Five latrine cleaners were gathered in a secluded alley, with two latrine carts parked beside them.

The stench of feces in the air was nauseating.

But the five people were completely unaware.

It seems I've gotten used to it.

They formed a circle, their eyes glancing around warily at every possible passerby in the distance.

The alley is very remote and rarely visited, but these are extraordinary times, so we have to be careful.

Because their manure carts didn't contain manure.

It is a biological weapon.

Wang Lu was a tall, thin woman in her thirties with a pointed face and monkey-like features. Her small eyes gleamed with excitement as she lowered her voice and said:

"I didn't expect to get these weapons into Beijing so easily. There wasn't even a single person checking them along the way."

He paused, then a smug smile appeared on his lips: "It seems the empire is truly blessed by Heaven and protected by the Emperor."

Ye Tao nodded, his eyes also showing joy: "This is all thanks to the recent incident at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang."

The police officers today are exhausted, both physically and mentally, from the series of murders.

Their eyes were as red as rabbits', and they could fall asleep standing up; how could they possibly have the time to carefully inspect the manure cart?

Upon hearing this, Wang Lu couldn't help but laugh out loud: "So, we should thank that legendary evil spirit?"

The five people looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

"Hahaha……"

"Evil spirits paved the way for us, and the empire cleaned up the mess for us."

Ye Tao laughed and said, "Once this batch of weapons arrives in the south of the city and is deployed, hehe..."

He didn't finish speaking, but everyone understood what he meant.

Once the virus was released, how many hundreds or thousands of people died?

The entire city of Beijing will be thrown into panic, and they will take advantage of the chaos to cause destruction, bomb factories, kill cadres, and loot supplies...

The spring of the empire is coming.

"Alright."

Ye Tao's smile faded, and he said seriously, "First, send the manure cart to the south of the city."

He glanced in the direction of the alley entrance:

"The East City is in complete chaos right now. I heard the army has been deployed to investigate the serial murders."

"Really?" Wang Lu asked.

"Is that even possible?"

Ye Tao said, "One of my neighbors works at the Dongcheng Police Station. He was called in to work overtime last night."

He said he personally witnessed soldiers, fully armed, completely surrounding the courtyard house at No. 95.

Wang Lu smacked her lips:

"Good heavens, even the army has been mobilized. Just how many people did that evil spirit kill?"

"I heard there are more than forty."

Another latrine cleaner chimed in, "Even the police station chief is dead, hanging from a crooked tree and swinging on a swing."

"Even so, there's no need to surround the No. 95 courtyard house, which has been burned down to the ground."

"You don't understand. So many people like swinging, but is it because they like swinging?"

Wang Lu guessed, "Could it be that big locust tree?"

"Locust tree, locust tree, can you savor it carefully?"

槐?

Wood?

ghost?

Everyone was silent for a few seconds.

Although they say "thank you for the evil spirits," they are actually afraid in their hearts.

That thing kills without hesitation; it's impossible to guard against.

What if we crash into it...

Don't think about those unnecessary things.

Ye Tao broke the silence, "Let's do our thing. Let's go to the dye house first and wait for our backup."

The five men pushed the manure cart and turned into another, more secluded alley.

After winding their way around for about twenty minutes, they arrived at an abandoned dye house.

The door to the dye shop was ajar, and it was quiet inside.

Ye Tao stepped forward and gently knocked on the door three times.

"Knock knock knock".

Pause for three seconds.

He knocked twice more.

"Knock knock".

The door opened.

A burly man with a face full of scars poked his head out. Seeing it was them, he nodded and stepped aside.

"Come in."

Five people pushed the manure cart inside.

The dye house was very large, but it's now abandoned.

The air was filled not with the smell of dye, but with the stench of feces.

But the five of them couldn't care less about that.

Their gazes fell on the few people standing in the courtyard.

Seven or eight people stood in the middle of the courtyard, all with grim expressions.

The leader, Guan Gu, wore a gray cloth long gown and an old felt hat, but his eyes were as cold as knives.

His real name is Guan Gu Shenqi. He joined the Special Higher Police in his early years, and later went undercover in Beijing, changed his name and identity, and has been hiding ever since.

This abandoned dye house was their base.

Ye Tao was stunned for a moment, and was about to report the good news.

Guan Gu spoke first.

"The people we sent out this morning to retrieve the Lou family's treasure are not coming back."

Ye Tao's smile froze on his face.

Wang Lu's pupils suddenly contracted.

The other three people turned deathly pale instantly.

"What?"

Ye Tao's voice was dry, "Old Sun and the others..."

"They're all dead."

Guan Gu said, "Not a single one is left; the police have already taken care of them."

The courtyard was quiet.

Guan Gu's gaze swept over Ye Tao and his group of five, and he slowly said, "Our base may have already been exposed."

Ye Tao's legs went weak, and he almost lost his balance.

exposed?

He knew better than anyone what that meant.

The police could arrive at any time, and the army could surround them at any time.

These people were either shot dead on the spot, arrested, tortured, and ultimately shot.

"You've come back just in time."

Guan Gu continued urgently, "Prepare to evacuate. Transport the biological weapons to the South City first; there's a backup base there."

"We can't stay here any longer."

Ye Tao snapped out of his daze and nodded repeatedly:

"Hi!"

He turned around and waved to Wang Lu and the others:

"Quickly! Push the manure cart away, we mustn't let anyone see it."

The five men rushed off to push the manure cart.

The manure cart had just been pushed out of the yard.

"ah!!!"

A scream came from outside the door.

Then came the second tone, and then the third tone.

Short, stern, and then abruptly stopped.

Everyone froze at the same time.

Guan Gu's face instantly turned ashen. He abruptly drew his pistol from his waist, pointing it at the door: "Baka yarou! What happened?"

No one answered him.

Outside the gate, there was a deathly silence.

Ye Tao's legs began to tremble, and he subconsciously stepped back, his back against the manure cart, his eyes fixed on the half-open door.

Wang Lu's face was ashen, her lips trembled, and she tried to say something but couldn't make a sound.

The others weren't much better off.

Guan Gu gripped his pistol and walked step by step toward the gate.

step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

He reached out and yanked the door open.

The area outside the door was deserted.

There was nothing there.

Guan Gu paused for a moment, then peeked out.

Then, he saw it.

At the entrance of the alley, three corpses lay.

Those were their lookouts.

All three people are dead.

A deep gash ran down his neck, and blood was still gushing out.

Guan Gu's pupils contracted sharply, and he turned around abruptly, as if to shout.

A face appeared before him.

Lin Tian smiled and said, "Hello."

Guan Gu's pupils contracted sharply, and he instinctively raised his hand, wanting to fire.

But Lin Tian was even faster.

The axe swept across.

"puff!"

Guan Gu's hand, which was holding the gun, was cleanly severed at the wrist.

His hand was still gripping the gun, but it had fallen to the ground, and his fingers were still twitching.

"Aaaaaah!!!"

Guan Gu screamed in agony as he clutched his severed wrist and knelt on the ground. In the courtyard, everyone simultaneously drew their guns and aimed them at Lin Tian.

But no one dared to fire.

Only because

A ghostly figure was looking at them innocently, and that smile sent chills down their spines.
