Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Just as Su Guowei was in a daze, a mercenary raised his gun and was about to shoot. Fortunately, Zhao Tianbao was the first to shoot. “Big Brother, can we still fight?”
Facing Zhao Tianbao’s question, Su Guowei skillfully changed the magazine. “Nonsense. Are you sleepy?”
Su Guowei was no longer a farmer in that small mountain village. Perhaps to him, this long-lost feeling allowed him to find his old self from many years ago. When he raised his gun again, although he no longer had a legitimate identity, he was still fighting for ‘protection’.
This was undoubtedly a form of redemption for him.
The gunshots on the battlefield became softer and softer. Most of the mercenaries had become cold corpses. The rest were resisting stubbornly. The assassins in the dark were constantly being found.
With the addition of that armed force, the defeat of the mercenaries was greatly accelerated. Looking at them, Su Guowei seemed to see his former self. Therefore, even though this team did not have any signs, he could still determine their identities at a glance.
There was no substantial communication between the two sides from the beginning to the end. These soldiers did not know who Mountain Condor was. Their orders were only to eliminate all the enemy targets and ensure that the ancient tomb was not harmed. As for Su Guowei and the others, they were not within their range of action.
Even so, Xu Jiajia and the team members still hid in the forest again during this period. It couldn’t be helped. After all, they couldn’t see the light of day. Under any circumstances, they couldn’t change this fact.
Before Su Yun entered the ancient tomb and was about to disconnect the signal, he had already told Xu Jiajia what he was going to do next.
After confirming that Su Yun was fine and that this crisis was about to end, Xu Jiajia led the team members in peace and prepared to use her own method to change her identity before returning legally.
However, neither Su Guowei nor Xu Jiajia knew that there was another person from the mysterious research institute among the fleeing mercenaries. This person was the person who briefly appeared beside Divine Gun after the tanks came. His code name was Hermes.
Such an artistic code name perfectly illustrated this person’s personality. In Greek mythology, Hermes was the patron saint of bandits and robbers, also known as the treacherous god. Just like this nickname, this person was sinister and cunning.
For example, in the battle just now, he had long hidden in a safe place and secretly observed the changes in the battle. The moment he saw Divine Gun die, not only was Hermes not sad at all, but he was also overjoyed.
Divine Gun had been oppressing him, preventing him from having any chance to climb up. However, this opportunity had clearly come.
Hermes quickly fled to a secret stronghold nearby. This stronghold was very hidden. The two tanks from before were transferred from here. The moment he returned to the stronghold, Hermes began to try to contact the headquarters.
Due to the death of Divine Gun, Hermes had automatically advanced and replaced Divine Gun according to the internal rules of the organization.
The screen in front of him quickly began to flicker. Then, in a dark environment, a virtual back projection appeared. Even though the other party was only a virtual image and not a real person, Hermes quickly lowered his head in respect. “Mr. X, Divine Gun failed and was sacrificed on the battlefield. The operation at the Tomb of Chi You failed.”
When he said this, Hermes even used a very sad tone. It was obvious that he was sinister. What Hermes did not expect was that the news of the operation failing did not seem to anger Mr. X. He never said it, so Hermes couldn’t guess what Mr. X was thinking.
It was not until a moment later that Mr. X’s virtual projection slowly handed over a note. It said: “Your mission has been successful. You have successfully attracted everyone’s attention. Next, blow up the Tomb of Chi You!”
After saying this simple sentence, the signal link was cut off. Hermes was stunned on the spot. He clearly did not expect the boss’s reply to be like this.
Could it be that the real plan was not what he saw? The operation in the Chi You Tomb was just to attract attention? Then what was the real operation?
He did not dare to think too much about it, but his eyes flickered with a cunning light. He slowly walked to the window and looked at the various ammunition that had already piled up into a small mountain.
Now, after the death of Divine Gun, he had become the person in charge here.
The mission given by Mr. X allowed Hermes to quickly analyze it.
The real plan might have been completed. As for the Chi You’s Tomb, since they could not obtain it, they could not let others obtain it. Destroying it was undoubtedly the best method. Anyway, this was not the goal of the plan.
At the thought of this, Hermes walked out of the house without any delay.
Su Yun had already found the location of the main tomb based on his memories. Soon, he saw the figures of the busy crowd. “Professors, what’s the situation now?”
Upon seeing Su Yun appear, Professor Sun quickly walked over and took a closer look at him. After confirming that Su Yun was not injured, he felt relieved..
