Chapter 187 Why do these things all look so fresh and clean?
He was gambling—gambling on his own judgment, on the loyalty of his most trusted retainers, and on the sincerity of these outsiders in their cooperation.
The internal rifts within the Snake Clan have made it impossible for him to trust the vast organizational machine any longer.
Chu Zihang nodded without saying anything more.
At times like these, trust is no longer important; shared goals and current intelligence are the basis for action.
Fingel whistled and stretched his wrists:
"Are you finally going to get serious? Watching surveillance footage and checking accounts every day is making me feel rusty."
Bluebird quickly checked his equipment and encrypted the latest action plan, sending it back to Lu Mingfei in Tokyo.
"The operation was scheduled for 3 a.m., when the tide was lowest and the dock area was relatively quiet."
Genjiro began to deploy the specific plan, "Crow, you take two people and are responsible for blocking the land exits of this area. Yaksha, you are responsible for the water, bring sonar and thermal imaging to prevent them from escaping underwater or in small boats. Chu-kun, Fingel-kun, you two come with me to attack from the front. The goal is to find their hiding place, obtain key evidence, and capture key personnel alive if possible."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over Chu Zihang and Fingel:
"The enemy's combat strength is unknown, but they must have hybrids or even modified Deadpool guards. Don't hold back, but try to keep them alive, especially those who look like researchers or leaders."
"clear."
Chu Zihang's words were concise and to the point.
"No problem, I guarantee I'll beat them so badly their own mothers wouldn't recognize them, but I'll leave them alive."
Fingel grinned, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Peninsula Hotel, Tokyo.
Lu Mingfei received the action briefing from Qingniao almost simultaneously.
Genjiro's decision to launch a desperate attack was exactly what he had anticipated.
The young master has been cornered by a series of recent events and must turn the tide with a decisive victory and cleanse the filth within.
But the risks are equally enormous.
The opponent is cunning and well-prepared. The dock area has a complex terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is also territory that the opponent has been operating in for many years. Who knows what traps are hidden there?
Although I have full confidence in Chu Zihang and Finger, Japan is such a strange place that we must be on guard!
Lu Mingfei quickly replied: "Operation approved. Keep communication open; I will monitor remotely. In case of any abnormalities or force majeure, safe evacuation is the top priority. If necessary, call for off-site support."
His so-called off-court support naturally refers to himself.
After putting down the communicator, Lu Mingfei walked to the window and looked southwest.
As night deepened, the lights of Tokyo obscured the bloodshed and fire that might erupt in Osaka in the distance.
He thought of Erii, wondering where Natsumi and the others had taken that girl to go crazy again tonight.
Hopefully, I won't cause any trouble or distract him.
And then there's Uesugi Kotsu… Lu Mingfei's eyes flickered slightly.
This last film emperor has been making frequent moves lately, seemingly gathering power in secret and subtly forming a confrontation with Tachibana Masamune's faction.
Is this old emperor preparing to reclaim the land he has lost?
He initially had a fairly good impression of this guy, but after looking at his profile these past few days...
We can only say that we should wait and see for now.
Osaka Port, destination dock area, 2:55 AM.
The night was dark and windy, thick clouds obscured the starlight, and only the halo of light from large cargo ships and port lighthouses in the distance cast blurry reflections on the dark sea.
The damp, salty sea breeze whistled through the gaps in the forest of containers, masking the slightest noises.
Chu Zihang, Finger, Qingniao, and Yuan Zhisheng joined Yuan Zhisheng's six-person elite squad.
This is the last team he can trust; they were all trained by him.
Nine men, dressed in dark special operations uniforms and well-equipped, with camouflage paint on their faces, silently infiltrated the labyrinthine storage yard of the dock area, like silhouettes emerging from the night.
According to previous reconnaissance reports from the Raven and Yaksha squads, the target warehouse area was unusually quiet, but thermal imaging showed that multiple life heat sources were gathered inside and moving in a regular pattern, clearly indicating that it was not empty.
The land and water exits have been quietly blocked.
The operation unfolded in silent, tacit understanding.
Approaching the target warehouse at a distance of about thirty meters, Chu Zihang raised his hand again.
His gaze swept over several inconspicuous ventilation openings and broken windows on the side wall of the warehouse, and he whispered:
"There's an infrared sensor, and... a faint electrical hum, possibly from a vibration sensor or pressure sensor. A direct frontal assault would trigger an alarm."
Yuan Zhisheng's eyes turned cold.
The fact that the opponent had indeed deployed modern security measures further confirmed their organized nature.
"Crow, report on the situation outside."
Yuan Zhisheng pressed down on the earpiece.
"Young Master, there are no abnormalities on the perimeter. No signs of reinforcements or evacuation have been detected," came the raven's voice.
"Yaksha?"
"The water is calm, and no underwater vehicles or speedboats have been detected starting up," Yaksha responded.
The other party seemed unaware of their arrival.
“Change the plan,” Yuan Zhisheng decided immediately, pointing to an abandoned tower crane control platform on higher ground at the side and rear of the warehouse.
"Sakura and Bluebird, occupy the high ground and provide vision and fire cover. Chu Jun, Finger Jun, we will split into three groups and simultaneously infiltrate through the ventilation ducts, side windows, and backup entrances, creating a time difference to finish the battle before they can react and concentrate their defenses. Remember, the primary objective is to control the central hub, obtain data, and capture key personnel alive."
