In a mountain hollow somewhere in Zhang Mountain, at the original defensive position constructed by the Iron Chain Gang, the ground was covered with corpses of Iron Chain Gang members, most of them incomplete. The fortress fortifications here were still well-preserved, because the Molan Company didn't launch a direct assault at all. These fortifications could only cope with enemies coming from the ground and from down the mountain, and could not stop the Fighting Mantis, who could fly, jump in the mountain forests, and adapt to various terrains. Moreover, the Fighting Mantis were tactical. Some attracted attention in the front, while others circled around from behind the mountain and from both sides to attack them. Because the construction of the position was almost entirely facing forward, and the Iron Chain Gang members could not be said to have high combat literacy, they were almost defenseless against attacks from other directions. After the Fighting Mantis's surprise attack, the Blood Ink Guard then stormed the position. They were not afraid of ordinary firearms at all, and with their movement speed almost impossible to capture with the naked eye, they broke through the defensive line in just a few breaths. As for the gang members in the fortresses, when passing by the entrances of those fortresses, they only needed to throw a can of nerve agent in to immediately paralyze the people inside to death. This fortress complex, which in the past could resist thousands of troops, was dismantled in just over ten minutes. Of course, it was also related to the fact that the Iron Chain Gang had no artillery and their combat quality was not high. But even if all of these were available, there would not be a good solution to the Fighting Mantis, who can be said to be all-terrain, and the Blood Ink Guard, who have reaction speeds beyond ordinary people. To put it bluntly, these weapons and fortifications were aimed at old-fashioned armies composed of ordinary people, and had no resistance against the elite rapid squads and combat weaponry that are now armed to the teeth. It's just that there were fewer Iron Chain Gang people here than expected, less than two hundred. You should know that the Iron Chain Gang is a large gang with tens of thousands of people, and it is possible to gather a thousand or so elite gang members. The Molan Company personnel analyzed that the Iron Chain Gang may not want to work for the people above, and only arranged a small number of people here for the purpose of dealing with errands. In any case, they have come here, and most of the plan has succeeded. Because this area is the narrowest and easiest part of the mountainous area to pass through, so once this place was opened, all personnel quickly passed through the mountainous area in less than an hour. As they walked out of this valley, what appeared in front of them was a gentle earthen slope about sixty meters high. The five directors walked up to it, looking at the endless Great Wasteland in front of them. Standing here, they felt that they had grasped an entire world. Their destination this time was the Land of Chaos, located two thousand kilometers away. As long as they get there, with the strength in their hands, they can re-establish the Melan Kingdom there. But they won't just walk over there. "Here they come." After waiting for a while, in a certain direction noticed by a director, two silver large airships were flying towards here. As they approached, people with sharp eyes could already see the rotating propellers on the sides and rear of the airships. These were two large rigid airships secretly built by the Molan Company in the northwestern mountains. Each airship can carry more than two hundred people after carrying key equipment, enough to take most of them to the Land of Chaos within a day. The mooring tower had already been established under the arrangement of the Iron Chain Gang's internal support, just under this earth slope. Under the persuasion of the internal support, the upper echelons of the Iron Chain Gang had previously tried to build a small airship, as well as an equipped factory. This was a back road arranged by the upper echelons of the Iron Chain Gang for themselves, so that they could retreat at a critical moment. But they didn't know that all of this was deliberately arranged by Melan, and even the technology and materials were secretly assisted by them. Now all the things, including the nearby airship factory and the airship, have been taken over by their people, which makes their evacuation plan more convenient and abundant. "The pursuers will arrive in as little as an hour. We have set up a simple blocking position below. No matter how they chase, it will be too late to catch up with us," a director said. "In the Land of Chaos, the Molan Company will be rebuilt there." "Yes, the chaotic land will give it enough nourishment, and a brand new Melan will bloom there." While these directors were looking forward to the future, in the Yangzhi City police headquarters' operations conference room, the participants seemed to have exploded. Searᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. At this moment, they also received the news. After all, they had no reason not to see such a large airship moving. "Such a big airship, and you didn't notice it? What are you doing?" Someone accused loudly. A political affairs official wiped the cold sweat from his head with a handkerchief, and defended, "We know that the Molan Company has a hot air balloon factory there, which is only for sightseeing, but we really didn't expect that