Chapter 168: Ergency Mission (Third Release, Asking for Monthly Votes) _1
“What’s the situation?”
Pei Jinye had just returned to the base when he saw the wall at the western entrance blown open as if it had been directly bombed, and it wasn’t the only place; many areas within the base were billowing with thick smoke.
Anyone uninford might have thought it had been bombarded.
Turned out, Zhou Ye said that just half an hour ago, the base had indeed been bombed.
“Starfire Army’s tactics are so wild?” Pei Jinye was sowhat surprised.
Zhou Ye gave a bitter smile and said, “Jailbreaking is their specialty.”
Soon, Pei Jinye saw the surveillance footage… precision blasting, throwing flash grenades, more than twenty people bursting into the base, and in less than five minutes, a group of people made a run for it.
Pei Jinye watched in astonishnt and turned his head to ask, “Is our base made of paper?”
Zhou Ye looked embarrassed.
While they were on their way to the second team’s eting room, they heard a high-ranking officer swearing furiously sowhere upstairs.
Zhou Ye sighed, “I heard it’s not just Da Peng City, the neighboring cities have also been hit by the Starfire Army.”
Pei Jinye raised his eyebrows slightly, “What are they trying to do?”
“I’m puzzled too… It feels like Central State is being targeted, it’s really freaking absurd…”
Zhou Ye, cursing under his breath, accompanied Pei Jinye into the eting room.
Qiu Hezi’s eyes were bloodshot; upon arriving in the eting room, he skipped any nonsense talk, “Teams 7 and 8 have already sent people in pursuit. Our team is responsible for coordinating with the communications team to backtrack and trace the intruders… Everyone turn in your communication devices and be prepared to work overti today.”
“Yes!”
The communications team consisted mostly of won, most of them young and beautiful girls, with an average age of around 24, but quite aloof.
The second team had barely exchanged greetings with the communications team when they had already hurried off, one team responsible for the periphery of the base, the other for network detection, and they exchanged related intelligence.
Pei Jinye, diligently acting as a searcher, ran ‘Spring Chapter’ of the Four Seasons Talisman in secret, not giving up his own training because of the mission.
He joined the Investigation Team for resources.
Being a loyal drone was never his goal.
“Team leader, we’ve found sothing!”
By the nearby sewer, soone shouted out loud, indicating the footprints inside, and added so information about elental reactions.
Qiu Hezi hurried over, “Has the Descriptive Writer arrived?”
“On the way.”
Zhou Ye, looking enviously at the young man who had just pointed out a discovery, said, “Another rit for you, I’m envious.”
“Not necessarily only here,” Pei Jinye seed more optimistic.
He too needed rits; although these rits wouldn’t allow him to get promoted, they could increase his importance.
As if he found sothing, he crouched down to look at a white streak on the wall, following the streak… Zhou Ye beat him to it, exclaiming, “This is… bloodstains!!!”
Pei Jinye silently looked over.
Zhou Ye excitedly shouted, “Team leader, we have a discovery!”
Qiu Hezi hurried over, “What have you found.”
“There are bloodstains here, fresh from not long ago…” Zhou Ye hurriedly said.
“Well done, I’ll make a note of your rit!” Qiu Hezi said cheerfully.
Zhou Ye scratched his head and gestured toward Pei Jinye, “Team leader, it wasn’t who found it, it was Jinye.”
Qiu Hezi looked at Pei Jinye in surprise, nodding with appreciation, “Well done. Extract the blood and pass it to the forensics team for identification…”
“Understood!”
Zhou Ye didn’t seem to think what he had done was a big deal, carefully extracted the blood, and then handed the test tube to Pei Jinye, “Rember to treat to dinner when the reward cos through; let share in your good fortune.”
Pei Jinye chuckled and shook his head, “Of course, no problem.”
Turns out, he had misjudged Zhou Ye’s intentions.
Half an hour later.
The communications team discovered that two kiloters away, there had been suspicious radio waves an hour ago; Qiu Hezi imdiately assigned Pei Jinye and Zhou Ye to check it out.
“Old Ji, take two others with you.”
“Understood.”
Two kiloters wasn’t far, it was just that the area discovered by the communications team had many alleys.
Splitting up into two-person teams, Pei Jinye and the others divided the area and started their detection.
“This side looks old and seems like it hasn’t been frequented by many people for quite so ti…” Zhou Ye said, looking at the mottled wooden door, and wiped his gloved hand on the door, showing a layer of dust.
Pei Jinye looked up at the nearby surveillance cara.
“I asked just now, this place often has short circuits with the electrical wiring, this surveillance cara is just for show…” Seeing what he was looking at, Zhou Ye casually explained.
Pei Jinye took another look, “Why hasn’t anyone co to fix it?”
Zhou Ye leaned in and whispered, “Mainly because not many people live here, and the higher-ups don’t care.”
Pei Jinye turned away, not saying anymore.
They continued along the path.
Suddenly, their communication devices picked up a call from Old Ji.
“What’s wrong, Old Ji?” Zhou Ye imdiately asked with vigilance.
But there was only a crackling static coming through.
Zhou Ye quickly looked at Pei Jinye, sowhat at a loss.
Pei Jinye pressed the headquarters’ comm link, “Calling the team leader, this is Pei Jinye, currently unable to contact Old Ji, can’t assess the level of danger, requesting backup.”
After a mont.
Qiu Hezi’s voice ca through.
