But Commander, the four of us need some time to move around the city.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Hezhi Army understood at once and granted the four a two-month leave for free movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Scorpion’s special forces and their behind-the-scenes organization had repeatedly clashed with them; eliminating Scorpion was inevitable, and Hezhi Army knew how to weigh priorities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lone Wolf A’s team leader, upon receiving Hezhi Army’s personnel transfer list, smiled lightly at Guo Jing and Zhang Chu’an:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like Nie Huaishang’s got some favor with the Commander—he just casually pulled two of my best men right out from under me before I even got them warm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Old Doghead Gao’s tone dripped with envy toward Nie Huaishang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jing quickly interjected:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle Gao, as soldiers, we must always be ready for battle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, you four are old acquaintances—working together will ensure mission success.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Doghead Gao immediately agreed, then gave them the go-ahead to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Guo Jing and Zhang Chu’an depart, Sergeant Chen, who was training nearby, curiously asked: “I wonder what mission these guys are on—must be big.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sergeant Chen stared at Guo Jing and Zhang Chu’an, his eyes filled with unmistakable envy—they were all platoon leaders in the Night Tiger Recon Company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to pass rigorous assessments to join, yet Zhang Chu’an and Guo Jing had become their instructors straightaway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he knew Guo Jing and Zhang Chu’an’s abilities far surpassed his own—after all, both had defeated Old Doghead Gao in combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two left the camp and headed to the Red Cell team’s base to meet up with Nie Huaishang and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Over here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Guo Jing and Zhang Chu’an arrive, Nie Huaishang waved excitedly at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We haven’t seen each other since we entered the camp.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jing couldn’t help but sigh as he looked at Nie Huaishang and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This time, the four of us have two months to hang out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Huaishang said happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they chatted, the four walked toward the train station; to avoid leaking secrets, they still chose to discuss plans in their group chat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jing: “The first key to this operation is finding Wang Yadong’s store’s escape route.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Huaishang: “According to the plot, the escape route is by the sea—let’s search along the coast.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four then took a vehicle to the seaside near Wang Yadong’s store and began searching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After searching for hours, they finally found the escape route described in the plot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exhausted from the long search, they sat down on the ground with no dignity left; Zhang Chu’an panted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m dead tired—this Wang Yadong guy hid the exit pretty well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“True, otherwise we wouldn’t have spent so long looking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jing nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But now that we’ve found the secret passage, all this effort was worth it—what’s next?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Xiaofan asked Nie Huaishang beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Huaishang paused, then said: “Minister Wen of the Ministry of Public Security has been investigating Wang Yadong—when Scorpion arrives at the store, they’ll surround it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhang Chu’an quickly asked: “So for the next few days, we’ll pose as vacationing tourists and stay at a nearby guesthouse?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jing: “Good idea—but we need someone to observe Wang Yadong’s store. As soon as the SWAT team surrounds it, they’ll contact us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Huaishang immediately volunteered: “I’ll handle it—I’m good at counter-surveillance; Wang Yadong won’t spot me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They trusted Nie Huaishang’s disguise completely—he was born to be an actor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Nie Huaishang went alone to a hotel near Wang Yadong’s store and checked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Zhang Chu’an focused on cultivation—he currently could only activate his Thunderbolt Membership for one minute, and in the Luotian Grand Ceremony, he could extend it to five minutes thanks to his Old Farmer Art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't cultivated much here to conceal his identity as a Yiren, and even when he did, his efficiency was extremely low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one minute was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Huaishang also arrived at Wang Yadong’s store, but he only glanced from afar, then rented a room at a nearby hotel for a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He periodically observed Wang Yadong’s movements; before long, half a month passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One day, Nie Huaishang was once again loitering near Wang Yadong’s military goods store when a man wearing mirrored sunglasses brushed past him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s reek of blood and his agile gait made Nie Huaishang, with his acute perception, immediately suspect the man had killed many people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Huaishang didn’t look back, fearing he’d draw attention—this was downtown; any fight would cause heavy civilian casualties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he didn’t look, he closed his eyes and sensed the man’s position—in his perception, the man had slowly walked near Wang Yadong’s military store.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Huaishang thought inwardly: “This must be Scorpion, Ruan Wenxiong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Huaishang didn’t leave—he fixed his gaze on the military store. As soon as Scorpion exited the front door, he’d alert the police to move in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he couldn’t forget the most crucial step—he had to message Zhang Chu’an and the others in the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Huaishang: “Guys, hurry to the escape route and lie in wait for Scorpion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chu’an: “Received.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chu’an immediately rose and called Guo Jing and the others to grab their gear and head to the escape route to lie in wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jing and Zhang Xiaofan aimed their sniper rifles at the escape passage; Zhang Chu’an sat nearby in meditation, sensing the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Wang Yadong arrived at his military goods store as usual. Before opening the door, he sensed someone was already inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned around—and saw the man gesture for silence with a finger to his lips. Wang Yadong froze as if struck by lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never expected Ruan Wenxiong would come here in person to find him.\u003C\u002Fp>",1136,"2026-06-20T13:48:22.834Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","f97f29db74ef8fae6f6c05d62c09145dc0ad1ca252211848839ef2a9ec551f4b","from-special-forces-to-the-multiverse-chapter-36","from-special-forces-to-the-multiverse-chapter-34",205,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffrom-special-forces-to-the-multiverse-cover.jpg"]
