Dragon Gate Swordsman

Chongxiao stared at the front and said, "I have to deal with him here. Do you need to avoid him?"

Although Lei Mule had handled several business operations for Penguin Logistics, Chongxiao could see that she had never truly "seen blood", so her next action would most likely be her first experience of killing.

"Eh? Wait... didn't you say you wanted to..."

"I think I know what they're looking for."

Chapter 125: Espionage Warfare Must Be Ruthless

Mrs. Audrey did not consider herself a very capable leader.

When she was in Chernobyl, her father had always been the canary that her father had "targeted for training". She grew up to be a qualified marriage candidate in an elegant, intellectual and gentle manner.

But there is an old saying in Dayan: Women are weak by nature, but strong when they become mothers... This was vividly demonstrated in Mrs. Audrey, and it also prompted her to flee her home with her young daughter and come to Longmen to seek a way to survive.

Fortunately, she got help from Chongxiao and Haoyun.

Today, Mrs. Audrey is highly respected by the infected because she facilitated the opening of the ore processing plant. However, she is very easily satisfied and believes that she has no economic talent. She took the initiative to ask to come to the relief agency set up specifically for the infected, ready to use her only specialty.

Teach the infected children the basics.

"So... has everyone memorized the words they are going to practice today?"

"Remember it!"

The children's tender voices gathered together and echoed in the corridor outside the classroom.

Among them are not only homeless orphans, but also many children who are restricted by mineralogy and cannot receive a good education.

With Chongxiao's "matchmaking", Longmen's attitude towards the infected is no longer as extreme as before. At least Wei Yanwu, who had thought about getting rid of them more than once, has long given up the idea.

After all, the infected people now have their own exclusive "profit projects". As long as they live peacefully and don't cause trouble, who would be willing to get rid of the hens that lay eggs?

But this cannot change the current situation in the infected area where there is a serious lack of infrastructure and institutions... Hospitals, schools, transportation, post and telecommunications, etc. all require time to accumulate. If you want to build Rome overnight, not to mention that Longmen’s finances do not allow it, the citizens of Longmen will also have strong resistance.

Therefore, many infected people who have found a way to make a living and need to work will send their children to relief agencies to attend classes, replacing the extremely scarce schools in the infected areas.

Seeing the children leaving the classroom one after another, talking and laughing, a trace of relief appeared on Mrs. Audrey's face.

Although this rescue organization is still relatively simple and all she can teach is basic Yan language and arithmetic, judging from the growing business scale of the ore processing plant, the conditions of the infected will definitely get better and better in the future.

This is all thanks to Mr. Chongxiao and Ms. Shi Huaiya...

After packing up her things and walking out of the classroom, Mrs. Audrey suddenly noticed a figure at the end of the corridor.

That was a Sarkaz woman named Leia. Red said that she was rescued from the wilderness outside by Chongxiao.

Mrs. Audrey didn't know much about the Sarkaz. The limited knowledge she had came from her deceased father and husband... In their words, the Sarkaz were barbaric and cruel, brutal and warlike. Most of them were illiterate and almost all of them had mineralogy, so they were ostracized in most countries and regions.

But the Sarkaz woman rescued by Chongxiao was the exact opposite of the stereotype of Lady Audrey: she was gentle and weak in character, well-spoken, and exuded a noble aura from head to toe.

Just like...a princess in a fairy tale.

However, for some reason, Lady Audrey always felt that there was something wrong with her state, because rather than saying that she was so good that she would not get angry, it seemed that she simply did not know how to get angry. (Note 1)

"Leya, what are you doing here?"

"I...want to go out for a walk, is that not okay?"

Leia turned around and smiled embarrassedly, like a child who had done something wrong.

After several days of recovery, the wounds on her abdomen and head had healed and no longer required bandages or medication. However, she didn't know whether the horn that was broken by Chongxiao would ever grow back.

Leia did not blame Chongxiao for this, and even Mrs. Audrey suspected that she would not blame anyone... This was because two days ago a naughty child put a cup of water on the bathroom door as a prank, and Leia, who was "tricked", did not show the slightest resentment or anger.

Mrs. Audrey had read many books on psychology in Chernobyl, and she was well aware that certain phenomena, once taken too far, would become problems and hidden dangers.

However, Leia has only been in Longmen for a short time and has not yet recovered, so it is better not to delve into this matter for the time being.

"Of course, but don't misunderstand that you are imprisoned here."

