Finding Captain Qian's two henchmen wouldn't be easy, and Xu Neng had already decided that the unfinished building project was definitely not something to be mentioned.
Once Captain Qian notices the unfinished building, it will inevitably pique his interest and bring endless trouble.
So, how do we find these two people?
Or, finding just one person would be enough.
Xu Neng thought for a while and made a decision:
"Captain Qian, I've come to ask to borrow someone from you."
After hearing this, Captain Qian's eyes darted around. Hu Tianhao was currently unconscious, and Shen Qingshan was watching him closely. They might not be able to wake him up at all.
Although he was on Shen Qingshan's side, he had experienced Xu Neng's methods firsthand, and this man was definitely no less capable than Shen Qingshan!
It's really hard to say who will ultimately become the next leader.
Now that Xu Neng has come to borrow people, this is a good opportunity to do him a favor and secretly "have it both ways." No matter who comes to power, he'll be secure.
"It's like the heavens are helping me, hahaha..."
Having analyzed this relationship, Captain Qian became extremely attentive, his old face beaming with smiles:
"Commander Xu, given our relationship, there's no need to talk about borrowing. Please use all the people here as you wish!"
Captain Qian seemed to remember something and continued:
"However, please keep this a secret, Commander Xu. After all... as you know, I am Shen Qingshan's man, and it wouldn't be good if he found out..."
Xu Neng's tone softened for once:
"That's natural."
Then, Captain Qian called over all his men, forty or fifty of them filling the space, and ordered them to line up neatly, waiting for Xu Neng to choose.
Xu Neng's gaze swept across the area and immediately focused on the tall apostle:
"Let's go with him. He seems quite capable."
"Wang Qiang, step forward!" Captain Qian shouted.
"You just follow Commander Xu and complete the mission well. If you do a good job, you'll get credit, understand?"
Wang Qiang glanced furtively at Xu Neng, a hint of worry in his heart, but dared not show it on his face, and replied:
"yes."
Throughout the journey, Wang Qiang was filled with unease. The moment he saw Commander Xu, he had guessed that this matter was related to the unfinished building project.
Fortunately, I didn't say anything and didn't mention it to anyone, otherwise, if he had come looking for me with all the questions, I would have been in real trouble.
Xu Neng led Wang Qiang to the reception room, avoiding Xu Huan and Xiao Gao at their residence, and went straight to the point:
Do you know why I'm looking for you?
"Know."
Xu Neng thought to himself: This person is quite alert; he probably hasn't leaked the information yet.
"Then tell me, why did I come to you?"
"I haven't mentioned the unfinished building to anyone, Commander Xu, please rest assured!"
"Well, there's something else I want to ask you, and you can't hide it from me. How did you discover the anomaly in the unfinished building the day before?"
Wang Qiang immediately recounted the entire story...
Xu Neng frowned: So that's where the hidden danger was!
Looks like I'll have to have a good chat with this "neighbor" when I go to the unfinished building tomorrow!
Xu Neng looked at Wang Qiang and asked in a cold voice:
"How did you know there were supplies upstairs, and why did you make another trip there the next day?"
“We found the ice all over the ground suspicious, so we wanted to try to find out what was going on.”
Xu Neng understood that the ice could indeed prevent people from going up, but it would also arouse suspicion. However, even if the two of them did go up, they would not be able to discover the secret of the top floor, because apart from Xiao Liu, no one else could determine whether it was the top floor or not.
Thinking of this, Xu Neng's eyes darkened slightly; Xiao Liu could not stay any longer.
But Wang Qiang, the man in front of him, was somewhat intelligent. Smart people are often difficult to control, so Xu Neng decided to intimidate him again:
"Our operation is an internal secret. It's normal for you to be suspected because of your presence at the scene. Perhaps, as you say, it's all just a coincidence. But! If top-level secrets are leaked, the sacrificial ceremony might actually require two people to be sacrificed!"
"Yes, I would rather die than reveal it!"
Wang Qiang was about to cry. This wasn't a meritorious service; it was a matter of life and death.
"Your little brother's life is in your hands, I don't need to remind you again, do I?"
"Yes...yes..."
During this conversation, Wang Qiang's undergarments were soaked with sweat...
Fortunately, the conversation ended quickly, and Xu waved for him to leave:
"You'll stay with my team for two days."
"yes."
Wang Qiang retreated, his legs unable to walk properly...
Xu Neng sat alone on the sofa. With so many events happening in quick succession, he was extremely worried about Wang Feifei's safety.
Xiao Liu is currently on death row, so there's nothing to fear.
However, this sudden "neighbor incident" was truly unexpected and impossible to guard against. The thought that Wang Feifei was in constant danger made him unable to feel at ease.
Xu Neng suddenly remembered that night when Wang Feifei went to rescue Chen Nian all by herself, she had a "hand grenade" in her bag!
This silly girl doesn't even have a decent weapon.
What if something really goes wrong with this thing that "hurts the enemy a thousand while harming yourself eight hundred"?
Thinking of this, Xu Neng couldn't sit still any longer. Tonight, he would prepare and choose a suitable "gift" for her.
It has to be said that the identity of "Level One Apostle" is very useful. Xu Neng was able to enter the highest-level warehouse without any obstacles.
This contains the most scarce resources in the "Frost Society," most of which were stockpiled by Xiao Liu in advance. It was with these things that he obtained the identity of "Prophet."
Xu Neng looked at the medicines, polar suits, sleds, and sled equipment in the warehouse...
Which one should I choose?
First and foremost, travel gear was essential. Xu Neng chose an all-white polar suit and sled equipment: a white hat, white shoes, white glasses...
Fully armed, their all-white attire allows them to blend completely into the environment and remain undetected.
Which offensive weapon should I choose?
Guns? There are only two in the entire base, and they're too loud and would attract attention. Most importantly, they're unusable for training, so they're basically useless for Wang Feifei. Pass!
Cold weapons? They require too much strength and agility, and can only be used for close combat. With her delicate and frail appearance, wielding a knife would be too "spectacular." She would probably hurt herself most of the time. Xu Neng couldn't help but laugh out loud. Pass!
Xu Neng inspected them row by row, and finally his gaze fell on a row of crossbows, about a dozen of them, all of the latest models.
He picked out the smallest crossbow, stroking its texture. The workmanship was exquisite, with beautiful patterns carved on the handle and the brand and place of origin engraved in a hidden place. It was made in Germany.
Hmm, Xu picked it up and held it in his hand. The weight was just right; it was a bit light for a man, but just right for a woman.
He raised his hand, aimed at the crossbow, and fired three arrows at the rope hanging from the wall in the distance. The rope broke into three pieces.
"Not bad, long-range attacks are no problem, it's a professional-grade crossbow, and the three-round burst is also very accurate."
Moreover, training can be done at home, so Wang Feifei won't get bored. More practice will always improve her accuracy.
The best and most important thing is that, unlike guns, it doesn't require bullets; arrows can be reused.
Xu Neng stroked the crossbow with obvious affection; she would probably really like it...
