After nightfall, everyone quietly climbed to the top of the mountain and looked down at the faint flicker of fire below. Xiao Wen and Wen Le exchanged a glance and took a deep breath before gesturing to the people behind them.
38 earth-elemental ability users and 12 other strongest attackers were integrated into the assault team, led by Xiao Wen and Wen Le to bypass the mountain and start their attack from behind the factory. Mo Yan and two other officers led 400 soldiers, mainly composed of soldiers with strong physical abilities, to form the main attacking force. Once they received Xiao Wen’s signal, these 400 soldiers would launch a weapon attack on the mountain in the first wave. The remaining 200-odd people, including 100 long-range attackers led by Nian Gongga, would be responsible for conducting ability attacks on both sides of the first wave. The rest of the people were led by a wind-elemental ability user to guard the rear of the army and were mainly responsible for retreat.
Wen Le walked at the front, and the whole team quietly made their way through the mountains and forests until they reached the weakest part of the mountain wall that he had discovered earlier.
“Take turns to dig until we have a tunnel large enough for two people to pass through. Try to keep your voices down,” Wen Le instructed the earth-elemental ability users.
Everyone nodded, and Wen Le made way for them to start working.
As the earth-elemental ability users took turns digging, Wen Le followed the one at the front, going deeper and deeper into the tunnel. He made a pause gesture, stopping the earth-elemental ability user beside him. As the tunnel grew deeper, Wen Le’s mental strength extended further into the factory’s range. They were now only twenty meters away from the factory, but Wen Le’s mental scan of the soil and rocks above them showed no signs of collapse due to their excavation, which put his mind at ease.
He instructed the ability users to continue digging, but at a slower pace.
It was getting closer and closer. When Wen Le stopped again, they were less than a meter away from the space inside the factory.
Wen Le’s mental power had already penetrated deeply into the interior of the factory and naturally discovered the dense distribution of monitors inside. Although the monitors were not rotating, Wen Le couldn’t guarantee that they wouldn’t be discovered by the other side once they entered.
Wen Le quietly informed Xiao Wen of the situation, and after thinking for a moment, Xiao Wen asked the earth-based ability user next to him to make a small hole in the wall less than a meter thick.
At the same time, Xiao Wen’s hand was already on the button that launched the locator signal.
“Once an anomaly occurs after the connection is established, you will directly open all the channels.” Xiao Wen said to the ability user who had already placed his hand on the wall, ready to act at any time, then turned around to remind the people behind him, “After entering, if you are discovered, everyone should disperse and disrupt the opponent’s sight. First, ensure your own safety. Got it?”
The ability users behind him all nodded.
Xiao Wen tensed his body and nodded to the earth-based ability user who was ready.
Ring!
The deafening alarm sounded throughout the mountain. Xiao Wen didn’t have time to curse and immediately sent the signal. At the same time, the earth-based ability user who heard the alarm for the first time opened the entire wall according to Xiao Wen’s command.
Their previous worries became reality. The wall of the factory near the mountain did have an alarm device, but fortunately, it was not the strong metal wall they had imagined. If there was a metal wall blocking them, it would have been very difficult for them to enter the interior of the factory from here.
As soon as the wall was opened, Wen Le was the first to enter the interior.
Previously, Wen Le’s spiritual power did not detect any soldiers stationed in the positions he could sense. He estimated that the other side couldn’t even imagine that at this time, someone would bypass the main entrance and penetrate deep into the interior!
At the moment when Wen Le and the others broke through the mountain, the entire alarm sounded throughout the valley. At the same time, Mo Yan received the signal from Xiao Wen.
“Attack!” Mo Yan gave the order, and the people behind him were already prepared, geared up and ready to go. The first two rows of people carrying machine guns rushed down the hill, followed closely by soldiers with rifles. The people led by Nian Gongga on both sides, responsible for supernatural attacks, also rushed down the hill with guns in hand.
“Enemy attack!” At the sound of the alarm, Yao Jin, in charge of occupying the factory, stood up directly and ran out of the office.
“Can you find out what’s going on?” As soon as Yao Jin entered the factory’s original central control room, he asked.
The two soldiers who were buried in the control room continued to adjust the machine in front of them while responding to Yao Jin’s words.
