155: Chapter 155 Going to Sea for Fishing

Chapter 155 Going Out to Sea to Fish

Training camp base building.

Outside, the torrential rain poured and violent winds howled, but inside it was terrifyingly quiet.

Clack——

Yet another earth-shattering flash of lightning struck, illuminating the pitch-black hall in a blinding white glare.

At that moment, A-Qiang suddenly discovered that the guy who looked like a "Water Demon" was actually standing just a few meters away.

It slowly turned its head, seemingly having already discovered these people who had mistakenly intruded into the devil's lair.

In the darkness, two bulging fish-eye bulbs flickered with an incomparably eerie green light.

"Hurry up and close the door!"

The middle-aged man reacted the fastest, immediately reaching out to pull the door handle.

They saw the monster suddenly drop all four limbs to the ground, and with a swoosh, it abruptly accelerated and lunged forward.

Clang!

The door that had just been closed was instantly struck and nearly shattered into pieces of wood.

Afterwards, a webbed claw reached in through the cracked gap of the door, grabbing the arm of A-Qiang who failed to dodge in time.

A-Qiang was frightened into Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, calling out for help repeatedly.

Seeing this, the others retreated one after another, their faces filled with panic and shock.

The door panel was further torn apart, and a head as ugly and terrifying as a fish burrowed in.

Its mouth split open, revealing sharp teeth, emitting a series of low roars.

It was precisely the man-eating Water Demon from the legends of Yongan Island.

Bang!

Just as A-Qiang was terrified to the extreme and everyone was at a loss, suddenly a gunshot cut off the screams and roars.

The monster's body suddenly stiffened, its eyes flashed with green light, and that anthropomorphic face vaguely revealed a look of anger.

Then it released the claw gripping A-Qiang, abruptly withdrew its body, and lunged towards a certain audacious attacker behind it.

Bang, bang, bang——

Following closely, another burst of gunfire resembling popping beans sounded in the hall.

It seemed someone was engaging in fierce hand-to-hand combat with that monster.

A few slightly bolder backpackers then walked up to the door with a hole in it, cautiously peering outside.

In the darkness, bursts of gunfire flashed, and a group of people wearing black combat uniforms rushed into the hall with guns raised in both hands.

The target they opened fire to attack was not just that Water Demon.

As the lightning struck, illuminating the internal scene of the building,

it showed that behind it, there were unexpectedly quite a few non-human monsters that looked like fish.

Perhaps startled by the gunfire, they ran out from their hiding places one after another, launching an attack on this group of uninvited guests.

Their eyes were like glowing green lightbulbs, and as their limbs leaped, a single jump was two meters high and four meters far.

Moreover, they appeared exceptionally ferocious; as long as they were not targeted by concentrated bullets or hit in vital parts, they had no fear of the opposite firearms' attacks at all.

And those combat personnel were no pushovers either; not only was their Marksmanship precise, but their physical fitness was equally remarkable.

Some even held daggers, engaging in close-quarters hand-to-hand combat with the monsters that lunged in front of them.

It was simply like the most elite special forces soldiers in movies.

No, they should be even stronger than special forces soldiers.

Because the speed and strength they displayed in the process of fighting the monsters already exceeded everyone's understanding of reality.

One of the flat-headed men even directly grabbed a monster's thick neck with one hand, forcefully snapping its cervical vertebrae with a crunch.

"Hiss..."

Looking at the shocking scene before him, A-Qiang couldn't help drawing a sharp breath of cold air.

His originally flustered mind and spirit actually calmed down because of this.

"We are saved!"

The other backpackers also breathed a sigh of relief easily.

Fortunately, this bizarre incident of encountering monsters was only a brief false alarm.

Since the rescuers had come and everyone was human, naturally there was no need to worry about anything anymore.

Only a few minutes later, the gunfire stopped successively.

The hall returned to a dead silence, with only thunder mixed with the sound of wind and rain intermittently drifting into their ears.

A group of backpackers all crowded in front of the door, staring wide-eyed at the scene outside.

The grayish-white floor tiles were covered with bullet holes, and countless monster corpses were lying there.

Green mucous-like blood flowed out slowly, and the emitting fishy stench almost permeated the entire hall.

