Chapter 162: Secret Movement
"That little girl's talent is unique, as she can use the beast's magic power without relying on the beast's organs. So, we have to find a way to bring her back."
Under the blazing sun at noon, Bing Fengqi lit a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and took a deep breath: "We can't stay in Fangting City anymore. We have to act as soon as possible and break out while we still have manpower."
On the twenty-fifth day of being trapped in Fangting City, Bing Fengqi had never felt as anxious as he did at this moment.
The remaining forces of Black Dawn in the city were gradually shrinking, and the Strategy Bureau was constantly attacking them like hyenas. Today, only the last few core teams were left.
If the "moth" was still there, Black Cinder Dawn would not have fallen into the current situation. But since the moth was defeated by the magical girl, the management rights of Fangting City's Strategy Bureau changed hands, and the whole situation was reversed in an instant.
Black Cinder Dawn, who had been carrying out his actions in a high-profile manner without caring about revealing his tracks, now had to carefully conceal his whereabouts to prevent being discovered by the magical girl.
The reason is simple. Since the magical girl can kill the "moth", it will not be difficult for her to kill them.
Moth is the King's former Ash Servant of Black Ash Dawn. He is the one closest to the core power and the one who holds the most powerful power. Even though he is not known for his combat ability among Ash Servant, it is not difficult for him to defeat Ash soldiers like them.
But now, Moth is dead. The beastmen of the Jin army under her command were also wiped out by the silk threads that fell from the sky that strange night, leaving only a few remnants hiding in Fangting City.
There weren't many beastmen among these remnants, and even if there were, they weren't very strong. In addition, they were leaderless and could not reach a cooperation, so they were eventually wiped out one by one by the Yi Strategy Bureau.
Of course, Bingfengqi and his team are an exception.
Because they were not members of the Moth from the beginning, they did not participate in the action that night.
Relying on the concealment and protection of the moths, at the peak of the Black Embers Dawn's power, there were at most three emerald armies of different origins in Fangting City at the same time: the "soldier moths" and "worker moths" belonging to the "moths"; the "soldier tentacles" and "worker tentacles" belonging to the "longhorn beetles"; and the "soldier bees" and "worker bees" belonging to the "bees".
Among them, there is no need to say much about the "Moth" Ash Army. They are all her direct subordinates, entrenched in Fangting City, and are at her disposal. The origin of the "Longniu" Ash Army is slightly different. These people are roaming around the entire Donghua Province, looking for high-quality supplies and possible "sacrifices"; as for the "Bee" Ash Army, it originated from a transaction between the bee and the moth.
The bee paid some money to get the moth to allow its people to enter her territory and take away some things he wanted. Among these "things", a girl named Bai Jingxuan was mentioned.
Bing Fengqi became the executor of this mission.
As one of the few Jinjun who reached the Pupa level under Feng, he came to Fangting City a month ago. However, after arriving in this city, they found that the plan had been ruined by the "Longniu" Jinjun who showed up halfway; they stopped the action helplessly, and when they were still thinking about the next plan, Moth was killed by the magic girl again.
This made Bing Fengqi reflect on whether he should have his fortune told before going out.
Unfortunately, it is too late to think of this now. The situation changed so suddenly that they had no time to react and were trapped here.
"It's easy for you to say it, and you want to take her away, but that little girl is now a magical girl. The mad dog Bingchu San has alerted the enemy and brought things to this point. It will be difficult for us to continue our actions."
Beside Soldier Bee 7, Soldier Bee 25 was squatting in the corner, staring into space. "If I can really get out of this damn place, I will definitely file a complaint against 'Tian Niu' and ask him how he led his subordinates."
"Don't think about these useless things now, think about how to break through."
Exhaling a puff of white smoke from his nose, Bingfeng Qi glanced at him and said, "I don't know what new equipment the Yi Ce Bureau has recently installed. Some beastmen have already been captured by them. If this continues, we won't be able to hide for long until all of Moth's troops are brought to justice."
These days, under several rounds of encirclement and pursuit by the Yi Ce Bureau, they fought and retreated, constantly shrinking the scope of their actions. In the end, they could only hide in a small private house.
Although they had controlled the original owner of the house and asked him to provide them with supplies to survive, this was not a long-term solution. Such a large group of people would not leave any traces even if they were completely still.
