mbers of the special combat team t Pei Jinye at the junction.
It had only been three minutes since Ms. Xu Jing’s phone call, yet no one could have imagined that in this ti, Pei Jinye had already killed the escapee Lin Baohe.
“Old Pei.” Liu Feng greeted Pei Jinye from inside the vehicle. He was wearing a headset and seed to be communicating with the command center: “Yes, Advisor Pei has arrived. We are heading to Qing Shi Lane… Yes, received.”
He gestured with the communicator in his hand: “Advisor Pei, a call from Captain Yang.”
Pei Jinye nodded, climbed into the combat vehicle, and took the encrypted communicator from him: “Captain Yang, this is Pei Jinye.”
“Advisor Pei, I’ll fill you in on the latest situation. A suspected Awakener of at least Fifth Rank has been spotted in Qing Shi Lane, identity unknown. The Judgent Place has already deployed high-rank Awakeners. There’s no need for you to head over. Go to Street No.10 to support a joint attack with the Military Departnt.”
“Yes.”
“Be careful and don’t overdo it,” Yang Shanhe added one last piece of advice.
“I understand.”
After ending the communication, Pei Jinye turned to Liu Feng and the others: “Following the superior’s orders, we will imdiately head to Street No.10 to cooperate with the Military Departnt in encircling and suppressing the rebels.”
“Yes.”
This particular operation was confined to the special combat team; regular team mbers like Brother Bi and Zhou Ye were not involved in the frontline battle.
Pei Jinye picked up a sniper rifle again.
“Specially prepared for you,” Liu Feng said with a smile.
“It’s been a long ti,” Pei Jinye remarked nostalgically.
He was officially registered with the Federation as having Extraordinary-Human Genes belonging to the Psychic Class.
Vitality robust, and for martial arts, he was listed as being in the Lower Three Realm, having practiced both Body Technique and swordsmanship.
Beyond that, he had no other notable skills.
It was by chance that he exploited a “bug” in sniping during combat.
“It’s been a while since you’ve used it, have you still got your accuracy?” Liu Feng asked curiously.
“I have… I guess?”
The uncertainty in Pei Jinye’s reply made Liu Feng involuntarily twitch the corner of his mouth.
But Pei Jinye didn’t care what he thought. He tapped his personal communicator to check on the real-ti combat information.
Twenty minutes later.
The special combat team arrived at Street No.10. The scene was already chaotic; the Military Departnt and the Starfire Army had been in battle for half an hour, with bullet holes and traces of cuts everywhere on the streets.
The flashes of fire in the night resembled devils dancing wildly in the darkness.
Even Liu Feng felt chills looking at it.
“The opposition has been driven into the Deep Sea Building and is now preparing for a full assault. Advisor Pei, I heard you can use a sniper rifle?” The voice of the person in charge from the Military Departnt ca through the headset.
“In this operation, our Investigation Team is just assisting. You professionals go ahead; we’ll cover you,” Pei Jinye was not in the mood for idle chatter.
There might be an Extraordinary Fifth Rank Awakener among them, and with their ability, it’s doubtful they could keep the opponent pinned. He was rely here to blend in; shouting orders was one thing, but actually engaging was another.
The person from the Military Departnt seed taken aback by Pei Jinye’s response and paused for a mont.
Pei Jinye urged: “Our Investigation Team has already set up ambush points at neighboring street corners; you can act whenever you’re ready. However, I suggest you call for high-rank support. From the current situation, it’s possible that the other side is deliberately baiting you…”
“Just do your part,” said the Military Departnt’s chief brusquely.
Pei Jinye wasn’t surprised by this attitude.
He had said what he needed to say, and if anything went wrong, it wouldn’t be his problem to bear.
…
Liu Feng, sitting next to Pei Jinye, glanced at the flas spewing out of the distant building and whispered: “They’ve started the assault over there.”
