Infinite Fighting

Chapter 40: Shanli Island Incident

On November 10, the weather had turned significantly cooler.

The temperature at Jingou Mountain dropped to three degrees.

But Zhang Ji didn't feel cold.

A martial artist with master-level horizontal training skills, he just practices some breathing techniques and his entire body becomes like a furnace.

Ever since he got the Moonlight Cup, combined with the resources from the previous martial arts conference, he has made rapid progress. Zhang Ji currently has four essences of the "Snake Fist" and is expected to master this style of boxing between the 22nd and 23rd of this month.

He was so fascinated and intoxicated by the feeling of becoming stable and stronger that he refused to go down the mountain to play when Shen Han invited him.

In the afternoon, the sun came out after being cloudy for a while. Zhang Ji was practicing martial arts in the yard when suddenly the phone rang.

He answered the phone and the person on the other end was Li Long.

"Yeah, okay, I'll be right there."

After Zhang Ji responded twice, he quickly packed up and went to the medical building inside Wuxingmen.

After all, Wuxingmen is a martial arts sect, so injuries are inevitable here, so there is a medical building on Jingou Mountain, which can perform most surgeries, and even a heart transplant is not a problem.

After arriving at the medical building and taking the elevator to the third floor, Zhang Ji went straight to the room that Li Long had agreed to.

When Zhang Ji arrived, he found that there was not only Li Long here, but also Yan Ruifeng, Wang Quan, and two people dressed in elders' clothes.

The two elders, one male and one female, looked to be at least fifty years old.

Judging from their clothes, Zhang Ji determined their identities.

The man is Zheng Chengze, the elder of the Tiger Hall, and the woman is Chen Anhe, the elder of the Snake Hall.

Both of them are master-level figures, but they are usually out managing the business of the Wuxing Sect and staying in charge of one side, so Zhang Ji had never met them before.

This is the first time we meet.

After Zhang Ji arrived, he first greeted everyone and then started talking to Li Long.

"How are the people?" Zhang Ji asked.

"He has several gunshot wounds on his body and a slight infection, but it's not a big problem. He just fainted due to malnutrition. He contacted Elder Zheng first and said he wanted to find you. Then Elder Zheng sent him to Jingou Mountain, but he fainted on the way, so he was sent here directly." Li Long said to Wu Chen who was lying on the bed in the ward receiving nutrient solution.

Zhang Ji glanced at the unconscious Wu Chen, then looked at Zheng Chengze and asked, "Elder Zheng, what is the specific situation?"

"I don't know much. He has been keeping an eye on me. For now, I only know that something happened on Shanli Island. Shanli Island is still under control. There is no internet and no transportation. We can't get any news from there." Zheng Chengze said, "For details, we have to wait until he wakes up."

"Give him two injections?" Zhang Ji asked Wang Quan.

"You don't have to tell me, I'm just waiting for you to come." Wang Quan said.

Immediately, he signaled a medical staff to come over.

The man came to Wu Chen who was lying on the bed, took out a needle bag filled with silver needles from a wooden box, unfolded it, took out a silver needle from it, and inserted it into Wu Chen's acupuncture point.

After inserting the needle, he twisted it slightly and injected the vital energy. Wu Chen's body trembled, and then he suddenly opened his eyes.

The medical staff stood up and left on their own, leaving the space to everyone.

After Wu Chen woke up in shock, he looked around and then saw Zhang Ji.

"Zhang Ji!" Wu Chen said.

His voice was a little hoarse and a little excited.

"It's me. Tell me slowly what happened." Zhang Ji said.

"Official people came to Shanli Island and wanted to control all the urban areas. Then they killed many people. Kratos united everyone to resist, but they were suppressed. We couldn't defeat them, and Kratos's hand was broken. This is different from what was agreed at the beginning. The higher-ups clearly promised us temporary autonomy and that they would not interfere!! Why? Why!!"

Wu Chen became more and more excited as he spoke, his face full of confusion and puzzlement, but Zhang Ji could see that there was more helplessness in his expression, and he was powerless to do anything about the pressure of fate.

On Shanli Island, he only had a gun and a few people who obeyed his orders. He was not even a professional fighter. Facing this series of events, he seemed very weak, just like those ordinary people.

"Speak slowly and in detail, don't be impatient." Zhang Ji said soothingly.

Wu Chen was brought back to his senses by Zhang Ji's words. He regained his composure, organized his words, and said, "It's like this. Some people have approached Mr. Kui before."

Soon, Wu Chen explained what happened from his own perspective.

After Zhang Ji and his team left Shanli Island, Councillor Liu Hetong adopted a conciliatory policy as the governance strategy for Shanli Island. They planned to slowly transform it over a period of five years. In order to avoid too much resistance, they were allowed to govern themselves and only given guidance plans for the people of Shanli Island to implement.

And the executor is Kratos.

As long as Kratos really completes this task, he will become the mayor of Shanli City, Shanli Island.

This is a good stepping stone.

Kratos was happy to accept the olive branch thrown by others.

