Afternoon the next day.
Gao Tianhu received Yuan Jie's communication.
"Tianhu, it is indeed the same as the information you received. The people in the teahouse did set a trap for Zheng Ning and the others."
"Now we have set up an ambush. We can only take action when Zheng Ning and the others arrive."
Yuan Jie, who was hiding on a mountain peak, looked at the entrance of an underground city below with a telescope and said.
Gao Tianhu was arranging the defense deployment of Qiming City. After receiving a communication from Yuan Jie, he asked, "Have you found our people?"
"Our people have sneaked in, and all the hostages are indeed being held here."
"And it seems that the teahouse did not fortify the hostages. They just set up an ambush on the outside. They may have wanted to catch Zheng Ning and the others off guard."
When Yuan Jie arrived, he immediately sent people to find an opportunity to sneak into the place where the hostages were held, but found that except for dozens of people holding firearms, no one else was found inside.
Not to mention any large-scale weapons, not even a mecha was seen.
"It seems that their original intention is to kill us."
Just as Gao Tianhu had predicted, these hostages were the bait to lure the Tiger Legion.
Maybe the guy in the teahouse thought of the three men from the Tiger Legion going back to rescue them, so that the high-level combat power of Qiming City would be reduced, and their success rate in conquering Qiming City would be greatly improved.
It seems that Sun Xiao, the undercover agent, did not do a good job. He did not tell the other party about the specific strength of Qiming City, otherwise the group of people in the teahouse would not have left anyone to ambush Zheng Ning.
"Brother Yuan Jie, find out the specific forces of the enemy and see how many general-level combatants the opponent has sent to ambush. If there are less than three, then destroy the opponent on the spot."
"If the other party also sends three people, just take the hostages and evacuate safely."
After hearing Gao Tianhu's order, Yuan Jie nodded and replied, "I understand. We have sent out an investigation team to investigate."
"If the teahouse only sends two people this time, I will let them never come back." Yuan Jie also clearly remembered the debt between himself and the teahouse, and it was time to settle this debt.
After Yuan Jie hung up the communication, he looked at Zuo Wen and then quietly went down the mountain, waiting for nightfall.
Zheng Ning listened to Sun Xiao's constant chatter along the way. Finally, after a day's flight, he arrived at the place he mentioned.
"Brother Zheng Ning, please wait for me at this base. I will go and make a deal with them first. We will withdraw when the hostages are on board."
Hearing Sun Xiao's words, Zheng Ning nodded, and then the Tiger Base slowly landed.
The warehouse door of the base slowly opened, and Sun Xiao, wearing a camouflage military uniform, slowly walked down from the Tiger base.
As soon as Sun Xiao came to the base, he saw that the person coming from the teahouse was his old friend.
"I didn't expect that it would be an old boy like you waiting for me here." Sun Xiao said with a smile after turning off his communication device.
"Do you know me?" Pang Tu asked, looking at Sun Xiao in front of him with a puzzled expression.
The other party is from the Tiger Mecha Legion, and I have never met the other party. How could the other party know my name?
….
"Of course I know you. I also know that you joined the teahouse because you killed your father-in-law, right?"
Sun Xiao asked with a smile on his lips.
"who are you?"
"How come you know so much about me?" After saying this, Pontu put his right hand on his waist, ready to take out a weapon to destroy the opponent at any time.
"Don't be nervous. You told me this in person. Have you forgotten?"
"Big ears?" Sun Xiao said and made a grabbing gesture with his hand in the air.
"Are you Du Fei?" Pontu asked in surprise.
I did tell my friend Du Fei about this, but Du Fei doesn't look like this.
Pontu suddenly thought of something and exclaimed: "Is your boy joining that experiment?"
Sun Xiao smiled and nodded: "Yes, not only did I join the experiment, but I was also one of the first to succeed."
"So now I have two identities."
Du Fei, who borrowed Sun Xiao's body, said proudly.
"You're lucky, kid. I heard that many people died in the experiment." Pang Tu patted Sun Xiao and said.
"Take me in first to see the hostages, otherwise they will become suspicious."
After Sun Xiao finished speaking, he winked at Pang Tu and said.
Pang Tu understood immediately, and he also saw the Tiger Base not far away, but after today, this Tiger Base belongs to our teahouse.
"You kid, don't forget me."
"When this Tiger Base is so small, you have to let me enjoy it." Pontu and Du Fei turned out to be just ordinary employees of the teahouse. How had they ever mentioned this not-so-powerful thing.
"Don't worry, I'm almost tired of playing. When I win, I'll let you be the commander of the Tiger Base."
After saying that, the two people laughed and walked into the underground city where the hostages were held.
