Chapter 2005: Chapter 2106: Launching the Large-Scale Counterattack

The people of COM are frantically plundering resources in Lieyun City, each wanting to seize the opportunity to make a fortune.

Darzi is aware of this, and he doesn’t stop them but rather indulges his subordinates to do so.

The COM team is now completely disorganized; no one cares about anyone else as they focus solely on money.

Their actions in Lieyun City are clearly seen by Xiang Yu from underground.

Jackson, standing beside Xiang Yu, shouted angrily, "They are just a bunch of animals! There are many exits in the underground base. Quickly, send the team to deal with them."

"It’s not time yet," Xiang Yu said calmly, standing there.

"Then when will it be time?" Jackson asked angrily.

"Just wait," Xiang Yu said, then fell silent, watching the screen in the video.

At this moment, Xiang Yu’s phone rang; it was Xiaoxuan calling.

"Bro, I’ve infiltrated Sun City. The defense there is weak. Their main forces don’t seem to be here," Xiaoxuan said.

Xiaoxuan, born a sniper, excels in stealth; detecting his whereabouts is truly difficult.

Xiaoxuan circled Sun City and found the north side empty, with no troops stationed.

Even the south side had few troops and was slack in defense. If Darzi were there, Xiaoxuan was confident he could easily take the opponent’s head.

"They are too confident, so they sent their main troops to Lieyun City and are looting there now," Xiang Yu scoffed coldly.

"Bro, be careful. I’ll find their command post now," Xiaoxuan said.

"No rush, it’s still early. At 2 a.m., people are most at ease. That’s when you strike," Xiang Yu commanded.

"Alright, I’ll act at 2 a.m. sharp. Bro, wait for the good news; I’ll avenge Sister Long Wu," Xiaoxuan said before hanging up.

He knew Sun City too well; he was familiar with every corner. Seeing Sun City destroyed like this made him a bit sad.

In Lieyun City, the COM people looted plenty; they rested individually without concern for order.

Some even set fires to houses for fun.

Underground, Xiang Yu’s team was resting, unaware of the surface events, following Xiang Yu’s orders.

They were truly exhausted; since the battle began, they hadn’t slept a peaceful night.

They didn’t know how long they had slept until Xiang Yu’s voice came through the loudspeaker.

"Wake up, we have an operation," Xiang Yu’s voice sounded.

Everyone quickly stood up, grabbed their weapons, and stood at attention.

"First, let me update you on the situation outside: COM has taken Lieyun City. During the day..."

Xiang Yu explained the current situation so everyone had a clear understanding.

"They’re resting now, and we need to quietly deal with them. Quietly! Everyone, draw your knives and ensure a hit."

"If you understand my orders, raise your left hand."

After Xiang Yu spoke, everyone raised their left hands. Tie Zhuzi, missing a left arm, raised his right arm.

"Good, Team One, above you are ten people sleeping. Go and deal with them quietly."

"Team Three, above you are eight people. Go up now."

Xiang Yu sat in the command center, clearly seeing the surface situation.

COM’s team thought the war was won and were off their guard, with no one even on watch, resting in Lieyun City without a care.

This gave Xiang Yu’s team the perfect opportunity.

Team One carefully moved outside, each holding a knife, approaching the COM people.

COM had been looting all day and slept soundly, oblivious to the approaching danger.

The City Guard Army approached with knives, unnoticed by the COM team.

One person opened his eyes briefly, thinking it was his team, and closed them to sleep again.

The City Guard Army held their breath; once in position, they mercilessly slashed throats.

Most didn’t know what hit them before meeting King Yan; some realized but couldn’t speak as their throats were cut.

Team One successfully completed their task, retreating silently underground to await further orders.

Other teams carried out their tasks secretly and successfully, except Team Five, where someone accidentally fired a shot.

The gunshot pierced the silent night.

The City Guard Army immediately halted, some even laying down to pretend to sleep.

The shot caused minor disturbance; some didn’t even bother to look, just turned and continued sleeping.

Xiang Yu, in the command center, observed their reactions closely, scoffing; even if he didn’t eliminate them today, they’d be wiped out by others eventually, having no sense of crisis.

Seeing no response, the City Guard Army resumed action.

The COM people were like lambs to the slaughter, each sent to the Western Paradise or hell.

In less than an hour, two-thirds of COM’s team were killed, yet COM remained oblivious, immersed in the joy of looting.

In the COM command center, Darzi awoke suddenly from a nightmare.

"Someone, come here," Darzi shouted.

Someone rushed over, "Boss, what’s wrong?"

"Have you contacted the front line? There’s nothing unusual, right?" Darzi asked.

He had dreamt everyone died, surrounded by blood.

"No, no contact," the person replied nervously; it was past 2 a.m., who would bother contacting the front line without reason?

Besides, during the day, the front line enjoyed the plundering, while they had nothing at the rear, feeling resentful.

"Contact the front line quickly and ask if there’s anything unusual," Darzi demanded, standing up.

"Yes!" The person replied, muttering, "It’s late, you don’t sleep, but I need to."

Despite his complaints, he tried reaching the front line.

But no one answered, despite three attempts.

The operator, uneasy, reported to Darzi, "Boss, the line’s dead. They must be sleeping."

"Call again," Darzi urged, feeling an odd unease, sensing something was going to happen... 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
