466: Invisibility
The two quickly arrived at the fork in the road and swiftly split up according to the plan. As expected, the Dark Shadow Organization's vehicles were diverted; they split into two teams, pursuing Su Yue and Lin Xiao separately.
Su Yue used the intelligence system to plan a complex route, constantly taking detours and changing direction, attempting to shake off the pursuers behind him. Meanwhile, Lin Xiao followed Su Yue's instructions and went to a safe location to wait.
After a fierce chase, Su Yue finally successfully escaped the Dark Shadow Organization's pursuit. He circled back to the agreed-upon location with Lin Xiao, only to find that Lin Xiao had arrived safely and was anxiously waiting for him.
"Are you alright?" Lin Xiao immediately went up to Su Yue after seeing him.
"I'm fine, we successfully diverted them." Su Yue said with a smile, "Now, we can continue moving forward."
The two got back on their motorcycles and continued their path of retreat. In the night, the wind howled, and the roar of the motorcycles pierced the silent night sky.
"Su Yue, where are we going now?" Lin Xiao asked, her voice slightly muffled by the wind.
"We'll go to a remote small town first, where I've arranged a safe house beforehand." Su Yue replied, his gaze firm and unwavering.
The motorcycle sped along the highway, the scenery on both sides rapidly blurring in the night. Su Yue constantly paid attention to any movement behind him, ensuring no Dark Shadow Organization pursuers were following.
Before long, they arrived at the remote small town. The town was quiet and peaceful, as if isolated from the world. They found the safe house, an inconspicuous residential building, yet enough to provide them temporary shelter.
After entering the safe house, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Xiao looked at Su Yue, her eyes full of gratitude and admiration, "Su Yue, you're really amazing, we would have been caught long ago without you."
Su Yue merely smiled faintly, "This is all thanks to the intelligence system, without it we wouldn't have been able to escape the Dark Shadow Organization so smoothly."
He paused, then continued, "However, we can't let our guard down yet. The Dark Shadow Organization won't give up easily, we must remain vigilant at all times."
Lin Xiao nodded, indicating understanding. She suddenly remembered something and asked, "Oh right, you mentioned before that properly handling intelligence could earn System rewards, is it possible for us to get a reward now?"
Su Yue smiled slightly, "You've already received the greatest reward - a safe retreat. However, the intelligence system's reward mechanism is very complex, sometimes it doesn't appear directly in material form. It could be a hint, a guidance, helping us make the right decisions at crucial moments."
Lin Xiao nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, "I see, then what should we do next?"
"We need to continue collecting intelligence on the Dark Shadow Organization to understand their movements and plans." Su Yue said, "At the same time, we also need to find the right time and method to deliver a heavy blow to them."
After hearing this, Lin Xiao's eyes became resolute, and she nodded, "I understand, we need to take the initiative and attack, we can't keep being passive."
Su Yue looked at her with approval, "Exactly, we need to turn passive into active. And, I already have a preliminary plan."
He took out a small electronic device from his pocket, which displayed the latest updates and deployment status of the Dark Shadow Organization, "This is the information the intelligence system just updated. The Dark Shadow Organization will have an important material transfer recently, we can take this opportunity to intercept it."
Lin Xiao leaned closer to look at the information on the device, her eyes lighting up, "This plan is good, not only can we disrupt their material transfer, but we can also take the opportunity to obtain more intelligence about the Dark Shadow Organization."
"Exactly." Su Yue nodded, "Moreover, if we can successfully complete this mission, the intelligence system might give us new rewards, which will be of great help to our actions."
The two began to discuss and plan the action plan in detail, not missing a single detail. They knew that this action must succeed and must not fail.
However, just before they were about to depart, there was a sudden violent knocking on the safe house door. Su Yue and Lin Xiao exchanged glances, their hearts tightening. Could it be the Dark Shadow Organization had come knocking?
Su Yue signaled Lin Xiao to be quiet, while he cautiously walked towards the door. He peered out through the crack in the door, only to see several strangers in plain clothes standing at the door, who didn't look like people from the Dark Shadow Organization.
Su Yue opened the door and asked vigilantly, "Who are you? What can I do for you?"
