sneak attack
Sitting on the chair by the window, Ling Shi looked out the window without looking away.
It wasn't that he was observing anything, but he was too embarrassed to look at Lu Tingxiao beside him, and he didn't want to be talked to by anyone, including him.
My voice is too hoarse and it will be exposed as soon as I speak.
He really didn't want to make up some lame lie about a sore throat from a cold.
The body has evolved to this level, so it is not so easy to get sick.
Perhaps knowing what he was thinking, Lu Tingxiao beside him remained silent all the way and did not disturb him.
In just half an hour, the plane had approached the isolated island.
The island is oval in shape, only about two kilometers long from north to south and only one kilometer wide from east to west. For a tourist resort, it is a very small island.
Just as Green had said, the island was completely sealed off. A metal fence several times taller than the one surrounding Australia and America tightly encircled the island, leaving only a small opening for sunlight to filter in.
"Team Road," Makino's voice came over the radio, "We're unsure if anyone is on the island. Approaching or descending rashly will alert us and we might come under fire. Please give us instructions."
Ling Shi looked out the window. Just as Makino said, from their current angle, they couldn't see the situation on the island clearly.
At this moment, Lu Tingxiao beside him suddenly pressed on him, almost hugging him in his arms.
Ling Shi turned his head slightly and cursed under his breath, "What are you doing?! We're on a plane!"
Lu Tingxiao turned his gaze from the window back to him and chuckled, “If I don’t get closer, I can’t see what’s happening outside the window.”
Ling Shi then realized that he wanted to investigate the situation on the island, not to act like a hooligan as he thought!
This time, his face flushed slightly, and he couldn't refute a word. He turned his head away angrily, looked out the window and ignored everyone.
Before she could calm down, Lu Tingxiao quietly hooked her fingers around her.
But the man didn't say a word to him. Instead, he turned around and ordered, "Ma Minghong, prepare the grenades and raid the island. Aim carefully and throw them where there are no people."
"Makino, create chaos and land at the right time."
Both of them: "Yes."
Ling Shi shook his hands but failed to break free. He turned around and glared at Lu Tingxiao, only to see that the man was smiling at him shamelessly.
His heart softened and he let him do as he pleased.
If any teammate finds out... I'll have to kill him to silence him.
The plane began to descend. After it landed slightly above the metal fence, it began to approach the island from east to west.
Flying at such a low altitude was extremely dangerous. Fortunately, Makino's piloting skills were top-notch, and he managed to get close without any danger.
Seeing that they were very close to the metal fence, Ma Minghong fastened his seat belt and opened the cabin door. He estimated the distance, raised the prepared grenade launcher, and loaded it with grenades.
Looking into the island from this position, the view is extremely limited, and you can only see the deserted dense forest and beach in the distance.
Ma Minghong aimed at the dense forest, pulled the trigger, and fired the grenade.
The sky cast a graceful arc, passed through most of the island, and fell into the dense forest in the distance.
Bang--
The noise was very loud.
An explosion cloud rose above the dense forest, quickly covering all the surrounding vegetation.
The trees were immediately ignited, and when the sea breeze blew, the fire followed the wind direction and swept towards the center of the island.
The voices suddenly became noisy.
"Fire! Fire!"
"It's a hot weapon! Someone's attacking!"
“Alert! Alert!”
Lu Tingxiao had been keeping an eye on the situation on the island. When he saw the crowd stirring towards the dense forest, he immediately ordered, "Muye, land."
Makino controlled the slightly swaying plane, brushed the metal fence, and flew into the island.
Many people turned their backs to them and ran away. For a moment, no one noticed them.
The plane flew towards a nearby lawn and landed smoothly in just ten minutes.
It is located near the beach and is separated from the center of the island by a bamboo forest, making it extremely hidden.
The entire White Eagle team packed their equipment, got off the plane, and quietly headed towards the center of the island.
Only then did Ling Shi realize that his body was not responding to his commands.
He was running so fast to catch the plane just now that he didn't feel any discomfort.
When sitting on the plane, there were no big movements and I felt good.