Pei Jinye nodded: “Tell the brothers to be careful. Given that they can perform explosions and have held out until now, their strength is unquestionable. What’s more, I’m worried… they have bigger designs.”
After a mont of thought, Liu Feng, realizing sothing, whispered: “That actually makes sense. Lin Baohe has already managed to escape amidst the chaos. There’s no reason for the people from the Starfire Army to still be holding out. But what exactly are they planning to do?”
Pei Jinye was also in contemplation and asked casually: “Have all the other escaped criminals been captured yet?”
“Most of them have been recaptured. I heard that a checkpoint set up by the Night Patrol Departnt was breached ten minutes ago. It’s unclear whether they were recaptured.”
Pei Jinye nodded.
Suddenly, an explosion ca from the Deep Sea Building.
Liu Feng and the others stood up, showing shocked expressions.
“That explosion… how many bombs has the Starfire Army prepared? What is the Night Patrol Departnt doing that they didn’t notice this?”
“Who knows how much more explosive they have on hand… They aren’t planning to blow up the whole Da Peng City, are they?”
Uncertainty was written on everyone’s faces.
Just then, Pei Jinye received a notification from Xing Tian: [The movents of the Starfire Army have been detected. Their target is the military armory.]
“The military armory?” Pei Jinye raised an eyebrow.
The armory was not close; even if they drove there, it would take more than forty minutes.
“What’s in the armory besides military ordnance?”
“We are still investigating.”
Before Pei Jinye could say anything further, the top of the Deep Sea Building appeared to be severed by a Light Slash. The massive roof, like a night curtain under the flas, plumted toward the ground below.
In the midst of everyone’s cries of alarm,
a beam of light burst forth in the distance, and the falling rooftop imdiately slowed down.
The people from the Judgent Place had arrived.
Three figures rushed into the Deep Sea Building.
Soon, explosions continued to ring out, and as the personnel from inside the building rushed out, Pei Jinye began to take action with Liu Feng and the others.
Luckily, the strength of the erging personnel wasn’t high, and although the battle was tense, the area Pei Jinye was responsible for did not get breached.
Forced into a corner, the people from the Starfire Army could only retreat and attempt to break through from other locations.
The fight lasted for over an hour.
The mbers of the Investigation Team’s special warfare squad only had one with a minor injury, and that was because he got scared and sat down hard on a sharp rock, which turned the unfortunate soul into the butt of jokes for the entire team. He wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
…
The next morning.
As soon as Brother Bi ran into Zhou Ye, they started to fervently discuss last night’s big battle.
“Heard it was another joint operation among the three departnts, so intense.”
“Starfire Army fought desperately to resist, but ultimately escaped. However, that Third Rank who fled before was captured again, and it was by the guys from the Judgent Place this ti. He’s probably in for so harsh torture… ah, truly tragic.”
Once Brother Bi heard what Zhou Ye said, he imdiately raised an eyebrow, glanced around, and then glared, saying, “What do you an by desperately resisting, and what do you an by truly tragic? Seems like there’s a problem with your ideological awareness, buddy.”
“Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue,” Zhou Ye chuckled nervously.
Brother Bi didn’t pay him any further attention. “With such a commotion last night, I bet quite a few people are not going to keep their official hats on their heads.”
“Who do you think will go? The prison side must be entirely cleaned out, are we from the Investigation Team going to get dealt with too? If Captain Yang gets pulled down, that’d be a real loss.”
“Kid, you just don’t understand. They’ll sweep out a bunch of deputies first. The prison side surely can’t escape responsibility. The other departnts, at most, will get a warning.”
“Brother Bi, you really know your stuff,” Zhou Ye said, giving a thumbs up.
Brother Bi snorted in amusent but was still quite pleased.
Just then, Gu Wutong hurried over, scanning the surroundings. “Pei Jinye didn’t co?”
“He did, said he had so matters to attend to. We’ll catch up with him in a bit,” Zhou Ye gestured.
