Chapter 159: Formal engagement!

Liu Xiaotian had originally planned to go see the Chief Instructor the next morning to ask about the identity of the person in the wheelchair, but he never expected that something would happen that very night.

Around 2 a. m., the alarm suddenly sounded in the room of the action squad's twenty-something soldiers, and everyone sprang up from their beds almost simultaneously.

Since moving into this separate dormitory building, everyone in the action squad has always slept fully clothed, not taking off their shoes and never letting go of their guns.

Although everyone had doubts, no one raised a question.

Because everyone knows that as soldiers, their duty is to obey.

Moreover, the Warrior School did not issue this order on its own; it was done with the consent of each person's national military, and only after each individual confirmed via video call with their direct superior did they temporarily become combat forces of the Warrior School.

At the same time, they all clearly understood the danger of this unknown mission.

There was no twitching, no sound, not even a flicker of the eyelids; the sentry who had merely lost consciousness lost all vital signs within three seconds.

At one, one look `none, one mistaken version%!'

The Elder Principal took a puff of his cigarette and, seeming to talk to himself, said, "Lao Chali, it's time to act."

Shang Ming's tone was light and casual, but upon hearing those words, Wang Qingshan's heart gave a sudden jolt.

Originally, after completing this mission, Xiezi was supposed to go to Shang Ming to receive the next assignment.

"Boss, I feel the timing isn't mature enough yet," Wang Qingshan suddenly turned his head and said to Shang Ming sitting in the back.

Compared to the black-clad figures who had silently killed the sentries and entered the Warrior School, this black shadow, which appeared somewhat hunched, moved noticeably faster.

Yet in such darkness, this slight sound failed to draw anyone's attention.

After all these years, he still hasn't had a friend who would stab him in the ribs for him.

Just when it was about five meters above the ground, the black shadow raised its right hand, and a flash of silver light shot out from the tip of its right hand, then flew toward the courtyard of the Warrior School.

Compared to the operation to capture Xiezi, this one is clearly far more dangerous.

At the exact moment his words fell, a shadow like a nimble monkey silently slid down the trunk of a coconut tree about ten meters tall, located nearest to the southwest corner wall of the Warrior School.

The same scene unfolded almost simultaneously at the Warrior School's other guard posts.

Even though two soldiers armed with AK-103 rifles were quickly passing by more than ten meters away, after the shadow slid down the coconut tree and landed, it merely leapt a few times and vaulted over the Warrior School's perimeter wall.

Moreover, Shang Ming's motive for rescuing Xiezi is not primarily to hire him for a mission; what matters is that he still has an old score to settle with the Warrior School, or rather with the Elder Principal.

At the same time, the Elder Principal, wearing pajamas, leaned against the headboard, picked up the gold pocket watch on the bedside table to check the time, then put it down and picked up his pipe.

"Do you still remember the 'Poison Sting' I mentioned to you?"

At the same time, his only right arm wasn't gripping the trunk; instead, he relied entirely on the strength of his legs to hook the trunk and slide down.

At the same time, on a watchtower at the northwest corner of the Warrior School, a sentry on duty suddenly collapsed silently, without even rousing the two patrolmen who had just exchanged greetings with him on the ground.

"But boss..."

Shang Ming slightly narrowed his eyes, lifted one eyelid, glanced at Wang Qingshan, then suddenly smiled and said, "I have my own arrangements; you don't need to worry." The smoke in the pipe was still burning, but a green point of light appeared at the mouthpiece.

Although the methods of killing varied, there was one point that was completely consistent.

Namely, the sentries who were killed never made the slightest sound from start to finish, not even the sound of falling.

Of course, if one claimed there was no vested interest, even Xiezi himself would find it hard to believe.

This grudge, which he has held for many years, has always felt like a thorn pressing on his heart; if not pulled out, he will never find peace.

And the man sitting in the back was none other than Shang Ming.

If Liu Xiaotian were here, he would surely recognize at once that this person is Wang Qingshan, codename "Gold Tuna," and also the father of Wang Yanbing.

Because the black shadow swiftly sliding toward the ground actually lacked a left forearm!

The black shadow lingered not a moment, then flipped down from the tower and swiftly vanished into the darkness.

As Shang Ming's "right-hand man" and "capable assistant," he naturally understood Shang Ming's character.

If anyone were looking up from beneath the tree at this moment, they would surely stare wide-eyed in astonishment.

But inside the vehicle, there were three men.

The difference was that he did not collapse silently; instead, he fell heavily, kicking up a cloud of dust.

No one saw that the black shadow, which had just killed the sentry by injecting a drug and was swiftly moving along the dark edge of the wall, suddenly collapsed just like the sentry it had slain.

The man in the passenger seat had Eastern features and eyes as sharp as a hawk's.

More importantly, the only part of the black shadow's face exposed was the left eye, which flashed with a cold gleam; the right eye was nothing but a shriveled socket…

At another edge of this small island, a military Humvee was parked beside a hill, engine off, making not a sound.

A few seconds later, a black shadow silently appeared, nimbly climbed the tower, took out a miniature syringe with its backhand, and inserted the needle into the left chest of the fallen sentry, injecting five milligrams of liquid directly into the heart.

But who would have thought that the ever-successful Xiezi would actually stumble at the Warrior School and be captured alive! After confirming the exact situation of Xiezi's mishap with his current employer, Liu Lao Da, Shang Ming immediately gathered personnel and rushed to this island to prepare a rescue.

Wang Qingshan still wanted to speak, but Shang Ming raised a hand to stop him: "I know what you want to say, but I said, I've already made arrangements.

Meticulous in thought, ruthless and cruel in action.

This "Poison Sting" was merely mentioned once by Shang Ming in a drunken chat several years ago; he only brought up the name and said nothing else about it.

Wang Qingshan had once brought up this "Poison Sting" in a situation report; at the time, Wen Changlin even convened a special meeting to study it, but ultimately found no clue whatsoever, making it impossible to determine where Shang Ming had hidden this "Poison Sting" or whom it targeted.

Now it appears unrelated to the East, but rather aimed at the Warrior School, or perhaps specifically at the Elder Principal…
