The dark clouds are like restless giant beasts, slowly gathering over the city, changing into various shapes.
The sun is often blocked, the sky is bright and dark, and cloudy and sunny.
In the suburbs, in an inconspicuous house.
Behind a window on the third floor, Telescope's lens flashed a faint light, facing the direction not far away.
From the field of view, the white brand Home of Morning Light looks a little old, and the handwriting is also a little faded.
Within the high courtyard walls, you can clearly see the innocent smiling faces.
Children were chasing and playing on the lawn, or lining up to receive items.
There were also some adults in casual clothes walking among them, obviously caring people who came to visit the orphans on weekends.
The camera moved slightly and locked onto a figure.
He was a man with an ordinary face and slightly pale skin.
He was handing a beautifully wrapped gift into the hands of Little Girl who was wearing braids with a smile.
After handing out the gifts, the man knelt down again and played patiently with the children, with a smile on his face.
The kind of patience and care that comes from the heart does not seem to be fake at all.
"It's hard to imagine that this guy actually has the blood of hundreds of people on his hands. He is a demon in human skin..."
The man holding Telescope whispered to himself.
"Haha."
A sturdy man walked up to him and grinned when he heard this, showing his white teeth:
"A Jie, you have been in Noah for several years. Have you seen too many perverts and monsters?"
A Jie put down Telescope and rubbed his sore eyes.
"Brother Yong, to be honest, I have never seen anyone as capable of killing as him and with such cruel methods."
He paused, and some words remained unsaid after all.
You know, the last Special Action Squad sent by Noah Organization was completely wiped out by the opponent.
Even their heads and heads were missing, and they were discarded as garbage in Well Cave.
The strong man patted A Jie on the shoulder and said:
"Don't be too nervous. The target of this operation is indeed very difficult, but the superiors also attach great importance to it. They have sent so many experts here, and even Minister Luo is personally supervising the operation."
"So, even if the sky falls, there will still be tall people who bear it first, and it won't be the turn of us little characters to worry about it."
While talking, he raised his head and glanced out the window a few times.
I saw more and more clouds gathering in the sky, almost covering half of the sky.
"This damn weather, it's still going to be Sun in the morning, and it's probably going to rain heavily again in the evening."
He shook his head slightly, seemingly helpless that he might encounter bad weather during the operation.
"Brother Yong, the rain is actually quite nice."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the room picked up the conversation abruptly.
"It's just convenient for us to do things, and it's easier to hide our whereabouts without being discovered by the police."
A lean man sat on the ground, slowly assembling a special-shaped sniper rifle in his hand.
The room used as a temporary base was poorly furnished and had a musty smell that had not been inhabited for a long time.
In addition to the three of them, there were three other members who were silently distributed throughout the room.
They were all wearing inconspicuous tight-fitting casual clothes, but their bulging waists and the inadvertent metallic luster on their wrists or ankles showed that they were fully armed.
Pistol, Tactical Knife, Special Ammunition, these deadly tools are quietly dormant at this moment, waiting for the moment to drink blood.
The strong man called "Brother Yong", named He Yong, is the leader of this action team in this room.
In the air, a trace of vague tension and chill quietly condensed.
Boom, boom, boom.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Almost at the same moment, the expressions on the faces of Brother Yong and A Jie suddenly converged, and their eyes became alert and sharp.
The other four people in the room, who were busy or resting, also stopped moving for an instant.
Their bodies tensed slightly and their eyes intertwined, conveying information silently.
One of them quickly stood up and came to the door with light steps without making any sound.
He did not open the door immediately, but first went to the peephole and carefully looked out.
In just a few seconds, a hint of surprise appeared on the man's face, and then he turned to look at Brother Yong, mouthing silently to ask for instructions:
"It's Xu Hao over there at Ma Biao."
He Yong raised his eyebrows slightly, then nodded to him and gestured to open the door.
Crunch--
The old wooden door was slowly opened with a gap.
Outside the door, the smiling face of Xu Hao appeared.
He was carrying two heavy large plastic bags in each hand, filled with packed lunches.
"Brothers, thank you for your hard work. You haven't eaten yet?"
Xu Hao's tone was enthusiastic, as if he came to express condolences to his hard-working colleagues.
He Yong squeezed out a smile on his face and stepped forward to greet him.
"Brother Hao, what are you?"
Xu Hao strode into the room, placed the plastic bag on an old wooden table, and made a "bang" sound.
"I'm here to bring you lunch."
"You are responsible for monitoring tasks on the front line. You work hard and are exposed to the elements. It is really hard."
"Although this meal is simple, it can fill your stomach after all, right?"
