The battle in City 23, which mobilized so many Garrison Troops, unsurprisingly made the news. The frontline war had only been paused for two days. In the rear, a shocking battle to snatch people occurred without any warning. In three hours, Zheng Yuandong evacuated a total of 20 scientists from City 23, taking away a total of 670 patent documents. Although the patent materials were not complete, most were controlled by Shendai and Koshima, but the knowledge was already in the scientists' minds. As long as they were there, City 10 had the confidence to start again.
20 scientists, compared to the more than 600 scientists monitored by Koshima, seemed like a small number. But the problem was that Zheng Yuandong and his team specifically targeted the scientists with the highest priority numbers. This time, they almost snatched all of Koshima's top scientists. Once these people arrived in City 10, the remaining ones could be described as insignificant.
At this moment.
Zheng Yuandong and Lu Yuan, under the effect of a curse, transformed into two swallows, lightly landing in a rented house in the Ninth District. The swallows landed on the ground, with a pop, feathers scattered in the air, turning into shadows, and the two revealed their figures. There was a family member in the room, who immediately stood up when he saw the two of them: "Both of you, the door is open, you can leave."
"Did you come from City 10?" Zheng Yuandong asked.
"Yes," the family member nodded, "The destination is here, the starting point is in City 10, and they control the power to open and close the door."
The starting point and the destination have a big difference. The starting point can control opening and closing, but the destination does not have this power. But if they open a Key Gate from the City 10 headquarters here, then Qing Chen and his team can control opening and closing at any time, as long as one person guards the other side of the door to ensure that there is no danger behind the door.
In this way, City 10 will retain the Key Gate to each city, allowing them to go anytime. It's much more convenient than high-speed rail or airplanes. And this Key Gate has a hidden usage technique that Qing Chen thought of when he was figuring out how to exploit bugs.
Back at the City 10 Garrison Troops camp area, Lu Yuan curiously asked: "There's a master like you in City 23 to draw firepower, what about City 20? In the Guardians' Union of City 20, there are only C-Class Little Seven and others at most. Even with Purple Orchid Star, it will take another one or two months to reach B-Class. They can't take away so many scientists."
Zheng Yuandong said: "Qing Chen will go in person."Lu Yuan was stunned: "Then he'll draw much more hatred than you."
Zheng Yuandong drawing hatred is because he killed enough people, posing a threat to Koshima. But Qing Chen is different, Qing Chen killed too many members of the Shendai Family.
If he goes to City 20, he'll be able to take the entire city's Garrison Troops with him, and it'll be a spectacular sight. But the question is, can Qing Chen show up in Shendai's territory and come back alive?
Zheng Yuandong smiled: "He doesn't seem to plan to show up to draw firepower. He just said he has another way in City 20."
At this moment, in a certain villa in the third district of City 20, an intelligence officer from the Eight-Forked organization responsible for monitoring scientists is closely watching the villa area across the street. In the elevator of the villa, Qing Chen is calmly sitting in the elevator, the electromagnetic pulse in his body is impacting in circles, and all the cameras in the area only show interference snow.
There are 12 households in the six-story villa. A young man who is watching an adult program is excitedly watching the holographic projection. As a result, the holographic projection suddenly shows the men and women in the projection becoming blurred, as if they were censored.
The young man curses: "Downloaded wrong again?!"
At this time, Qing Chen has arrived at the door of the Eight-Forked organization. He has cut off the communication channel in the room. With his ringed hand, he gently twists the doorknob, and the door opens. Qing Chen walks in and closes the door. The intelligence officers of the Eight-Forked organization inside are terrified. He frantically calls on the communication channel: "Request support, request support, Qing Chen has appeared! Qing Chen is here!"
But there is no sound on the other side of the communication channel, and his voice has not been transmitted at all.
The Power of Thunder that can interfere with electromagnetism.
The power ring that can silently open any door.
The transparent Marionette as a knife.
These abilities combined make Qing Chen the king of secret infiltration and assassination in this world.
