In the middle of the night, the stronghold did not regain its peace for a long time. Ren Xiaosu looked out of the villa through the gap in the curtains. This time, he was sure that Pei Wenjin had really taken all of the spies with him after he left.
But before he could completely calm down, there was a knock on the door of the room.
Ren Xiaosu went to open the door and saw Yang Xiaojin standing at the door. He was overjoyed. She had actually taken the initiative to look for him in the middle of the night? Could it be that she wanted to spend the night talking about her ideals?
Just as he was about to say something, Yang Xiaojin covered his mouth with one hand.
Yang Xiaojin took out a piece of paper with her other hand and waved it in front of Ren Xiaosu's eyes. Ren Xiaosu saw the words "tapping device" written on the paper. While he was stunned, Yang Xiaojin let go of his hand and went back into the bedroom next door.
Ren Xiaosu looked around the room. To be honest, he had not received any professional training in this area, so he did not have the professional anti-reconnaissance abilities of Yang Xiaojin and Zhou Yingxue.
After looking around for a long time, he still could not figure out where the tapping device was installed.
However, Ren Xiaosu felt a little emotional. The Kong Clan's intelligence agency was really sinister, and each of them was even more sinister than the last.
Previously, Zhong Zhen had deliberately planted a trap at the angle of the spies' surveillance. This time, Pei Wenjin was even more impressive. He used the excuse that something had happened in the stronghold to enter the villa and conduct a thorough search.
But in the end, it was just to get his subordinates to install the tapping device. This was probably Pei Wenjin's true motive.
Pei Wenjin's men had also searched the cars outside, so they must have also been installed with tapping devices.
They were really not allowing anyone to speak. Ren Xiaosu felt a little helpless. They could not remove the tapping device yet, or else the other party would discover it too.
After all, how could a group of doctors possibly find the tapping device?
After dawn, the others started preparing the research paper for the medical exchange. Meanwhile, Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin took the opportunity to stroll around the villa's courtyard. The two of them found a place where there were no tapping devices. Only then did Ren Xiaosu say boldly, "I was the one who caused the commotion yesterday. I've already contacted Big Bluff, but it'll still be quite difficult to rescue Wang Yun."
"What's the difficulty?" Yang Xiaojin asked.
Ren Xiaosu roughly explained the situation. Actually, he felt that it would not be difficult to find the detonator in the hands of the current intelligence chief. The most difficult part was still how to save the 200-odd prisoners in the other prison.
Yang Xiaojin asked, "How do you plan to solve the problem of the detonator? It looks like you have an idea? "
Ren Xiaosu said, "Look, there's no point in finding the detonator. If we capture the other party, we'll have to force them to reveal where the detonator is. How troublesome is that? We can just kill the intelligence officer. After he's dead, it'll take a while for the new intelligence officer to take over the detonator. That'll be more than enough for us to break into the prison."
As for the steel gates and whatnot, they were not even worth mentioning in front of the black saber. So far, the only thing he had a hard time hacking at was Chen Liu 'er's Golden-Hooped Rod.
When Yang Xiaojin heard Ren Xiaosu's idea, she was speechless at first. But when she thought about it carefully, it did seem to be the case.
She asked again, "What about the 200-odd people in the other prison?"
"That's what I'm thinking." Ren Xiaosu said, "Look, it'll be too obvious if we break into a prison and rescue more than 200 people. Why don't we just think of a way to demolish the stronghold as well? That way, the entire stronghold will be in chaos and we'll be a smaller target!"
Yang Xiaojin looked at Ren Xiaosu quietly. She thought to herself that when Wang Shengzhi asked Ren Xiaosu to assassinate Kong Erdong, he probably did not expect Ren Xiaosu to give him an even bigger surprise.
Wang Shengzhi was only thinking about killing Kong Erdong, but Ren Xiaosu was already thinking about how to demolish the stronghold to cover up their operation!
But Yang Xiaojin had to admit that what Ren Xiaosu said did make sense.
But how should they demolish the stronghold, and where should they start?
…
At the same time, in the mountains to the north of the Kong Clan's territory, an extremely elite unit was crossing the mountains.
There were no Kong Clan troops stationed in the Ningjin Mountain Range at this moment because the mountain range was towering and steep. There were also three cliffs blocking the way, and the terrain in the mountains was even more terrifying than expected. Not to mention mechanized troops, even infantry troops could not pass through. Only a team of T4-ranked combatants or above could pass through.
Earlier, the Kong Clan had even set up a checkpoint here. As the Pyro Company's troops were physically strong, it was very likely they would be able to pass through here.
Later on, the Kong Clan removed the checkpoint. It was not that they did not value the Pyro Company, but they realized they were at too much of a disadvantage if they intercepted the Pyro Company in this mountain range. The Pyro Company's combatants were like monkeys, while the Kong Clan's troops were as cumbersome as oxen in the mountains. They could not even take advantage of their firearms and explosives.
Therefore, the Kong Clan retreated from the mountain range and set up fortifications on the plains outside the mountains. As long as the Pyro Company's troops left the mountain range and wanted to attack Stronghold 32 in the north, they would immediately face a terrifying metal storm.
But now, the Pyro Company's troops numbered in the hundreds who were crossing the mountains. All of them were carrying heavy luggage, but it was as though they were walking on flat ground in the mountains. The Kong Clan's hypothesis had come true. The Pyro Company had indeed hidden a special forces unit made up entirely of T4-ranked combatants.
Moreover, their target was not Stronghold 32 at all. This group of troops suddenly took a detour at Big Willow Ridge in the Ningjin Mountain Range and went around the defensive line outside the mountain range by force.
Then they headed straight for Stronghold 31, which was located south of Stronghold 32.
These people's mission was definitely not to attack the stronghold but to decapitate the enemy.
Just like Qing Zhen's evaluation of nanosoldiers, it would be the stupidest choice not to use powerful individuals on the battlefield. That was because it would weaken the individual's value.
The Pyro Company's troops were moving extremely fast. Even without any means of transportation, they could still travel 180 kilometers a day.
As a matter of fact, ordinary infantry troops could only travel about 40 kilometers a day while carrying heavy loads in the wilderness. Even if they sped up, they could only travel 70 kilometers a day.
For a war, this kind of marching speed could already be considered a long-distance raid.
Corresponding to this decapitation force, the Pyro Company's main forces at the rear were also getting restless. As long as the South announced that they had successfully decapitated the enemy, an all-out war between the Kong Clan and the Pyro Company would immediately break out!
At this moment, a man in a black robe was standing on a mountain peak and silently looking at the Pyro Company's decapitation force getting further and further away. He said with a hoarse laugh, "How can humans possibly stop fighting? Don't you think so?"
On the cliff behind him, several Experimentals with grayish skin were hanging from the cliff walls and roaring in response to their king's mockery.
These Experimentals were different from the ones the Central Plains people had seen before. They came from the Arctic Prison further north. The king in the north had allowed the black-robed warlocks to turn the thousands of prisoners in the prison into his own army. It was like a god had sown the seeds of a plague in the human world.
However, it had never been easy to convert Experimentals. Out of the thousands of prisoners, only a few dozen new Experimentals appeared.
