Light Fortress-Chapter 1399 - 176: The Smuggling Plan

From the other side came Cui Zhongcheng’s calm voice: "You can now directly connect with them."

"Tsk, they are all big shots."

Uncle smiled upon hearing this, revealing his white teeth, with a hint of pride: "But I have Gu Shen’s contact information."

"Oh, really?"

Cui Zhongcheng recalled events from a few years ago in Da Du, and his final tone also carried a hint of amusement: "Seems like I chose the right person."

"Then... Hu Danian, I wish you success with your mission."

The convoy drove across the wilderness, and the outline of the distant forest was vaguely visible.

Hu Danian discarded the bottle.

He squinted his eyes, and before he could dial the contact information left by Cui Zhongcheng, a young and cold voice sounded within his mind.

"I am Bai Xiu."

Hu Danian had heard this name before.

One of Changye’s most talented young individuals in recent years...

The reason "one of" is needed is due to the appearance of another S-Class talent in Changye a few years ago.

Gu Shen.

Hu Danian looked around, not seeing a trace of a figure, he asked puzzledly.

"How did you lock onto me?"

"Coincidence... the movement of the East Continent convoy entering Sangzhou Cave was quite significant, and my [Thunder Realm Walker] was capturing mental signals from the clouds, and happened to see you."

Bai Xiu’s answer was humble.

But in reality, such things are not coincidences; as long as his [Thunder Realm Walker] is perched on the clouds, it can nearly encompass half of Sangzhou Cave in its view.

"Alright then."

Hu Danian touched his nose: "Are you responsible for the smuggling task of helping the people of Sangzhou Cave leave their homeland?"

"Smuggling task..."

Bai Xiu paused for a second, repeating the task in his mind.

Unpleasant to hear, but very apt.

"I should be responsible."

He sighed softly and said: "But I’m only responsible for sending away one person, the most important one."

"...I know."

Hu Danian’s eyes lit up; he had been briefed from above—

About "Gu Xiaoman," Gu Shen informed Lu Nanzhi immediately.

After rescuing this little one, Gu Shen and Lu Nanzhi formulated a rough plan overnight in the meeting room to send her away. The plan was actually not complicated. On hunting day, the East Continent convoy would enter Sangzhou Cave... this was the best opportunity to send people away.

Da Du needed to dispatch a reliable, trustworthy Transcendent whose identity was low-key and wouldn’t attract attention!

After much deliberation.

Gu Shen thought of this "secret informant," Hu Danian, whom he met many years ago in the Dadu District.

Hu Danian, who had once "lived and died" with Gu Shen, has been steadily progressing over the years, rising from a Low-level Action Officer to an official official of the Da Du Court.

Once the plan was set, a formal process followed—

Lu Nanzhi personally named him, and Cui Zhongcheng received him, granting the authority of an A-Class mission...

All of this felt dreamlike; the moment Hu Danian walked out of Huazhi Building, he still felt like he hadn’t woken up, and only after giving himself a slap of excitement did he wake up!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime big mission!

This southern convoy, transporting material goods was the guise, the real aim was to take people away from Sangzhou Cave!

The convoy was to take away about ten people...

Among them, the "mission target" he was responsible for, was the most important and mysterious.

To this day, Hu Danian still did not know who he was supposed to take away, but he knew very well that this southern mission was extremely dangerous and not to be careless.

A vision formed over Hu Danian’s Heart Lake.

"Is this... the target object?"

Hu Danian held his breath as he looked at the small girl in a black shirt over his Heart Lake, looking thin and small, approximately six to seven years old, with short, neat hair; just one glance, and he committed this image to memory.

"Her surname is Gu, Gu Xiaoman."

Bai Xiu asked: "I have seen the transportation plan drafted by Chen Mei, in two hours, you will deliver the wall materials and then return via the same route to leave Sangzhou Cave... the mission target will board the armored vehicle to leave at this time, but the Storm Church has the ’life detection system,’ how do you plan to evade detection?"

"Mr. Bai, Huazhi possesses the world’s most advanced technology."

Hu Danian smiled and said: "This armored vehicle utilizes the ’Green Silver’ interlayer, which can block the flow detection of Extraordinary Essence. Every armored vehicle interior has concealed partitions engraved with Ancient Talismans; carrying only ten people might be somewhat wasteful... if used rationally, this convoy could actually stably take away two hundred people. I suggest you also come in to experience it."

"..."

Bai Xiu genuinely fell silent.

"Of course, two hundred might be a bit crowded." Hu Danian touched his nose, coughed lightly, and spoke within the Heart Lake: "After all, the name of this plan contains the word ’smuggling’... if you consider it as smuggling, then being a bit crowded is nothing, the journey isn’t too far. Enduring for three to five hours will be over." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

The preliminary plan of Huazhi is to first test whether this "anti-detection" system has any issues—

This time we are sending ten people to ensure there are no safety concerns.

If the smuggling plan does not encounter any issues... then all the Neutrals from the South Cave can be sent away using this method!

The Four Continents hold Sangzhou Cave, sending away Transcendents is actually something the Holy City cannot prevent—

The Storm God’s Throne is absent.

The Southern Continent has no right to interfere in the affairs of other continents.

However, even if the Holy City cannot stop such matters, they have ways to delay it.
