In the Jinghai Cemetery, dozens of men in black formed a formation that made ordinary people afraid to approach. Many people who came to visit the tombs were guessing what kind of important figure was buried there.
Zheng Yubai and Zhang Daosheng walked side by side to the tombstone and bowed respectfully. The tombstone was made very simply, with nothing but the name "Wang Gensheng" on it. How could a tombstone possibly bear the life of a one-armed old man? Besides, a person who looked down on the world like him would not care about the evaluation of people after his death.
After the mourning, Zheng Yubai and Zhang Daosheng walked aside and watched people of all kinds coming to pay their respects. Although some of them covered their faces with hats and sunglasses, Zheng Yubai still found that some of them often appeared on TV.
"These people are Uncle Wang's grandchildren, and some of their fathers were promoted by Uncle Wang." Zhang Daosheng seemed to understand Zheng Yubai's doubts and explained softly.
"Then why does Uncle Wang still live in the safe apartment?" Zheng Yubai asked.
"Others are in safe apartments to avoid disasters, but Uncle Wang is avoiding favors. Sometimes, favors are more vicious than knives, and they kill people without blinking an eye." Zhang Daosheng said indifferently. He is already over 50 years old, and has crossed more bridges than Zheng Yubai has walked. Naturally, his words carry some understanding of life that Zheng Yubai cannot yet comprehend.
After checking the one-armed old man's body half a month ago, just as Zhang Daosheng expected, the old man's physical condition deteriorated rapidly in just half a month. Even if Zhang Daosheng's healing touch prolonged his life, it would be useless. The old man seemed to have completely seen through life and death, and refused to allow Zhang Daosheng to treat him again. Three days ago, the one-armed old man passed away, ending his vigorous and legendary life.
Zheng Yubai didn't know what other property the one-armed old man had left for the world. He only knew that it was under the old man's experience that Zhang Daosheng was able to complete his conjecture about the origin of the aliens. Although this conjecture was not necessarily true, it was at least a bold and reasonable assumption.
Human beings have developed for millions of years, and it is difficult to verify what happened in the past and how it happened. Today, people can only select some valuable evidence to make inferences. Due to insufficient evidence, such inferences are often far away from the topic or even run counter to the original. However, this is after all an effort by humans to challenge the limits of wisdom, and it still has certain value.
Although it is still unclear where the aliens came from, where they are going is a question that Zhang Daosheng, Zheng Yubai and even all the aliens want to figure out.
Coming out of the cemetery, Zheng Yubai looked up at the slightly gray sky in Jinghai. A gust of wind blew by, and it was going to rain.
The rain in Jinghai started suddenly, and soon the sky became gloomy, foreshadowing the arrival of a thunderstorm.
"I'll go back to the Superman Association first. I'm a little tired these two days." Zhang Daosheng's face was not very good. He had been guarding the spirit of the one-armed old man these days, which was considered as what a younger generation should do.
Zheng Yubai saw Zhang Daosheng off and wanted to hail a taxi, but the rain had already started falling and the rain was getting heavier. Zheng Yubai hurriedly ran to a nearby convenience store to take shelter from the rain.
Many people gathered in the convenience store to avoid the rain. Some were selecting products. Zheng Yubai also came to the beverage counter to buy a bottle of water. As he was carrying the water, the door opened and two men came in mumbling in English.
The voice was very familiar, causing Zheng Yubai to look back, and he happened to see the brothers Gold and Silver Cufflinks walking in. The two were talking while shaking off the rain on their heads. Their attention was focused on the heavy rain outside, and they did not notice Zheng Yubai's presence.
Zheng Yubai quietly hid himself behind a row of shelves and eavesdropped on their conversation with his ears perked up.
"This damn weather is so annoying. I don't understand why we have to come here to suffer. I want to go back to the United States." Silver Cufflinks, that is, Henry Miller said.
"Shh, keep your voice down. If Fang and Matthews hear us, you and I will be in big trouble." David Miller with gold cufflinks seemed to be frightened by his brother's words and looked around vigilantly.
"I don't understand why we don't go back to the United States quickly. Livingston and the others must be dead. Even if they are not dead, will they be released?" Henry Miller said angrily. He didn't care that someone around him might understand English. After all, even if they could understand English, they wouldn't know what he meant.
Unfortunately, walls have ears, and Zheng Yubai heard it clearly from behind the shelf. The Special Affairs Administration had conducted carpet searches in Jinghai several times, but had never found any traces of the American aliens. Unexpectedly, nearly a month later, Zheng Yubai accidentally encountered them in a convenience store. This was really a coincidence.
