The King of Special Warfare Chapter 144

Chapter 144 Exposure

Heavy rain capsized Dongdu.
Ninghu, a few hundred kilometers from Dongdu, was sunny.
Nine o’clock in the morning.
Li Tianlan, dressed in a tracksuit and reappeared as a young mute, walked leisurely on the neat and tidy street of Ninghu and pulled an excessively bulky draw-bar box, looking like a young man traveling abroad alone. He was so ordinary that no attention was paid to him along the way.
In the morning, the warm sunshine quietly spread all over the city, making people feel warm and comfortable. Li Tianlan had abandoned his makeshift vehicle about 20 kilometers away from Ninghu and was walking aimlessly now. He stopped by a nice, clean hotel that didn’t look fancy, thought for a moment, and finally walked into the lobby.
After checking in, he dragged his luggage upstairs. Although he acted as a mute, because he had a false identity that seemed very real and a bunch of yen, all the process was extremely simple and smooth, without any accident.
Li Tianlan’s economy suite was on the third floor, which was a height where no matter what happened, he would be able to handle the accident neatly. The space of the suite in East Island Style was moderate, but the suite itself was extremely clean, simple, and elegant. The only drawback was that it was close to the block. Although its sound insulation effect was good, vaguely, the outside was still a bit noisy.
Li Tianlan, however, was very satisfied with the current environment.
He came from the stormy Dongdu to the sunny Ninghu. After fierce battles, what he needed most now was rest.
Nine o’clock in the morning.
If there was no accident, he could sleep until supper time and even have a taste of the world famous Ninghu beef. Then he could go on a hunting mission in the night.
Throwing the trunk aside, Li Tianlan sat on the tatami with a calm expression on his face and again fished out a list from his body.
On the list, four names, namely Sanlun Tengjing, Miyamoto Shinei, Akino Takeda, and Akai Nakamura had been underlined. For Li Tianlan, it was a sign that the four people had died. The remaining twenty-six people were his following hunting goals.
Among the four people, Sanlun Tengjing and Miyamoto Shinei were the hunting targets that Li Tianlan deliberately went to find. And the remaining two were unexpected surprises. They were killed by him when he rushed into the headquarters on Takeshita Street.
They were of the Fire-flaming Realm, but their positions were important; one was in charge of logistics, and the other was in charge of intelligence. They were killed easily. With the deaths of the four people, the East Island government’s plan to take over all the forces of Night Spirit in East Island would undoubtedly be thwarted. Many people may not realize it yet, but as the hunt continued in the march of the three young Heavenly Sons from Zhongzhou State, the entire East Island would gradually realize who they were hunting. When the time came, not to mention whether there would be anyone actively fighting for those positions left by Night Spirit, even some figures in the headquarters of Night Spirit, who were unwilling to be incorporated and then lost their autonomy, might have other ideas, too.
Li Tianlan lit a cigarette.
He took a deep breath, put aside the affairs in Dongdu, and began to study the list in front of him.
In Ninghu, Li Tianlan was in charge of hunting three people, and one of the most important people was called Dubian Xiangyuan. Different from the people in the Dark World or the personnel who were temporarily sent to take over Night Spirit by the East Island government after the fall of it, Dubian Xiangyuan had always been an important figure in Night Spirit. Furthermore, he was also a well-known figure in East Island and even around the world.
Of course, Dubian Xiangyuan’s fame was limited to certain fields, like genetics and biology.
He was one of the most famous doctors in genetics and biology in the world. On the list in Li Tianlan’s hands, Dubian Xiangyuan’s strength was modest compared with that of others. In terms of the difficult of assassinating him, it was no more difficult than killing Miyamoto Shinei. However, the Sky Academy would award anyone who killed the former two hundred extra credits than those who killed the latter. It showed how valuable the head of the top doctor was.
Li Tianlan stared silently at the name of Dubian Xiangyuan. After a long while, he unrolled the map of Ninghu that he had picked up at the hotel and located the operation.
Sensō-ji, in the western suburb of Ninghu.
This was the address in the information that Han Shixun had offered, which was very detailed yet very vague.
Under this historic ancient temple in Ninghu was Dubian Xiangyuan’s secret institute. But there was not a shred of information mentioning the institute.
Sensō-ji was the only clue about Dubian Xiangyuan.