Gu Wutong sat down and then said mysteriously, “About last night…”
“We’re talking about it right now,” Zhou Ye interrupted, then his eyes lit up as he urged, “Co on, tell us. Do you have so secret news again?”
“Not exactly a secret, I just found out. Last night, Heaven God’s Lin Baohe was killed on the spot. When people from the Judgent Place did a Retrogression on the scene, they discovered that the attacker was actually soone from Sky God International…”
“What? Killing their own? What kind of secret did Lin Baohe know that made him a target for silencing within their own ranks… Sky God International really should be taken care of, playing such filthy gas,” Zhou Ye said with a sneer.
Gu Wutong shook his head. “That’s probably difficult. Several vice presidents of Sky God International have connections with the Federation Headquarters. Taking them down would require a purge of so big tigers at the Federation Headquarters first.”
“I suggest we should start with…”
Zhou Ye was about to say sothing when Brother Bi kicked him. “You suggest nothing. Ti to eat.”
Zhou Ye was startled and looked up.
The high-ranking officials from the base, including Minister Gao and others, were passing by. He quickly lowered his head, pretending he knew nothing.
Gu Wutong glanced at the back of Minister Gao before lowering his voice and saying, “You probably don’t know, but last night Starfire Army was making a feint to the east while attacking in the west. They caused such a commotion at the Deep Sea Building, but it was actually all for the arsenal.”
“The arsenal?” Zhou Ye was stunned, puzzled. “For weapons? I was wondering where they got all those bombs from.”
“No, it’s for the Sealing Objects. The arsenal had Sealing Objects hidden inside, sothing no one expected. And because the other side got a hold of the Sealing Objects, that’s why so many of their mbers could successfully retreat. If you ask , Chen Fuhai was a real man, knowing he couldn’t escape, he just charged forward to draw fire. They say when he was captured, he had been stabbed at least seventeen tis.”
“Damn… ow! Must have hurt like hell?” Zhou Ye exclaid in shock.
Brother Bi raised an eyebrow slightly, “Sealing Objects? The arsenal was actually hiding Sealing Objects?”
…
“Why didn’t we know about the Sealing Objects hidden in the arsenal?”
At that mont, inside the eting room.
Deputy Head of the Investigation Team, Lu Haoshan, felt sowhat disgruntled.
On the screen, a general from the Military Departnt said expressionlessly, “We are still following up with an investigation on this matter…”
“Why wasn’t there a tily report?” Lu Haoshan snorted coldly.
Arguing with the military.
Everyone knew that the operation last night was a failure. Lu Haoshan stepping up now ant he was trying to shift bla away from their Investigation Team.
As the two sides argued their cases, Pei Jinye sat next to Yang Shanhe, imrsed in thought.
Last night he didn’t get the chance to confront the real experts of the Starfire Army.
If it weren’t for the crowd around him.
He would probably have taken action to seize the Sealing Objects.
It was said that the Sealing Objects could manifest black mist, depriving one’s vision.
[Sounds good, I’ll take it.]
…
The eting dragged on for a full hour and a half.
In the end, the directives issued by the Central State ca down.
Those who should step down did so…
As for the military and the Investigation Team, they too were warned and had their bonuses docked.
Many of the higher-ups in the Investigation Team wore unconcealed disgruntlent on their faces.
“What else do they want us to do? Advisor Pei personally led the team to successfully snipe the rebels, which is clearly ritorious, as for the matter with the arsenal, that’s not within our jurisdiction…”
Everyone felt aggrieved.
Eventually, the eting was adjourned.
Inside Ms. Xu Jing’s office.
She personally poured a cup of tea for Pei Jinye, “Not thinking too much?”
“What should I be thinking about?” Pei Jinye took the tea.
Ms. Xu Jing shook her head. “Such is the environnt we’re in. Maybe when you get up there soday, you’ll have the chance to change all this.”
Pei Jinye was noncommittal.
Right now, his mind was on his family’s plantation.
It should be ti for a harvest today.