"There is no other way. We have to wait for the loach's leg to heal. I think we can kill Zheng Yubai and return home in half a month." David Miller shrugged his shoulders and lowered his voice. However, Zheng Yubai's Xingyiquan skills have trained his hearing ability far beyond that of ordinary people. Although David Miller's voice was barely audible, he still heard it clearly.
"Sure enough, they still won't give up." Zheng Yubai was already used to being a target, so he wasn't surprised at all. He had to deal with these daring aliens who were trying to create chaos in Jinghai anyway, so since they were coming to him, that couldn't be better.
As we were talking, the rain outside became lighter and turned into a drizzle. The weather in Jinghai is like this. Thunderstorms are often violent for only a moment and will soon pass, and then the sun will shine again. If it is a continuous drizzle, it may last for a whole day, leaving people with an lingering melancholy.
The Miller brothers saw that the rain had subsided a lot, so they didn't wait any longer and hurried out of the store. Zheng Yubai quickly followed them out, trailing behind them from a distance.
Zheng Yubai was not good at tracking, but the Miller brothers were too cowardly. They only kept mumbling something along the way and did not notice that they were being followed. The three of them walked through several streets, two in front of one another, and the Miller brothers finally arrived in front of a villa area and walked in.
This is the most upscale villa area in Jinghai. There is a mature commercial area nearby. It is known as the city's back garden. The housing prices here have been rising since ten years ago, and now have reached a sky-high price of 100,000 yuan per square meter. The villas here cost 40 to 50 million yuan, which is not affordable for ordinary people. Therefore, the people who live here are all the powerful people in Jinghai in the early years.
"No wonder we didn't find their traces before." Zheng Yubai thought to himself. Although the Special Affairs Management Bureau has great power, they don't have the right to search the places where some dignitaries live. Especially in this kind of community, the supporting facilities are complete and the privacy is very strong. If the American aliens live in the community all the time and don't come out, no one will find them.
However, man proposes, God disposes. If the Miller brothers had not come out this time and had not encountered heavy rain, I am afraid that their plan to assassinate Zheng Yubai would not have been exposed until they launched it. But now, their residence has been discovered by Zheng Yubai, and the only thing left is to catch the turtle in the jar.
At night, the security guards in the villa area still kept their eyes wide open and observed the surrounding movements. They stood at the gate like javelins. As security guards here, each of them received three times the salary of security guards in other communities, so they naturally had to be three times more alert. That night, there were a total of sixty such security guards keeping alert in the not-so-large villa area, which showed the importance the community attached to safety and privacy.
At a fence on the west side, a security guard just passed by and a row of heads appeared outside. One of them picked up a tool and gently pinched the iron fence, and the fence broke immediately. He did the same thing and soon created a hole that a burly man could enter and exit.
This group of people quietly slipped into the community through the cave and lay in ambush. A moment later, when the security guard came over for patrol again, they jumped up and knocked him unconscious to the ground.
The intruders were very familiar with every plant and tree in the community, just like their own backyard. They either ambushed the security guards on patrol routes and knocked them out one by one, or tampered with the lines of some security systems. There were obviously a few computer experts among them who connected their strange instruments to the security system, and the monitors immediately malfunctioned. The images seen in the monitoring room were all replaced with the images of peace and tranquility that they had replaced long ago.
Before they knew it, except for a few security guards at the gate, all other security guards were knocked down. And dozens of people entered from the hole. They walked lightly and cautiously, slowly approaching a villa in the center of the community. This villa has three floors and is the largest building in the villa area. It is surrounded by open grass, which is not only pleasing to the eye, but also can be detected immediately if someone approaches. Although there is no light in the villa, Zheng Yubai, who came in with a large group of people, believes that as long as someone steps on the surrounding grass, the people in the villa will wake up. Because the people living in the villa are not ordinary people, but a group of aliens from the United States.
Soon, several security guards at the gate were knocked unconscious, and the community was completely controlled by the Special Affairs Management Bureau. For this operation, Leng Tie mobilized 300 elite men. In the nearby streets, there were 300 elite special forces on standby, and snipers had long been deployed on the surrounding high-rise buildings, and even helicopters were on standby. No matter how powerful the aliens in the villa were, they would not be able to escape this time.
"The Miller brothers are good at controlling shadows, but their abilities are limited and they can't be used in large-scale battles. The superpower of the loach, whose real name is Edward, is a particularly slippery skin, but it probably can't slide away bullets. Lan Ruo'er's superpower is spiritual song hypnosis, but without amplification equipment, it is difficult for her to put up an effective resistance. Matthews is the leader of this group of aliens. His superpower is blaster. Last time, he was injured by a stray bullet before he could show his power. This time he is a person who needs special attention. The most threatening alien is Fernandez. This person has a pair of very strange green pupils and can emit corrosive rays. Last time, he killed and injured several agents. He is the most dangerous person. Once found, kill him immediately."
