Hang Yu considered that fishmen were weaker against fire, so he made some preparations before setting out. He used up the remaining materials to create fifty Slime Bombs in one go, before heading out with Dog and Bai.
Er Gou was on standby in the Spirit Beast Space.
Bai hid in his clothes in his Little Fairy form.
At this moment.
The assembly point at Jiangxin Bridge had already been put on lockdown.
The battle for the fishmenâs lair would commence in just one or two hours.
Celestial Net combat personnel were making orderly and tense preparations as Squadron Leader Huang Yan led him to an open area.
Next to a police helicopter.
Four elite members of Celestial Net were on standby.
One was Liang Dong, tall, burly, with a face full of righteousness and a close-cropped haircut.
Another was the short-haired, tight leather-armored, valiant and imposing team leader, Liang Qiu.
The other two were unfamiliar, but judging by their aura, they seemed far from ordinary too.
One was a coldly beautiful and intellectual woman around thirty, while the other was a burly man with thick hair like a gorilla. Both should be experts of Celestial Net, possibly even at the team leader level.
"I thank you on behalf of Captain Luo for joining us."
"The elite team consists of six people in total. Youâve already met Liang Dong and Liang Qiu, so I wonât give further introductions."
"This is Ji Wen, deputy leader of Celestial Netâs ninth squad. Although currently only level 3, she is a healer and has two recovery skills, greatly ensuring our teamâs combat safety."
"This is Sun Chaosheng, leader of Celestial Netâs tenth squad, a civilian expert who recently joined through Celestial Netâs special recruitment program. His strength is very formidable, having just reached level 5. His abilities place him among the top five in the battalion, hence he was directly promoted to team leader."
The Qing Lake New Trench battle.
Hang Yu demonstrated his formidable strength.
This time, he agreed to join the elite team as a favor to Luo Yuanzheng.
Huang Yan was very polite to Hang Yu; the fact is, within Celestial Net, this squadron leader was always known for being strict, even somewhat harsh. Who wouldâve thought heâd treat an outsider with such an attitude?
"This is Hang Yu."
"The expert Captain Luo specifically recruited to help."
"His involvement is confidential and shouldnât be easily disclosed."
"In this operation, Hang Yu is the deputy leader, leading the team when necessary."
Liang Dong and Liang Qiu had no objections to this arrangement.
Ji Wen and Sun Chaosheng, however, were a bit puzzled.
In private, Ji Wen and Sun Chaosheng whispered, "With so much talent in Celestial Net, why seek outside help?"
"Hmph, itâs one thing to get outside help, but why is his position higher than us Celestial Net leaders?" Sun Chaoshengâs face, resembling a gorilla, showed displeasure, "Heâs not even a Celestial Net leader, no way Iâm taking orders from him!"
Previously a forensic doctor, Ji Wen was already within the system, and since the order came from Captain Luo, even though she had doubts, she wouldnât voice them openly.
She quickly whispered to Sun Chaosheng, "This is Captain Luoâs order."
"So what? I respect Luo because heâs stronger than me!" Beneath Sun Chaoshengâs wild and unruly exterior lay a wild and unruly heart, "If the situation were different, Iâd challenge him no doubt. You think heâd last three moves against me?"
Ji Wen couldnât help but smile wryly.
Sun Chaosheng had a distinct rough attitude.
After all, heâd entered Celestial Net through special recruitment and was promoted directly to team leader.
He was certainly different from people with a military or police background like Luo Yuanzheng, Huang Yan, Liang Dong, and Liang Qiu.
Liang Qiu was relatively close by.
Upon hearing Sun Chaoshengâs words.
She immediately whispered.
"Sun Wukong, stop bragging, or youâll end up embarrassing yourself."
"What do you mean? Are you saying Sun Chaosheng canât surpass this young guy? Let me tell you, my return from the Spirit Realm wasnât just a level up!"
Liang Qiuâs face turned cold.
As if she wasnât interested at all.
Sun Chaosheng suddenly felt underestimated.
Who does she think I am; Iâm determined to become the Captain of Celestial Net one day!
Who does Hang Yu think he is, just someone who appeared out of nowhere?
I want the sky to no longer hide my eyes, and the earth to no longer bury my heart!
"Sun Chaosheng, mind the discipline!"
Even though Sun Chaosheng lowered his voice.
With Huang Yan and Hang Yuâs hearing, they could certainly hear him.
Facing Huang Yanâs stern reprimand, Sun Chaosheng grudgingly shut his mouth with a face full of dissatisfaction.
Huang Yan said to Hang Yu, "Donât mind him, Sun Chaosheng is new here. Because of his formidable strength, he was directly promoted to team leader. Itâs natural for such a person to be somewhat arrogant."
"I understand, I understand!"
Hang Yu didnât mind.
Someone who just reached level 5 and got promoted to team leader?
Hang Yu figured that, against guys like him, he could take on five!
Of course, even though Sun Chaosheng was dissatisfied, he was just venting; there was no need to beat him up over such a trivial matter.
In about an hour.
"The battle is about to start," Huang Yan received the order, "Letâs go!"
Hang Yu, Huang Yan, Liang Dong, Liang Qiu, Ji Wen, and Sun Chaosheng.
The six formed an elite combat group and boarded the helicopter.
Huang Yan personally took the pilot seat.
The helicopter slowly ascended into the air.
They saw Jiangxin Island!
The entire region was almost entirely covered in dense fog!
This fog was so thick it completely obstructed the view, leaving the current situation on Jiangxin Island unknown.
Originally, Jiangxin Island and the two shores of Jiang City were connected by a bridge, which not only linked the two banks but also facilitated traffic across Jiangxin Island.
Since the Spirit Realm invasion.
The bridge had suffered severe damage.
It was now impassable, and Celestial Net personnel were urgently repairing it.
The Jiangxin Bridge was the best direct route to Jiangxin Island. If they could clear this path, the battle would become much easier.
Hang Yuâs task was to follow the Celestial Net elite combat group deep into enemy lines, launching a surprise attack from behind when fishmen and Celestial Net clashed at the front, disrupting or assassinating the fishmen.
"Weâre almost there!"
"Jiangxin Island hasnât seen any traffic for half a month!"
"We might face completely unfamiliar terrain."
"Additionally, there are over two thousand fishmen on Jiangxin Island, so everyone must be extremely cautious!"
After Huang Yanâs shout.
The helicopter slowly descended into the fog.
But then, something unexpected happened.
A fishbone spear shot out from who knows where, piercing through the helicopter like it was paper, punching right through the hull and out the other side.
Danger!
Enemy attack!
Weâve been discovered!
The six nearly thought this simultaneously.
Almost as soon as they had these thoughts.
A second, third, and fourth fishbone spear came flying.
One spear shattered the helicopterâs tail, rendering it unable to maintain balance, immediately spinning and beginning to plummet.
"Watch out!"
"Weâre crashing!"
"Prepare for a crash landing!"
Hang Yu had never experienced a crash before and felt as if he and the others were dice in a Gu Cup being shaken around as the helicopter spun.
The gut-wrenching sensation grew more intense.
The helicopter got closer and closer to the ground.
Finally, with a loud crash, the helicopter, smoking, spun and plummeted into the forest.
Already torn apart by the fishbone spears, the aircraft broke to pieces during the fall, becoming a heap of scrap metal.
"Survived?"
Hang Yu pushed off the heavy debris, standing up.
His eyes quickly scanned the chaos; he couldnât tell whether the others were alive.
Simultaneously, the distinctive cries of fishmen echoed from the dense woods, indicating the area was already surrounded... Itâs really an inauspicious start!
