The sniper bullet not only can penetrate the body and shred the organs to take life, but its powerful impact can also kill a person by shock, as if being hit by a high-speed train. Although the bullet was blocked by the strangely camouflaged suit, the impact was still there, affecting the target just the sa.
Luo Zheng glanced at the target, whose eyes, ears, nostrils, and mouth were all bleeding. He figured it must have been the shock from the sniper bullet that caused this and was surprised. It was the first ti he had seen soone die like this. Taking a deep breath to rid his mind of distractions, he steadied himself. In a few moves, he peeled the camouflage off to the waist and then pulled it off from the feet. It looked like a suit for winter swimming, soft and smooth. He couldn't help but say, "This really is sothing, not a single bullet hole. The bullet-resistance is too strong; even a sniper bullet can't penetrate it. Impressive."
"This is definitely top-tier Japanese military technology. I had long heard that the Japanese bullet-resistant vests were very good. With this thing, our own military technology can also advance a level. We've really achieved a great feat this ti," Snow Leopard said excitedly.
Luo Zheng smiled dismissively, "Perhaps, this ti we've killed three Japanese ninjas, and we've gained a lot. Hopefully, it will deter others and give us so peace for a while. Co on, let's go to the surveillance center. I'm not sure if there are still enemies lurking around; we can't be careless." As he spoke, he started checking the ninja on the ground again, found another military bullet-resistant vest, only a jacket this ti, took it off too, and headed towards the surveillance room.
The two arrived at the surveillance center, and Zheng Duo opened the door, a triumphant smile on his face. "That's great, another one down. This guy was tough; bullets couldn't kill him?"
"It's not that the bullets couldn't kill him; it's that this guy was wearing a bullet-resistant vest, double protection," Luo Zheng explained, found a place to sit down, and contacted Lan Xue in the basent via headset, which was on a public channel that everyone could access. Lan Xue had already guessed so of the situation through the headset and said she would co over right away.
Soon, Lan Xue ran into the surveillance room with a look of surprise, took a look at the camouflage, picked it up and studied it for a while, and then, sighing, she said, "We've really achieved a great feat this ti. These things must be kept confidential, or else they could be charged with the cri of leaking national secrets." She looked at Zheng Duo, knowing everyone there apart from him was from National Blade.
Zheng Duo, being a clever man, imdiately caught on that Lan Xue's warning was aid at him. He imdiately assured her, "I won't tell anyone, even under death. Leaking national secrets is a serious cri, a betrayal to the nation. Death isn't scary, but being a traitor ans your family can never hold their heads up again." Zheng Duo decided to forget everything he had just seen.
Lan Xue nodded in satisfaction, took out her phone, and dialed a secret number. After connecting, she said, "Captain Wu, we've caught a big fish, along with so stuff we've been interested in for many years, yes, good." She then hung up.
Luo Zheng guessed that Lan Xue was speaking to Captain Wu of the National Blade Special Combat Team but didn't ask further. He looked at Zheng Duo and seriously instructed, "Return to normal defense imdiately; all three defense lines operate as usual."
"Understood," Zheng Duo imdiately went to give orders to the guard personnel.
The enemy's attack had been thwarted; according to the intelligence everyone had, all three ninjas were completely wiped out. Japan had utterly failed, but no one dared to be careless. Besides the Japanese, there were many others who wanted to get their hands on the research results. The security defense could not be withdrawn, and vigilance could not be relaxed. Lan Xue returned to the basent while Luo Zheng asked soone to collect the ninja's bodies and continued to oversee the surveillance room.
Over two hours later, the police and fire brigade who had co to put out the fire left the Military Research Institute, circulating around the office building as they departed, and the Institute returned to quietness. Until dawn began to break, a helicopter flew over; everyone already knew it was Captain Wu arriving, and they all ca out to greet him. The guard personnel kept watch on the periter, not allowing anyone to approach.
Captain Wu saw Luo Zheng and the others lined up, each one alert and spirited, and nodded to himself in satisfaction. After a solemn salute, he said, "Well done, good job. I have nothing else to say. It's up to you how to proceed. Just tell how I can assist, and I'll manage the logistics well."
Everyone knew that Captain Wu was here for the camouflage suit, a piece of high-tech equipnt that the military had long coveted. Concerned about its security, Captain Wu personally flew the helicopter to retrieve it, which showed the importance he placed on this matter. Lan Xue handed over the neatly folded camouflage suit and another Bullet-Resistant Vest with a solemn expression, knowing these were obtained at the cost of lives.
"Rest assured, I will safely return it, and you have all done a great service to the nation. I won't say much more; just complete your mission well, and I look forward to hearing more good news from you," Captain Wu said earnestly, his gaze sweeping over everyone and finally resting on Luo Zheng. After a mont of contemplation, he said, "Well done."
"It's just luck," Luo Zheng said modestly.
"Don't play those tricks in front of . Good is good, and you all did great. I thank you," Captain Wu saluted again with a steadfast and powerful look, then turned and jumped onto the helicopter, which soon flew away.
"Phew!" Luo Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that Captain Wu hadn't demanded the captured knife. It would have been troubleso to lose such a fine blade. Noticing Luo Zheng's thoughts, Lan Xue said, "You know, once the Equipnt Team has finished studying the camouflage suit and Bullet-Resistant Vest, they will exchange them back to us. As for your knife, since the Equipnt Team has it, they wouldn't need to study it further. Our rule is that the catcher keeps what they catch, although if the nation needs to study it, it must be handed over but will be returned afterward."
"Is that so? That's good," Luo Zheng said with a chuckle, appreciating the camouflage suit but favoring the knife even more.
"Little brother, let borrow it for a few days when you get it back. It's a pity the other two ninjas didn't bring knives, or we could have captured a couple more," Ghost Hand said resignedly.
"Be content. Such treasures are hard to co by. Having one is already great. I heard these knives take years to make and the material is incredibly rare and valuable, with very few in Japan," Lan Xue said, comforting.
After chatting for a while, everyone dispersed. Luo Zheng returned to the surveillance center to continue monitoring. Lan Xing, curious, examined the long blade in Luo Zheng's hands, held it for a while, then handed it back to Luo Zheng, losing interest as her curiosity was satisfied. Zheng Duo also wanted to look, but didn't dare to ask.
Everyone had breakfast in the surveillance room. Well-fed, Luo Zheng continued to watch the surveillance video from his executive chair. Suddenly, Lan Xing let out a surprised sound. Luo Zheng turned his head and saw Lan Xing rapidly typing on the keyboard, her expression stern—clearly, she had discovered sothing. Caught off guard, he tensed up and wanted to ask, but refrained from disturbing Lan Xing.
Soon, Lan Xing suddenly said, "This is bad, I've found an unidentified signal source."
"Where?" Luo Zheng asked in surprise.
"It disappeared suddenly; the other side is a master trying to infiltrate our system. They realized sothing was wrong and quickly locked it back down. It's too late to pinpoint, but it's certain that it's in this building, probably soone using a signal transmitter to connect to the network," Lan Xue said seriously, her expression grave.