"We are the local police." One of them showed his identification, "We received a report that someone here is suspected of illegal activities. Please cooperate with our investigation."
Su Yue and Lin Xiao's hearts sank; they hadn't expected to encounter Police here. However, they weren't carrying any illegal items or information, so they weren't panicked.
"We can cooperate with the investigation." Su Yue said calmly, "However, we haven't engaged in any illegal activities."
Police conducted a thorough search of the safe house but did not find any suspicious items or information. They seemed to become interested in Su Yue and Lin Xiao's identities and began to inquire about their origins and purpose.
Su Yue and Lin Xiao were prepared; they fabricated a plausible identity and story and successfully handled Police's questioning. In the end, Police found no evidence and had to leave.
"That was really thrilling." Lin Xiao sighed, "It's a good thing we were prepared."
"Yes, this appearance by Police reminded us that we must be even more careful and cautious." Su Yue said, "The Dark Shadow Organization might have already sensed our presence, we must quicken our pace of action."
The two quickly packed their equipment and left the safe house under the cover of night.
In the night, Su Yue and Lin Xiao quickly left the safe house on their motorcycle, their objective clear - to intercept the Dark Shadow Organization's material transfer.
"Su Yue, do you think the Dark Shadow Organization might have already discovered us?" Lin Xiao asked with some worry.
"I don't rule out that possibility, but we have no retreat now, we can only move forward bravely." Su Yue said firmly, "Moreover, I believe the intelligence system will provide us with help."
After riding for a while, they finally arrived at the route the Dark Shadow Organization's material transfer was bound to take. Su Yue used the intelligence system to determine the specific location and estimated arrival time of the transfer vehicles.
"Are you ready?" Su Yue asked, looking at Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao nodded, "Ready, we will definitely succeed."
Soon after, the Dark Shadow Organization's material transfer vehicles appeared in their sight. Su Yue and Lin Xiao acted quickly, proceeding with the interception according to the plan they had made earlier.
After a fierce battle, they successfully intercepted the material transfer vehicles and obtained a large amount of intelligence about the Dark Shadow Organization.
"We succeeded!" Lin Xiao excitedly hugged Su Yue, "This operation went so smoothly."
Su Yue smiled, "Yes, we succeeded. But this is just the beginning, we still need to continue working hard."
Just then, the intelligence system's voice sounded in Su Yue's mind: "Successfully intercepted the Dark Shadow Organization's material transfer vehicles and obtained important intelligence. Received System reward: one Dark Shadow Organization internal structure map."
Su Yue's heart filled with joy; this was exactly what they needed for their next action. He took out the electronic device and examined the Dark Shadow Organization's internal structure map, discovering some key information.
"Lin Xiao, look quickly, we've found the Dark Shadow Organization's weakness." He handed the electronic device to Lin Xiao, pointing to a certain location on the screen, "Here, this is their communication center. If we can destroy it, it will deal a major blow to the Dark Shadow Organization."
After examining it carefully, Lin Xiao nodded, "That's right, this is indeed an opportunity. We need to act quickly and not give them time to react."
The two quickly cleaned up the scene and rode their motorcycle towards the Dark Shadow Organization's communication center. In the night, their figures rapidly disappeared on the highway, leaving only the roaring sound of the motorcycle echoing in the night sky.
After riding for a while, they finally arrived near the Dark Shadow Organization's communication center. Su Yue used the intelligence system to determine the specific location and defense situation of the communication center.
"It seems the Dark Shadow Organization places great importance on this place, the defense is very tight." Su Yue said, frowning.
"Then what do we do now?" Lin Xiao asked.
Su Yue pondered for a moment, then said, "We can't just force our way in, we need to find a way to divert their attention."
The two of them used the surrounding buildings and the Dark Shadow as cover, quietly approaching the communication center. Based on the information provided by the intelligence system, Su Yue had already understood the layout of the communication center and the patrol routes of the defense personnel beforehand.
"Lin Xiao, you are responsible for creating some commotion on the east side to draw the patrolling guards over." Su Yue said in a low voice.
Lin Xiao nodded and moved silently towards the east side. She found a stone and threw it forcefully towards a distant wall, producing a loud impact sound.