However, just after the two entered the underground city, the guard at the door was touched on the neck.
Two men wearing teahouse clothes arrived in front of the Tiger base after killing two other guards.
The two of them gestured to Zheng Ning in the Tigers base.
Zheng Ning, who saw the gesture, immediately understood that this was the person sent by Yuan Jie.
"Good guy, Lao Yuan is so fast!"
After Zheng Ning finished speaking, he happily led the people off the base.
"Captain Zheng, I am Li Yi, the commander of the reconnaissance team sent by Captain Yuan." Li Yi saluted Zheng Ning.
"Thank you for your hard work. How is the situation inside?" Zheng Ning asked after returning the greeting.
"We have checked all the hostages inside. Although everyone is in a miserable situation, there are no large casualties."
"Except for a few elderly people who died of long-term hunger, the rest are still able to move." Li Yi briefly reported the situation of the hostages.
In addition to exploring the enemy's defense, their team was here to check the number of hostages.
According to the list provided by everyone in the Tiger Legion and the list provided by Sun Xiao, the captured hostages are now planned to be detained here.
"Very well, follow us into the house and rescue everyone."
"No. 5, take the remaining people and prepare defense measures and food in the base."
"Make sure everyone can survive the next battle."
….
Hu Mingwei No. 5, who had been following Zheng Ning, acted quickly after receiving the order.
Although there was a powerful defense device provided by Gao Tianhu, Zheng Ning still refused to let him go and asked No. 5 to strengthen the peripheral defense.
"Everyone else, follow me into the city."
Zheng Ning took the lead towards the underground city, and one hundred of my Huming Guards also quickly put on their combat uniforms and walked towards the underground city.
At this time, Sun Xiao didn't know that he had been discovered a long time ago and was bragging and drinking with Pang Tu in the underground city.
"You kid, you are really like a blind cat meeting a dead mouse."
"This kind of good thing has happened to you."
Pang Tu was filled with envy when he heard Du Fei say that he would soon be in a high position.
And Du Fei also drank heavily. During this period of time in Qiming City, he was always on guard. He finally reached his limit and had to relax.
"By the way, if you don't send the hostages out quickly, doesn't it have anything to do with me drinking here?" Pontu asked, looking at Du Fei who was drinking.
The order he received was to hand over these hostages to the Tiger Legion, and then issue the model when the other party received the hostages.
But now Du Fei won't be able to send a signal unless he takes the hostages out.
"Why are you in such a hurry? I finally arrived at our territory. Can't you let me have a drink first?" Sun Xiao rolled his eyes at Pang Tu and said.
"Hey, how could you
So what do you mean, brother? "
"Come on, drink, don't I care about you?" Pontu apologized quickly when he realized that he had said the wrong thing.
Du Fei's future status is not something that he can compare with, but it's only a delay of ten minutes, so it should be fine.
"Isn't this ridiculous? Come on, we two brothers are having a drink." Although Sun Xiao didn't like the wine Pang Tu prepared, it was better than nothing.
Just then, screams came from the entrance.
"what's the situation?"
"It's not like those people from the Tiger Legion can't wait to rush in!"
Pontu exclaimed after hearing a scream, and quickly got up to go out and take a look.
"Look at how anxious you are. I'm here. I'm their deputy commander now. They won't dare to come in unless I give an order."
Du Fei still looked like he didn't care. He asked Zheng Ning and the others to wait inside the Tiger base so that no one would come down. After all, he said that if they broke in and the hostages were killed, none of them could afford it. responsibility.
After hearing Du Fei's words, Pang Tu also calmed down. As he said, Du Fei was not in a hurry. He didn't know what level to recruit, but he still asked his men to go out and take a look.
After seeing Pontu's wink, a teahouse employee hurriedly trotted towards the entrance.
"You, you, are just too careful. Come on, have a drink, how about we start sending the hostages out!"
When Du Fei saw someone going out, he teased Pontu, then picked up the wine glass in front of him.
"Isn't it better to be careful? You also know the tempers of the leaders."
"If you don't do it well, you will be dragged out to feed the fish!" Pang Tu said with a smile. He didn't know why, but he just felt uneasy.
"Okay, okay."
….
"Come with me and release all the hostages. When this mission is over, we brothers will have a good drink." After Du Fei finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the hostages below.
"Thank you for your understanding, Brother Du." Pang Tu also drank the wine in the glass in front of him in one gulp.
Just when the two were about to release the hostages, they found an acquaintance appearing in front of them.
"Old Zheng, why are you here?" Du Fei exclaimed the moment he saw Zheng Ning.
"Of course I'm here to see how our deputy commander Sun rescues the hostages." Zheng Ning asked with a playful expression.
