Liu Kai was incredibly fast.
They quickly placed all 12 800-gram remote-controlled bombs in hidden corners of various buildings in the Yasukuni Shrine.
Of course, to avoid alerting the enemy, he did not intend to detonate it now.
After doing all this, he quickly caught up with Ouyang Wenlian, who hadn't gone far.
Upon seeing Liu Kai arrive, a smile appeared on Ouyang Wenlian's face.
"This time you're going to go down in history. You've personally destroyed the Yasukuni Shrine, and many Chinese people will see you as a hero."
Liu Kai waved his hand dismissively: "I just don't like this place. Besides, this mission won't be made public, so no one will know that I did it."
Ouyang Wenlian smiled without saying a word.
The authorities will certainly not publicly acknowledge the details of the mission, but secrets never stay hidden forever.
Some rumors will eventually become known to the public.
The two stopped communicating.
Liu Kai led the way as usual, avoiding numerous surveillance cameras and quickly heading towards the palace.
Throughout the journey, Ouyang Wenlian kept a close eye on the machine that made human skin masks, giving him no chance to touch it.
But Liu Kai wasn't in a hurry; there were plenty of opportunities ahead.
5:30 a.m.
The two, who had been traveling at a rapid pace, finally arrived at the west side of the Japanese Imperial Palace and lay in ambush.
In late autumn, the sun rises late, and with thick clouds covering the sky, the entire earth remains dark and gloomy.
Ahead lies the frozen moat of the Japanese Imperial Palace, known as the "Hanzo Moat".
Behind the moat is the west gate of the palace, "Hanzo Gate".
The area in front of the "Hanzang Gate" was brightly lit.
Even though it was the time when humans were most tired, the guards were not sleepy at all.
They diligently patrolled back and forth along the palace walls.
Every so often there is a sturdy watchtower, its searchlights constantly scanning the surroundings for any movement.
There are also 6 Type 15 light tanks, 4 armored infantry vehicles, 1 radar vehicle, and 3 air defense vehicles parked in front of the gate.
This formation could be described as having "a guard every five steps and a sentry every ten steps" without being an exaggeration.
The troop strength is far superior to the defenses of the Fenghai City nuclear power plant that Liu Kai previously infiltrated.
Someone who didn't know better might think this was the main gate of the palace.
The western side of the Imperial Palace originally belonged to the Imperial Garden, which was also densely wooded like the Yasukuni Shrine and Meiji Shrine.
That is why Liu Kai chose this place as the meeting point.
But now it seems he clearly underestimated the strength of the defenses here.
Ouyang Wenlian's face turned ashen.
If the West Gate is like this, the other gates are probably even worse.
This trip is dangerous.
But this was just his guess; Liu Kai, however, seemed completely unconcerned.
They decisively changed the location of the rendezvous point to the ground floor of a building half a block away from the West Gate.
Although he didn't know how Liu Kai planned to infiltrate, Ouyang Wenlian accepted the suggestion to change the rendezvous point.
The two quickly reached an agreement and parted ways there.
Seeing Ouyang Wenlian slowly disappear into the night, Liu Kai didn't linger.
It moved at an incredible speed, leaving a trail of afterimages almost invisible to the naked eye, and then rushed toward the palace after choosing its position.
Liu Kai's goal has always been clear, and he does not intend to delay for too long.
Under the cover of darkness, they provide location information through "scanning".
It was incredibly clever and precise; they managed to find the best route through a tight defense.
Upon reaching the towering electric fence, the figure vanished like a ghost with a whooshing sound.
They also appeared at the same time under the dense canopy of a tree in the palace garden.
Upon entering the palace, the number of troops stationed there noticeably increased, as did the number of sentries, both overt and covert.
It even has a large number of night vision monitoring and motion warning devices installed.
The elite squad, armed with firearms, patrols in shifts around the clock without stopping for a moment.
However, seemingly to save face for the Japanese Imperial Family, the original layout of the Imperial Palace has been maintained.
Not a single tree in the dense artificial forest was cut down.
The dense tree canopy exposed by the ice layer served as perfect cover for Liu Kai's continuous stealth movement.
The entire palace covers an area that is roughly circular, with a radius of no more than 1 kilometer.
It can be easily and comprehensively "scanned".
The location of the underground refuge bunker then appeared in Liu Kai's mind.
Its entrance is neither located in the largest hall in the center of the palace, "Chōwa-den," nor in the "Imperial Palace Residence" in the garden.
Instead, it is located in an inconspicuous low-rise building between the two.
But Liu Kai was stunned when he saw the building buried 30 meters underground.
This isn't a shelter at all; it's practically another underground palace!
Although the area is only half the size of the ground palace, it has a three-story structure.
Moreover, there are no courtyard landscapes; the various areas are closely connected yet independent of each other.
Its practicality is actually superior.
This underground palace has now been converted into a military base.
The facility includes soldiers' living quarters, cells, ammunition depots, medical areas, and command centers.
The 3-meter-thick high-grade concrete is mixed with steel fibers and interspersed with dense high-strength steel bars.
Its standards are comparable to those of the provincial military base where Yang Hongchang is located, and far exceed those of Liu Kai's shelter in the Lishiquyuan community.
Just as Ouyang Wenlian thought, it was completely impossible to sneak into such a place through blind spots.
Furthermore, the guards lurking around the entrance and the multiple identity verification processes raise the level of security several notches.
Unfortunately, these Japanese devils were facing a cheater.
At this moment, Liu Kai had accurately pinpointed the location where Ouyang Zhicheng and other experts were being held under house arrest: the third basement level.
