Volume 2: The Church of Light Chapter 265 Crossing the Line
Xu Shen was a little surprised and his eyes moved slightly.
The last time Yue Ling contacted him was last time.
Basically, there is something going on.
Pick up the call.
"Is it convenient now?" Yue Ling's voice came immediately, extremely soft, but Xu Shen could hear a bit of suppressed anxiety.
"Just say it if you have something to say." Xu Shen said.
On the other end of the communication, Yue Ling smiled bitterly in her heart. This man was still so stubborn.
She no longer tried to tone down her voice and spoke in a normal voice:
"Do you know what's going on at the Snow Palace? I heard that Her Majesty the Queen Ant sent out her personal guards to patrol the six districts and to reorganize the slayers in each district. Have you received the news?"
"Um."
Xu Shen nodded. He had already guessed what Yue Ling had done. It was the same as what he had guessed before.
But he didn't take the initiative to point it out, he just listened quietly.
Seeing Xu Shen's response, Yue Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief. To some extent, they were allies.
"We also have personal guards coming here to reorganize the Xu Secret Bureau, but I received news... we might be incorporated by then." Having said this, Yue Ling paused, wanting to hear what Xu Shen had to say.
But there was no response from the communication end.
She almost couldn't help but ask, are you there?
But I still held back.
"Have you seen the guards?" Yue Ling asked.
Xu Shen glanced at Lou Haiyin, Feng Qing and others around him and replied, "I saw it."
Right next to you.
"Did they treat you the same way?" Yue Ling asked quickly.
"Almost." Xu Shen said.
Yue Ling thought that was exactly what was going on, and asked, "What do you think? Are you willing to be recruited? I have been in charge of the Xumi Bureau and have wanted to retire for a long time. Now I want to take this opportunity to leave, but I am worried that they will not allow it... I have another piece of news to tell you secretly."
"What news?"
"This patrol by the personal guards is fake. The real purpose is to command the power of the six districts. It seems that there will be a storm next. It may be a confrontation with other bottom cities or it may be with the inner city. In short, it will be a terrible war!" Yue Lingshen said mysteriously, and there was a bit more solemnity in his voice.
This is also the main reason why she wants to get away.
Once involved in such a large-scale war, the two states will also be cannon fodder.
"Yeah." Xu Shen responded.
It seems that Yue Ling also has some information channels of her own.
"What about you? Are you planning to join? I remember you were a member of the Light Chasing Club before, how about I join you?" Yue Ling was annoyed when she saw Xu Shen was so calm, but she could only express her thoughts.
If they hit it off right away, she wouldn't need to beg in a humble manner.
After all, the favor you ask for must be repaid.
"Join? That's fine."
Xu Shen's reaction remained calm. At this moment, he was not thinking about Yue Ling, but the Sleepless Zone.
Their Sixth Division integrated the Black Light Zone, while the Fourth Division integrated the Sleepless Zone.
There is also the Daytime Gang in the Sleepless Zone.
After coordinating the personnel of the Ruins Secret Bureau, it would be time to contact the army of the Sleepless Zone, or to sweep away other large and small private forces.
"Will your Light Chasing Club be affected?" Yue Ling asked in a low voice.
“Not really.”
Xu Shen asked: "What's the situation over there now?"
"They are coming soon. I have submitted my resignation application and asked the director to make arrangements for me. Now I am no longer a staff member of the bureau, but I am worried...that they will come after me." Yue Ling said.
Xu Shen thought for a moment and said, "Well, you go to the Bai Zhou Gang over there first."
"Daytime Gang?"
Yue Ling was stunned, and then she remembered that Xu Shen had asked her to cooperate before, and it seemed that he had a grudge against the Bai Zhou Gang.
"Well, you should have some loyal people in the Xumi Bureau. Ask them to report to you about the situation of those guards and see if they have merged with the military in your Wumian District." Xu Shen said.
Yue Ling was shocked and asked, "Will they merge with the garrison?"
"How can we integrate you without the cooperation of the military?" Xu Shen asked back.
Yue Ling choked and was a little confused, but she quickly realized that there was no doubt that Xu Shen had obtained more information than she did.
"Contact me anytime if anything happens." Xu Shen didn't say anything more and hung up the phone.
At this time.
Chen Han led the exploration team back.
"Report, they found no trace." Chen Han's face looked a little unnatural. He used to be the commander-in-chief, but now he became Xu Shen's subordinate and had to bow down to him.
Xu Shen looked at Lou Haiyin.
"They didn't see it either. It seems like it was covered up by some ability." Lou Haiyin shook his head.
Xu Shen took a close look at the ruins in front of him and indeed saw no traces left, so he had to give up.
Knowing that he has taken over the military, the other party will probably withdraw from the Black Light District and concentrate their forces in other areas.
