The night was oppressive and dark.
The dim light from the oil lamp lingered in the quiet village. Even the hounds dared not howl, making the night seem a little strange.
With a swoosh, a dagger silently slid across the skin of the neck, easily tearing apart the main artery. The scream that he wanted to let out was blocked in his mouth. Blood spurted out, and another soldier fell to the ground.
Five seconds later, Tang Ling let go of the soldier and wiped his dagger on the soldier's body. He twirled the dagger and sheathed it at his waist.
This was the last one. Tang Ling picked up the walkie-talkie without any expression and spoke into it in an agitated and panicked tone, "Captain, we have a situation. We've found the suspect, but he's resisting … "
"Li Fu, Olaire is dead and the suspect is injured. Damn it, what should I do? All I can do is stay here. This is a great merit, but I have to report it to the captain first. "
When the captain outside the village heard the report, his hand that was holding the walkie-talkie trembled a little.
Since there was nothing under the walls, he did not have much hope in the village, but he did not expect to find something.
That damned but cute soldier was right. This is a great merit. The fact that he chose to report it to the captain at the first moment was a smart move.
He held back his excitement and said, "Report your location. Before I get here, don't tell anyone else."
"Hmm, he's injured? Is it serious? Hmm, I understand. "
The captain hung up the walkie-talkie and dashed into the village, but right after he crossed the gate, he was greeted by a cold dagger.
Less than 20 seconds later, the captain fell to the ground silently.
As a matter of fact, it was not a problem for Tang Ling to deal with these people who were almost as strong as the elite warriors of Safety Sector No. 17.
If he did not need a certain amount of time to collect information, he could have killed 10 of the men in charge of the search, but it would be meaningless. Once the information got out, his whereabouts would be exposed and he would not be able to escape from Raqir Plains.
Without any expression, Tang Ling changed into the captain's uniform and hung the bullets around his waist. He only brought a pistol and a machine gun with him as he walked out of the village.
Who else could it be other than Tang Ling who had the guts to switch the person under the enemy's nose?
In the last few minutes, he made a big choice.
He gave up on the idea of crossing the grasslands and snuck into the village while the wolf disaster was still ongoing. He disguised himself as a member of the Stardust Council.
It was a risky idea, but compared to the fact that it would take at least 15 minutes to reach the edge of the Raqir Plain, the cost-performance ratio of the plan was much higher.
His familiarity with the map gave him an advantage, so he chose Pibino Village, which was the closest to him.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly.
Under everyone's gaze, Tang Ling walked out of the village and hopped on a motorcycle without any expression.
Can he drive it? No! However, during the massacre just now, he had already asked about the driving method.
It was simple and not difficult at all. Praise the old civilization's technology!
Tang Ling slanted a final glance at a certain corner of the city wall before he sped away on his motorcycle.
All that was left was Wodino, who was trembling non-stop under the walls.
He recognized it. It was that guy, the audacious suspect. He actually escaped just like that.
Recalling his threatening words, Wodino decided not to say a word about what happened.
The young man was too scary. He was like a demon from hell. He was not only powerful, but he was also cunning enough to make people despair.
**
Inside the spacious office.
The entire map of the Raqir Plain was displayed on the giant transparent monitor.
Tang Long was looking at the map seriously. No one knew what was going through his mind.
The troops had been deployed for 16 minutes, but they had yet to find anything.
In the next second, Tang Long stood up.
His slender fingers suddenly pointed at three locations, one of which was Pibino Village.
"Gather a third of the troops and head to these three locations! Move as fast as you can and contact six Purple Moon Warriors to head to these three locations as well, "Tang Long ordered.
He did not explain nor did he need to. An indescribable rage rumbled in his heart. He was still thinking about why he let Tang Ling go when they brushed shoulders.
Was it because his acting was too realistic? Yes!
With Precise Instinct, even if his emotions were not on point, he could still make any kind of expression. All he had to do was calculate every expression and the curve of his facial muscles.
As for the gaze, could he not mimic it precisely?