"That's not the case... By the way, was Sister Audrey teaching those kids just now?"

"Yeah, there are fewer schools here, and sick children...you should understand."

As they were talking and walking, the two had left the teaching facilities of the rescue organization and came to the yard.

This building was just completed by Longmen officials a year ago. It was originally used as an ordinary shelter for the infected, but Shi Huaiya, impressed by Chongxiao's actions, secretly made additional investments, expanding the scale of the facility several times... Anyway, places like infected areas are definitely sparsely populated, so those empty and dilapidated buildings were simply demolished.

The relief agency is equipped with teachers like Mrs. Audrey, some doctors who can treat simple illnesses, and messengers responsible for informing the infected of the latest news. It can be said that to some extent it has exercised some of the functions of a government agency.

Leia found all of this extremely novel. Obviously, in her understanding, infected people rarely received such treatment.

"That's true. Mr. Chongxiao also told me that the reason for this change is the emergence of business opportunities that require infected people, not because other people have begun to recognize the existence of infected people."

"So the fundamental problem has not been solved, right?"

"Yes, but we should be content to live this kind of life."

Mrs. Audrey has never been an ambitious person, nor does she have any big ideas... She once saw a report from her hometown of Ursus on TV, saying that a group of infected people calling themselves the Integration Movement were attacking mines everywhere and rescuing the enslaved infected people.

She respected the integration movement that spoke out for the infected, but it was difficult for her to agree with their actions from the bottom of her heart.

If we cannot completely defeat the Ursus patrols, or force them to recognize the legitimate rights of the infected, then terrorists will always be terrorists...

Leia seemed unwilling to talk more about this issue and turned the topic directly to Chongxiao.

It can be seen that this Sarkaz woman cares very much about the person who saved her, and her words reveal an inexplicable longing. But if it is love at first sight, Mrs. Audrey, who has been through it, does not agree.

"Mr. Chongxiao...is he highly immune to oripathy?"

"Yes, he had already held my daughter in his arms when I had only known him for a few days."

Madam Audrey smiled and said, "Come to think of it, I was even more nervous than Mr. Chongxiao at that time, fearing that he might be infected with mineral disease."

"But he didn't."

"Well... Mr. Chongxiao has never been averse to contact with any infected person, even... those who have turned into crystals."

Leia suddenly stopped, and for the first time, confusion and surprise appeared in her eyes, but soon turned into confusion.

Obviously, the danger of oripathy is common knowledge in this land. Perhaps some people with special talents are not easily infected, but if people who have direct contact with infected people who have died of oripathy are fine, it is indeed a bit...sensational.

"By the way, I haven't asked you in detail yet, Leia, how is your infection? Is it serious?"

"Don't worry, the Sarkaz have a high tolerance to mineral sickness, so Sister Audrey doesn't have to worry about me."

"Then we must conduct a thorough inspection..."

Mrs. Audrey hesitated for a moment and said, "How about this, when you are better, I will go with you."

……

In the end, Chongxiao did not let Lei Mule see any bloody scenes.

Relying on his advantages in speed and explosive power, he suddenly appeared when the Sarkaz spy was completely unaware, and then pointed a finger at his chest.

The true energy burst out and the finger force penetrated the body, directly piercing the heart of the Sarkaz spy... The poor guy couldn't even make any sound before he fell down limply.

Chongxiao just looked down at his corpse, frowning, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Then, he squatted down and took off the device on the wrist of the Sarkaz spy...

This is a bracelet similar to a voodoo magic tool, with three strange totems of different sizes strung together. The largest one can shine like a crystal lamp, and it should be attached with some unique source stone technology.

This kind of thing is not uncommon on Terra, and in places like Sargon and Sami they are even the main circulating commodities, but... it turns out that the Sarkaz also know how to practice witchcraft?

"Chongxiao!"

Just then, Remule came jogging over.

When the girl saw the body of the Sarkaz spy, her steps paused noticeably, but since it was not bloody or scary at all, she did not feel any psychological pressure.

The two main businesses of Penguin Logistics are escort and security. In the future, she will inevitably encounter situations involving murder, so the Emperor and Mostima had prepared her in this regard as early as when she joined the company.

"You...why did you just start fighting in the street?"

"What else? Wait until he starts wreaking havoc?"

Chongxiao stood up and put the bracelet magic weapon into his pocket without leaving a trace. "Call Lin Yuxia first, and then call the police directly... The task force will know how to deal with it."

