"Do you dare to kill someone?" Zhao Qiang asked Yang Shiyun.
Yang Shiyun said, "I wouldn't dare. I'm a girl, how could I be as cold-blooded as you?"
Zhao Qiang said, "Judging from your appearance, I really thought you were cold-blooded."
Yang Shiyun said, "That's because I haven't found anyone who shares my views, so I'm reluctant to talk to others."
Zhao Qiang asked, "Then would I be considered a like-minded person?"
Yang Shiyun said, "It's alright."
Zhao Qiang said, "I am extremely honored."
Yang Shiyun said, "Stop being so glib. You're usually quite upright, but when it comes to being witty, you're just as good as anyone else."
Zhao Qiang straightened his expression: "Alright, let's get serious. With your help, I'm more confident in killing those four. Since you don't dare to go in and kill them, then I'll have to do it. But you can help me distract them. Just give me a chance and I'll complete the mission."
"How do I attract their attention? By setting a fire?" Yang Shiyun asked.
Zhao Qiang shook his head: "Setting fire might not work. Let's detonate their armory instead."
Yang Shiyun was startled: "What? Create an explosion?"
Zhao Qiang said, "Yes, that's the only way to make a bigger commotion. What, you don't dare to go?"
Yang Shiyun said, "It's not that I dare not go, but this matter is too serious."
Zhao Qiang said, "It's just a few weapons; the Wang family isn't short of money."
Yang Shiyun said, "What do you mean the Wang family isn't short of money? It's national assets, okay?"
Zhao Qiang said, "Alright, let's just consider it state assets. Aren't we doing the people a favor by dealing with the Wang family?"
Yang Shiyun said, "That seems to make some sense."
Zhao Qiang said, "Alright, go and get it done."
"How do we detonate it?" Yang Shiyun asked seriously.
Zhao Qiang remained silent for a long time again: "You're not qualified to be Spider-Man at all."
Yang Shiyun said, "I learn things very quickly. As long as you teach me, I will learn."
Zhao Qiang said, "How would I know what kind of detonating equipment would be available at the scene?"
Yang Shiyun said, "Why don't I go in and take a look myself?"
Zhao Qiang said, "Okay, you can decide for yourself. I suggest you spend more time in the library in the future. There are a lot of books and materials there." Zhao Qiang thought that he had spent most of his time in the library and online since his body was restarted.
Yang Shiyun nodded: "I will. Just give me a time to detonate."
Zhao Qiang glanced at his watch: "Let's make it exactly twelve o'clock. We shouldn't keep them waiting too long."
Yang Shiyun said, "I'll try my best." After saying that, she disappeared. Zhao Qiang scanned the layout of the military camp and then sneaked in as well.
The four men hiding in the military camp include a battalion commander who treats the place like his own home, a business tycoon who is almost fifty years old and has been providing the Wang family with a lot of financial support. In return, the Wang family has provided him with a lot of money-making opportunities. Every year, he has squeezed out no less than 100 million yuan from the country, making him a major parasite.
The third man was a thug, actually Wang Zhaoqiang's henchman. He was a powerful figure in Beijing's underworld, and more than a dozen people had died at his hands. Wang Zhaoqiang always left the problems that the official channels couldn't handle to him. He was involved in coercion, intimidation, and extortion almost every day. He lived a life of debauchery, and being stuck here was practically killing him.
The fourth person was a notable figure, but he had taken the blame for a murder case for Wang Yipeng, so Wang Yipeng pulled him into his circle. In reality, this person was just a sycophant, and his abilities were far inferior to the previous three.
The four of them are now gathered in a sturdy underground building, surrounded by soldiers. Sitting with them are five experts with supernatural abilities. Their plan is to lure Zhao Qiang into a trap and then, with the help of the soldiers, eliminate him, thus preventing future troubles for the Wang family.
Wang Zhaoqiang didn't come, but Wang Jing and Wang Yipeng were present. Wang Jing checked the time, gestured to Wang Yipeng, and the two left the underground prison. Wang Yipeng asked, "Uncle, how confident are we?"
Wang Jing clenched his fist and said fiercely, "Nine out of ten times, if he dares to come, we'll make sure he dies without a burial place."
Wang Yipeng said, "But last time, even five experts with superpowers couldn't defeat him."
