Chapter 1 The Situation

Nine o'clock at night, inside Dragon City.

At this time, on certain streets within the city, a large number of people appeared. Some were in vehicles, others on foot, all abandoning their homes and businesses, uncontrollably fleeing towards the Lao Mo region.

Although the Lao Mo region was also plagued by war, its inland area was vast, and the conflicts didn't affect every single area.

Therefore, some of the more timid, or those who were wealthier and had the means, were already taking action, wishing they could fly to the Lao Mo region immediately.

The entire Dragon City was in complete chaos.

...

While Dragon City was descending into chaos, Yuan Biao led his hundred-man team silently through a patch of ruins, continuing towards their target location.

Just then, a man's voice came through the earpiece: "Calling command center, this is Tianyan!"

Yuan Biao waved his hand, signaling them to stop advancing, then crouched down and pressed his headset, saying, "This is command center, go ahead."

In the earpiece, the man continued: "Report, Li Mingsheng's convoy was ambushed and forced to divert, heading towards Dragon City's No. 2 Water Plant, with some personnel from the Bureau of Violent Crimes providing backup along the way."

Yuan Biao frowned, immediately pressing for clarification, "Can you confirm this?"

The other party replied without hesitation: "Confirmed, I've been tracking his movements the entire time."

Yuan Biao nodded: "Okay, I understand. Hold your position for now, await my orders."

"Roger!"

After ending the communication, Yuan Biao took out a combat instrument, magnified the map of Dragon City on it, found the location of the No. 2 Water Plant on the edge of the Longkou District, and marked it.

After this, Yuan Biao put down the combat instrument, reopened the communication channel, and called out: "Second Team!"

"Here!" Ni Huan's voice quickly responded.

Yuan Biao immediately instructed: "Look at the location marked on my combat instrument."

Ni Huan quickly replied: "I see it."

"Good." Yuan Biao thought for a moment, then told Ni Huan: "Begin preparations for an attack now, the target is the No. 2 Water Plant. Have your team infiltrate there secretly."

Ni Huan asked: "Should I request aerial support from the First Sector now?"

Yuan Biao immediately refused: "No, if we launch a military strike now, Li Mingsheng will realize we're onto them. So, don't alert the enemy, first approach the area and observe the surrounding situation."

Ni Huan immediately agreed: "Okay, no problem, I'll start moving now!"

After the two ended their conversation, Yuan Biao thought for a moment, turned his head and made a tactical gesture, and whispered, "Let's go, we're abandoning the other target for now and heading to target number one!"

"Yes!"

The entire team's expressions remained unchanged, following Yuan Biao as they quickly changed course, heading towards their destination.

Throughout the entire process, Yuan Biao didn't even tell Ni Huan and his team which direction they were heading; all targets were decided on the fly.

...

More than twenty minutes later, the group approached the vicinity of the No. 2 Water Plant, located on the edge of the Longkou District.

Ni Huan crouched in a forest, using binoculars equipped with night vision to observe the water plant.

The entire water plant area was quite large, with steel pipes everywhere, and many huge reservoirs built on both sides of the plant.

The surroundings were very quiet, but through the night vision, it could be observed that many hidden sentry posts had been built around the plant.

Ni Huan thought for a moment, Li Mingsheng must have been temporarily transferred here, and according to the observers' reports, there weren't many people around.

After observing the surrounding area and the No. 2 Water Plant, Ni Huan opened the communication channel and reported to Yuan Biao: "Report, we have arrived at the marked location, less than 800 meters from the target location. There happens to be a dense forest nearby that can be used for concealment. Based on my observation, the enemy should no longer have the ability to survey the perimeter. Their security is very simple, only some close-quarters guards, because they were ambushed halfway, the number of personnel is estimated to be no more than a hundred. Although there are some guard posts around, the intensity is not high, and the ammunition supply should also be poor. However, I predict that it won't be long before they send people to reinforce this place! What's next?!"

Yuan Biao had also completed his deployment at this time. Hearing Ni Huan's report, he pondered for a long time and instructed through the communication channel: "The more it is at this time, the less we should rush. Wait for me, I will now request air support to provide fire support for you."

"Okay!" Ni Huan nodded, and both sides ended the communication.

Two minutes later, Yuan Biao took out a brand-new mobile phone, dialed Lu Zhen's number, and directly sent the coordinates to the other party. Immediately following that, he said very directly: "Now, I need you to send three to four fighter jets to approach the No. 2 Water Plant and conduct low-altitude fire suppression and strafing!"

Lu Zhen nodded and said, "No problem, I'll give you support now!"

The two ended the call, and Yuan Biao patiently lay down at his position, waiting for support to arrive.

...

"Rumble!"

After three or four minutes, a roaring sound of airflow suddenly came from the sky!

Ni Huan crouched in the forest, hearing this sound, and immediately looked up at the sky!

He saw four fighter jets emitting a deafening roar, quickly swept across the sky, and in the blink of an eye rushed to the sky above the water plant, swooping down towards the courtyard!

"Bang bang bang!"

At this moment, three or four ground-to-air RPG missiles were fired awkwardly into the sky from the courtyard!

"Pa pa pa!"

The fighter jets quickly ejected a large number of flares, covering the sky and directly disposing of these missiles.

Seeing this scene, Ni Huan stared at the sky with gloomy eyes, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth, confidently saying, "They don't have much anti-aircraft fire either."

"Da da da!"

"Boom boom!"

Immediately following that, the fighter jets carried out a round of machine gun strafing on the buildings of the water plant, and at the same time launched air-to-ground missiles, launching a powerful bombing attack!

After a round of carpet bombing, the water plant was in a mess, and two main buildings were blown open, revealing huge holes.

"Air raid!"

"Quick, evacuate immediately!"

Several military vehicles and dozens of soldiers were running out of the warehouse next to them.

After a round of air strikes, the entire security firepower hidden in the water plant was exposed! At the same time, the obstacles that were conducive to their defense were also cleared!

...

"Buzz buzz..."

At the same time, three drones hovered in the high sky, filming the scene of the water plant.

Yuan Biao hid in the dark, observing the battlefield through these three drones. After testing the enemy's armed forces, he immediately opened the communication and ordered Ni Huan: "Now officially attack! Quickly advance towards the target!"

"Action!"

With Ni Huan's order, more than a hundred soldiers armed to the teeth stood up silently in the dense forest, carrying weapons and quickly rushing towards the water plant.

...

Hua District.

Su Tianyu, wearing headphones, commanded in a hoarse voice: "Second line, pay attention to the military headquarters... especially the safety of General An...!"