But now, as he was moving forward quickly with his back bent, he realized belatedly that all the muscles below his waist, at the base of his thighs, on the inner sides, and especially at the back, which were involved in the movement, were sore and numb.
If there were a sprint race at this time, he would definitely be the last one in the team.
Perhaps it was because of his posture that was wrong. Lu Tingxiao quickly ran to his side, looked at him with concern, and asked in a low voice: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Ling Shi gritted his teeth and ran quickly, trying to adapt as quickly as possible.
But Lu Tingxiao refused to give in: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that last night. I knew I had a mission today, but I still..."
"Shut up!" Ling Shi cursed, unable to bear it any longer. "Get out front and give orders!"
He was already feeling uncomfortable, and the man next to him was still muttering and poking at his shameful nerves, making him feel uncomfortable from head to toe and inside out!
I always feel that if I let this guy continue talking, he will dig a hole and hide in it.
He did not regret his choice last night, and even got a lot of happiness from it, but this was not something worth showing off. Wouldn't it be better to be low-key?
Seeing Ling Shi getting angry, Lu Tingxiao quickly pursed his lips, said nothing, and ran to the front to lead the way.
They passed through the dense bamboo forest and, under the cover of vegetation, soon approached the building complex in the center of the island.
The traces of human activities finally appeared before them.
The complex is clearly divided into two parts. The southern half houses a resort hotel, originally used as a tourist attraction, and a small number of shops. However, there are no more tourists here, only soldiers in white coats clutching documents and armed with guns wandering back and forth.
On the northern half, there are all white-walled buildings arranged in rows. The architectural style is simple, but the materials are excellent. It is obvious that they were built specifically for the study of dragon horns.
The Dragon Horn is most likely inside one of the buildings.
"The building in the middle," Ling Shi suddenly said, "the one with a soldier guarding the door."
When he spoke, his voice was extremely hoarse, with a hint of laziness from fatigue.
On the plane, no one except Lu Tingxiao heard him speak. He also adhered to the creed of being mute for a day.
But now that he's here, he has to speak.
This extremely hoarse voice really scared others.
Zuo Hao was the first to rush over and ask, "Captain Ling, what's wrong with your throat?"
Running back and forth in the minefield as always.
Captain Ling ignored him.
How do you explain this?
Besides, he also felt a subtle dissatisfaction.
It was Lu Tingxiao who had tormented him into this state. If he hadn't repeatedly requested and refused to let him go, he wouldn't have been so mute.
Seeing that Ling Shi didn't answer, Zuo Hao took a deep breath and wanted to ask more.
Lu Tingxiao scolded him, "Focus and prepare to attack."
After saying that, he turned to look at Ling Shi: "How are you sure?"
He did not doubt Ling Shi's judgment, but was curious about the basis of Ling Shi's judgment.
Zuo Hao, who was interrupted for no reason, pursed his lips: "......"
Ling Shi cleared his throat quietly and answered in a calm voice, "There's a residual scent of dragon horn at the door, and the concentration is significantly higher than elsewhere."
Lu Tingxiao had always known that Ling Shi was different from other evolved dragon warriors and spiritual beings. He was the only one with a ratio of nearly 2:1 between the two cell types.
But he never asked why.
Now, Ling Shi’s peculiarity is once again evident.
Among all the dragon warriors here, no one is more sensitive to the smell of dragon horns than him.
We were comrades before, so it was hard to ask about such confidential matters. But now... after all, we said all sorts of dirty talk in bed last night. Regardless of whether it was shamelessly forced upon us by him under special circumstances, he's convinced of this relationship. So, it's time to ask about my wife's little secrets. Knowing more about her will allow me to better protect her.
Such a thought flashed through Lu Tingxiao's mind.
"Xiang Chongyi," Lu Tingxiao ordered, "you will be responsible for distracting the guards at the gate. Everyone else, follow me and attack."
Xiang Chongyi received the order, and his ghostly shadow moved towards the white building in the middle.
He deliberately held back some strength so that the guards would notice him.
"Who is it!" the guard shouted. He opened the safety bolt of his rifle and nervously aimed at the direction where Chongyi appeared.
