CHAPTER 337: CHAPTER 339: DISGUISER

Half an hour later, the conference room was already filled with people.

The entire top brass of the Base City was present, and the seven members of the Soaring Dragon Squad were seated on either side of the Base City’s leader.

"Leader, I heard that the Base City has found the exact location of the Corpse King?

We don’t know where it is. Our Soaring Dragon Squad will set off immediately to eliminate it, so as to avoid unexpected incidents and prevent it from escaping!"

Li Heng, with darker skin and a military haircut, sat on the left side of the Base City’s leader, looking at him and asked somewhat anxiously.

After all, the Corpse King is very cunning. Once its location is exposed, it might relocate quickly, and even if they chase after it, it would be difficult to capture its traces if time drags on.

"Captain Li Heng, the Corpse King’s location is now on the mountain road of Jiangyuan Mountain, in Shanchuan City.

However, you don’t need to be too worried. According to our intelligence, the opposing convoy seems to have encountered a landslide blocking the road, so it should be unable to move from this spot for a while."

The Base City’s leader nodded to Li Heng as he spoke, handing over the booklet containing the intelligence to Li Heng.

After receiving the booklet, Li Heng carefully reviewed it, gaining a better understanding of the situation and feeling somewhat relieved. If the situation in the booklet is accurate, the Corpse King’s convoy seems unable to leave for now.

Then, Li Heng looked up at the Base City’s leader, asking with some confusion: "Leader, is the witness available? Can I meet them to get a detailed understanding of the situation at Jiangyuan Mountain?"

"This intelligence was secretly delivered by an Evolver, and the Base City still hasn’t found out who it is."

The Base City’s leader shook his head.

"That’s a pity..."

Hearing this, Li Heng was somewhat disappointed. If he could communicate with the witness in person, he would surely be able to learn many details, especially about the current situation of the Corpse King and Jiangyuan Mountain.

Unable to locate the witness now, his plan was thwarted.

"Leader, now that the Corpse King’s location is confirmed, our Soaring Dragon Squad will set out immediately to eradicate this Corpse King."

Li Heng spoke solemnly and seriously.

This time, their mission for the Soaring Dragon Squad was only one: to kill the Corpse King. Now that the target has shown itself, the Soaring Dragon Squad must take action immediately.

"Captain Li, do you need several Evolutionary Squads from the Base City to assist you?"

Upon hearing this, the Base City’s leader nodded and inquired.

"No need, Leader. This time, our Soaring Dragon Squad will make a quick in-and-out."

Li Heng shook his head. He had no regard for the Base City’s Evolutionary Squads in Jianghai. Bringing them along might not aid the mission and could even pose a burden, so better leave them be!

Upon hearing Li Heng’s words, the leader of the Base City felt relieved, not because he was stingy, but because the Evolutionary Squads of the Base City had been severely damaged in previous actions against the Corpse King and had yet to recover.

This time, if a few Evolutionary Squads are sent to follow the Soaring Dragon Squad, it would naturally be a great joy if the operation succeeds, but if it fails, then...

Ten minutes later, a helicopter squadron of three helicopters took off swiftly from Jianghai Base City, quickly flying towards Shanchuan City.

In the sky, in the helicopter situated in the middle, the seven members of the Soaring Dragon Squad were holding a secret meeting.

"This isn’t the first time for you to face the Corpse King. I won’t say much, but be cautious, and follow orders precisely, understood?"

Li Heng’s expression was serious as he glanced at the six team members in front of him, giving a solemn warning.

"Understood!"

All six nodded. They naturally understood the gravity of the situation with the Corpse King.

"This mission’s action plan is the same as last time, Zhao Bin. Once we reach Jiangyuan Mountain and locate the convoy’s exact position, infiltrate like last time and find the exact location of the Corpse King.

We will draw the enemy’s attention from the periphery. Seize the opportunity to eliminate the Corpse King! Once successful, retreat immediately; do not linger in battle. We will be there to support you."

Li Heng looked to his left at the tall, lean young man who was polishing his combat knife and advised.

"Got it! Captain, just watch me!"

Zhao Bin looked up, smiled confidently.

Seeing this, Li Heng nodded.

Zhao Bin is a new recruit to the Soaring Dragon Squad and the key for their team to assist the Imperial Capital with the Corpse King issue.

He is a Disguiser who awakened with the ability to disguise himself as other organisms, making it impossible for similar creatures to distinguish him.

Last time, it was thanks to Zhao Bin disguising as an Evolved Zombie and infiltrating the zombie ranks, deceiving layers of Evolved Zombie guards, that they found the Corpse King’s location and eliminated it.

Now, the Soaring Dragon Squad plans to repeat the strategy to slay this Corpse King of Jiang Province.

...

Time passes bit by bit, and in a blink, two days have gone by.

Rumble—

The convoy finally left the mountain road and entered the asphalt road, at the same time, Lu Chuan and the two others successfully left the range of Shanchuan City and entered the neighboring city.

"We’re finally off the mountain road, what a pain it was! I’m happy today, I need to eat more."

In the back seat, Zhao Lin stretched lazily, saying joyfully.

Traveling on the mountain road really made her feel nauseous and ruined her appetite for the past two days.

Lu Chuan in the front seat nodded. Logically, Shanchuan City is not far from the neighboring city, and it shouldn’t take two days to travel from Shanchuan City to the neighboring city.

But the mountain roads of Shanchuan City are not only winding but also meandering, often leading the route in circles over a single mountain, consuming too much time.

"Mrs. Zhao Lin, you should eat less. In just a short time, your face has grown rounder, you’ve gained quite a bit of weight."

Ji Ruxue looked at Zhao Lin’s noticeably round face, pointed to her own face, and mocked.

"Little Qiqi, what are you saying? Your auntie was just too thin before, I’m not even filled out yet, not fat at all!"

"I’ll let you say it!"

Upon hearing the word "fat," Zhao Lin instantly flared up, hurriedly defending herself while reaching over to tickle Ji Ruxue’s armpit.

Immediately, the two started to playfully squabble, with one pleading for mercy amid laughter.

After a while of playful fighting, Zhao Lin let Little Qiqi go and turned to ask Lu Chuan in the front: "Lu Chuan, I checked the map before. We should be entering Li River City by now, right?

By then, we really need to get some tasty river fish. I wonder how mutated river fish taste?"

Lu Chuan heard Zhao Lin’s words and smiled. This woman only thinks about food.

However, they indeed have already entered Li River City’s area.

Li River City is also one of the cities in Jiang Province, named after the city is traversed by the longest river in the Dragon Country—the Li River.