The clever Remuel quickly realized something was wrong, "What about you?"

"I'll go check it out."

After saying that, Chongxiao left without looking back.

Of course, he would not go directly to Leia to ask for clarification... Obviously, considering the current condition of the Sarkaz woman, it would be useless to ask.

Well, let's ask other spies...

Half an hour later, Chongxiao appeared near a tube-shaped building in the slums.

"I need the exact house number, Xiaoxia, which room is he in?"

"...Teacher, do you think the drone that contacted me was an all-weather patrol drone?"

"Hey, hey, hey! The teacher believes in you!"

"Then it's more believable that you can single-handedly take on the entire Sarkaz tribe, Sensei."

After Chongxiao encountered two setbacks in a row, Lin Yuxia hung up the phone.

In fact, this was just asking too much of Chongxiao... People's war has never been known for its accuracy. Although the omnipresent informants were able to monitor a Sarkaz spy moving into this tube-shaped building, it would definitely take time to find out the specific room.

After all, the rental procedures in slums are not as formal as those in other areas. You can just pay some money and find an empty room to move in without even registering.

Time? The last thing I want to lose is time!

Chongxiao, who was in a stubborn mood, called Ilona again and asked her to send someone to the tube building... to create panic!

Yes, it’s about creating panic!

"Uh... Sir, are you really going to do this?"

"Don't worry, I'm here, so why worry about it? Just do as I tell you!"

Chongxiao's words made the two policemen look at each other in bewilderment. They were law and order maintainers under Ilona's task force. Their usual job was to remind residents to pay attention to public safety and maintain order. They had never even participated in catching criminals.

However, now, this famous police officer from Chongxiao actually wants them to... issue a false fire report?

Unable to disobey, the two men had no choice but to go to the guard room next to the tube building and pull the fire alarm.

In places like slums, there is no need to count on a complete fire-fighting system. Even the fire alarm is manually operated, which means that when a fire occurs, someone must notice it and come down to pull the trigger for the alarm to sound.

The show had to be done in full. While the people in the tube building were walking out of their rooms and going to the corridor to look for the fire, Chongxiao, who had already slipped to the side of the building, suddenly raised his hand and threw a ball of fire up.

Of course, this "fire" was completely in accordance with his orders and would not actually burn down the building.

"Ahh! It's really on fire!"

"Fuck it! Run!"

"Hey, don't block me, get out of the way!"

Since it was not yet time to get off work, there were not many people in the tube building, and they all ran downstairs in just a few minutes.

During this period, Chongxiao, who had been observing the situation carefully, quickly locked onto his target...

The Sarkaz disguised as Caprini was a female who was heavily dressed and suspected of hiding weapons. The most important thing was that she was extremely calm when she walked out of the room and went to the stairs through the balcony corridor. She didn't seem to be frightened by the fire at all.

But there were too many civilians here, and it was not convenient for Chongxiao to take action, so he called the two police officers with sad faces again and asked them to deliberately ask about the identity of the Sarkaz woman.

As expected, the Sarkaz woman who was approached by the local police for no reason quickly turned around and left after talking for a while. It was obvious that she had sensed something was wrong... Spies in the enemy camp often need this kind of vigilance, which is close to paranoia, to ensure their own safety.

However, from another perspective, the Sarkaz people, who had ended the civil war, did not underestimate Longmen at all, which made Chongxiao very worried.

Forget it, let’s torture this spy first.

Ten minutes later, when the Sarkaz spy was moving quickly through the dark alleys of the slums, Chongxiao, who had fallen from the sky, suddenly landed in front of her.

"I have some questions for you... Don't even think about resisting. If you know anything about Longmen, you should know my strength."

A flash of panic flashed across the Sarkaz woman's face, but the next moment, she suddenly threw aside her heavy cloak and raised the weapon attached to her right hand.

That was an arm crossbow commonly used by the Sarkaz people. Its lethality was slightly lower than that of ordinary crossbows, so they often had to use poison and Originium skills to fight against the enemy...

The Sarkaz woman gave a slightly sinister smile, then without hesitation fired a crossbow arrow towards Chongxiao's head.

Do not overestimate your own capabilities.

Chongxiao raised his hand seemingly casually and swung it lightly. A sharp sword energy took shape instantly, splitting the crossbow arrow directly into two pieces. Then, it continued to penetrate the Sarkaz woman's arm crossbow and completely destroyed it.
