Chapter 159: Sealing Operation [2/3]
“h.e.l.lo, Mr. Sun. My surname is Zhao, and I’m the deputy president of the a.s.sociation of Sprite Trainers in Linping City. Please follow me.”
The one who spoke was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his early forties and had a rather big belly.
His gaze swept over the team from Whale Island University. When he saw the final form sprites, he was secretly speechless.
Everyone knew that famous schools were strong, but President Zhao found out exactly how strong they were today.
Less than two hours after the emergency call signal was sent, Whale Island University had already mobilized an elite team of 20 people, all students!
Many of their sprites… President Zhao estimated that they were even stronger than his own.
“Old, I’m old.”
He had long lost the drive to break through to a higher level. He only wanted to settle the matters of the Dark Society properly so that he wouldn’t lose his position as the deputy president.
The group walked towards the a.s.sociation building not far away.
When they were downstairs, they happened to see the doors of a few special transport cars opening.
Many sprites jumped down, along with a group of people as young as them.
“They’re from Eastern Cloud University.”
The team leader of Su Hao’s 4th team was called Zhou Ming. He was an outstanding second-year student and had partic.i.p.ated in similar missions before.
He said, “The distance between Dongyun Province and Linping City is only about 100 kilometers. Apart from the reinforcements from our Whale Island University, there are definitely people from other universities from Dongyun Province.”
Zhou Ming looked at Su Hao and Bai Hongzhen. “This is your first time partic.i.p.ating in a large-scale mission. I hope you can watch, listen more, and not act on your own… A large-scale mission is completely different from an ordinary arrest mission!”
Bai Hongzhen frowned. He seemed to want to say something, but he didn’t.
Su Hao shrugged, indicating that there was no problem.
Of course, it was safer to team up.
…
The group of people filed in and arrived at the s.p.a.cious command hall.
Many professionals were sitting in front of the computers, communicating, commanding, a.n.a.lyzing, and dispatching manpower.
There were also Sprite Trainers from the local a.s.sociation of Sprite Trainers, as well as higher-ups from other sectors, who were discussing countermeasures.
When Whale Island University’s support team walked in, many people’s expressions became much more relaxed.
In front.
Instructor Sun and the other commanders were discussing.
Of course, Su Hao and the other students listened quietly.
And got ready to be dispatched.
He observed his surroundings.
Three universities from Dongyun Province came to a.s.sist. Among them, only Dongyun University was a key university. There were more than ten students in the team, but not all of them were elite-level.
The other two were just ordinary universities, with even less students.
There were only three to four, and most of them were only entry-level.
Their main force was the instructors’ team.
After all, Sprite Universities were essentially official powers.
“The instructors of ordinary universities are mostly veteran elites.”
Of course, there were definitely master-level instructors.
A key Sprite University like Eastern Cloud University even had a Heavenly King in charge.
It was just that compared to Whale Island University, the disparity was huge.
The same went for the students.
A few fourth-year students from Eastern Cloud University looked at the team from Whale Island. Their gazes swept across the sprites, and then they saw those juniors who were younger than them. Their expressions were complex.
…
At the front of the command hall, a map was shown on the screen.
The president of the a.s.sociation of Sprite Trainers in Linping City stood there and said,
“In the eastern suburbs, we tracked the traces of several Sprite Trainer criminals near the Dragon Lake Villa district. After comparing, we confirmed that they are repeat offenders recorded in the case and are related to the Dark Society.”
“After a.n.a.lysis, we have determined that there is a Dark Society base in this area…”
The map on the screen enlarged, and the range was highlighted with a red circle.
It was just a little big.
It covered the Dragon Lake Villa district and the surrounding neighborhoods.
Those who were experienced frowned.
The president continued, “We don’t dare to continue in-depth investigations. With the experience of those criminals from the Dark Society, they would be alert at the slightest sign of trouble.”
“Besides, we are surrounded by residential areas. What we are more worried about is the lunatics from the Dark Society going on a killing spree when they see that things are getting hopeless.”
It wasn’t impossible.
Those guys from the terrorist organization had countless lives in their hands. They would do anything when they were desperate.
