Twenty minutes later.
Cheng Jinyang couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed.
Originally, it was just Miss Wang going together with us, but how did the other three girls from the Five Great Families tag along?
"Well, we were just idle anyway," Li Qingwan chuckled, "I hope we don't cause you any trouble."
"It's me who's benefiting from this," Cheng Jinyang quickly replied politely.
Look at that, with the Five Great Families helping out, my prestige is really growing.
With the team temporarily expanded to eight people, Cheng Jinyang hailed two taxis.
He, Ah Zhi, Miss Qingqing, and Xiao Wangshu in one car, and Miss Wang with the other three girls in the second car. It's not that Miss Wang was slightly inferior in terms of closeness, but because the other girls didn't have much contact with Cui Jinqi and the others.
I couldn't just go over and squeeze in with them, right?
The group soon arrived at the Wujiang Industrial Zone. Located on the outskirts of Wujiang Town, the land here is cheap, so it mostly consists of small private enterprises hiring migrant workers rather than synthetics, to do low-value-added production tasks.
Because of the numerous miscellaneous people, it's very suitable for the Longxiang Army's spies to infiltrate. After receiving secret intelligence reports, the court quickly dispatched Tian Luo to carry out a purge.
After getting out of the car and approaching the entrance of the park, they immediately attracted the attention of the guard.
"Are you visitors?" the guard ran over from the guard booth and asked, "Do you have an appointment?"
"No," Cheng Jinyang pulled out his credentials, "We're from the Tian Luo, clear the way for us!"
The guard was slightly startled, then quickly raised his hands and crouched down, showing he had no weapons—If the feared Tian Luo assassins were dispatched and they didn't cooperate and got killed, there would be no one to blame.
Chu Qingqing waved her hand, and the nearby railing turned into liquid, climbed up her wrist, and solidified into the shape of handcuffs, locking the guard's arm, then gestured for him to return to his booth and hide.
"What's next?" Li Qingwan asked with interest, "Just charge in?"
"Let's temporarily..." Cheng Jinyang was about to say "temporarily not make a big fuss", when Chu Qingqing suddenly shouted:
"Sniper!"
Before he could finish his sentence, a sniper bullet was already hovering in front of them, as if caught in some invisible barrier, slowing down rapidly as it spun with sparks. Zheng Qiupai raised her arm, palm facing outward, using her ability to resist the impact of the sniper bullet.
Spiritual Impact: Lapis Barrier.
It creates an invisible wall of psychic force, resisting any object attempting to pass through it, the faster the object, the greater the resistance.
Xing Yuanzhi's Light Body Technique algorithm followed suit, making everyone feel much lighter on their feet. Li Qingwan dashed out first, moving like a demon, in the blink of an eye, she reached the bottom of the building, then grabbed onto the protrusion on the facade, swiftly leaping and climbing up to the second floor.
Cheng Jinyang had already activated the Qiong Biluo algorithm, soaring high into the sky, taking in the entire park at a glance.
"Fourth floor!" he saw a flash of a gun barrel on the fourth floor, obviously the sniper missed, and was moving to another position.
Below, Chu Qingqing shouted loudly, and the metal spear quickly extended and shot out, piercing straight into the window of the fourth floor.
Li Qingwan, who had already climbed to the third floor, rebounded from the wall, grabbed the metal spear, flipped onto its shaft, and swiftly maneuvered across it, entering the window within half a second.
Gunshots rang out as two figures flew out of the window. The sniper holding a rifle plummeted downward, swiftly dispatched by Li Qingwan, his neck snapped upon impact.
Standing over his body, Li Qingwan, with two bullet holes in her chest and bloodstains, emotionlessly reached in, plucked out the bloody bullets, and casually tossed them aside, remarking, "The sniper's position was a trap, with two ambush gunmen inside, crossfire interception..."
"Are you alright?" Cheng Jinyang descended, observing her nonchalant demeanor, concern evident in his voice.
"I'm fine, just a scratch," Li Qingwan waved it off.
Cheng Jinyang: .....
F*ck, two bullets lodged in her body, just a scratch!
"The physical reactivation of the Longxi Li family ensures that unless vital areas are hit, there won't be significant harm," Xing Yuanzhi explained, "At higher levels, they can even regenerate severed limbs."
"Exactly," Li Qingwan smiled, "I just need a moment to rest."
Automatic healing? Cheng Jinyang suddenly had an idea.
Hey, isn't that possible...
Realizing he was letting his thoughts wander, he quickly soared back into the sky, scanning the entire compound from above.
Meanwhile, Yang Wangshu continued to spread electromagnetic waves, detecting any lurking enemies on the ground.
On the other hand, Chu Qingqing unleashed a metal wave, swirling around the group to fend off potential attacks.
"You don't need to defend anymore," Wang Wanrou suddenly spoke up, "With Xiaopei's spiritual impact here, even sniper bullets won't reach us. You can go all out."
"Really?" Miss Qingqing's eyes lit up.
To be honest, given her personality, she much preferred attacking over defending. It was only because the team lacked better defensive measures that she had to use her abilities to maintain defense.
Since Miss Wang said so, she excitedly shouted, "Yuanzhi, let's go!" and dashed out alone.
"Is this alright?" Cui Jinqi couldn't help but ask, "Letting them go out alone, what if there are enemy ambushes..."
"We have reconnaissance," Wang Wanrou replied succinctly.
Yang Wangshu proudly puffed her chest, saying, "Of course, you know radar works on electromagnetic waves, right? Our Hongnong Yang family has been researching electromagnetic wave detection for over sixty years, earning the nickname 'Human Radar' in the industry."
Li Qingwan and Zheng Qiupei smiled but said nothing. They were well aware of the role of "signal current" and that any synthetic person equipped with radar detection equipment could easily replace a member of the Yang family who hadn't reached the fifth grade.
The truly remarkable aspect of the Hongnong Yang family lay in the ability to emit strong electricity after reaching the fifth grade, stepping into the realm of the "Thunderbolt Dharma King" - with thunder in hand, evil spirits are easily dispelled.
Of course, there was no need to reveal these insights to Xiao Wangshu. The two women just smiled and said, "We've long heard of the renown of the Hongnong Yang family's signal current. It's fantastic to have you in our team, Wangshu. With you here, the enemy's distribution and movements can't escape us."
"Of course!" Being praised by the two women of the Five Great Families simultaneously, Yang Wangshu became even more enthusiastic and began directing through the communicator:
"Listen up, Sister Ah Zhi! Proceed forward, then turn right, and go all the way down before another right turn. There are several gunmen lurking there. Oh, and it seems there's a protrusion in the wall corner, suspected to be anti-personnel mines. Remember to deal with it beforehand. There are also automated turrets hanging upside down above the gunmen; I suggest detonating them with Thunderclap in advance..."