“No, sir, we still can’t break through the password of the monitoring system.”
Yao Jin cursed lowly and turned around, walking quickly towards the command room.
“Sir, the alarm should have been triggered from within the factory. Someone should have used the earth-based ability to penetrate the mountain and trigger the alarm system,” said Zhao De Yang, the chief of the guards, who followed behind Yao Jin.
Yao Jin nodded as he walked, but before he could give orders, a battalion commander ran up to him.
“Sir! There are enemies attacking the main gate from the opposite mountain!”
Yao Jin was stunned and his face turned serious.
Just now, he thought it might be some small-time thieves trying to take advantage, but he didn’t expect that there would be someone cooperating with them.
“How many people are they?” Yao Jin asked with a grim face.
“At least a battalion, and their weapons and equipment are not inferior to ours!” the battalion commander replied.
“How is that possible?!” Yao Jin exclaimed. “Are you saying that their equipment can match the army’s?”
The battalion commander nodded. “At least their weapons seemed similar to ours just now, but I don’t know about their ammunition reserves.”
“Go, inform the second battalion. Your two battalions are responsible for resisting the front attack. De Yang, you notify the third battalion to immediately arrange for people to search inside the factory. We must catch that rat!” Yao Jin gritted his teeth and ordered.
Daring to pull out a tooth in a tiger’s mouth, did they really think the army was eating for nothing?!
Xiao Wen and the others did not know the situation ahead. As soon as they entered the factory, they saw large and incredibly huge machines quietly distributed around.
Without bothering to carefully check if there were any living beings inside the huge machine like small mountains, Wen Le quickly walked around, sweeping his spiritual power to confirm that there were no living objects inside the machines. He then extended his hand to store the machines into his space.
The people following behind Xiao Wen and Wen Le stared wide-eyed as Wen Le, with just a touch, turned the previously large machines into empty shells with only small holes fixed with steel nails.
As each machine was collected into the space, everyone couldn’t help but be amazed at the size of Wen Le’s space. Even the smallest machine here was over ten cubic meters, and the largest was almost forty or fifty cubic meters! With such a continuous collection, wouldn’t Wen Le’s space burst?
What they didn’t know was that luck was clearly on their side this time. They had entered directly into the weapons manufacturing workshop through the mountain wall, and didn’t need to spend time searching before making contact with their target.
It wasn’t until the massive workshop was completely cleared out that the group arrived at the only iron door in the workshop.
Just as Xiao Wen was about to open the door, Wen Le grabbed his hand and said to everyone, “After we leave, we head straight for the right passage, where there are more machines.”
Although they didn’t know what kind of machines were there, it didn’t prevent Wen Le from clearing them out. Any machine that could be placed in the weapons factory was definitely not useless.
Upon receiving Wen Le’s words, all the people, led by Xiao Wen, nodded.
Opening the door, they walked lightly, quickly turned right, and followed Wen Le towards the target iron door. In the dark passage, they could already hear the sound of intense running, which meant that the other side had begun to send people to search the factory.
The rearguard, a earth system ability user, had a sudden inspiration and pulled over a gold system ability user.
“You can generate metal, right? Seal this door.”
The gold-elemental ability user who was pulled over didn’t ask for the reason and immediately placed his hand on the door, connecting the iron door to the door frame with generated metal. Unless they broke through the wall, no one could enter the door except for him.
Wen Le led the charge to the target iron door, but it was closed. Even if they had enough time, they wouldn’t necessarily be able to open the multiple password locks that had been set.
Without a word, Xiao Wen fired a round at the entire door frame with his gun, and then kicked the door open.
Wen Le didn’t have time to marvel at Xiao Wen’s violence, rushing into the workshop and starting to sweep again.
Because their noise was too loud, the sound of footsteps from the passage grew closer. With the previous behavior of sealing the door, the gold-elemental ability user had someone lift the iron door and fix it in place again.
Dadada…
Just tens of seconds after the door was fixed, there was the sound of machine gun fire outside.
“Pick up the pace.” Xiao Wen couldn’t help but tell Wen Le.
Wen Le didn’t have time to wipe the sweat off his face, and grabbed onto Xiao Wen’s clothes.
“You run with me, I’m too slow on my own.”
