Chapter 392: Extraordinary Person!
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
Liangshan County was a gathering spot of ethnic minority groups. It was also a well-known barren region. Numerous tall mountains towered into the clouds, causing one to wonder if it was fog or clouds on dark days.
The speed of Bei Feng’s group was fast beyond belief, and they directly charged into the boundless mountainous region. The jagged and uneven terrain was like flat ground to them.
“How far are we from the place?” Bei Feng asked emotionlessly. His voice was so cold that it caused others to feel a shiver run down their spine.
Mystic Three took out an apparatus and looked at it for a moment before confirming,
“Boss, we’re still about a hundred li away. If we measure in a straight line, it’s less than 40 li.”
Bei Feng nodded his head and said, “En, take note of your surroundings and be careful. Don’t die here.”
Their mission this time was to flatten an underground base in this region.
As for the source of the intelligence, it had naturally been distributed by Mount Kunlun. The underground base had been hidden very deeply. Even Mount Kunlun had only confirmed their location a month ago.
Bei Feng was the person in charge this time, and his mission was to completely wipe out this base.
In another direction, about a dozen martial experts were rushing towards the base as well.
“Tao Yun, are you sure that this direction is correct?”
“There’s no mistake, I’ve already followed that person here once, and it’s not far from here!” a youngster in the squad guaranteed with confidence.
“Strange, we’re supposed to be very near, but the detection equipment is not responding at all, how did they do it? This is already the latest detection equipment!”
The leader of the squad felt extremely bewildered as he looked at the unresponsive detective equipment with disbelief. This was the latest detection equipment, and it could detect the presence of metal within 50 li. It was impossible to escape its detection if the base was within its range.
…Unless the base was several hundred meters or a kilometer underground. The base was constructed inside of a mountain range, but it could actually escape detection. This was truly inconceivable.
“Hur hur, I have feeling that we’ve caught a large fish this time. Just the anti-detection technology is not something an ordinary organization could have!”
Hu Yue smiled gleefully. There were no traces of any worry in his eyes at all.
This group were made up entirely of Dark Jing masters, and the leader was even a powerful Evolved Jing expert!
“Do we have the ability to swallow this organization? I feel like we should report this matter directly to the Martial Practitioners Control Department; there will still be large amounts of contribution points, and we don’t have to risk our lives and do the fighting. What is there against it?” another person said with some worry.
“Did you all forget where this is? This is China, one of the places with the strictest regulations against weapons in the entire world. At best, those people will only have a few guns with them and that’s it,” a 30-something-year-old woman said with indifference. If it was another country, it was not difficult for an organization to hide large numbers of powerful weapons. But this was nearly impossible in China. Even a collection of a few handheld rockets was quite an impressive feat.
“We should still remain cautious. Although we can even threaten Evolved Jing masters after obtaining some guns, we still have a mortal body in the end. If we get hit, we’ll similarly die,” the Evolved Jing expert said. The rest also fell silent and sped up through the woods.
“Peng!”
A foreign man dressed in camouflage and hiding at the top of a tree fell to the ground, his neck twisted.
“Hu Yue, which number is this?”
A figure walked out from the jagged terrain with a dagger in his hand. The dagger was still drenched in blood, and droplets of blood fell to the ground at a steady pace, creating lots of blood colored flower pattern on the ground.
“Who knows? I couldn’t be bothered to count trash like this. They’re much weaker than the enemies we met in our mercenary days.”
Hu Yue shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly as he turned around and headed into the forest.
Half an hour later, all the guards outside had been cleaned up by Hu Yue’s group. After that, they did not conceal themselves anymore, and gathered at the foot of the mountain.
Marlo’s expression was extremely dark as he looked at the scene transmitted back from the surveillance device. “Blaise, go out there and make those idiots pay a price. Also capture a few back here alive. I want to know who sent them here.”
“Understood.”
A hoarse voice rang out. Marlo was the only figure in the room, but the voice actually appeared from the space in front of him!
A ripple flashed past the space before him, as if something had been there.
“Looks like his place is no longer secure. Since someone could find it once, it won’t be long until someone else discovers it as well.”
Marlo’s expression darkened further as he sighed. His plans here had not been completed yet.
But it was only a matter of time until they were discovered. Large numbers of living human specimens were needed to advance this part of the plan. With so many people going missing in a short span of time, even if it were only the homeless bums or countryside people that had gone missing, they were bound to get found out once the number of missing people reached a certain level.
“I was planning to move the base anyway. If you want to blame someone, blame it on your own bad luck.”
Marlo had already planned a proper path of retreat back when he established this base. If not for Lina’s unique ability through these years, this base would have been discovered long ago.
Hu Yue’s group was currently in an extremely awkward position. They were staring helplessly at a huge metallic door hidden among the rocky cliffs. They had not brought any hot weapons with them, and could not do anything against this reinforced door.
“Kacha!”
A light sound rang out, as though a lock was being opened. Following that, the huge metal door slowly swung open.
Seeing that the door had suddenly opened, everyone hurriedly dashed to the side for cover.
“What’s going on? Are they inviting the enemy inside?”
Tao Yuan’s face was filled with confusion. He thought that they’d be greeted with gunfire pinning them down as soon as the door opened. But, unexpectedly, there wasn’t a single person to be seen.
“Putong!”
Three light sounds rang out, and the stench of blood wafted over.
“Not right!”
Zheng Jun’s face turned ugly as the stench of blood filled his nose. At this kind of time, where could the smell of blood come from?
Zheng Jun suddenly had an extremely ominous feeling. “Everyone, come gather around me!”
The others looked up with bewilderment. Although they didn’t know why Zheng Jun would suddenly call them to gather, the trust they had formed over the years caused them to rush over without hesitation.
Zheng Jun raised his alertness. His eyes were like an eagle’s as he looked towards the people around him. His heart was filled with rage in that moment—two people were missing!
“Boss, someone killed Zhang Fan and Lin Fei without a trace?!”
After everyone gathered, they could see Zheng Jun’s solemn expression. Then, as they looked around, they realized that two of their group had not returned. In that moment, everyone understood what had happened.
“Puchi!”
A soft sound appeared. Zheng Jun looked down in horror at the blade protruding from his chest.
“Chen Ce! Have you gone mad?!”
Everyone looked at Chen Ce who was standing behind Zheng Jun with disbelief and shock. No matter how they thought, they could not understand why Chen Ce would do something like this.
“Quick, run! He’s not Chen Ce, the real Chen Ce is already dead!”
Zheng Jun’s face was pale and savage. He could feel that his life was fading away with incredible speed. In that moment, he gathered all his energy and smashed his body backwards.