Meanwhile, those intruders suspected of being special forces did not experience any reduction in personnel.

At most, some suffered minor injuries; taking out a syringe from the medical kit and giving themselves an injection, they quickly recovered to their original state.

Taking advantage of their ceasefire and rest, everyone hurriedly ran out from the duty room, shouting and yelling to seek assistance.

Seeing several soldiers raise their guns to aim at themselves, they then hurriedly explained:

"We are all ordinary tourists, not monsters!"

"That's right, are you official troops? This building is very dangerous, can you send us back to the town first?"

"Ordinary tourists?"

Listening to the chattering voices of the crowd, the flat-headed man's gaze swept across them abruptly.

Then he raised his hand and made a gesture towards behind him.

Receiving the order, those combat personnel immediately raised their guns and pulled the triggers.

Bang, bang, bang——

Gunfire flashed, and fresh blood spurted.

Greeting these backpackers were instead bullets that ruthlessly harvested lives.

At the moment of their death, they still didn't know why these soldiers wanted to shoot at them.

Humans and monsters had their limbs piled together, as the bright red plasma and dark green mucus gradually intersected and underwent Fusion.

Presenting a strange, grotesque, and terrifying scene.

Inside the hall that had once again fallen silent,

the only ones still standing, besides these soldiers of unknown origin, were a single backpacker.

And it was precisely the middle-aged man who was smoking in the duty room earlier.

He had no look of fear on his face, appearing extremely indifferent to the deaths of his companions.

Afterwards, he stepped forward, raised his hand, saluted the flat-headed man, and said in a deep voice:

"Report, Sir! Your subordinate has been observing here for six hours, and has temporarily not found any abnormal situation with the enemy."

That flat-headed man was precisely Minister Luo Lie who led the team to attack the Zhenxiang Society base.

After hearing the middle-aged man's report of the situation, Minister Luo Lie nodded slightly.

Then he made another gesture for a thorough search.

In an instant, sporadic gunshots and sounds of fighting rang out continuously.

Then they were mainly concentrated in one direction, and appeared quite fierce.

Minister Luo Lie's eyes condensed, and he immediately walked over following the sound.

Seeing on the corridor leading from the first floor to the eastern sub-building, three exceptionally robust jiaoren were blocking the way.

No matter how the specially made armor-piercing bullets concentrated fire, they could not cause effective damage to them.

Even charging rampantly through the crowd and running amok recklessly, continuously causing several combat personnel to suffer bone fractures and injuries.

"Get out of the way!"

Seeing that his subordinates found it difficult to resist the opponent's formidable strength, Minister Luo Lie suddenly shouted sternly, striding quickly through the corridor.

As his steps strode forward, it was as if an invisible force field gathered a force as huge as a mountain.

Following closely, it shrouded right above the heads of the three jiaoren, preventing them from continuing to move freely.

Creak, creak——

The teeth-grating sound continued to ring out.

The three jiaoren had their eyeballs bulging out, struggling desperately to resist the heavy pressure applied to their bodies, slowly moving forward by one step.

Seeing this, Minister Luo Lie's eyes blossomed with a hint of blue light.

Those three jiaoren instantly stopped their steps, their waists and backs arched into a shrimp-like shape, their legs trembling incessantly, continuing to bend their knees downward.

Even the ground was stepped on to produce cracked footprints, startlingly caving downward.

Bang!

Finally, like a balloon being instantly squeezed and popped,

the three jiaoren were unexpectedly pressed into a pile of plasma and meat patties.

Minister Luo Lie's expression remained unchanged, raising his steps, he stepped past the enemy who could no longer be recognized in their original form.

Raising his head to look forward, there was a magnificent building resembling a church.

According to Li Chengjun's description, that place should be the entrance to the underground cave.

Thinking of this, Minister Luo Lie immediately turned around, looking at the elite pursuer members who had all gathered here and were waiting in full battle array.

His gaze subsequently fell on the middle-aged man and another team member, instructing:

"Black Panther, Black Wolf, you two send a signal to Li Chengjun, and then bring the injured personnel to stay behind here. If there is any intelligence, contact via the walkie-talkie."

