At noon, a group of seven or eight cyclists were riding along a sea-circuit road under the scorching sun.
"Come on everyone, the next resting point is not far ahead. Let's rest there for an hour and replenish water!"
"Got it!" "Okay!"
The leading captain said hello, and the team soon arrived at a viewing platform with a wide view.
"Captain, the scenery here is nice." A rider next to the leading captain said while drinking water and looking around.
Indeed, the scenery here is excellent. On the left is the endless sea. Under the steep cliffs, the waves hit the rocks and stirred up waves.
On the right is a seaside town. Most of the scattered buildings are concentrated on a relatively flat patch of land at the foot of the mountain...
"It doesn't matter what you say, this is called Jinghai Town. Although the location is a bit remote, the natural scenery is well preserved.
Hey! Old cat, don’t you like aerial photography? This is the best viewing spot I carefully selected.”
"Haha! Thank you for taking care of me, captain. I will send you an aerial MV later."
The man called Lao Mao was in the middle of the team. Like the others, he was dressed like an ordinary cyclist.
He smiled and took off his sunglasses, then took out a small folding drone from the mountaineering bag behind him and began to unfold it.
"Hey! I've been waiting for your words."
The captain chuckled and looked at the small drone in the opponent's hand, with a slight look of envy on his face.
"Tsk tsk! The latest DJ Mavic 2 series drone, one on the market costs more than 10,000, right?"
"Oh! Really? Can't you tell, Old Cat is still a rich man."
"Send me a copy of the MV later too!"
Everyone laughed.
"Haha! No problem!"
"Old Cat", or Ning Shisan, whose real codename is "Black Cat", smiled and nodded in agreement...
"Buzz~" The drone buzzed and jumped into the air.
After hovering above everyone's heads for a while, he gradually flew away, as if looking for a shooting scene, heading towards the seaside town...
Ning Shisan controlled the direction of the drone while looking at the aerial footage on his mobile phone, looking like an ordinary aerial photography enthusiast.
In fact, his eyes never leave a certain building on the screen...
Jinghai Town.
This is a remote town located on the eastern coast that gradually developed from a small fishing village.
Surrounded by mountains on three sides, it has a population of just over 20,000 residents, maintaining considerable natural scenery and simple folk customs.
The main local economic pillars are tourism, fishing and seafood processing.
In this inconspicuous seaside town, there is a small welfare home built on the mountainside, far away from the town, which looks inconspicuous, providing shelter for local orphans and disabled children...
That's right, the name of this orphanage is——
"Jinghai Welfare Institute"!
This key place, which was mentioned many times in Meng Lang's autobiography, finally slowly surfaced.
Some time ago, Ning Shisan began the task of tracking Zhao Hu.
With the cooperation of urban road surveillance and drones, every move of the other party is almost completely under strict remote monitoring.
Everything was calm... until the other party walked into the woods near the orphanage late the night before yesterday...
Two days later, a large living person disappeared out of thin air and was never seen again.
But even though it was a small orphanage that looked inconspicuous, Ning Shisan didn't dare to act rashly.
Even within 5 kilometers of this welfare home, you need to blend in with the crowd and disguise yourself as a cyclist.
It’s no wonder that the top mercenaries, who don’t even frown under the hail of bullets on the battlefield, are so cautious.
The information Meng Lang gave was really too scary...
[Enemy stronghold: Jinghai Welfare Institute.
Warning distance: unknown.
Investigation method: unknown.
Enemy combat capabilities: eavesdropping, parasitism, transformation, mind control, etc...
Enemy characteristics: Unspeakable.
Warning! Warning! Warning!
Every move you make may be under the surveillance of the other party. Every word or deed you make may attract the attention of the other party and lead to disaster...
Mission suggestion: Shh~]
If it were anyone else, Ning Shisan would have beaten this kind of mission intelligence person in charge who was so blabbering and incomprehensible.
But that person is a mysterious person...
It was the mysterious organization that used only his single combat power to influence a local war in Charia, stole cultural relics like a bag of treasures, and was almost omnipotent in his eyes...
So he didn't dare to be careless at all.
The level of both parties seems to have gone beyond the scope of ordinary humans.
At this time, if a tool like me dares to be so careless and not take it seriously, it's because I don't want to die quickly enough!
Faced with such a terrifying enemy that was elusive even with investigation methods and warning distance, Ning Shisan had long regarded this small Jinghai Town as a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.
"It's impossible to go in. Even if you kill me, I won't go in..."
Ning Shisan thought to himself.
I don’t know why, maybe it’s the keen intuition brought by long experience in the battlefield.
Or perhaps it was a premonition brought about by his tragic death in a certain time and space...
Looking at the dilapidated three-story building in the aerial footage, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
It's like looking at a bloody maw that chooses and devours people...
…
"Buzz~"
Jinghai Welfare Home.
A seventy-year-old woman who was walking in the open space of the courtyard suddenly looked up at the sky as if feeling something.
The vision of the cloudy and somewhat white eyes has long deteriorated, but they seem to be very serious about catching something in the sky.
It wasn't until the looming little black spot in the sky passed over the orphanage and quickly disappeared that he slowly withdrew his gaze.
"There seem to be more and more annoying flies in the past two days..."
The old woman's voice was extremely hoarse, with a harsh feeling like metal scratching against glass.
"Grandma! They are a group of ordinary travelers nearby. Someone sent out a drone to take aerial photos. I have seen this on TV."
Next to the old woman, a little girl holding a puppy in her arms said with an innocent smile.
If Ning Shisan were here, he would be extremely shocked.
Although they were several kilometers apart, the other party seemed to be immersed in the situation and grasped the situation of his team...
If this is really an infiltration...
I'm afraid I'll have to get a lunch box in a few minutes.
"Woo~" the white-haired puppy in the little girl's arms whimpered twice.
The old woman stretched out her hand and rubbed the puppy's head, calming it down immediately.
"Drones...human machines are really becoming more and more advanced."
"Well! The brilliance of this kind of civilization before it dies is as gorgeous as fireworks~"
The little girl had an innocent smile on her face, but the words she said made people shudder.
"Haha! But because of this, Chao's decision-making has changed from conservative to radical.
Human civilization in the future will be much more lively than it is now..."
"Hehe! I'm looking forward to it~"
The old woman touched the little girl's head lovingly, and a smile appeared on her wrinkled old face.
She looked at the little girl with extremely satisfied eyes, like...
Looking at a perfect masterpiece?
"Roar~"
At this moment, a faint roar like a wild beast suddenly came from deep in the orphanage.
Ordinary people's ears cannot hear this faint sound, but the old woman and the little girl looked in a certain direction at the same time...
"Grandma, the experimental product sent this time seems not to be very good."
"Haha! After all, it is a quick and forced transformation. It is normal for the rejection reaction to be more intense... let's go."
"Grandma, let me help you~"
The little girl put down the dog and helped the old woman.
"Woof woof!" The white-haired puppy got free and immediately ran to an open land not far away like joy.
There, a group of orphans of various ages were playing with several puppies.
The crisp laughter of children and the cheerful barking of dogs spread all the way outside the fence.
Several residents who happened to be passing by heard the sounds coming from the wall, and couldn't help but smile.
There is a kind old dean, an innocent little girl, and the laughter of orphans.
There is also a welfare home for a group of stray dogs...