And a friend provided Qing Chen with all the monitoring locations of the Eight-Forked organization, which helped him accurately find these intelligence personnel.
Unlike Zheng Yuandong's method.
Zheng Yuandong first takes away the people, and then runs with Koshima's intelligence personnel.
Qing Chen first kills Shendai's intelligence personnel, and then takes the scientists away.
As long as these intelligence personnel are all killed in advance, won't anyone know their whereabouts?
Shendai monitors more scientists than Koshima. All the famous scientists in Shendai territory are gathered here, totaling 1301. This number of monitoring points shares six communication channels. It is impossible to confirm the status of intelligence personnel every five minutes by checking passwords one by one. At most, a voice recognition system is used to confirm whether the speaker is the intelligence personnel himself.
But Qing Chen's Breathing Technique can perfectly imitate voice.
At this time, the intelligence officer opposite him wants to shoot, but before he can pull the trigger, his arm is cut off by an invisible knife, and then his heart is pierced.
Qing Chen pauses the electromagnetic pulse. He puts the Shendai intelligence officer's communication button-style headset on his ear and confirms that there is nothing unusual before turning it off.
He takes out his phone and makes a call: "Okay, Little Seven and Xiao Wu can come over now."
The next moment, a black business car stops at the entrance of the villa area. The scientists in the villa, a family of 12, and 32 team members rush out, each carrying large and small bags.
Little Seven and Xiao Wu jump out of the business car, open the rear car door and whisper: "Come on, get in one by one. After getting in, jump out to the opposite car door, someone will catch you over there."
This Key Gate is directly opened on the car door. After everyone gets in the car, they don't need to stop, they can just go to the other side of the car and pass through the opposite car door.
Simple, brutal, and efficient.
44 people enter the vehicle one after another. It seems that the business car has squeezed in 44 people without any signs of overloading, and the tires haven't burst either. After everyone has gotten in, Little Seven and Xiao Wu exchange a smile, close the car door, and step on the gas pedal to leave.
Qing Chen calmly said: "This is the last batch. After you leave, go to the lower three districts to guide the Home Families to evacuate. Little Seven, you opened this door, you are responsible for closing it at the rear."
Little Seven pauses with his phone, then smiles brightly: "Leader, don't worry, I'll make sure all the families evacuate safely. It's just that we've just integrated the lower three districts, it's a bit of a pity to leave like this."
Qing Chen shakes his head: "The disaster in City 10 has exposed the Guardians' Union to the Conglomerate's vision, we have to leave. Next, each Conglomerate will launch a cleansing operation against the Guardians' Union. Okay, go."
"What about you, Leader? Aren't you leaving?" Little Seven curiously asked.
"I still need to see someone, and then I'll leave from the gate left by Kunlun," Qing Chen said before hanging up.
By now, Qing Chen has destroyed 47 surveillance points and evacuated a total of 490 people, which is even more exaggerated than what Zheng Yuandong did. And the most crucial point is that until now, the Eight-Forked organization hasn't even discovered that the 47 surveillance points are gone!
Qing Chen taps twice on the button-style communicator, opening the communication channel: "Daybreak greets everyone."
After speaking, he crushes the communicator, turns around and goes downstairs, walking towards District 4.
There is a commotion in the communication channel, and someone is roaring, demanding to find out what happened.
The Eight-Forked organization already knows what Zheng Yuandong did in City 23. They are still lucky that their own house was not stolen, but Daybreak swaggered in to show off its achievements.
Too arrogant!
District 4 is bustling with traffic.
Shendai Yunluo sits on the edge of the roof of a tall building. Next to him is a huge holographic projection device, colorful lights gather around him, and he drinks beer while overlooking the world. He is still wearing a white hunting robe, like a celestial being.
With a click, the small door on the roof behind him opens, and Qing Chen slowly walks over and sits down side by side.
"Have some?" Shendai Yunluo points to the beer next to him, there is a whole plastic bag.