"I...I've already reached an agreement here and am now preparing to release the hostages." Du Fei coughed twice and pretended to be calm.
When Pontu saw something was wrong, he immediately wanted to distance himself from Du Fei, but just as he was about to step back, he found that his shoulders were being held down.
"Brother from the teahouse, if you want to survive, please open the door to the cell."
Tiger Mingwei No. 6 appeared behind Pontu and said.
"Okay, okay, no problem, I will listen to you." Pontu nodded immediately and agreed.
He was going to open the cell door.
As the cell door was opened, Zheng Ning also appeared in front of the hostages.
Looking at the people living in a smelly environment, Zheng Ning's eyes instantly became moist.
Their husbands, sons or fathers, daughters or mothers all fought bravely in the Tiger Army just so that their families could live in a peaceful environment.
But these bastards in the teahouse treated these people like this.
"Everyone has suffered. I'm sorry, I'm late!" Zheng Ning said with a deep bow.
After hearing Zheng Ning's voice, everyone's eyes turned towards Zheng Ning. When they saw Zheng Ning wearing the Tiger uniform, everyone instantly burst into tears.
They finally came to save themselves.
"No. 6, you take everyone to evacuate."
"Yes!" Liu Hou handed Fat Tiger to someone to guard him while he walked into the cell and carried some older men on his back and left.
Other tigers
Wei also quickly entered the cell for rescue, regardless of whether the cell was dirty or not, and whether there was dirt on the hostage's body, without any hesitation or disgust.
The hostages present cried quietly after seeing it, and everyone cooperated with Hu Mingwei's rescue work.
"Deputy Commander Sun, that's wrong."
"Should I call you Du Fei, would it be more appropriate?" Zheng Ning gritted his teeth and looked at Du Fei and Pang Tu and said.
"Du Fei?"
"Who is Du Fei, Lao Zheng? At this time, please stop joking with me." Du Fei laughed awkwardly. Has he been discovered?
"Although I don't quite understand how you controlled the body of Deputy Captain Sun Xiao, there is someone who can let you know whether you are Sun Xiao or not."
Just when the hostages were being evacuated, Zheng Ning saw Sun Xiao's daughter-in-law, but she just glanced at Sun Xiao and then changed her gaze and did not come over.
Moreover, looking at the other party's appearance, he also blocked his child's sight, preventing the child from seeing Sun Xiao.
"What are you talking about? Of course I am Sun Xiao." Du Fei still refused to let go, refusing to admit that he was not Sun Xiao.
….
"Then why don't you know her?" Zheng Ning pointed to a woman behind him and said.
Du Fei looked at the woman behind Zheng Ning. She was all dirty. He didn't know her at all. Could it be someone Sun Xiao knew before his death?
But why didn't he see the memory of this woman when he took over the other party's body?
"Of course I know that. How could I not know the family members of our Tiger Legion?" Du Fei said with a forced smile, but his palms began to sweat.
"Old Zheng, can you leave him a complete body?"
"Although he is not my husband, he used my husband's body. I want to collect the body for Lao Sun."
The woman in tattered clothes stood behind Zheng Ning and whispered.
"I understand, Sister-in-law Ruyu."
Hearing the woman's words, Du Fei was completely panicked. This woman turned out to be Sun Xiao's wife?
How could such a thing be possible? I had browsed Sun Xiao's memories during the experiment. Sun Xiao probably didn't have a wife.
"How is this possible? This woman must be lying to you, Lao Zheng, don't believe her."
"I'm not married, and I don't have a wife." Du Fei said as he backed away.
"That's because Lao Sun forcibly tampered with his memory before he died."
Huang Ruyu said out loud that a month ago, when she was caught, she had met Sun Xiao once.
Sun Xiao left himself a hard drive containing information, telling him to hand it over to Zheng Ning or Yuan Jie no matter what.
But I'm stuck here and can't leave at all.
Later, when he saw Sun Xiao, he found that he had completely changed his appearance and could not recognize him at all.
At that time, Huang Ruyu also understood what Sun Xiao meant by what he said.
The organization that captured him and Sun Xiao was conducting an evil experiment that could replace one person with another.
Sun Xiao also told himself that as long as the person being experimented built a required memory point in his brain before dying, the person occupying the body would have no way of knowing the specific things.
So Huang Ruyu guessed that Sun Xiao built a needed memory for himself before dying.
But thanks to this false memory, I and my son are able to live to this day.
After hearing Huang Ruyu's explanation, Du Fei sat down on the ground. It turned out that what he saw at that time was all fake.
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect it. I didn't expect it."
