Night falls.

A busy day in the City of Light is over.

No, to be precise, it's the end of a busy day in the Light Chaser Army, and the nightlife in the City of Light has just begun.

At seven o'clock in the evening, all the gates of the city turned at the same time, and the city gates fell with a clattering sound.

From this time onwards, no one inside the city was allowed to go out of the city, and no one outside the city was allowed to come in.

If there is a caravan coming from afar, it will have to rest outside the city tonight until the city gates open at five o'clock tomorrow morning.

The city is still brightly lit, with two power plants, and many shops are decorated with neon signs.

In the streets and alleys, hotels and restaurants are full of people.

The stalls of mutton skewers exude the aroma, and people push cups and change glasses, drink and chat, and discuss that today's army will go out of the city and destroy those robbers who don't know whether they are alive or dead.

In some high-class consumption places, people can also sing and dance, drink tea and massage.

In the bar, men and women who have been suppressed for a long time in the apocalypse are partying, and from time to time, a pair of wild mandarin ducks hook up together, looking for a place to vent their passion.

Luxury cars, fine wine, neon, and hazy night light constitute the night life map of the city.

However, this is the central and western part of the outer city, and in the eastern part of the city, it is much quieter.

Along the Fengming River, there are no people living there, and the high-end community here has not been completed for a long time, and the decoration has not been completely completed.

On both sides of the riverbank, there are rows of shops.

A wide road was built on the bank of the river, and there were white marble railings on the bank.

The transplanted green belt has been transplanted here, and the evergreen green pines stand tall and tall.

Many of those shops have also been sold, and they are currently in the renovation stage.

Some even have plaques on them, and their names are ambiguous.

What are the names such as "Night Primrose", "Yihong Mansion" and "Baihua Pavilion", so that people can know what they are doing at a glance.

Even in the middle of the river, there are some building boats.

During the day, the workers painted the boats, each of which was a bright color, with pink curtains.

It's also clear what this is for, and this is where flower wine will be drunk in the future.

In the Hanyue Empire, this kind of thing is not illegal, and after the end of the world, this kind of thing is indispensable in the survival bases everywhere.

This will be the gold cave of the future city of chasing light, and it is also an important part of driving the economy.

Although it has not officially opened for business yet, you can already imagine what it will be like in a month's time.

The people who had worked during the day had gone, and the place was now empty.

Occasionally, the patrol motorbikes of the Sheriff's Department pass by on the streets, and they don't stop here, they just run around the river, and no one is allowed to fish here at night.

A street-facing shop called Yihong House.

It is a five-storey detached building that will be a leisure club in the future.

But tonight, it's overcrowded.

Everyone stayed quietly inside the house, did not turn on the lights or spoke loudly, and there was no abnormality to be seen from the outside.

On each floor, there are at least 300 people staying inside.

In the hall on the first floor, a mutant who led a team observed the situation outside from the window.

From his vantage point, he was able to see the city wall in the distance, as well as the water gate at the end of the river.

"Boss Bai, is the person who sent the weapon here?" Someone behind him asked.

Boss Bai turned his head and glared at him: "Are you too nervous, how many times have you said it, the time of action is eight o'clock, the divers will go into the water from five hundred meters outside the city, and then come over with boxes containing weapons, avoid the defenders on the city wall, it will take at least twenty minutes to half an hour to reach us, we can move at half past eight even if it is fast, you see what time it is." ”

The man looked at the time, it was 7:43, and there were still more than ten minutes to move outside the city.

Immediately smiled wryly: "It's me who is anxious, but I can't be blamed for this, today's big scene may not be encountered once in a lifetime, my heart is beating hard at this moment." ”

After he finished speaking, there were also people around him who kept nodding their heads, indicating that they were the same.

In fact, Boss Bai was also very nervous, after all, what they were going to do tonight was too shocking.

When the weapons arrived, they were to immediately go to the south gate and launch a surprise attack on the walls.

There are a lot of things involved in this process, such as someone with a sniper rifle and taking out the sniper in the sentry tower first. Who is responsible for feints and attracts attention. What people as a commando, stormed the city walls. There is a strict division of labor on who turns the winch, who emits signals, and so on.

