Spy war in the Republic of China, peak undercover

Chapter 737: Obviously Professionally Trained

Lu Yang stood in front of the window in the backyard of the photo studio. The morning light shone through the thin mist and onto the floor, reflecting the cold and hard outline of the "Qinglong" sniper rifle in his hand.

He exhaled a puff of smoke, his gaze like a knife sweeping across the silent streets outside the window, yet his heart remained unruffled. "Night Owl" was destroyed, the "Burning Sky" plan reduced to ashes, but a vague sense of unease still lingered in his chest, like an invisible hand, strangling his throat.

"Boss, there's been no movement in the city these days. Even the wind is eerily still." Old Wei walked in, holding a piece of rag picked up from outside the city with dried blood on it, and his tone was full of doubt.

Lu Yang snorted coldly and stubbed out his cigarette. "Jing? That means the enemy has a new face."

He took the rag, looked through it for a moment, and smelled a faint smell of medicine. His brows furrowed slightly. "This isn't blood, it's medicinal juice. Who would get this outside the city?"

He stood up and said to Lao Wei, "Gather the men and prepare to leave the city. I want to see what's hidden behind this smell of medicine."

Old Wei nodded, turned and left. Liu Ruyan then walked in with a message from the guards at the city gate.

"Lu Yang, the guards said that someone brought in a batch of medicinal herbs from outside the city last night, claiming that they could cure illnesses, but their behavior was suspicious." She spoke in a steady tone, with a sharp glint in her eyes.

Lu Yang said coldly: "Medicinal herbs? Go check it yourself."

He changed into the clothes of a drug dealer, wearing a tattered robe with the "Qinglong" hidden inside. He took Liu Ruyan and several elite soldiers and headed straight for the drug store outside the city.

The pharmacy was hidden in a narrow alley outside the city, with the wooden door half-open. When the wind blew, a pungent smell of medicine came with it.

Lu Yang pushed the door open and walked in. The room was dim. A thin old man was pounding medicine. He looked up and glanced at him with a cold look in his eyes.

"Boss, I heard that the medicinal materials business is good recently?" Lu Yang whispered, throwing out a bag of copper coins.

The old man took the money and sneered. "Not bad. Someone wants a large quantity. It will be delivered in three days."

Lu Yang narrowed his eyes, his tone calm but murderous. "Where are you sending it?"

The old man hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Old Lin from the north of the city, I won't ask for details."

Lu Yang snorted coldly, suddenly pulled out the "Qinglong" and pressed it against his forehead. "If you don't explain clearly, you won't live to ask."

The old man shuddered and said in a trembling voice, "It's the people from 'Poison Bee'. They want to make poison and use it in three days!"

Lu Yang put away his gun and said coldly, "Okay, Poison Bee, I'll remember this."

He turned and left the pharmacy, returned to the photo studio and called everyone together.

"Old Wei, go to the old forest in the north of the city in three days and intercept the 'poisonous bee'." He said in a deep voice.

Old Wei accepted the order. Liu Ruyan said, "Lu Yang, I've found out that 'Poison Bee' is a drug-making gang, possibly hired by an external enemy."

Lu Yang nodded. "Okay, making poison, right? I'll let them poison themselves."

Ye Wanru walked in, holding a letter from an ally. "Lu Yang, the ally said there's a strange smell coming from the old forest north of the city, like it's poisonous."

Lu Yang sneered. "Okay, I'll go smell it."

Three days later, in the old forest in the north of the city.

The night was as dark as ink, the forest was thick with fog, and there was a faint fishy smell.

Lu Yang led the team into the forest, his eyes like an eagle, scanning the shadows of the trees.

In the distance, on an open space, several masked men surrounded several large pots, from which rose green smoke that was extremely pungent.

Lu Yang set up the "Blue Dragon", locked the crosshairs on the leader, and whispered, "Old Wei, block the retreat."

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, blood spurted from the masked man's brow, and he fell beside the pot.

There was chaos in the forest, and the masked men fled in all directions. Lu Yang fired several shots in succession, and the backbone of the enemy fell one after another.

Lao Wei led people to block the road, the grenade exploded, and the green smoke was swallowed by the flames.

Lu Yang approached a pot and checked the remaining liquid. The toxicity was strong enough to paralyze the entire city.

He sneered, ignited the explosives, and blew the open space into scorched earth.

