Courtyard House: Why is my time-travel experience so shabby?

Chapter 1158 is so close!

Mount of Light, the most legendary holy mountain in Shat, is also the location of the Hira Cave.

This cave, originally just one of the thousands of caves in the Gobi Desert, was given a mythical color just because Muhammad, the founder of Islam, visited it once.

According to legend, this cave is the place where the Prophet received his first revelation from God through the Archangel Gabriel.

At the foot of the mountain, there are always a constant stream of devout believers coming to make pilgrimages.

Of course, Du Weiguo’s attitude towards these myths is firm disbelief and contempt.

Bullshit gods! If there really are gods in this world, they must be false gods, evil gods. Otherwise, how could this world be filled with so much darkness and evil, like purgatory?

Near noon, about 50 kilometers outside the city of Hurma, in front of a small hill.

Du Weiguo stood with his hands behind his back, the corners of his clothes rustling in the mountain breeze. He looked into the distant mountains with a deep and cold gaze, with a fierce gleam flashing across his eyes occasionally.

"Mr. Wesley, the 32nd Brigade of the Guards and the Independent Reconnaissance Battalion are already in place. Currently, the troops have surrounded the entire Lagrave Mountain and are conducting a carpet search in stages to the west."

La Grave is the name of the hill in front of us, the remnant of Mount Lumina, just a small hill with an altitude of several hundred meters.

The mountain is not high and the trees are sparse, but the terrain is extremely complex. There are countless caves hidden in the mountain, and they are connected to each other, like a natural maze.

That's why the mountain is called La Grave, which means labyrinth in Arabic.

At this moment, the foot of the mountain had become like a large military camp, with the whole place in chaos.

The 2nd Guards Division is the trump card that the Shat royal family spent a lot of money to develop. It has been stationed in the summer capital Taif for a long time. The 32nd Motorized Infantry Brigade under its command is the trump card among aces.

The reinforced brigade, with a total strength of over 9000 men, all of whom are motorised, has now arrived.

In addition to the division's independent reconnaissance battalion, as well as the police and militia reinforcements from Hurma, the total number of troops gathered at the eastern foot of Mount Lagrave has now exceeded 10,000.

As the old saying goes, once the number of people exceeds ten thousand, there is no limit.

Now, all the troops are deployed in an orderly manner with platoons as the basic unit, conducting a carpet search of Mount La Grave like mercury pouring out of the ground.

There were shouts of people, barking of dogs, flying dust, and roaring of motors. In an instant, the entire hilltop was surrounded by soldiers armed with live ammunition, and even birds could hardly get through.

This is the great power of mankind. Cutting down mountains and destroying temples is no less than this. The scene looks extremely shocking.

Although Du Weiguo always had a poker face and looked calm, he was actually not calm at all.

Once upon a time, he was just a lone desperado, but before he knew it, he had become a super giant who could mobilize thousands of troops with a single order.

I can only sigh silently that life is unpredictable.

  Seeing that Du Weiguo did not reply and seemed to be thinking about something, Faisal asked again in a slightly flattering tone:

"Sir, do you think it is necessary to add more troops? I have just contacted the headquarters. Turba has two regiments that can be transferred here. In addition, in the direction of Mecca~~"

Du Weiguo raised his hand to interrupt him, shook his head, and his voice sounded a little obscure and distant.

"No, that's enough. It's better to have fewer deaths."

"What?" Upon hearing this, Feisal's pupils suddenly trembled.

Du Weiguo glanced at him meaningfully, and his tone became somewhat teasing:

"Faisal, do you know who these wanted criminals we are tracking are? What do they have?"

In Leonard's hand, there is a high possibility that he is holding a 25-ton equivalent pineapple that could explode at any time.

This is top-secret information of the highest level. Currently, only three people in the entire Shate know about it.

The current king, Crown Prince Khaled, and the director of the General Intelligence Agency.

This is a huge crisis, enough to destroy the world. Once the news spreads, it will definitely cause panic among the entire nation, so confidentiality is necessary.

When Faisal heard the question raised by Du Weiguo, his eyes flickered uncontrollably.

  Don't be fooled by his untidy beard and seemingly rough appearance, he is actually not stupid at all. How can a reckless man be able to survive in a place like the Intelligence Bureau?

Faisal knew it clearly.

Even the God of Evil has taken action himself. A bounty has been offered across the entire country, causing chaos and making such a big fuss. The target of the pursuit must not be an unknown person.

Several terrifying possibilities instantly occurred to his mind, and his voice trembled:

"What, who, what do they have in their hands?"

Du Weiguo did not hide anything and told the truth:

“The main target we are tracking is Leonard, the director of the CIA’s Third Branch, who has a Hertz warhead in his hand.

It is in an activated state and can be detonated at any time. It has a power of 25 tons, enough to destroy half of Shat."

"What? A Hertz bomb! 25 tons of yield?"

  Feisal's pupils shrank instantly, his face turned pale as snow, and he asked tremblingly:

"Then, if we really find them in Mount Lagrave, in a hurry, will they~"

"meeting!"