"Let's go to another place. Fangting City is so big that we can fight a guerrilla war with them."
Bingfeng 25 was obviously quite pessimistic about the "breakout": "Putting all the manpower into the breakout, and even wanting to take a magical girl with you, we might end up attracting a flower-level monster... Are you sure you're not talking in your sleep?"
"I am sure."
Bing Fengqi's face was calm. "It's meaningless to just break out. If we can't bring back that little girl, we'll die anyway. And this may be our last chance. If we delay any further, it will probably become increasingly difficult to escape."
"Why?" Soldier Bee 25 looked surprised.
"Because the moth is no longer here, this is the magical girl's territory."
Bing Feng Qi pointed out the window and said, "Just like flowers blooming in the wild, once there is one, there will be another. The communication between magical girls will lead to more and more magical girls here."
"...Tsk, what a hassle."
"Yeah, it's really troublesome."
Bing Feng Qi seemed to be mumbling to himself, "So the only time we have to leave is now."
"Do you have a solution?"
“Just thought of it.”
"What is the solution?"
"hostage."
Bingfeng Qi lowered his head again: "After investigation by the secret agents of the Strategy Bureau, their new director seems to have a close relationship with the magical girl. The information left by the moth shows that he has some connection with the blue flower level. Our mission target also seems to have a very close relationship with him."
"…So you plan to kidnap the Director of the Strategy Bureau?"
Soldier Bee 25 looked at him as if he were a madman: "At this critical moment? Aren't you afraid that the blue monster will tear you apart alive?"
"So I plan to 'kidnap' our mission target."
Bingfeng 7 looked at Bingfeng 25 as if he was looking at a fool. "We are using her life to threaten the director of the Strategy Bureau, pretending to ask for something, and using him to make that blue flower-level player hesitate. But in fact, we are just pretending to threaten, what we really need is the 'hostage'. After misleading their actions, we can find a chance to escape."
"I don't think kidnapping a magical girl is a better idea. Isn't there a safer way?"
"She's just a Bud-level magical girl. If you don't want to kidnap her, your only remaining option is to kill the blue Flower-level one first."
Bing Fengqi threw the remaining half of his cigarette onto the ground and stamped out the butt with his foot: "Which one do you think is more feasible?"
"…Then let's kidnap that little girl."
Bingfeng 25 watched him stamp out the cigarette butt and said, "What next? How do you kidnap someone? How do you escape after you've kidnapped someone?"
"There are still two hidden players in the Strategy Bureau. Because they have not taken action before, they have not been caught yet."
Bing Fengqi paced around the room with his hands behind his back: "All the other hidden pieces have been pulled out, so these two hidden pieces will definitely be pulled out after they are used. We only have one chance left."
"First, we need a feint to the east and attack in the west. As you said, we need to split our forces into two groups. The main force will wait for our mission target, that little girl; the remaining personnel will pretend to attack the director of the Strategy Bureau. It would be best if there is a beastman above the Snake level among them, so as to force the other magical girls to support the Strategy Bureau first."
"After that, we caught the little girl and went to negotiate with the director of the Strategy Bureau: If you want to save her life, you have to return the Beast Source that Moth left behind, and stop tracking and encircling us until the exchange conditions are met."
"Finally, have the hidden man perform some simple operations on the shift schedule of the Strategy Bureau, leaving us a gap of about 5 minutes, so that we can directly climb over the protection net outside the city and escape through the wasteland."
"Huh? Walking through the wilderness?"
Soldier Bee 25's voice suddenly rose several octaves: "Are you kidding me? What's the difference between this and going to die?"
"If I'm still alive by then, we'll have enough to survive in the wilderness."
Bingfengqi's voice was calm, yet hoarse with a hint of frightening madness: "They won't let us board the landship. Our only way to survive is to cross the wasteland in the flesh."
"What if we die in the wilderness?"
Soldier Bee 25 swallowed his saliva and said, "We have to take the target with us. If we die, she will also die in the wilderness. By then, the boss will probably retrieve our souls and refine them into feed."
"So I will inform the boss before fleeing into the wilderness and ask him to send someone to the wilderness to pick us up."
Bing Fengqi stood at the window of the house and said, "If we die, we just need to leave a little living space for the little girl before we die. The boss's people will take her away."