The cigarette was burning out.
Li Tianlan tapped the map with his fingers silently.
Sensō-ji was about 50 kilometers away from the downtown of Ninghu. From where Li Tianlan was now, there were at least a dozen roads leading to his destination. The transportation was very convenient. It also meant that he wouldn’t have much of a problem retreating once he succeeded.
But his big problem now was how to get into the unknown biological institute beneath Sensō-ji instead of how to retreat.
Li Tianlan looked at his watch, hesitated a little, and wondered if he should go to Sensō-ji to have a look first.
Sensō-ji in Ninghu was one of the tourist attractions. If he went there during the day, there would be little, if any, gain.
He put out the cigarette and gave up the idea of going to Sensō-ji. He then lay down on the tatami and rested with his eyes closed.
He was half asleep when the phone rang in the suite.
He frowned, rolled over, and went back to sleep.
Time flew when he was half asleep.
About an hour later, the knock on the door suddenly sounded from the outside. The knock was very light and the visitor seemed cautious.
Li Tianlan, a light sleeper, opened his eyes immediately. The silver Human Emperor had slipped out of his sleeve.
Li Tianlan was impassive. When he was about to inquire about the identity of the comer, he suddenly realized that he was dumb. He narrowed his eyes slightly, stood up calmly, went to the door, and opened it.
An East Island girl, who looked about 27 or 28 years old, was standing in front of the door. She looked at Li Tianlan with a flushed face and seemed embarrassed.
This was a woman who was, in the eyes of most people, extremely pretty. A few streaks of her hair were dyed a very plain grey. With soft and charming features, she wore a tight shirt that showed off her slender waist and ample bosom. She was wearing a short skirt, seductive mesh stockings over her tender legs, and black stiletto heels.
A faint fragrance wafted into Li Tianlan’s nostrils. The woman clutched a delicate and simple looking lady’s bag with her small hands and asked in a low voice, “Did you call the service?”
She spoke Japanese softly in a charming tone, which sounded overly sweet and sexy.
Li Tianlan frowned slightly. He could not speak, so he just shook his head coldly and intended to close the door.
“Please wait.”
The woman looked alarmed. She held out an arm to stop Li Tianlan and bit her lip, whispering, “Sir, I’m clean. Moreover, I’m married. My skill is excellent and I can certainly make you satisfied. If you don’t like me, I…”
Li Tianlan’s eyes narrowed slightly. He suddenly opened the door a little and motioned her in.
The woman was surprised and looked at Li Tianlan subconsciously.
Li Tianlan pointed to his mouth, indicating that he could not speak, and stood aside in the doorway.
The woman hesitated a little and clenched the lady’s bag in her hands. With high heels under her feet, she walked into the bedroom with a gust of fragrance.
After entering the room, the woman put her bag aside. She turned around and bit her lip, looking at Li Tianlan and saying in a soft, obedient voice, “Shall we begin now? I…”
Her face flushed and she looked anxious and shy. “I can use my mouth first. Ah, I’d better take off my clothes first.”
Li Tianlan nodded his head calmly.
The woman, who seemed a little shy, turned away and bent her head to unbutton her shirt. Her long hair hung loose about her shoulders and a part of her tender neck was revealed. All these made her seductive.
Li Tianlan went over and stroked her neck gently.
The woman’s body became stiff. Her face grew redder and her hand, which was unbuttoning the shirt, trembled slightly.
“You have a nice figure, but you are carrying killing intent.”
The only thing left in the quiet room was the woman’s panting. Li Tianlan’s voice sounded abruptly, and he spoke Chinese articulately.
Before he could finish his words, the facial expression of the woman who was unbuttoning her shirt had changed dramatically. He had hardly uttered the first two words when she turned sharply around.
In the twinkling of an eye, he closed his palm which was near her neck, but he caught nothing.
The woman had unbuttoned the third button on her shirt. She reached into her bosom and pulled out two daggers that glowed eerily green.
Then she turned around.
Li Tianlan just finished his sentence at this moment.
Both of them acted extremely fast.
The moment the woman turned around, the Human Emperor in Li Tianlan’s hand already changed its shape slightly. It was neither a spear nor a sword now.
Copper jutted out from the thin tip of the spear.
Human Emperor directly turned into a dagger.
Stabbing!
“Swish!”
