Chapter 48 Let's take action tonight

This was Lin Chen's first time visiting a gun store. In fact, it was the first time he had ever known that Yudu actually had a gun store.

Li Zhanyi dragged him to look at various guns and accessories. After receiving Shen Xuanyi's business card, the boss enthusiastically introduced them to the guns and accessories, and kept pulling them towards the flashy ones.

"...M157 fire control optical system! Variable magnification, laser rangefinder, ballistics calculator, atmospheric sensor! Even a child holding a gun for the first time can accurately hit distant targets!"

Lin Chen had played with this thing in the game; it could scan people hiding in the bushes. He never expected it to have so many fancy functions in real life.

"How much is this?" Lin Chen asked.

"Imported from Super America, just arrived last week. I'll sell it to you at cost price, 85000!"

Lin Chen made a move without hesitation.

Having spent two years honing his skills at the bottom, he would never waste time making excuses to say he would "take another look."

Even if he were to deduct the cost from Shen Xuanyi's account, he still felt it wasn't worth spending 85000 on a mirror.

"That thing is unreliable..." Li Zhanyi muttered under his breath. "Someone in the Second Division bought one before, and it broke down during a mission on a rainy day. Then he spent tens of thousands of yuan to repair it, and after that he just used it for fun at the shooting range..."

Hmm... it seems Commissioner Smith made quite a bit of money.

After browsing around for a while, the two of them chose what they wanted to buy.

Last week, after Lin Chen retrieved the projected shotgun, Section Chief Jiang gave him the real RBAI-1045 revolver shotgun, saying that this thing was destined for Lin Chen and would be his sidearm.

Therefore, Lin Chen did not buy a new gun. Instead, he bought a multi-functional laser pointer, a red dot sight, several quick-loading devices, and several boxes of 23mm buckshot for his revolver shotgun. He also bought a silencer for his pistol.

As for Li Zhanyi... she bought a whole bunch of throwing objects.

"I've come up with a tactic," Li Zhanyi said earnestly, looking at Lin Chen. "In an encounter, I'll throw a smoke grenade, hide in the smoke, predict the enemy's location, and then shoot them through the smoke."

"They're not even going to act anymore," Lin Chen complained.

Just as he was about to pay the bill, Li Zhanyi saw a pile of cold weapons hanging at the entrance.

As if she had just thought of something, she stood on tiptoe and took down a tactical hand axe hanging on the wall.

"How about this one?" Li Zhanyi handed the axe to Lin Chen. "I've noticed you're always using your fists to smash things; your fists are all injured from it."

"Actually, it feels alright?" Lin Chen took the axe, fiddled with it a couple of times, and said, "My fists are more than enough."

"Come on, what if you encounter a harder anomalous entity later? If you break an axe, you can just get a new one, but if you break your hand, can you get a new hand?"

Lin Chen thought Li Zhanyi's words made sense, so he bought the axe as well.

When checking out, Lin Chen looked at the cashier: the total cost was 7582 yuan.

Actual payment: 0 yuan.

It feels so good, like being kept by a rich woman.

On the street, Li Zhanyi walked ahead, while Lin Chen followed behind carrying a bag.

"Phew, can we go grab something to eat now?" The girl turned around and winked at Lin Chen. "The treasure shop isn't far from here anyway, let's walk over for afternoon tea and pick up our electric scooters while we're at it!"

"Okay, let's go."

Earlier in the car, Lin Chen sent the news of the successful cooperation to Section Chief Jiang. Section Chief Jiang told them to stand by, saying that the operation to breach the bunker would require at least a week of preparation time.

How leisurely... this class is...

The thought had barely crossed Li Zhanyi's mind when his phone rang.

She answered the phone:

"Feed? Old Jiang? What's wrong?"

"Shall we take action tonight?"

On the street, the two stopped and looked at each other.

......

Half an hour later, in the office of the Rapid Response Division 1.

"Half an hour after you met with Shen Xuanyi and confirmed the cooperation, Captain England Studio added a new schedule, deciding to break into the bunker tonight."

Jiang Zhengge stood in front of the information board and pasted the printed photo on it: it was a bunker located in the middle of nowhere.

"Internally, they defined this operation as 'humanitarian aid,' saying they were going to help United Concrete retrieve the Iron Cape Bridge files, but it's obvious to anyone with a brain that they were planning to destroy those files before we did."

"Why so fast?" Lin Chen frowned.

At noon, they finally confirmed their cooperation with Shen Xuanyi, agreeing to help her retrieve the files from the bunker.

In the afternoon, Captain England decided to take action that night.

"There are two possibilities," Jiang Zhengge said, looking at Li Zhanyi. "The first is that someone overheard your conversation."

"Absolutely impossible," Li Zhanyi shook his head. "During the rendezvous, I kept 'predicting' that no one could get close to that car."

"Have you checked for listening devices in the car?" Jiang Zhengge asked Lin Chen.

"We've checked, nothing." Lin Chen nodded.

After getting into the car, he observed every corner of the vehicle from the "Mirage City" and indeed found no listening devices.

"You little rascal, you've even learned how to detect listening devices?" Lucy raised her eyebrows.

"He should have that ability," Jiang Zhengge chuckled. "If no one can eavesdrop, then it means there's a mole within the Investigation Bureau."

"Really?" Li Zhanyi asked incredulously. "It's hard to turn our own people against us, isn't it?"

"This shows that the foundation's desperate struggle has begun, and they're starting to go all out," Jiang Zhengge said.

"Wait a minute," Lin Chen sensed something was wrong, "How did you know Captain England was going to make a move tonight?"

"Because I've also gone all out," Jiang Zhengge shrugged. "Do you think I've been sleeping all week? We've already planted our mole, and Louis has been working himself to death these past few days."

Goodness, they've even started playing spy games.

"In short, I've decided to bypass the director and act directly," Jiang Zhengge patted the intelligence board. "Tonight, we'll enter the bunker and obtain the files before Captain England."

"Operation codename: Breach the Barrier."

"The first team will lead the way, followed by the second team. I've spoken with Marcus, and he'll be bringing two squads with us."

At that moment, the office door was pushed open, and Lin Chen turned around to see Professor Jürgen walk in.

"Professor Jürgen will serve as our anomaly consultant," Jiang Zhengge said. "The situation is urgent, and we cannot conduct a comprehensive assessment of the ruins. We can only try to mitigate the threat as much as possible."

"It's alright, I've seen the files on this ruin before."

Professor Jürgen walked over to the information board, placed his phone on the table, and a few seconds later a photo was printed out.

The professor put the photo on the blackboard and turned to look at the crowd:

"Bunker Archives, depth 1.82, no official entry records."

"Civilian investigators have entered the ruins in multiple batches, some on their own initiative and others hired by United Concrete Group."

"Based on their report when they left the ruins, it has now been confirmed that there are high-risk anomalous entities in the ruins."

Professor Jürgen took out another photo and posted it on the information board.

Lin Chen looked at the information board: it showed a man in a well-tailored suit with eyes growing all over his highly decomposed head.

"Abnormal entity code: 'Archiver'".

"The risk level is tentatively set at... Gamma level."
