Chapter 179 The Calm Before the Storm

Around 5:30 PM, in the town of Ors, outside the Dragon City border.

This small town is located on the border between District One and The Dragon City. It has a small population and mainly engages in trade.

District One's military base is built next to this town.

At this moment, inside the base, Kang Dinghuang and Lu Zhen, guided by guards, arrived in front of a combat command room.

"Bang!"

The door was pushed open, revealing the scene inside the command room.

The room was very spacious, about three to four hundred square meters, and filled with LCD LED screens displaying a large amount of data charts and simulation diagrams.

About a hundred people were working in an orderly manner in the room, including staff officers, intelligence personnel, and information processors. In addition to some white and black people, there were also many Chinese officers.

This is a corps organized by District One on the border of The Dragon City, now called the Southern First Corps. It consists of District One's own 60,000-strong regular army, and 40,000 people drawn from the Chinese corps, forming a force of 100,000.

In front of an electronic sand table stood an old black man with white hair. He was wearing a neat military uniform, with three gold stars on his shoulders, symbolizing his rank.

This is Lieutenant General Mules, the commander-in-chief in charge of the military pressure operation against The Dragon City.

Seeing him, Kang Dinghuang led Lu Zhen forward and gave him a very respectful military salute: "Hello, Lieutenant General Mules, Kang Dinghuang from the Qingyi Bureau, and Lu Zhen, Secretary-General of the Chinese Corps, reporting to you!"

Lieutenant General Mules raised his head, glanced at them slowly, and a smile appeared on his face: "My dear Kang, have you brought me some good news?"

Kang Dinghuang immediately said: "Yes, we have made arrangements on The Dragon City side."

"I'm very glad to hear that." Lieutenant General Mules pointed to a lounge next to him: "Let's go, we'll talk inside."

"Okay."

The three men stepped into the lounge and pushed the door open.

Kang Dinghuang glanced around. There were several sofas and a small bar in the lounge.

After the door was closed, the noisy sounds outside were immediately blocked.

The three men sat down, and a young staff member walked over and asked in a soft voice, "Gentlemen, what would you like to drink?"

"Coffee, please."

"Okay."

After a while, the staff member came over with coffee and placed it on the table in front of them, then turned and left the lounge.

Kang Dinghuang took a sip of coffee before starting to speak: "Mr. Mules, this is how things are on The Dragon City side..."

Lu Zhen sat quietly beside him, without interrupting.

Lieutenant General Mules sat on the sofa, legs crossed, listening to Kang Dinghuang's detailed explanation of the deployment plan within The Dragon City. He nodded with satisfaction and praised, "A clever hunter often disguises himself as prey. You are clearly a qualified hunter."

"You flatter me, these are the results of our joint efforts." Kang Dinghuang said calmly, "I'm only worried about the forces we've deployed in The Dragon City. We only have one chance, and we must give them hope! Therefore, tonight's military operation, we must seize the initiative. Otherwise, if there are any unstable factors, my previous work will be in vain."

Lieutenant General Mules nodded slowly.

Kang Dinghuang glanced at him before continuing, "Of course, today will be a day that changes the history of The Dragon City. From now on, the days of The Dragon City returning to stability are just around the corner!"

Hearing this, Lieutenant General Mules smiled: "I'm looking forward to seeing that day."

The three men sat on the sofa and chatted in low voices.

…

About 250 nautical miles away from The Dragon City, on a public transit island.

Cosmetic Surgery Face sat in a car at the port, watching several civilian fishing boats slowly dock at the shore.

Soon, Yuan Biao, with more than two hundred people, carrying combat equipment and material boxes, marched off the boat in neat formation.

Seeing them, Cosmetic Surgery Face pushed open the car door, walked over with his men, and extended his hand to Yuan Biao: "Hello, Mr. Yuan, I'm here to pick you up."

Yuan Biao just glanced at him, didn't shake his hand, but turned his head and waved to his men, shouting, "Move faster! Get the things ashore quickly, hide the boats!"

Cosmetic Surgery Face retracted his hand, not angry, and said directly to Yuan Biao, "According to the agreed plan, we will start heading to The Dragon City at 7:30 tonight, and the official action will begin at 8:00!"

Yuan Biao finally looked at him and asked softly, "Who gave the order?"

Cosmetic Surgery Face was stunned for a moment, then replied with a smile, "The files show that Kang Dinghuang personally gave the order. After the forces inside The Dragon City exert their strength, the situation will be very chaotic, and we will take the opportunity to carry out the mission. I will act with you at that time, and I will contact the internal contacts."

After hearing this, Yuan Biao didn't say anything, but fell into a silence, as if thinking about something.

Cosmetic Surgery Face couldn't figure out what this man was thinking, and couldn't help asking, "Is there a problem?"

Yuan Biao looked at him and suddenly asked, "Do you have a cell phone?"

Cosmetic Surgery Face was stunned for a moment, not understanding why the other party asked this, but he still replied, "Yes."

Yuan Biao pressed on, "How many cell phones do you have?"

Cosmetic Surgery Face frowned, "Two, what's wrong?"

Yuan Biao said with a chuckle, "Give me all your cell phones."

Although Cosmetic Surgery Face was very puzzled, he still took out the two cell phones from his pocket and handed them to Yuan Biao.

Yuan Biao took the cell phones, glanced at them, and couldn't help but praise, "Pretty phones."

Before Cosmetic Surgery Face could react, Yuan Biao flicked his arm and threw both cell phones into the sea.

With two plops, the cell phones disappeared without a trace, and waves rippled on the surface of the sea.

Cosmetic Surgery Face was dumbfounded, and then suppressed his anger and questioned, "What are you doing?!"

Yuan Biao turned around, looked at Cosmetic Surgery Face, and said in a calm tone, "I won't move at eight o'clock, I'll move at nine thirty."

Cosmetic Surgery Face frowned, "Why? This is Kang Dinghuang's order, and our troops will already be exerting their strength at that time!"

Yuan Biao smiled and said, "I don't like doing things according to other people's plans, I will only move at nine thirty. I also don't need any intelligence you provide, you just need to follow me."

"But The Dragon City side has secretly...!"

"If even the person picking us up knows what time we're entering The Dragon City, can you still call that a secret?!" While saying this, Yuan Biao walked towards the military vehicle: "Hurry up, radio silence! Reconnaissance team, move out in advance!"

…

The Dragon City, General Directorate.

Gu Baishun changed into a black suit and was walking out of the building with several guards.

At this time, Guo Zhengdao was waiting at the door. Seeing him, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Director Gu!"

Gu Baishun stopped and turned to look at him.

Guo Zhengdao continued, "I'm all prepared here, I'll be responsible for the key personnel!"

Hearing this, Gu Baishun reached out and patted him gently on the shoulder: "Brother Guo, it will be very chaotic tonight, be sure to be careful!"

Guo Zhengdao grinned: "Small matter, no problem."
