Today's test was another major failure.

You Yonghuai hadn't held out much hope to begin with, and now he was completely disheartened. He then relayed the information about the hideout that he had obtained from the "deliveryman" to Ling Xiuqi.

Is this location authentic?

"He admitted it himself, so of course it's true." To prevent Ling Xiuqi from disbelieving him, You Yonghuai explained the details.

"That saves me the trouble of studying that snake again," Ling Xiuqi said with a smile, straightening his clothes. "You've done a great job this time."

After saying that, Ling Xiuqi picked up the "deliveryman" with one hand and gestured for You Yonghuai to follow.

It seemed as if some kind of illusion was used, and along the way, no one noticed the "deliveryman" struggling in his hands.

A black sedan was parked downstairs at the hospital, and Li Yongqi, dressed in plain clothes, was sitting in the driver's seat.

"To avoid alerting them, I didn't have Captain Li wear a uniform," Ling Xiuqi explained as he opened the back door of the car and casually tossed the "deliveryman" inside.

After binding the "deliveryman's" feet together with a special rope, Ling Xiuqi closed the car door and opened the trunk.

Two identical black suitcases lay inside.

"They were originally intended to be used to save you, but now they have a new purpose." Ling Xiuqi tossed one suitcase to You Yonghuai, took the other for himself, and then let Li Yongqi drive away.

"What are these things?" You Yonghuai opened the briefcase and found more than a dozen props of various sizes inside, exuding a high-tech atmosphere.

"They specifically asked me to bring the prototype combat suit they sent over for testing, so I can make improvements."

Ling Xiuqi hailed a taxi on the spot, gave the location of the outpost, and laughed, "It's perfect that you've obtained the intelligence; this is a good opportunity to test them out."

Pingyang Road was built a long time ago and is very narrow; cars can't drive through it. If it were on a mountain, it would be considered a winding mountain path.

"Build a base in a place like this?" Ling Xiuqi took out a pair of goggles from his suitcase and sneered, "A bunch of rats in the gutter."

He observed traces of spirituality.

After taking all the weapons and equipment out of the suitcase and helping You Yonghuai put them on, Ling Xiuqi laughed and said, "Come on, I'll take you out for a good fight."

Aura tracking, automatic defense, wall penetration, and even automatic firing of "Seastone"... Looking at the dazzling array of functions displayed on the goggles, You Yonghuai was overjoyed.

Aside from its slightly insufficient attack power and the fact that most of its functions are one-time use, it's practically perfect.

The stronghold of the organization whose name You Yonghuai still doesn't know is located in the alley; you can find it in just a few steps.

Standing at the rusty iron gate, Ling Xiuqi carefully observed for a while, and after confirming the members inside, he whispered the order: "Prepare the hand cannon in your left hand. Start firing as soon as I break down the gate."

This equipment has a hand cannon on each hand. The left hand is loaded with a special substance that can limit supernatural abilities, while the right hand is used to fire tranquilizer darts that can track living beings.

After nodding to indicate that he understood, You Yonghuai raised his left arm and aimed the muzzle of the hand cannon at the iron gate.

"Bang!"

Instead of using the equipment provided with his combat gear, Ling Xiuqi chose the simplest and most straightforward way to break down the door—kicking it down.

The old iron gate collapsed with a heavy thud, followed by the sound of artillery shells being fired and the panicked cries of the people inside the stronghold.

"Who broke in!?"

"It's the police! Destroy all the documents immediately!"

"Oh no! Team leader, the equipment has all malfunctioned!"

The man called the group leader was in the deepest room. He peeked out the door, then turned and ran without hesitation.

"So there really is a backdoor." Ling Xiuqi shrugged, raised his right arm, and fired at the team leader.

"Ouch!"

"thump!"

Almost everyone inside the base was wearing a white coat, and even when they saw the team leader fall to the ground after running out the back door, they still rushed towards the back door.

"Let them get some sleep... Luckily, we have enough anesthetic needles." Ling Xiuqi supported his right arm and continued firing anesthetic needles.

You Yonghuai stood to the side, stitching one needle at a time, feeling extremely comfortable.

This feeling of hitting the bullseye every time... is this the power of the lock-on hook?

Because the base was small, there was only one very narrow passage leading to the back door. With so many people crammed together, no one could escape.

Everyone in the stronghold lay dead in the corridor, all neatly arranged.

Being young is great; you can fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow.

To avoid accidentally injuring Si Xuanyin, Ling Xiuqi and You Yonghuai did not use any lethal weapons, but even just seeing the symbol representing the Special Operations Department on the combat gear terrified the group.

"The spirituality here isn't very high..." Ling Xiuqi glanced around and said, "It seems this is a research base."

Looking at the pile of white coats, Ling Xiuqi felt somewhat disappointed.

He originally thought there would be one or two capable people in the stronghold, people who were somewhat strong but not very strong, and who would be perfect for testing combat sets.

"Hey, Captain Li, I've taken down a stronghold here. Can you send someone over to take them away? ...A police car? No, no, you...you should bring a big truck. There are too many people here."

While Ling Xiuqi was on the phone, You Yonghuai also found Si Xuanyin's body, which had been kidnapped. At this moment, the young girl was covered with a thick cloth, on which many instruments were attached.

"Why are you covered by a cloth?" You Yonghuai glanced at Si Xuanyin beside him, and asked as he stepped forward to unplug the equipment.

"To protect against bulls." Si Xuanyin raised an eyebrow. "Before I fell into a coma, I specially used alchemy to create an item and implanted it in my body. Apart from a few people I allowed, if anyone tries to touch me, that item will automatically discharge electricity."

Upon hearing this, You Yonghuai's hand, which was about to pull out the instrument, froze in mid-air.

"Don't worry, I'd never shock you, no matter who else I'm shocking," Si Xuanyin said with a meaningful smile, resting her chin on her hand.

"That's good." After removing all the medical equipment, You Yonghuai lifted the heavy cloth and picked up Si Xuanyin, who was only wearing a hospital gown.

"How is it? Do I smell good?"

"...The disinfectant has already soaked in." You Yonghuai chuckled.

After waiting for a while, the police sent by Li Yongqi arrived in a large truck and parked outside Pingyang Road. They then got out of the truck and, together with Ling Xiuqi, began to move the group of unconscious people in white coats.

Ling Xiuqi wanted You Yonghuai to come and lend a hand, but he accidentally touched Si Xuanyin's finger and was jolted by the electric shock. Even as an important member of the special operations department, he couldn't help but feel the pain.

After glancing at You Yonghuai, who was perfectly fine, he shook his head and let the two of them be.

Anyway, he can lift two people with one hand, it's no different from lifting a chick.
