"Emergency assembly!"
At three o'clock in the morning, everyone heard Lin Cuidi's voice, immediately jumped out of bed, put on their weapons and equipment, and ran to the front of the conference room.
Apart from the two instructors who were already on duty and Captain Lin Cuidi, the other six instructors and Chang Shan and his group of five arrived here in a very short time.
Lin Cuidi glanced at the time; everyone had assembled within half a minute. Excellent.
"The other action teams have sent a message that there is an anomaly in our location that needs to be explored. The target location has been sent to everyone's map. This operation requires us to go deep into the ruins of a small country that was conquered by the demons long ago. According to the intelligence from the Southern Military Region in the past, it should be a no-man's land."
But now something is amiss, and we must get there before sunrise, we absolutely must arrive before dawn.
If it's a person or an object, arrest it and take it away.
Other details will be provided on our radio channel.
The squad's emergency communication network is not to be used unless absolutely necessary. Does everyone understand?
"clear!"
"Very good, let's begin the operation."
Target! The once-borderland kingdom of White Sleep.
At Lin Cuidi's command, the vanguard four-person instructor team took the lead, followed by Lin Cuidi leading Bu Xiaosai and his five companions, along with the remaining four instructors.
This was yet another long journey.
Without special training, Liu Lang and his men simply couldn't have endured such a strenuous march.
They need to travel thousands of miles in just four hours to reach the designated location for investigation, hoping to find something valuable in one go.
...
Has the Southern Military Region made any moves recently?
"The report states that everything remains the same as usual."
"Great, it's best that no one's bothering us. Is there any other news?"
"No... Oh right! Our people saw members of the Ordinary Organization in the White Sleep Kingdom."
What?
Zhiying frowned as she looked at the Dark Scythe intelligence officer in front of her.
Those despicable guys made Dark Scythe suffer twice, and their ability to harm innocent bystanders is truly amazing. How come they've appeared in White Sleep Kingdom again now?
The White Sleep Kingdom was once a branch base for experiments conducted by the Dark Scythe organization. Although it has been mostly cleared out, it remains a restricted area for the Dark Scythe.
Unless absolutely necessary, do not allow personnel from the Dragon Kingdom Military Region to enter and search for clues. Once they come out, kill them quickly and do not let a single one escape.
Just yesterday, he went to the research institute to see the laboratory's results.
It will be finished soon, in less than a month, and they cannot afford any accidents during this time.
"Have the Ordinary Organization already sent people to follow us?"
"The report says we've lost track of our people."
waste!
Zhiying cursed inwardly, but still sent a message to his boss.
Suddenly, a holographic phantom appeared in front of them, its back to Zhiying.
"Weaving Shadow...what message requires a face-to-face delivery?"
"Reporting to Lord Poison Dragon, this is what happened..."
After Zhiying's explanation, Poison Dragon finally turned around and squinted at Zhiying.
"So, you've concluded that the Ordinary Organization is making moves again, and that it might even affect our experiments, right?"
"That's right. It's better to believe it than not. The people who can shake off our Dark Scythe are definitely not ordinary ability users. They might even be ordinary high-ranking members."
"I will urge the experiment to proceed more quickly later, but I will also need to request your support, sir. After all, I am only a mere early-stage Seven Star cultivator, and I am hardly able to handle this alone."
"Okay, I'll be back after I finish dealing with things in Zhongzhou. The rest of you will head to the research institute shortly. Remember, even if you all die in battle, you must protect Chen Tong!"
"Yes, Lord Poison Dragon!"
As Zhiying watched the disappearing holographic projection, she stood up from her kneeling position.
Great, the support is on its way, and his judgment has been almost always correct. Hopefully, everything will go smoothly from here on out.
On the other side, Lin Cuidi and his group encountered a small group of wandering magical beasts on the way. After spending some time clearing them out, they finally arrived at the location of the White Sleep Kingdom at 6:30 in the morning.
The dilapidated city gate was half-collapsed, with deep claw marks still remaining on the thick wooden planks. The city wall next to the gate had long since collapsed, leaving only a few broken stone pillars standing alone.
Upon entering, one finds the walls riddled with cracks, the roof collapsed, and rubble and stones scattered everywhere.
Everything here testifies to the tragic fate of the White Sleeping Kingdom after it was invaded by the demon race. This is the tragedy of small countries; even in the era of supernatural powers, they cannot avoid these dangers.
Dust and debris rose in the wind. Liu Lang reached out and gently touched a crumbling wall beside him. The sensation from his fingertips made him frown slightly. The wall was already extremely fragile; with just a little force, it would be pierced through like paper.
"Don't touch these things, keep moving forward."
The instructors near Liulang stopped him. They were getting closer to their destination, and apart from encountering a small group of magical beasts on the way, there were no other unexpected events. They should keep up the good work and avoid trouble.
But Liu Lang also saw a tattered rag doll in the ruins. The doll's face was covered in dust, but you could still vaguely see how it had once been cherished by a child.
"Even children couldn't escape it?"
Liu Lang's voice was low and tinged with anger. The instructor beside him glanced at the scene casually, seemingly used to such situations, and said nothing.
