Ten minutes later, several ambulances rushed in, stopping at the entrance to the Military Research Institute. The model airplanes unleashed a targeted bombardnt, and the security personnel hiding in the office building did not all escape unscathed. Nearly half were injured to varying degrees and had to be taken to the hospital for treatnt. Fortunately, due to the abundance of cover in the office building, no one was fatally injured. Luo Zheng watched the ambulances leave, his face as cold as iron, his eyes filled with a murderous intent.
The brazen attacks by unidentified assailants filled Luo Zheng with a teeth-gritting rage. Lan Xue walked over without a stir, and whispered, "Secret reinforcents of the Ard Police have already been drawn from neighboring provinces. They are coming by transport helicopters, then switching to cars. They are expected to arrive in Beijing within two hours. I've already notified Shi Feng, and he will secretly arrange for their entry through the tunnels."
"That's great," Luo Zheng said without asking for details. As the last ambulance disappeared from view, he took a deep breath, rallied his spirits, and said, "Who knows who'll attack next, we can't be careless. Thankfully, there are still thirty or forty guards left, so our strength is not weak; we still have a fighting chance."
"Do you have any plans in mind?" asked Lan Xue curiously.
"Continue to conceal our defenses, keeping the enemy unclear about our reality; aside from the guards at the entrance, the rest should continue to hide in the office building. Leave it open and let the enemy attack," explained Luo Zheng, his deep gaze flickering with the light of wisdom.
"Continue to set up a confusion strategy?" Lan Xue considered for a mont and did not object. In the situation of insufficient manpower, this was also a viable option. At least the enemy, not knowing the real situation, would definitely not dare to attack rashly. The Japanese intruders, the attackers just now, no matter who tried to ambush, made a lot of noise and were very powerful, but they were still eliminated. She believed that others with designs on the Military Research Institute would have to be wary. She then said, "Okay, I will continue to stay underground. With laser alignnt systems deployed in the passages, as long as the system is invaded, no one can attack easily. Ghost Hand will co out to help you."
"No need, isn't he also injured? Just let him stay in the basent and help you, just in case," Luo Zheng declined, then raising his eyes to the sky, and glancing at Mountain Eagle, who was injured and lying in wait on the rooftop as a sniper, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Mountain Eagle, can you hold on? It looks like dawn is approaching, and the likelihood of an enemy coming is small, but we can't relax. Clench your teeth and hold on a bit longer, you can sleep once it gets light."
"Don't worry, it's a small matter, I can handle it," Mountain Eagle said nonchalantly.
Luo Zheng could tell that Mountain Eagle was also reaching his limit. From the start of the mission until now, days had passed without rest or sleep. How could flesh and blood endure that? True to his title of Soldier King, thinking about the terrifying speed of the enemy who had just launched the sneak attack, even Mountain Eagle, the sniper, had been unable to lock on, he dismissed the idea of letting Mountain Eagle rest and said with a dark expression, "Everyone is very exhausted, I believe Elder Lin and the others must be as well. Can the research be certainly completed within three days?"
"It shouldn't be a problem. Elder Lin specifically sought out to discuss this. He told the other colleagues that it would take five days, whether that would confuse anyone is uncertain. The insider threat was sothing I had brought up with Elder Lin, and he is also very concerned. Therefore, he released information that the research would be completed in five days, but I doubt it will have much significance. The insider isn't a fool," Lan Xue said with concern.
"Indeed, for those with the intellect to conduct research underground, it's unlikely they would be easily deceived. This ticking ti bomb could explode at any mont, giving such a headache," Luo Zheng said annoyed, as the deep cover of the insider left them with no way to investigate. He had analyzed everyone's files and found no one with any apparent motive to be the insider.
"Anyway, don't think too much about it, I'm going down," Lan Xue said offhandedly and turned away to leave.
Luo Zheng arrived at the surveillance room and, seeing Zheng Duo's sorrowful and angry deanor, couldn't help but think of the injured security guard. The guards were all under Zheng Duo's command, and soone being hurt would undoubtedly weigh heavily on Zheng Duo's mind. Luo Zheng thought for a mont, but instead of offering comfort, he focused on the screens, searching. He had Lan Xing help switch the surveillance footage continually. After taking out the intruding enemies, Luo Zheng had the surveillance equipnt restored imdiately.
As he watched the rapidly changing images, he saw no suspicious activity and breathed a sigh of relief. He poured himself a glass of water to drink. Suddenly, Lan Xing asked, "Those people should have cald down by now, right?"
"Hard to say. Have you noticed that none of the incoming operatives were ordinary? Judging from their attack thods and skills, there's a very high chance they were military personnel. The combat philosophy of soldiers is completely different from that of special agents, and you can't judge by normal logic. When it seems safe, that's often when danger lurks," Luo Zheng said gravely.
After so thought, Lan Xue didn't ask anything more. Ti ticked away, second by second, and before they knew it, dawn had arrived. Lan Xue relayed through her headset that the Ard Police had arrived, moving everyone underground, preparing to head to the surface. Luo Zheng thought for a mont, then asked Lan Xue to notify the Ard Police to move in five minutes. Once on the surface, they should imdiately take up covert positions on the third floor and above, not stepping a foot outside the office building. Luo Zheng trusted Lan Xue to arrange the deploynt of personnel better than he could.
Five minutes were enough for the existing guards to evacuate the Military Research Institute, and the newly arrived Ard Police must not let the existing guards know of their presence, in case the information got leaked. Having understood the situation, Zheng Duo didn't object and instructed through his headset for all security personnel to evacuate the office building, taking a vehicle to leave the Military Research Institute, causing quite a commotion.
After five minutes, the new Ard Police were all in position, taking over the defense and security duties. Luo Zheng asked Zheng Duo to liaise with the team leader for better communication and command, choosing not to show himself. As daylight began to break, Luo Zheng finally let out a deep breath of relief. With the fifty new Ard Police joining them, their defensive strength bolstered, Luo Zheng's confidence was restored.
After breakfast, Elder Lin called the relevant leaders to announce the conclusion of the research, spreading the news via a press conference. With the new troops on the inside and the ssage distributed outside, Luo Zheng laid down on the sofa in the surveillance room to rest. However, after barely two hours of sleep, Lan Xue rushed in hurriedly, asking Zheng Duo to step aside before jostling Luo Zheng awake.
Opening his bleary eyes and seeing Lan Xue's concerned face, Luo Zheng thought sothing had gone wrong. His expression shifted drastically as he scrambled up, asking, "Has sothing happened?"
"Captain Wu just called. Drunkard has found signs that the Reincarnation Killer Organization might be infiltrating Beijing, but it's not certain. He told us to be careful. Drunkard has been tracking the Reincarnation Killer Organization, and his information is quite reliable. We have to be on guard," Lan Xue whispered, her expression stern.
"The Reincarnation Killer Organization? What are they here for?" Luo Zheng asked in surprise, his mind not processing quickly enough as he looked at Lan Xue, still sowhat confused, and continued, "It makes no sense for an assassin organization to be interested in research results. Every country has its own special agents; there's no need to hire an assassin organization to take research results, unless it's for revenge."
"That's what I was thinking too. In the past, we were either out on missions or training at the base. The Reincarnation Killers never had a chance to strike, but after all, we have killed quite a few of their mbers. There's no reason they wouldn't seek revenge. The possibility that they would co for payback upon learning we are on a mission in Beijing is quite high," Lan Xue said, her voice filled with anger.