Paris answered his question first, his tone firm and decisive.

Naturally, this down-and-out little policeman came along as well, temporarily serving as Du Weiguo's advisory officer.

This guy looks quite old, but he is actually only 33 years old. He was the top graduate of the Shat Guards Academy. Later he joined the General Staff. After that, he was exiled to Hurma and became a small policeman.

Before, he had been listening quietly, so he naturally heard the news about Big Pineapple.

However, this guy seemed to have a big heart, his expression was still very calm, and he looked as unshakable as a mountain, which made Du Weiguo couldn't help but look at him with higher regard.

“I think Mr. Wesley must have tried every possible means to drive them into Shate.

After all, our area is vast and sparsely populated, with large tracts of desert and uninhabited areas everywhere, so the losses can be minimized."

  Turning his head to look at Mount Lagrave not far away, and the soldiers searching the mountain like marching ants, his tone became somewhat playful:

"Well, Mount Lagrave is a pretty good place. Even if the bomb explodes, the most we'll lose is about 10,000 people.

It will hardly affect civilians and urban areas, and the losses can be kept to a minimum. It is the best option."

"But, but, we~" Faisal was completely petrified and couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

  Paris sneered again, and answered his question in a gloomy tone:

"Haha, no buts, dear Director Faisal, if this bomb really explodes, it will have an equivalent of 25 tons.

At such a close distance, we would be vaporized into dust in an instant by the high temperature and radiation, and there would be no pain at all."

Having said that, he suddenly changed the subject and glanced at Du Weiguo provocatively.

"However, even a great man like Mr. Wesley is here to share the risk. What can we, the little shrimps whose lives are worthless, complain about?"

"Hehehe~"

Hearing his sarcasm, Du Weiguo couldn't help laughing.

"Paris, my physique is strong enough and my speed is fast enough. Well, I think as long as I'm not at the center of the explosion, I will probably be able to withstand it."

"what?"

Paris, who was always calm, finally lost his composure. His eyes widened and he looked at Du Weiguo in astonishment.

"What does it mean to have a good enough physique, be fast enough, and have a high probability of being able to withstand it?"

"Oh, that's what it means literally~"

Du Weiguo chuckled, his tone teasing.

Infected by Du Weiguo's calm and composed mood, Faisal also regained his composure and looked at Paris with a silly look.

Paris was very perceptive and had a strong sense of self-esteem. He noticed the strange look in Feisal's eyes almost instantly, frowned, and asked unhappily:

"Hey, what's your look like?"

Feisal shook his head, his eyes full of pity:

"Paris, I admit that you are indeed smart and a rare genius, but your level is too low. You don't even know what Mr. Wesley is like."

"What kind of existence is it? Just tell me." Paris was irritated by his pitying look and he became anxious!

  Without Du Weiguo's nod, Faisal certainly didn't dare to reveal his true identity. Paris immediately turned to Du Weiguo and asked regardless:

"Who are you?"

  At this moment, there was no fear in his eyes, but full of curiosity. Du Weiguo lit a cigarette and slowly exhaled the smoke:

"Palas, I am a person with special abilities, that is, someone with special abilities."

Pallas was slightly stunned, and then immediately asked anxiously: "A person with special abilities? Special abilities? Then what are your abilities?"

Although Du Weiguo is surrounded by people with special abilities and it seems very normal, in fact, people with special abilities are an extremely scarce resource, and those who can transform them into combat power are even rarer.

There are only a few thousand people with special abilities in the world, a ratio of one in several million of the population.

In countries with relatively small populations, you can hardly find one in the whole country, and ordinary people may not even see one in their entire lifetime.

Although Paris has keen observation skills and is almost as smart as a demon, his level is too low after all, and his experience is also bumpy.

He could only work as a detective in a small town with a population of tens of thousands, living a muddle-headed life of eating and waiting to die all day long. Naturally, he had no way of knowing the secrets about the dark world and the people with special abilities.

"Paris, your question is seriously beyond the scope, do you understand?"

At this time, although Du Weiguo still had a smile on his face, his eyes had turned cold, like ice knives.

"Ok, ok, I understand. I won't ask this question anymore."

  Paris was not really fearless. Seeing that Du Weiguo was really angry, he quickly raised his hands in surrender:

"So, you can really withstand the He explosion?"

Du Weiguo nodded without comment: "As long as I don't sit directly on the explosion point, I think there is a high probability that I will not die."

"!!"

Upon hearing this, Paris became furious and cursed in the local dialect, then turned around and ran away without saying a word.

Seeing his actions, Du Weiguo and Faisal were stunned.

Du Weiguo found it both absurd and funny. After a brief moment of shock, Feisa felt vaguely envious. He also wanted to run away.

"boom!"

At this moment, a flare suddenly exploded in the air.

The sudden explosion frightened Paris so much that he staggered and sat on the ground. Faisal was also so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and his whole body became stiff.

However, Du Weiguo suddenly disappeared from the spot.

He did not teleport, but exerted force on his feet and ran towards the place where the flare exploded as fast as possible.

Now, Du Weiguo was able to leap dozens of meters in one leap with all his strength.

