As a silver bolt of lightning pierced the blackened sky, a rumbling thunder followed.

After a while, the drifting rain poured down, and the first heavy rain of the summer came.

Linglan Island, Xiancheng base.

Although the weather forecast had been reminded for a long time, the members of the base center were still forced to be a little wolf by the heavy rain.

With the arrival of summer, after the small beast tide some time ago, the number of recent ghostclaw monster landings is gradually decreasing.

So much so that the hunting detachment in the center of the base had to go to the other side of Linglan Island to find the source of prey.

However, as the heavy rain falls, it is conceivable that this situation will change immediately.

Sure enough, when the drone launched from the center of the base went to the open sea to monitor, it was found that there were ghost claw monsters gathering in the open sea.

The sonar put into the sea also reported that the Ghost Claw Monster near the sea had begun to approach Linglan Island.

It's another beast tide.

Therefore, after receiving the early warning notice on Linglan Island, each base subconsciously strengthened the defense intensity of the base center during the period when the source of prey was decreasing.

For example, add some barricades to the periphery of the base, dig some traps, pull the power grid, etc., to prevent the Phantom Claw from entering the warning area as much as possible, or even directly attack the center of the base.

When the thunderstorm came, all but a few patrol groups would be on guard around the base, and everyone else shrank to the center of the base.

The current Xiancheng base has more than 400 personnel, in addition to hundreds of official martial artists, there are also more than 300 auxiliary personnel, and these auxiliary personnel are basically more or less cultivated. It contained fifty or sixty quasi-martial artist students who had cultivated to the fifth level or above of Qi training.

The Immortal City base has also expanded the base by about three times.

It's basically connected to the safe area of the Galaxy base.

In fact, the two bases have recently begun to merge. At present, except for the differences on the nameplates, in fact, the equipment and clothing of the two bases are the same.

And the high-ranking captains of the two bases. Command over the personnel of both bases.

For example, Li Weiwei, she can command the basic personnel of the Galaxy Base.

Not only is the Galaxy Base and the Xiancheng Base merging, but the Baoxing Base is now slowly starting to merge with the Galaxy Base and the Xiancheng Base, and the four bases on the island are using the same channel and the same gesture code.

At the same time, when any situation occurs, there is no room for any delay between the four bases, and they must go to support without conditions.

It can be said that the four bases are currently being vigorously integrated. In order to maximize the use of resources, and ultimately achieve the goal of resource sharing and personnel sharing.

Of course, financially, the major bases are still relatively independent.

But no matter what, now on Linglan Island, except for the people of the 32 Group, it is basically difficult for outsiders to gain a foothold on the island.

Therefore, if those free warriors still want to continue to mix. There is only one way, and that is to apply to join the four bases and become a member of the 32 Group.

If you don't want to do this, you can only become a black household.

And since Linglan Island was contracted by the 32 Group. There is now a group of twenty-four guards on the island, and they are specially designed to deal with these people.

Therefore, now Linglan Island. It's basically an iron bucket, and it's hard for outside forces to get involved.

But no matter what. High profits can always bring some adventurers, who let Linglan Island have such a unique monster resource.

From time to time, some black households can still be found poaching phantlaw monsters on Linglan Island.

And. The cultivation of these black households is not low.

When the group's patrol team is patrolling, sometimes they find that the other party may not be able to beat the other party.

But the other party didn't dare to do anything to the patrol, after all, if the members of the patrol team were really killed, it would be a catastrophe for the black households.

The island's pervasive surveillance can easily capture their traces, and once they really make a big fuss, then they will have to face the pursuit of more than 500 official warriors under the name of the 32 Group, who can stand it.

Therefore, the members of the base on the island are living quite nourishing now.

Aside from the occasional casualty when facing the Spectreclaw, there are occasional casualties.

The rest is basically not much of a danger.

Therefore, the current patrol team basically drives a relatively heavy armored car, and three or five quasi-martial artists plus one official martial artist dare to patrol the red second-level dangerous area on the periphery of the base.

Sometimes, direct access to a Class 1 hazardous area, a hunting area, is commonplace.

At this moment, under the heavy rain of wandering, an armored vehicle numbered Xiancheng 012 and an armored growler were returning from the first-level danger area on the southeast side of the Xiancheng base to the second-level danger area.

They had just received a notification from the base center that three suspicious people had been found in an abandoned supermarket center in the Level 2 danger area, and asked the patrol team to go over and check on them.

The patrol consisted of eight members, three full-fledged warriors and five would-be warriors.

This is a medium-sized patrol that is part of the Immortal City base.

The leader is a martial artist who has cultivated at the peak of the early stage of the red level, he sits in the passenger seat of the growler, his name is Li Chen, and he is Li Jiawei's family.

