Chapter 1742: Infiltration (Seeking Subscriptions)_1

And Xu Lizhi, who was in charge of handling the aftermath, looked at the two soldiers in front of him and fell into contemplation...

Muttering to himself, "Seems like this might buy us some more time..."

He then quickly stripped one of the soldiers of their armor and hurriedly put it on...

Even though he was somewhat overweight, it didn't impede his movements...

After finishing this, Xu Lizhi struggled to drag the two soldiers into the confinement room and put the Soul Suppressing Handcuffs and Spiritual Confinement Helmet on them from the floor...

Of course, he didn't forget to gag them!

Otherwise, if they were to cry out for help, things would get troublesome!

Looking at the two soldiers collapsed on the floor inside, Xu Lizhi closed the door to the confinement room with a shove, patted his hands, and sighed, "Done, I hope Sister Xinglan and the others can be faster over there..."

...

Tang Wulin and the others were slowly walking along the wall, but when they arrived at the exit ahead, they suddenly stopped...

Ye Xinglan asked doubtfully, "Wulin, what should we do now? There should be some sort of imaging device or something in this corps. Once we show ourselves, we might be recognized!"

Yue Zhengyu suggested, "Why don't we quietly attack those soldiers and take their armor? We're not staying long anyway—just need to find the flying soul device!"

Yuanen Yehui said solemnly, "No! The area is under surveillance, and if we act, we will definitely be exposed!"

Xu Xiaoyan hesitated, "I think we should try another way. Attacking these soldiers is very different from just knocking them unconscious!"

Wu Siduo snorted, "Hmph, the higher-ups of this corps are all from the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy. In their eyes, it's all the same!"

Xie Xie curled his lips upward confidently, "Don't worry, everyone, luring them over is very simple! Leave it to me!"

The next second, before the others could stop him, he released his Shadow Clone, which slipped past the Guard soldiers like a ghost...

"Whoosh..."

One of the soldiers turned around and scratched his head in confusion, "Did something just fly past us?"

The other soldier shrugged his shoulders, "Impossible, those locked up in the confinement room are all wearing Soul Suppressing Handcuffs, how could they sneak past us without making a noise!"

The former paused, chuckled, and said, "That's true! It was probably just my imagination."

Xie Xie, who had watched this unfold, grumbled unhappily, "Damn it, it didn't work. These guys are really too carefree!"

Tang Wulin sighed, "Let me handle it."

The next second, he stomped on the ground, producing a faint tremble...

Hearing this sound, the two soldiers suddenly became alert...

"There's something fishy over there; let's go take a look!"

"Yeah, but be careful. Maybe one of the prisoners has escaped!"

Quickly focusing on the direction the sound came from, they took out their close-combat weapons and moved cautiously...

When they reached the end and saw only the smooth wall in front of them, they both let out a quiet sigh of relief, "Phew... Nothing there after all!"

"Indeed, you scared me there. If a dangerous fugitive had escaped, we wouldn't stand a chance!"

Little did they know, Tang Wulin and the others who had appeared behind them at some point were all showing mischievous smiles...

...

Xie Xie patted his chest, which echoed with a "buzzing" sound, and bragged, "You know, this armor fits me quite well. Maybe becoming a soldier wouldn't be such a bad idea after all!"

Yue Zhengyu said with disdain, "Yeah, right, like you would ever be a soldier!"

Xie Xie lifted his chin, "What's that supposed to mean? You look down on me? People from your Holy Angel Clan would wish to become soldiers and they can't even do it!"

Yue Zhengyu said scornfully, "Psh, right. Under normal circumstances, we directly assume officer positions. Not like some people who have to start off as privates!"

The Holy Angel Clan's people are not incapable of being soldiers, but disdain to be soldiers!

If they really set their minds to it, the starting point for the newly enlisted would already be someone else's end point!

Yuanen Yehui's tone turned cold, "With the situation being so dangerous right now, there's no need for any more quarrelling!"

Yue Zhengyu and Xie Xie turned their heads together, ceasing their conversation...

It was only then that Tang Wulin spoke up, "Let's all try to act natural later on; leave the rest to me!"

Following that, the group formed a square formation and strode out with heads held high...

Unsurprisingly, they were confronted by other soldiers...

They saw the soldiers pointing their soul weapons at the group and heard the cold shout, "Halt, which zone are you from? Don't you know you're not allowed to roam around here willy-nilly?"

Tang Wulin quickly interjected, "Sorry, we are newcomers just sent here and are not very familiar with this place. We only know we're responsible for Zone C!"

Luckily, he had noticed earlier that this place was divided into zones!

Otherwise, it would have been a complete disaster!

The soldiers looked at each other, clearly surprised...

"Responsible for Zone C? Does that place really need more people now?"

"Maybe the other zones are already full?"

"Who knows? Just stay put in Zone C and don't wander off!!"

"Yes, yes, thank you for the reminder; we'll leave immediately..."

Despite saying so, they awkwardly stood in place...

The rest of the group behind him didn't make any other moves either...

This scene caused the closest soldier to roll his eyes, "Come on, you new recruits, don't tell me you don't even know where Zone C is?"

Tang Wulin hung his head, "Please enlighten us, senior!"

The soldier gestured ahead, "Just go out this door, then up to the third floor, that's where Zone C is. Really, have the recent newcomers all been this dumb?"

"Scram, scram, scram, don't disturb our duty!"

Without any change in expression, Tang Wulin gave a look to the others, and they immediately left in the direction pointed out by the soldier...

Once they were gone, the few soldiers began to debate, "Why do I feel that was really odd? Newcomers are not usually that dumb!"

"Hmm, the last time newcomers arrived was many years ago!"

"Wait, should we confirm with headquarters just in case...?"

"No need, our guard is strict here, and with all incoming personnel wearing Soul Suppressing Handcuffs, there's no way they can escape! Those guys are just plain dumb!"

...

Xie Xie swallowed hard, "I was scared to death just now, but Wulin, how did you know about Zone C?"

Before Tang Wulin could reply, Ye Xinglan pointed at the huge red 'A' on the wall beside them...

Understanding the situation, Xie Xie then sulkily said, "Alright, never mind the question, hehehe!"

Tang Wulin gave him a sidelong glance and said, "Right now, we need to find where the flying soul devices are stored. Searching all together will be very time-consuming, so I suggest we search in pairs for efficiency and mutual support!"

"I assume there are no objections?"

...