"Boom!" The explosion shook the forest. Lu Yang stood in the distance, lit a cigarette, and whispered, "Poison Bee, I'll burn this poison first."

The team retreated to the photo studio and he gathered everyone.

"Old Wei, the main force of the 'Venomous Bee' has been destroyed, but their employer has not yet shown up." He said in a deep voice.

Liu Ruyan said, "I've found out that there's been a convoy of vehicles on the mountain roads outside the city lately. They might be delivering poisonous ingredients."

Lu Yang narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly. "Okay, mountain path, I'll go intercept it."

He changed into coachman's clothes and headed straight for the mountain road outside the city.

The mountain road was rugged, and a team of carriages were slowly approaching, leaving deep marks under their wheels.

Lu Yang sneaked to the top of the slope and shot the coachman with a shot, causing the carriage to lose control and overturn.

The convoy was in chaos, and he jumped down the slope, killing several people with a dagger.

He pried open a car, and inside were boxes of poisonous weeds and a secret letter.

The secret letter read: "The poisonous bee failed, the 'blood scorpion' took over, the target is the city well."

He sneered, put the secret letter in his arms, and blew up the convoy.

"Boom!" Flames shot up into the sky. Lu Yang stood on the slope and whispered, "Blood Scorpion? Wait for me."

Back at the photo studio, he gathered everyone together.

"Old Wei, the city is dangerous. Take people to protect the water and take action in three days." He said in a deep voice.

Liu Ruyan said, "Lu Yang, Blood Scorpion might be the superior of Poison Bee, and is good at assassination."

Lu Yang nodded. "Okay, assassination, right? I'll counterattack."

Three days later, beside the city well.

The night was deep, and the sound of water gurgling could be heard by the well. Lu Yang was hiding in the treetops, his eyes fixed on his surroundings.

A team of dark shadows sneaked in, armed with poison darts, silently.

Lu Yang shot one black shadow after another, and the black shadow fell down, and the poison darts fell to the ground.

He jumped down from the tree, and the enemy leader rushed towards him with a dagger. Lu Yang stabbed him in the chest with one knife.

After the battle, he stood by the well and whispered, "Blood Scorpion, I win this round."

Back at the photo studio, Qinglan walked in with worry in her eyes. "Lu Yang, is there something wrong outside the city again?"

Lu Yang pulled her over and said calmly, "It's okay, it's solved."

Qinglan whispered, "I'm afraid you can't hold on."

Lu Yang patted her shoulder and whispered, "Don't worry, I'm here."

After seeing Qinglan off, Ye Wanru received a message. "Lu Yang, a secret order was found outside the city. Blood Scorpion has a backup plan."

Lu Yang took the secret order, which read: "If the city well fails, 'Bone Gnawing' will be activated."

He narrowed his eyes and sneered. "Bone chewing? Fine, I'll wait."

He gathered everyone together to analyze "Bone Gnawing".

Liu Ruyan said, "It might be an act of panic targeting the people in the city."

Lu Yang nodded. "Old Wei, take your men and guard the streets. I'll go investigate."

He ran straight to the dark alleys in the city and found a group of dark shadows spreading poison powder.

Lu Yang shot them one by one, clearing them out, and the poison powder was blown away by the wind.

He stood at the entrance of the alley and whispered, "Bone Biter is also useless."

Back at the photo studio, he lit a cigarette and exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Boss, there has been no noise in the city these days, but I always feel that something is breathing in the dark." Lao Wei walked in, holding a piece of stone picked up from outside the city, with vague symbols engraved on it, and his tone was full of uneasiness.

Lu Yang snorted coldly and stubbed out his cigarette. "Breathing? Then dig it out and let's see."

He took the stone and examined it for a moment. The symbol resembled some ancient totem, eerie and mysterious. "This isn't something local. Who's doing this outside the city?"

He stood up and said to Lao Wei, "Gather the men and prepare to leave the city. I want to find out where this stone came from."

Old Wei nodded, turned and left. Liu Ruyan then walked in with an urgent message from outside the city in her hand.

"Lu Yang, someone said that there was a low growl in the wilderness outside the city last night, like the voice of a wild beast and a human." She spoke in a steady tone, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Lu Yang said coldly: "Growl? Go and listen to it yourself."

