Chapter 146 The War Gradually Ends

Huaming District, northern defense line.

At the fourth line of defense, the professionals are completely invisible.

The soldiers were making final arrangements before preparing to advance their defense line.

Looking closely, human figures have begun to appear behind this line of defense.

Those are the people on the back line of defense.

They have already pushed their defense line here and are about to join forces with the combat power of this defense line.

Therefore, next, this line of defense will also move forward. With the help of professionals, it will clear out the phantom demons while cleaning up the battlefield and joining up with the people on the third line of defense.

"The camp has been reorganized, and the clearing of the front professionals is also going smoothly. If we set out now, we can meet up with the front professionals before joining the third line of defense."

An officer was reporting to Commander Duan.

"Okay." Commander Duan sat in an office that looked like a command room, nodded to the officer, and said, "If that's the case, let's pass it on and set off in ten minutes."

"Yes." The officer saluted and retreated.

Commander Duan tapped his fingers on the table of his desk, wondering what he was thinking about.

After a while, Commander Duan picked up the phone and dialed a number.

The call was connected quickly.

"I'm Gao Xu."

A familiar voice sounded on the other end of the phone.

Surprisingly, it was Gao Xu.

"It's me." Commander Duan said concisely, "I'm ready to advance the defense line."

This sentence made Gao Xu silent for a while.

He naturally understood what this meant.

"Did Xu Qianqian really not return to the defense line to ask for help?"

Gao Xu said lightly.

"I have no information about her at all." Commander Duan said, "Obviously, she has no intention of asking for help from us."

"It seems that she has already vaguely guessed that I have also made some arrangements on this side of the defense line." Gao Xu said to himself: "She didn't ask for help from you. I guess she also thinks that there is a possibility of cooperation between us, right?"

Commander Duan had absolutely no interest in Gao Xu's speculation.

He made this call just to explain one thing.

"Since the defense line is ready to advance, your Xu family's affairs have nothing to do with me from now on." Commander Duan said in a deep voice: "I will no longer help you deal with the future outstanding talents of Longyao City. Do you understand?"

When Commander Duan said this, he was obviously dissatisfied and had some hidden meaning in his words.

Gao Xu naturally knew that Commander Duan was actually very opposed to cooperating with him and setting up a scheme to murder Xu Qianqian.

This is not only because Commander Duan himself, as a soldier, has a natural aversion to this kind of dark conspiracy carried out in secret, but also because as a military commander, his nature of worrying about the country and the people has long been engraved in his bones.

In his opinion, children like Xu Qianqian who are still studying in college and have extraordinary talents and potential are important talents and combat forces in the future of Longyao City.

If Xu Qianqian can grow up successfully, she may become the pillar supporting Longyao City.

Instead of vigorously supporting and cultivating such talents, they are framed for some trivial matters. It is impossible for a soldier like Commander Duan not to feel disgusted.

But precisely because Commander Duan was a soldier, he had to cooperate with Gao Xu.

After all, the iron rule of the military is obedience.

The Xu family behind Gao Xu had already established connections with the military and asked them to cooperate.

It was because Commander Duan received orders from his superiors and a secret mission that he had to cooperate with Gao Xu and plot against Xu Qianqian.

But that’s where the matter ends.

After the defense line is advanced, Commander Duan will no longer be the only person who can make decisions on this defense line, but will meet with the commanders of other defense lines to make decisions together.

It was no longer possible to cooperate with Gao Xu and frame Xu Qianqian without telling them.

So, his mission has come to an end.

"I know." Gao Xu didn't say anything, and said indifferently: "What happens next has nothing to do with you, just do your job well."

After saying that, Gao Xu hung up the phone.

Commander Duan didn't care. He also put down the phone and let out a breath.

He looked out the window, his expression full of unhappiness.

"It's already this late, and they're still scheming and framing each other. These so-called family forces will not only bring strength to Longyao City, but also chaos."

