Chapter 326: Mystical Lady 【148】
The White Lotus Society headquarters constructed over thirty observation zones.
In each observation zone, there is a corridor for passage, equipped with numerous cameras to observe every situation from all angles.
"It’s still a long way to the experimental zone from here." Looking at the map given by Li Jing’Er, Wang Longhu felt a bit troubled.
According to the map, the surroundings of the White Lotus Society headquarters are formed by a full circle of observation bodies.
The interior is then a defensive wall separating the observation zones from the residential area for internal personnel.
To enter the interior, one must cross this wall, and beyond the wall lies the experimental and various functional zones of the White Lotus Society.
If one wants to find Oda Hongxin, it would definitely be more successful to search in the experimental zone.
However, the problem Wang Longhu faced was that the patrols near this wall were simply too many.
Just in the ten minutes after exiting the botanical garden, Wang Longhu had already seen no fewer than seven groups of White Lotus Society personnel.
It must be said, the White Lotus Society truly lives up to its reputation as a top martial artist force in East Asia, with such defensive strength that ordinary people simply cannot infiltrate their headquarters.
Swoosh!
Seizing an opportunity from a gap, Wang Longhu lunged forward with all his might, reaching the base of the defensive wall at a speed of over 7 meters per second, climbing up directly with hands and feet.
This wall was constructed from white stone with some linear indentations on the surface, just right for Wang Longhu to use as leverage.
In no time, he reached the top of the wall, meeting eyes with a uniformed young man with a rifle.
In an instant, before the other could react, Wang Longhu swiftly twisted the man’s head with both hands, silencing him on the spot.
The uniformed young man wore a military-style uniform with a red lotus emblem on the chest.
Picking up the man’s body, Wang Longhu quickly vaulted over the wall into the inner area.
Compared to what Wang Longhu had seen from the outermost area of the White Lotus Society headquarters, the inner buildings appeared even older, with the floor tiles showing signs of age and weathering.
Even though Wang Longhu wasn’t from an archaeology background, he could instantly sense the history of this place.
In terms of historical origins, the White Lotus Society is indeed the oldest of the three major martial artist forces.
Finding an unoccupied room, Wang Longhu exchanged clothes with the corpse, then placed it under a long-dusty cabinet.
In such a situation, unless someone conducts a thorough search, it would be hard to discover it.
Confirming he hadn’t exposed any flaws, Wang Longhu left the room, cautiously heading toward the experimental zone as indicated on the map.
However, what Wang Longhu didn’t know was that the entire White Lotus Society headquarters had already sounded a level-one alert.
...
Botanical Garden.
A group of men in black military uniforms stood next to Observation Body No. 1’s corpse, frowning as they scrutinized the cause of death.
As the elite security department of the White Lotus Society, every member who could join the Black Lotus Team was a practitioner of the Dark Force.
Their status was equivalent to the Guardians of the Heaven and Earth Alliance.
"Killed in one move, definitely an expert." A Black Lotus Team member said gravely, "Any anomalies discovered on the surveillance end, do we have footage of the culprit?"
"The tech team checked it out; most of the cameras in the botanical garden were destroyed, only one camera captured a blurry figure, but it’s impossible to discern any features," another Black Lotus Team member replied.
"No. 1 died at this location; if we calculate the time, that intruder should have already left the botanical garden. He might enter the inner city, quickly notify the Red Lotus Team in the inner city to seal off every exit, and arrest any unfamiliar faces."
...
Wang Longhu walked on a deserted path, according to the map given by Li Jing’Er, this path was a shortcut to the experimental zone.
Moreover, the patrols passing this way were far fewer than on the main road.
Bang bang bang.
From the corner ahead, a series of footsteps approached, and Wang Longhu’s heart instantly tensed up.
It wasn’t that he was afraid of being discovered, but the subsequent consequences would be too significant.
Once his tracks were exposed, it would not be easy to kill Oda Hongxin.
But at this moment there was no other choice, Wang Longhu could only calmly continue forward.
Soon, a squad of ten came from around the corner, all holding rifles and wearing uniforms identical to Wang Longhu’s.
"Hmm?" The Red Lotus Team’s squad leader looked at Wang Longhu with a hint of suspicion, but seeing his calm demeanor without any sign of panic, he brushed it off and walked past Wang Longhu.
Just then, an urgent voice suddenly came through the squad leader’s earpiece.
"This is Black Lotus Team 3, we have found that the intruder may have already left the botanical garden, and most likely entered the inner city. Any patrol team that sees a stranger or someone alone, please control them immediately and notify nearby for reinforcements,
"Attention! Attention! The target is extremely dangerous, do not underestimate him!"
Upon hearing the voice in his earpiece, the Red Lotus Team’s squad leader suddenly turned his head, staring at Wang Longhu with shock in his eyes.
The White Lotus Society headquarters had at least three thousand Red Lotus Team members, as a squad leader, it was naturally impossible for him to remember everyone’s face.
But at this moment, the standard of being alone perfectly matched Wang Longhu’s situation.
"Catch him!" The Red Lotus Team’s squad leader instinctively shouted.