Wang Jing said, "That's because we didn't have the advantage of timing and location. But this time we're going to defend and wait for the attack. Moreover, the person is hidden in an underground building, and the paths he can take to the secret room are all guarded by soldiers. We'll have the soldiers wear him down first, and then the supernatural experts will deal with him. Do you think our success rate won't be high?"
Wang Yipeng chuckled and said, "That's true, I can't wait either."
Wang Jing said, "It's almost time, that's why I let you out. It's too dangerous to stay inside."
Wang Yipeng said, "I can't stand watching that guy get killed."
Wang Jing also laughed and said, "The whole process is monitored, so you can watch it however you want in the future. If we eliminate a major force of the Yang and Hu families this time, our development will be much stronger."
Wang Yipeng said, "Of course, Uncle, I'll get you any woman you want."
Wang Jing didn't stand on ceremony and said directly, "Su Su is very popular lately, how about we, uncle and nephew, get her involved?"
Wang Yipeng laughed heartily and said, "Uncle, you've really hit the nail on the head! That's exactly what I was thinking."
The two chatted and laughed as they left, as if Su Su had been stripped naked and admired in front of them.
The people in the secret room looked at each other, while the five superhumans were all gathered at the entrance, resting with their eyes closed, ignoring the four people. The atmosphere was very oppressive. Finally, someone spoke up.
"I said, are we really not going to survive tonight?"
The merchant said, "No way, didn't you see that the Wang family sent a supernatural expert to protect us?"
The battalion commander said, "Protect us? I think they're just using us as bait."
The other three remained silent. In fact, none of them were fools; they had already figured it out. Although the Wang family was using them as bait, they would be safe as long as Zhao Qiang was killed. So, they had no choice but to be bait. Of course, if it succeeded, they would still be credited to the Wang family.
"How do you think he'll get in?" someone couldn't help but ask again.
"They probably can't get in," someone reassured themselves. "This is an underground structure; there's no other way in except through the normal entrance."
"Yes, they shouldn't be able to get in," someone said with certainty. "Even if they did get in, they'd be shot dead as soon as they entered."
Actually, Zhao Qiang was also wandering around outside trying to figure out a solution. After several upgrades, his X-ray glasses could now scan the underground chamber, but the entrance to the chamber was heavily guarded by soldiers. If he forced his way in, he would inevitably kill many innocent soldiers who were just following orders and it would be a pity for them to die. In addition, when he rushed into the chamber, he would be attacked by five superpowered experts. Zhao Qiang was not sure if he could kill the four of them under those circumstances.
"Looks like I still need to upgrade the electromagnetic gun." Zhao Qiang weighed the electromagnetic gun in his hand. After being powered by the electromagnetic rail, the bullets could penetrate extremely thick obstacles. However, the thickness of the underground chamber was still beyond the current penetration power of the electromagnetic gun. Therefore, Zhao Qiang only thought of upgrading the electromagnetic gun because he couldn't break into the chamber. But upgrading the weapon would consume Zhao Qiang's energy. Right now, his energy was plentiful, and he wouldn't be afraid to face five superpowered experts. But what about after upgrading the weapon? His energy would definitely be depleted. If the superpowered experts took the opportunity to attack, Zhao Qiang would be in danger.
Looking at the time, Zhao Qiang had no time to hesitate any longer. He decided to extend the electromagnetic rail by two times, so that the bullets would be able to penetrate the current thickness of the sealed room. He would kill as many as he could, because doing nothing would make the Wang family look down on him.
Zhao Qiang found a secluded spot to sit down. The rails for the electromagnetic gun weren't made of any special material; Zhao Qiang could find them anywhere. Bullets were no problem either, so the modification was quick and efficient. A few minutes later, Zhao Qiang had a long gun that was over three meters long when he held it. That wasn't enough; Zhao Qiang modified several bullets that could explode on their own at the appropriate time, and the resulting fragments could kill a large number of enemies.
Looking at the time again, there was still one minute left. Zhao Qiang wondered how Yang Shiyun's preparations were going. He returned to his chosen sniping position. Although sentries patrolled by from time to time, Zhao Qiang could appear anywhere thanks to his anti-gravity device. How could those patrolling soldiers have imagined this? They passed under Zhao Qiang several times without noticing.
A deafening explosion rang out in the military camp, followed by a series of explosions. Flames shot into the sky. Yang Shiyun had taken action. Zhao Qiang couldn't imagine how she had found a way to detonate the explosives, but she did not disappoint and completed the mission on schedule. A large number of soldiers rushed to the explosion site, even if they didn't fight the fire, they still went to capture people.
