Volume 4 Dungeon Dungeon Chapter 118 Commander, Ring of Destruction
The key point of the formation was an old house, where Li Wei had been guarding the Blood Blade Mountain.
Even now, without the black mist, the old house remains eerie and terrifying.
The walls, made of yellow mud mixed with tarpaulin, are covered with Rift after years of weathering, but strangely, the house is remarkably sturdy.
It's even sturdier than those brick and tile houses.
The dark doorway seemed to block out all sunlight, and claw marks remained on the wooden beams of the door, the origin of which was unknown.
As Li Wei stepped into the old house, he almost instantly saw the crack in the earthen bed inside.
The crack was over three meters long and one meter wide; the black mist had emerged from here that day. Li Wei glanced at the crack, and without hesitation, jumped down.
Ten minutes later.
Outside the small village, a convoy of military vehicles sped towards them. Soon, over a hundred fully armed soldiers jumped off the troop carriers. After a major gave the order to search, he turned to a dazed soldier beside him and said, "Tell me what happened again!"
The soldier, trembling, recounted what had just happened.
"Someone who suddenly appeared destroyed your weapons and entered the village alone?" The major was confused. If what the soldier said was true, then what was the other party's purpose?
Regardless, the military's order was to prohibit anyone from entering the village. Now that there is suspicion that someone has entered, it is necessary to investigate thoroughly.
Just as he was about to order a full-scale invasion of the village, news came back that surprised him greatly: someone had come out of the village.
Li Wei walked empty-handed down the path, glancing at the hundreds of gun barrels pointed at him, and a slight smile appeared on his face.
"The file 'Dawn Project,' a top military secret of the Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armed Forces and all generals of the military districts, contains a clause that requires obedience to the wielder of the 'baton,' the order of the person in charge. Now, that baton has appeared."
Upon receiving a phone call, a middle-aged man sitting in the office of a secret agency let out a long sigh of relief. His eyes were slightly dark from days of hard work, but he could not hide the excitement on his face.
"Telegram to all participating units: Our new commander has arrived! Also, assign me an aircraft; we'll be deploying in minutes."
The middle-aged man was about to stand up when the orderly beside him quickly came over and said with concern, "Doctor, you haven't rested for two days and two nights. I think you should rest a little longer!"
Glancing at his orderly, the middle-aged man called the Doctor simply patted him on the shoulder, "That An Hei guy, because of this matter..." Compared to him, what am I? I just hope the commander he found can help us Dispel the darkness.
"
Inside a secret military base, Li Wei sat on a large leather sofa, enjoying the finest Dragon-Sheep Tea. Several fully armed guards stood beside him, their statue-like postures maintained for an hour.
After taking a sip of the fragrant tea, Li Wei was filled with doubt.
"What exactly does that guy An Hei mean? Why were the soldiers so respectful to me after I dialed that emergency number? And why did they bring me to this place?"
Li Wei noticed that there were actually surveillance cameras in the room, and that bastard An Hei might be watching him right now.
Thinking about this made Li Wei feel uneasy, but for Zheng Yutong and his friends, he had to endure it.
After drinking another cup of tea, Li Wei heard footsteps outside the door.
By circulating his internal energy, Li Wei assumed a posture ready to attack at any moment, though this was not outwardly apparent.
The door opened, and several people walked in. Leading them was a middle-aged man with a haggard but excited face, probably close to 18 years old.
Could this person be An Hei?
Li Wei had already made up his mind. If he confirmed that the other party was An Hei, then he would take direct action. He believed that no one here could pose a threat to him. As long as he controlled An Hei and found out where Zheng Yutong and the others were, everything would be much easier.
However, the possibility that this person is An Hei is zero.
Putting aside the fact that An Hei wouldn't be so foolish as to come see him in person, even judging from the voice he heard on the communicator before, the middle-aged man in front of him wasn't that kind of person.
While Li Wei was sizing up the other person, the middle-aged man was also looking at Li Wei.
"Doctor" is a code name for middle-aged people.
Within this state secret service, people can only address each other by code names, because even among their own people, identities cannot be revealed. This is the first rule written in the secret service's code of conduct.
The second rule is absolute obedience to orders from superiors.
To the Doctor, Li Wei was now his superior. Although he didn't know why An Hei trusted this young man so much, the Doctor could sense that this person was extremely powerful.
Even the agents dispatched from within the department to infiltrate "Shadow Street" did not possess such a terrifying aura.
