Chapter 732: Chapter 343: Honor Swept Away

New Shadow Base was connected to the power supply, and the two illumination lamps on the left and right of the small square were activated. However, the overall brightness at the base was not strong, thanks to the bright street lights in the core area of Leimeng Town. Unlike the dim street lights in the villa and apartment areas, the lights in the central area were bright enough for someone with presbyopia to read a newspaper. After all, this place used to be a commercial street, with an even busier food street next to it.

Lin Sha got out of the car and walked into the base, noticing a stark contrast between the inside and outside. The lighting inside the base was like daylight, but all the street shop lights were turned off. Lin Wu asked, "Are the street shop lights broken?"

Maya responded through the earpiece, "The light is too strong, making us easy targets for snipers. When in the base, please be careful and avoid reckless movement in the small square. Before going to the small square, call for Shadow through the earpiece, and ask Sentry Card to check the condition of the highway bridge again."

Lin Wu said, "We’ve brought back a truckload of garbage."

Maya instructed, "Take it to the back door."

The back door was very close to the river embankment, just wide enough for a vehicle to pass through. Su Shi came along to help, carrying a full load of supplies to the corridor.

At this moment, Sentry Card Stone sent an alert, "An airplane is landing."

Maya immediately arranged, "Stone, maintain position A, Shana move to B, and I’ll move to C."

Stone asked, "Where are B and C?"

Maya replied, "You don’t need to know."

"..." Do you know who the boss is? Do you know who HR is? Even though I don’t need to know, you can’t just say I don’t need to know, understand? Ah? Speak up, why don’t you speak up?

Maya continued giving orders through the earpiece, "Lin Wu, take position at the highway bridge."

The Sentry Card on the highway bridge was about 30 meters from the bridge head, where there was an open area. A left turn would take you up the right road, a right turn up the left road, and straight on to the crossroads. The edge of New Shadow Base’s security zone was another 20 meters from the bridge head, and anyone reaching the bridge head could clearly see the base’s security zone.

According to Maya’s prediction, once past the Sentry Card, the person would crouch down, hugging the highway bridge railing to conceal themselves, and continue all the way to the bridge head.

For the affluent agents of Fortress, they could choose to buy a car. For the poorer agents, like the one from the daytime, they could only choose a bicycle, or of course walking. The straight-line distance from the airport drop-off to the bridge head was 10 kilometers, with the highway bridge itself being 3 kilometers long.

Laimeng River wasn’t that wide, just over 100 meters. The reason for the 3-kilometer-long highway bridge was that it not only spanned the Laimeng River but also a rugged gorge. The airport and Leimeng Town were on two different plots of land, connected by the highway bridge. In other words, to get to the airport from land, one had to cross the highway bridge.

The highway bridge was built to military standards. Lin Wu leaned against a pillar of the bridge, felt its material, and gave up the idea he once had of blowing up the bridge.

The airport area was brightly lit, and Maya reported from position C, "The target is on foot."

"That’s a tough one," Lin Wu commented, "Should I go back for a late-night snack first?" It’s going to take at least half an hour to cover 10 kilometers.

"Hold your position," Maya ordered. "Su Shi, turn off the lights."

"Understood."

Lin Wu remarked, "The weather’s nice today."

Maya ordered, "Maintain silence."

Bring it on, let’s have a one-on-one battle!

Ten minutes later, Maya said, "After running for a while, the target has started walking."

Lin Wu seized the opportunity, "Maintain silence."

Maya explained, "I’m reporting information, talking could give away your position."

No fun, she’s being too clear. How can I argue now? Lin Wu summoned Little White Rabbit, "I want to make a complaint."

Little White Rabbit inquired, "What would you like to complain about, sir?"

Lin Wu thought for a moment, "The moon is too bright, it doesn’t match the real moonlight."

Little White Rabbit affirmed, "I am certain it matches."

Lin Wu insisted, "It does not."

"It does."

After another ten minutes, Lin Wu gestured, "Goodbye."

"Goodbye, have a nice time."

Lin Wu concluded he had come off worse, his own ’it does not’ was three words, while the response of ’it does’ was only two words.

Time passed, and Maya said, "The target has reached the highway bridge, the railings are high, and the visibility is severely obstructed. B position, please watch Sentry Card closely."

Shana confirmed, "Understood at B."

Maya instructed, "Lin Wu, your ambush is meant to scavenge equipment three times."

Lin Wu acknowledged, "Understood."

Time passed again, and Shana reported, "The target has appeared at Sentry Card, not hiding, just standing and walking around... The target is ten meters from the bridge head, now five, now three. The target seems to have discovered the base’s security zone, took out binoculars to look. The target squatted down, but the shadow was not hidden. Lin Wu, prepare."

Lin Wu vaulted over the railing and landed behind the target. Instead of drawing a knife, he put away his dagger and raised his right palm to hit the back of the target’s head. As the target turned around, hand covering the back of the head, and saw Lin Wu, the eyes widened in shock. Lin Wu put a finger to his lips, "Don’t scream."

The target immediately covered the mouth with a nod.

This puzzled Shana, "What’s happening?"

"Lin Meng."

Maya directed, "Bring her over."

Lin Wu pulled Lin Meng by the shoulder of her clothes towards the base. Lin Meng, on the verge of tears, felt overwhelmed by encountering the Great Devil while on a mission. What to do? Just go along, what else could be done? The more she resisted, the more excited he might become.

In a weak voice, Lin Meng asked, "Is Maya there?"

"She’s here, I’ll take you to her."

Lin Meng immediately relaxed. Lin Wu stopped and turned to look at Lin Meng and asked, "Did you miss me?"