The above words were Leng Tie's instructions when the agents of the Special Affairs Administration set out. The four captured aliens did not care about the friendship of their colleagues at all, and after being "entertained" by Leng Tie, they told all their secrets.
Zheng Yubai had already memorized this information, but he was most concerned about Fang Hongjin. Although this guy had no superpowers and a broken leg, Zheng Yubai always felt that he was the most dangerous person.
"Move!" Seeing that the entire villa had been surrounded by agents, Leng Tie finally gave the order. As soon as his order came out, 300 agents jumped up and rushed towards the villa in three deep lines from all directions.
There was an immediate response in the villa. A gunshot "bang" shocked the silent night. An agent who was charging fell backwards. Although he was wearing a bulletproof vest, he was shot through the center of his forehead and his life was taken away in an instant.
The loss of a comrade at the very beginning of the operation immediately aroused the anger of the agents, who fired back without hesitation. In just a few seconds, all the windows of the villa were broken, and screams were heard amid the flying glass shards.
The agents covered each other and approached the villa. They were only thirty steps away in a flash. Some of them immediately started to knock on the door, and others threw tear gas into the room. No one shouted for the people inside to surrender, because Leng Tie told them: if they could catch them alive, it would be good. If not, they would just be shot.
With a loud bang, a wall collapsed. Three agents standing outside the wall were knocked over by the falling wall. Matthews rushed out from behind the flying dust, his arms red, a sign of the superpowered blaster.
There were two agents not far from Matthews. When they saw Matthews rushing out, they subconsciously raised their guns to shoot. But just as they raised their guns, they felt as if a huge rock was pressing on their arms and they couldn't lift them. What surprised them even more was that the shadows cast on the ground by the street lamps actually changed. A dark mass broke out of their shadows and turned into a ferocious wolf, which turned back and bit their shadows.
"Wow!" The two agents felt a sharp pain as if their heads were bitten off, which made them unable to lift their guns. They could only hold their heads and groan.
Behind Matthews, the Miller brothers withdrew their hands, a little out of breath.
"Follow me out!" Matthews shouted angrily.
"Where's Fang? Why aren't he and Lan here?" Fernandez appeared beside Matthews, along with Mudfish, whose leg injury had just healed. The five remaining aliens were all here, and behind them were the five men of the villa owner. Although these people didn't have superpowers, they had weapons with very strong firepower, which could help them break out.
"We can't care about him. If we're late, we'll all die here." Seeing the tear gas in the villa getting stronger and stronger, Matthews knew he couldn't delay any longer. His arms turned redder and he rushed out first. Fernandez followed closely behind him, his green pupils sparkling, and the corrosive rays were ready to take someone's life at any time.
The agents had already discovered that the aliens were planning to break out, so they quickly mobilized the main force. The aliens rushed in front, and behind them were the heavy firepower machine guns, which made the agents feel a little tired. Fortunately, the snipers who had been arranged long ago played a role. Although they were a thousand meters away, they still hit the target in the dark. After a few gunshots, several gunmen fell down one after another, and none of them were spared.
Matthews was not stupid. When he found out that the other side had a sniper, he immediately shouted, "Scatter! Spread out! Run in a Z formation."
The Miller brothers immediately separated as if they had been electrocuted, their upper bodies swaying back and forth. But after another gunshot, David Miller fell to the ground, and the bullet in his forehead made him never wake up again.
A sniper on a building 800 meters away ejected his bullet and laughed, "Idiot, do you think you are playing a shooting game?"
Henry Miller died five seconds later than his brother. The presence of these snipers greatly shocked Matthews and Fernandez. They rushed towards the agents like crazy. They knew that only by blending in with the enemy could they minimize the threat of snipers. As for the slippery-skinned loach, he was very aware of his inconvenience in legs and feet. He cleverly knelt down on the ground with his knees softened, raised his hands high, and surrendered.
After Mudfish did this, no one bothered to attack him. The agents focused their attention on Matthews and Fernandez, but both of them had extremely powerful superpowers, and the agents were unconsciously pulled into a fan shape by them. They didn't dare to shoot at each other for fear of hurting their companions. This gave Matthews and Fernandez a lot of space. The two broke through the three lines of defense of the agents as if they were in an empty space, and there was no obstacle in front of them.
"Bang, bang, bang!" A volley of gunfire sounded. Matthews looked at the row of bullet holes on his chest in disbelief and fell down without a sound.
Behind the agents, the special forces sharpshooters who had been ambushed at some point opened fire. Matthews's red arms were simply the best targets, and all the bullets went between his arms, riddling him like a sieve.
Fernandez still wanted to resist, but was shot several times in the back. The agents and special forces attacked him from the front and back, and sent this alien with corrosive green eyes to see God.
