Chapter 749: Ludicrous Bragging

Going to Mist Source Island this time, Tang Xiu did not bring a lot of men. In addition to Mo Awu who usually followed him, there were only ten other guards. Despite knowing that there were many unknown enemies he was confident that he could completely destroy them.

Nonetheless, he still made a few phone calls on the way to the Garrison Base. Aside from the class-in-charge teacher, Han Qingwu, asking for leave, he also spoke to Xue Yu and Li Laoshan, who had been busy recently, saying that he would find the time to drink with him later. He wanted to invite Li Laoshan for a meal, but he was in a hurry to leave Shanghai, hence called the man ahead of time.

When Tang Xiu got off the car, he saw the tall and straight posture of Hu Zhenfeng, who was donned in his military uniform, as he then headed straight toward the man. Following that, he took out the green book and directly spoke, “I’m Tang Xiu. We need to immediately rush to Mist Source Island. This is the document.”

Hu Zhenfeng took the green book and looked at it a few times, saying, “I’ve received orders from my superior to use this military helicopter to send us to Nanxia Province. We’ll then have to board a ship to Mist Source Island. We’ll be arriving there before evening if the trip goes smoothly.”

“We can’t fly straight there?” Tang Xiu frowned.

“No flights can travel to and from Mist Source Island according to the Military Aircraft Agreement,” Hu Zhenfeng shook his head. “The Air Defense Division has an intercontinental armed system in Mist Source Island. Once a plane is closing about 50 kilometers with 400 meters of altitude, it will be identified as an enemy and shot down.”

“The military helicopters are not an exception either? Isn’t there also a fighter plane there?” Asked Tang Xiu.

“No. Thing is, there’s something unsuited there,” Hu Zhenfeng shook his head.

“What is this something, exactly?” Asked Tang Xiu.

“It’s a strange magnetic field that shrouds an area of dozens of kilometers in the vicinity of Mist Source Island. Any unit with a measuring device will malfunction if it enters the area. Furthermore, there’s a thick, heavy fog around Mist Source Island. We found that the island only had its fog dissipated for two hours every day ever since we discovered the island. Hence, we can only enter and exit Mist Source Island during these two hours.”

Is it a formation array?

Tang Xiu thought for a few seconds. Then, he nodded and said, “Forget it and let’s go now! Anyways, can this chopper take these many people?”

“With the 2 pilots in the cockpit, only 10 people can board the cabin. I did not know how many men you’d be taking with you, so I only asked the Military Region to prepare this helicopter. I can apply to add one more now, though,” said Hu Zhenfeng.

“Then I’ll have to trouble you,” Tang Xiu nodded.

Two minutes later, two military SUVs roared and stopped nearby as seven soldiers clad in camo uniform jumped off the car. They put down the camo bag they brought, saluted Hu Zhenfeng and said, “Phantom Combat Squad’s Captain Yu Shuqing reporting to Senior Officer, Sir!”

After returning the ceremony, Hu Zhenfeng smiled and said, “After receiving the order from the top brasses, I knew I’d see you again, old comrades! Your Phantom Special Combat Squad has made admirable distinguished services to the country over the years, and even the Senior Officer hasn’t run out of praises for you all!”

“It’s our duty to serve for the country, Sir,” said Yu Shuqing with a smile.

Hu Zhenfeng nodded and his eyes swept the other six members of Phantom Special Combat Squad. He then nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, “I’m completely relieved to have your special operations team come with me to Mist Source island. Shuqing, let me introduce you to Tang Xiu, who is in charge of the incidents on Mist Source Island. All members of Phantom Special Combat Squad are now to take command from him.”

Yu Shuqing frowned, but still saluted to Tang Xiu, “Phantom Special Combat Squad’s Captain Yu Shuqing reporting to the leader, Sir!”

There was a bit of anger in the eyes of the other six members of the special operation teams behind him. They could tell that Mo Awu and the rest were very extraordinary when they arrived. More so that they could smell a faint bloody scent from their bodies that gave off quite a sense of threat even to them. But Tang Xiu was too young. The squad had always acted alone, and now that they were suddenly assigned to be under the command of an unknown young man… this greatly dissatisfied them.

Tang Xiu indifferently nodded and said, “I don’t need any other helpers actually. But since you already accepted orders, it’d be rude if I were to decline and sent you back. When we get on Mist Source Island, I’ll talk to the Military Supervisor there to make you stay in the base.”

A cold glint suffused in Yu Shuqing’s eyes as he said coldly, “You’re crazy!”

Tang Xiu shook his head and straightly ignored him. He went toward Hu Zhenfeng and led Mo Awu, Jin Shi, and the rest to board the military helicopter, leaving only two experts of the Everlasting Feast Hall behind.

“Boss, I have once dealt with someone from this Phantom Special Combat Squad,” Xue Sha spoke to Tang Xiu in a low voice after they sat down in the cabin.

Tang Xiu’s brows were raised as he asked, “When was that?”

“When I found Mouse,” said Xue Sha. “A member of this Phantom Special Combat Squad tracked us down and was intercepted by me. He did not see my appearance, though, so they didn’t recognize me.”

Tang Xiu understood in a flash as he smiled and said, “It seems like they are the ones who fought with those people from the SOE company in Shanghai. If not for our special identity, this Phantom special force is probably regarded as very powerful to ordinary people.”
