The lookout point wasn"t very high, the scenery wasn"t the most beautiful and the view wasn"t the best. However, for the princess" protection, Mu Youyun in the end chose a lower storey building to make it more convenient for him and the other 4 battle teams to hide around the location. The natural beauty of nature was indeed necessary to watch, but safety was also a factor that needed to be taken into consideration.Qi Long and the others were like tourists, walking around here and there as if they didn"t know where they were going.
When they arrived to the location Little Four had chosen for them, Ling Lan discovered that it was actually a half-abandoned factory. The new factory was moved to another location. The old location became a temporary warehouse and only had an old security guard at the front…
Ling Lan observed it for a while. The buildings around here were old and short. This location was where a city was located a few centuries ago. There weren"t many people living in the area and it can even be said that it was somewhat desolate. It wasn"t even comparable to the sight they encountered on the way to this location where there were skysc.r.a.pers in the new city. That location was full of life with roads that were filled with people.
This old area was about to be demolished and rebuilt. Many inhabitants had already moved into the new city. The ones who remained were seniors who couldn"t leave their homes in such a short period of time. This was one of the reasons why the old area seemed like a desolate wasteland.
However, the lack of people had its advantages. If there were actually people preparing to attack the princess, they wouldn"t have crowds of people to hide in. If these people made a move, they would be immediately be discovered.
After confirming that this half-abandoned factory didn"t have any surveillance cameras, Ling Lan led her teammates past the sight of the old guard and darted into the factory. Afterwards, they chose the tallest office building within the factory and climbed up to the roof.
There was a terrace on the roof. They then opened up their backpacks to take out some pipe-like materials. After some clanking and clunking sounds, the six of them were finished a.s.sembling their own firearms.
Ling Lan put together a long range sniper rifle with a range of 1500 meters.
"Boss, do you think that those people will make a move this time?" Li Yingjie asked as he finished a.s.sembling his weapon.
Ling Lan lifted her sniper rifle and pointed it towards a far distance away to finalize calibrations. Hearing Li Yingjie"s question, she replied, "They will. This a good chance for those who want to a.s.sa.s.sinate the princess. They will definitely not miss this chance."
"Will they be coming to our side?" Li Yingjie asked again.
"Who knows. They could come from any four of the directions. We just need to be responsible for our side." After calibrating her weapon, the sniper rifle had reached the peak of its performance. Ling Lan put the sniper rifle on the side.
Lin Zhong-qing, who had also finished a.s.sembling his weapon, saw Ling Lan"s action and immediately took out a high magnification scope from his backpack and gave it to Ling Lan. Ling Lan used it to look at the surrounding areas and tossed it back to Lin Zhong-qing.
In reality, with Little Four surveying the area, Ling Lan didn"t need a scope. The entire area of the old city was within her minds.p.a.ce.
Not long after, the princess and her group had arrived to the lookout point they had chosen. Ling Lan also saw that the other three battle teams had also reached the other three locations.
Ling Lan and her group sat on the roof silently. After 10 minutes or so, the sky that was originally clear as far as the eye could see, suddenly had countless red clouds form. In an instant, the blue sky was dyed blood red…
"Crash!" Thunder rumbled in the sky. The lightning was in different colors,colors such as purple, red, blue and even white. These different colored flashes of light shot down from the sky. Under the cover of the red clouds, it actually felt ominous, as though the lightning was alive. It was as though it wanted to be embraced by the people who watched it from the ground. While terrifying, it simultaneously made people drunk with its odd beauty.
Ling Lan and her group all had st.u.r.dy mentalities. Even though lightning shot down beside them one after another, the six of them didn"t move an inch. It was as though they were six lifeless statues.
If people thought that one of the 4 natural wonders of the world was just a light show, then they would be wrong. When the colorful rain dropped from the red clouds, under the sunlight, the colors of the rainbow lit up the sky. Ling Lan actually felt as if she was in a fantasy world. It was like a dream, beautiful enough to make a person never forget it in their lifetime.
Although the rainbow rain was beautiful, it was still just water. Ling Lan opened her palm and caught the rainbow-colored raindrops. It was sparkling and transparent, just like a rainbow colored gem that was filled with life as it rolled around Ling Lan"s palm.
"Boss, it"s so beautiful!" Little Four said dumbfounded as he was also in awe from this dream-like scene.
