Undercover!
., The fastest update of the Naming of the Night!
At the southern border of Luocheng, Yu Cheng of Jiuzhou was leading his team on a rapid march through the mountains and fields.
In winter, most of the vegetation in the north withers, much like an aging human with thinning hair.
Just then, Yu Cheng, who was at the front, suddenly knelt down and raised his right fist.
In just a moment, all the Jiuzhou members behind him knelt down and assumed firing positions.
Communication silence.
Yu Cheng had already spotted the target's trail, and they were slowly approaching.
He made tactical hand signals, indicating that the members behind him should flank from both sides, while he himself would advance from the center.
Gunfire erupted at any moment, the sounds of gunfire echoing through the mountains like firecrackers on New Year's Eve, with golden bullet casings falling to the ground continuously.
The two flanks that had flanked the enemy quickly put immense pressure on them from the side.
But Yu Cheng suddenly sensed that something was wrong...
It's not that the enemy is too strong, but that the enemy is too weak.
The target team consisted of only 12 people, and the battle was almost over as soon as it began.
These 12 Time Walker, after training, looked somewhat like soldiers. However, the problem was that the special operations team led by Yu Cheng was trained by He Jinqiu from the military, and could not be compared to the other side's training of one or two months.
Yu Cheng's gaze continued to search through the woods, waiting for the figure on the hillside to reappear.
However, the other side did not show up until the end of the battle.
The gunfire gradually subsided, and the woods returned to their winter tranquility and cold, no longer there.
The next moment, he looked at the woods on his left and moved the muzzle of his gun horizontally to prepare to fire.
The black of the tree trunks complemented the darkness of the night, making the mountains and fields at night like a strange and dangerous labyrinth, where no one knew where the enemy would emerge from.
"It's me," He Jinqiu's figure slowly emerged from the woods, the moonlight shining on his gray suit like a hazy veil.
"Password," Yu Cheng, without lowering his gun.
He Jinqiu smiled and said, "The country is safe and sound."
Upon hearing these four words, Yu Cheng finally lowered his guard. "Boss? Is there something wrong with our intelligence? The enemy here is too weak, abnormally weak."
"Of course it's not normal," He Jinqiu, looking at the haphazardly lying corpses not far away. These 12 Time Walker hadn't even posed any threat to Jiuzhou.
Yu Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Have you encountered any experts from Kamishiro or Kashima? There were people watching our group from the hillside just now, and I suspect they are their experts lurking nearby."
He Jinqiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, that's He Xiaoxiao. But he won't be participating in the battle tonight; he'll just be doing some data evaluation."
"I see," Yu Cheng nodded.
He Xiaoxiao is very mysterious. Even within Jiuzhou, very few people have seen his true face. Everyone knows that such a "master player" exists, but no one has the chance to meet him.
But if the expert who put so much pressure on Yu Cheng on the hillside was He Xiaoxiao, then where are the experts from Kamishiro and Kashima?
He Jinqiu looked at Shan Ye: "Our intelligence is correct. Both Jiuzhou and Kunlun know that the Time Walker entered Luocheng from two directions, one in the north and one in the south. So, Boss Zheng and I drew lots to decide who would go to the north and who would come to the south. Now, Shendai and Kashima only have so few people in the south, which means Kunlun is going to be very busy tonight."
"Shall we go help?" Yu Cheng asked.
"No need," He Jinqiu turned and walked towards the main road. "We have other things to do."
"But if the people from the Shindai and Kashima all enter Los Angeles from the north, can Kunlun hold them off?" Yu Cheng asked curiously.
He Jinqiu laughed and said, "Why do you all underestimate Kunlun? Even the old squad leader is someone I wouldn't dare to easily provoke. Don't worry, this territory is Kunlun's home ground. Shendai and Kashima can't cause any trouble."
The Yellow River forms the northern boundary of Luocheng, and there are only two bridges to cross the river into Luocheng.
One is the Luoji Yellow River Bridge, and the other is the Luocheng Yellow River Highway Bridge, one in the east and one in the west.