The patrol quickly arrived at the location stated by the base's monitoring center.

According to the information provided by the base center, Li Chen got out of the car and asked the members of the patrol team to divide into two teams.

One team searches, while the other team guards it, is standard procedure for patrols.

Once a ground search is launched, they must maintain immediate contact with the monitoring center, and also ensure that the patrol members are dispersed to avoid being ambushed by sneak attackers.

Li Chen himself brought three people, one formal martial artist and two quasi-martial artists, fully armed, carrying battle shields and war knives, turned on the tactical flashlight, and entered the center of the supermarket.

After the four-person team entered, it immediately spread out in battle formation, covering the front and back, and marching alternately.

As the captain, Li Chen also wore a real-time video recorder on his helmet, transmitting the scene to the center of the base and the armored support vehicle behind him.

The abandoned supermarket is quiet, with no lights, and upon entering, you can only smell a disgusting smell of decay.

Probably the one inside has died with a Spectreclaw.

The four of them looked around the corners with tactical flashlights and found nothing out of the ordinary, but they found a staircase leading to the second floor.

After glancing at each other a few times, the four of them slowly walked towards the staircase.

Then Li Chen waved his hand and signaled to stop, he put his ear to the wall and listened quietly.

After more than ten seconds, he frowned, and compared a tactical move that found an anomaly and stepped forward.

The four of them quickly stepped on the stairs and went up to the second floor.

As soon as I got to the second floor, a loud bang was heard.

"It's not good, there's a bomb, lie down!" Li Chen immediately fell to the ground.

The equipment on their bodies is enough to withstand the impact of shrapnel, and as warriors, their bodies are strong enough to withstand the shock wave from a slightly longer distance.

So prostrate is the best way to choose.

But as soon as they lay down, they realized that it was a flashbang, and then the opponent's attack immediately began.

"Ambush, retreat!" Li Chen gave the order without hesitation, this is the first point of the patrol, when attacked, the first choice is to immediately retreat to the seat belt.

However, apparently it was too late.

The other side showed up more than expected.

And the cultivation is not bad, there are at least four official martial artists, and the leader is still an orange-level martial artist.

"Call the headquarters, attacked, the number of the other party, more than ten people, there are more than four official martial artists" Xiancheng Base Control Center, received the last message from Li Chen.

At the same time, a red flare whistled towards the blackened sky.

The four men who remained outside were also attacked.

The base monitoring center quickly reported the distress information to the monitoring center of the entire 32 Group.

Soon, the emergency center immediately dispatched the emergency detachment plus the support personnel of the Xinghe base, Baoxing base and Xiancheng base, a total of more than 30 armored vehicles, and roared straight to the scene of the incident.

****

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the intertwined lightning smashed into the earth like weaving cloth.

On the highway from Xialin District to Haiyang District, more than a dozen black bulletproof vans braved thunder and lightning and drifted in heavy rain to rush to Haiyang Nanling Town.

Almost at the same time, in a nondescript inn about three or four kilometers away from the Blue River Manor.

In a room on the fourth floor, Lin Zhengyi was dressed in black and stood by the window.

Behind him, two stout men in almost the same outfit stood arched.

"Master, do you really want to do this?" The one on the left, with a hesitant look on his face, asked softly.

"Nonsense, Linglan Island has already begun, right now the wind and shadow family has the right time and place, the time has been lost, everyone is equal in terms of location, as for the people, Ning Yi and Mu Qingxue are ninety-nine percent gone, Old Man Mu also went to the United States, success or failure in one fell swoop."

Lin Zhengyi stared at the heavy rain outside the window, his eyes resolute.

Although he hysterically threatened the hospital, in the end, Lin Feifei's leg could not be saved, and in the future, Lin Feifei could only live with one limp for the rest of his life.

This is absolutely unbearable for him.

He had to get the Kazekage family to give him an explanation.

Zhong Shiying's suggestion, he accepted it without hesitation.

The two of them chose such a day, gathered the resources and strength they could use in their hands, and prepared to deal a fatal blow to the Kazekage.

He is in charge of the south gate of the Blue River Manor, part of the Zhong family's forces are in charge of the east gate, and the other part of the forces are going all out to attack the Xiancheng base and the Xinghe base, and at the very least, he will drag most of the Wind Shadow family's forces on Linglan Island.

It's not new, but it works.

Most of the Wind Shadow Clan's forces are concentrated on Linglan Island, as long as Linglan Island is tight, then it is impossible to mobilize manpower to support Blue River Manor, especially Yang Hong, the biggest opponent.

And now, Linglan Island has begun, but the current attack has only begun.

The real attack is far from unfolding. (To be continued......) R1292