Ling Lan looked at the raindrops on her palm. Suddenly she tilted her hand and the rainbow colored raindrops trickled down her palm and fell to the ground. The raindrops shattered and splashed up some rainbow colored drops from the ground, releasing its final radiance.
Ling Lan released her aura. Her clothes that were originally soaked by the rainbow colored rain instantly became dry and could no longer be soaked. Anyone could see that there was a layer of shapeless aura around Ling Lan"s body. The rainbow rain couldn"t even touch her body.
"What"s the point of it being beautiful? These droplets would in the end return to their source. The so-called rainbow colors were only clothes given to them by nature. They are still transparent by themselves," Ling Lan said indifferently.
Ling Lan had already seen through that it wasn"t the rainbow colored rain that had different colors, but it was a combination of different elements in nature. These combination coincidently made the raindrops in this place into a fantasy-like scenery. In reality, it was the eyes of humans that were fooling themselves.
Ling Lan"s words made the others all stop and thought deeply. They did the same as Ling Lan. When the rain drops fell on them, the others all released their aura and separated their bodies from the rainbow rain. The six of them seemed as though they were sitting in the rain, but in reality, the rain did not touch them and did not get wet.
Right at that moment, Ling Lan"s expression suddenly changed, "There"s movement!" She was the first to set up her sniper rifle and pointed it towards one direction.
The other five dashed to their positions in an instant. They all picked up their weapons and pointed them towards the direction where the movement was detected.
"Unknown attackers have appeared in all four directions." Lin Zhong-qing used the high-magnification scope and told everyone what he was seeing. "Their uniforms and weapons are similar. Pretty sure the attackers are from the same group."
"There"s around 20 or so people from each direction. There"s 1,2…20,21…24 at our location." Lin Zhong-qing counted all of the people and frowned. He didn"t think that there would actually be so many attackers at their location.
"Prepare for battle." Ling Lan held the beam gun in her hand and ordered coldly as she watched the attackers get into her attack range.
"Roger captain!" The others also aimed at the attackers and silently waited for them to get into their attack range.
"12 o"clock, the location parallel to us, Startup Battle Team has begun firing." Lin Zhong-qing, who was responsible for looking out for any changes in the situation, said immediately. "They"ve scattered!"
The 24 individuals that were approaching Ling Lan"s group"s, suddenly scattered and some of them moved to a few blind spots.
"Startup Battle Team"s attack exposed the fact that the princess is surrounded by a defensive perimeter. This made the attackers realize and know about the defenses." Ling Lan didn"t feel that it was a surprise. If the enemy didn"t react, it would be considered odd.
It had to be said that the defensive position Little Four had chosen was perfect. Even if the enemy seemed as though they had hid in a blind spot, Ling Lan could still see them. It meant that, the spots that the enemies deemed to be blind spots, were actually not blind spots. Ling Lan could still find a chance to snipe them.
Finally, the enemy entered within the range of the sniper rifle. Ling Lan decisive ordered, "Fire!"
Six bullets of the reaper shot out from the six barrels. Six people silently fell to the ground. The people around them were all horrified. However, the death of these six let other people know that there were enemies around this location.
The moment Ling Lan"s group began to shoot, the Iron Curtain and Immortals Battle Teams, who were responsible for the other two sides, began firing as well. This action made the enemies understand that there were multiple groups protecting the princess and not just her royal guards…
In an office building 3 kilometers away from the princess, a few people were standing in front of a window. One of them was very young, around 25 or 26 years old. The others were all middle-aged. The young man took out his binoculars and observed the distance. Then he put it down and said, "We have acquired most of their information."
He tossed the high magnification binocular to his a.s.sistant and walked back to the front of a long table. The long table was actually a screen. This screen showed a bird"s eye view of the three dimensional model of the old city area.
He pointed at the locations where battles had begun, "Here, here, here and here, all of their defensive forces. If we want to get close to the princess, we will have to get past their defensive line."
"Did you get a good look at their defenses?" asked one of the middle-aged men.
The young man replied, "They"re probably people disguised as pa.s.sengers of Feiyang. Only this way, they would have been able to set up a defense perimeter at this location."
The middle-aged man was very satisfied with the young man"s answer. He nodded and continued, "Did you get any information on their ident.i.ty?"
The young man pointed to locations on the table. The images of The 1st Division"s Meng Shangyuan, Senior Colonel Meng"s Iron Curtain six-man battle team (intergalactic adventure group), 13th Division"s Lieutenant Colonel Kang Jiayan"s Startup six-man battle team (intergalactic adventure group) and the 17th Division"s Lieutenant Colonel w.a.n.g Anzhong"s Immortals six-man battle team (intergalactic smuggling group).