Xiao Wen grabbed Wen Le and began to run quickly. The entire workshop could only see a trail of shadows passing by, and all the machines in their path disappeared.
Even the heavily made metal door couldn’t withstand continuous machine gun fire. By the time the workshop became empty again, the metal door was already on the verge of collapsing.
Xiao Wen gathered everyone in front of the iron door.
Seeing that Xiao Wen was still hesitating, Wen Le directly gave orders to everyone.
“Earth-based superpower, immediately build two earth walls, be careful everyone, try to avoid casualties. As for the enemy, kill one for every one that comes, even if they come in a thousand, we will kill a thousand! This is not the time for mercy, if we don’t kill them, their guns will be aimed at us! “
As soon as Wen Le finished speaking, the two earth walls at a 45-degree angle to the gate appeared in the workshop. Before everyone had time to react, the gate collapsed with a bang.
Da da da
As Wen Le had predicted, the other side didn’t have any time to ease up. Countless bullets flew into the workshop as soon as the gate opened.
In the face of the fierce attack, the people on this side fought back even more fiercely. The gold-based superpower, due to the nature of their power, was impervious to bullets and was standing in the middle of the two earth walls. Facing the barrage of bullets, they fiercely fired their machine guns.
In less than two minutes, the enemy’s firepower began to weaken. After all, Xiao Wen and Wen Le had brought superpowers, and while the machine gun was firing, all the superpowers were attacking with their powers and firearms. Spikes, fireballs, and lightning bolts filled the smoky passage.
In fact, the enemy also had a lot of superpowers, but Wen Le immediately eliminated them, not giving the enemy a chance to counterattack with their powers.
After nearly ten minutes of intense killing, the gunfire finally stopped. Wen Le used his psychic power to confirm that there were no living people outside before they set out on their sweeping path again.
The next action was not as easy as before, almost all of it was fighting against the enemy while Wen Le gathered the machines.
By the time the third battalion ran to the command center and requested support, Wen Le had already cleared out almost half of the factory.
Yao Jin’s face turned pale as he listened to the soldiers of the third battalion report the situation, and then turned to look at Zhao De Yang.
Zhao De Yang shook his head with a bitter smile and said, “Commander, the situation outside is not optimistic. All of the attackers are ability users, and their number of ability users is almost greater than the number of ability users in our entire regiment. Moreover, they are acting according to a plan. Our response was hasty, and now only the First and Second Battalions can just about keep the enemy from advancing. Once we pull troops away, it is hard to say that those people won’t make it to our doorstep.”
Yao Jin gritted his teeth for a while before turning to dismiss the soldier in front of him.
“Hold on up front, and leave the factory search for now. Aren’t they just weapons?! Most of the weapons left behind in the factory have already been taken away today, and the rest can be given to those mice. But I can’t just leave them there for them to take the machines away!”
However, when Xiao Wen and the others left and Yao Jin checked the situation in the factory, he fainted on the spot in the face of all the empty workshops.
After receiving Yao Jin’s orders, the captain of the Third Battalion no longer allowed his soldiers to fight to the death to stop Wen Le and his group’s actions.
Normal confrontation continued, but as soon as the situation became too much, the soldiers immediately withdrew and no longer fought to the death.
This made Wen Le and Xiao Wen’s actions even smoother, and they went through more than a dozen workshops. Wen Le did not even miss the few remaining weapons in the warehouse where the finished products were stored.
Unfortunately, the database and design room were isolated from the workshops by heavy metal walls due to their different categories. No matter what methods they tried, they could not break through the walls into the other area.
“Alright, we’ve already made a good harvest this time.” Xiao Wen patted Wen Le’s shoulder and said to him, who had a look of unwillingness.
Wen Le tightly bit his lip and didn’t move. They didn’t know how to make weapons with just machines and materials, and without specific data, when would these machines be put to use?
“No, once we leave, we will never be able to get those data. Xiao Wen, you let them go first. We will meet up with Mo Yan outside. We’ve come this far, there’s no reason to give up the data that’s within our reach!” Wen Le shook his head and refused to leave.
Xiao Wen looked deeply at the rare stubborn face in front of him and sighed. “If you don’t go, these machines will be equivalent to not leaving here.”
