We were bound to a pillar in the center by them.
It was another open scheme.
They intended to trap us here and let us be blown up.
The special forces had already evacuated.
Likely, we were the only ones left at Stellar Group.
Beep, beep...
Listening to the bomb's countdown, Liu Yuning struggled again.
But it was useless.
"I've sent out a distress signal for support, but whether it can arrive in time is uncertain. However, even if we die, Dao Zhi Yong will lead the rest of the Punish Crime team, along with the special police, armed police, and other officers to surround Thunder God Island. Zhuge's deception ends here. Our mission is accomplished."
"Did you send out the information about the fake medicine?"
"Yes, coupled with Thunder God Island's terrain, we have an absolute chance of winning. Do you know why Zhuge withdrew?"
"They thought that by eliminating us here, they would no longer fear the threat from other officers?"
"No, he intended to kill us from the start. It would have been difficult if he had acted directly, but if he pretended to fall into the trap and lured us here, then used the method from earlier, we wouldn't have been able to escape."
"Then why are you speaking so casually now?"
"It's nothing. As long as this step is completed, we won't need to take action for the rest!"
"Alas, but I still wanted to watch tomorrow's sunrise with you."
"...Yes, Yuning, there's really no chance this time..."
"You bastard! Didn't you always say we'd be fine even when you were close to death? Why are you saying this now?"
"This time is different. Because Zhuge is too cunning. The only plan I could think of to deal with him was this. But if we die, there are still He Xin and Dao Zhi Yong. Do you know why I took Monkey as my disciple?"
"It was for today..."
"Exactly. You're right."
We closed our eyes, waiting for the bomb to explode. But at the last moment, we heard hurried footsteps outside the door.
Huh? Support shouldn't arrive so quickly, right?
Unless...
I suddenly realized something. The bomb's alarm stopped. Dao Zhi Yong, Xia Hou, Xiao Yuan De, He Xin, Su Ya Xin, and Gao Ming Qiang rushed in. The elevator was still some distance from the office. The bomb had just been disarmed by Xia Hou.
"Team leader...!"
They gathered around us and untied our ropes.
"You infiltrated long ago, didn't you?"
"Of course. Otherwise, how could we have made it in time? Those special forces have all fled to Thunder God Island. However, we've now obtained Zhuge's criminal evidence. You disguised yourselves quite well as reporters. When Minister Huang received the information, he immediately dispatched the police. We will launch the final assault tonight!"
"He Xin, we also need to assist the police and participate in this mission. We must capture Zhuge with our own hands!"
"Exactly. This is the honor belonging to every member of our Punish Crime team."
We descended from Stellar International Pharmaceutical Company. The police had all arrived, and everyone was ready for the final assault. Countless wing-ships were docked at the shore. Thunder God Island was located to the north of this island, extremely hidden, surrounded by mist, and quite large. We had used police drones, but they couldn't capture anything inside and were shot down.
"It seems we have to rely on luck this time. Old Turtle Zhuge must have chosen Thunder God Island because of its natural environment to make his last stand. He's back for revenge, to avenge the Polaris people. He probably thinks He Sheng and I are already dead." Liu Yuning said, looking at Thunder God Island with a chilling gaze.
Around 9 PM on the 17th, we had all boarded our respective wing-ships. Numerous special police and armed police, equipped with the finest gear, boarded the ships in an orderly and swift manner, maintaining vigilance.
"Punish Crime Team One!"
"Here!"
"Punish Crime Team Two."
"Here!"
"Punish Crime Team Three."
"Here!"
...
Minister Huang personally supervised from the command center. He appointed me as the overall commander for this mission.
I felt immense pressure, as this mission was even more challenging than eliminating Polaris last time.
But even if I were alone, I would bring this old turtle down!
Once the police were ready, I gave the order: "Action!"
Over a hundred wing-ships sped towards the same direction.
We gripped our weapons, remaining vigilant. Gao Ming Qiang and Xia Hou watched the turbulent sea waves with excitement. Liu Yuning and I were in the center, while Xiao Yuan De continuously practiced his punches in the air.
He Xin was checking the signal on her phone.
Dao Zhi Yong was still eating snacks.
Su Ya Xin was practicing calligraphy with a copybook.
Everyone seemed busy with other things, but in reality, a burning flame had ignited within each of them.
As we approached Thunder God Island, countless rocket launchers were fired at us. There were even artillery emplacements at sea, bombarding us fiercely. If these scoundrels are not punished, they might truly become independent in the near future.
I watched as surrounding wing-ships were sunk. Although it pained me, Minister Huang had already told me that this mission was extremely perilous. We had initially thought the casualties would be reduced, but in reality, we had underestimated Old Turtle Zhuge's strength.
At that moment, I saw the entire dark sea illuminated with fiery explosions. Almost half of the wing-ships were sunk before they could even land.
Several times, I saw rocket launchers fly past us. As the overall commander, if I were to be sunk, everyone would likely fall into disarray. In that critical moment, I instructed the pilot to move aside and took control of the wing-ship myself. Everyone else crouched down, as in addition to rocket launchers, they were also using machine guns to sweep the area. I honestly don't know how I landed, but after we reached the shore, a large contingent of special police and armed police followed behind us. We charged forward relentlessly, but everyone tried their best to clear the path for the Punish Crime team.
At this moment, my radio crackled to life: "This is Minister Huang, He Sheng. Mr. Chairman wants you to personally apprehend old Zhuge. Only you can complete this mission. You must capture Zhuge yourself..."
"Yes, I understand. I will complete this mission!"
As I spoke, I took cover near an armored vehicle. I looked around the island and saw everything except tanks. I dodged and weaved, intentionally avoiding everyone, appearing on streets filled with numerous railings and obstacles.
At this moment, He Xin sent a map. I opened my phone and saw a navigation indicator: "Father, Ou Li Ge, Old Zhuge is on the rooftop of the central four-cornered building on Thunder God Island. I've successfully hacked into their system!"