"After sending our forces in a several times and in addition the information our hackers have gathered, these people are probably here to protect the princess. Whether they are actually adventurers taking a mission or have other ident.i.ties, that is unclear," replied the young man confidently.
"Right, there"s also this." The young man touched the screen once again and the image of Yun Feiyang appeared. "It"s possible that the Yun family is also one of the groups protecting the princess."
"In that case, how do you propose we complete this mission. Our client is already pressing us and wants us to give them good news by today," another middle-aged man suddenly interjected.
"Our forces on Planet Kachi are only suitable for finding a weak point and exploiting it. I believe we should keep these three points busy and make them unable to move from their locations. Then we gather all of our forces to concentrate our attack in one spot…" The young man told everyone the plan he was thinking.
His words made all of the middle-aged individuals nod in agreement with their expressions all showing a hint of admiration. The young man smirked. After he finished this a.s.signment, the position of Huaxia"s youngest CEO was undoubtedly going to be his.
The young man decisively pressed down on a single point on the table then ordered, "Begin the a.s.sault!" The point he pointed at was the location they were preparing to attack.
When Ling Lan finished off a second person, Ling Lan put away her sniper rifle and sat there silently while watching the situation unfold below her. It should be known that the five people Ling Lan had brought were all merciless people. Not even one minute had pa.s.sed, they had already taken out ten people. Including the two people Ling Lan had taken down, the opponents instantly had their force decreased by half. Ling Lan believed that even if she didn"t do anything, her team members would have been able to easily take out all 24 people.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
In that case, why would she waste her energy. Of course Ling Lan wouldn"t admit that snipping like this didn"t pose a challenge to her and she only stopped because she lost interest in it.
Not long after, the 12 that were left over were all taken out by Ling Lan"s team members. Ling Lan and the others of course didn"t think that the situation was over because the first group of people were only responsible for scouting them out and were just cannon fodder. The real battle was coming up. The opponent had already scouted them out more or less would immediately send out stronger forces towards them.
They had arrived!
The six of them, who were already prepared, their eyes twitched a bit. In their lines of sight, countless of silhouettes appeared. Compared to the previous opponents who were trembling with fear, this group of individuals were quite agile. In a short amount of time, Ling Lan and the others couldn"t find a chance to perform a one-hit kill on these people.
Ling Lan"s sniper rifle was already locked onto one of the silhouettes. The opponent"s movements were relaxed as though he was on a walk. However, the rhythm of his footsteps made Ling Lan understand that this person was indeed an expert in physical skills.
Ling Lan calmly watched that person. She still believed that as long as he was human, no matter how strong, there would always be a chance for him to make a mistake.
Surprisingly, the chance came to Ling Lan faster than she had originally thought. Ling Lan didn"t hesitate and pulled on the trigger. In that instant, it seemed as though that person felt the shot and looked towards her direction.
"Bang!" Ling Lan"s shot had missed! No, she didn"t miss, but rather it was the person who was standing at the previous location suddenly disappeared. Ling Lan"s eyes were like radars, scanning the area. She wanted to find the location the person had hidden towards. However, she discovered that she couldn"t find the opponent"s location. It was as though he had vanished.
"Not good!" Ling Lan"s warning alarms in her head were ringing crazily. She immediately put down her sniper rifle and jumped down the roof.
As she jumped own, in the next second, Ling Lan had completely disappeared.
Around 700 to 800 meters from the roof, a bang was heard. Then two shadows appeared out of thin air and were immediately knocked apart from each other…
After backing up by three steps, Ling Lan stopped her body. She looked coldly in front of her. A middle-aged man also took a few steps back as well. The surprise and fear on his face didn"t disappear yet. It seemed that he was surprised by Ling Lan"s age and capabilities.
"Domain?" That person showed a hint of anxiousness, but quickly became steady.
Ling Lan didn"t answer, instantly pounced towards him and gave him another heavy punch.
"Come on!" shouted the middle-aged. He clenched his right hand to met Ling Lan"s attack with his fist.
"Bang!" The two of them created a shockwave and instantly created a vacuum of s.p.a.ce where the rainbow rain was blown away.
The strong Qi-Jin force pushed the two of them backwards once again. This time, having prepared beforehand, the two of them only took a short step backwards and managed to disperse the energy from the shockwave on their bodies.