He changed into hunter's clothes, wearing a coarse linen cloak with the "Green Dragon" hidden inside, and took Liu Ruyan and several elite soldiers with him, heading straight for the barren hills outside the city.

The grass and trees on the barren hills were withered and yellow, the wind was blowing fiercely, and a low roar mixed with the collision of metal could be heard faintly.

Lu Yang sneaked behind a rock wall and set up the "Qinglong". A depression was reflected in the sight - several masked men surrounded an iron cage. There seemed to be a living creature struggling in the cage, and there were strange bone tools piled next to it.

He narrowed his eyes and whispered, "Ruyan, take your men around to the side of the depression. I'll clear the way."

Liu Ruyan moved quietly and Lu Yang pulled the trigger.

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and a masked man fell beside the iron cage with blood spurting from his brow.

The depression was in chaos in an instant, and the other masked men drew their bone knives and fled in all directions.

Lu Yang jumped out of the rock wall, short knife in hand, and stabbed several people in a row, staining the dry grass with blood.

Liu Ruyan led his men to attack from the side, waving torches and smashing bone tools.

Lu Yang approached the iron cage, and inside was a giant wolf tied up with chains, with red light in its eyes.

He sneered, cut the chains, and the giant wolf roared and pounced on the remaining enemies, tearing several of them to pieces in an instant.

He picked up a piece of animal skin with the words "Wolf Soul Group, Chaos City Operation, four days limit."

"Wolf Soul Group?" Lu Yang whispered to himself, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

He waved his hand to light a fire, burning the depression to scorched earth, and turned to evacuate.

"Boom!" Flames engulfed the wasteland. Lu Yang stood in the distance, lit a cigarette, and whispered, "Wolf Soul, I'll put down this chaos first."

The team retreated to the photo studio, where he threw the hide on the table and called everyone together.

"Old Wei, this 'Wolf Soul Group' is a new trouble. Check their background." He said in a deep voice.

Old Wei nodded. "Boss, I'll take the men to the wilderness to explore again and see if there's any backup plan."

Liu Ruyan said, "I've received news that someone in the city's beast market has been buying wolf skins at high prices recently. It might be related to the Wolf Soul Group."

Lu Yang narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly. "Okay, Beast Market, I'll go check it out."

He changed into a dealer's outfit, held the "Blue Dragon" and hid it under his cloak, and headed straight for the animal market in the city.

The animal market was filled with the pungent smell of fish and the constant shouting of vendors. Lu Yang walked into a fur shop. The shopkeeper was a man with a face full of flesh and a cunning look in his eyes.

"Boss, I heard that wolf skins are in great demand recently?" Lu Yang whispered, throwing out a bag of copper coins.

The man took the money and grinned. "Someone wants a large shipment. Pick it up in three days."

Lu Yang narrowed his eyes, his tone calm but murderous. "Who wants it?"

The man lowered his voice. "I heard it's someone from Wolf Spirit, and he wants to be sacrificed."

Lu Yang snorted coldly, suddenly pulled out the "Qinglong" and pressed it against his forehead. "Where is the pickup?"

The man shuddered and said in a trembling voice, "In the deserted house south of the city, three nights from now!"

Lu Yang put away his gun and said coldly: "If you dare to play tricks on me, you will die."

He turned and left the Beast Market, returned to the photo studio, and called everyone together.

"Old Wei, go to the deserted house in the south of the city in three days and intercept the actions of the 'Wolf Soul Group'." He said in a deep voice.

Old Wei accepted the order, and Liu Ruyan said, "Lu Yang, I found out that the Wolf Soul Group might be beastmasters from outside the domain, employed by an unknown force."

Lu Yang nodded. "Okay, Beastmaster, right? I'll let them reap what they sowed."

Ye Wanru walked in, holding a letter from an ally. "Lu Yang, there's movement in the Desolate Ridge. It might be the Wolf Soul's lair."

Lu Yang sneered. "Okay, I'll go and do it."

Three days later, in a deserted house in the south of the city.

The night was as dark as ink, the house was dilapidated, and the wind was howling.

Lu Yang led the team to sneak into the house, his eyes like an eagle, scanning the courtyard.

Several masked men walked in, leading a giant wolf, holding bone flutes and blowing low sounds.

Lu Yang set up the "Blue Dragon", locked the crosshairs on the leader, and whispered, "Old Wei, seal the courtyard gate."

