Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups-Chapter 178 - 154: Going Out to Sea for Fishing_2

After listening to the middle-aged man’s report, Luo Lie nodded slightly.

Then he made a gesture for a thorough search.

Shortly after, sporadic gunshots and sounds of fighting erupted continuously.

Then they mainly concentrated in one direction and sounded quite intense.

Luo Lie’s eyes narrowed, and he immediately followed the sounds.

Upon reaching the corridor leading to the eastern annex on the first floor, three extraordinarily muscular Merfolk were blocking the path.

Regardless of the hail of specially made Armor-piercing Bullets, they couldn’t inflict any effective damage.

Even more so, they wreaked havoc among the crowd, causing several combat personnel to suffer bone fractures and injuries.

"Get out of the way!"

Seeing his subordinates unable to withstand the foe’s formidable Strength, Luo Lie issued a stern command and quickly strode through the corridor.

With his footsteps advancing, an invisible force field seemed to gather a mountainous force.

That force then enveloped the three Merfolk overhead, rendering them unable to move freely.

Creak, creak—

The grating sound that made one’s teeth hurt continued to ring out.

The eyes of the three Merfolk bulged as they struggled against the immense pressure weighing down on them, and they managed to shuffle one step forward.

Upon seeing this, Luo Lie’s eyes emitted a flash of blue light.

That caused the three Merfolk to stop in their tracks. Their backs curved like shrimp, their legs trembled non-stop, and they continued to bend their knees.

Even the ground under their feet cracked and caved in, creating a sight that was chilling to witness.

Bang!

Finally, as if balloons were suddenly burst.

The three Merfolk were crushed into a pile of blood and flesh.

Luo Lie’s expression remained unchanged as he lifted his foot and stepped over what was once his foes, now unrecognizable.

Looking up ahead, he saw a majestic building resembling a church.

According to Li Chengjun’s description, that should be the entrance to the underground cave.

Thinking this, Luo Lie immediately turned around to face all the elite members of the Pursuer Team who had gathered here in full force.

His gaze then fell upon the middle-aged man and another team member, and he commanded:

"Black Panther, Black Wolf, send the signal to Li Chengjun, then stay here with the injured, contact via walkie-talkie if new information comes in."

"Yes."

The two of them promptly carried out the orders.

Luo Lie took out a box of chewing gum from his pocket, took out a piece, and slowly chewed it in his mouth.

Moments later, with a furrowed brow, he watched the doors of the Meditation Hall being forcefully pushed open and coldly issued the combat orders:

"Once inside the cave, fire at will and spare no one." fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

At the training camp building.

Accompanied by a piercing whooping sound, a flare flew high into the stormy skies.

Like a firework with a long tail, it momentarily lit up the gloomy clouds.

The choppy sea churned as the boats rocked and swayed.

Li Chengjun stood on the deck braving the wind and rain, and upon seeing the flare, he immediately looked down at his wristwatch.

It was just a few minutes past midnight, not too late.

At this moment, ten Pursuer Team Members stood behind him, ready to go.

They were equipped with full scuba gear, including wetsuits, regulators, oxygen tanks, flippers, and an underwater version of assault rifles, along with specially equipped chemical weapons.

Li Chengjun himself also put on a one-piece wetsuit and goggles.

A long beam of light cut through the sea, catching his eye.

That was the lighthouse guiding navigation at the harbor.

A few kilometers away, five fishing boats with twinkling lights were moving closer, scattered and sailing through the wind and waves as if searching for something on the sea.

Li Chengjun shifted his gaze away, then reached out through the walkie-talkie headset to contact the other three teams:

"The fish have reached the shallow waters, begin the fishing plan."

In the stormy night sky, radio waves fluttered, transmitting weak and unstable signals.

Moments later.

Three speedboats, hidden for a long time, also approached three of the fishing boats under the cover of nightfall and the wind-driven waves.

Li Chengjun’s plan was simple.

Taking advantage of the True Thought Society’s members going under the sea to salvage the treasure, and their loss of defensive strength, he aimed to take over their ship equipment in advance.

If the "Ancient Relics" were successfully salvaged as expected, he would swiftly support and secure the designated target vessel with his ten elite team members.

The best outcome would be to reap the rewards.

Should any surprises occur, Li Chengjun was also prepared to personally dive and snatch the treasure, ensuring a foolproof operation.

From a distance, the sound of a motor could be heard, and a fishing boat was positioned exactly opposite the Cape.

Silhouettes on the boat were busily engaged in salvage work.

A speedboat lay hidden in the darkened storm, ready to approach and board at any moment.

Time passed by every minute and second.

Li Chengjun, looking through the infrared scope, took turns observing the three chosen fishing boats, waiting quietly.

Suddenly, a voice came through his earpiece:

"Envoy, position C is ready and controlled. It seems that a large object is about to be salvaged!"

The voice came from his subordinate A Jie, who was in charge of the target boat right across from the Cape.

Li Chengjun’s eyes lit up at the news and immediately ordered Tang Dayuan in the cockpit to steer the boat over.

The ship plowed through the surging waves and quickly approached the target.

When they were still a few meters away, Li Chengjun couldn’t wait to leap onto the opposite boat.

Other team members also followed suit and jumped across.

However, when Li Chengjun’s gaze swept across the deserted deck, a sense of doubt surfaced, and he felt an odd presence.

As he was on high alert, applause suddenly broke out.

"Welcome, welcome."

Then a group of people emerged from the cabin, led by an old man whose complexion was slightly green.

They were evidently official members of the True Thought Society.

Behind them, a few Pursuer Team Members could be faintly seen lying unconscious on the floor, their fates uncertain—including A Jie, who had communicated earlier.
