Chapter 91 The Road Home
At the same time, within the Dragon Kingdom.
At the Central Military Commission Command Center, General Liu Zhenguo received the latest report from the intelligence department.
"Sir, Country M has put pressure on Black Song, demanding assistance in intercepting them. The Black Song government has increased checkpoints at major entry points and has also deployed troops to assist."
Liu Zhenguo frowned: "Do Lin Zhe and the others know?"
"They probably don't know yet. Their communications are based on scheduled reports, and the next report won't be for another three hours."
"Notify them immediately," Liu Zhenguo ordered. "Use the highest-level emergency communication channel to inform them of the situation. Also, have our people in Heige prepare to provide support if necessary."
"yes!"
Fifty kilometers north of the border with Hegemony, there is an abandoned gas station.
As soon as Lin Zhe and Long Yan stopped their motorcycles to rest, the encrypted communicators on their wrists vibrated—it was an emergency call.
After listening to the briefing, Lin Zhe's expression turned serious.
"What's wrong?" Longyan asked.
"Country M anticipated we would travel through Heilongjiang and has already laid a trap here. The Heilongjiang government is also cooperating with them, setting up checkpoints at the border crossings," Lin Zhe said. "Our previous plan may not work."
"What should we do then?"
After thinking for a few minutes, Lin Zhe made a decision: "Notify all groups to cancel their scattered operations and reconvene at the designated location. Since they want to intercept us, let them see what it means for all eight members of the Hidden Dragon to be deployed together."
"Meeting point?"
"Here." Lin Zhe pointed to a spot on the map, a remote area on the border with no checkpoints, only a simple barbed wire fence.
"Break through here by force. The interception on the Black Song side is only eight members of the Qianlong team together. Not to mention the Black Song army, even if the regular army of the United States came, they couldn't stop us."
"Awesome!" Longyan laughed. "Let's do it!"
The encrypted communication was quickly relayed to each group. The four groups adjusted their direction and headed towards the rendezvous point.
Late at night on the fourth day, somewhere on the border.
Eight figures converged in the darkness. Each of them looked travel-worn, but their eyes remained sharp.
"Everyone's here?" Lin Zhe looked around.
"arrive!"
"Check the equipment."
The eight men quickly checked their weapons and equipment. This time they didn't hide anything—assault rifles, pistols, grenades, explosive devices, night vision goggles… they took them all out.
Two hundred meters ahead was the border barbed wire fence. On the other side of the fence, several military vehicles and tents could be vaguely seen—those were temporary checkpoints of the Black Song army.
"According to intelligence, the enemy has a platoon of soldiers, about thirty men," Lin Zhe said. "Our objective is not to annihilate them, but to break through. Therefore, we must act quickly and decisively, and avoid prolonged battles."
"clear."
"Dragon Fang and Dragon Claw, you two flank from the left, create a disturbance to draw their attention. Dragon Shadow and Dragon Thorn, you infiltrate from the right and take out the sentries first. Dragon Sun and Dragon Flame, you're in charge of electronic jamming, cut off their communications. Dragon Eye, you come with me and break through from the front."
"action!"
The eight people dispersed like ghosts.
Dragon Fang and Dragon Claw created a "car accident" on the left side—they used a remote control to detonate an abandoned car, sending flames soaring into the sky.
As expected, the Black Song army was drawn in, and most of them moved to the left.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Dragon Shadow and Dragon Thorn sneaked in from the right. They approached the sentries like shadows and silently took down two of them.
Long Qing activated the electronic jamming equipment, and the radio communication at the checkpoint was instantly interrupted.
"Now!" Lin Zhe ordered.
Eight people acted simultaneously. They rushed to the barbed wire fence, and Longan quickly cut a gap in it with a special cutter. The eight men filed in and headed straight for the checkpoint.
The Black Song soldiers finally realized what was happening, but it was too late.
Lin Zhe and his eight men didn't bother with them at all—they threw smoke grenades to create chaos, then sped through the checkpoint. The whole process took less than three minutes, and by the time the Black Song soldiers could mount an effective resistance, the eight men had already disappeared into the darkness on the other side of the border.
"Chase them! Chase them now!" the Black Song officer shouted in exasperation.
But it was too late to catch up. After entering Black Song territory, Lin Zhe and his eight companions immediately dispersed and disappeared into the complex terrain.
Black Song City, a hotel room.
The eight people washed away their fatigue, changed into clean clothes, and sat in the room watching TV.
News reports are covering the border incident: "Last night, an armed conflict broke out at the Abu Dhabi-Cambodia border, with a suspected drug cartel attempting to force their way through. Abu Dhabi military killed three and captured two, but several others escaped..."
"Three killed? Two captured?" Longya sneered. "They haven't even caught a glimpse of us, and they're already bragging."
"Let them brag," Lin Zhe said. "However, we should remember the debt we owe Hei Ge for cooperating with the US to intercept us this time."
"What do you want to do?" Long Qing asked.
Lin Zhe laughed: "When have we, Qianlong, ever suffered a loss? If they dare to stop us, they should be prepared for retaliation."
Over the next two days, a series of "unexpected" events occurred in Heige.
A sudden failure at a critical node of the State Grid caused a six-hour power outage across a large area of the capital city of Heilongjiang.
The General Administration of Customs' database was hacked, and a large number of import and export records were tampered with, causing serious chaos.
A military weapons depot caught fire "accidentally," resulting in the loss of a batch of weapons and equipment.
The most serious incident was that the presidential palace's security system was breached and the president's personal computer was hacked. Although no real damage was caused, it gave the president quite a fright.
No evidence was left behind in any of the incidents, but anyone with eyes could tell who did it.
The Black Song government panicked. They had only symbolically cooperated under pressure from M, but they hadn't expected it to cause such a huge problem.
On the third day, the Foreign Minister of Heige sent a message to the Dragon Kingdom through secret channels: "Heige deeply regrets the recent unpleasant incidents. Heige cherishes its friendly relations with the Dragon Kingdom..."
The words were left unsaid, but the meaning was clear—we were wrong, please forgive us.
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded in a very official manner: "We hope that Heige will truly respect China's core interests and refrain from doing anything that would harm bilateral relations."
The subtext is—this time we'll let it slide, but if you dare to do it again, the consequences will be even more severe.
One week later, in a South American country, on a special plane bound for China.
Lin Zhe and his group of eight finally embarked on their journey home. The special plane was arranged by the intelligence department of the Dragon Kingdom, and the route was carefully planned to avoid all airspace that could be monitored.
Inside the cabin, all eight people were very relaxed.
"Finally, I can go home." Dragon Claw leaned back in his seat. "It's been almost two months since I left, hasn't it?"
"Sixty-eight days," Long Ying accurately reported.
"The first thing I want to do when I get back is eat hot pot!" Longya said, "Extra spicy hot pot!"
"I need to sleep for three days and three nights," Longan yawned.
Lin Zhe looked at the sea of clouds outside the porthole and a smile appeared on his lips.
The mission was accomplished, and everyone returned safely. This operation not only yielded cutting-edge technological data from Country M, but more importantly, it demonstrated Qianlong's strength and determination to the world.
From now on, any country should think twice before acting against the Dragon Kingdom.
Because they know that in the Dragon Kingdom there is a sword called Hidden Dragon. This sword can appear in any corner of the world, can accomplish impossible tasks, and can deliver a devastating blow to any challenger.
