143: Mysterious girl

This was a long-established shop that sold roujiamo and lamb soup noodles. It was seven or eight in the morning, and the customers coming for breakfast were coming in an endless stream.

Li Xiao signaled for everyone to listen closely to the surrounding conversations; there might be some useful information to be had.

To be honest, he wasn't quite used to the roujiamo, but the taste of the lamb soup noodles was superb. Li Xiao slurped down a large bowl of noodles and still felt like he wanted more.

But an hour of lingering didn't yield much useful information. Just as Li Xiao was thinking about asking the shop owner about the villa area, Zhou Shuang suddenly walked over and whispered, "Boss, Tian Yu sent over a marked map. It has circled the entire villa area of Miyun Town."

"Oh?" Li Xiao was delighted. Now that they were sharing intelligence with the Tianyu Defense Force, everything was indeed much more convenient.

That guy Chang Zhan had also hit the jackpot; he had transformed into the battalion commander of a regular reconnaissance battalion, with over five hundred soldiers under him who were all reconnaissance specialists, and the highest-tier equipment they were equipped with included a transport helicopter.

"Brothers, let's split up, disguise ourselves, and infiltrate these villa areas to scout. We'll meet back at this shop after noon!"

Due to the vast area, moving as a group was inefficient and made them a large target. Dispersing to infiltrate in disguise would greatly increase efficiency and also reduce the risk of being discovered by the Imperial Soldiers.

Come to think of it, being rich has its perks. In the villa area Li Xiao entered, apart from patrol forces on the perimeter, there were no soldiers to be seen inside, at least not on the surface.

The villa courtyards here were truly more luxuriously decorated and larger in area than the next.

Looking at the various luxury cars parked in the courtyards, Li Xiao sighed endlessly. Once upon a time, when he watched TV on Blue Star, he also envied the mansion life of those people in movies and TV shows.

But now, these villas and luxury cars couldn't spark his interest in the slightest.

Li Xiao wore sunglasses and a baseball cap, dressed in a decent casual suit, trying his best to disguise himself as a promising young man taking a walk in the villa area.

On those crisscrossing tree-lined paths, people could be seen passing by from time to time, whether it was fashionably dressed women or busy housekeepers and nannies, and occasionally a luxury car would drive past him.

Li Xiao walked all the way, not finding anything unusual. In fact, under normal circumstances, any place where there was visible guard surveillance was highly likely to be the target.

But it was easier said than done. Li Xiao had walked through six or seven villa clusters in a row, his whole body drenched in sweat, but he hadn't found a single trace.

Approaching noon, just as Li Xiao was planning to return to the meeting point, he heard Chen Hu say in his earpiece, "Boss! Found it!"

"Really! Where?!"

Li Xiao was overjoyed and hurriedly rushed to the location given by Chen Hu.

It was a detached villa worth over a million Star Coins. From far away, one could see the patrolling Imperial Soldiers and stationary sentries outside.

Inside the villa courtyard, there were some more guards. It was estimated that the total force added up to about thirty people, and for the time being, no one was found carrying heavy weapons.

"Boss! What do you say, should we act now?"

"What's the rush? The target hasn't even been confirmed yet!"

Chen Hu was very impatient, so Li Xiao said in a deep voice, "Observe from the periphery first. Determine the guards' routine and whether Dr. Ma's wife and daughter are inside."

"Yes!"

Everyone returned to the breakfast shop for lunch, then began to take turns monitoring the villa. Finally, after more than ten hours of surveillance, Ling Chao and the others saw Mavis's wife and children appear.

"Everyone, rest for a while. We'll start the operation in the early morning!"

Li Xiao distributed the crystal-energy guns and ink crystal bullets to everyone, then said to Zhou Shuang, "Notify Zhao Feipeng's side; they can evacuate immediately."

"Okay, Boss."

In the darkness, Li Xiao looked at the villa area in the distance, which was still brightly lit, and felt some doubts in his heart.

Logically, since Mavis had been rescued, as the only condition threatening Mavis, these two mother and daughter should have been immediately relocated or had their security strengthened.

At the very least, it shouldn't be just these thirty people guarding here. The Black Hawk Empire shouldn't be so arrogant as to think no one could find this place, right?

When the time reached five in the morning, Li Xiao gave the order. The Shadow Special Forces launched an attack on the villa. Precise marksmanship combined with ultra-high damage allowed them to instantly take out the perimeter patrol soldiers without sustaining any injuries.

Hearing the gunshots, the soldiers in the villa complex rushed out and collided head-on with Ling Chao and the others.

Both sides' first reaction was to open fire at each other, but the guards were taken out by two or three consecutive shots from the Destroyers, whose firing rate far exceeded ordinary firearms, just as they pulled the triggers.

This could be said to be the easiest battle the Shadow Special Forces had ever fought; all thirty Imperial Soldiers were killed within three minutes.

Seeing the villa's living room door tightly closed, Li Xiao signaled Ling Chao to go up and open it.

But just as Ling Chao was about to reach out and push the door, with a bang, the door suddenly exploded. Ling Chao was sent flying back several meters in an instant, directly losing ten thousand HP.

"What the f*ck! What's going on?!"

Li Xiao was stunned. What kind of thing dealt ten thousand damage in one hit?

Everyone looked over and discovered it was a young girl wearing a tight-fitting suit, with a ponytail, and two long swords strapped to her back.

At this moment, the girl was still maintaining a high-kick pose, the tight-fitting suit displaying her slender and slim figure for all to see.

However, the girl's eyebrows were now furrowed.

"A bit interesting, you actually didn't die from that kick just now!"

Ling Chao climbed up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, retreated a few steps slowly, and whispered to the others, "This chick is not a pushover!"

Li Xiao, of course, knew the opponent was not a pushover. How could someone who could kick out ten thousand damage be an ordinary person?

Taking advantage of the fact that the opponent hadn't made a move yet, Li Xiao stepped forward and said, "Little girl, bullets have no eyes. I advise you—you're a talent, don't get involved in this muddy water."

"You're welcome to try!"

Li Xiao had thought the girl would retreat in the face of difficulty, but he didn't expect her to dare to provoke them actively, which really made it hard for Li Xiao to understand.

"Arrogant girl!"

After Chen Hu finished speaking, he immediately raised his gun and fired. Six or seven bullets flew out instantly. However, what they saw was not the scene of the girl bleeding on the spot and dying, but only heard a "swish" accompanied by a few crisp clanging sounds.

"What the f*ck!"

"What's going on!"

Just as everyone reacted, they saw that the girl had already drawn the long swords from her back at some unknown time, holding them horizontally in front of her chest, and right at her feet were several bullet casings.

"Holy sh*t..." Li Xiao was stunned. Is this Deadpool reincarnated?

"Shoot together!"

Seeing that he couldn't beat someone with a sword while holding a gun, Chen Hu called his comrades to open fire together.

Seeing the girl was so abnormal, Ling Chao didn't care about a few grown men bullying a little girl anymore, and directly raised his gun and fired. Six Destroyers fired hundreds of bullets from every angle of a 180-degree frontal arc.

But the sword net danced by the dual swords the girl drew actually blocked all the bullets.

Click, click, click...

Everyone's forty-round magazines were all emptied, and they were all stunned on the spot. This was simply too unbelievable.