"Hello, I am the Doctor. From today onwards, I will be working with you to carry out the 'Dawn Plan.' According to regulations, I do not need to know your name. So I will address you as '?'."
The Doctor chuckled, and Qiu Chuan'er spoke, continuing, "Please take out the An Hei Shield you gave me. We'll immediately implement the plan according to the markings on the map!"
Li Wei did not move.
He stared intently at the young man who called himself Doctor for a long time before slowly saying, "Where is An Hei? Tell him to come see me."
This question clearly took the Doctor somewhat by surprise. However, he still replied, "I'm sorry, this is something I may not be able to do. Even I don't know where he is right now!"
As the Doctor spoke, Li Wei carefully observed the other person's eyes and concluded that the other person was not lying.
Very well, let's follow the instructions in that letter and complete the Dawn Plan first. We'll see how things go when the time comes. You should know about An Hei; no one can hide forever.
Thinking of this, Li Wei took out the black phone and handed it to the Doctor.
Upon seeing the phone, the Doctor finally smiled slightly. He took out a computer, skillfully connected it to the phone with a data cable, and soon a map appeared on the screen.
"This is a distribution map of black fog in our country, numbered according to the order of their appearance. Of course, the timing is calculated based on the simulation model established by 'An Hei,' which has a very high accuracy rate. We will begin planning from here that at the same moment, the armies of several countries around the world will act simultaneously. You can use this mobile phone to command them in a unified manner."
The Doctor glanced at Li Wei, noticing his expressionless face, and continued, "A plane will pick us up and take us to the target area in a few minutes. You should rest for a while during this time!"
Is it the same plan as last time?
Li Wei found it strange. This was clearly a repeat of the operation that An Hei had threatened him to command in the previous mission world. If it was so small, why didn't An Hei do it and instead chose him?
Why is that?
The Doctor had already gone out to make some preparations. Li Wei, however, fell into deep thought.
Something's not right. Compared to myself, who has had very little contact with it, wouldn't it be better and safer for An Hei Self to command this operation? Even if I have a better understanding of the Black Mist than ordinary people, there's no need to do this.
Why not just threaten me over the phone, just like last time? Why go through all that trouble?
Clearly, in dealing with the black mist alone, he was indeed one of the most suitable candidates in the world, unless the Daoist was present. Therefore, seeking his help was part of An Hei's plan, and also the best option.
So here's the problem: he seems to trust me way too much.
I really can't figure out what made them so certain that I would take on this responsibility. Also, does the An Hei I'm not carrying out this plan mean that he's incapable of implementing it personally?
Thinking of this, Li Wei suddenly remembered that in that letter, An Hei had written, "My time is running out!"
What does this statement have to do with the current situation?
Li Wei couldn't understand it.
Time often flies when you're thinking about a problem, and the Doctor walked in from outside.
"Number??, let's go."
Minutes later, Li Wei was already tens of thousands of meters above the ground, and Li Wei gained a new understanding of the operational power of the "nation," this massive institution.
He had also read through the "Dawn Plan" file in his hand, and he found it hard to imagine what kind of force could mobilize the entire national army to participate in this operation in such a short time.
Moreover, soldiers from numerous countries and regions around the world have participated in this operation. The Black Fog region they are to enter is the largest of all Black Fog regions to date. It can be said that if Dawn Project succeeds, the Black Fog crisis will be completely resolved.
"The person who devised this plan is either a genius or a complete madman! It's impossible for a normal person to have such a detailed action plan and terrifying coordination ability in such a short time!" Li Wei was completely shocked by the plan in his hand.
The most difficult part of this plan was coordinating the armies of countries around the world at the same time. Although humanity always puts aside past grievances in the face of a common crisis, this level of coordination was unprecedented.
"In short, my task is to complete this plan within three days. Then let's see if you'll still be hiding in the shadows." Li Wei closed the file and slowly closed his eyes.
What he was about to experience was perhaps the most unforgettable experience of his life, but Li Wei was unaware of this. He was using this time to carefully study the "evil object" that had appeared from the center of the old house's array.
He stored the item in the Copper Pot given to him by the Daoist. At this moment, there was no one in the cabin. Following the method taught by the Daoist, Li Wei made a hand seal and the small Copper Pot spat out an item.
This is a ring, dark gold in color, with a large red gemstone set in it.
To be fair, the ring was beautiful, but Li Wei sensed a terrifying power emanating from it. Having returned to the real world from the mission world, he had regained his Eye of Perception, which allowed him to see the ring's name.