Wen Le still shook his head.
Xiao Wen was helpless, and he didn’t want to knock Wen Le out directly, and Wen Le’s thoughts were not wrong.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Wen pulled Wen Le.
“Let’s go and implement the second plan outside.”
As they walked, they covered almost half of the space within the mountain, but they didn’t find any traces of the military factory’s gate along the way. That is to say, if they entered from the gate, it should be the area outside the metal wall.
After leaving the factory, Xiao Wen instructed the others to meet up with Mo Yan and his team while he and Wen Le headed towards the factory gate, looking for an opportunity to enter the arms factory.
The others followed Xiao Wen’s orders and quickly moved out, following the sounds of explosions to join the main force.
Xiao Wen and Wen Le ran towards the gate at the foot of the mountain at the fastest speed. As soon as they arrived at the main gate of the arms factory, before the guards could react, Xiao Wen immediately flashed past them and rushed inside during the brief moment when the gate opened to transport weapons out.
“Enemy in the base!” When the soldiers who were moving weapon boxes reacted, there was no sign of Xiao Wen and Wen Le. They immediately ran back and shouted.
Xiao Wen and Wen Le’s goal was simple, to find information about weapon manufacturing. At this critical moment of the battle between the two sides, the importance of the information was self-evident. Therefore, the two mainly searched for heavily guarded areas where they were sure to find what they were looking for.
However, when Xiao Wen passed by the first obvious heavily guarded area, Wen Le shook his head with certainty. His mental power swept through the area, and he felt a huge conference table inside, which clearly indicated that it was the command room.
When they reached the second heavily guarded room, the two of them did not hesitate and cooperated violently once again, forcefully breaking in.
There were several computers and an entire wall of shelves filled with documents in the room. Wen Le didn’t hesitate to use his powers to store the computers and shelves in his storage space.
After making sure that they didn’t leave anything behind, the two of them broke through the door and left. The locator had already shown Mo Yan’s signal, indicating that the firepower outside was beginning to wane. This time, Wen Le didn’t stubbornly insist on searching for useful items. He clung to Xiao Wen’s back, and the two of them dashed out the door and charged straight into the forest.
After receiving Xiao Wen’s signal, Mo Yan waved his hand and led his men to fight and retreat. By the time they retreated to the mountaintop, Xiao Wen and Wen Le were already waiting there.
“Let’s go! Return the way we came!” Without resting, Xiao Wen led the troops in a direct retreat.
At this point, Yao Jin didn’t know that the entire arsenal had been emptied, so when he received news of Xiao Wen’s retreat, he didn’t order pursuit.
Taking advantage of the time when there were no pursuers, the group quickly climbed over the mountain and, after reaching the flat ground, didn’t even have time to catch their breath before climbing into the car that Wen Le had brought and heading back the way they came. Along the way, they encountered several cars that had been left halfway to guard against unexpected situations. The caravan drove back to the village where Han Yi Feng was located.
After the main force left, the ten people who stayed behind took turns looking out from the highest point of the terraced fields in the direction that Xiao Wen and his team left. Finally, they saw them come back, and they were able to let go of the worry that had been hanging over their heads.
Although they were anxious to ask, when the people left behind saw how exhausted everyone looked, they suppressed the urge to speak and began to boil water and cook.
“Don’t bother. Let’s pack up and go back. Every car that comes by can take food, water, and gasoline.” Wen Le grabbed Han Yi Feng, who was about to start a fire.
“But…” Han Yi Feng looked at everyone’s tired faces and hesitated.
Xiao Wen waved his hand. “We need to leave now. We’ll go as far as we can before they catch up with us. Once they catch us, the base could be exposed.”
Xiao Wen’s words were very realistic, and everyone immediately went to Wen Le to collect their things and get ready to go.
It wasn’t until the convoy left the village that Yao Jin, who had been made dizzy by the empty arsenal, ordered his soldiers to pursue them. But when they faced the empty ground with no trace of the retreating troops, they couldn’t find the direction to pursue.
It wasn’t until this moment that Xiao Wen and Wen Le’s mission was finally successful.
Thanks for the chapter!
That was very close to being discovered 😨
Thanks for the update!! 🤗 🤗