His words silenced Soldier Bee 25.
The two of them are both under Feng's command, and they can be considered a pair of comrades-in-arms with a long history of cooperation. He is very clear about Bing Fengqi's character and abilities, and this seems to be their last choice at the moment.
There seemed to be no need to make a choice: should he just stay in Fangting City in such a cowardly way, waiting to die like a frog in warm water; or should he fight madly with his last bit of strength to fight for the only way to survive?
Everyone who joins Black Dawn has some kind of desire and pursuit in mind, and for this pursuit, life is often just a bargaining chip.
Gambling is what each of them has been doing since they embarked on this path.
"I don't know whether to praise you as a smart madman or a crazy smart man."
He leaned against the wall again: "You always manage to convince me with your twisted logic. This time is no exception. You win."
"I just want to survive."
Soldier Bee Seven looked indifferent: "Any creature will burst out with wisdom when it is trying to survive. Even wild beasts are like this, let alone us humans."
"So when do we start?"
Soldier Bee 25 shook his head, obviously not intending to pay attention to his muttering: "Since you have launched this plan, I think you have already set a time."
"In two days."
Soldier Feng Qi turned his head from the window and said: "We need to guide them a little bit, trick the moth's troops out and feed them to the Strategy Bureau, so as to create an opportunity to capture the mission target."
"That means you're going to die in two days. You'll have to have a good meal before you're executed."
Soldier Bee 25 rubbed his stomach and said, "Come to think of it, our people have been living frugally for several days. The edibles in this house have long been eaten up. Why hasn't the owner sent us new supplies yet?"
"There won't be any new supplies." Bing Fengqi walked back into the house.
"Why?"
“Because there is no longer an owner.”
Pointing to the living room not far away, with his fingertips pointing at several black plastic bags placed in the corner, Bingfeng Qi said indifferently: "Yesterday I heard their cell phones ringing, and I suspected someone was trying to call the police, so I ended their mission early."
"Ah, no wonder."
Soldier Bee 25 nodded: "I was wondering why there is always a scent in the living room, which makes my animal heart stir."
"It just so happens that the pigs can play their due value after they die."
Bing Fengqi took out another cigarette from his pocket, put it between his lips, and lit the lighter. The light of the lighter shone through his palm, and the flickering light was reflected in his dark and empty eyes: "This way, we don't need to look for other supplies in the next two days."
…
…
Lin Yun returned to the Yi Ce Bureau alone.
In the end, he still did not agree to Emerald's "product trial", even though the other party lowered the conditions again and again, and finally changed it from taking off clothes to taking off socks.
Emerald claimed that her previous actions were only for the purpose of collecting Delphinium's ability data, and now she was taking off her socks just to make it closer to the skin for easier inspection, but Delphinium always felt that there was something fishy about it, so she declined and left the research institute.
Of course, regarding her own injury, Delphinium did not say anything too decisive, but just replied "I'll continue to think about it."
As soon as he returned to the Strategy Bureau, Tian Sheng, who had been waiting outside the door, caught up with him. He followed Lin Yun into the director's office and handed over the documents in his hand with ease:
"Director, this is our operational briefing for the past few days."
Lin Yun took the document and sat down at his desk. He flipped through it briefly and grasped the key points: "Two beastmen were captured? So quickly?"
"It's all thanks to the magic weapons."
Tian Sheng scratched the back of his head and said, "Our captain has been praising your great achievements these days. I have also experienced it myself and I feel that the effectiveness of this equipment is really too advanced."
"Inanimate objects are just inanimate objects. Weapons ultimately depend on the person who uses them. If you use weapons to defeat the enemy, that's your credit. You don't need to flatter me."
Lin Yun waved his hand lightly, not accepting the flattery from afar: "It seems that your team has made the greatest contribution in the Special Operations Department. What are your needs and plans for the future?"
"Oh, about that. Actually, our captain asked me to submit an application for you."
Tian Sheng scratched his head and handed over another document in his hand: "According to the investigation feedback from other teams, there seems to be traces of people from Black Dawn hiding in a residential area in Lixing District. He wants to apply for search authorization there."
"Residential? Are you sure?"
Lin Yun did not doubt him and took the document from Tian Sheng. He scanned the paper and slowly read the content printed on it: - "The name of the community is... 'Lakeside Spring'?"
