Chapter 377: Chapter 246_2

The originally dead-silent atmosphere suddenly rippled like a stone thrown into a still pond.

A middle-aged man sitting beside the man appeared slightly anxious and blurted out:

"Professor, how’s the situation?"

The long-haired woman in a black tracksuit also turned her gaze towards him, her eyes shifting delicately.

The man nodded slightly, a faint smile playing at the corners of his lips, and replied softly:

"The plan is proceeding smoothly, everything is on track."

These succinct and powerful words seemed like a calming pill, prompting the two waiting companions to exhale deeply and ease their tense faces.

The two of them were indeed members of the professor’s team, disguised via the Disguise Technique.

The middle-aged man was Li Dingjian, and the long-haired woman was Lin Chuqiao.

As for the three engaged in Sitting Meditation, they were the Professor, Bai Ling, and Big Hammer.

It was they who had just contacted the various teams to organize a collaborative secret meeting.

The professor turned to the young woman who had followed him into the Secret Realm and inquired:

"Bai Ling, have you remembered the faces and voices of those people?"

"I have remembered."

Bai Ling replied crisply.

Then she furrowed her brows and added with a hint of annoyance:

"But there are two people I still can’t see through."

"No matter, their spiritual power is very strong, and they have used special means to hide their identities, even I cannot fully see through their true appearances."

The professor remained calm, gently reassuring:

"When encountering those two again, just avoid them. At this stage, our primary focus is not on them."

He then turned his gaze to Big Hammer, instructing gravely:

"Big Hammer, once the operation starts, stay outside the manor to block the pursuers, understood?"

Big Hammer became somewhat anxious upon hearing this, quickly defending:

"Professor, I’m sure those guys didn’t recognize me!"

He believed that during the meeting in the Secret Realm, his role as ’foilhorn’ was performed quite well.

The professor pressed his palm, signaling him to calm down, and patiently explained:

"There’s enough with me and Crow to enter the manor. Our primary mission isn’t to engage the guards and other teams head-on, it’s to skillfully guide them."

"Hence, the critical part lies in the outside setup. Your mission is crucial, not only delaying enemy actions but also ensuring Xiao Chu and Bai Ling’s safety."

Upon hearing this, Big Hammer was invigorated, patting his chest in assurance:

"Rest assured, Professor, I will complete the mission and not let Xiao Chu and Bai Ling get harmed. If those pursuers dare to target them, they’ll have to step over my dead body first!"

The professor smiled slightly, gesturing with his hand:

"No need to exaggerate, ensure you protect yourself as well."

After instructing, Li Dingjian raised his concern:

"Professor, is the binding power of the contract oath truly reliable? Could anyone risk the backlash of breaking the oath and forcibly take action?"

The professor squinted slightly, speaking with assurance:

"Rest assured, this is something mutants most avoid, as no one wants to suffer spiritual harm in such a dangerous situation that would impair their abilities."

"Those who pledged at the meeting are mostly team leaders, even if someone harbors ill intentions and wants to betray, they will endure until near the Golden Benba Bottle before acting."

After speaking, the professor looked at Lin Chuqiao, filled with trust:

"Xiao Chu, the operation outside is entirely in your hands. Be flexible and ensure unimpeded communication to synchronize actions inside and outside the manor, or all our efforts will be wasted with any delay or mistake."

Lin Chuqiao slightly raised her eyebrows, nodding:

"I understand, Professor."

Both she and the professor possess a very special ability—Mind Sensing.

With this ability, they can act as "base stations," linking other team members to establish a stable Spiritual Link.

This Spiritual Link is much more convenient than traditional radio communication, unaffected by electronic interference and terrain barriers.

Moreover, it can cover the surrounding area with its sensing range, observing others’ movements in real-time to provide intelligence support to the entire operation.

Once deployed on the battlefield, it can instantly relay enemy positions and combat commands, greatly enhancing operational efficiency and coordination.