"I have to say that this Sun Xiao is indeed a talent. He could think of using this method to confuse me."
After Du Fei finished speaking, he hit the wall next to him and fell straight down.
Zheng Ning looked at Sun Xiao lying on the ground and said
"Sister-in-law Ruyu, you'd better go out and see Aping first. I'll take care of Brother Sun's body."
"Thank you, Lao Zheng!" After Huang Ruyu said this, he was taken out by Hu Mingwei.
Zheng Ning walked to the side of Sun Xiao's body and hugged Sun Xiao's neck with both hands.
"Click" sound.
Sun Xiao's neck was broken.
"Your tricks of fake death are too low-level." After Zheng Ning said that, he handed the body to Hu Mingwei behind him and took him out.
….
Wait until all the hostages are taken away.
Zheng Ning walked up to Pang Tu.
At this time, Pang Tu knelt on the ground tremblingly and begged for mercy: "Brother, I have released him, please spare my life."
"Then your life is not impossible."
"But you have to tell me, have you ever hurt them." Zheng Ning looked at Pontu and asked.
"No, no, absolutely not." Pontu immediately shook his head and said.
"I'm just a little janitor, and I haven't hurt them at all."
Seeing Pang Tu's look, Zheng Ning suddenly smiled. The people in the teahouse were actually just like that. When he first joined Qiming City, he was still very afraid of the teahouse.
"Captain Zheng, we have just checked. All the people in the teahouse here have been cleared, and only this person is left."
A Hu Mingwei came over to report, but he looked at Pang Tu with a somewhat unkind look.
"What's wrong?" Zheng Ning, who discovered the problem, asked, does this Hu Mingwei know the people in this teahouse?
"Captain Zheng, this guy insulted a hostage. Although he has been rescued,..." Hu Mingwei did not continue.
Although the girl is not dead yet, she has lost all motivation to live, and now she is only using sedatives to stabilize the situation.
"Did you just tell me that you never harmed those hostages?" Zheng Ning walked towards Pang Tu with eyes full of anger.
"Wait a minute, listen to my explanation!"
Pang Tu still wanted to quibble, so he was picked up by Zheng Ning, and then he only heard Pang Tu's screams.
Three minutes later, Zheng Ning wiped his hands and walked out.
Then he took the rest of the people back to the Tiger base.
At this time, the teahouse and others who were ambushing outside were still waiting for Pontu's signal.
"What's going on? That boy Pangtu can't even handle disappearing like this!"
Because the line of sight was completely blocked by the Tigers base, people outside had no idea what was going on.
"Send someone to take a look." A warrior-level master in charge of the ambush said.
"Yes, an ambush operation actually requires the two of us to act together."
"Mills, do you think the higher-ups are too careful?"
A man with yellow hair asked as he kneaded a woman.
"I think we are worried too much. An ordinary warrior level can be solved by two of us and one of us. Now we are left here waiting for the signal."
"If you ask me, just let the two of us cut down the other side." Another man wearing a black suit said tirelessly.
In the eyes of the two of them, the other so-called warrior masters were no match for them and others one on one.
"The boss has a bad brain and asked two of us to ambush a warrior-level person."
"When you take action later, don't take action, let me do it." The yellow-haired man threw the woman he had changed his species out and said.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Oakes."
"What I didn't expect was that they actually came to the door themselves."
After Mills finished speaking, he looked not far away and saw Yuan Jie and Zuo Wen walking towards this side with weapons in hand.
"I have to admire these two people. They dare to come to us and cause trouble without piloting a mecha."
Oakes snorted coldly, then took his weapon and walked towards Yuan Jie and Zuo Wen.
"Hurry up and deal with it. I don't want to stay in this crappy place for a moment. The air is so bad."
Mills, who was holding the knife, said impatiently, without any intention of helping Oakes.
"Give me five minutes. In five minutes, my two idiots will come back with their heads."
Oaks waved his hand and took out his weapons, two short blades.
"I am General Digo-Oakes from the teahouse."
"Now I'll give you two a chance to declare your identity, so you don't die without knowing who killed you."
Oaks walked up to Yuan Jie and said arrogantly, without taking them seriously at all.
"Leave this to me, you go deal with the other one!" After Zuo Wen said that, she rushed towards Oakes with a scimitar in her hand.
"Woman, you don't have to be so anxious if you want to die." Oaks also rushed towards Zuo Wen quickly, and the two were about to explode.
Yuan Jie also grabbed the gap where Zuo Wen and Oakes were fighting together and rushed towards Mills behind.
Today, these two people are going to die here.
"Seeking death!" Mills saw Yuan Jie charging towards him, yelled and drew out his long knife.