He Yong flashed a trace of hesitation in his eyes:
"But Brother Hao, according to the rules, our supplies..."
Xu Hao waved his hand and interrupted him, with a tone that was a little unreasonable:
"Those who behave according to the rules or not are all brothers. Why are we so divided?"
"You still can't trust me Xu Hao?"
"Ma Ge and I are responsible for external support and can be considered logistics support personnel."
"It is necessary and our obligation to deliver meals to you brothers who are working on the front line. We must not let our brothers go hungry to perform their tasks!"
He was very eloquent and made He Yong speechless.
Xu Hao quickly scanned the room, and then his tone became a little more intense:
"A Yong, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and call your brothers over for dinner. The food won't taste good when it's cold."
He Yong shrugged helplessly.
Although I belong to Level 5 Cadre in Noah Organization, I am an action team leader in this Pursuer Team, and I also participated in Operation Meeting held the day before yesterday.
But when faced with Level 6 Cadre, which is quite promising like Xu Hao, one still has to show enough respect.
He immediately stopped talking, put a smile on his face, and greeted:
"Brothers, we are all here for dinner. Brother Hao brought it to us specially."
When the team members heard this, their faces showed a hint of joy, and they all gathered around and thanked Xu Hao one after another.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, take your time, everyone has a share."
With a smile on his face, Xu Hao opened the plastic bag himself and handed the boxes of food to everyone.
"There's barbecued pork rice, soy sauce chicken drumstick rice, and mapo tofu rice bowl. Take whatever flavor you like."
He looked exactly like a diligent fast food restaurant owner at this moment.
The atmosphere in the room relaxed a lot due to the unexpected lunch.
Everyone took the lunch box, found a place to sit down, and started eating hungrily.
Xu Hao also picked up a box and pretended to sit down next to a team member, grabbing some rice and asking questions casually.
After learning that the target person Cheng Jiashu had appeared as scheduled, he spoke again:
"By the way, where's your boss? I specially prepared a double deal for him."
The "boss" in his mouth naturally refers to the immediate superiors of He Yong and others, the leaders of Pursuer Team, Level 7 Cadre, and Chen Rui.
The team member's mouth was full of food and he answered vaguely:
"Captain, he is feeding his precious hounds in the backyard. I'm afraid he won't have time to come over for dinner."
Another team member also answered:
"The captain has to stay with his dogs for several hours before each action. They are so mysterious that we don't dare to disturb him."
"Oh? Your captain's ability is really strange."
Xu Hao had just the right amount of surprise on his face:
"I, Xu Hao, am fairly well-informed on the road, but I have never seen Special Abilities related to dogs."
His tone changed, with a hint of exploration.
"I heard that your captain was responsible for the initial investigation of "Smiling Devil". His abilities should have played a big role, right?"
The previous team member became interested, lowered his voice, and said in a somewhat showy tone:
"Of course, with those hounds Shared Perception, it is much easier for us to track the enemy than other teams. It is equivalent to having more than a dozen pairs of Surveillance Camera that can move at any time out of thin air."
"Furthermore, normal people would not be suspicious of a few dogs at all. The target may die without knowing how he was exposed."
"It's really awesome!"
Xu Hao sighed in admiration, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and then his honest smile returned:
"No wonder Minister Luo has placed your elite team in such an important position this time. It seems to have high hopes."
Hearing this, another team member couldn't help but interject:
"Yes, if you ask me, in terms of strength, our captain has actually reached the level of Level 8 Cadre. If his qualifications were not too junior, he would have been promoted long ago."
"Okay now, the new Station Chief has just taken office, and he is appreciated by such a big shot as Minister Luo. As long as this operation can be successfully won and he makes great achievements, isn't it a sure thing that he will be promoted to captain Squadron Leader?"
"At that time, those of us who are brothers will be able to follow the rising tide and our faces will be shining!"
These words were somewhat flattering, but they also expressed the sentiments of all the team members, eliciting several low voices of agreement.
Xu Hao's eyes moved slightly, guiding the topic:
"Since your captain is so strong, besides tracking and spying, does he have any other powerful abilities that can directly deal with that "Smiling Devil"?"
As soon as these words came out, the originally warm atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little stiff, and the expressions of several team members were slightly stagnant.
"This... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."
One of them answered somewhat vaguely:
"Our captain's strongest ability is tracking. As long as his hound locks the scent, even if the target is hiding in the end of the world, the captain can accurately find the target and there is absolutely no need to run away."
"But to have a head-on confrontation with a monster of Smiling Devil's level is almost meaningless. After all, even Lord Ghost died at his hands!"
"That's not necessarily the case!"
