Chapter 75 - 75: The Eight-Person Superpowered Reconnaissance Team (Seeking recommendations, rewards, comments, and collections)
“Report, the radar is broken!”
“Code 25688, please elaborate on your problem!”
“Uh, my radar, it stopped working when tracking a target to a forest…” After a night’s rest, Code 25688 set off again to track the giant tiger.
However, for some unknown reason, it was as if the giant tiger knew that it was being watched from tens of thousands of meters in the sky. As soon as the fighter appeared, it started running frantically.
The J-22 fighter tracked it for a distance before the giant tiger rushed into a black forest. The radar lost all functionality.
“Switch to the laser radar and try again!”
“Uh, I’ve switched all the radar modes, none of them work!”
“Code 25688, please wait a moment, I am calling the ground engineers for support…”
After a while, the voice of the tower sounded again. This time it was a middle-aged man, “Code 25688, please turn off the radar alarm system…” “The radar alarm system has been turned off!” “Code 25688, please turn on the fire control radar and switch to the KU band…”
“Fire control radar KU band has been switched…”
“Beep- beep beep-
Three seconds later, a long and two short warnings sounded suddenly in the fighter.
The ground engineer said: “The radar is not broken; the electromagnetic wave is transmitting normally. This is the warning when the electromagnetic wave is not received normally. The location you targeted has a radar-isolating barrier that is changing the radar echo direction…or the electromagnetic wave emitted by the fighter is being absorbed by something….”
Soon, after consulting, the ground command issued another order: “Code 25688, please determine the size of the radar-isolating barrier area…”
“Received!”
At the northern end of the camp, near the entrance of the forest, a group of people in military uniforms gathered.
There were eight people in total, seven of them in the uniform of a Major, and only one, in the uniform of a Lieutenant Colonel.
‘My name is Chu Zixuan. I am a rank one at the Orange level. My ability is mental power scanning. I can sense everything within a ten-kilometer radius using my mental power…”
“My name is Yu Xiaofei, rank one at Orange level. My ability is Wood Control, I can control trees within a distance of one hundred meters…”
“My name is Xuan Qiao, rank one at the Orange level. My ability is to track smell, hide scent…”
“My name is…”
Chu Zixuan realized that the five people introducing themselves behind him, just like him, were all auxiliary superpowers, which gave him a bit of a clue about the nature of this mission.
At this point, the seventh person began to introduce himself.
“My name is Liu Yang, rank one at Orange level. My ability is to create a soundproof barrier…”
“Barrier?”
Hearing that someone could create a barrier, everyone’s eyes turned toward him.
Influenced by movies and animations, people are not unfamiliar with the term “barrier,” so they are curious about what kind he has and what it looks like.
Liu Yang saw this and didn’t hold back. He quickly put his hands together and slightly closed his eyes, focusing his energy. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and spread his hands out.
“Open!”
After shouting softly, a transparent light circle spread from his body towards the surrounding area, quickly forming a ten-meter diameter transparent light circle
“This is the largest soundproof barrier I can create, which can prevent our voices from being heard outside…”
“Pretty good!”
After the seven of them had introduced themselves, the man with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel nodded and said, “My name is Jingyuan, the captain of this operation. Many of you may have never heard of Jingyuan…”
He paused and continued, “However, you should have heard of my other title… I am the Shadow King!!
As soon as his words fell, the initially calm group of people boiled over with excitement.
“The Shadow King?!
“One of the eight kings?! !”
“My God, it’s the Shadow King!”
However, some people had not heard of this name.
Liu Yang was left confused and puzzled, “The Shadow King is…?”
At that moment, someone excitedly explained, “The Shadow King is the king of the night who can penetrate any shadow…”
“That’s right, any insect that the Shadow King’s shadow passes through is as good as dead…”
It was clear that these people had heard much of the legend of the Shadow King, as they spoke confidently, their faces full of admiration.
Only Chu Zixuan didn’t show much emotion. After witnessing the strength of Du Gang, these so-called kings didn’t seem that impressive to him anymore.
He had heard of the term “Eight Kings” long ago.
They were the earliest batch of powerful people in the Nanyuan Military District. The white-haired baboon was known as the Diamond King and was one of them. He didn’t expect to meet another one now.
Jingyuan was satisfied with their reaction. With a slight smile, he said lightly, “I am rank seven at the Orange level, I won’t discuss my abilities, you all understand… This time, I am your captain, I hope you will cooperate with me, so we can complete the mission successfully!”
“Yes, sir!”
Rank seven Orange level!
Chu Zixuan sighed inwardly. Despite his best efforts to absorb crystals, he was still not as strong as these early birds.
Jingyuan nodded and said seriously, “Alright, now I’ll briefly explain our mission!”
“Our mission this time is to walk the thirty kilometers to a forest…”
“You may have noticed that most of you have auxiliary abilities, so there won’t be too much danger during this mission…”
“Once you’ve escorted me to our destination, I will carry on alone to complete the rest of the mission!”
Jingyuan didn’t tell everyone the specifics of their mission because these people were newly recruited and were cooperating with the military for the first time. He was worried that they would spread the news and cause panic among ordinary people.
“Alright!” “No problem!” “Understood .
“Quiet!”
The chattering voices of everyone were abruptly cut off by Jingyuan. He sternly said, “I hope you all can respond with uniform answers in the future. All you need to say in response to anything I say is ‘Received’!”
“Did you understand?” “Okay … Received!” “Received! ”
Hearing these messy, uncoordinated voices, Jingyuan shook his head.
At this moment, there was no time to train these people on standard responses, it could only be done gradually over time.
Soon, the group of eight quickly set off and headed into the northern forest.
Only when they truly ventured into it did they understand how tall the Earth’s vegetation could grow once it was let loose.
Once they entered the forest, every tree they encountered was massive. The shorter ones were forty to fifty meters tall, while the taller ones were several hundred meters, with tree trunks and leaves blocking out the sunlight and shrouding the entire forest in darkness.
On the ground of this forest, all kinds of insects were lying quietly, sleeping soundly.
“Everyone, be careful not to kill any bugs or take any crystals. Our main goal is to complete the mission…”
Jingyuan, leading the way, reminded everyone.
The people present, who were the first to be developed into the Orange level, naturally had some courage. Despite the dense bugs, no one panicked too much.
Although they were marching, the eight Orange-ranked strongmen didn’t move slowly. Even though seven of them had awakened auxiliary abilities, their physical fitness had been greatly strengthened. All of them moved swiftly, leaping several meters with each jump, looking at ease. “Move a little faster, we have to reach our destination within two hours!”