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, blood burst out from the masked man's brow, and the giant wolf roared and pounced on him.

Lu Yang dodged sideways and stabbed the wolf's belly with a short knife, and blood splattered all over the ground.

The masked man waved his flute to drive away the wolves. Lu Yang killed several people in a row, and the giant wolf fell to the ground howling.

Old Wei led his men to seal the door, threw out torches, and the courtyard was engulfed in flames.

Lu Yang found a bone tablet with the words: "If the operation fails, the 'Beast Tide' will be activated."

He sneered, put the dominoes in his arms, and whispered, "Beast tide? I'll wait."

The team retreated to the photo studio, and Ye Wanru sent a message. "Lu Yang, the Huangling nest has been discovered, hidden in a rock forest."

Lu Yang narrowed his eyes and sneered. "Okay, go meet them."

He led the team straight to the stone forest. The entrance was gloomy and several masked men were guarding the wolf pack.

Lu Yang swung his sword and charged forward. The wolves roared and pounced on him. He killed one wolf after another with his sword, and the stone ground was stained with blood.

Deep in the lair, the enemy leader was giving orders by playing the flute. Lu Yang kicked his sternum and broke it, and the flute sound stopped abruptly.

He set fire to the nest and turned to evacuate.

"Boom!" The stone forest was engulfed in flames. Lu Yang stood in the distance and whispered, "The nest is gone."

Back at the photo studio, he gathered everyone together.

“Old Wei, the main force of the Wolf Soul Group has been destroyed, but the person behind the scenes has not yet revealed his face.” He said in a deep voice.

Liu Ruyan said, "I found out that there have been beast roars in the canyon outside the city recently. It might be related to the behind-the-scenes."

Lu Yang narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly. "Okay, I'll go explore the canyon."

He changed into mountain folk clothes and headed straight for the canyon outside the city.

The canyon was deep and filled with the roars of beasts. Lu Yang climbed up the cliff and found a group of men in black taming beasts.

He sneaked to the edge of the cliff, killed the sentry with a sword, and approached the man in black.

He grabbed one of them and whispered, "Who sent you?"

The man in black trembled and said, "It's the 'Beast King', he's going to start a beast tide!"

Lu Yang sneered, raised his knife, and found a secret letter.

The secret letter read: "Wolf Soul failed, 'Beast King' takes over, target is the outskirts of the city."

He burned the animal pen, blew up the cliff, and turned to evacuate.

"Boom!" Firelight illuminated the sky. Lu Yang stood at the entrance of the gorge and whispered, "Beast King, I'll stop this tide first."

Back at the photo studio, he gathered everyone together.

"Old Wei, there are dangers outside the city. Bring your men to defend and take action in three days." He said in a deep voice.

Liu Ruyan said, "Lu Yang, the 'Beast King' might be the leader of the Wolf Soul Group, controlling the wild beasts."

Lu Yang nodded. "Okay, it's a wild beast, right? I'll tame it."

Three days later, in the wilderness outside the city.

The night was dark, and Lu Yang stood on a high hill, overlooking the wilderness.

A group of wild beasts rushed over roaring, followed by their riders in black.

Lu Yang swung his sword to kill the beasts in the front row, and the smell of blood filled the air.

He rushed into the herd of beasts. The enemy leader whipped the beasts to drive them away, and Lu Yang stabbed his heart with a knife.

After the battle, he stood in the wilderness and whispered, "Beast King, I win this round."

Back at the photo studio, Qinglan walked in with a worried look in her eyes. "Lu Yang, are there strange noises outside the city again?"

Lu Yang pulled her over and whispered, "It's okay, it's all cleared."

Qinglan held his hand and whispered, "Be careful."

Lu Yang nodded, a soft light flashing in his eyes. "Don't worry, I know what to do."

After seeing Qinglan off, Ye Wanru received a message. "Lu Yang, a letter was found outside the city. The Beast King has a backup plan."

Lu Yang took the letter, which read: "If the suburbs are unsuccessful, 'Earth Devouring' will be activated."

He narrowed his eyes and sneered. "Earth Devourer? Come on."

He gathered everyone together to analyze the "Earth Devouring".

Liu Ruyan said, "It might be the destruction of the earth veins outside the city."

Lu Yang nodded. "Old Wei, take the men to guard the earth veins. I'll go check it out."
