Chapter 654 - 655 Infiltration (24)
Before carrying out a mission, they always have a hearty meal. That way, even if they die during the mission, they will die as a well-fed ghost!Life is already tough for them; if they died as a starving ghost, that would be truly tragic!
Moreover, among mercenaries, there is a saying: for those who have stained their hands with the blood of countless people, if they die hungry, the torture they endure in the Underworld will be even more severe, and they will have no good results in their next life!
Is it superstition?
But when a person lives year after year battling life and death, racing against death, living with their head tied to their belt, uncertain of whether they will see tomorrow's sunrise, having a belief is always better!
After eating and drinking to their fill, they rented four vans, driving east along the main road of Salt City!
On the east side of Salt City, there is a small village, one that doesn't even appear on Huaxia's map, and this is the destination of their mission!
The Black Moon headquarters, sought by many organizations and nations, is situated in this tiny village!
The Black Moon headquarters is located in a small mountain village near Salt City; every individual here is a member of Black Moon. The village has only one entrance and exit to the outside world, guarded by Black Moon members twenty-four hours a day!
Usually, Black Moon members are like ordinary villagers, working from sunrise to sunset, indistinguishable from common people to outsiders!
But once a mission arises, every Black Moon member in the village instantly transforms into ruthless killers!
About half an hour later, Yun Hao and the others got off the vans and slipped into a slightly dilapidated courtyard on the outskirts of Salt City. When they emerged, each had changed clothes and was armed with the latest developed, high-destructive power repeating crossbows!
"It is now 9 o'clock; approximately at 11 o'clock, we will reach the outskirts of Sheep Horn Village. There will be Black Moon members guarding there, so upon arrival, scatter and stay hidden! I'll infiltrate first to scout the situation; wait for my command!"
Yun Hao checked the time and then instructed everyone.
Seeing that everyone understood his instructions, Yun Hao made a hand gesture, and everyone abandoned the vans, choosing a path rarely traveled, heading hurriedly towards Sheep Horn Village!
The reason for abandoning the vehicles was to avoid becoming conspicuous and being detected by Black Moon members!
At noon, as planned, they arrived at the outskirts of Sheep Horn Village. Yun Hao first quietly climbed a tree, observing the hidden Black Moon members around and getting a vague idea of their positions!
He quietly returned to Xuan Yi and Seductive Snake, sharing his observations briefly with them, and then they instructed the rest to spread out methodically, hiding and waiting for a critical strike!
"Be cautious on the outskirts, I'll go in to gather intelligence; if you haven't received my command by 5 o'clock, immediately withdraw without any hesitation!" Yun Hao solemnly said to the two.
"I want to go in with you!" Seductive Snake suddenly insisted on looking at Yun Hao!
"No, bringing you in will slow me down!"
"I must go in with you; don't worry, I won't slow you down!"
"I said no, and that's final. This is an order; as the captain of the Thunder Mercenary Corps, I command you to stay here on standby!" Yun Hao, for the first time, invoked his identity as captain to force Seductive Snake to stay put!
Then Yun Hao turned around and walked towards Sheep Horn Village!
Although there is only one road, there are mountains on both sides. However, with many hidden sentries on the mountains, due to their rank, detecting Yun Hao's presence would be challenging if he deliberately avoids them!
Without any obstructions, Yun Hao arrived within the village, looking at the rows of houses, he furrowed his brow quietly!
Damn, with so many houses, which one does Black Moon Immortal live in?
Or even finding the Left Envoy's residence would be good!
Damn it, am I supposed to find each one by knock? If I accidentally find the house where Black Moon Immortal lives, won't I be walking right into the lion's den!
Suddenly, a glint flashed in Yun Hao's deep eyes, as he had guessed which house Black Moon Immortal might reside in!
The house located at the innermost part of the village was noticeably taller than the others, and its exterior was better decorated than the rest!
Seems like this is the house where Black Moon Immortal lives!
It was akin to the ancient Mongolian tents, the largest and highest one would surely be the Khan's residence!
Cautiously infiltrating the village, upon reaching the first house at the village entrance, Yun Hao quietly climbed into the courtyard and then cautiously approached the window, listening to the sounds within the room!
"Hey, heard that Old Zhao and the others have gone out on a mission recently, hooking up with tons of chicks, damn, so enviable!"
"What's there to envy? In a while, our group will go out on a mission, then I can have a blast too; I want to take on three at once, oh no, seven!"
"Come on now, with your tiny little bird, seven? You probably can't handle even one!"
These were two sleazy men; after eavesdropping for a while, Yun Hao didn't gain any useful information, so he labeled them as sleazy!
Moreover, through observation, Yun Hao could confirm that their strength was weak, roughly equivalent to Dragon Scale Silver Medal members!
Stealthily leaving the courtyard as he came, Yun Hao continued, slipping into several other courtyards and arriving at one located in the central part of the village!
There, Yun Hao discovered the distribution of Black Moon members within the village; the closer to the village exterior, the weaker their strength. From outside to inside, the strength and rank of Black Moon members increased, from ordinary members equal to Dragon Scale Silver Medal members to the innermost Black Moon leader, Black Moon Immortal!
But if sorted like this, the Left Envoy is likely residing in the house next to Black Moon Immortal, making it a bit troublesome!
Though Yun Hao was highly skilled, if he stealthily infiltrates and gets a bit too close, not just Black Moon Immortal, even the Left and Right Envoys would certainly detect him!