Chu Zihang nodded and pointed to a high-positioned ventilation opening: "I'll enter from there."
Fingel stretched his neck and pointed to a small maintenance door on the side that looked sealed off but had a rusted lock: "I'll go this way and watch me demonstrate a silent infiltration for you bosses."
Genjiro himself chose a broken window near the main entrance as his entry point.
Like nimble cats, Qingniao and Ying silently climbed onto the rusty tower crane's control panel, set up a high-precision sniper observation scope with night vision and thermal fusion capabilities, and instantly covered the entire warehouse area and its surroundings.
"Get in position."
"Get in position."
"action."
At Genjiro's command, the three figures moved simultaneously like ghosts!
With his agile movements, Chu Zihang used the shadow and angle of the container to climb almost vertically onto the outer wall of the warehouse. His fingers precisely gripped the edge of the ventilation grille, and with a slight exertion, the seemingly sturdy grille was silently removed by him, and he flashed inside.
Fingel's situation was even more bizarre. He used some unknown method to easily pry open the rusted repair door lock as if it were a toy, without making the slightest metallic scraping sound.
He slid in sideways, his movements so light and agile that they were unlike his usual style.
Yuan Zhisheng was more violent and direct. When he approached the broken window, a golden light flashed in his eyes. He gently pressed his finger on a certain spot on the windowsill, and with a skillful force, he shattered the remaining glass shards and the alarm wires that might be connected inside. Then he climbed over and went inside.
The three men's infiltration was completed almost simultaneously, demonstrating astonishing execution.
From its vantage point high above, the bluebird kept a close eye on the thermal imaging screen while simultaneously reporting rapidly via an encrypted channel:
"The heat source is concentrated in the central area of the warehouse, which is isolated... Note that there are two heat sources moving in the southeast corner, possibly patrolling... There are three people gathered near the main entrance, possibly a command post..."
However, just as the three successfully infiltrated the warehouse and had not yet made contact with the enemy—
A sudden change occurred!
Deep inside the warehouse, instead of the expected panic or fierce resistance, there was a low, strange rustling sound, like countless insects crawling and rubbing together, accompanied by the dripping of some liquid and heavy, inhuman breathing!
Immediately afterwards, in the Bluebird's observation lens, some of the light spots representing the heat source of life suddenly began to twist, deform, and even... split apart violently?!
"Something's wrong!"
The bluebird's voice was urgent, "The heat source inside the warehouse is acting strangely! Something... is activating! It's not an ordinary guard!"
Almost at the same moment she issued her warning, the lights inside the warehouse suddenly came on!
It wasn't normal lighting, but a stark, blinding white, operating room-like shadowless lamp!
Under the lights, what greeted the eyes of Chu Zihang, Fingel, and Yuan Zhisheng, who had just landed, was a scene that would drive an ordinary person to the brink of mental collapse:
The center of the warehouse has been transformed into a simple but fully functional laboratory area, filled with various instruments and culture tanks.
But at this moment, what attracted their full attention were the monsters that "emerged" from the shadows, from the culture tanks, and even from under the trapdoor in the floor!
Some of them can still be identified as human mutations, like the "snake people" seen in the abandoned laboratory, but most of them are twisted forms never seen before.
Some resemble giant, multi-segmented insects and humans spliced together, their carapaces shimmering with an eerie light.
Some were bloated, slimy lumps of flesh, with countless wildly rotating eyes on their surface.
Others are simply like a puddle of shadow that can move on its own, covered in suction cups and sharp teeth...
This is seriously damaging my sanity!
Even Fingel frowned, which shows just how disgusting these guys were!
They are clearly not natural products, but rather the masterpiece of some kind of insane genetic engineering.
At this moment, they were activated by some signal or mechanism, like sharks that smelled blood, and turned in unison towards the intruder, emitting a terrifying noise mixed with roars, shrieks and friction sounds. Their golden eyes burned with a pure desire for destruction under the pale light.
This is not a simple hiding place or transit point at all!
This is a trap!
A death trap that uses these modified monsters as guards and killing machines!
The other party had anticipated that they might be tracked here, and may have even deliberately left some clues to lure them here!
"Annihilate them all!"
Genji shouted sharply, Spider Cutter already in hand, the blade reflecting his cold and resolute face.
The emperor's bloodline pressure was released without reservation, attempting to intimidate these inhuman beings, but its effect seemed limited on these monsters who seemed to have completely lost their minds and were driven only by instinct or some kind of command.
Chu Zihang's Village Rain emitted a clear and melodious sound, the blade pointing at the nearest lunging, multi-eyed lump of flesh, his gaze unwavering.
Fingel also abandoned all his cynicism, and a strangely shaped longsword appeared in his hand at some point, his eyes sharp as an eagle's.
The bluebird took a deep breath from its high position, slightly adjusted the muzzle of its sniper rifle, pulled back the bolt, and loaded the explosive mercury bullet into the chamber.
She knew that ordinary bullets might not be very effective against these monsters, but these sniper bullets were enough to kill these high-level Deadpools!
The battle, amidst the nauseating roars of deformed monsters and the whistling of weapons cutting through the air, instantly reached a fever pitch!
