Chapter 250: Finally Triggered, The First Ultimate Mission!
The woman’s office was in a small room on the third floor. This office was relatively remote, so few people came here.
Tang Chen had been hiding there for ten minutes. During these ten minutes, he had roughly learned about the woman’s information. Her name was Yue Hong, and she was from Shandong, China. After graduating from university, she came to the United States. Then, after going through many selections, she started working at the Pentagon, becoming an ordinary translator.
Since they were both Chinese, Tang Chen did not hide anything. He briefly told Yue Hong about the nuclear missile data and explained his purpose. After hearing this, Yue Hong was indeed very angry. In fact, as a Chinese person, anyone who heard about such a thing would be furious.
“So that’s how it is. Those Big Noses are really shameless. They actually stole our country’s technology, yet they have the nerve to boast every day that their country’s technology is the world’s leading.” Yue Hong said indignantly. As for her boyfriend, she had long forgotten about him.
Tang Chen casually smiled and said, “There’s no helping it. Those Big Noses are just that shameless. By the way, since you work here, do you know if there are any other exits in the Pentagon?”
Yue Hong said with a bitter smile, “You must have seen it when you came in. The security at the Pentagon is very tight. Even when we enter and leave normally, we have to go through multiple layers of checks. As for exits, there are some, but they require special passes. Otherwise, you’ll be discovered as soon as you go out.”
“Damn it, so Young Master is really trapped here?” Tang Chen frowned helplessly. He didn’t expect it to be so troublesome. It was all the System’s fault. Thinking of this, he started cursing the System’s ancestors in his heart again.
“Linda, oh, you’re here.” At that moment, the door opened, and a foreigner walked in. It was Yue Hong’s boyfriend, who had been knocked out by Tang Chen.
“Bruce, are you okay?” Yue Hong felt inexplicably guilty and quickly stepped forward to hug Bruce, asking with concern.
Bruce shook his head to indicate he was fine, then immediately spotted Tang Chen. He asked suspiciously, “Linda, who is she? Why is there a Chinese man here? What are you two doing in the office?”
Yue Hong hesitated, then said somewhat awkwardly, “Bruce, he’s my friend. He came here to see me. Please don’t tell anyone, okay?”
Bruce sneered, pushed Yue Hong away, and questioned, “Friend? Linda, you’re still so naive. You really can’t lie. I’ve met almost all of your friends. Where did this friend come from? Oh, I get it. No wonder you haven’t been intimate with me lately. You’ve taken a liking to him, haven’t you? You’re having an affair with him in the office, right!”
Slap!
Yue Hong slapped Bruce across the face, her face flushed with anger as she shouted, “How dare you say that! What do you mean by having an affair! Bruce, I thought you trusted me. I didn’t expect you to think of me like that. Am I really that despicable in your heart?”
“Stop acting! If it’s not an affair, why would you hit me for a Chinese man like him? I remember now. Earlier, the superiors notified us that a Chinese man broke in and stole the missile data, right? It’s him, isn’t it? Damn it, Linda! You’re having an affair with a criminal like this. You’ve ruined me!”
Bruce’s constant use of the word “affair” completely enraged Tang Chen. Just as he was about to stand up and knock this idiot out, he heard Yue Hong soften her tone and say, “Bruce, I beg you to believe me. He really is just my friend. It’s not what you think. You said you would trust me!”
“I don’t care! You adulterous couple! I’m going to tell the soldiers to arrest both of you!”
“Bruce, don’t!”
Bang!
Tang Chen stepped forward and kicked Bruce in the knee, then punched him to the ground. He stepped on Bruce’s hand and said coldly, “You’re asking for death!”
“Don’t, Tang Chen! He is my boyfriend, after all. Don’t kill him!” Yue Hong was quite devoted. She had been with Bruce for three years, and after all, they had deep feelings. She couldn’t bear to watch Tang Chen kill Bruce.
“Die!”
Just as Tang Chen was distracted, Bruce pushed him away, rushed out the door, and pulled the alarm on the wall while shouting, “Someone! The Chinese man is here! The Chinese man is here!”