"Yes."

The two immediately received the order and acted.

Minister Luo Lie took out a box of chewing gum from his pocket, took out a piece and put it into his mouth, chewing slowly.

A moment later, his eyebrows raised, looking at the Meditation main hall whose door was pushed open with a boom, he coldly issued the combat instruction:

"After entering the cave, sweep along the way with gunfire and kill without mercy."

Training camp building.

Accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, a bright light leisurely passed through the wind and rain, flying toward the night sky.

Resembling fireworks dragging a long tail, it illuminated the gloomy clouds for a split second.

On the turbulent sea surface, boats rose, fell, and swayed.

Without a single error, first release, inside content, check it one by one!

Facing the wind and rain, Li Chengjun stood on the deck, and after seeing the signal flare, he immediately lowered his head to glance at his wristwatch.

The time had just passed midnight by a few minutes, not too late.

At this moment behind him, ten pursuers were already fully equipped and ready to go.

They wore a full set of diving equipment, including diving suits, respirators, oxygen tanks, flippers, etc., as well as underwater-dedicated assault rifles and specially equipped special chemical weapons.

Li Chengjun himself had also changed into a one-piece diving suit and put on goggles.

A long beam of light crossed the sea surface, reflecting into his pupils.

That was the lighthouse guiding navigation in the port.

Several kilometers away, five fishing boats with flashing lights sailed over scattered, shuttling through the wind and waves, seemingly searching for something on the sea surface.

Li Chengjun withdrew his gaze, then contacted the other three teams of personnel via the walkie-talkie headset:

"The fish have arrived at the shallow water position, start the fishing plan."

In the stormy night sky, radio waves drifted, transmitting unstable weak signals.

A moment later.

Three long-hidden speedboats also used the cover of night and wind and waves to quietly approach three of the fishing boats.

Li Chengjun's plan was very simple.

Taking advantage of the Zhenxiang Society organizing manpower to go down to the sea to salvage treasures and the lack of defensive forces, seize their shipping equipment in advance.

As long as the anticipated "ancient remains" were successfully salvaged, he would take ten elite members to quickly support the locked target ship.

The best result was to sit back and reap the spoils without doing any work.

If any accidents occurred, Li Chengjun was also prepared to personally go into the sea to snatch the treasures, ensuring nothing could go wrong.

The sound of motors faintly rang from afar, and a fishing boat was impressively parked at a position directly opposite the sea cape.

Figures flickered on the boat, busy with salvage work.

A speedboat was hidden in the wind-and-rain-interwoven darkness, ready to approach and board the ship at any time.

Time passed minute by minute.

Through infrared binoculars, Li Chengjun observed the three selected fishing boats one by one, waiting quietly.

Suddenly, a voice came out from the headset;

"Lord Special Envoy, Position C has been controlled and ready. It seems a large object is about to be salvaged up!"

The voice came from his subordinate ability user Ah Jie, and the target he was responsible for was precisely that fishing boat directly opposite the sea cape.

Hearing this, Li Chengjun's eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered Tang Dayuan in the Driving cabin to drive the boat over.

The steamship cleaved through the surging rolled-up waves, quickly approaching the target.

When they were still a few meters away, Li Chengjun impatiently leaped across to the opposite ship.

The other team members also successively jumped over following him.

However, when his gaze swept across the empty deck, Li Chengjun's eyes were somewhat puzzled, vaguely sensing some kind of abnormal aura.

Just as he was being vigilant, a burst of applause suddenly rang out.

"Welcome, welcome."

A group of people subsequently walked out from the cabin, and the leader was an old man with a slightly greenish complexion.

Judging by their appearance, they were clearly all formal members of the Zhenxiang Society.

Behind them, one could vaguely see the figures of several pursuer members who had fainted on the ground with their lives uncertain, which also included Ah Jie who had spoken earlier.

Li Chengjun's pupils constricted slightly, knowing that he had fallen into a trap.

According to intelligence, this old man opposite should be Elder Feng Kehai, who had relatively strong strength among the upper echelons of the Zhenxiang Society.

"You are the special envoy of the Noah Organization, right? So young, it seems that lass didn't lie to us..."

