Martial Arts Godhood: At the Start, Rebels Asked Me to Be an Undercover Agent

After leaving Wen Lujia's office, Zhuge Hong ran straight to Gong Rui and grabbed him by the collar.

"Gong Rui, what the hell did you mean just now?"

"What do you mean? I've already made myself perfectly clear. It's pointless for you to take this credit. You might as well give it to our group."

"I stole your mother! She's the first person our team found, you son of a bitch..."

"Zhuge Hong!"

Just as Zhuge Hong was about to make his move, Xu Liyan stopped him.

"Boss."

"Let go, is this the time to argue?"

"But……"

Just then, Wen Lujia arrived at the door.

"You all ignored what I just said, didn't you?"

The voice wasn't loud, but it immediately calmed the tense atmosphere.

"I can let things slide normally, but if they get away this time, I'll show them what I'm made of."

Zhuge Hong loosened Gong Rui's collar, nodded respectfully to Wen Lujia, and then walked towards the workstation of Group Three.

The others also returned to their workstations to prepare.

Xiao Wang returned to his workstation, picked up his dagger and walkie-talkie, hesitated for a moment, and decided not to wear the bulletproof vest after all.

It's too heavy, which affects my speed and agility.

Moreover, I have damage conversion beads, so as long as it's not a one-hit kill, it's not a big problem.

He looked at the color of the bead in his mind; it was red, indicating that he hadn't had time to refine the damage from the previous life-or-death situation.

But that should be enough.

With so many people making arrests, they can't just target me and kill me, can they?

As Xiao Wang was packing up, Zhuge Hong came over and instructed, "Youngest brother, put on your bulletproof vest. This Qi Zhenghao is no joke; he's a martial artist with gene-enhanced abilities and his marksmanship is also quite good."

"Deputy team leader, wearing a bulletproof vest will affect my performance."

"I almost forgot, you're a martial artist too. Alright, you don't need to wear it. Just be careful when we're arresting you later."

"clear."

After the group finished packing and joined the other members, they went downstairs, boarded a cargo troop carrier, and headed towards their target location following Wan Dachuan's directions.

It was already afternoon, and the sun would soon set.

A dozen or so people sat in the car, fully armed.

However, to avoid alerting the enemy, they did not wear uniforms and changed into civilian clothes.

Xu Liyan looked at everyone and said, "It's almost dark, and the underground factory in the inner city will be closing soon. There will be many civilians at that time, and to make the arrests, we should try to avoid them as much as possible. Ideally, we should do it before closing time, but that's impossible. So, I think we should postpone it until after nightfall. What do you think?"

Zhuge Hong nodded in agreement, while Xiao Wang listened attentively without offering any comments.

He came here to learn.

The rest of the group looked at Gong Rui, waiting for him to make a statement.

"Team Leader Gong, what do you think?" Xu Liyan asked Gong Rui.

Although Gong Rui disapproved of Zhuge Hong and others' behavior, he agreed with Xu Liyan's idea. After all, if it resulted in a large number of casualties or Qi Zhenghao escaped, it would be a loss.

"agree."

"Okay, once we get to the location, we'll take up advantageous positions and cut off escape routes. Once it gets dark and fewer people are around, we'll take action immediately. Now, we'll all switch the walkie-talkies to band '4'."

After they finished speaking, everyone took out their walkie-talkies and tuned the frequency to band '4'.

Xiao Wang followed the example of the people around him and adjusted his walkie-talkie to frequency band 4.

"Xiao Wang, you'll be with me from now on," Xu Liyan said to Xiao Wang.

"Yes, team leader."

The vehicle bumped along slowly, the afterglow of the setting sun shining on the rooftops, casting a golden glow.

The glass covers of the spotlights on the inner city wall occasionally emitted dazzling starlight under the reflection of the sunlight.

After driving through more than a dozen blocks, the vehicle stopped at a rather secluded street corner.