Qing Chen shakes his head: "City 10 is in ruins, I can't drink the wine I owe you now."
"Then what are you here for?" Shendai Yunluo disdainfully said.
"To thank you. Without the surveillance points of the Eight-Forked intelligence organization you provided, I couldn't have taken away so many people so smoothly," Qing Chen said with a smile.
The reason why tonight's operation was so successful is because Shendai Yunluo accurately provided the addresses, allowing Qing Chen to find them one by one and kill all the intelligence personnel. Otherwise, if even one surveillance point transmits the news, the operation will be noticed by Shendai.
Qing Chen feels that his relationship with Shendai Yunluo is complicated. At first, they were enemies, but now they have cooperated countless times, and the other party even specially went to the southern battlefield to help him.
It's hard to tell whether they are enemies or friends.
When Master Li Xiurui recalled that Shendai friend, he also sighed, there aren't many black and white things in this world, there are good people in the Conglomerate, and bad people among the civilians. Do you need to look at a person's identity and background when making friends? If you can get drunk together for a day, then it's good to be friends for a day.
Qing Chen asked: "How are the injuries you suffered when you were shot down by Chen Yu?"
Shendai Yunluo's lips slightly curled up: "You're concerned about me?"
"After all, you were injured because you went to help me," Qing Chen explained, "If I didn't care, I'd be too inhumane."
"I didn't go to help you, I went for the eyeballs," Shendai Yunluo finished the can of beer in his hand, then burped.
Qing Chen sighed: "The Shendai young master, whom female stars are crazy about, even burps when drinking beer."
"Even fairies need to poop," Shendai Yunluo rolled his eyes, "My injuries are fine."
"Then you appeared on the battlefield, didn't the Shendai Consortium hold you accountable?" Qing Chen curiously asked.
"They did hold me accountable, six months of confinement, house arrest in my own residence," Shendai Yunluo said with a smile, "But who among those guarding me dares to attack me? I come out to drink every day and no one cares about me. Besides, the Shendai Consortium is busy flattering the foreigners, they don't have time to deal with me."
"That's good. By the way, what do you think about the collusion between Shendai and foreign forces?" Qing Chen asked.
"How can I not see it, this family is rotten to the core," Shendai Yunluo smiled, "As long as the big shots don't die, we junior members will have a hard time taking power, we can only live cautiously and carefully, lest we become the shells of some big shots. But I want to remind you, foreign forces are much larger than we imagined, they have been preparing for a long time, and they completed unification earlier than the Federation. The Federation's internal strife is too fierce, and now they have been split into two-fifths by them, and the Chen Family is not united, the Federation may not win this war."
Shendai Yunluo continued: "Fortunately, your two clever moves first caused a public opinion war and a strike in the north, and now there's a battle to snatch people, forcing Shendai and Koshima to withdraw some troops to protect their headquarters. This has given the Qing and Li families some breathing room. However, if the Chen Family is unwilling to send troops, then the defeat of the Federation is only a matter of time. One year, two years? At most three years."
When it comes to this matter, Qing Chen also becomes heavy.
At this time Shendai Yunluo continued: "Your wish to develop City 10 is good, but the problem is, when foreign forces are on the verge of invasion, whether City 10 can be preserved is a problem. The situation is different now, the other side only sent the first batch of vanguard troops, and they defeated the Qing Family and the Li Clan. If the next batch of reinforcements arrives, how can the Federation win? Let's have some drinks, you won't be so anxious after drinking."
"After talking for so long, is it just to persuade me to drink?" Qing Chen raised his eyebrows, "I can't drink."
"No fun," Shendai Yunluo drinks one can after another until he is completely drunk, stands up on the edge of the roof, walks back and forth like a tightrope walker, almost falling off the roof several times. Qing Chen pulls him back to save him.
"Can you be happy by drinking so much?" Qing Chen is puzzled, "Why are you acting crazy after drinking?"