When the woman holding two daggers was still unsteady on her feet, the Human Emperor had been mercilessly stabbed into her abdomen.
Li Tianlan slightly twisted the Human Emperor with a deadpan expression.
“Crack!”
In the clear cracking sound made by metal, the Human Emperor quaked slightly, and the blades on either side of the spearhead extended directly in the woman’s body.
Li Tianlan’s hands were always steady. With a ferocious and cold look in his eyes, he pulled out the dagger in a flash.
A large hole in an odd shape suddenly appeared in the woman’s abdomen and blood gushed from her mouth. She stared at Li Tianlan, whose eyes had been tender and passionate but now were full of ferocity and cruelty, and opened her mouth, “You…”
“There are too many questionable points in you.”
Li Tianlan added calmly, “I told you there was killing intent in you.”
“Do you know Heavenly King Heart?” he asked, raising his eyebrows slightly and looking at the woman in front of him.
Given the look in the woman’s eyes, she was suddenly enlightened. She took a deep breath, let the blood gush out of her body, and rushed toward him without hesitation.
The room was ablaze with the light of flames. Instead of being fiery orange-red, the light was ghastly green.
Her body swelled so rapidly that it seemed to have expanded several times in the blink of an eye. As she got bigger, a dull thud rang inside her and she exploded!
The ghostly green flames were completely out of control in a flash and crazily devoured everything in the room. A great deal of green liquid burst out from the woman’s body and completely enveloped Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan’s body shook.
A great deal of liquid ran through him.
His real body, however, had already appeared behind the woman.
He pulled the large draw-bar box in the room that contained the Skyattack and took a few strides. He then broke the window with his body and jumped straight off the third floor without hesitation.
His body, dragging the box, fell to the ground with the countless broken pieces of glass, amid the messy cracking sounds.
Behind him.
The green flames spread across the third floor in eerie shades of light.
Li Tianlan straightened up and started running, without turning his head.
Carrying a huge box with one hand, he stepped over the railings beside the road with the assistance of another and rose into the air.
A silver-white Lexus whizzed down the road.
Li Tianlan’s feet pounded hard on the top of the Lexus.
He swapped positions using the Shadow Formula.
In the next second, he was already on the other side of the road.
Without stopping, he left the scene at full speed, carrying the box.
It was only when his figure appeared on the other side of the street that some figures around the hotel who seemed to have no intention of lingering there at all finally came to their senses.
“Chase!”
When everyone present was subconsciously silent, a cold, resolute voice suddenly sounded.
Right in front of the hotel, a middle-aged man in a suit who looked like a business elite ripped off his suit jacket. His figure flashed, and almost in the blink of an eye, he ran across the block, following the direction Li Tianlan had left.
As he sprinted, he pulled out a walkie-talkie and spoke quickly to the man on the other end, “Target confirmed. With silver hair, he’s wearing a blue tracksuit and carrying a large suitcase. All teams, intercept him and seal off this block.”
He paused for a short while and then spoke more rapidly. “Transfer helicopters here!”
Carrying a large suitcase at a brisk pace, Li Tianlan swapped positions with his shadows constantly. A few minutes later, the pursuers behind him grew farther and farther away.
He, however, did not relax a bit but had a heavy heart.
East Island…
At that moment, he realized that he had, after all, underestimated the power of the Special Warfare System of East Island.
From Dongdu to Ninghu.
The two places were just hundreds of kilometers apart. And within less than 12 hours, the Special Warfare System of East Island actually had already latched his position.
Now that he was on the run, Wang Shengxiao and Gu Hanshan were certainly no better off.
It was surely not so easy to fight against a country’s Special Warfare System.
To put it simply, after the initial hunt, they were exposed!
.
The streets were alive and crowded with people.
Li Tianlan ran quickly across a block.
Vaguely, more and more people seemed to be intercepting him. They came here from all directions and it seemed that they could surround him in a very short time.
His eyes were cold. He clenched the Human Emperor in his hand and was about to force his way out. Just then, he heard the roar of the car engine.
A black Benz came careening toward him, knocking over two East Islanders on the side of the road and stopping in front of him at last.
His eyes narrowed subconsciously.
The window of the Benz rolled down and a demure, charming face appeared in his sight. The woman looked at Li Tianlan and nodded her head, saying directly, “Get in the car. I can help you.”