Precise Instinct! Haha, Precise Instinct!
My little brother, do you have Precise Instinct too? Tang Long had a mysterious smile on his face, but it was cold and emotionless.
Although the title 'little brother' was magical, it was just a noun in Tang Long's eyes.
**
Tang Ling rode his motorcycle madly towards the south.
His mind was running simulations of possible search routes, possible checkpoints, and with the speed of the Purple Moon Warriors, where would they be?
As a matter of fact, no matter how he ran the simulations, there was one thing that he could not avoid: the border!
If Young Master Long was smart enough …
Why would he think that way? Tang Ling shook his head. When it came to planning, he always had his own pride. Although he didn't look down on anyone, there weren't many people who could match up to him.
Young Master Long, whom he had only met once, was considered a threat?
Tang Ling rode against the wind and accelerated the motorcycle to its maximum speed. This route was a route that he had calculated beforehand.
Based on the number of troops that were heading south, they would have to spread out and search separately in the vast grassland.
He had chosen one of the possible search routes, and now, all he had to do was catch up to the unlucky bastard that was on the same route.
With that in mind, the unlucky bastard appeared in Tang Ling's sight.
Perhaps it was a little lonely and scary to search the grassland alone, but the bastard did not ride fast. He would look around from time to time while holding the walkie-talkie tightly in his hand.
Would it make him feel safe?
When he heard the motorcycle behind him, he turned around and saw that it was one of his own. He heaved a breath of relief, but in the next moment, a bullet pierced his chest!
The intense and sudden pain made him spit out a mouthful of blood. He quickly turned on the walkie-talkie.
Unfortunately, in the next moment, another bullet pierced his throat before the walkie-talkie even lit up.
Another motorcycle stopped in front of him. A hand picked up his walkie-talkie. Then, he coughed repeatedly and said into the walkie-talkie with a muffled voice, "Damn Stone, I've flipped over."
"It's fine. I thought something happened to you, but it's just a scratch."
After that, Tang Ling crushed the walkie-talkie that he brought with him earlier and hung a new one on his shoulder. He then quickly tossed the body and the motorcycle that he rode into a shallow pit and covered everything with a big patch of grass.
"Good stuff." Tang Ling took a pack of cigarettes from the dead soldier and lit one for himself.
He was out of cigarettes. The last pack of cigarettes that Uncle Su Siao left for him before he went to sleep had been used up.
He missed the calming feeling of tobacco.
He lit it up and looked up. He saw two purple lights dashing towards a certain direction from afar.
With the cigarette in his mouth, Tang Ling hopped on the unlucky bastard's motorcycle. He started it up without any expression and sped towards the south.
"Looks like I've run into an opponent." Tang Ling squinted his eyes. It seemed like his peaceful time was running out. His only goal now was to reach the border before everything was exposed.
Of course, the southern border was connected to the Santos Ridge in the east of the Herrocky Mountain Ridge, so it was unrealistic for the Stardust Council to lock it down.
Then, where would they set up the blockade and set up a checkpoint?
If Tang Ling really ran into an opponent, there was still the second half of the game.
**
When the two Purple Moon Warriors arrived at Pibino Village, they saw nine empty motorcycles and a group of trembling villagers who were still standing on the spot.
Swoosh! One of the Purple Moon Warriors landed on the ground.
He took the walkie-talkie out without any expression. "Pibino Village, something's wrong."
Tang Long held the walkie-talkie in his hand and tilted his head. No one knew what he was thinking about. The two generals beside him were trembling in fear.
They had heard the continuous battle reports. A body was found under the walls of Pibino Village, three bodies were found in Pibino Village, and then Pibino Village …
How could the enemy escape after being surrounded and hunted down? It was a huge humiliation for them.
However, Tang Long did not show any emotion on his face. His finger seemed to be unconsciously tapping on the map.
Upon a closer look, the map showed a few search routes, including the escape route that Tang Ling had chosen.
However, Tang Long didn't care about these escape routes. His mind was constantly calculating some things, and his eyes kept scanning the borders.
