The Tokusatsu Era: Starting with Orphnoch

Chapter 222 Infiltration!!



Chapter 222 Infiltration!!

"Whoosh! Whoosh!!" The piercing alarm shattered the silent night sky of the wasteland, and the red and blue police lights flashed continuously in the darkness, as if trying to completely illuminate this barren land.

Several patrol vehicles and armored vehicles belonging to the Special Operations Bureau were neatly parked on the wasteland, lying there silently like steel behemoths.

As the inspection team quickly arrived at their posts, rows of yellow warning lines were set up, forming closed areas and tightly protecting the scene.

Zhu Shitao stood in the center of the chaotic battlefield, his brows furrowed and his eyes revealing a deep sense of helplessness.

Shaking his head and sighing, he muttered to himself, "I'm late again. Sigh... It's always like this. I'm always just a little bit short."

At this moment, Hong Tao's voice came through the earpiece: "Shi Tao, search the surrounding area carefully again. If there are no other abnormalities, then withdraw. We can leave this to the Special Affairs Bureau."

Upon hearing Hong Tao's instructions, Zhu Shitao responded and then strode towards the places that clearly showed signs of a fierce battle.

He crouched down and carefully observed every detail on the ground, not missing any clues.

After a long while, Zhu Shitao slowly stood up and shook his head again.

Then, he looked up and glanced around at the Special Affairs Bureau personnel who were busy working, thinking to himself, "It seems there really aren't any more valuable clues here."

Then he turned and walked toward his car.

Zhu Shitao opened the car door, got into the driver's seat, started the engine, and drove slowly away from the wasteland.

The wheels kicked up a cloud of dust and quickly disappeared into the vast night.

However, Zhu Shitao was unaware that shortly after he left, a staff member from the Special Affairs Bureau had been silently watching his departing figure.

After Zhu Shitao had completely disappeared from sight, the staff member lowered his voice and whispered into the miniature communicator in his collar, "The target has left the scene. It is currently uncertain whether the other party has noticed any suspicious signs. Request the next steps!"

.................................................. .....

As the first rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds and gently bathed the earth, the entire wasteland was shrouded in a warm, golden glow.

After a night of intense and well-organized investigation, the situation of this desolate land has become largely clear. The staff of the Special Affairs Bureau have also successfully completed their mission and embarked on their journey home, gradually disappearing into the distance.

Now, only a few patrol officers remain at their posts, vigilantly watching the surroundings.

Just then, a slight sound broke the tranquility of the wasteland.

On a steep hillside not far from the wasteland, the once solid ground suddenly began to tremble slightly, as if something was about to burst forth from the earth.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by several low "shush! shush! shush!" sounds, a slightly disheveled figure suddenly rushed out from the bottom of the slope and fell heavily to the ground.

This man was Wudao, who was covered in dust and kept cursing, "Bah! This deal was really close to disaster, I almost lost everything!"

"Luckily, my defense is maxed out, otherwise I would have been defeated by that brat!" As he spoke, he spat out the sand left in his mouth, then raised his hand and slapped his tattered military uniform with disgust.

"Sigh... this uniform is completely ruined. I'll have to get a new one."

"I've been changing outfits way too often lately. I really hope my boss doesn't dock my pay because of this!"

"Otherwise, we'll be starving next month." Wudao shook his head helplessly, sighed, and then turned around without hesitation and strode away from the steep slope, disappearing into the vast wilderness in the blink of an eye.

Harbin.

Special Affairs Bureau Building.

Director's Office.

"Director Li! I simply cannot understand! The Kaixa belt has been kept safe and sound in Harbin all along, so why is it suddenly being handed over to those guys in the military? What's the basis for this?!"

Director Zhong roared in uncontrollable rage, his furious voice echoing throughout the office like thunder, causing the windowpanes to tremble slightly.

"Guanghua! Actually, I feel the same way you do; I find this order inexplicable and hard to accept."

"But there's nothing we can do. It was personally signed and issued by the cabinet, so we have no right to question or refuse to implement it!" Li Weimin, the director of the General Bureau, who was far away in the capital, responded with the same sense of helplessness.

Despite his many grievances and questions, he had no choice but to obey the strong orders from the cabinet.

Upon hearing this, Director Zhong took a deep breath, trying to calm his excited emotions. After a long while, he slowly said, "Hoo... Alright, Director Li, in that case, I understand. I will resolutely support and carry out the cabinet's orders."

"However, please grant me a few more days. I will arrange for Zhao Kai to personally escort Kaixa's belt to the capital."

Although Director Zhong had managed to control his emotions, his words still betrayed a hint of resentment and unwillingness.

After all, this Kaixa belt was of great significance to their Harbin Special Operations Bureau, and now they had to give it away. Anyone would feel bad about it.

Meanwhile, Li Weimin was well aware of the turmoil in Zhong Guanghua's heart at that moment.

He knew the other party needed time to process this sudden turn of events. So, he replied briefly, "Okay, then let's do it your way. Report to me immediately if anything happens." He then quickly hung up the phone to avoid further agitating Zhong Guanghua's already unstable emotions.

After the call ended, Director Zhong slammed his fist on his desk, gritting his teeth and cursing, "Hmph! Those so-called big shots at the top only know how to scheme and fight each other all day long! They completely disregard the lives of those below them. If things continue like this, this country will be doomed sooner or later!"

After venting his frustrations, Director Zhong calmed down and thought of a solution.

Kaixa's belt was definitely not going to stay with the Harbin Special Bureau, but he didn't want to just hand it over to the military. He had previously learned through internal connections that there were problems within the Ming Dynasty's military.

Since the Orphnoch King incident, certain groups within the military have begun to emerge frequently, and some of the doves have started to waver, which is clearly problematic.

He now has reason to suspect that Worms have infiltrated the upper echelons of humanity!

However, he has no evidence at the moment, and speaking out rashly might alert the enemy.

Thinking about it, Director Zhong picked up his personal cell phone.
