Chapter 999, Finding the Door

The clouds outside the Sacred Mountain never dispersed, and the bird catching spiders that were hidden within the clouds were still entrenched.

When the two thousand or so people traveled to the cloudy area, these people didn’t stop their steps like ordinary people, but instead plunged headlong into the clouds and mist.

It was only surprising that their pace didn’t seem to be disturbed by the clouds and mist, and they actually continued to advance towards the hinterland of the Sacred Mountain without any obstacles.

This abandoned land hadn’t been visited for a long time, and the Birdcatcher Spiders began to converge towards this troop when they realized that they had prey.

However, when the bird catching spiders appeared, the soldiers did not panic at all. One of them took out a black box and played a strange sound, and the bird catching spiders immediately retreated when they heard the sound.

The soldiers didn’t seem to intend to kill the bird-trapping spiders, but to use them as a natural barrier to continue guarding the secrets of this place.

Not the secrets that belonged to the fire in the past, but new secrets.

This group of over two thousand people stepped in a neat pace, and when they entered the hinterland of the holy mountain, a silver tattoo lit up on one of the first people, “It’s really a suitable place, although the equipment is a bit old, a lot of things can be used locally.”

After saying that, the more than two thousand warriors behind him immediately entered the various buildings and began to retrieve the machines and equipment left behind by the fire.

According to his calculations, this holy mountain was now the most suitable place to set up a secret factory, although it still lacked the support of some technical equipment, but soon, after Wang had annexed the Fire Seed it should be able to make up for his last needs.

He turned around and looked around the now overgrown hinterland of this holy mountain, and suddenly felt that this place suited him, and everything seemed like a new beginning.

……

At this time, Zhou’s main force was still gathering towards Barrier 73.

Inside Barrier 73, in a certain office in the secret base of the Intelligence Organization, a middle-aged man with gold-framed glasses was looking at the documents in his hands, his brow furrowed, “Is there any news of Ren Xiaosu?”

“Reporting sir, he has already left L.A. City alone the morning before yesterday, and now his whereabouts are unknown.”

The Zhou Clan’s intelligence officer named Zhou Shou Shi was vaguely dissatisfied, “What are you guys doing, how can such an extremely dangerous character lose his whereabouts?”

In the luxurious office, a huge tiger head specimen hung on the wall, a tiger that Zhou Shou Shi had personally killed 17 years ago.

There was also an exquisite shotgun placed underneath the tiger’s head, and all those who entered this office as soon as they entered it would first see this scene and then feel the monstrous power of the owner of this office amongst the Zhou Clan.

Zhou Shou Shi in the Zhou Clan, together with Zhou Xilong, who had been killed by Ren Xiaosu, and Zhou Yifei, the current military supreme commander, were known as the three tigers of the Zhou Clan, and he himself quite liked this nickname.

The windows of the office were covered with thick curtains, and it seemed that these people did not like sunlight by nature.

The intelligence officer across from Zhou Shou Shi said, “The main force should arrive at Barrier 73 within two days, sir, we don’t have to worry so much, do we?”

“The problem lies in how to spend these two days,” Zhou Shou Shi put the document in his hand to one side, “How is it going over at Hope Media?”

“The informant over in L.A. has sent word that Hope Media is packing up, as if they are moving,” said the intelligence officer, “Hope Media has parked a fleet of cars outside, they should be leaving in the next few days.”

“Leaving?” Zhou Shou Shi froze for a moment, “Where is this going?”

“The rumor is that it’s going to the Northwest,” the intelligence officer said.

However, right at this moment, the roar of an explosion suddenly came from outside, Zhou Shou Shi stood up at once, “What’s going on?!”

After a while, an intelligence officer outside knocked on the door, “Sir, it’s bad, the gates of Barrier 73 have been blown open with explosives!”

“What?” Zhou Shou Shi was confused, “The city gates were blown up? What are the garrison forces doing?”

“They are chasing the person who blew up the city gate, it is rumored that the other party was already in the city, then suddenly and quickly approached the gate and threw down the explosives and ran away, now the criminal who blew up the gate is fleeing in the barriers but it seems like there is more than one person, someone is picking him up,” the intelligence officer explained.

“Quickly go, letting this kind of person lurking in the barriers is simply a disgrace to my intelligence department, organize the field to carry out a capture operation on him, make sure to catch these people before nightfall!” Zhou Shou Shi stormed out, after such a serious and vicious incident, I’m afraid that he wouldn’t be able to account for it on his boss Zhou Shiji’s side.

At one time, most of Zhou’s intelligence agency were attracted by the sound of the explosion, like locusts rushing out.

Zhou Shou Shi picked up his teacup and suddenly realized that the tea had gotten cold, he picked up the phone and informed the outside: “Change the tea.”

After saying that, he hung up the phone and started to read other documents, but for some reason, Zhou Shou Shi always felt a bit distracted.

They were already preventing Ren Xiaosu from retaliating against the Zhou Clan, and now that such a nasty incident had suddenly occurred in Barrier 73, it was bound to have something to do with Ren Xiaosu.

The door was opened with a creak, and Zhou Shou Shi frowned, “Why don t you knock ……”

Zhou Shou Shi was just about to lose his temper, but when he saw the teenager who had pushed the door open, his entire body froze completely.

He only saw Ren Xiaosu carrying a tea tray, but instead of a cup and steaming hot tea inside the tea tray, there was a pistol with blood on it.

Zhou Shou Shi forced himself to calm down, his hand slowly reached under the table and wanted to press the red button, as a result, Ren Xiaosu smirked and said, “Don’t press it, it’s useless, everyone in the whole building is dead, even the hounds that you have raised I haven’t spared, isn’t it a bit heartless.”

Chills rose in Zhou Shou Shi’s heart, he didn’t even hear any movement outside.

But he believed Ren Xiaosu just after he finished speaking, simply because the other party was Ren Xiaosu.

“What are you doing here?” Zhou Shou Shi asked as he fidgeted.

“I heard that you guys were looking for me, and even got the underground world’s intelligence dealers to put a bounty on me, and when I saw that the price was so high, I came to skulk around on my own to see if I could claim the money,” Ren Xiaosu took Zhou Shou Shi’s eyeglasses cloth off of the table, and began to wipe the blood-stained pistol on his plate.

Zhou Shou Shi said, “It wasn’t my idea to kill Jiang Xu.”

“You see, it’s much easier to chat like this, isn’t it,” Ren Xiaosu said calmly, “Who else could it be if not you, Luo Zongren’s immediate superior is you.”

“Although he’s half a level below me, he doesn’t report to me most of the time, and I know that what he’s doing is out of sight, so I’m purposely avoiding it for fear that in the future, that boss up there will get rid of me along with him in order to keep it a secret,” Zhou Shou Shi explained.

“Well, that’s a good reason,” Ren Xiaosu nodded, “That means the person who wanted to kill Jiang Xu and gave the direct order was that boss of Zhou’s, Zhou Shiji? But you’re still going to die even if you skimmed it clean.”
