Chapter 317: Find a Person Named Yang Chen (2/5)
Decheng.
This area is directly under the jurisdiction of Ningchuan. Previously, it was just a small county town, but after the discovery of coal mines, the local economy skyrocketed, transforming it into a county-level city managed directly by Ningchuan.
However, Decheng has not been peaceful lately.
The city's security officers are all equipped with weapons, and the number of patrol cars has increased on the roads.
On the way to Great Heap Mountain, inside an armored vehicle, sit several fully armed security officers.
Miss Zhao is the only female security officer among them.
She has always admired their captain, Zheng Tianhan, who returned from retirement from the Guard. He is a multi-time champion of the joint competition, and it's rumored that he participated in real combat, even serving in the special and guard forces, making him seem like a legend.
She still remembers, on Zheng Tianhan's first day reporting to the special guard team, he declared he wanted to challenge the strongest person there.
In the end, everyone was defeated by Zheng Tianhan.
From that moment on, Zheng Tianhan established his position in the unit.
Having executed numerous missions before, Miss Zhao had never seen Zheng Tianhan nervous.
But today, she can clearly see that Zheng Tianhan is tense, his lips tightly pressed, brow furrowed, and she can even see beads of sweat densely covering his forehead.
"Captain." Miss Zhao softly called, looking at Zheng Tianhan.
But Zheng Tianhan didn't respond.
Miss Zhao called several times in succession before Zheng Tianhan reacted, somewhat distractedly looking at Miss Zhao.
"What's wrong?" Zheng Tianhan asked.
Miss Zhao cautiously looked at Zheng Tianhan, "Captain, what's the matter?"
"Oh!" Zheng Tianhan came to his senses and smiled, "It's nothing."
Miss Zhao didn't believe him, as she noticed Zheng Tianhan's eyes were evasive.
"Captain, is it because of this mission?" Miss Zhao pursued further.
Silence enveloped Zheng Tianhan.
The entire vehicle was silent, so quiet that a pin dropping to the ground could be heard, and he could even hear everyone's somewhat heavy breathing.
Zheng Tianhan lifted his head, and when he looked at everyone, he found they were all staring at him.
Zheng Tianhan couldn't help but frown.
After a long while, Zheng Tianhan sighed and said to everyone, "Perhaps the leaders haven't told you, but I must remind you, our task is just to monitor. If the enemy appears, do not engage! Absolutely do not engage! Run as far away as possible!"
Miss Zhao asked, confused, "Why?"
"Because in a direct confrontation, we are absolutely no match for him!" Zheng Tianhan said solemnly.
"Don't we have snipers?" said Miss Zhao.
"Ha!" Zheng Tianhan sneered, fixing his gaze on Miss Zhao, "Do you think he wouldn't know where the snipers are?"
"Discover?" Miss Zhao smiled slightly, "Captain, you're joking, our snipers are at least a hundred yards away, how could he possibly detect them!"
"Ha ha!" Zheng Tianhan sneered again, his gaze sweeping over everyone, speaking in a grave tone, "You may not believe my words, but if you want to survive, remember to run if you see him. If you can't escape, lie down on the ground, hold your head, discard all your weapons, do not attempt to resist or dream of defeating him!"
"Why?" Miss Zhao asked, frowning.
"Because... even if we had a reinforced company, we wouldn't stand a chance against him!" Zheng Tianhan said in a serious tone.
"How is that possible!" Miss Zhao did not believe it.
Not only Miss Zhao, but even the other team members did not believe it.
Those sitting here are the core personnel, and they've experienced quite a bit. Although they were skeptical, they had never seen Zheng Tianhan like this before, and they lacked confidence.
Seeing the doubtful expressions of everyone, Zheng Tianhan took a deep breath and said to the group, "Alright then, today I'll educate you on something!"
Everyone stared intently at Zheng Tianhan with serious expressions.
"Do you know how many types of guards exist worldwide?" Zheng Tianhan asked.
Miss Zhao immediately responded, "Anyone knows that — land, sea, air — can't say there's a space guard now, can you!"
As she spoke, Miss Zhao couldn't help but laugh.
Zheng Tianhan shook his head, "No! Wrong! Land, sea, and air can hardly be called categories, just common types of guards. They are large in scale and vast in numbers. Just like you, in the eyes of real guards, you barely qualify as new guards learning how to unlock weapon safeties and shoot! Perhaps some are more skilled, precise shooters capable of performing high-difficulty maneuvers with tanks and aircraft, but these are merely ordinary guards!"
"The first type is the conventional guard, which includes personnel like us currently serving. The second type is the reserve or militia. Everyone knows after retiring from the guard for three years, there is a recall period. If the nation requires it, you must return unconditionally, a crucial resource during wartime."
"These two kinds, to speak frankly, are cannon fodder! On the front lines, casualties run into the millions, triumph is secured by numbers alone."
"The third kind is civilian personnel, like art guards, signal radar, logistics guards, etc."
"The fourth kind is research guards — another essential profession in our country."
"The fifth kind..."
Zheng Tianhan took a deep breath and said solemnly, "The fifth type of guard... that's what we call those people. They are true professional guards, war machines, killing machines. Forget about a local special guard, even if a reinforced company is brought over, they might still not be adversaries! I am not joking with any of you!"
Zheng Tianhan swept his gaze over the group and said gravely, "Just like Miss Zhao mentioned our snipers earlier... In their eyes, these are akin to kids wielding cannons, devoid of any threat! What are their capabilities? To put it simply, we use light sniper rifles, they use heavy sniper cannons. Moreover, they can swiftly move through mountains and jungles, from gun setup to aiming and firing, no more than ten seconds; the accuracy rate is at least ninety percent! After firing, they move quickly, making it impossible for you to locate them. And they can find the opponent's sniper location in the shortest amount of time to eliminate them!"
"Moreover, they are professionally trained, everything in their hands can become lethal mist. For instance, a tiny toothpick can pierce your temple in three seconds, leading to your silent death. They can use a piece of rope to strangulate you within fourteen seconds or render you unconscious upon contact with a single precise punch. Furthermore, pulling a gun — in actual combat, they won't give you a chance to aim. They require that upon encountering the opponent, the first bullet fired from a drawn gun must hit! If it doesn't hit, your chances of survival increase by ninety percent! Just think, at the moment of pulling out a gun, without any aiming opportunity, you must shoot immediately, and the accuracy must exceed ninety percent — what kind of concept is that?"
"So!" Zheng Tianhan took a deep breath, "When I learned this person is from the fifth type of guard, I knew there's no chance for victory in this battle!"
Hearing so much from Zheng Tianhan, a chill ran through Miss Zhao's heart, and she trembled as she asked, "Who exactly is this person?"
Zheng Tianhan shook his head, "I don't know, I only know that this person trained in a secret guard unit, escaped after his family was killed, and took down eighteen of the murderers before surrendering voluntarily."
"What is his purpose?" Miss Zhao asked.
"It is said he is searching for someone named Yang Chen."