Xiang Chongyi stopped his fast pace, glanced at the guard, and ran towards the burning forest at the speed of an ordinary person.
The guard was fooled, cursed, and chased after Xiang Chongyi.
Lu Tingxiao led the others out of the bamboo forest, crossed the chaotic small square, and approached the building.
There were still a few soldiers in white coats and running fast in the small square. They were all startled by the sudden explosion and fire. Some seemed to be fleeing in panic, while others seemed to be rushing to the scene of the incident.
Just as the White Eagle Team was about to run to the door of the target building, a soldier finally noticed that something was wrong with them.
"Hey! What are you doing?!"
Lai Xinyuan fired a soft bullet that hit the soldier's lateral carotid artery, and the soldier fell down without a sound.
When another man in a white coat saw this scene, his eyes widened in horror, and he ran away quickly holding the documents in his hand.
Almost at the same time, Ma Minghong kicked the door open, and the entire team quickly entered the house.
Once we got in, everyone was a little dumbfounded.
It was a very small room, not even as big as the living room of the luxury hotel suite they were staying in. It was empty except for four whitewashed walls.
The others remained motionless, keeping a vigilant eye on their surroundings. Lu Tingxiao looked at Ling Shi.
Ling Shi sniffed, took two steps, and sniffed again.
This action...somehow looks like a cute dog.
If the mission wasn't so serious and urgent, Lu Tingxiao really wanted to make a few jokes.
Ling Shi walked to a wall, pressed his hand against it, and knocked. The wall made a hollow thumping sound.
"Peng Gaoxuan, come and help."
Peng Gaoxuan walked over and, together with Ling Shi, put their hands on the wall and pushed hard.
The trace of a small door appeared and slowly retreated backwards following the force of the two people.
Soon, the small door retreated more than one meter, and there was a different world behind the door.
Ling Shi waved to them and was the first to walk behind the door.
Behind the door was another small room, about the same size as the one we had just entered. The only difference was that in the center of the room, there was a staircase leading down.
It was dark at the bottom of the stairs and I couldn't see anything clearly, but I could hear the noisy clanging sound of chains colliding with each other.
"There's something underneath." Lu Tingxiao pulled Ling Shi and said, "Be careful."
Ling Shi patted Lu Tingxiao's hand soothingly and continued walking down.
Why is this person nagging? There's always danger in carrying out a mission.
Maybe...after last night, the relationship between them has become different.
Thinking of this, Ling Shi felt his face getting hot.
He calmed himself down and continued walking down.
I walked to the bottom of the stairs and turned along the wall, and the view suddenly became bright.
This is a huge experimental site, which obviously connects all the white buildings in this row.
The decoration is also white, with an oversized laboratory table and various experimental equipment in the middle, and hundreds of white boxes placed in a large circle against the wall.
The box is about two meters high, milky white in color, and appears to be made of high-density aviation material.
The clanging sound of metal colliding that they had just heard came from these boxes.
Thanks to the artillery shell fired by Ma Minghong, there is no one guarding this place now.
Ling Shi walked into the first box and immediately saw the transparent air vent on the top of the box.
He looked inside and was surprised.
Inside was a ferocious, corrupted man with his hands and feet shackled with metal chains, sitting on the ground and clanging against each other.
So that's how the sound comes from.
Ling Shi continued to move forward.
Each box contained a corrupted person of various appearances: men and women, young and old, and even of different races.
After about twenty boxes, Ling Shi saw a sober human.
He was about twenty years old, thin and frail, with a red mole the size of an egg on his left cheek. At this moment, he was leaning against the wall of the box, staring blankly at the air vent.
"Captain Lu," Ling Shi immediately called Lu Tingxiao over and showed him the air vent: "Do you remember?"
"The 19-year-old kid who ran away from home was reported in the mall." Lu Tingxiao continued.
Seeing them, the young man's eyes regained some spirit. He threw himself on the air vent and pounded on the cabinet desperately. He said something hurriedly, but the cabinet blocked out most of the sound, so it sounded buzzing and unclear.
Lu Tingxiao made an OK gesture and gave the young man a reassuring smile, saying, "We have to rescue him."
