Chapter 227 Someone is researching how to stimulate human superpowers
During their escape, the family was relentlessly pursued and soon captured by the warlord and imprisoned. Only the younger sister escaped with the help of her family, and her whereabouts have remained unknown ever since.
Within days, all of their family property was seized by the warlords, and their ailing mother died in prison not long afterward, without even being allowed to collect her body.
Soon the two brothers were conscripted and sent to the battlefield. They barely survived the war and even married local ethnic minority girls. Zhao Xinhui's brother was born in a beautiful little village.
They fought for years in a daze, not even knowing why they were fighting! The two brothers didn't want to be soldiers like that. In a failed battle, their unit was scattered, so they secretly ran back to their hometown to avenge their family.
After careful planning, they succeeded in assassinating the warlord who had harmed their family. With his downfall, his troops were either incorporated into the army or disbanded.
The two men decided to quit the army, secretly brought their wives and children to the area, and used their savings to buy two acres of land, hoping to live as ordinary people.
However, things didn't go as planned. In 1937, the Japanese invaders entered the pass, and the full-scale War of Resistance against Japan broke out.
Zhao Guoqiang and his brother organized villagers to resist the Japanese, and also joined the Communist Party. They led their troops to fight guerrilla warfare, killing many Japanese soldiers. Later, they were transferred to the southwest to guard the area during the Liberation War.
They loathed the years they had fought alongside warlords and never mentioned it again. The two brothers were cautious in their actions, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, they were registered as lower-middle peasants. Therefore, they were not troubled because of their class background during the major political movements.
After liberation, Zhao Guoqiang worked in the military in the southwest, gradually rising through the ranks. He continued searching for his sister after liberation, but they never imagined she would have gone to the north.
When Yuyao joined the army, he felt that she looked familiar. The child was about the same age as his sister when they were separated, and they looked three or four parts similar, but he didn't think about it.
Later, he discovered his sister's name in Yuyao's family history, and it turned out to be the child's maternal grandmother! He immediately asked his daughter to investigate, and only then did they recognize each other and finally find his sister's descendants.
In the army, no one except Qi Zhongliang knew about their kinship. But with these two watching over her, Yuyao was sure she wouldn't be bullied.
Yu Yao herself is also very outstanding. She often followed the soldiers into dangerous places and personally experienced how they protected their country and shed blood and sweat. Therefore, her reports are detailed and have a strong appeal.
"I know your capabilities, and I agree to this! Let Brigade Commander Qi explain the details to you. Be careful in everything you do, and I'll be waiting for your safe return!"
"I guarantee I'll complete the mission!" Tong Yuyao declared loudly.
Qi Zhongliang overheard their conversation and, knowing that the commander had agreed to let the sisters participate in the mission, immediately explained the details of the mission to her:
Recently, there have been frequent incidents of defense facilities being inexplicably destroyed in border areas, and some people are also sneaking into the country illegally.
They seemed to be hunting someone down. We rescued one of the people being hunted, but he was seriously injured and unconscious and is currently receiving treatment in the hospital.
Those people were incredibly audacious; they actually infiltrated the hospital to assassinate the injured person and silence him!
We sent a platoon of soldiers to track down the assassins, but the soldiers disappeared after they arrived. So we prepared to send another team of special forces, and at that moment, Tong Yuyao, who was in charge of propaganda, volunteered to participate.
Because she won the championship in the military region's skills competition, she's definitely a martial arts master. With her participating in the mission, the safety and success rate are much higher.
Brigade Commander Qi approved her participation as a war correspondent, which would also allow her to provide real-time coverage of the operation, killing two birds with one stone.
They suspect that mercenaries have infiltrated our country to cause trouble. Those people are lawless, and many of them are desperate criminals who will do anything for money.
The special forces team is skilled in jungle warfare, so they should be able to capture them quickly and find out who they are looking for and what they are doing.
So the eleven-person team set off, with Yuyao carrying some professional photography equipment.
Tong Yuheng's prediction was correct. When Yuyao and her team arrived at the border, they staked out a fortified area with defensive facilities and indeed discovered a group of people dressed as mercenaries who had infiltrated the border.
They seemed to be tracking someone! Tong Yuheng immediately decided to follow them to find news of Yuyao and her team of soldiers...
~
At this moment, Tong Yuyao was like a wild man, hiding and dodging in the jungle, just to escape the attack of that superhuman with incredible speed.
She had lost all her equipment, and her camouflage uniform was tattered, but she was clutching a small bottle filled with blue liquid tightly in her hand.
She brought this with her when she escaped that sinister experimental facility. She was determined to bring it back and report the shocking secret they had discovered!
The story begins a few days ago:
Ever since Tong Yuyao learned that someone had broken through multiple layers of protection, killed someone in the hospital, and escaped, she realized that it was probably done by someone with high martial arts skills or special abilities.
She signed up for the reconnaissance team because she was confident in her martial arts skills. With her strength as a Martial Grandmaster, she generally wouldn't encounter any danger.
But she did not expect that the situation they encountered this time was not ordinary at all, because there were superhumans involved in the enemy team!
"Superpowered individuals" is a term used to refer to people who possess certain supernatural abilities; currently, they remain an extremely mysterious group.
It is said that people abroad have been researching how to stimulate human superpowers for a long time, and have even begun to study altering or fusing different genes to create superpowered individuals.
We oppose this, and most of the world agrees, viewing it as anti-natural and anti-human.
Some people are born with or suddenly develop certain special abilities. The state will recruit them into special departments and guide them to use these abilities correctly.
We also have such departments that manage individuals with supernatural abilities, allowing them to protect the country and benefit the people—such as the mysterious Bureau 749. For ordinary people, this department and its members are legendary figures.
Yuyao and her team's mission was mainly to search for and rescue the missing previous group of people, and at the same time to find out what the purpose of the armed men entering the country was in frequently infiltrating our border.
They soon discovered the markings left by the previous group, which disappeared near the border. Searching the area, they quickly spotted a small group of well-equipped mercenaries crossing the border.
This was something we had to capture! So the two sides engaged in a fierce battle. Our soldiers initially had the upper hand, fighting them in close combat, and the other side couldn't gain any advantage.
At this moment, a wind-type ability user appeared on the other side. He could make the air flow rapidly to form wind blades, which quickly injured our warriors!
