Chapter 65: The Journey (3)
At the forefront, in the leading jeep—
Zhao Zhenghong inspected his custom-made handgun with one hand. This weapon had been heavily modified, rendering it completely different from standard models. Its internal magazine was capable of loading multiple types of bullets to handle various situations.
For instance, Luminous bullets, tranquilizer rounds, explosive ammunition, and armor-piercing shells.
He had brought a mix of all these types for this mission. Custom bullets were costly, but they were essential when facing the unknown.
“White Python was skilled. His experience as a former courier made him adept at handling wilderness threats. Yet he still failed. That means we must be extra cautious,” Zhao Zhenghong muttered as he ejected the magazine, checking that it was fully loaded.
“Based on the latest intel, the post office near Baiqiu Village is still operational. That means people are still alive there. The Evil Shadow hasn’t completely wiped out the area,” Xu Yang, who sat beside him, said in a low voice.
“So it’s not the Evil Shadow… but human intervention?” Zhao Zhenghong’s sharp eyes narrowed slightly behind his glasses.
“Most likely. Either someone powerful is protecting that person, or they have their own plans for him. But something doesn’t add up—if an expert was involved, they wouldn’t just leave the target in place. They should have taken him away by now to avoid risks,” Xu Yang speculated.
“We’ll know soon enough.” Zhao Zhenghong swapped to another magazine, loading it with armor-piercing and explosive rounds.
