Chapter 39: Probing

Seeing that the Red-scaled Flying Dragon was stopped by a mysterious and powerful man, Sun Wei let out a long sigh of relief.

As things had developed to this point, there was nothing for him to hesitate about.

After most of the monsters rushed into Nancheng, he picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered: “Attention all Special Operations Unit members: clear all the monsters in the city in your combat units.”

As soon as the order was given, hundreds of heavily-armed Special Operations Unit members walked out of the headquarters several thousand meters away.

These members were in groups of seven or eight and quickly dispersed along the streets.

In addition, in other parts of Nancheng, a number of platoons of the Special Operations Unit also marched out.

After giving the command, Sun Wei grunted, leaped down from the building, and rushed towards a large monster the size of a truck.

Across the building, Wu An, who was sure there would be no major accidents, took three people into a cab and headed for a small supermarket across from the Special Operations Unit’s headquarters.

…

At the same time.

Thousands of meters away from the headquarters of the Special Operations Unit, a very ordinary-looking man with glasses was standing on the roadside. He stared at the Red-scaled Flying Dragon in the distant sky with a vague hint of frenzy in his eyes.

After returning to his senses, he hurriedly took out his cell phone, opened the monster identification software, and scanned it against the Red-scaled Flying Dragon in the distance.

Soon, a warm alert rang from the phone.

“An Type 1 adult monster: Red-scaled Flying Dragon. Combat power: over 800. We suggest that you hurry up and run away. Please do not scan it anymore.”

Hearing the prompt, a murmur came out of the mouth of the man with glasses.

“Monsters with over 800 combat power are popping up. Nancheng is in danger. Our chance has come. Heh, heh.”

After saying that, he subconsciously wanted to call a certain phone number, but just halfway through dialing it, he felt something wrong again.

After a few seconds of hesitation, he ran wildly toward the northeast direction.

…

More than 10 minutes later.

The man with glasses came to the snack street near Nancheng Elementary School and stopped in front of a chicken cutlet store.

At that moment, the store’s door had been closed.

Regardless, the man with glasses knocked on the roll-up door.

Not long after, a ghostly voice came out from the other side of the door.

“We’re closed.”

“I’m here to seek shelter and buy a chicken cutlet to fill my hunger.”

The man with the glasses replied softly.

Clatter!

The roll-up door opened along with the sound, and the man with glasses got in with great speed. In another similar sound, the roll-up door was closed again.

…

Inside the dark store, a petite, aproned young woman sat in the corner with a stoic face.

“What flavor do you want?”

“Why are you still…”

The man with glasses was very impatient. But when he saw that the young woman’s eyes were full of coldness and her hands were already clenched into fists, he had to change his tone: “Plum powder, pepper salt, cumin, garlic, chili powder, sweet and spicy sauce. Give me a little bit of everything.”

After saying those words, the young woman loosened her fists.

The glasses man saw this and immediately said: “Alliance Master, you know the situation outside as well. The Special Operations Unit and those monsters have already started fighting on the streets. In a short while they will scatter throughout the city.

“When that time comes, the Special Operations Unit’s headquarters will definitely be empty, and it won’t take much effort for us to take down those important facilities nearby!

“I have already thought about it. When the time comes, I will notify the city through the communication center, saying that there is a large number of super monsters attacking, and the safe house cannot guarantee the safety of the residents. This will cause the residents to come out and run for their own lives.

“After giving the order, I will immediately destroy the communication center, cut off the city’s communication, and go to the arsenal and water point.”

The young woman looked at the ground with a pensive look on her face, her hands kept rubbing on her apron like she was sharpening a knife on a whetstone.

A moment later, she asked coldly: “Where’s Wu An?”

“I saw someone fighting the Red-scaled Flying Dragon with more than 800 combat power near the sky above the breach. Maybe it’s Wu An.”

The young woman took a look at the time displayed on her phone and shook her head: “Wu An wouldn’t normally leave the Guardian’s residence, and it would take at least 15 minutes to get from the Guardian’s residence to the breach with his speed.

“The fastest he can arrive is only now, so it definitely wasn’t him that you saw.”

The man with glasses showed a face full of anxiety, and he said with slight anger: “What can we do if it’s not him?

“At that moment, all the Red Mist Fighters with a little bit of strength in the city are resisting those monsters. We just need to use the identity of the Red Mist Alliance members, in the name of support, to enter the Special Operations Unit’s headquarters. We don’t even need three minutes to eliminate those technicians who still remain inside.

“As for where exactly those important facilities are, we’ve figured it out over the years, and it won’t take five minutes for me to finish the plan!

“With a total of eight minutes, as long as Wu An doesn’t stay at the Special Operations Unit’s headquarters, it will be too late for him to react wherever he is.”

The woman didn’t answer, but just glanced at the phone.

The phone received a lot of messages at that moment, all of which were strange texts.

These were secret messages sent to her by members of the Xinyue Alliance scattered throughout the city.

At that moment, low roars of monsters came from the outside, and it was apparently that monsters had already surrounded the area nearby.

Hearing the growls, the man with glasses suddenly became irascible. He violently removed his glasses, slammed them to the ground, and extended his hand to point at the young woman.

“Damn it! Women are always so garrulous! I really don’t understand why the top would let you replace me as the Alliance Master of Nancheng’s the Xinyue Alliance!

“Give me the list of all members and their contact information, and I’ll be in charge of this operation! You just continue to f*cking sit here and wait for my news!”

Seeing this, the woman glanced at the man with glasses, took out a list from her pocket, and handed it to him.

The man with glasses was overjoyed, but when he took a look he was furious.

The list contained a total of 30 names, all of which were people he knew when he was the alliance master and only the contact information was different from the original.

As for the new members, not a single one was in the list.

“You spoke as if it was so easy. Why? 30 people isn’t enough for you to do something that simple?

“These are all Red Mist Fighters, and they are still your old men.”

The woman said with a smile, her eyes unconsciously curved into the shape of a crescent.

The man with glasses clutched the list and finally suppressed his anger.

“Hmph! I advise you to inform all the members while there is still a signal on your cell phone. And don’t touch the water coming out of the tap later, or else I won’t be responsible for this if something goes wrong!”

The young woman nodded slightly, stood up, and went behind the counter to take out a small metal box, delivering it to the man with glasses.

The man with glasses opened it, and there were some small red pills inside.

“If something really goes wrong, you should know what to do.”

The young woman pointed to the small pills and said.

“Of course I do! Goodbye!”

Saying that, the man with glasses put the small metal box into his pocket, pulled open the roll-up door with force, and ran away wildly.

After he was far away, the woman pulled down the roll-up door, sat back down, and took out her phone, carefully studying the map of Nancheng.

Not long after, a message popped up in the phone.

“Store manager, business have been so good these two days, do we really not have to go to work?”

“It’s so dangerous outside, how can you still go to work? Don’t worry, there are temporary workers in the store, so there is no delay. Wait a little longer.”

The woman tapped on the screen and replied.

“We are just afraid of delaying the company.”

“This period of time students haven’t yet started school, but business is still so hot, which is a little strange. I’m afraid that the competitors are scheming something against me.”

“Store manager, you’re right.”

“There are too many monsters out there now. If you suddenly can’t contact me, remember to come to the store. I’m out of water here, so better bring a few bottles of mineral water. I feel that the other sources of water are too filthy.”

“Got it, please be careful, store manager.”

…

“By the way, how is the flock of chickens that I raised? Can they come out of the cage yet?”

“They’re already raised, and ready to go out of the cage at any time.”