“Don’t shout, Bruce!” Yue Hong didn’t expect Bruce to be so heartless. He actually called the soldiers over. In a panic, she tried to stop Bruce, but he had already run out.
“Forget it, Yue Hong. I’ll leave now. I can’t drag you into this.” Although Tang Chen was angry with Bruce, he didn’t blame Yue Hong. The alarm had already sounded, and the guards would arrive soon. He had to leave immediately.
Tap, tap, tap!
“Oh no, they’re already here.” The sound of footsteps quickly approached. With just a quick glance, Tang Chen saw over twenty special forces team members carrying guns rushing over from around the corner of the corridor.
“Over there! Open fire!” The team leader shouted, and then a group of soldiers aimed their guns at Tang Chen and fired together.
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
Bullets shot out densely. Tang Chen grabbed Yue Hong and rolled into the office. With one strong move, he blocked the door with a desk, hoping to hold them off for a while.
“Report, we found the Chinese criminal in Zone C. We’ve trapped him in an office now. There’s also a building employee inside the office. What should we do?” The team leader spoke into the Walkie-Talkie to Tom on the other end, waiting for Tom’s instructions.
Tom quickly replied, “Capture him immediately. I’m bringing the main forces right away. If the Chinese man resists, kill him on the spot. Don’t give him a chance to use any hostages against us.”
“Yes, Commander!” The team leader put the Walkie-Talkie back into his pocket and said to his subordinates behind him, “Breacher, breach the door. Prepare flashbangs. We’re capturing him now.”
“Yes, sir!”
Two special forces team members rolled on the ground and crawled forward. They were holding small explosives specifically used for breaching doors, which weren’t very lethal.
The atmosphere in the office seemed to freeze instantly. Tang Chen felt his heartbeat quicken. He whispered to Yue Hong, “Those Big Noses are definitely going to breach the door and kill their way in. When that happens, I’ll charge out. You stay here quietly. If they arrest you, just say you were threatened by me. Understand?”
Yue Hong shook her head and said firmly, “No, I’m Chinese too. I can’t do something like that.”
“Damn it, woman! I’m doing this for your own good!”
Bang!
Just as he spoke, a faint explosion sound was heard. The door was blown open by the explosives, and then several small flashbangs were thrown inside.
“Flashbang, damn it!” Tang Chen agilely dove forward and rolled, then picked up the flashbang from the ground and threw it at the special forces team members at the door.
Crack!
The flashbang suddenly exploded. The intense light at such close range instantly blinded both breachers.
Hah!
Tang Chen growled angrily, snatched the guns from the two men’s hands, turned the guns around, and continuously fired at their abdomens. A burst of gunfire later, their abdomens were riddled like honeycombs.
“Damn it!” Tang Chen pushed the two corpses out with force, then pointed his gun at the special forces team members who were just about to peek out.
Tap, tap, tap!
Two more special forces team members were shot in the head. The others also opened fire, trying to suppress him with their firepower.
Tang Chen sat against the corner of the wall and signaled Yue Hong to come to his side. Without looking, he fired a burst of shots at the special forces team members. After running out of bullets, he threw the gun with a whoosh at the special forces team members. At the same time, he held Yue Hong and prepared to roll toward the stairs.
“Watch out!” Yue Hong exclaimed. She saw a sniper aiming his gun at Tang Chen’s head and pulling the trigger.
With courage from who knows where, Yue Hong used her strength to switch her and Tang Chen’s positions. Her head pressed down on Tang Chen’s head, and at that very moment, a bullet passed through her head, splattering blood everywhere.
Tang Chen was stunned. The expression on Yue Hong’s face gradually stiffened. Her pupils dilated instantly, and her body lost its temperature…
“Yue Hong!” Tang Chen screamed hoarsely. Yue Hong was dead? She died to save him?
“Ding! The Host’s emotions are on the verge of exploding. Therefore, the ultimate mission is activated. Mission content: Destroy the Pentagon, make the Pentagon disappear from the world forever. Mission success reward: the Host receives one Edgeless Dagger, which can cut through anything in the world. Mission failure: the Host and Yue Hong die together!”
