It was seven in the morning.
Dawn had only just begun to break.
Jinling City was still shrouded in the peaceful light of early morning.
But that peace was soon shattered by the deafening roar of engines!
Vroom! Vroom! Vroom!
More than a dozen camouflage-painted military Mengshi off-road vehicles and heavy trucks formed a torrent of steel, rolling into Jinling City in force!
Their brilliant headlights stretched into a moving dragon of fire, winding through the quiet streets.
The roar of their engines echoed along the empty roads, jolting countless residents awake.
Along the route, traffic officers on early-morning duty stared, dumbfounded, at the imposing military convoy, wondering whether they were still half asleep.
"Holy shit! Wh... what the hell is going on?!"
A young traffic officer rubbed his eyes, pulled out his phone, and frantically filmed the seemingly endless convoy.
"Are they troops from one of the theaters? Why have they suddenly driven into the city? Are we going to war?"
"No idea! Look at the soldiers in those vehicles. Every one of them looks ready to kill, and so many are wrapped in bandages! This is one hell of a mobilization!"
"Quick! Report this! Something huge is happening!"
In an instant, the internal communications channels of the Jinling Public Security System erupted!
Within minutes, the deputy bureau chief on duty received urgent reports from more than a dozen intersection checkpoints!
A fine sheen of cold sweat instantly broke out across his forehead!
Without any advance notice, an entire military unit had driven straight into the city!
This was an incident of staggering proportions!
He dared not delay. He grabbed the red telephone on his desk to report to his superiors.
But before he could dial-
Ring, ring!
His superior called first!
The voice on the other end belonged