If the Time Walker from Kamishiro and Kashima were to cross these two bridges, they would only meet with death on the bridges.
At that moment, three ferries were sailing on the black river, their navigation lights off, like ghosts that had been tales of the Yellow River for countless years.
Human water conservancy projects are magnificent and vast. The turbid Yellow River flows from the distant northwest and finally completes water and sediment regulation at the Xiaolangdi Dam, turning the turbid river water into clear water.
It's no longer so turbulent.
At the very bow of the ship, a man stood quietly gazing at the shore, then made a tactical hand gesture toward his rear.
Two Time Walker in diving suits jumped into the water, holding small underwater thrusters in their hands. The turbines of the thrusters spun, stirring up bubbles in the water.
The two Time Walker cautiously climbed ashore, removed their diving gear, and traveled light.
One of them quickly surveyed the mountain area and finally used a flashlight to send three long and one short signal onto the river.
Upon seeing the signal, the man at the bow turned back and calmly said, "To shore."
The ferry's engine roared back to life, and it sped toward the shore.
Just as they were about to reach the shore, a roaring sound came from further away.
The distant roar, intertwined with the roar of the ferry engine, instantly tore apart the original solitude on the river.
The man at the bow leaped into the river, roaring in mid-air, "RPG!"
No one expected that Kunlun would not only find the route of Kamishiro and Kashima in this operation, but also use heavy firepower!
The Time Walker were used to urban chases and small-scale street battles. Before this, Kunlun's methods were relatively gentle, to the point that they gradually forgot that Kunlun had heavy firepower.
However, Kunlun never used these in the city because he was afraid of accidentally harming innocent residents and worried that public opinion would cause panic.
Now, in the mountains and fields, they no longer have any scruples.
He Jinqiu once said that the territory is Kunlun's home ground. The significance of the home ground is not just about being familiar with the environment, but also means that they can use weapons and equipment that others cannot use.
The next second, the high-speed spinning RPG rocket collided with the hull, and a huge flame shot into the sky, illuminating the entire river surface.
The Time Walker on the other two boats quickly jumped into the river and swam to the shore to avoid being buried with the ferry if the rockets struck again.
Some people swam in the opposite direction.
The appearance of RPG means that their operation has been exposed, and swimming to the south bank at this point will only lead to their death.
However, before they could swim very far, the sound of speedboats cutting through the waves came from the north river, and beams of searchlight shone over. More than a dozen speedboats were rapidly approaching, looking menacing.
A disheveled, unshaven middle-aged man stood in a speedboat, searching the lake with night-vision binoculars. "11 o'clock, go rescue them."
As the speedboat pulled up beside a Time Walker, before the middle-aged man could speak, a young man in the river burst into curses. "Ni Ergou, you son of a bitch, why didn't you tell me you were going to use an RPG? I've worked so hard as an undercover agent, and this is how you treat me? If I hadn't jumped in time, I would be dead up here."
Ni Ergou reached out and pulled the other person aside, saying with a smile, "Using heavy firepower was the boss's idea. If you want to complain, go complain to him."
Soaked to the bone, the young man climbed onto the speedboat with Ni Ergou's help. He didn't care about anything else and hurriedly said, "Hurry up, I saw Pineapple swimming westward. Go and pull them up too."
Ni Ergou laughed and said, "Don't worry, someone went a long time ago. You two have worked hard this month."
"It's more than just hard work. Those bastards from the God Era don't treat us like human beings at all. This time, we're just being used as cannon fodder." The young man took off his clothes and put on the clothes that Ni Ergou had prepared for him on the speedboat.
The river water is icy cold in winter, and if you don't change your clothes in time, you might get seriously ill.
The young man is called Bing Gao. Kunlun was able to grasp the movements of the Divine Era this time because he and Pineapple successfully infiltrated the underworld.
A month ago, Zheng Yuandong spoke with the two men, asking them to pretend to accidentally expose their Time Walker identities at the Ichiran Izakaya in the District 5 of City No. 16, and to be "voluntarily" captured by spies of the Kamishiro Family who were lurking in City No. 16.