Obviously, Commander Duan hated such things.

However, he couldn't change anything.

All he could do was obey the orders from above, do his job well, and contribute to the survival and development of Longyao City.

At the same time, in a remote old house, Gao Xu put down his mobile phone, raised his head and looked at Xu Yanyan beside him.

"The plan has completely failed." Gao Xu said directly: "There is really no way I can do anything to Xu Qianqian this time. Let's wait for the next opportunity."

"Yes." Xu Yanyan seemed to have been mentally prepared for this, and she answered calmly.

Anyway, Gao Xu is ready to take full responsibility for the failure of this mission, so let it fail.

Gao Xu, not knowing what Xu Yanyan was thinking, just continued talking.

"After you go back, ask your father to send someone to investigate Miss Qianqian." Gao Xu's eyes flickered as he said, "We must investigate who that mysterious and powerful person is and which faction he came from."

"I understand." Xu Yanyan was very concerned about this matter.

Have to pay attention.

If there really is a senior professional who does not belong to the Xu family standing behind Xu Qianqian, then it is very likely that some powerful force has cooperated with Xu Qianqian's faction.

If this really happens, they will be in big trouble.

"Although this mission failed, we were able to force out the mysterious strong man behind Miss Qianqian, so it's not completely a waste." Gao Xu said lightly: "Anyway, I will report this matter to your father in person, and you will be responsible for contacting those lost family hunters."

"Yes." Xu Yanyan nodded and asked, "What about your injury?"

Hearing this, Gao Xu twitched the corner of his mouth and sighed.

"Unfortunately, it's not healed yet."

Undoubtedly, the injuries caused by Su Ming's [Silver Arm] are still affecting Gao Xu.

"That power is really terrifying. It cannot be cured by any means. It can only be healed naturally." Gao Xu said with a sullen face: "And relying on natural healing, even for a senior hunter like me who has awakened the demonization, it still takes a long time to recover from this level of injury."

In other words, even if Gao Xu is not unable to fight, he can no longer fight as recklessly as he did in his heyday.

His fighting ability has been affected now, and even the Lin Dao, which made him famous, was cracked and almost shattered.

Therefore, Gao Xu was no longer prepared to take action.

Especially with that mysterious strong man, if he encounters him again, Gao Xu will retreat without hesitation.

Otherwise, you might really be kept by the other party.

"Remember, you must investigate his identity." Gao Xu solemnly instructed Xu Yanyan, "From his physical fitness, he has obviously not yet broken the shackles of the flesh and awakened to become a demon. He has insufficient combat experience and immature skills. Although he is skilled, he relies entirely on his physical fitness to perform combat techniques step by step. He is very likely a super genius who is young and has not experienced much in the world and does not fight often."

Gao Xu actually deduced some of Su Ming's background based on the intelligence obtained during the battle.

"If such a super genius who can compete with me and even injure me and force me to retreat with his special abilities and special senses really grows up and becomes a high-level professional like me and awakens his demonic transformation, then I will not be his opponent."

Gao Xu looked at Xu Yanyan seriously.

"If such a person really stood on Xu Qianqian's side, he would definitely be a huge threat."

"And such a genius must have a terrifying family force behind him."

"If we don't investigate the relationship between that force and Miss Qianqian, we may not be able to continue to attack her."

Gao Xu's instructions made Xu Yanyan lower her head and clench her fists.

"Remember, investigate it thoroughly."

Gao Xu threw out these words, then closed his eyes and continued to cultivate himself.

Seeing this, Xu Yanyan retreated silently.

There was a trace of unwillingness and resentment floating in his eyes.

Longyao City, downtown area.

At one of the high places here, the superior sitting in the study also received a call.

"The ambush on Xu Qianqian failed?" The superior frowned, snorted coldly, and said, "Sure enough, the people of the Xu family are all trash."

