In the name of supernatural powers

Chapter 22 The situation has changed
night.

The lights in the task force's office remained on. The members were getting sleepy, but no one dared to leave before Lin Zhiyan did.

Lin Zhiyan is preparing for tomorrow's joint operation.

The operation was codenamed "Thunder 021," and there were 20 similar operations launched in various parts of the South China Sea before it.

Their encirclement and suppression operation was not very dangerous; there were only two enemies, and they couldn't cause much trouble.

However, it is important to be aware that the Green bandits may resort to desperate measures, resulting in casualties among ordinary citizens.

This is the most difficult aspect of maintaining order; protecting the safety of the people and their property is the top priority, rather than killing the criminals. Often, the government hesitates to act for fear of harming the criminals, allowing them to escape.

The assistant presented two documents on the table and said, "These are the newly compiled files on the Green Bandits. One of them is named Shan Yong, an intelligence agent for the Green Bandits, and a Level 3 wanted criminal. His life force development is between 20 and 30, and he possesses earth-elemental supernatural abilities, including the ability to burrow underground."

"A man named Lao Gao, a combatant from the Green Forest, a second-level wanted criminal. His life force development is between thirty and fifty years old. He has metal supernatural powers and can control twisted metal. Firearms are ineffective against him."

"According to the records, they left China in 38 and hid in the Miye Sanjiang area. This time they risked their lives to come back to help the fugitives."

The assistant paused for a moment, then took out another document from the folder and presented it to the assistant.

“As a front-line commander, Platoon Leader Lu is very familiar with the situation at the outpost. We may be engaging in combat with Miye Sanjiang later, and he can serve as our temporary advisor.”

"His abilities are outstanding, and he is irreplaceable in the Ant Ridge area."

Yesterday, Zhang Like found his assistant, who is also the deputy head of the task force.

Although these deputies did not have decision-making power, they were responsible for the specific implementation and deployment of the tasks.

After seeing Lu Zhao's detailed information, the deputy head of the task force decided to bring him into the team without Zhang Like offering any benefits.

Because he has the ability.

As long as Lu Zhao plays a role in this operation, he will also receive extra points in the year-end review.

The task force's work essentially involved going to local areas and using higher-level authority to select key personnel.

Lin Zhiyan glanced at it and nodded slightly, saying, "I will accept it when he comes later."

The deputy team leader breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this eldest daughter of the Lin family has a bit of a temper, at least she's very practical. Unlike some of the older leaders, who have little ability and terrible tempers.

At 10 p.m., Lin Zhiyan finished all his work, twisted his wrist, leaned back in his chair and said casually, "Let him in."

"..."

The assistant did not answer, his expression somewhat stiff and awkward.

"Team Leader Lin, Platoon Leader Lu hasn't arrived yet."

Lin Zhiyan frowned, but considering his abilities and resume, she didn't react and said, "I'll only wait for him for an hour."

At midnight, Lin Zhiyan slammed the door and stormed out, heading to find Lu Zhao in a fit of rage, but was eventually stopped by his assistant.

6 month 3 day.

The task force, in conjunction with the Ant Ridge Border Armed Police Force, the Fangnancheng Traffic Police Brigade, and the Cyber ​​Security Bureau, launched an operation to apprehend the mobile terrorists.

As the morning sun peeked out, fifty people from the border post gathered in the open space at the entrance, all armed and ready to go.

Lu Zhao leaned against the window of the fifth-floor corridor of the dormitory building, gazing at the neat formation, and could vaguely hear Zhang Like giving a pre-battle pep talk.

Zhang Like had already given him the opportunity last night.

The plan consists of three parts: raid, intelligence gathering, and blockade.

The raids were conducted by the city's special rapid response team, also known as the Special Countermeasures Team. Intelligence was handled by the cyber police and traffic police, while the blockade was carried out at the border checkpoints.

Some people guarded the passage leading to Miye Sanjiang, while others assisted the special agents in carrying out blockade and vigilance.

Overall, the danger wasn't high; Liu Qiang was even dragged in to gain experience. "Let's go!"

As Zhang Like's voice fell, everyone got into the vehicles, and the vehicles drove out of the camp amidst the roar of the engines.

Lu Zhao turned around and went back to his room, where he sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and began to cultivate his spirit and nourish his energy.

The lockdown gave him a three-day leave, and as a person without official duties, Lu Zhao could not continue patrolling the mountain and interfere with official business.

If we haven't caught it by three days, the holiday can be extended.

My free time was perfect for practicing the techniques taught by the old Taoist priest.

Last night I learned from the other party that both the methods of refining the spirit and refining the qi can be improved, and as long as you persevere, you will always reap the rewards.

As for what he had learned, the old Taoist priest, as always, smiled without saying a word, and instead continued to chat with him about history.

The old Taoist priest was very interested in things after the Ming Dynasty, but Lu Zhao, on the contrary, preferred to discuss things from the Ming Dynasty.

The closer history gets, the more mysteries there are; what he knows is mostly the written word and historical accounts.

Unifying China after a century of conflict, from a corner of the country to a nation paying tribute to all nations. The founders of the Federation did not rely on benevolence, righteousness, propriety, knowledge, and trustworthiness, but rather on a series of wars to re-establish the tributary system.

Before I was thirteen, society believed in the unity of the East and the equality of all people.

The Han Chinese of the Central Plains and the foreign tribes outside the borders are all like brothers and sisters.

When the catastrophe struck, the Federation initially accepted refugees, but later, realizing that a counterattack was hopeless, it ceased to uphold its promise of equality.

The distinction between Chinese and barbarians is hierarchical, with different classes and social strata.

The distinction between races is not written into law, but the federal household registration only lists the Chinese ethnic group.

These were all suppressed by propaganda, and Lu Zhao, as a witness to the era, felt them particularly clearly.

Many things cannot be discussed openly.

The affairs of the Han and Tang dynasties were only clarified in the Ming dynasty, but the affairs of the Zhu Ming dynasty are still not finished to this day.

As outstanding students of the capital city, the political lessons taught by the university clearly pointed out that...

The current Federation is different from the one before the Great Cataclysm; they are now the Second Federation, an empire without an emperor.

When they come to govern a region, they must remember that the glory of the empire does not need to shine on foreign vassals.

China's productivity is insufficient to maintain equality for so many people.

The current system was developed through internal struggles more than a decade ago. It is not the best, but it is the most stable and feasible.

Fangnancheng, Ning County.

At 18:00, the sun sets.

Zhang Like sat inside a light passenger vehicle, also known as the South China Sea troop transport vehicle. The vehicle was filled with heavily armed border guards, whose average life points reached twenty.

This is the most elite force of the border station, and they need to cooperate with the special counter-terrorism team to engage in direct firefights with the criminals.

Only seven of them possessed supernatural powers, and they were all of a weak level, meaning they did not possess any supernatural powers that could kill directly or indirectly.

Supernatural abilities are not uncommon; some people possess innate supernatural powers and are called prodigies. Throughout history, many historical figures have also been born with supernatural abilities, and these abilities are still being passed down to this day.

However, since the level of one's abilities can drop after being passed down, supernatural powers above the average level are not universal.

Even the city's special rapid response force can only guarantee one powerful supernatural being in each team.

Zhang Like glanced at the time; it was 10 a.m., two hours before the operation.

"Captain Zhang, the situation has changed. I need you to be assigned to the assault team."
