The Lijiang River is the longest river in China, spanning most of the country from northwest to southeast, with many tributaries.
When the Eastern Navy invaded China, its fleet entered the four northwest provinces from the estuary of the Li River.
After capturing the four northwest provinces, the First Fleet of the Eastern Navy stayed in the waters near Pearl City.
Not only that, the Eastern Navy also built a military base more than 100 kilometers away from Pearl City, which is now the Marine Warfare Command.
This military base occupies a very large area and is built on the edge of the Li River, together with the port.
The Eastern Navy has a total of more than 20,000 land troops stationed in this base and surrounding strongholds, plus more than 8,000 navy troops from the First Fleet, which is almost the strength of a division.
The First Fleet in the East China Sea has a total of 25 warships, including an aircraft carrier!
Such a powerful force guarding here naturally makes the Shenzhou Army very uneasy, so in addition to the 27th Army guarding Pearl City, there are also 13th Army and 15th Army stationed across the river.
Three armies totaling more than 100,000 people are guarding the Eastern Navy.
There are more than 20 strongholds of various sizes around the Marine Corps Command, guarding various traffic arteries and preventing people from easily approaching the headquarters.
However, these were not obstacles for Zhao Yan. He easily bypassed the peripheral checkpoints and approached the military base where the headquarters was located in the evening.
The entire military base is surrounded by walls more than five meters high, and there are observation towers every thirty meters with sentries standing on them.
This density is simply insane!
Not only that, each observation deck is equipped with several search lights, illuminating the entire area of nearly ten meters in front, ensuring that there is no blind spot.
Within the wall, there were groups of Donghai soldiers patrolling with military dogs.
The reason why there is such a tight defense is inseparable from the assassination of Hou Qi and the Hua Boxing Club.
The Eastern Navy no longer dares to underestimate the assassinations of the Chinese Boxers, so all important military bases are extremely heavily defended!
Zhao Yan crawled in the grass and looked at the high wall in front of him.
He can be sure that with such a peripheral defense, it is almost impossible for a great boxer in the Shuangjue realm to sneak in quietly. Only top masters like Lu Gu have the chance, and it may also be necessary to take advantage of the changing of the sentry on the observation tower. Only then do you have a chance.
But Zhao Yan does not need to wait for the changing of the guard.
When he approached this base, the bonus of [National Martial Arts Glory] had already taken effect.
After adding up to 30 points of Divine Court, his perception is incredibly sharp!
He could clearly hear the sound of ants moving clods of soil in the surrounding grass, the breathing and heartbeat of the sentry on the observation deck, the footsteps of patrolling soldiers inside the wall, and the breathing of military dogs.
He could even sense when the sentinel on the observation deck was blinking, and Zhao Yan could accurately grasp where the other person's eyes fell!
When the sentry on the observation deck moved his eyelids and blinked again, Zhao Yan moved.
He was like a dragon that could soar into the clouds and ride through the mist, almost clinging to the ground and darting out, leaving behind a blurry shadow.
brush--
Zhao Yan exerted force on his spine, exerted force on his hands and feet at the same time, and instantly passed through a distance of nearly ten meters using the dragon movement technique and came to the foot of the wall.
The time it takes for a person to blink is about 0.2 seconds to 0.4 seconds. After Zhao Yan reached Level 5 in Baguazhang, his divine power increased again. After receiving the bonus of [National Martial Arts Glory], he now exerts all his movement skills and leaps over 10 seconds. The distance of meters only takes 0.1 seconds!
So when the sentry closed his eyelids and hadn't raised his head yet, Zhao Yan had already arrived under the wall he was guarding. With both feet exerting force, his body jumped nearly four meters high!
When the sentry raised his eyelids, Zhao Yan had already stretched out his hand to grab the upper edge of the wall, and with a slight exertion, he swung his entire body into the wall.
So the sentry blinked, but saw nothing, only heard a gust of wind.
He didn't notice anything unusual at all and continued to stare forward motionlessly.
At this time, Zhao Yanren had not yet landed in the air, but a group of patrols with military dogs inside the wall were about to turn around and look this way.
When Zhao Yan's body fell, he kicked his feet on the wall behind him without making any sound. He had already used his strength to jump forward and landed behind a large truck.
When he landed, the patrolling soldiers in the distance just turned around.
From sprinting to jumping over the wall to landing, the whole process was very short. Zhao Yan accurately grasped all the details and successfully infiltrated the Marine Corps Command!
He is coated with medicated powder specially prepared for him by the Chinese Boxing Club to eliminate odors. In addition, he can close the pores on his body and prevent sweat and other odors from emitting. Therefore, even if there are military dogs patrolling, unless the distance is very close, they will not smell. He couldn't be found.
Zhao Yan sneaked all the way inside.
The Chinese Boxing Society also has very limited knowledge of this headquarters. They only have a rough terrain map and a guess about Hoshino Hideki’s location:
The other party is either in the office building of the combat command center or in the dormitory building where senior officers live.
Both buildings were in the center of the base, so Zhao Yan sneaked all the way there.
The defense in the base is also very tight. It can be said that there is one sentry every three steps and one post every five steps.
And Zhao Yan relied on his amazing body skills and keen perception to sneak in smoothly.