But Shanli Island is not a clean place after all. Other parliamentarians in the past have left many not-so-bright traces here.

They want to clean up these traces and avoid any trouble.

So I found Kratos.

But their method of clearing up traces was a bit too simple and crude, and Kratos did not agree.

Of course, maybe Kratos has other considerations.

But none of this matters. What matters is that soon after the rejection, the people behind it began to implement another set of tactics.

An armed force was sent directly to the island to control Kratos and his men, and then began to violently clear up the evidence.

Most of those who had participated in related industries were killed directly, and even those urban areas were directly bombed.

Kratos and his men organized a resistance, but they were no match for these warriors equipped with high-tech weapons, not even a single blow from them.

However, Kratos and his men did not really want to fight. They were very clear about the gap between them. They just took the opportunity to seize a lifeboat and sent a few people out to pass on the message.

Among these people is Wu Chen.

After Wu Chen and his companions got ashore, they fled separately. Wu Chen did not even take any transportation into the city. He kept surviving in the wilderness like a savage. Only then was he able to escape and get in touch with the Wuxingmen.

This is also the reason why he is malnourished.

After receiving the news, Li Long gave Zhang Ji a look, and then walked out of the ward with the others. Zhang Ji comforted Wu Chen and said, "You should have a good rest, and the matter should be properly handled."

That being said, Zhang Ji still had no idea.

This matter obviously involves a lot of things, and the specific circumstances are still unknown.

Zhang Ji caught up with Li Long and asked, "What is the plan of Wuxingmen?"

"We will inform Councillor Liu Hetong that the island is the political achievement he needs. Now that something has happened, it depends on what he thinks. Besides, the specific situation over there is still unknown. It has been so long, maybe they have already left." Li Long replied.

"What's the worst outcome?" Zhang Ji asked.

"Liu Hetong knew all this a long time ago, but he pretended nothing happened and went along with them. Shanli Island was cleansed by people sent by those congressmen, and rivers of blood flowed. But then the bigwigs remained glamorous and not stained with a single speck of dirt." Li Long replied.

Zhang Ji nodded, not surprised at the answer.

In fact, even if this matter is exposed, it will not cause much trouble.

It just makes them a little more troublesome.

However, the big shots don't want to get involved in any trouble at all. After all, it is too embarrassing for them.

After waiting for about half an hour, Wuxingmen received a reply from Liu Hetong.

First, he expressed his gratitude for passing on the message, and then he wanted to borrow someone from the Five Elements Sect to handle the matter, expel the people who came to the island, and preferably collect relevant evidence.

Liu Hetong is different from those parliamentarians who come from aristocratic families. He has a weak foundation and can mobilize very few forces to do things, so the Wuxingmen has the opportunity to connect with him.

Otherwise, even if the Wuxingmen was of considerable size, as a councillor, the two sides would not have such a deep level of cooperation.

In the meeting room, Li Long, Yan Ruifeng and several elders were present, and Zhang Ji was also listening as a true disciple.

"If he lets us go to help, the people under him won't get involved. If anything goes wrong, they will just throw us away and get away with it completely. It's a nice idea." Hetang Elder Liu Shan sneered.

"The resources in western Sichuan province are very rich. It won't be a loss if we are allowed to enter," said Yan Ruifeng.

"But the prerequisite is that the problem can really be solved. They are sending out professional armed forces, while our security personnel only have civilian exoskeletons and cannot be equipped with medium-sized or above weapons." Zheng Chengze said in a deep voice.

"Strictly speaking, there are only five models in service, and the rest are similar to ours. Those pirates are even worse than us, and they obviously have no intention of making a big fuss." Wang Quan said.

"Aren't five enough?" Liu Shan retorted, "Even a master might not be able to defeat one of them."

"Along, what do you think?" Yan Ruifeng looked at Li Long and asked.

"Fight!" Li Long spat out one word.

He has always had a radical temperament, and even though he has become much more restrained after leaving the island, his core remains unchanged.

When the risks and benefits are equal, he will definitely fight for the possible one.

"Then how about letting Aaron take people there? He happens to be familiar with the place!" Yan Ruifeng asked.

"I agree." Wang Quan said immediately.

He is an absolute pro-dragon faction, and he unconditionally supports any decision made by Li Long.

"I agree too." Chen Anhe nodded.

"Then I agree too." Zheng Chengze said.

"I abstain." Liu Shan said unhappily.

"Then let's do this. A'long will lead the team, and Elder Zheng and Elder Liu will assist us in carrying out this mission." Yan Ruifeng said to the two elders, "Thank you for your help."

"It's all for the sect, it's what I should do." Wang Quan said.

"I'll go gather some people now," said Zheng Chengze.

Immediately, he stood up and started contacting people.

Zhang Ji could see clearly that Yan Ruifeng was laying the foundation for Li Long.

As long as this task is completed successfully, Li Long's subordinates will have achieved great merit, and it will be easy for him to take over the affairs of the Wuxingmen afterwards.

And this time we can also have some contact with the sect’s armed forces in advance.

No matter which power you belong to, only those who can control the armed forces can truly control the core of power.