This extraordinary ability is the crucial and robust guarantee for the successful implementation of the entire plan.

Time dragged on slowly with the movement of the clock hand, each passing second seemingly audible.

Everyone sat on the ground, surrounded by nothing but each other’s breath and the slowly flowing mist.

Lin Chuqiao gently closed her eyes, concentrating to maintain the Spiritual Link with the team members.

Occasionally, her forehead briefly furrowed, as if receiving some important information.

A little less than a kilometer away.

Another team was also gearing up, members either holding daggers that sparkled coldly or slowly cleaning their guns, their eyes focused and grim.

Fang Cheng, wearing a red Qiangmu Mask, had his gaze locked on the distant Lu Family Manor through the mist, his entire body tensed like a leopard ready to pounce.

At this moment, in the forest cloaked in darkness and mist.

Many silhouettes were hiding within, like lurking beasts with claws and fangs, waiting for the hunting horn to blow.

Tick.

Tick.

Tick.

"Time is almost up!"

The professor’s eyes flashed, glancing at his watch, and promptly sent a signal through the Spiritual Link:

"Monkey, are you ready?"

"Always prepared, Professor."

The voice quickly responded, immensely calm amidst its depth.

On a hill two kilometers away from the manor, a figure camouflaged with leaves and branches, dressed in camouflage fatigues, shifted slightly.

It was Monkey, responsible for sniping targets and observing enemy movements, who had already been in the sniping spot, lurking for numerous days and nights.

The professor quickly scanned the companions around him.

Eyes met, conveying trust and determination.

As if an invisible bond tied the entire team tightly together.

Finally, the professor looked at Li Dingjian, nodding slightly.

Li Dingjian understood, immediately pulled out a signal gun, and held it high.

Whoosh—

As the trigger was pulled, a sharp whooshing sound echoed instantly.

A red flare lit up, soaring through the mist into the night sky.

Like a firework dragging its long tail, it illuminated the entire dark forest for an instant.

According to the plan, the attack officially began!

"Let’s move!"

Fang Cheng, looking up at the flare soaring above the trees, urged quietly.

Black Wolf, Lord Bao, Xiao Bei, and Ah San nodded with solemn expressions, and the team members swiftly headed for the manor walls like ethereal phantoms.

Within moments, they passed through bushes and arrived under the high walls.

Thud thud thud thud—

A few bullets whistled into the soil behind them, kicking up some dust.

Meanwhile, fierce gunfire erupted not just here but in all directions.

Clearly, the other twelve teams, in line with the established plan, simultaneously launched the attack from four directions, cooperating tacitly.

At present, the wall before them stood over five meters high.

For Black Wolf, Lord Bao, and the others, this height was no issue at all.

As for the many alarm devices and cameras on the wall, they were in the midst of direct confrontation, so there was no concern.

The only worry was to avoid the sentry towers’ machine gun pinpoint firing and attacks from other patrol guards within the manor while climbing the wall.

Though clad in lightweight bulletproof vests under their coats, they had limited protection, only capable of withstanding close-range handguns.

However, a solution was already established.

The visually sharp Ah Er would take a sniper rifle to eliminate the biggest threat on the nearby towers from the concealment of the trees behind.

During the wait, Fang Cheng utilized his Eagle Eye Vision to lock onto the target and quickly reassess the situation.

He observed other teams carrying out their strategies in the surrounding area, breaching the manor’s first line of defense.

Some, like them, used sniper rifles or abilities to manipulate lightning, flames, or other capabilities to extricate quickly from enemy gunfire, climbing the high walls under relatively safer conditions.

Others employed Telekinesis shields or some sort of Berserk ability to endure the barrage of bullets, breaking past it to begin their assault.

Then, Fang Cheng noticed the figure of the man who had organized the secret meeting in the Secret Realm standing with another middle-aged man, seemingly preparing to unleash some special ability.