In the eyes of ordinary people, at such a speed, dynamic vision cannot keep up at all. They can only vaguely see a shadow, which is no different from teleportation.

The place where the flare exploded was about 1000 meters away from where Du Weiguo and his team had just stopped. It was a large cave hidden underground.

Du Weiguo drove at full speed, as fast as lightning, and he reached the destination, a distance of more than a thousand meters, in just half a minute.

Dozens or even hundreds of soldiers had gathered above the cave, and Du Weiguo was rushing towards them like a galloping horse.

"Get out of the way!" The man roared suddenly while in mid-air.

The next moment, the few unlucky guys who were blocking his path flew into the sky and were knocked away by Du Weiguo's tremendous force.

Fortunately, when the collision occurred, Du Weiguo deliberately slowed down his speed and used gentle force.

  Otherwise, with his current sturdy physical strength and terrifying speed, the bodies of these unlucky guys would have been shattered just by that collision!

Before everyone could react, Du Weiguo had disappeared from the spot. He jumped into the cave without hesitation.

The cave sloped downward, but the entrance and the passage were quite spacious. Du Weiguo slid down to the bottom of the cave at a very fast speed without stopping.

The space at the bottom of the cave is quite spacious, about the size of a basketball court, and the ground is relatively flat.

In a sheltered area near the corner, there was a burnt-out bonfire, with blood-stained bandages, gauze, and empty medicine bottles scattered around.

With just a quick glance, Du Weiguo quickly determined that the bonfire had been extinguished for about 8 to 10 hours, and a total of five people had stayed there at the time.

He took a few steps forward and looked around with a burning gaze. There were three passages around this cave, connecting to other caves.

At this moment, there are still a few soldiers in the cave, they should be the vanguards of the reconnaissance battalion.

Du Weiguo, this unfamiliar face that appeared out of nowhere, immediately made them feel like they were facing a powerful enemy. They subconsciously raised their weapons and shouted.

"!"

Du Weiguo ignored their questions and threats, and continued to concentrate on scanning the surrounding environment inch by inch.

There were footprints on all three paths. The depth and spacing of the footprints were basically the same. Even with his eyesight, he could not tell the order.

Obviously, Leonard and his team were familiar with and had deeply analyzed Du Weiguo's extraordinary vision, and deliberately used confusing means.

"Fuck! This is really hard to deal with~"

They are very close, the desperate Leonard and the Pineapple who is about to explode are both within reach!

However, the more time passed, the more anxious Du Weiguo became, and it was almost impossible for him to control himself.

At this moment, his scalp was slightly tingling and his heartbeat was accelerating, which was a sign of danger perception.

Obviously, the big pineapple was nearby, and Du Weiguo was also within its affected range.

The sense of urgency of defeating the powerful enemy and the fear of facing the Big Pineapple made Du Weiguo, who was used to big scenes, lose his composure.

Du Weiguo withdrew his gaze somewhat irritably and turned his eyes to the nervous scouts.

At this moment, their nerves were stretched to the limit, their fingers were white, and they were about to pull the trigger.

Du Weiguo asked coldly in English:

"Who's the leader?"

Sat was also colonized by the British Empire for nearly a hundred years, and the popularity of English is still quite high there.

"Who are you? Answer the question immediately!" The leader of these scouts was a bearded sergeant who spoke English.

Du Weiguo glanced at the walkie-talkie behind him and ordered in an irrefutable tone:

"Call the higher-ups immediately and send people and military dogs down right away!"

"Asshole, who the hell are you? If you don't answer me, I will be rude!"

The bearded man was also a hard-core stubborn guy. He pulled the bolt with a click and pointed the black muzzle of the gun at Du Weiguo's chest.

Looking at the Sterling submachine gun in his hand, Du Weiguo, whose patience was about to run out, his eyes suddenly became fierce and murderous intent arose.

"Put your gun down, asshole!"

At this moment, a powerful voice sounded from the passage above, followed by a middle-aged officer with the epaulettes of lieutenant colonel.

He is the commander of the Independent Reconnaissance Battalion, Atif.

Perhaps he ran too fast, for when he was near the bottom of the cave, Atif's foot twisted and he stumbled and nearly fell, grimacing in pain.

"Fuck! Are you fucking deaf? Put the gun down!"

But he no longer cared about the pain. He roared and limped over.

Atif didn't know Du Weiguo's identity, or even his name.

But just now, when the brigade commander was arranging the task, he was secretly glancing at Faisal the whole time, while Faisal was always looking at Du Weiguo's expression.

He was not stupid, and of course he knew that the young man in front of him with amazing skills and like a ghost was the one who really made the decision.

Although he didn't know who he was, he was a big shot that he couldn't afford to offend.

The bearded man and his men naturally did not dare to disobey the battalion commander's order, and put down their weapons awkwardly: "Battalion commander~"

Atif waved his hand impatiently to interrupt his explanation, and walked to Du Weiguo, holding his leg:

"Sir, I am Atif, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion. May I ask what instructions you have~~"

Du Weiguo said coldly: "My name is Wesley."