A Jie, who was immersed in picking up his lunch box, heard this and seemed to want to prove something, so he couldn't help but interjected:
"Captain, it may be more difficult for him to deal with "Smiling Devil" alone, but it will be equally difficult for that murderer to kill our captain."
"The hounds raised by the captain are not ordinary creatures. In addition to Shared Perception and Berserk to enhance their combat effectiveness, they also have a unique trick that will definitely surprise any enemy who underestimates them..."
As he spoke, there was a mysterious and proud expression on his face, as if he had foreseen the enemy's fate of Trap.
"Ahem!"
He Yong coughed twice, interrupting A Jie's words.
A Jie also realized that he had spoken too much and quickly shut up.
Xu Hao showed an apologetic smile on his face and explained:
"Sorry, brothers, I just joined Noah Organization not long ago. I admire the powerful abilities of the seniors in the organization. I was curious and asked a few more questions. Please forgive me."
What he said was impeccable, not only expressing curiosity, but also putting himself in the position of a junior.
He Yong didn't say much when he saw this, he just waved his hand.
"Brother Hao You're welcome, we are all our brothers."
Everyone chatted a few more innocuous topics about this operation.
One team member sighed:
"For many years, we Eastern Capital Branch have never had such a big battle."
Another person nodded in agreement:
"No, if I hadn't participated in this operation, I wouldn't have known that Eastern Capital Branch actually had so many experts, and there was also Minister Luo from the headquarters who was personally taking command."
"I see that "Smiling Devil" even with Three Heads and Six Arms, no matter how powerful he is, he can't escape the organization's pursuit..."
Xu Hao listened to their discussion and secretly wrote down the useful information in his heart.
Where he is now is just one of the six Pursuer Teams of Hunting Cheng Jiashu.
Each team consists of thirty people, divided into groups of five.
In addition to Xu Hao's own team, there are nearly two hundred elite armed forces.
Like a huge spider web, it surrounded the area where Home of Morning Light was from six different directions.
Once the target leaves Orphanage, this invisible net will immediately close.
Even if the opponent discovers something is wrong midway, it will be difficult to escape from such a tight encirclement.
The strength and mobility of Noah Organization can be seen from this.
After a while, everyone had finished packing their lunch boxes.
Xu Hao guessed that he wouldn't be able to get much information out of him, so he stood up and left.
He Yong and others politely sent him to the door.
Xu Hao left the house, the smile on his face gradually faded away, replaced by a look of solemnity.
Diagonally opposite, dozens of meters away, is Home of Morning Light Orphanage.
He knew that there were many Noah Organization's eyeliners scattered in every corner of the surrounding Street.
The entire area is under strict surveillance that is both loose on the outside and tight on the inside.
Xu Hao walked into an inconspicuous small supermarket nearby and pretended to buy a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of water.
Then he looked around and quickly took out an old-fashioned pager.
With a quick click of his fingers, he used the agreed Code Words and code to edit it into a text message and sent it out.
This is one of the ways of secret communication between him and Special Search Team.
Just after sending the message, a slightly joking voice floated into my ears.
"Hey, Haozi, why don't you go out on patrol and hide here to be lazy?"
Xu Hao felt a chill in his heart and looked back.
I saw the sturdy figure of Ma Biao blocking the door of the supermarket, with a playful smile on his face.
Xu Hao immediately put on a smile on his face and raised the Cigarette in his hand:
"Ma Ge, I am not a smoker. I want to buy a pack of cigarettes."
As he spoke, he quietly stuffed the pager into his trouser pocket with his right hand.
"Why do you, old man, come here to go shopping?"
Ma Biao came over and patted Xu Hao on the shoulder:
"You kid, stop pretending to be stupid with me here and go have a chat with me over there."
Xu Hai secretly said "No", thinking that his little move just now was discovered.
But I saw that Ma Biao was still smiling and carefree, as if he was just saying hello casually, with no other intention.
Then I relaxed slightly, but my heartstrings were still tense.
The two of them had their arms around each other, chatting and talking randomly, while walking in the other direction.
Their chatter and laughter seemed a bit out of tune with the tense and solemn atmosphere hidden in the surrounding streets.
Xu Hao felt uneasy and muttered secretly.
Fang Cheng Where is this big guy right now and what is he doing?
At the same time, the top of Hill is not too high near Home of Morning Light.
Among the dense Tree Canopy branches and leaves, a figure is as vigorous as an ape.
The figure was seen grabbing a thick branch with one hand, his whole body hanging upside down in mid-air, and the other hand hanging down naturally.
Amazingly, One-Arm Handstand Push-Ups is exercising.