But it would be even worse to not do anything about them.
They were time bombs that could explode at any moment.
Worried that the people from the Dark Society would s.h.i.+ft, the strategic meeting didn’t take long to be discussed. Instructor Sun came to them and started to a.s.sign tasks.
“Team 1, Team 2, follow me into the neighborhood to look for the Dark Society stronghold. Team 3, Team 4, and Team 5, you will patrol here, here, and here respectively. Pay attention to the escaped Dark Society criminals.”
“The members of the local special battle team will a.s.sist you. Ask them about the details.”
“In a minute, we will begin operations.”
…
At a main intersection, the traffic police had already set up a stop.
In order to stop outsiders from entering and to guide the people inside, out.
Further in, the local special battle teams had set up an encirclement.
Special battle teams were one of the main forces under the a.s.sociation of Sprite Trainers.
They weren’t Sprite Trainers, but they carried special firearms on them. On their wrists, they even wore Sprite Trainer wristbands that could withstand small amounts of damage.
They had experience dealing with sprites.
“Even so, we still have to rely on all of you students to deal with the wanted criminals of the Dark Society.”
“Don’t worry, Captain Fang!”
A student from Eastern Cloud University said, his tone containing some nervousness and excitement.
He looked at the four people from Whale Island University. “We’ll take the left, you take the right?”
Zhou Ming nodded nonchalantly.
Whale Island University’s four-man team walked forward with a member of the special battle team.
Looking around…
The road outside the Dragon Lake Villa district was very s.p.a.cious, but there weren’t many cars left at this point in time.
After walking for a few minutes, Bai Hongzhen suggested that they split into teams.
“If we search like this, when will we discover the criminals of the Dark Society? I think it’s best to split up. Every one of us has the ability to defeat and capture elite-level people alive. Moving alone is the most efficient.”
Captain Zhou Ming shook his head. “No, you’re all inexperienced newbies. The reason why Instructor Sun a.s.signed you to my team is that he wants me to take care of you.”
“Yes, you have the ability to defeat ordinary elite-level, but how do you know that the people in the Dark Society’s outpost are all ordinary elite-level?”
“Even if you are stronger than them, how much stronger can you be? Can you defeat the enemy’s sprites in a short period of time? Can you guarantee that they won’t capture the hostages and hurt the innocent people?”
“If you can’t, what’s the point of attacking rashly?”
He paused.
“Our team has sprites that are good at defense, attack, control, and investigation. After discovering the target, the best way to deal with it is to control the other party with lightning speed!”
Bai Hongzhen opened his mouth, but he couldn’t say anything.
Captain Zhou Ming looked at Su Hao again. “Let your Flaming Cloud Crow scout the sky. At this point, every person and every car is worth suspecting.”
After he finished speaking, he saw that Su Hao’s Flaming Cloud Crow still hadn’t flown into the sky.
He couldn’t help but frown.
“I’m already investigating,” Su Hao said. “The investigative sprite I’m referring to isn’t the Flaming Cloud Crow, but the Reverie b.u.t.terfly.”
Su Hao didn’t dare to let the Flaming Cloud Crow leave alone to investigate.
Zhou Ming: “???”
His frown deepened.
Even if Reverie b.u.t.terfly had investigative abilities, did that sprite do anything from the beginning to the end when it was lying on top of Su Hao’s head?
There was nothing!
He was a little angry until he heard…
“Two hundred meters ahead, there’s a pedestrian coming out from the corner.”
“There are two people about 100 meters to the right.”
“There are four people on the left side of the road. They move faster, so they should be cars.”
Zhou Ming was stunned.
The next moment, he saw a pedestrian in short sleeves walking out from the corner of the road ahead.
A moment later, another car whizzed over from the left and was stopped by the special battle team who had set up a card at the back.
The way he looked at Su Hao had changed.
Not far away,
A young man in casual clothes got out of the stopped car.
He scolded, “How dare you stop my car, do you know who my father is…”
But before he finished speaking, a loud boom came from the villa area.
The ground seemed to tremble.
Su Hao looked up into the distance.
