Chapter 669: Chapter 602: There are Still Masters Chapter 669: Chapter 602: There are Still Masters The Nedahua Base was an abandoned military facility, its moveable assets almost entirely stripped bare.
Originally, a Pioneer Team wanted to take over this base, intending to make it their power base.
After all, the military base’s infrastructure was ready-made, making it easy to foster a sense of security.
However, it seed that later an ammunition depot exploded, burying that Pioneer Team and, following the subsequent fire, the entire military base was reduced to ruins.
Now, looking out, it was still a swath of charred land, with just a few burnt fraworks standing in isolation.
Occasionally, one or two scattered zombies would wander through this place.
It was in this chilling environnt that, within the charred outline of a warehouse, a scorched board was heaved open amidst a rumble from the ground, revealing a passage leading underground.
...
Then, with a buzz,
two drones flew out rapidly, continuously ascending in height.
Compared to the burnt conditions above, the base beneath was another world entirely, sustained by a Yuan Force nuclear power cell, maintaining the electricity and ventilation systems for the entire underground area.
And here, a gathering of several dozen people had convened.
“It’s a ssage from Teng Lianghong.
He says our location has been exposed,”
said an old man with white hair and only one eye, his tone sowhat ominous.
“Lord Mu, Teng Lianghong himself didn’t even know our location.
Where did he get this information from?
We have enough intelligence devices; we’re certainly no worse than the ‘Priests.'”
A considerably younger man beside him seed sowhat puzzled and worried.
“Teng Lianghong has already advanced to Catastrophe Level and has his own channels of information.
He says he captured soone and learned of it.
Check to confirm.”
“Is that the only information?”
The young man also appeared hesitant.
“I tested out a na and age; a general confirmation should be enough.”
“Okay…”
As the young man pulled out a crystal, he placed it against his forehead and began a prayer.
Monts later, he opened his eyes gravely.
“We are indeed exposed!
And the other side has employed very sophisticated intelligence disruption.
I’m not clear on the specifics, but that na does have a significant association with our group.”
“Heh, the Huang Family doesn’t want to show themselves, but the Assassin’s League they’ve hired is pretty useful.
Next ti we have an issue, we might try them as well.”
Old Mu cracked a sinister smile, emitting an unpleasant sound of mockery.
“Lord Mu, the drones have spotted a jeep heading our way, with no related intelligence on the driver.”
Right then, the previously released drones were feeding back information.
At this particular mont, Old Mu’s brow furrowed slightly.
It shouldn’t be a coincidence!
After hesitating, he still picked up the communicator, turned the dials to switch to a specific frequency, and proactively made contact…
…
“Looks okay for now.”
Tao Yu pressed down a Coin, looking towards the charred base in front of him, a slight smile on his lips.
He had seen the drones as well, and now it seed Teng Lianghong originally did not know about this base, and this was not the main hideout of the Assassin’s League.
“It seems I’ve taken out the main force of the Assassin’s League.
Now they’re practically leaderless, plus so unknown allies.”
Tao Yu had also figured out the strength the Assassin’s League had allocated to this mission, centered around ‘Teng Lianghong.’
But there were also the clients and associated allies.
“It’s just, they don’t seem to be the clients.”
Tao Yu drifted the car to a stop and then saw the warehouse cover in front open.
A few figures erged from it.
To his mild surprise, one of them seed vaguely familiar, as if he had seen him sowhere before.
Soon enough, he recalled who it was.
That guy who ambushed the Suns’ convoy when he was crossing the Gray Mist Zone!
A Catastrophe Level individual who had escaped from Sun Guangyao’s clutches.
A mber of the Gundy Family, a black glove who had pledged himself to the Evil God and was expelled from the family, but still maintained contact with them!
How unexpected, a familiar face.
And if it was him, it also didn’t seem so strange.
He had been expelled from his family after all; even if he was truly exposed, it would be controllable.
Most likely, he had co through so sort of one-ti use Teleportation Device, or perhaps even a unique thod known to the followers of the Evil God.
His strength might not match Sun Guangyao’s, but capable enough to escape from Sun Guangyao’s hands, he was clearly not to be underestimated.
And as a devotee of the Evil God, he might possess so peculiar Abilities.
“Definitely not the employer.”
Although Tao Yu still hadn’t pinned down who the employer was, he had learned at the State Capital that it was not the Gundy Family.
From what was apparent, though ‘Teng Lianghong’ had ascended to Catastrophe Level, he couldn’t compete with this guy in a fight.
“You’ve chosen quite the spot.
A pity you’ll have to relocate.
How careless.”
Tao Yu’s deanor was sowhat nonchalant as he spoke offhandedly.
Old Mu ‘saw through’ Tao Yu’s first layer of disguise at a glance, recognizing this ally of the Assassin’s League.
“Hehe, I hear you’ve suffered so losses recently.”
“No choice, there aren’t any good folks left to use.
I have to do everything myself.”
With that, Tao Yu paused before adding,
“How about it?
We are headed in the sa direction, after all.
Want to work together?
It would also make it easier to report back to the employer.”
“Now that you have broken through, we could indeed collaborate quite well.”
Old Mu was not overly suspicious.
After all, they were allies, and Tao Yu had co to warn him, having just ‘achieved a feat.’
And his plans did indeed work best with the help of a strong figure.
Otherwise, being hunted by Sun Guangyao could prove perilous.
“Tell your plans so I can assess the risk.”
“Right now we can confirm that Sun Guangyao must have left the base, so at most there will only be so of his safeguards left here.
Our goal is actually quite simple, we either aim for the Teleportation Device or target Sun Shiqing.
We choose whichever opportunity arises.”
Old Mu chuckled ominously,
“His safeguards can only protect one thing!”
“Uh, so you guys still have a strong player, eh?
Who?
What if I hadn’t shown up?”
Tao Yu asked with feigned surprise,
“Our employer?”
“The Huang Family always hesitates before acting.
They hired you guys, so how could they step in?
Don’t worry about it, when the ti cos, everything will be arranged.
Now that you’ve joined us, we might even consider targeting both parties at once, perhaps hitting two birds with one stone.”
“You’d better explain clearly, or who knows if you’ll sell out.”
Tao Yu’s response was not out of line.
Considering Old Mu’s reputation was indeed poor and he was associating with followers of the Evil God.
A cautious assassin was reasonable, wasn’t it?
“He’s not at Catastrophe Level, but he possesses extrely potent personal assassination capabilities…”