Wan Dachuan got out of the driver's seat and walked to the back of the truck bed. "Boss, the neighborhood where Qi Zhenghao is is just around the corner. To be on the safe side, we'll get off here."

"it is good."

Xu Liyan and Gong Rui got off the car with their respective men and, guided by Zhuge Hong and Wan Dachuan, located Qi Zhenghao's position.

Based on his previous observations, Zhuge Hong identified five of the easiest escape routes.

"Alright, we'll split into five groups, each guarding its own area. Once the time is right, we'll converge and encircle them. Note: you can kill them if necessary."

After analyzing the situation, Xu Liyan quickly arranged the personnel deployment, while he himself took Xiao Wang to a designated location.

Upon arriving at the location, Xiao Wang observed the route. It was a narrow alley, about a meter wide, and it didn't seem too difficult to defend it.

All they had to do was lie in ambush at the alley entrance, and once Qi Zhenghao entered, they would immediately open fire, leaving him with no chance of escape.

This is precisely why Xu Liyan only brought Xiao Wang with him.

It can be described as a situation where one man can hold off ten thousand.

The sky gradually darkened.

Workers leaving the underground factory in the inner city gradually emerged from the underground passages at the base of the inner city wall, and as the last rays of the setting sun shone, the crowds dispersed into the streets.

As the crowd dispersed, the sky grew increasingly dark.

The searchlights on the inner city wall began to swing back and forth again.

Xiao Wang and Xu Liyan disappeared into the shadows.

Xu Liyan turned on his walkie-talkie and tested it. "This is Xu Liyan, a call test. Can you hear me?"

Soon after, four more replies came through the walkie-talkie.

"I can hear it."

After confirming that the test was successful, Xu Liyan put away the walkie-talkie, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and lit one.

"Want to smoke?"

Xiao Wang: "I don't smoke, thank you."

Xu Liyan lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.

The lit cigarette shone brightly in the shadows, as if it had burned a hole in the night, and as the smoke slowly died down, the hole seemed to repair itself.

Xiao Wang stared at the flickering sparks, glancing into the alley every now and then, afraid that Qi Zhenghao might suddenly appear there.

"Don't be so nervous, the more nervous you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes."

"Yes."

"Stand behind me later, and don't rush around recklessly, okay?"

"clear."

As night deepened, fewer and fewer people appeared on the streets, until finally, there were almost no pedestrians to be seen.

Xu Liyan knew it was almost time, so he threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stubbed it out with his toe, took out his pistol, cocked it, released the safety, and then picked up the walkie-talkie.

"Is anything unusual?"

The four responses came in succession.

"No abnormalities found."

"action."

With Xu Liyan's command, the five routes slowly began to converge on the center point.

Xu Liyan held up his pistol and moved forward cautiously and slowly.

Xiao Wang followed behind him, about a meter away, with the dagger already in his hand.

The tense atmosphere immediately intensified.

The two moved quietly, trying not to make any noise.

Xiao Wang followed closely behind, glancing back every now and then.

The feeling of being alone behind him always gave him a sense of insecurity.

Just as the two reached the halfway point of the alley, gunshots suddenly rang out from ahead.

Bang bang bang!

Then a staff member's voice came through the walkie-talkie.

"Report, the other side has guns, the other side has guns."

Then came the sound of gunfire from both sides.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

Gunshots rang out incessantly, completely shattering the silence of the night.

Upon seeing this, Xu Liyan and Xiao Wang immediately quickened their pace and rushed towards the end of the alley.

Just then, the voice came through the walkie-talkie again.

It was Zhuge Hong.

"Boss, youngest brother, he's headed over there."

Upon hearing this, Xu Liyan knew things were going badly. They were now in the middle of the alley, and if the other side stood at the alley entrance and fired into it, they would have no way to avoid it.

"Withdraw, quickly!" Xu Liyan assessed the distance, noting that the distance was longer in front and shorter behind, and made a swift decision.

"Boss, it's too late."
