Chapter 387: Turns Out the Joker Was Me?
The thousands of stars and moonlight that originally filled the first half of the night were blocked by drifting clouds in the second half of the night.
On a mountaintop outside the county, two people dressed in black night suits were opening up black, specially-made paragliders.
Apart from the noise of the two people setting up the paragliders, the surroundings were filled only with countless insect sounds.
These insect sounds were particularly pleasant and melodious to their ears.
If at any moment the insect sounds stopped, they would not hesitate to leave the mountaintop with the paragliders.
Everything was ready, and the two sat on rocks, merging completely into the darkness.
"Want a smoke?"
"No need, I suggest you best not smoke either, just toss it away."
"Ah, such bad luck!"
Speaking of bad luck, the speaker’s body was quite honest, casually tossing away two wrinkled cigarettes.
Originally thinking there would be no chance later, they wanted to have a smoke before leaving.
But considering the lingering smell could expose them prematurely, they casually tossed it away.
As for whether the discarded cigarettes would be noticed, does that matter anymore?
After all, they’re already dead.
Suddenly, the communication device on the ground rang.
"Some idiots have already moved, make your preparations."
"Good luck to you."
On the mountaintop, the two in black exchanged a glance, put on windproof goggles, and set up their paragliders.
In room 703 of the hotel, a person in the dark was closely watching any movements in the direction of the Candy Technology Laboratory Building.
In this person’s hand was a communication device identical to the one on the mountaintop.
Without using the internet, even the ruler of the internet world, Zero, wouldn’t be able to find out.
In the bedroom, woken up by Zero, Mo Jingchun sat at the computer in his pajamas.
Meanwhile, the little one in the bedroom was comfortably asleep, clutching Mo Jingchun’s pillow.
From the moment someone crossed the wall and rushed into Candy Technology Park, the monitoring center of the Armed Police Hall sounded an alarm.
Wang Bing, who had long been waiting, glanced at the weapon beside him, feeling more at ease.
"All units, prepare for combat!"
At the same time, under Zero’s control, all building doors inside Candy Technology Park were closed.
Within less than ten seconds, the first people to enter the park rushed to the laboratory building’s entrance.
biu～
biu～
biu～
...
Both sides had silenced guns and were shooting madly.
Inside the president’s office, two sharpshooters from Mo Jingchun’s bodyguard team were aiming their rifles at the enemy.
"Left one, left two."
"Understood."
Four dull sounds came from the office, and four people in the group rushing towards the laboratory building fell to the ground.
Without exception, all were shot in the head.
"Wow, not bad, my skills haven’t rusted."
After firing two shots and squatting down, Hawkeye chuckled and said:
"Rust? Impossible, I’m a naturally gifted sniper."
On the other side, when four silent companions were headshotted, they weren’t stupid; they knew there must be snipers lurking.
"There’s a sniper, speed up the rush."
Hawkeye and the sharpshooter exchanged a glance, quickly stood up again, and took aim to shoot.
After firing, they quickly retreated.
"Let’s go, to the next sniper point."
Watching this unfold through the monitors, Mo Jingchun’s heart raced.
In less than two minutes, more than a dozen people were already lying outside the laboratory building.
As time went by, Mo Jingchun was gradually numbed.
This group of people was like ancient warriors, unafraid of death.
Knowing there were snipers hiding, they didn’t retreat at all.
For the first time, Mo Jingchun truly realized the importance of the graphene battery.
Or rather, the importance of energy to a country.
In any small country, Mo Jingchun believed that the graphene battery technology would trigger wars, or even the destruction of a nation.
This is definitely not alarmism; even in times of peace, history could be witnessed.
Suddenly, Zero exclaimed:
"Boss, I seem to have discovered something incredible."
The computer screen turned into black and white.
On the enlarged surveillance footage, two moving red dots appeared.
Mo Jingchun raised an eyebrow and asked:
"What is this?"
The footage continued to zoom in, and Mo Jingchun clearly saw that the red dots were people!
Mo Jingchun said in shock: "Wow, someone’s attempting an air raid?"
"Inform Wild Wolf to be aware of the airspace."
He was not afraid if their target was the laboratory building’s rooftop, but feared if their target was the top of the office building.
As the saying goes, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Being cautious is not a mistake.
"Okay, boss."
A few minutes later, watching the two paragliders landing on the laboratory building rooftop through the monitors, Mo Jingchun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The footage switched, and Mo Jingchun’s lip curled as he saw the two black-clad intruders.
These two guys, do they think it’s ancient times?
Don’t they know modern cameras come with infrared sensors?
Moreover, these cameras have thermal imaging.
The two intruders were fortunate that Hawkeye and the sharpshooter’s attention was on the lower floors, and due to the rooftop’s darkness, they weren’t discovered.
Spotting the ventilation duct, the two hesitated not a bit, swiftly kicking open the duct with lightning speed.
"Let’s go!"
Just as the second person entered, with a "bang," both intruders felt a chill in their hearts.
Hesitating for only a second, the intruders continued downwards.
Long knowing there was no way back, wasn’t it?
The next moment, a scream from below startled the person behind.
Even with strong nerves, at this moment their hands and feet went soft, nearly failing to hold on, almost falling straight down.
"There’s a trap..."
The words weren’t finished before the voice ceased.
The next second, a panel extended from underfoot, the body went limp.
Before fainting, the intruder’s only thought was that the gas was toxic.
In the office, Mo Jingchun rubbed his nose and smiled awkwardly:
"Who would be so dumb to leave such an important lab’s ventilation duct on the rooftop?"
"And not think, why didn’t those attacking from the front come from the rooftop."
"Sigh, still inexperienced indeed."
The attack came swiftly and left swiftly.
After some probing attacks, realizing a frontal assault was impossible, silence ensued.
However, the armed police stationed inside the laboratory building didn’t let their guard down for a second.
It wasn’t until the helicopter sounds came from the sky and the strong lights sought targets outside Candy Technology Park.
Seeing the soldiers in camouflage, Wang Bing and the other armed police finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing the beaming Qin Yuzhu, Mo Jingchun said with a resentful face:
"Isn’t everyone just a fool?"
"Hahaha, it’s because of concern, to let you sleep peacefully."
Mo Jingchun rolled his eyes, saying: "It’s good you’re here, just as I didn’t know how to handle the scene."
