let’s stick to the old thod, scale the wall!
I see the walls of Queenstown aren’t very high, about five or six ters, we can easily get over by forming a human ladder.”
“As for what to do after getting in, don’t worry, CC and I are experts at finding safes, we have a plan and can take our ti.
Everyone just needs to help us with the human ladder.”
It seems.
They couldn’t avoid the task of building a human ladder after all.
The thod was a bit crude.
But its virtue lay in its reliability across all eras.
...
The group stood in a line on top of a small hill, looking out at the twinkling lights of Queenstown in the distance, waiting for the command to move out.
At this mont.
Lin Xian felt that illusion again, as if the Dawn Organization was preparing to attack Konoha Village.
But the team around him was indeed growing larger; he had more and more friends, and their thods were also increasing — everything was improving.
Finally.
The moon that had just risen was once again concealed by dark clouds, plunging the world into darkness.
Big Face Cat gestured grandly:
“Move out!”
The group ran through the night-shrouded forest, taking a roundabout route to avoid detection, stopping and starting for an hour until they finally arrived outside the southwestern wall of Queenstown.
There was a reason for choosing this location.
According to Lin Xian’s observations.
The busiest, most crowded part of Queenstown surely lay in the central area.
Surrounding it were several districts with plenty of lights, where every household seed to live comfortably with oil lamps burning everywhere, and even the main thoroughfares had lanterns acting as street lights, naturally with patrolling guards.
But this southwestern corner was the exception, with very sparse lighting and no guards turning their patrol toward this area.
Lin Xian speculated then:
“Maybe there aren’t many people living in the southwest corner.
In any case, the security and patrol intensity are very low, so it’s obviously the place where we should break through.”
CC also agreed with this view:
“In other areas, there are too many people in Queenstown; infiltration would certainly be detected.
From what we can see of the night view now, there’s very little light in the southwest corner, almost none…
It’s strange, why is this place so quiet when other parts of Queenstown are bustling?”
Old Wei Shengjin pondered for a few seconds.
And gave a professional answer:
“Maybe it’s because of the old town district?
From what you said, Queenstown has been developing for quite so ti, so this developnt is naturally radiating, gradually leading to the construction of new buildings shifting the city center.”
“In such a developntal process, the old city district would inevitably be abandoned, left to waste.
If it was a city with tight land resources, they would demolish it for reuse.”
“But on Earth right now, the land is vast with few people, so there’s no concern about land resources, and probably this old district was left to waste away, uninhabited and unattended — indeed a good spot for intrusion.”
…
Upon reaching the outskirts of the southwestern corner of the wall, the four mbers of Lian Gang began to warm up.
Wei Shengjin handed Lin Xian a small pistol:
“Lin Xian, this old body of mine surely can’t scale the wall, so take this gun for self-defense.
If you find my safe, you know the combination; please help open it and check what’s inside.”
“If possible, I naturally hope you can bring out sothing for to see, but if that’s inconvenient, just rember what the items inside look like and describe them to after.
In any case…
be safe, life cos first.”
“Got it, don’t worry.”
Lin Xian accepted the generous gift from Old Wei Shengjin, promising:
“I can’t guarantee that the mission will be completed today, but rest assured, I always find a way.
I’ll figure out everything about Queenstown as soon as possible and find the safe.”
“To be honest…
Mr.
Wei, I’m now even more curious about what’s in your safe than you are, I’m quite looking forward to it.”
CC took out her Black Iron Cleaver from Wei Shengjin’s possession.
But Lin Xian thought it was too conspicuous and not conducive to staying hidden, so he found a Multi-Function Army Knife from Wei Shengjin’s backpack and handed it to her:
“Use this.
Your cleaver is just too conspicuous.”
Once everything was ready.
At the command of Big Face Cat, the human ladder, representing the bonds and friendship of the Lian Gang, was swiftly put together.
Because the walls were not high.
The height of Big Face Cat, San Pang, Ah Zhuang, and Er Zhuzi was more than sufficient, making the ladder they ford have a gentle incline, easy to climb.
Lin Xian led the way with his parkour skills in full display, scaling over in no ti.
Fortunately, there was an old locust tree on the other side of the wall, which he used to safely land by repeatedly pushing off between the tree trunk and the inner wall.
Perfect infiltration!
This was also the reason Lin Xian decided to scale the wall first.
Unlike the Waste Treatnt Plant in The Second Dreamland, there weren’t piles of trash inside the wall to provide footholds.
The five or six ters fall could easily cause injury without excellent parkour skills.
Whew————
Lin Xian blew a long whistle.
It signified safety and reminded himself that he was ready to cover CC’s descent over the wall.
Outside the wall, the sound of accelerated running was imdiately heard.
Then —
“Ouch!”
Er Zhuzi let out a muffled cry, and at that five or six ters height, a green sun hat along with CC tumbled down over the wall!
Clearly, CC must have accidentally kicked Er Zhuzi in the back of the head while making her leap, knocking the green sun hat inside.
“…”
Lin Xian watched the hat falling straight down from the sky, feeling like it was haunting him.
Regardless, he definitely needed to help CC land safely first.