Zhao Qiang hid in a large tree and began aiming at the basement. The distance from Zhao Qiang's position to the underground chamber was at a 45-degree angle. Zhao Qiang's aim involved a huge amount of data. He had to calculate the effect of the soil on the bullet, the resistance of the concrete to the bullet, and even the influence of wind direction and surrounding leaves. Otherwise, after traveling a long distance, the bullet might deviate significantly from the underground chamber, and the mission would fail.
Volume 2 [624] Mission Successful
[624] Mission successful
The explosion sent dust flying through the underground chamber. Five supernatural experts stood up nervously, looking at each other, unaware of what had happened outside. One tried to rush out, but was stopped by the other.
"where are you going?"
"Go out and check the situation; stay here and figure out how to eliminate that guy."
The person who stopped him said, "Were you stunned? If you go out now, won't you fall into his trap of luring the snake out of its hole?"
The superhuman who was about to leave immediately realized, "Yes, he deliberately created chaos to take advantage of the situation."
The leader, a highly skilled superhuman, said, "We'll hold this position firmly. Even if a ground-penetrating bullet couldn't get in, it's fine if he doesn't admit defeat. But if he dares to come in, we'll make sure he doesn't leave alive."
The four targets under protection echoed, "Yes, let's make sure he doesn't leave alive."
The businessman was a little uneasy and said to his companion, "I heard that Zhao Qiang has extremely advanced weapons. Could he burrow into the ground and emerge from under our feet?"
As soon as the merchant spoke, the others jumped up, their eyes staring at the ground in fear, as if Zhao Qiang would really emerge from underground at any moment. However, Zhao Qiang didn't actually have that ability. If there was enough time and 'g' materials, it wouldn't be impossible for Zhao Qiang to build an armored vehicle. However, the armored vehicle would cause the ground to vibrate for a long time when it was in operation, making it unsuitable for secret infiltration. So Zhao Qiang didn't do it.
One of the superhumans turned around and yelled, "Shut up and stop spreading rumors. He couldn't have come from underground. If he were burrowing, we could feel it."
The answer from the expert with superpowers put everyone at ease, but someone still asked another question: "What if some kind of weapon attacks directly?" This was a possibility, and everyone became afraid again.
The superpowered expert said impatiently, "Shut up, what weapon can accurately travel such a long distance, idiot?"
Suddenly, the concrete wall shattered, and a bullet appeared in the secret room. Bang! The bullet struck the four people huddled together, exploding mid-air. Fragments scattered, and the businessman and the thug at the front were hit squarely, their brains splattering out, killing them instantly.
Upon hearing the sound, the superpowered individuals immediately raised their arms to shield their faces. Most of the shrapnel couldn't harm them; this weapon was only meant for ordinary people. Bang! Another bullet pierced through and exploded, shrapnel flying everywhere in the sealed room. No one had expected Zhao Qiang to use this method to kill, and with such surprising effectiveness.
In the eyes of ordinary people, even the most advanced weapon would be impossible to calculate the exact route to enter the secret room. Moreover, there were a large number of troops patrolling on the ground. As soon as Zhao Qiang appeared, they would retaliate and would not give him a chance to shoot. However, the result was that the enemy fired three bullets in succession, and each bullet was precisely calculated to give the largest possible impact area to the four targets.
"Ah!" the battalion commander screamed. When the first bullet exploded, his thigh was injured by shrapnel. However, the shrapnel that was about to hit his vital parts was blocked by the person in front of him. But the person in front of him was hit and fell down. The battalion commander lost his human shield. The shrapnel that followed cut off half of his face, leaving him covered in blood and extremely horrific.
Shrapnel continued to fly through the sealed room, disrupting the formation of the superpowered individuals. Forget about protecting the targets; they were even struggling to protect themselves. Zhao Qiang fired three bullets outside, but when he fired the fourth, he was spotted by patrolling soldiers. Immediately, a swarm of fire came from below, consuming his energy even though it couldn't harm him. Zhao Qiang immediately activated his propulsion system, and he shot into the air and disappeared.
Large searchlights immediately shone over, and the crowd clamored as they surrounded the spot where Zhao Qiang had just fired. The exploded armory was no longer important; the key was to capture the attacker. Most of the soldiers believed that the attacker had nowhere to hide, but when they surrounded him, they found that there was no one there at all.
