From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 205: Lure the Enemy into a Trap
The night is as dark as ink, and everything is silent.

The moonlight occasionally penetrates the clouds, casting mottled light and shadows, adding a bit of mystery to the quiet night.

Behind this tranquility, a carefully planned ambush is quietly taking place.

After guard captain You Zhanyu confessed, he sent a contact message to the White Eagle’s contact channel as requested.

The information indicated that he had left the Academy of Sciences, but his identity had been exposed, so he urgently needed to hand over the hard drive and asked Alex Austin to take him away from Daxia.

This information was analyzed by several staff officers to ensure that it could lure the enemy's spies into a trap without alerting the enemy.

The rendezvous point mentioned in the information is Ningta Bridge downstream of the Jingshui River.

The location was also carefully chosen.

This Ningta Bridge is not a main road, so there are not many vehicles and pedestrians in the early morning.

At the same time, you can choose to go by water or by land, and there are many ways to escape.

That way, Alex Austin wouldn't suspect it was a trap.

now.

Lu Heng was on the embankment of Jingshui River.

Su Muyu opened the invisible curtain, covering an area of ​​more than ten meters, covering the command team of this operation.

Besides.

Lieutenants Jian Qing, Zhuo Hongjun and others led a team of special-powered warriors, ambushing in various locations, ready to intercept at any time.

Guard captain You Zhanyu stood in front of his superior general with mixed feelings.

He was once a loyal and brave soldier, but now he is on the opposite side of the country.

His heart was filled with regret, but he had no choice.

What happened in the abyss battlefield left him with no chance to turn back, and he had no choice but to go down this path.

"Go ahead. Lead the enemy spy out and you'll have made up for your mistake." The commander gestured in the direction of the river beach and asked the guard beside him to untie the shackles on his hands.

You Zhanyu moved his wrist, turned to look at Lu Heng, showed a complicated smile, and said something strange: "Thank you."

Lu Heng frowned and asked, "Why are you thanking me? I caught you."

You Zhanyu looked up at the sky, exhaled, and said slowly: "When people still have a chance to survive, they will try every possible way to survive. Even if they are burdened with sin and regret, they will go all the way to the end.

“But I was tormented inside because I knew what I was doing and I didn’t want to do it, but I couldn’t turn back because I was a betrayer.

"Now my heart is very peaceful. Although I know what kind of judgment I will face, at least I don't have to continue suffering. Isn't this a kind of relief?

"Finally, I'll give you a piece of advice. Don't become a traitor to the Abyss. Don't have any fluke mentality. There's no turning back."

After he said that, he took the holster handed to him by the guard, hung it on his body, and walked towards the river bank.

……

In fact, Lu Heng didn't need him to remind him, and he knew that the betrayer mission was absolutely not to be done. It was the temptation of the abyss to those with special abilities.

Faced with a mysterious force that can devour countless worlds, it is impossible for a human to obtain the rewards of the betrayer's mission without degenerating into a minion of the abyss.

In his previous life, Lu Heng had seen too many people who could not resist temptation and became betrayers, and none of them had a good ending.

This is destined to be a road of no return.

……

You Zhanyu quickly ran to the riverbank, then looked around for someone to pick him up.

However, he ran hundreds of meters on the riverbank and looked everywhere, but he couldn't find anyone to pick him up.

He took out the hard drive, held it up and shouted, "Do you still want the data? I've been exposed. If you don't take me out of the country, the data inside will be buried with me!"

After he finished shouting, there was still no movement around.

He threw the hard drive to the ground, pulled out his pistol, aimed at the hard drive, and made a gesture as if he was going to shoot.

At this moment.

A dark figure in a cloak appeared on the riverbank, came to him very quickly, stretched out his hand and said in English: "Give it to me."

You Zhanyu picked up the hard drive, put the muzzle of the gun to it, and threatened: "Take me away, otherwise you will never get the hard drive."

"Follow me." The cloaked shadow waved, turned around and led the way.

You Zhanyu had no choice but to follow him.

On the riverbank, the command team saw how things had developed, and everyone had a solemn expression on their face.

The plan to lure the enemy did not develop as originally planned, but it cannot be said that the operation failed.

This strategy did indeed lure out the enemy's spies, but only one spy showed up, and he was an assassin-type psychic who was good at hiding.

There are quite a lot of perceivers here, so it shouldn't be a problem to catch this assassin-type psychic, but Alex Austin did not show up.

There is not much point in catching just one small minion.

The general in charge ordered the special warriors with stealth ability to follow, and the others stayed on standby to avoid alerting the enemy.

Su Muyu frowned and asked, "Should we follow?"

Lu Heng was also thinking about this question, wondering why Alex Austin didn't show up?
Alex Austin didn't show up. Did he know it was a trap?