This melee actually lasted less than two minutes, but it seemed as long as a century. Except for the loach who was captured, all other aliens were killed. However, Fang Hongjin and Lan Ruoer never showed up.
Leng Tie, who was in command, looked around and found that one person was missing.
"Where is Yu Bai?" Leng Tie looked at the interior of the villa filled with tear gas, wondering.
When the gunfire broke out outside, Zheng Yubai had already sneaked into the villa. He was wearing a gas mask and infrared night vision goggles on his head, so he didn't have to worry about the effects of tear gas.
When Matthews broke through the wall and tried to break out, Zheng Yubai's heart moved. He did not follow the main force to intercept the aliens, but entered the villa. Based on his understanding of Fang Hongjin, Zheng Yubai was sure that this treacherous guy would never risk his life to break out with the aliens.
The room was filled with tear gas, and the diffuse smoke not only blocked people's vision, but also made people unable to breathe and kept crying. Generally speaking, normal people could not hide in such an environment, but Zheng Yubai heard a strange sound amid the chaotic gunfire outside the room.
Somewhere on the second floor, there was a sound, and rustling footsteps were going somewhere downstairs. Zheng Yubai listened keenly to this series of sounds and judged that they were the footsteps of two people.
"Sure enough..." Zheng Yubai followed the voice and tiptoed over.
A figure staggered down the stairs on the second floor. He lay on the ground, looking into the smoke around him, and made sure that no one was nearby before waving.
Another figure landed, closely following the person in front. Without stopping, the two immediately moved towards a door in the corner. The person in front punched the door open, and the two went in one after the other.
Zheng Yubai could see everything clearly in the thick fog, and he immediately followed. There was a staircase in the door, leading to the basement. Zheng Yubai's heart trembled. Before planning the siege, he had seen the building plan obtained by Leng Tie, and there was no such basement on the plan.
"Is there any secret way to escape?" Zheng Yubai saw that the two dark shadows had disappeared around the corner, so he hurriedly controlled his footsteps and followed.
The basement was not big, only about a dozen square meters, and behind a half-opened door in the corner was an underground tunnel. If Zheng Yubai had not sneaked into the villa, it would probably take until the smoke in the house cleared before anyone would have discovered the tunnel. But by that time, the person would have probably already escaped and not even his shadow could be seen.
The tunnel was not high, and the width was a bit narrow for the tall and strong Zheng Yubai, but this did not stop his speed. He slightly exerted his energy and used the bone shrinking technique, shrinking his body abruptly, and could move forward very smoothly.
The footsteps in front were chaotic and hurried. Although Zheng Yubai moved very lightly and did not make any sound, his speed was very fast. He approached the target quickly and was not discovered by the people in front.
"Brother Hongjin, is your leg okay?" Lan Ruoer's voice suddenly came from the front.
It turned out to be Fang Hongjin and Lan Ruoer. This was within Zheng Yubai's expectations.
Fang Hongjin's voice came from the front again.
"It doesn't matter, I can still hold on. But sooner or later, I will avenge Zheng Yubai for today's revenge!" Despite being in such a dangerous situation, Fang Hongjin was still obsessed with revenge, which shows that he hated Zheng Yubai to the core.
"No need to wait until later, I'm here." Zheng Yubai no longer hid his identity and shouted.
Fang Hongjin and Lan Ruoer in front suddenly stopped, looked back, their faces filled with shock.
"You..." Fang Hongjin obviously didn't know how Zheng Yubai caught up with him. He put his palms in front of his chest, filled with fear and astonishment.
Zheng Yubai saw that Fang Hongjin's broken leg had not yet healed, otherwise the footsteps would not have been so heavy. Baguazhang required flexibility in footsteps, but this place was not only narrow, but Fang Hongjin was also injured. The outcome of this battle was known without even having to fight.
Zheng Yubai approached step by step. Fang Hongjin's face turned pale. Seeing Zheng Yubai approaching, he suddenly dodged behind Lan Ruoer, pushed her to Zheng Yubai, and turned to run away. He didn't care about his injured leg, and this time he ran faster than a rabbit.
Even though he knew that Fang Hongjin was a scum, Zheng Yubai didn't expect that he would use a woman as a shield. When Lan Ruoer's petite body bumped into him, he was stunned.
The delicate body was in his arms, and even though it was in a dangerous place, there was a burst of fragrance. When Zheng Yubai woke up and pushed Lan Ruoer away, Fang Hongjin had already run away without a trace.
Just as he was about to take a step to chase her, he suddenly heard Lan Ruo'er's low singing voice beside him. Zheng Yubai's mind was confused and he secretly said that it was not good. (To be continued)