Zhao Qiang shot through the air like a bullet, then took advantage of the chaos on the ground to land in a dark corner. He then knocked out a soldier, changed into his clothes, and mingled with the crowd to lie in wait outside the secret room.
Through the scan, Zhao Qiang knew that two of the targets had been killed, and one was seriously injured and would die sooner or later. Only one person was slightly injured, while the five superpowered experts were unharmed, but they looked panicked. Although Zhao Qiang's actions had disrupted their plans, they were now at a loss for what to do. Everyone was nervously staring at a wall, fearing that another bullet might sneak in. If the slightly injured target was also killed, then their mission would be considered a failure, and the punishment they would face was still unknown.
Zhao Qiang ran towards the outer entrance of the secret room, where two squads of soldiers were still holding their posts. No matter what happened outside, they would not leave.
Zhao Qiang said to the soldiers guarding the entrance, "We received a call from above. Two of the targets inside have been killed. You're ordered to go in and protect them immediately."
The sergeant guarding the gate said, "Killed? Impossible, we've never seen any invading enemies."
Zhao Qiang said, "I'm just relaying orders to you. Whether you go in or not is up to you. I'm not the one who will be punished."
The squad leader on guard picked up the phone in the duty room, but the signal had long been cut off. He gritted his teeth and said, "Squad one stays here, squad two goes in to check the situation."
So Zhao Qiang followed the second squad, and they rushed in through the main gate. The gate was heavily guarded, but since they were all familiar with each other, they wouldn't fire indiscriminately. The sentry behind the gate could see the surveillance cameras inside the secret room. Sure enough, the situation was exactly as Zhao Qiang had described. Two of the targets in the secret room were lying unconscious on the ground. Considering that the signal for communication with the outside world had been cut off, they believed that Zhao Qiang had come to give verbal instructions. So they grabbed their guns and ran into the secret room to prepare for the rescue.
Zhao Qiang arrived at the entrance to the secret chamber without any trouble, and the superhuman hadn't yet detected his presence. However, the final door couldn't be opened by soldiers; only someone inside could control it. So, the soldier used the communication system between the inside and outside of the door to call out, "Open the door! Open the door!"
The superhumans exchanged glances, and one of them said, "The reinforcements have arrived. Should we open the door?"
One of the superhumans said, "If we don't treat him, I'm afraid I won't last more than a few minutes." The seriously injured man on the ground began to kick his legs.
Another superhuman said, "Go ahead, they're on our side. We just need to protect the last one."
So three superhumans shielded the lightly injured target in a corner, another provided support from the side, and the fifth went to open the door. The soldiers rushed in, crowding the already small secret room so much that they couldn't even turn around.
The superhuman said, "Get out, all of you get out. Don't come in together. Two of you come over and carry the wounded to the treatment room."
Zhao Qiang mingled in the crowd, leaning forward intentionally or unintentionally. A superhuman grabbed his shoulder, saying, "You, and you, carry him to get treatment."
Zhao Qiang bent down, and another soldier lifted the injured target's leg. The two of them carried him out. At this moment, the superhuman drove away the soldiers rushing into the secret room and lowered the defenses around them to a minimum. Zhao Qiang suddenly made his move. A cold light flashed first on the head of the seriously injured man, and then struck the last target hiding in the corner. Thud! The target's skull was smashed to pieces, while the target being carried had his neck cut off, and he was dead beyond any doubt.
All the soldiers were stunned, but the superhumans reacted the fastest. "It's him! It's him! Kill him!" All the targets they were protecting were dead. These five superhumans knew that things were serious. If they didn't get rid of Zhao Qiang, their fate would be tragic.
Five forces attacked Zhao Qiang simultaneously. Zhao Qiang couldn't possibly escape unscathed at this point. He separated his energy from his body, forming a thick protective layer around him. The attack landed entirely on the protective layer, causing several violent explosions in the surrounding area. Most of the soldiers were killed, while the shockwave from the explosion in the narrow chamber injured the five superhumans. They all tried to escape the chamber, partly to save their own lives and partly to gain an advantage by securing the doorway to block Zhao Qiang.
Although something unexpected happened inside the secret chamber, not a large number of soldiers continued to rush in, because the explosion of the armory attracted most of the troops, and many soldiers were searching the perimeter. This greatly relieved the pressure on Zhao Qiang, and he only needed to deal with five superpowered experts.