It is impossible to have lights everywhere in this base. Under the cover of darkness, Zhao Yan rushed from one shadow to another in an instant, sometimes even passing directly in front of these Donghai soldiers!
It really just took the blink of an eye, and the person was already gone without even seeing his shadow.
When he was in the mission world of "Red Army", he had a thought:
Darkness is the world of martial arts!
Now this idea has deepened even more.
"It's no wonder that Donghai Navy is so afraid of Hou Qi. It would be really terrifying for a martial artist who has reached the master level in boxing skills to only engage in assassination!"
Zhao Yan thought so.
He quickly sneaked into the central area and found the combat command center and the dormitory building for senior officers.
The two buildings are very close to each other.
Zhao Yan did not dive directly.
He was not sure which building Hoshino Hideki was in, nor where exactly the other party was. Even if he sneaked into the building, it would be difficult to find him.
This is also a major difficulty in assassination.
Taking advantage of the moment when a group of patrols turned around, Zhao Yan rushed forward and came to a building. He grabbed the drainage pipe of the building with both hands and climbed up quickly.
With strong explosive power, Zhao Yan followed the drainage pipe to the roof in just two or three strokes.
He was lying on the ground, looking at the two buildings more than 300 meters away.
In the building of the combat command center.
There were seven people with different temperaments sitting in a conference room.
"Do you think Hou Qi dares to come?"
A man wearing a white shirt, unbuttoned his chest, revealing his solid chest muscles suddenly spoke.
The man's name is Furuta Yoshihara, he is a master of the Donglong Society and a member of the beheading team that hunts down Hou Qi.
After Hou Qi assassinated the lieutenant general, Donglonghui set up a beheading team specifically for him, just to behead him!
This beheading team has been chasing Hou Qi with thousands of elite Donghai soldiers.
And if they dare to hunt down a master, the members of the beheading team are naturally top experts.
Furuta Yoshihara who was speaking at this time was a powerful celestial warrior who also practiced boxing and was only one step away from the realm of Shuangjue.
"Miss Baimu, can you sense Hou Qi's position?"
A man with a cyan pattern embroidered on half of his face turned to ask the only woman present.
This woman's name is Shiraki Nana, she is a celestial being. Her special ability is called "Chasing Souls", which allows her to track a person's breath from hundreds of kilometers away!
It is precisely because of this ability that this beheading team can lead people to hunt down Hou Qi.
Shiraki Nana kept her eyes closed and shook her head after hearing the question:
"The other party has been in that weird state since this morning, making it impossible for me to sense his location."
"Baodanhedao."
The young man with cyan patterns on his face sighed.
His name is Kiyota Masame, he is a peerless genius in the martial arts world of the East China Sea. He has entered the realm of three arts before he was thirty years old!
Not only that, he was also a powerful heavenly warrior, even stronger than Hiraga Xuanjiu whom Zhao Yan killed.
As the main force against Hou Qi, Qingda Zhengmeng understands the terror of the powerful alchemists better than the others.
After entering the alchemy realm in the realm of boxing, you can condense the whole body's energy and blood in the Dantian. This state is called "Bao Dan He Dao".
In this state, all the boxer's energy and spirit will converge to one point, and the whole person will become as if he does not exist.
To use an ancient Chinese proverb, it means 'out of the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements'!
So when Hou Qi was in this state, Shiraki Nana's 'Soul Chaser' couldn't sense his position.
However, 'Bao Dan He Dao' cannot last long. If it lasts too long, the body will gradually lose its vitality and become completely 'sitting down'.
"Since he has taken the initiative to block your tracking, he will definitely take action within two days. I think he may have sneaked into the base by now."
Kiyota Masamune said.
Hou Qi can maintain the 'Bao Dan He Dao' for about two days at most without using the elixir energy to explode.
This decapitation team had already figured this out in their previous pursuits.
That's why Kiyota Masamune judged that Hou Qi would definitely take action within two days.
"Hmph, as long as he dares to come this time, he will definitely die here!"
Furuta Yiyuan snorted coldly.
He seemed to have full confidence in killing Hou Qi.
Hearing his words, everyone in the conference room subconsciously looked to the right.
Just next to this conference room, there is a very empty room. There are no lights in the room and it is pitch dark.
A man knelt on a futon with a katana in front of his knees.
The man closed his eyes and breathed slowly.
His breathing was very long and contained a special rhythm, and as he breathed, the katana in front of his knees trembled slightly, as if in response to his breathing.
This knife seemed to be infused with soul by the man, like a living thing!
"Um?"
The man suddenly opened his eyes, and a light flashed in the darkness.
His gaze was like substance, as if it could whiten an empty room and illuminate the darkness.
And when he opened his eyes, there was a rocket a few hundred meters away with a red tail flame that flew towards the building, and then bombarded the wall of the building.
boom! ! !
The huge explosion sounded through the night, and the building in the command center shook violently.
Before everyone in the building could react, a second rocket followed.
On the roof of the building more than 300 meters away, Zhao Yan carried a 40-fire launcher on his shoulder, loaded the rocket very quickly, and then aimed another round at the command center in the distance.
As the saying goes, "Da Ze fire coverage", he never thought about sneaking into the building to slowly find the target, but directly bombed with rockets!