"Look over there!" a guard shouted, and immediately several guards quickly ran towards the east side to check what had happened.
Seeing this, Su Yue immediately seized the opportunity to sneak into the communication center from the west side. He quickly and nimbly avoided the remaining guards and reached the communication equipment. He took out a small bomb from his pocket, which he had prepared beforehand, specifically for destroying electronic equipment.
He quickly placed the bomb on the core part of the communication equipment, then activated the timer. The bomb's timer started ticking, and Su Yue immediately turned and retreated.
At the same time, Lin Xiao also successfully shook off the guards pursuing her and rendezvoused with Su Yue outside the communication center.
"The bomb has been placed, we need to leave quickly." Su Yue said urgently.
The two quickly withdrew from the scene, concealed in the darkness in the distance, quietly waiting.
Soon after, the bomb exploded. The deafening explosion and flash of light instantly filled the entire communication center, and the guards ran around in panic.
"We succeeded!" Lin Xiao excitedly held Su Yue's hand.
Su Yue nodded, "We need to leave here quickly, the Dark Shadow Organization will react soon."
Taking advantage of the chaos, they quickly left the scene and returned to the safe area they had previously chosen. In the night, their figures disappeared into the darkness.
In the safe area, the two rested for a bit.
"This operation went so smoothly, your plan was really effective." Lin Xiao sincerely praised.
Su Yue smiled slightly, "This is all thanks to the intelligence system. Without it, we wouldn't be able to grasp the Dark Shadow Organization's movements so accurately."
He paused, then continued, "However, we can't let our guard down. The Dark Shadow Organization won't let it go easily, we must remain vigilant at all times."
Lin Xiao nodded, indicating understanding. She looked at Su Yue, her eyes full of admiration and gratitude. She knew that with Su Yue there, they would definitely be able to defeat the Dark Shadow Organization.
Just then, the intelligence system's voice sounded in Su Yue's mind: "Successfully destroyed the Dark Shadow Organization's communication equipment, dealing a major blow to it. Received System reward: one Dark Shadow Organization internal cipher code."
Su Yue's heart stirred upon hearing this; this cipher code would provide great help for their subsequent actions. He looked at Lin Xiao, his eyes flashing with resolute light, "Next, we will use this cipher code to infiltrate the Dark Shadow Organization and completely destroy their plan."
After hearing this, Lin Xiao's eyes also became resolute, "Okay, next we will use this cipher code to deliver a fatal blow to the Dark Shadow Organization."
Su Yue nodded, just about to speak, when suddenly his expression turned serious, "Wait, the intelligence system shows that we were discovered by the Dark Shadow Organization's scouts during our retreat."
"What? Then what do we do now?" Lin Xiao asked nervously.
"Don't be nervous, we'll change direction to retreat first and avoid their pursuit." Su Yue quickly made a decision, "Follow me."
The two immediately got up and moved quickly along a small path. In the night, their figures moved through the woods, trying not to make any sound.
However, the Dark Shadow Organization's scouts were clearly not so easy to shake off. Before long, Su Yue and Lin Xiao heard footsteps and shouts coming from behind.
"They're catching up!" Lin Xiao said anxiously.
"Don't panic, there's an abandoned warehouse ahead, we'll hide there first." Su Yue said, pointing forward.
The two sped up and finally hid inside the warehouse before being discovered by the pursuers. They quickly found a hidden corner and concealed themselves.
Before long, the Dark Shadow Organization's scouts caught up to the outside of the warehouse. They carefully searched every corner but found no trace of Su Yue and Lin Xiao.
"They should be nearby, keep looking!" a leading scout shouted.
Just then, the intelligence system's voice sounded in Su Yue's mind again: "Successfully evaded the Dark Shadow Organization scouts' pursuit. Received System reward: one Invisibility Skill."
Su Yue's heart filled with joy; this was truly a timely help! He immediately imparted the Invisibility Skill to Lin Xiao.
"We can become invisible now?" Lin Xiao asked in surprise.
Su Yue nodded, "That's right, we can leave here invisibly now."
The two immediately activated the Invisibility Skill, and their figures gradually became blurred.