Even if we catch up with them at this time, we can only destroy part of the opponent's power. If we attract the arrival of the king, it will be more trouble than gain.
Although it is unlikely that the king will come and attack them.
After all, the current whereabouts of the queen ant cannot be confirmed. If the opponent is absolutely sure of defeating the queen ant, he will not act sneakily.
Thinking of this, Xu Shen immediately ordered Chen Han to transfer 10 more captains and corresponding troops to gather in the Sleepless District.
Chen Han was a little surprised. While agreeing, he couldn't help but ask cautiously: "Captain Xu, our garrison troops do not invade each other. If we go over there rashly, their garrison troops have the authority to attack us..."
He was worried that Xu Shen didn't understand the interests involved.
"So I asked you to bring more people." Xu Shen gave him an answer.
Chen Han opened his mouth in surprise, looked at Xu Shen's indifferent and calm eyes, and his face suddenly twitched violently.
This madman...is he planning to start a war with the military of the Sleepless Zone? !
Thinking of this, all the pores on his body couldn't help but shrink slightly. Based on the brief contact so far, he was still unable to grasp Xu Shen's character and felt that the other party might really be able to do it.
Damn, is this also an order from Her Majesty the Queen Ant?
Chen Han couldn't help but look at Xu Shen twice more, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. He wanted to speak but didn't dare to. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and choose to acquiesce.
Anyway, he had no choice. If Xu Shen really wanted to start a war, he could only charge forward.
If the queen ant blames me, we can only deal with it later.
"Go to the sleepless area now." Xu Shen ordered.
Chen Han came back to his senses, nodded and passed on the order.
At the same time, he sent a message to the base to send more troops. At this moment, he was ready to go to war. Among the 10 second-state soldiers he dispatched, three were reconstruction system soldiers who could treat the wounded in time.
"Captain, are you planning to..."
As the vehicle moved away, Feng Qing, Lin Xiao and others also reacted and looked at Xu Shen in surprise and suspicion.
Leading the army to the Sleepless Zone, are we really going to sweep across it?
But that was the 4th Division's cleanup area.
If they go there, it means they will come into conflict with the Fourth Division!
"Get ready for war." Xu Shen ordered coldly.
After receiving this accurate answer, everyone felt awe-inspiring.
A war? This is crazy!
They suspected that Xu Shen was really crazy, and even suspected that Xu Shen had colluded with the Night Rat King and wanted to rebel!
Could it be that you are the biggest traitor?!
Although people thought about it, no one dared to say it out loud. It just felt like they were on a pirate ship.
At this point, it’s difficult to quit.
From Xu Shen’s previous brutal and violent methods, they didn’t even have the courage to ask or question him. They hoped that other young men would ask Xu Shen the reasons and causes. If Xu Shen got mad, it wouldn’t be directed at them.
They didn't realize that this kind of mentality was a reflection of Xu Shen's majesty.
Xue Mei and several other bishops looked at each other and remained silent. Although they could not understand Xu Shen's impulsive actions, they knew that they could not change Xu Shen's will.
Only by risking your life to follow.
A light armored vehicle was driving on the ground, and behind it were tank tracks rolling over the street. Xu Shen was sitting in the car with a cold look in his eyes.
This move was indeed crazy, but he knew that the queen ant had gone to Xuhai and would not return for three months.
These three months in Termite City, without a king in charge, were enough time to do a lot of things.
Although he would not collude with the Night Rat King, if the situation required, there was no harm in colluding with him.
There are no permanent allies, only permanent interests.
The greater the risk, the higher the return!
Beep.
Not long after, the communication rang again.
"It's me."
Yue Ling said hurriedly, "I just received news from the Xumi Bureau that the personal guards have already gone there. I heard that they have sent people to search for me and asked me to go back and report."
The disappearance of Ertai, who was in charge of the bureau, would definitely be investigated. Xu Shen had expected this and there was no surprise: "Besides the guards, are there any military personnel?"
"That's not the case." Yue Ling replied.
"OK."
Xu Shen hung up the phone. It seemed that the Fourth Division had not yet gone to gather the garrison troops.
The garrison troops in the Black Light District have been infiltrated, and there is no guarantee that something will happen in the Sleepless District as well. There is even the possibility that the commander-in-chief will rebel.
As soon as the call ended, Xu Shen contacted Chen Qingyun.
"Commander Xu, I was just looking for you." Chen Qingyun was quite surprised to receive the call from Xu Shen. His address and understanding of Xu Shen was still stuck at the position of leader of the Light Chasing Society.
Xu Shen didn't care about these things and said, "Did any of the guards go to your side?"
"You knew?" Chen Qingyun was a little surprised. His first reaction was that there must be many spies in the gang who were monitoring them all the time.
But this is normal.
Fortunately, I didn't do anything to betray Xu Shen.
