"Du... Dururu... Durururu..."
"Hello?" Yue Qiang answered the call. It was from Zhang Qin Feng. But to be safe, Yue Qiang did not address the caller when it was connected to be safe.
"Big brother, it's me," Zhang Qin Feng's gentle voice came from the other side.
"Xiao Feng? Are you safe?"
"No, wait. Where are you now? If you're still far, don't come over to Fenglu Street, but go home. We'll try to meet you there," Yue Qiang checked if Zhang Qin Feng is safe before he asked him for anything else.
"I'm outside. The havoc outside has been controlled, so you no longer need to be worried," Zhang Qin Feng's reply went straight to the point.
"What?" although the situation outside is indeed quiet down, that doesn't mean it's over. Yue Qiang is still worried about his worker's safety. What Zhang Qin Feng just said totally dumbfounded him.
"There's no longer threat outside. You're safe to come out. I'm standing by the door now." Zhang Qin Feng repeat the sentence again.
"He's really standing outside of the shop!" Luo Qing opened the CCTV monitor to check. It is indeed Zhang Qin Feng standing outside.
The crowd of twenty people then left the shop orderly. Nobody is in a rush or pushing one another because the scene outside the shop is too gore for them. Even Yue Qiang can't hold on and has to swallow the vomit in his mouth back.
"What happened here?" Luo Qing asked. She's afraid because her man, although yet to sleep together, is carrying a rifle and a katana.
Zhang Qin Feng slightly avoided her question. It would bring nothing good right now, even if Luo Qing is calm enough to listen.
He turned his sight to Yue Qiang, who's smart enough to understand Zhang Qin Feng's signal. Yue Qiang immediately approached his workers and convinced them to return home today. He followed up with whispering beside Luo Qing...
"Don't ask too much for now. We'll explain everything to you later." Yue Qiang's serious expression told Luo Qing to give up about asking for truth right now.
After the workers left, Yue Qiang requests if Zhang Qin Feng could do him a favor and get in touch with Yue Han. Zhang Qin Feng smiled, and after a few taps on the Luna III Device, he grabbed Yue Qiang's shoulder.
The action surprised Yue Qiang when the dial tone rang on his ears. After a few ringtones, Yue Han answered the call, and the brothers started to talk to each other without feeling bothered with Zhang Qin Feng here listening.
"Alright, let's meet up at the building beside Central City Mall," they both agreed on a place to meet, where it was bought by them using their mother's name. That's also why the Templars attacked Fenglu Street instead of that building.
But none of them know that this decision is going to be a life-changing event to all of them.
Yue Qiang, taking the lead, drives his car with Zhang Qin Feng and Luo Qing sitting on the back. It somehow looks like Yue Qiang is a driver working for Zhang Qin Feng.
But he's not bothered by that. In front of an individual like Zhang Qin Feng, who's capable of executing the terrorist without an injury is something he's incapable of doing.
Luo Qing falls asleep quickly, with Zhang Qin Feng talking to Stein though the Mother-Key. A remotely controlled drone is currently traveling over to the city with some battle supplies that will be useful to Zhang Qin Feng.
Two Great-Wasp, with a length of 2.5 meters and a width of 1.6 meters, is carrying over 10kg worth of supplies through air delivery. This kind of resupply is only capable in a fictional story, due to their limited technology.
"Xiao Feng?" Yue Qiang called, but Zhang Qin Feng remained in a daze...
"Asleep?" he's puzzled, but did not continue to press about this matter.
...
...
...
"Sir,"
"Vice-Captain Han signal is gone..." another guy with electronic devices all over his body rushes into the room. Standing before his captain, this geek is panting as he tried to catch up to his breath.
"What happened?" the captain no longer controlled his anger.
First, their attack on Wu Family is at a stalemate, with their exit route is compromised next. And right now, Han Song Lin vanishes from their contact, which also means that he's dead.
It puzzled Xiang Beiming.
A month ago, a representative came to their church with a generous reward. The request is to eliminate a part of the forces ruling the city of Changzhou.
Wu Family, who's responsible for the development of Southern District, and a mafia gang called Brilliant Tiger Gate Gang.
But most importantly, is because the representative gave them another promise, which is to establish their Templar Church unhindered within Changzhou.
That's why the Templar Church sent Xiang Beiming, one of their 25 Blue Robe Envoys, to deal with this matter.
Their operation is a simple five phases plan. The first and second phase begins with crippling the core communication tower on the south district and causes traffic disturbance.
Currently, they're in the third phase. The command will take hold of hostages inside the Central City Mall, with an attack on Fenglu Street and Wu Family consecutively.
In their fourth phase, the mall will be detonated using a large amount of C4 Explosives, shifting the attention on rescuing hostages. After that, all ten units, of 70 devotees, will be en-route to Southern ring-road expressway to escape.
The last phase of their mission is to expose the documents stolen from Wu Family via the media to bring the family's reputation down.
But right now, three units of 21 devotees and his trusted aide went missing without reason, which made Xiang Beiming questions about the importance of his mission.
He's suspecting that there's a traitor in their Templar Church, which is the hugest possibility because each step he made met with failure. Of course, that's because Zhang Qin Feng's information is not available in the list of personnel provided by their hirer.
If they managed to guess the possibility of Zhang Qin Feng coming back to Changzhou on the weekend, perhaps a different choice can be made before the start of their operation.
Xiang Beiming hesitates, but with how the situation progressed, there's no turning back. He ordered the devotees to move the hostage together in the main event square before they pack their equipment and ready to leave.
As long they managed to leave over 1.5km away from the detonation signal, the explosives will be ignited and bury the hostages within the mall.
"This is the fate of the chosen."
"Next time, chose to be a devotee. You'll flourishes because of your sacrifice now," Xiang Beiming made a prayer for the sacrifice before he left the mall through their side entrance.
Coincidently, that's where the office of Brilliant Tiger Gate Gang is situated. As Xiang Beiming left the mall with his people and equipment, Zhang Qin Feng is walking over to the other side of the car to hold Luo Qing.
"Yue Qiang?" Xiang Beiming stares at his kill target. At the same time, Yue Qiang is wondering why there's a group of people with firearms out here.
"Xiao Feng! It's the terrorist!" Yue Qiang's shot bought two seconds worth of time for them to escape.
And Yue Han bought then two more seconds.
"Fire!!!" Xiang Beiming pointed at the car with three people, where 28 devotees immediately aim their rifles at Zhang Qin Feng's group.
"Vroom!" Yue Han's quick action knocks down three out of 28 devotees, with his hand pressing on the honk.
"Han!!!" Yue Qiang knows that they're doomed this time. With Yue Han's car stalled beside a lamp pole, all of them is a sitting duck.
The first round of bullets swept over their car, leaving patterns like beehives everywhere.
[Owner in danger. Automatic defensive mode activated]
Mother-Key reacts, but Zhang Qin Feng has no time to read the message at this moment!
[Toot!]
[ChemRail rifle is ready]
[Fire]
The battlefield was pelted with an automatic railgun, turning all devotees into flying pieces of flesh, blood, and chipped bones.
"Aargh!" everyone screamed from the shock.