Shendai Yunluo stands on the roof and glances at him: "Qing Chen, if you can still remain calm, not cry, not make trouble, not laugh, and not make phone calls after drinking, and finally remain sober and go home, how lonely that must be. This shows that no one has ever given way to you, no one has protected you, you can only learn to be strong yourself."
"Qing Chen, your body can't take alcohol, but your heart needs it. The person who is the clearest after drinking is the most painful."
At this time, the door to the roof opens, Shendai Kongyu, with her long black hair, appears on the roof in a black suit: "Yunluo, I'm here to take you home."
Shendai Yunluo looks at Qing Chen: "Remember you still owe me a drink."
After saying that, he stumbles away with Shendai Kongyu.
Leaving Qing Chen alone on the roof.
However, he doesn't leave, but plans to leave a surprise for the Shendai Consortium.
At 3:30 am, Qing Chen sneaks into the first district with headphones on. He casually climbs a tall building, and the headquarters of the Ittō-ryū inheritance's Xinjing Dojo is 2 kilometers away.
He looks up at the starry sky: "The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, it's perfect for killing."
Saying that, Qing Chen crawls on the edge of the roof of the tall building and sets up his Conquer with Virtue sniper rifle.
With a bang, the tungsten core armor-piercing projectile leaves the barrel and rushes towards the dark stake sentry post of the Xinjing Dojo.
Shot after shot, outside the Ittō-ryū's Xinjing Dojo, 12 sentries die one after another.
When the Shendai Consortium learns of this news, they are shocked!
They had just searched for Qing Chen for a long time, but Qing Chen had already left the scene and disappeared without a trace.
They thought Qing Chen was just showing off and running away, but they didn't expect this guy to make a comeback!
The next moment, the helmsman of the Ittō-ryū dojo immediately calls for Garrison Troops to surround the building where Qing Chen is located.
"Set up defenses! Block off the surrounding five kilometers to prevent him from using a parachute or glider to escape!"
"Bring in the Garrison Troops' armored vehicles, and surround that building!"
"Koshima just shared intelligence, their departure method must have someone close the gate at the end. He's alone now, we absolutely cannot let him escape again!"
"Deploy drones, helicopters, Airships!"
The Shendai members are hysterical, they cannot tolerate someone being so arrogant as to kill people in their own headquarters!
Shendai Garrison Troops surround Qing Chen densely, drones, helicopters, and Airships also rumble into the air.
The encirclement force is like a tidal wave, and the lights on the aircraft are like a starry river in the night sky.
Qing Chen seems to be unaware, pulling the trigger shot after shot. In just 20 minutes, he kills hundreds of people. He kills hundreds of Ittō-ryū inheritors and hundreds of Garrison Troops soldiers in the Shendai headquarters. This kind of thing, in the past, even Demi-Gods only dared to think about it.
After all, Demi-Gods are not made of iron, they will also die!
Seeing the Garrison Troops getting closer and closer, Qing Chen also hears the sound of armed helicopters' propellers.
He looks at the time.
Just right.

"Destroy the gate," Qing Chen calmly said.
In the Garrison Troops camp area, Xiao San swings his hammer and makes a loud bang on the frame of a wooden door.
The place where the Key Gate is opened will leave a 10-centimeter frame on the door. As long as this frame is broken, the Key Gate will be broken.
And those who enter through the Key Gate will instantly fall out of the Key Gate!
In other words, the starting point of this door is City 10, and Qing Chen went to City 20 through this door.
If this door is destroyed, then Qing Chen will fall back to City 10, the starting point.
In this world, there are no bugs that Qing Chen cannot exploit.
He is the master of exploiting bugs of this era!
In the night sky of City 20, Shendai's various encirclement forces have arrived, and the Metal Storm on the armed helicopters begins to spew fire!
At this moment, in the City 10 Garrison Troops camp area, there is a loud bang, like the sound of glass breaking.
Qing Chen on the roof disappears into thin air.
He disappears in plain sight, as if performing a shocking magic trick for thousands of Garrison Troops soldiers!
