Chapter 316: Nantianmen Project, the Weakness of the Reincarnator

A powerful wind pressure appeared from the sky, causing the sparse woods all around to sway and lean.

Over a dozen helicopters hovered at a low altitude, and then fully armed soldiers, clad in camouflage special operations gear, rappelled down from the aircraft.

Lin Qinfu and several other "local guides" who had been recruited stood together in the woods, watching this scene.

The soldiers descending from the ropes in perfect unison made the few of them swallow their saliva involuntarily.

This kind of military bearing was simply incomparable to the local armies in a place like Myanmar.

Whether it was the equipment, or the soldiers' physiques and spirit, it was completely not on the same level.

Even more terrifying was that in the woods behind them, a large amount of military supplies covered by camouflage netting had already been stored.

Even though they were in the Kokang region, Lin Qinfu had chatted with the local people of Kokang, and absolutely no one knew when these things had been delivered.

It was obvious that Dongxia had already made advance preparations for this operation, Lin Qinfu thought to himself; perhaps Bai Laoda's instruction for him to "tip off" the authorities was not the reason for this operation at all, and he had merely happened to be in the right place at the right time.

Subsequently, after this unit of less than a hundred people had completely landed on the ground, the helicopters quickly departed, and these soldiers, their faces obscured by camouflage, quickly came into the woods and began to open the covered crates.

A large amount of equipment never seen before was quickly donned before the astonished eyes of Lin Qinfu and the others.

Pitch-black drones rotated and ascended into the sky, their movements uniform and synchronized; under the operators' testing, they even rapidly changed formations in the air, arranging themselves into various shapes.

That level of coordination and control capability was completely different from any drones Lin Qinfu had seen on the internet.

Not only that, the soldiers began to wear special mechanical equipment on their bodies; those mechanical devices were like the frames of robots, wrapping around their torsos and limbs, with extensions even on their feet and hands.

It was very similar to the exoskeleton armor in the movies he had once watched.

After fully donning those exoskeleton armors, these soldiers all exceeded two meters in height, and with large firearms and various types of ammunition hanging from their arms, they looked nothing like the army he had in mind.

"Since when did Dongxia have these things..."

Lin Qinfu was a Dongxia native, but the scene before him made him feel that he was already very much a stranger to the motherland he had left over a decade ago.

It was as if when he left, the motherland was still working on poverty alleviation, but seeing it again now, the other side seemed to have undergone a complete stylistic change and was preparing to fight a Star Wars.

The other Burmese people looked at each other, staring blankly; the overly exaggerated gap made them unable to even feel fear.

"Everyone, there is no need to worry. We are only carrying out a special operation this time to rescue the large number of Dongxia people controlled by telecom fraud syndicates in the Kokang region, and it will absolutely not affect the Myanmar government or the lives of you local people."

A middle-aged man, also clad in camouflage, had a very warm smile on his face and looked quite easy to talk to; he took the initiative to speak to Lin Qinfu and the others.

Lin Qinfu and the others could only nod hesitantly; many among them, like Lin Qinfu, had themselves been engaged in or were currently engaged in some gray industries.

Behind the middle-aged man, a soldier with short hair and a face also painted black with camouflage walked over; he was not wearing the exoskeleton equipment, but instead carried a rather exaggerated long gun on his back.

The length of the gun barrel was nearly one meter, so it could only be carried diagonally.

"Political Commissar Wang, preparations are complete, we can launch the operation at any time!"

His gaze swept over Lin Qinfu and the others, with no warmth in his eyes.

Lin Qinfu only felt the other's gaze was exceptionally piercing, making him afraid to meet it, and he involuntarily looked away, but the middle-aged man called Political Commissar Wang walked to Lin Qinfu's side and said,

"This Mr. Lin provided us with an accurate coordinate, so why don't we have Mr. Lin follow you to carry out the operation there?"

Although it was a question, Lin Qinfu did not feel he had any choice at all.

His heart sank; the coordinate he provided was entirely given by Bai Laoda, and he didn't even know what that coordinate represented.

But Lin Qinfu dared not explain at this moment and could only lift his cane to indicate that he had difficulty moving.

The man gestured to the rear, and the next moment, a six-legged mechanical dog, half a person tall, walked out from behind the fully armed soldiers.

Each of the six mechanical feet had tracks, allowing it to move as if on flat ground in this environment; it moved quite quickly and arrived in front of Lin Qinfu.

"Sit on it."

Lin Qinfu tentatively sat on it, and the mechanical dog immediately began to move; Lin Qinfu discovered that this thing carried him just as steadily and quickly, following the troops as they moved through the woods.

This scene made him feel increasingly in awe of Dongxia's technological prowess.

Lin Qinfu and this special unit quickly traversed the dense forest, moving toward the coordinate location.

In the sky, drones shuttled through the dense forest; Lin Qinfu turned his head and, sure enough, saw that there were also several people sitting on the backs of mechanical dogs, wearing special glasses and holding control sticks in their hands.

It was obvious that these people were controlling the drones.