"Some personal guards came to our door and told us to submit to them and obey their arrangements, otherwise..." Chen Qingyun lowered his voice and glanced secretly at the conference room, but he didn't know that in the shadow beside him, there was a figure standing, looking at him with cold eyes.
"How many guards? Where are they?"
"Right in the conference room, three of them." Chen Qingyun said immediately .
"Okay, wait for me there, I'll be there soon." Xu Shen said.
Chen Qingyun was stunned and a little confused, but since Xu Shen was willing to come forward, he would leave it to Xu Shen to solve it.
The call ended and he turned back to the conference room.
But the figure in the shadow beside him sneered and disappeared in the light and shadow.
Inside the meeting room.
Chen Qingyun pushed the door open and came in. He glanced around and saw two bodyguards sitting inside waiting. They seemed to be whispering about something. When they saw him come in, they stopped talking.
"Where is there another adult?" Chen Qingyun was surprised and looked around.
Suddenly, a figure came in from the wall, returned to reality and sat down.
"I just went to the bathroom. Boss Chen, have you thought about it?" The figure who sat back in the chair looked at Chen Qingyun with a smile.
Chen Qingyun smiled maturely and said, "I already know what the three adults are thinking. This idea is indeed a good one. When we first established the Bai Zhou Gang, our purpose was to serve Her Majesty the Queen Ant and solve her problems..."
"Stop talking nonsense. I'm just asking if you've thought it through." A guard next to him slammed the table.
Chen Qingyun forced a smile and said, "Think it through. After all, I am only the deputy leader. Our leader is on the way..."
"Don't play tricks on me. It's useless no matter who comes today." The guard rolled his eyes.
"A quarter of an hour."
The figure who had sat back in the chair said with a smile, "If your leader doesn't arrive within a quarter of an hour, we will ask you to compensate us by the second."
"That's right, who do you think we are? The Queen Ant's personal guards. Every minute and every second of our time is worth a fortune!" another personal guard snorted coldly.
Chen Qingyun's smile froze slightly, and he said, "Wait a moment, everyone. I'll go ask again."
"Um?"
Suddenly, one of the guards raised his eyebrows, seemed to notice something, and turned to look.
His sight penetrated reality and saw into the world of ruins.
"Who are you? Come out and stop hiding." He looked around and his gaze became cold.
It was quiet and silent all around.
Chen Qingyun was surprised. Could it be that Xu Shen arrived so quickly?
He couldn't help but look around, but he didn't see anyone either.
" If you don't come out, don't blame us for being rude." The guard said in a cold voice, and his whole body was filled with energy, floating like mist.
After a brief silence, a silver-white figure emerged from the world of ruins and said with a forced smile: "I'm just passing by."
The person who spoke was Yue Ling who had rushed here.
She didn't expect that there were personal guards here. Xu Shen asked her to come here...isn't this trying to trick her?
Or maybe Xu Shen didn't receive any information from here either.
She chose to believe the latter and could only blame herself for her bad luck.
The most infuriating thing was that as soon as he noticed these three guards, he disguised himself and hid himself, but he was still discovered.
I heard that the queen ant's personal guards are all selected outstanding dimorphs, and they really live up to their reputation.
"Since you are passing by, why not stay and have a cup of tea, little beauty?" A middle-aged guard said with a smile, looking up and down at Yue Ling's curvy figure, especially against the backdrop of silver soft armor, like an attractive white fish, making people want to play with it.
"Since you are talking about something, I won't disturb you." Yue Ling said with a smile.
"Come over if I tell you to. Don't force us to do anything." The other young man was obviously not so good-tempered and spoke in a harsh tone.
Yue Ling's expression changed slightly. If she ran away now, outnumbered three by one, she might not be able to escape.
If we wait for Xu Shen to come over, maybe there is still some hope.
She smiled bitterly to herself and came to the meeting room.
Chen Qingyun naturally recognized Yue Ling, but he was a little confused. Why did this guy who was in charge of the Xu Secret Bureau come here? Usually, they didn't interfere with each other .
"What's your name?" asked a guard.
Yue Ling used a woman's ultimate move, a soft fake smile: "They all like to call me Yue'er."
"What a nice name." The middle-aged guard said with a smile: "Why don't you sit closer?"
"It's the same if I sit here." Yue Ling said tactfully, and moved closer to Chen Qingyun.
Chen Qingyun raised his eyebrows slightly without saying anything.
Two to three, the atmosphere in the conference room was somewhat quiet, but undercurrents were surging.
"It's been a quarter of an hour." Soon, the central guard said with narrowed eyes.
Chen Qingyun's face changed slightly, and he immediately picked up the phone: "Let me ask again..."
As soon as he picked up the communicator, a flash of lightning shot out and shattered the communicator in his hand.
At the same time, a whistling sound suddenly came rushing over.
