Chapter 17 Mountain Village Operation (Final)
Upon hearing this, Su Qian's eyes turned bloodshot as he stared intently at the masked man who had suddenly appeared beside him. He shouted, "I don't want to give up either! But I have no other choice. Do you have a way?"
The masked man smiled slightly and said, "Of course I have a way, but I don't know if you have the courage to try?"
After listening, Su Qian calmed down and slowly said, "I understand that there is no such thing as a free lunch, but I can't care about that anymore. As long as I can get my revenge, I'm willing to give you anything you want, even my life."
The masked man stared intently into Su Qian's eyes and said in a seductive tone, "I don't need your life. I just need you to do one thing for me, and I can give you the power to destroy the Orphnoch. How about it? Isn't this a good deal?"
Su Qian looked at the masked man, a hint of madness gradually appearing in his eyes, and answered without hesitation, "It is indeed a good deal, I agree."
Without warning, the masked man took out a briefcase from thin air and handed it directly to Su Qian.
Then, he gently tapped Su Qian's forehead with his finger, and disappeared without a trace the next moment, leaving only a voice echoing in Su Qian's mind: "The contents of the box are what you need. The method of use has been imprinted in your mind. Make good use of it."
Su Qian gripped the box tightly in his hands, closed his eyes, and began to read the memories in his mind.
Just a moment later, Su Qian suddenly opened his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said viciously, "All Orphnochs deserve to die! I will never let a single Orphnoch go!" With that, he picked up the box and strode resolutely toward the unknown.
At the same time, Zhao Hong removed his mask, stood on the bridge, and silently watched everything.
……
Meanwhile, the two Yu brothers were hiding the injured Chen Yexi in a cave on the edge of a cliff. They had discovered the cave while collecting herbs together, and it was very well hidden.
Since entering the cave, they have been hiding here for three whole days. Chen Yexi's injuries have healed quickly, and now he is able to move around on his own without needing anyone's help or care.
In the past few days, the three of them often heard the roar of helicopters coming from afar, which made them realize that even though the cave was in a remote location, it was not an absolutely safe place.
After some discussion, they decided to escape the forest under the cover of night.
Chen Yexi said with a serious expression, "The three of us definitely can't stay in Harbin any longer. We have to think of other ways to see if we can hide in another city to avoid trouble for a while."
Upon hearing this, the two Yu brothers fell into deep thought. They understood that if they stayed put, they would be discovered by the Special Affairs Bureau sooner or later, making it even harder to escape.
After a moment, Yu Li broke the silence first. He remembered a friend he had met when he was selling medicinal herbs in the city. This friend lived in Qiqihar and ran a ranch. The ranch was far from the city and relatively safe, making it suitable for short-term hiding.
Yu Li believed that Qiqihar was far away and they didn't need to go down the mountain. They could reach it by simply traversing the depths of this mountain range. Furthermore, there was no need to worry about a search by the Special Affairs Bureau, as the mountain range near Qiqihar was still a primeval forest, and no matter how many people the Special Affairs Bureau had, they would not be able to find them.
Yu Li's suggestion resonated with the other two, who felt it was a viable option.
So the three of them began to develop a detailed plan.
In the midst of tense discussions, time slipped away unnoticed, and night gradually fell. They knew the moment of action was approaching...
The three of them then wiped away most of the traces inside the cave and, under the cover of night, quickly ran deeper into the forest.
As expected, about an hour after they left, the helicopter spotted the cave. Ma Mingzhe led more than ten members of the Leo Cavalry Squad to the cave and searched for a while before reaching a conclusion.
Ma Mingzhe said to everyone, "Chen Yexi and the other two stayed in this cave, and they shouldn't have been gone for long. Do you think they will escape down the mountain or plunge into the deep mountains?"
After a moment of thought, Zhao Kai replied first: "There are a lot of checkpoints set up by our Special Affairs Bureau and Inspection Division at the foot of the mountain. They couldn't possibly pass through silently. If I were them, I would definitely escape deeper into the mountains."
Liu Ming added, "I think Zhao Kai is right. The map shows that there is a large primeval forest further in from here. As long as they successfully escape into it, no matter how many of us there are, we won't be able to do anything."
At that moment, as if to confirm their suspicions, Ma Mingzhe's watch began to vibrate.
Looking up, Ma Mingzhe said to everyone with an unsurprised expression, "We just received information from the Leo cavalry and action team guarding the edge of the mountain range. Chen Yexi and the Yu brothers have fled into the depths of the primeval forest under their fire."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Kai hurriedly asked, "Captain Ma, should we still give chase?"
"Forget it, there are no resources or signal in the primeval forest, so even if we chase after them, it won't be of much use. Besides, the situation in Harbin doesn't allow us to stay away for too long."
Alright, let's report Chen Yexi and the other two's information to the Special Operations Bureau headquarters in the capital, and have headquarters notify the Special Operations Bureaus in the surrounding cities of Eastern Province to be on alert. That's all we can do. Everyone's been exhausted these past few days. Take the wounded, clean up the scene, and call it a day!"
After giving the order, Ma Mingzhe turned around and led everyone onto the helicopter, leaving behind only a few fallen trees to tell the story that had happened there.
……
The capital city, the headquarters building of the Special Affairs Bureau.
After taking the Kaixa armor users to Hong Tao for arrangements, Zheng Lao did not go home to rest for the past few days. Instead, he stayed in his office at the Special Affairs Bureau, processing reports from various places.
Just as he opened the recent report submitted by Harbin City regarding the handling of Orphino, his secretary knocked on the door and came in carrying a small box, saying, "Mr. Zheng, it's time for your medicine. Your wife specifically asked me to watch you take it."
Old Zheng replied with a smile, "This old man has to be supervised like a child just to take his medicine. Alright, put the medicine aside, I'll take it after I finish reading this report."
Upon seeing this, the secretary hurriedly replied, "That won't do. Old Master Qin repeatedly told me to make sure you take your medicine. She said you're always forgetting when you're busy, and if you don't take your medicine on time, she'll cause me trouble."
Seeing that his secretary had already said all that, Old Zheng had no choice but to put down the report, pick up the medicine next to him, put it in his mouth, take a sip of water to swallow the medicine, and then pick up the report again to read it.
At this moment, Mr. Zheng noticed his secretary's hesitant expression and looked up, asking, "Is there something else you need to say while standing here?"
Seeing that Old Master Zheng was asking, the secretary couldn't hide it any longer and said directly, "Old Master Qin asked me about your grandson Zheng Chongshan yesterday. Although I brushed it off, it will eventually be discovered. Are we really not going to tell her?"
After a moment of silence, Old Zheng said, "There's no need to tell her. She hasn't been feeling well lately, and knowing would only cause her more trouble. It won't do her any good. Let it be."
After listening, the secretary remained silent and turned to leave the office, but Old Zheng suddenly said, "Go to the research department and call Dr. Hong Tao over. Tell him that it's time for Kaixa to be put into practice."
The secretary nodded, closed the office door, and walked towards the research building.
Mr. Zheng sat in his office, staring intently at a photo of himself with a young man in military uniform.
