Chapter 101: Chapter 101: Capture (Fifth request for subscription)

Lin Xing traveled to Changqing City by car and plane, looking at some "strange" sights on the streets.

This incredibly peaceful world made Lin Xing, whose mind was increasingly filled with memories from the Mirror World, feel a kind of maladjustment.

"It’s correct to feel maladjusted, I should look more at the current world to remove the influence those false memories have brought..."

While gazing at the street scenes and trying hard to recall those somewhat fuzzy memories in his mind, Lin Xing suddenly found himself puzzled.

He felt that along the way, he had seen too many promotions related to fighting competitions, martial arts training for strength, and swimming for fitness.

Lin Xing was somewhat uncertain, "Did our world ever have such a strong fitness culture before?"

Lv Ming chose his words carefully, "Actually, some time ago, a fixed gate appeared in West Sea City that could lead to the Mirror World at any time."

This was the first time Lin Xing had heard of such a thing and he exclaimed, "A fixed gate? Doesn’t that mean... one could travel between the two worlds at any time?"

Lv Ming nodded, "We have been trying to reach cooperation with some local forces, trading on one hand while collecting intelligence on the Mirror World on the other."

"Moreover, as the opening of the gate is becoming more frequent, it’s possible that the existence of the Mirror World will one day become known to the public."

"At present, the whole country is strengthening promotion and building in terms of martial arts, fitness, and combat sports, expanding the market and talent pool in these areas as a form of being prepared for any eventualities."

He opened up his phone and showed Lin Xing several webpages that were all various fighting competitions, martial arts contests, and infrastructure construction related to national fitness.

Lin Xing remembered Lv Ming once said that although there is no spiritual mechanism in the current world to practice skills, martial artists who had been training for many years, athletes who exercised regularly, and fighters who competed often, would all advance much faster than ordinary people upon entering the Mirror World.

"As more people from the Mirror World start coming to our current world, hundreds of years of peace here may also be shattered."

And the thought that killing was extremely rare in this world made a surge of worry suddenly rise in Lin Xing’s heart.

He felt that the world he grew up in was being changed, little by little, by the appearance of the Mirror World and the gate.

Perhaps most people in this world have not yet noticed the change, but one day it will sweep across the globe like a tsunami, completely changing everyone’s lives.

...

Changqing City.

"Target spotted in Qingshui Street Garden Community."

"All units, move there immediately."

"We cannot let him escape again."

With the sounds coming from the car’s radio, Feng Chuang turned the steering wheel, and the car sped towards the target location.

Meanwhile, Tian Lin and Ling Yan were checking their equipment to ensure nothing went wrong during the upcoming operation.

Besides them, there were even more armed soldiers rushing from different directions of the city.

What made Feng Chuang, Tian Lin, and Ling Yan special was that they were soldiers specially selected from the exploration teams of West Sea City.

The three of them had shown exceptional talents during the exploration of the Mirror World and had progressed quickly in skill training.

To allow them to reach higher levels in their training, they were even permitted to be stationed on the other side of the fixed gate long-term, to practice their skills daily and cooperate with the officials in various tests.

Feng Chuang was the tallest and most muscular among the three of them.

Not only did he have years of military experience, but he also practiced the family martial arts since he was young.

The experience in martial arts practice, originally of little use in modern society, was nothing more than a habit he maintained from childhood, exercised for the sake of keeping fit and strong.

But after learning the skills, he discovered his learning speed was far beyond that of the average person.

And after mastering the skills, his combat power surged by leaps and bounds, making him the strongest among the three present.

At that moment, Feng Chuang checked his weapons and ammunition and sighed, "I thought I had become a little superman, but it seems that the freaks in Mirror World are far more ruthless than one another."

The short, dark-skinned fellow named Tian Lin had a trace of worry flash across his face as he spoke, "From the intelligence of our last firefight, this target has extremely acute senses, and his strength and speed are far above ours. Almost all kinds of firearms we’ve tried have failed to hit him... and this is only the strength he has shown temporarily."

Feng Chuang took a deep breath and said, "That’s why it has come down to us. Heavy firepower is difficult to use in the city, and regular troops would suffer heavy losses of soldiers and civilians if they had to take him down in the city."

Tian Lin’s eyes showed a hint of determination, "After each break-in, he inevitably kills; he has no regard for human life at all. We absolutely can’t let such a monster continue to stay in the city."

However, as they were nearing their destination, a voice came through the walkie-talkie, "There’s a last-minute change from above. Another person will join your operation. Coordinate with them when you meet."

Both Feng Chuang and Tian Lin looked surprised.

Feng Chuang said in confusion, "Who else can be sent? I doubt anyone else could last a second face-to-face with that monster."

Feng Chuang and his selected companions had always been practicing skills on the other side of the door and were familiar with others who had been similarly selected and practiced for a long time.

They were already the strongest among these people, and he couldn’t understand why another person was suddenly being added.

The voice over the walkie-talkie explained, "This isn’t someone who has trained with you, this is a temporary arrangement."

Tian Lin frowned and said, "Has this person not been practicing in West Sea City? What use will they be if they come?"

The voice over the radio responded, "Just follow orders, all you need to do is cooperate with him."

After ending the conversation, Tian Lin became even more puzzled, "Does the upper echelon even realize how dangerous this target is? We’ve been coordinating just fine, what’s the meaning of suddenly adding a stranger?"

Feng Chuang reassured, "It’s fine, the higher-ups must have their reasons. We’ll know what’s going on when the person gets here."

As Feng Chuang and his two companions waited in confusion, a young man knocked on their car door a short while later and handed them a document.

After looking at the document and confirming it with the walkie-talkie, Feng Chuang and the others were sure that this young man was indeed the person they were waiting for.

But the youth in front of them, looking perfectly ordinary, even slightly out of it, didn’t seem like someone formidable at all.

They let the newcomer into the car, and the impatient Tian Lin asked, "Which unit are you from?"

"Unit?" Lin Xing touched his head, looking somewhat lost, "What do you mean?"

"You’re not from the military?" Tian Lin’s frown deepened and he handed over a gun, "What firearms can you use?"

But he saw the newcomer directly pushed the gun away, "I don’t need that."

Saying so, under the trio’s bewildered gaze, the young man took out a transparent ruler, "I use this."

"What are you playing at?" Tian Lin bit his lip, "I’ll contact the higher-ups, what kind of person have they sent us..."

Just then, the walkie-talkie crackled to life, "All units, be advised, the target has left the residential area, the target has left the residential area, intercept him immediately..."