"Zhuque Formation 1 extending 3 kilometers to the east, image transmission function normal."

"Zhuque Formation 2 extending 3 kilometers to the south, image transmission function normal."

A large amount of information was constantly being transmitted within this special operations team formed specifically to target Reincarnators.

They did not know the name "Reincarnator," but through side inquiries and information searches, coupled with the hints from those official Reincarnators.

The task force of Dongxia's 【Nantianmen Project】 quickly summarized the response strategy for these special Ability Users.

These Ability Users had different abilities and varying strengths, and simultaneously possessed covert communication and relocation capabilities.

But no matter what their abilities were, they all had one common weakness—fear of exposure!

The task force did not know why this weakness existed, nor why this point could not be verified.

In existing records, there was absolutely no account of killing such Ability Users; in fact, in official records, there was absolutely no record of the deaths of those Ability Users.

Those people were like ghosts, appearing mysteriously and disappearing mysteriously.

For this reason, some people, based on the hints from official Ability Users, speculated that a special 【Cognitive Intervention】 existed here, which was a special effect that completely surpassed existing human technology.

All deceased Ability Users would be forgotten; even if recorded in images or text, it would be erased.

Therefore, this could explain why the authorities could not record the deaths of Ability Users.

At the same time, this 【Cognitive Intervention】 made the task force certain that the weakness of fearing exposure to the public eye was real, because there was a certain correlation between the two.

Following a simple scientific concept, they speculated that 【Cognitive Intervention】 also required the consumption of some kind of "energy," and the more people who knew about those Ability Users, the more "energy" was needed to perform 【Cognitive Intervention】.

These two conditions complemented and verified each other.

Therefore, the first phase of the Nantianmen Project for dealing with these Ability Users was the technological formation, utilizing special operations teams composed of cutting-edge technology to attack and force those Ability Users to use their abilities.

Simultaneously accompanied by a large number of drones, infrared cameras, and satellite imagery, they would expose the existence of the Ability Users and kill them.

This operational plan received the affirmation of almost all official Ability Users.

Today's operation was also decided upon by the Countermeasures Group inviting many Ability Users to join in.

The man not wearing exoskeleton armor walked beside Lin Qinfu; only then did Lin Qinfu notice that the other party was not relying on any equipment, yet just by walking on his own two feet, there was absolutely no sign of him falling behind.

At this moment, the mechanical dogs' movement speed was not slow, approaching perhaps 30 yards in Lin Qinfu's perception; this man... is not normal!

Zetsu of Heaven had a cold gaze, merely pressing his earpiece; he did not like the methods of the Final Great Sun, and even less could he tolerate these people destroying the current peaceful daily life.

In that space, there were too many lunatics who had lost themselves due to an obsession with power; such people have no need for persuasion.

Only slaughter can forge peace.

"Zhuque Formation 1 has reached the designated coordinates, no living targets observed, now initiating infrared scanning."

"Target discovered, quantity 3."

"Zhuque Formation 2 beginning to confirm target identities..."

Zetsu of Heaven shifted his gaze and took a deep breath; a faint scent of blood was drawn into his nasal cavity.

His eyes grew colder, and he spoke directly:

"Open fire, that is the target."

The next moment, the movement patterns of the large number of mechanical dogs changed; their uniform actions became irregular, and black gun barrels were lowered from their backs, beginning to aim forward.

These mechanical dog units were also equipped with cameras and transmission devices, moving rapidly through the dense forest.

Tata-tata-tata!

A low-pitched sound of gunfire suddenly erupted, followed by intense flashes of fire exploding from a patch of dense forest.

"Damn it, there are cameras, watch out!"

An angry roar emerged from the explosion, followed by a massive figure appearing from the flames; it was a giant humanoid creature over ten meters tall, its body appearing as if wrapped in armor.

Protecting its front with both hands, it crashed directly out of the forest.

Lin Qinfu stood frozen in place upon seeing this thing.

"What on earth... is this situation..."

He even wanted to rub his eyes to confirm he hadn't seen wrong.

However, the mechanical dog he was sitting on had already opened up to full power, carrying him in a retreat.

This giant seemed to capture the position of this team in an instant and charged over violently.

Zetsu of Heaven was not the least bit panicked, continuing to command:

"Zhuque Team is responsible for flanking, Qinglong Combat Team retreat into the forest."

The soldiers wearing exoskeleton armor immediately activated the electric motors on their bodies, running rapidly in all directions with a *bang-bang-bang*, and the entire team broke into smaller units in an instant.

The Reincarnator who had transformed into a giant smashed the ground violently, feeling increasingly desperate in his heart.

【You have triggered a Purge Mission, please kill all witnesses within 10 minutes, current number of witnesses: 746】

Can more than seven hundred people be hidden in this forest?

【You have triggered a Purge Mission, please kill all witnesses within 10 minutes, current number of witnesses: 811】

Watching the number continue to rise, he finally fell into complete despair; there must be hidden recording equipment synchronously transmitting the footage for more people to see.

It was already impossible for him to kill all the witnesses...

Damn it!