there would be an airship factory there..." It's far away there, and it's in the mountains, which has nothing to do with Yangzhi City, and the mountains are much more dangerous than the city. Who would bother to go there to inspect? "Commissioner Cao, what should we do now? The people we sent over can't catch up at all." As this question was raised, all eyes in the room were focused on Commissioner Cao, after all, he was the main person in charge of this matter. Commissioner Cao said in a deep voice: "Don't chase them." "What?" Commissioner Cao looked outside at this time, and slowly repeated: "Don't chase them." The Molan Company personnel began to converge on the airship factory built by the Iron Chain Gang at the junction of the Great Wasteland and Zhang Mountain. They were going to inflate the small airship inside, and wait for the two large airships to land at the mooring place outside. "Supervisor Cui, what are you doing? Who are you sending a message to?" A Company employee looked strangely at Cui Hong, the deputy supervisor of the Security guard. At this time, he was sitting alone on the side, sending a message with a radio. Cui Hong replied casually: "It's nothing, just sending a message to our colleagues in the Land of Chaos who are coming to meet us." The employee didn't suspect anything when he saw his relaxed appearance, because even if he sent a message to Yangzhi City now, it would be useless, and the people there couldn't catch up. Looking at the behemoth that was gradually approaching in the sky, he couldn't help but feel excited. Taking such a vehicle to the Land of Chaos would be like a god descending. At this moment, twenty kilometers away from them, on a series of circular rails, a full fourteen 270mm Railway Gun were parked, which had been driven here in advance, prepared for three days, and anchored with gun bases. The gunners had already marked the firing elements, and all the muzzles were aimed at the area where the Molan Company people were at the moment. The Army of Hangu City took a year to build the rails here, but next, the rails will continue to be built until they connect Yangzhi City, connecting Hangu City and Yangzhi City on land. At this moment, after receiving the long-awaited Telegram, the receiver immediately notified the supreme commander in charge of this operation. The officer wearing a wide-brimmed hat looked at the mountain shadows in the south, picked up the phone, and said in a deep voice: "Pass my order, fire at the established target!!" "Fire!" "Fire!" "Fire!" "..." As the order was passed down, fourteen train cannons roared to the sky. At this moment, time seemed to freeze, followed by the earth trembling, and a large amount of smoke instantly filled the air. After sending the Telegram, Cui Hong leisurely took out a cigarette, lit it as if enjoying it, and then handed a written Telegram to the Company employee next to him, "Go and hand this telegram to the five directors." The employee took it and was overjoyed. This was to let him show his face in front of the five directors. This was a rare opportunity. He said gratefully: "Thank you, Supervisor." "Yes, go ahead." Cui Hong slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, took off his hat representing the Molan Company, put on an old hat he carried with him, pinned a Da Shun Republic cap badge on his chest, and looked up at the sky. "The sky is so blue..." The employee ran eagerly towards the direction where the five directors were, but he was soon stopped by the Blood Ink Guard. He could only wave the Telegram in his hand and shouted: "Directors, a Telegram from the Land of Chaos, Deputy Supervisor Cui asked me to give it to you." The five directors were immediately attracted by the word Land of Chaos, but they were a little confused, because they had not asked Cui Hong to handle this matter before, and this should be managed by the intelligence department. A trace of vigilance and doubt could not help but appear in their eyes, and they immediately asked someone to take the telegram. At the same time, they glanced outside. All the Blood Ink Guard were guarding them loyally at the moment, which made them very at ease. As long as these people were guarding them, nothing would happen. After confirming that there was no problem with the Telegram, it was brought over. One of the directors took it and saw that it read, "General Affairs Bureau Special Agent Cui Hong, code name Lone Goose, greets you all and wishes you a pleasant journey." The director's pupils shrank sharply, and a huge sense of fear suddenly gripped his heart, but just as he was about to say something, at this moment, the shells that had been flying in the air for as long as half a minute finally landed on this area! Boom! These shells not only covered this area, but also blew up all the hydrogen stored in the airship factory, and a huge fireball rolled up into the sky! The dull explosion was then transmitted to Yangzhi City, so that everyone could hear it clearly, and even the windows hummed and some dust fell from them. "Commissioner Cao?" "Commissioner Cao, this is..." Commissioner Cao did not explain anything. He just looked to the north and silently took off his hat. Not only him, but all the General Affairs Bureau personnel here took off their hats. Most people didn't know why, but some people reacted and showed a solemn look on their faces. Half a minute later, Commissioner Cao put his hat back on, he walked to the side, picked up the phone, and said in a deep voice: "Order the team to accelerate their advance and clear out all enemies in sight!"