He couldn't even handle a little girl? If not a waste, what is he? "Forget it, let's just assume that the girl didn't deserve to die." The superior quickly let it go and asked, "Your identity hasn't been exposed, has it?"

In this case, the person in a higher position used the secret agents he had planted in the Xu family to let the other party facilitate this matter.

If this secret agent were to be exposed, the loss to those in higher positions would be huge.

There is no way. Although the Xu family is wealthy and powerful, they have been able to pass down to this day, so they naturally have a set of methods to deal with internal traitors.

The chess pieces planted by others in the Xu family were either too low in status to exert much influence, or were simply found out and eliminated by the Xu family. There was only one chess piece who could climb to the top and have a say and persuade the Xu family, even for this superior.

If this is accidentally exposed, it will be difficult to do anything to the Xu family.

For this reason, those in power cherish this chess piece very much.

"Your most important task right now is to hide your identity no matter what." The superior said heavily, "Even if you want to rely on Xu Qianqian's position to do something, you must first ensure your own concealment. Otherwise, even I can't save you from the Xu family, understand?"

After saying that, the superior gave a few more instructions and then hung up the phone.

"What a lucky little girl."

Thinking of Xu Qianqian's affairs, the superior shook his head and no longer paid attention.

Compared to Xu Qianqian's affairs, he cared more about the phantom demon cub.

"The people over there" had contacted him and told him that they had prevented the phantom demon cub from leaving.

The phantom demon cub has lost the chance to escape back to the Demon Prison and is currently still staying in Huaming District.

In order to get her and the bloodline of the nightmare species, the superior must make further plans and find a way to find the cub and capture it.

"Unfortunately, the war is about to end. It will not be so easy to operate secretly under the noses of the top leaders of other base cities in the future."

The superior frowned, his face full of gloom.

"It seems that we still have to cooperate with those damn underground professionals."

Thinking of this, the superior picked up the phone.

The surging undercurrent is destined not to be exposed to the sunlight.

No one knew that behind the scenes of this war, there were so many people with ulterior motives and plotting.

Maybe this is only part of it.

No matter where you are, there will always be people who are always thinking about acting secretly and in darkness.

But at least, for now, these things have nothing to do with Su Ming and others. The people who have been running around on the battlefield just to end this battle have no way of knowing. They are doing their own things, making the direction of the battle gradually clear.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon of that day, Su Ming and others were hunting outside. The professionals who were clearing out the phantom demons met up with the people who were pushing the defense line forward at the third line of defense. They gathered the combat power of the three lines of defense and advanced towards the second line of defense.

It was also at this time that the private soldiers under Xu Qianqian finally returned to her side, and she also reported the attack to the defense line.

But at this time, Gao Xu and Xu Yanyan were gone.

It is said that they withdrew from the battlefield together with the remaining hunters of the Xu family, using the excuse that they were seriously injured and unable to fight anymore.

Xu Qianqian’s crisis was thus resolved.

However, she did not get into trouble again.

Because, except for the people she thought were in her team, everyone in her team had lost contact.

Including Li Wei, his life or death is unknown now, which makes the people in the Li family furious.

In Longyao City, the Li family's power is not much less than that of the Xu family.

Now, the talented collateral branch that the family valued suddenly disappeared, and no one knew whether he was alive or dead. It was impossible for the Li family not to do something.

It is conceivable that Xu Qianqian will be harassed by the Li family next.

If the Li family knew that what happened to Li Wei was entirely caused by the vicious competition within the Xu family, then the Xu family would probably be in trouble.

In a nutshell, Xu Qianqian is safe, but the troubles surrounding her are destined not to disappear so easily.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Su Ming anymore.

Su Ming just discussed it secretly with Xu Qianqian and planned to rely on Xu Qianqian's channels to send Xiao Haier out of Huaming District.

For Su Ming, this is the only thing he really needs to pay attention to.

Then, at the third line of defense, everyone began to advance again.

The goal is to point directly to the front line.