In Zheng Yuandong's words, don't think of all the enemies in this world as terrifying. As long as you guess their intentions, you can control their fate.
In Zheng Yuandong's view, the reverse Transmigration Plan will inevitably appear on a large scale sooner or later, and the conglomerates are searching for the exposed Time Walker in an arms race.
At this point, if any exposed Time Walker appear, the other party will want to capture them immediately.
Therefore, they don't need to go to great lengths to infiltrate the enemy's ranks. All they need to do is have someone reveal their Time Walker identity to the spies of the Divine Era, and the enemy will naturally bring in the Kunlun mole.
During this month, Zheng Yuandong demanded that they not gather any intelligence, not resist in any way, and cooperate with Shendai's brainwashing and coercion.
There they were first subjected to inhuman beatings and torture, and then began to receive the initial training of the Age of Gods.
At that time, Bing Gao and Pineapple did not know what Zheng Yuandong wanted them to do. At first, they thought their boss was planning to rescue the controlled Time Walker. Later, they found that Shendai was very cautious and did not give them a chance to determine the location of the imprisonment.
Moreover, Zheng Yuandong didn't seem to have any intention of saving them.
This made Bing Gao and Pineapple very depressed, wondering if they had been abandoned by the organization.
It wasn't until the last time they traveled through time, when the Kamishiro Family asked them to participate in this reverse time travel mission, that Zheng Yuandong said, "Finally, the time has come."
Zheng Yuandong had been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to severely weaken the domestic forces of Kamishiro and Kashima.
To reiterate, in the Octagon Cage, when you throw a high-speed punch, your opponent can dodge and move away. You may use 100% of your strength, but only 20% may land on their face.
If you want to win with one blow, you should let your opponent throw the first punch, and when their body twists and their brain moves quickly closer, you should deliver a counterattack.
When your opponent's head comes hurtling towards you and your iron fist collides, it will be with 100% force.
Not far away, the pineapple was also successfully scooped onto the speedboat.
Almost all the Time Walker who fell into the water were captured. On the shore, Lu Yuan had also led his men to seal off the entire area. Not a single Time Walker who came by ferry was able to escape in this search and interception.
But just then, Bing Gao said, "Where's the boss? I need to report something to him."
Ni Ergou took an earpiece off his ear and handed it to him. "The boss is on the communication channel, you can say whatever you want."
Bing Gao took a breath and said, "Boss, we split into three action groups this time, each taking a ferry. We were under too much surveillance before, so we didn't report in time. None of the main figures in the reverse Transmigration Plan were on the three ferries. They must have another route, a route that neither Pineapple nor I know about. They might have already entered Los Angeles from somewhere."
Zheng Yuandong calmly replied, "Yes, I understand."
"Also," Bing Gao said, "Before the operation, we learned that one expert each from Kamishiro and Kashima would be involved in the plan, but they shouldn't be on the ferry either."
Ni Ergou was stunned upon hearing this. "Why didn't you say so earlier?!"
However, Zheng Yuandong's calm voice came through the earpiece again. "It's okay, I've already found one of them."
After saying that, Zheng Yuandong hung up the call.
On the speedboat, Bing Gao looked at Ni Ergou: "Have you guys found the address where I'm being held in the Inner World?"
"Didn't find it," Ni Ergou shook his head and said, "You have to understand, after all, we are all Time Walker, and we haven't been in the Inner World for very long, so our abilities are limited. But don't worry, Kunlun is also developing rapidly, and soon our intelligence capabilities will catch up."
Bing Gao immediately panicked. "Er Gouzi, what did you promise me before? If no one comes to save me after I travel back next time, won't Pineapple and I die? If the mission fails, those bastards from the God Era will definitely kill us to silence us and then move on."
Ni Ergou glanced at him and said, "Alright, I was just kidding. We've already found the location where you two were being held in City No. 16. It was difficult to act before because there were too many people there, but we'll carry out a rescue operation as soon as we get back."
Bing Gao breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't keep me in suspense like that, okay? You scared me to death!"