"First, Second …" He calculated in his heart before he picked up the communicator.
"Base 11, set up a checkpoint at coordinates 33.76. Yes, the Purple Moon Warriors that you sent are stationed there.
"Ozick Base, set up a checkpoint at coordinates 45.90."
Ever since Tang Long gave the order, he had not stopped talking. Precise orders were given one after another without a second thought.
After the call, he took out a special communicator from his pocket and keyed in a 21-digit password. His tone sounded a little respectful as he said, "Godfather."
"Yes, it's Tang Ling. I'm sure of it.
I need the authority to mobilize the Dark Shadow Squad. "
"So, the Adder Squad is the fastest to arrive? Fine, it's them then. I need them to contact me as soon as possible. "
"Okay, I'll head to the temple at dawn."
Tang Long then hung up the special communicator. Next, he had to wait for the Adder Squad to contact him.
He wanted to play a game of chess that was closely linked and had no chance of losing.
He stood up and poured himself a glass of water. Through the window, he looked at the grasslands. "My dear brother, are you ready? Don't think that this is the second half of the game because I really want to know how you're going to break it. "
**
The southern border of the Raqir Grasslands was 17 kilometers long.
Almost every five kilometers, there was a checkpoint set up by the Stardust Council and every checkpoint was guarded by at least one Purple Moon Warrior.
There was a steel net between every interception point, and there were bells on the steel net. They were arranged in a rather strange manner, but as long as one of them was touched, it would trigger a chain effect, and a series of bells would ring out.
"Maybe a fly can get through." Krovsky stood in front of the steel net and waited patiently. He was also a little annoyed by the strong light from the searchlights.
Was it necessary? Just to catch someone who was not even a Purple Moon Warrior, they had to install a searchlight every 500 meters.
A motorbike was silently abandoned about three kilometers away from the southern border.
In front of it, a figure was hiding in the bushes, calculating and waiting.
It was Tang Ling.
He gave up on the motorcycle in time and chose to walk for the last part of the journey. Finally, he was within a kilometer away from the border.
With the help of the searchlight, Tang Ling had a clear view of the situation at the border.
Just like what he had calculated, all he had to do was set up three checkpoints along the southern border to cover the entire border.
The three checkpoints were the most prominent spots along the southern border like three sharp horns that pierced into the Raqir Grasslands.
No matter where one crossed the border from the south, one would have to pass through these three checkpoints.
The checkpoint was actually nothing special. There were many ways to break the checkpoint, but the safest and most time-saving way was to go to the intersection point of the southeastern border and go around the border.
The terrain there was complicated, so the checkpoints could not cover the entire area. There were also many hiding spots, so it was the perfect checkpoint.
However, Tang Ling gave up on the idea because he would be easily trapped there.
As long as the enemy deployed more troops and set up a checkpoint at the Santos Branching Ridge on the other side of the border, Tang Ling would be easily trapped if he barged in recklessly.
Since there was no way out in front, the other troops could easily gather at the checkpoint behind him, but due to the complicated terrain, he could not retreat right away.
Of course, setting up the checkpoint on the other side of the checkpoint would risk wasting limited troops, so he would need to have a strong strategic foresight. Tang Ling respected Young Master Long enough, so he believed he would set up the checkpoint at the southeastern corner.
Therefore, after some consideration, Tang Ling chose the route that most people would not choose — crossing the border from the middle corner.
If the three points in the south were the three sharp corners, then the longest corner would be the middle corner.
On top of that, because he was in the middle, the troops from the other two checkpoints would be able to reinforce him quickly.
However, Tang Ling had his own plans since he had to consider everything from the big picture.
He calculated that it had been 27 minutes since he left Pibino Village, and he could set up a lot of things in just 27 minutes.
If he were Tang Long, what would he do?
Would the game only have a second half? Definitely not! It would be too boring!
Tang Ling squinted his eyes, which were gleaming with excitement. He had already decided on the way to break the checkpoint at the tight border.