“Hold your position, don’t act rashly, we’re on our way.”
Pei Jinye drew his gun and chambered a round.
Zhou Ye tried to continue contacting Old Ji and his partner, but there was no response; he looked up at Pei Jinye, “Should we go check it out?”
“Follow the team leader’s orders,” Pei Jinye had already activated chanism Status.
Zhou Ye seed hesitant, “Old Pei, if we really find sothing this ti, that would be a big rit, but if we just stand here like this, we might end up with nothing!”
“Aren’t you afraid to die?” Pei Jinye glanced over, “I know you want to earn credit, but think for yourself, who is stronger, you or Old Ji? He’s been in the team for many years, isn’t his experience much more solid than yours? Even he couldn’t react to anything, do you think you can survive?”
Zhou Ye was taken aback.
“Sorry, I didn’t think it through just now.”
Pei Jinye didn’t respond, his gaze fixed on the mouth of the alley.
A shadow appeared there.
Zhou Ye noticed it too and imdiately raised his gun, shouting loudly, “Who’s there! Co out!”
Just then.
The voice of Qiu Hezi ca through the communicator, “We’ve arrived, where are you?”
Zhou Ye hurriedly fired a signal flare.
But in the next mont, the shadow at the entrance of the alley also vanished.
Pei Jinye and Zhou Ye chased after it but found nothing.
“Damn it!” cursed Zhou Ye silently, imdiately notifying Qiu Hezi, “Team leader, sothing just appeared. The identity of the other party is still unclear, requesting the alley be sealed off. They can’t escape!”
“Already sealed off,” the voice of Qiu Hezi ca, “You must be careful.”
“Received!”
Zhou Ye put down the communicator and turned to look at Pei Jinye, “Old Pei, do you think we can catch a big one today?”
“If we catch one, you’re buying dinner.”
“Haha, no problem!”
Soon, gunfire erupted in the alley.
Pei Jinye and Zhou Ye ran over to provide support, only to unexpectedly encounter a burst of black shadow breaking through a door. Zhou Ye was entangled by the black shadow and directly smashed through the opposite wall.
Pei Jinye went up and shot it in the head.
Under the Deadly Gun Sense, the bullet perfectly avoided Zhou Ye and hit the black shadow in the head.
A pool of blood and mud fell on the ground.
It’s not dead yet!
No, this isn’t human!
Pei Jinye’s face changed slightly, unable for a mont to discern what the black shadow was.
“Chaotically!”
Zhou Ye let out a cry of shock and anger.
Had it not been for the protection of his ch Body, he might have been drained dry by now.
He imdiately shouted, “Old Pei, take cover! It’s a mutated octopus!”
A mutated octopus?
Pei Jinye noticed Zhou Ye’s hand movents and imdiately dodged to the side.
“Tatatatatatata!”
The submachine gun burst into flas.
Pei Jinye noticed a tentacle near him, writhing on the ground, seemingly aware of his presence, as the tentacle quickly crawled towards him.
“Bang!”
The tentacle exploded.
Pei Jinye didn’t even give it a glance before he charged out.
Zhou Ye’s gun-holding hand was entangled by the tentacle of the mutated octopus, which now opened its gaping mouth, attempting to swallow him whole.
Pei Jinye shot it in the head once again.
The massive head now sported a hole the size of a thumb, but after a slight shake, it continued to gnaw at Zhou Ye’s ch Body helt-protected head.
“Chaotically!”
“Die! Die!”
Zhou Ye struggled fiercely.
Pei Jinye rushed forward and began tearing at it with his hands.
Without his great strength, it might not have been possible to pull apart.
Blood-soaked tentacles of the mutated octopus stretched out, entangling Pei Jinye’s arm.
A Titanium Knife in Pei Jinye’s other hand, chopped down directly.
After several slashes.
Nurous tentacles lay on the ground.
Zhou Ye staggered and sat on the ground, gasping for breath after his narrow escape.
He raised his head.
Pei Jinye was held up in mid-air by tentacles, the Titanium Knife in his hand plunged into the mutated octopus’s head, stirring madly.
Three seconds later.
The brain of the mutated octopus died, and the tentacles tearing at Pei Jinye’s ch Body fell weakly to the ground.
Pei Jinye managed to land safely from mid-air.
Zhou Ye said with alarm and uncertainty, “Old Pei, I have a feeling this is a trap! Such creatures have never appeared when the Starfire Army is deployed, and”
He looked towards the distant flas.
There’s not just one mutated octopus!
Pei Jinye was about to report.
“Pfft,” a sound!
He turned his head to look.
From the corner of his eye.
Zhou Ye stood in place, with a tal tentacle suddenly piercing through his chest.
The tal tentacle opened like the petals of a flower, revealing a hint of scarlet inside.
“Hiss”
A red gas sprayed out.
Wearing a helt, Pei Jinye was not afraid. Without wasting a word, his Titanium Knife in hand coldly chopped down.
The blade struck the opponent’s body.
Sparks flew everywhere.
It was all tal!
Pei Jinye was taken aback.
Suddenly, a hand appeared before him and pressed against his ch Body. With a “bang,” the ch Body dented inwards.
Pei Jinye was thrown backward in an instant.
His organs felt as though they were about to be shattered by the impact.
It was the first ti Pei Jinye felt such pain from being hit by soone.
But…
What on earth was that just now?
chanical tentacles… a human arm… terrifying Vitality fluctuations…
Where on earth did this monster co from!