Probably not. If they knew it was a trap, they wouldn’t have sent anyone here. Since they sent someone here, it means they didn’t realize it was a trap and they wanted to get the hard drive.

Therefore, this plan to lure the enemy did not fail.

Now the question is, how to find Alex Austin?

According to normal logic, this assassin-type psychic should take You Zhanyu to see Alex Austin.

But will it be that simple?

Lu Heng began to think from another perspective: if he were Alex Austin, what would he be doing now? Where would he be?
Think of this question.

Lu Heng raised his head and looked around. If it were him, he would definitely confirm whether this encounter was a trap before showing up.

How to confirm?

Of course, he had to be in a position where he could see the river beach, watching how things developed, while letting the assassin in the team take You Zhanyu away.

By changing positions and creating space, he observed whether there were ambushes behind You Zhanyu.

That is to say, if Alex Austin had the same idea, he should be in a place where he could see the river beach.

Moreover, Alex Austin would definitely arrange perceivers on the route where You Zhanyu was advancing to scout whether there were any ambushes behind him.

Thinking of this, Lu Heng said aloud: "Wait a minute, I think Alex Austin should be nearby. We can't send invisible warriors to follow You Zhanyu now, or we will be discovered by the enemy's perceivers."

The general in charge nodded in agreement and said, "That makes sense. Everyone, keep your troops in place. Send out sensory personnel to expand the search area. Explore all locations within three kilometers that can see the river beach. See if there are any enemy spies around."

The Perceivers and Hidden Ones worked together to explore the area within a radius of three kilometers.

The area of ​​three kilometers is actually very large. If every location needs to be explored, it will take a long time.

However, Alex Austin's team will definitely be where they can see the river beach, so the range is narrowed a lot.

Lu Heng took a map, spread it out and looked at it with Su Muyu, then picked out a few of the most likely locations and asked her to explore.

"Here, here, and here... Go take a look and see if there is anything."

"Okay." Su Muyu nodded, released the Chongming Bird, entered invisible state, and flew into the sky for reconnaissance.

Since her Double-Headed Bird has reached A-level, and has undergone two job enhancements, its true strength is already quasi-S-level.

Therefore, in terms of competition among perceivers, Su Muyu has no opponent at this stage.

As long as Alex Austin's team is in these positions, they will never escape detection.

……

Time passed by minute by minute.

Su Muyu explored the five most likely locations on the map, and even swooped down to get closer to confirm in case of any special concealment means.

After the investigation, she shook her head and reported, "Nothing was found. There is nothing suspicious in these five locations."

Lu Heng frowned and stared at the map. The five locations circled just now were the highest points within a three-kilometer radius and the best locations to observe the river beach.

"There's none?"

Lu Heng continued to stare at the map, looking at each landmark, and occasionally looking up to observe the corresponding locations on the map.

After looking up four or five times, every time my eyes passed across the surface of the Jingshui River, I would see a cruise ship drifting downstream.

Before, I always focused my attention on the high places around me. If I were on the Jingshui River, I could actually observe the river beach very well.

Lu Heng raised his hand and pointed at the cruise ship in the Jingshui River, and was about to speak.

At this moment.

Zhuo Hongjun's voice came from the communication channel: "Report to the commander, we have found an enemy spy on a cruise ship on the river. The second action team is applying for an attack!"

"Wait a moment, wait for other teams to surround us." The general in charge wanted to capture these spies more safely.

However, Zhuo Hongjun said very quickly: "It's too late. Our team is very close to the cruise ship. Sir, I am confident that I can take down Alex Austin. Please let me fight!"

Having said that.

More than a dozen assault rifles on the west bank of the river opened fire at the same time, firing at the cruise ship on the river.

The battle is about to break out.

Alex Austin jumped up, covered in thunder and lightning, lighting up the night sky in an instant. Then he rode the thunder towards the west shore, raised his thunder hammer and smashed it down.

Boom!

Thunder and lightning surged, striking the riverbank and causing rocks to fly everywhere.

The firepower of the Second Action Team was instantly silenced.

Zhuo Hongjun pulled out two bayonets and rushed forward to fight with Alex Austin.

In Alex Austin's team, in addition to the cloaked assassin who just appeared, there are three other psychics, namely the Flame Walker who controls fire, the Mechanic who controls mechanical puppets, and a psychic attacker.

When the cloaked assassin discovered that the battle had begun, he immediately turned around and knocked You Zhanyu down with one blow, snatched the hard drive, and then rushed to the river at an extremely fast speed to reunite with the team.

Alex Austin, with his four psychics, rushed to the west river beach and defeated the second action team.

Zhuo Hongjun originally wanted to take down Alex Austin with one blow, but after three moves, he realized that Alex Austin's fighting power was far beyond his expectations.