Feng Kehai curiously sized up the enemy who had always been hiding in the dark, muttering in his mouth.

Hearing this, Li Chengjun was slightly startled, and then replied with a calm expression:

"Our numbers and strength are comparable right now, and if we start fighting, the outcome is hard to tell. Actually, we can sit down and talk about the issue of cooperation, and jointly salvage the things in the sea."

"Cooperation?"

Feng Kehai sneered: "What qualifications do you have to talk to me about cooperation right now?"

While speaking, several Zhenxiang Society members behind him suddenly emitted a low whistling sound similar to a whistle.

As the whistling sound spread out in all directions, the turbulent sea surface instantly rolled more violently.

Swish-swish——

Bursts of the sound of water waves being split apart subsequently sounded.

It seemed something was swimming rapidly toward the fishing boat from all directions.

Following closely, one after another black shadows suddenly drilled out of the sea surface, bringing up water splashes, and leaped onto the deck one after another.

That strange appearance of half-human, half-fish and dark green all over was impressively the jiaoren wandering in the sea.

They stared with eerie fish-eye bulbs, continuously emitting sharp roars from their mouths.

There were as many as dozens of them, baring their teeth and brandishing their claws as they surrounded Li Chengjun and the others in the center.

"The influence of the Zhenxiang Society is not limited to land; the ocean also belongs to our territory."

Seeing that the situation was entirely under control, Feng Kehai could not help showing a hint of complacency:

"With these pure-bloods acting as eyes and ears, every single move you make on the sea is like turtles raised in shallow water—it has been seen through long ago."

Looking at those Zhenxiang Society members making all sorts of strange noises with their mouths, as if communicating and interacting with those jiaoren,

Li Chengjun couldn't help tightening his brow and cursing in a low voice:

"Damn it, such a crucial matter wasn't even told to me..."

Feng Kehai had very sharp ears and immediately snorted coldly:

"Are you talking about that traitor Chen Hui?"

Li Chengjun did not answer, the corners of his mouth hooking up into an imperceptible smile.

His lowered right hand secretly made a gesture toward behind him.

Those ten pursuers wearing respirators understood tacitly, and immediately quietly opened the valves of the gas cylinders on their backs.

The "hiss-hiss" sound of escaping gas immediately rang out.

The spray tubes connected to the gas cylinders instantly spewed out strands of pale yellow gas, emitting a strong, foul stench.

It was sprayed toward the surroundings by the pursuer team members holding the tubes in their hands.

Feng Kehai's expression changed, realizing something was wrong, and he immediately shouted:

"Hurry up and hold your breath, kill them immediately!"

Several Zhenxiang Society members hurriedly urged the jiaoren to launch an attack.

But the smoke took effect remarkably fast, seeming to have a potent stun and emetic effect.

Those jiaoren hadn't lunged forward many steps, just sniffing slightly, when they felt lightheaded.

Some were like they had drunk alcohol, swaying unsteadily, and immediately began retching.

Some emitted sharp roars, jumping back into the sea one after another.

Even Feng Kehai felt somewhat nauseated and uncomfortable. Seeing the jiaoren fleeing in all directions, he also wanted to turn around and run away.

Li Chengjun, however, snorted coldly, his eyes radiating light as he stared firmly at him.

Under the blessing of the super gravity field, Feng Kehai instantly felt his body stiffen and found it difficult to move.

As he struggled forcibly to break free, several cold gun barrels were already pressed against his eyes, mouth, and temples.

In the blink of an eye, the situation completely reversed.

"Fortunately, I also have the habit of keeping a card up my sleeve."

With a faint smile on his face, Li Chengjun walked up to Feng Kehai and politely asked:

"Can we talk about the issue of cooperation now?"

"Hehe."

Feng Kehai said disdainfully: "Didn't that traitor Chen Hui tell you? As long as you are on Yongan Island, every time you dare to show your faces, you will never be able to shake off the tracking of the truth stele."

"The President will be able to rush here soon and exterminate you lot of rats!"

"Is that so? You can try contacting them and see."

Seeing Li Chengjun's expression appear very calm,

Feng Kehai couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then closed his eyes in Meditation, and immediately his facial expression changed drastically.
