Chapter 418 A Big Shot from Haiwan City, of Unknown Rank
Chapter 418 A Big Shot from Haiwan City, of Unknown Rank
Lin Yuan's idea was certainly wonderful and could maximize the post-war gains, but the conditions were also much more demanding.
First, we need to take on greater risks; second, we need more intelligence.
In addition, the assistance and cooperation of the Gulf City are also essential.
However, Lin Yuan was not in a hurry. After all, the combined military forces of Japan and Alaska numbered close to 200,000. Even if they were to complete the initial preparations, it would still take them three to four days.
This period of time is enough for Lin Yuan to do a lot of work.
So in the next few days, besides continuing to monitor the battle between the zombies and survivors in the sealed-off city, Lin Yuan also continuously gathered intelligence from the perspective of the falcon and other domesticated creatures.
Jiang Qian's task is similar to Lin Yuan's.
So far, no information has been obtained about Richard and Yamamoto's connections with the high-ranking officials of the Sakura Kingdom, which is what Jiang Qian needs to do.
As for the other girls, they all devoted themselves to the construction of the base's protective wall.
In addition, Lin Yuan made many other arrangements. He summoned back most of the birds, locusts and other animals that were outside. Some of them were hidden in the buildings in Linhai City, and some were hidden in the wilderness and forests around Linhai City.
These will also be the most important step for Lin Yuan to realize his vision.
What puzzled Lin Yuan was that a day had passed, and there was still no movement from Haiwan City.
On the third day.
After Lin Yuan and the women got up, they were having breakfast and compiling various data and intelligence when the base's alarm system suddenly went off.
A series of urgent electronic voices rang out:
"Warning! Warning! Level C alert."
Jiang Qian was taken aback, not knowing what button she had pressed, but an image immediately appeared on the projector.
It turned out that at sea, an armed helicopter was hurtling towards the main base at an astonishing speed. The alarm was triggered by two factors: the radar system and the helicopter's speed…
This is almost equivalent to the armed helicopters that Lin Yuan purchased from the system.
However, when Jiang Qian zoomed in and discovered that the machine was engraved with the red mark of the Dragon Kingdom, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Based on the direction the helicopter came from, it most likely originated from Gulf City.
"Master, what do you mean?" Liu Yun asked.
"Looks like we're about to land." Lin Yuan also stood up. "Let's go, we should go out and meet the guests from Bay City."
As soon as Lin Yuan finished speaking, the surveillance footage indeed showed that the armed helicopter was parked above the main base.
Moreover, Tiger and Bald Wolf teams seemed to have also noticed something amiss; the armed helicopter was now surrounded by the base's armed forces.
However, the tiger and the bald wolf weren't stupid either. When they saw the official markings on the machine, they didn't fire rashly.
……
Above the main base.
"Boss!"
After Lin Yuan and the women reached the top via the elevator, Tiger, Bald Wolf, and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
"You may all leave. They must be guests from Haiwan City," Lin Yuan said calmly.
Gulf City?
guest?
Tiger, Bald Wolf, and the others were completely unaware of what had happened in Bay City and the Glass Islands, and looked utterly bewildered.
However, since Lin Yuan had already asked them to step aside, they quickly left with their soldiers.
So, only Lin Yuan, the women, and the armed helicopter that hadn't moved for a long time remained near the cliff by the sea.
"Click!"
After an unknown amount of time, the hatch was finally opened.
A middle-aged man with gray hair, a lean build, and wearing a military uniform jumped out of the helicopter. Although he was thin and somewhat old, his deep-set eyes shone with a sharp light, giving him a strong sense of pressure. His tightly pursed lips were like two sharp blades.
Even Lin Yuan was drawn to the newcomer's sharp aura.
Liu Yun and Xu Muqing, who were beside her, reacted even more strongly, taking a step forward almost simultaneously and giving a proper military salute!
Lin Yuan didn't ask any further questions, but after sensing the two women's consciousness, he realized what was going on.
It turns out that this person was a high-ranking officer in the navy. Although he belonged to a different military region and unit than Liu Yun and Xu Muqing, he was a very famous figure among the military. His rank was many levels higher than that of Liu Yun, the highest commander of the southern military camp.
Lin Yuan could only roughly obtain these memories and information, but he could basically judge that this man named Li Yan was very likely a core power figure in the current Haiwan City.
Li Yan simply nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over Liu Yun before finally settling on Lin Yuan.
"You're Lin Yuan? The guy who killed Han Dong, lifted the siege of Qiaodu, and even took over command of the southern army camp?" Li Yan chuckled.
Lin Yuan stepped forward, neither humble nor arrogant, and said, "Captain Li, what you said is incorrect. The highest commander of the Southern Army Camp is Liu Yun. As for killing Han Dong, that was his crime first. Lifting the siege of Qiaodu was simply a matter of helping one's compatriots as a Chinese citizen."
"Heh, young people always know how to talk. But no matter how eloquently you speak, isn't the actual control of the southern military camp still in your hands?" Li Yan said expressionlessly.
Lin Yuan just chuckled.
Facts can be facts, but some things cannot be said.
Li Yan chuckled: "You are indeed cautious, but it's right not to be greedy for fame. However, don't think that the authorities are unaware of these matters. Your taking control of the Southern Military Camp was the result of a vote from above, and it was also an attempt to usher in a new era. I was also present at that meeting."
This was not much different from what Lin Yuan had expected. He asked, "So, Captain Li, did you vote for or against it?"
“A new era demands new achievements, a concept I’ve always held. After the zombie outbreak, I led my troops to the Gulf immediately, not only solving the zombie problem but also transforming it into a major military stronghold. Wouldn’t you call that innovation?” Li Yan said. “So, do you think I’m in favor or against it?”
"Then I must thank Captain Li." Lin Yuan nodded, then took out a cigarette and handed it over.
Li Yan didn't stand on ceremony. He took the torch, lit it, took a deep drag, looked around, and said, "We've been keeping an eye on this place. It's well-built and the construction is progressing quickly. However, I'm quite interested in your main underground base. Would you show me around?"
"my pleasure!"
Lin Yuan said sincerely.
Although Li Yan was an official with a sharp, imposing presence, he lacked other formalities, which suited Lin Yuan's personality quite well. Besides, since Li Yan had expressed his appreciation for Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan couldn't very well remain aloof.
However, more than half an hour later, Li Yan, who had entered the main base with a big smile on his face, was no longer smiling after the tour.
His expression was even somewhat gloomy.
Lin Yuan was somewhat embarrassed and asked, "Captain Li, are you dissatisfied with my lifestyle?"
Li Yan smoked silently, his sharp eyes fixed on Lin Yuan, even beginning to show a hint of wariness and hostility.
"Captain Li, if you have something to say, please speak frankly."
Lin Yuan was also dumbfounded.
He thought to himself, "I kindly took you to visit my secret base, why did you turn on me?"