Ni Ergou was also unhappy. "I'm still your boss, can't you at least be a little more polite to me?!"
Bing Gao thought for a moment and asked, "Now that this matter is over, Kamishiro and Kashima shouldn't be able to cause any more trouble for a while, right?"
"I hope so."
On National Highway 103, north of Los Angeles, a huge tanker truck was slowly traveling from west to east, with warning signs painted in red on its body.
When they arrived at Wangcheng Avenue North, the driver suddenly saw people setting up roadblocks and checkpoints ahead, and using reflective sticks flashing red and blue lights to signal him to pull over.
After parking the vehicle, the driver, looking rather unassuming, jumped out of the driver's seat and asked with a smile, "Comrade, what's wrong? It's already night; large trucks can enter the city."
The Jiuzhou member who set up the roadblock glanced at him. "Show me your vehicle registration, driver's license, operating permit, and hazardous materials handling qualification certificate."
The short, middle-aged man smiled and said, "Okay, I'll get it for you right away, just a moment."
As he spoke, his eyes darted around, observing everything around him.
However, at that moment, the sound of a sniper rifle rang out 400 meters away.
Those were Jiuzhou snipers, hiding in a nearby residential building.
The other Jiuzhou members present also opened fire.
The document check was a ruse; Jiuzhou had already locked onto their target and intended to kill this person here.
Just before the gunshot rang out, the short, middle-aged man suddenly retreated to the side and back. With a bang, a deep crater appeared where he had been standing.
They also dodged the shots fired by the Jiuzhou members.
It seemed no one expected that this man would take precautions in advance and evade the Jiuzhou sniper's fire.
The next moment, the middle-aged man advanced instead of retreating, completely ignoring the sniper's presence, and brazenly charged into the midst of more than ten Jiuzhou members.
Suddenly, his power erupted, and a whip kick snapped a Jiuzhou member in the waist. The sturdy spine was as fragile as firewood under the force of this kick.
The Jiuzhou members drew their guns and fired, but they were far too slow to aim. Gunshots rang out incessantly, yet the expert missed every single one.
In just a moment, everyone who saw his speed and power immediately realized that he was a B-Class expert!
This is one of the experts they've been searching for!
If the other party drove a tanker truck into the city alone, then the tanker truck is probably full of replacement candidates for the reverse Transmigration Plan!
Inside a building, Tang Keke stood by the window, peering at the battlefield through a sniper rifle scope. An earpiece hung in her ear. "Boss, we've caught him. The intelligence was correct. However, the B-Class expert is too fast. Song Zhong, Yang Nansheng, and I couldn't hit him. Judging from the marks of his attacks, he's probably from Kashima."
There was more than one sniper present, but the middle-aged man seemed to have anticipated the presence of snipers, his figure evading all bullet trajectories like a ghost.
Only then did the snipers realize the terrifying nature of the superhumans in the Inner World!
Through the earpiece, He Jinqiu calmly said, "I'm almost there. Has the boss from Bai Zhou shown up yet?"
Tang Keke was stunned for a moment. She suddenly felt that her boss seemed to think that the boss from the daytime should be present.
Moreover, it seems that their boss wants to kill two birds with one stone, finding both the people from Kashima and the boss of Daylight at the same time!
"Boss, the other party hasn't shown up," Tang Keke replied.
"Do the people from Kashima intend to run away?" He Jinqiu asked.
"No," Tang Keke replied.
"Sniper, move over. There's more than one enemy here," He Jinqiu said before even arriving.
Tang Keke put away her sniper rifle and turned to walk outside. "Boss, you mean there are still people hiding in the shadows?"
"Yes, Kashima is also waiting for the boss from daytime," He Jinqiu said calmly.
From the very beginning, the Time Walker from the south and the north who infiltrated Los Angeles were merely used as decoys and cannon fodder by Kamishiro and Kashima.
But this was something Zheng Yuandong and He Jinqiu had anticipated. After all, who would really believe a group of Time Walker who had only been under control for less than two months?
The real danger has only just begun.