Even after taking the south gate and opening the city gate, there is a detailed battle plan.

And once this matter is successful, then the Chasing Light Army will change hands, Tang Zheng can only flee in embarrassment, and the Northern Region will be completely firmly controlled by the Alliance.

These people must also be rising, and they have made a fortune with their promotions.

Thinking of what might happen in the future, Boss Bai's palms sweated nervously.

He just felt that time was really slow now.

In the midst of the bored waiting, he set his eyes on the surface of the Fengming River.

The river is flowing in a hurry, and occasionally there are waves on the surface of the water that suddenly ripple, and it should be that there are big fish passing by.

"When the victory comes, I will retire here, fishing, drinking and drinking during the day, and come here to consume at night, it is really a fairy life."

Boss Bai and the others stayed in the building, anxiously waiting for the movement in the river, expecting that the next moment, divers would come up from the river and deliver boxes full of weapons to them.

Seven fifty-five a.m.

Outside the city.

The cool breeze blows at night, and the trees sway between the mountains and forests.

A mutant owl with a wingspan of nearly two meters flew through the mountain and made a "cooing" sound.

The screams seeped and came with the night wind, making people shudder.

About 600 meters outside the city, a group of people crawled on the bank of the Fengming River.

There were a hundred people here, all wearing black wetsuits, diving goggles, and oxygen cylinders behind them.

It was difficult to see in the dark river at night, but these frogmen were professionally trained, and even during the Coalition garrison chasing the light city, they dived through this section of the river and could touch it with their eyes closed.

The leader of the frogmen, with an infrared telescope in his hand, was lying in the grass on the shore.

Beside him, there were huge iron boxes.

Inside these boxes are weapons sealed with plastic tarps.

Heavy machine guns, sniper rifles, grenades, explosives, bazookas, bullets, you name it.

These things were prepared for them by Xie Jinshan, and they cost a lot of money.

Some of these weapons even came from the City of Chasing Light.

But the frogman leader doesn't care about that, he is only responsible for delivering weapons into the city, and that's it.

In the field of view of the telescope, the situation on the head of the city of Chasing Light is clearly visible.

A group of soldiers defending the city patrolled over.

In a group of eight people, the leader also led a military dog.

The military dog also wore body armor, sniffed left and right with a big tongue, and walked all the way on the city wall, very dedicated.

The warriors, armed with guns, also walked over the walls.

The leader of the frogmen knew that the patrol of the Light Chaser Army basically passed through this area once every half an hour, and never stopped 24 hours a day.

But at night, the area they can monitor is much smaller, and the darkness will block out a lot of things.

It's easy to avoid patrols, but it's a bit more difficult to avoid searchlights.

The watchtower of the city wall, nearly thirty meters above the ground, turned on the high-power searchlight on it, and probed over and over again outside the city.

The soldiers of the Light Chaser Army made the frogman leader feel like a robot, these guys barely knew how to get tired, and no matter what shift they went to, they didn't show any laziness and slippery heads, which was a really remarkable thing.

They turned on their searchlights, and the incandescent light swept through everything outside the city.

The Fengming River is also a scanning area, but the dark river at night is really nothing to see, and you can basically see through it at a glance.

This light can even reach a depth of two meters below the river, but it is not visible further down.

The frogman leader looked at the time, and it was eight o'clock in three minutes.

Today's operation, he knew was very dangerous.

It's easy to say that if they are not discovered, once they are discovered, the helicopters of the Light Chaser Army will chase them out, and they will probably have to be left here.

After all, their opponent was the overlord of the Northern Regions, Tang Zheng.

The leader of the frogmen took out a cigarette, but he didn't smoke it, and lighting a fire in the dark night was looking for death, not even a cigarette butt.

He sniffed the direction of the tobacco and pushed it back.

I fumbled in my pocket and pulled out a photo.

It was a picture of his daughter, an eight-year-old girl.

He is a lucky man, his daughter is still alive and is currently inside the college town base.

The frogman leader has no other skills, and he has a good water nature, which is the main reason why he can become the leader.

As a father, he needs to earn money to bring a good life to his daughter.

So this time, he accepted the task without hesitation.

Xie Jinshan promised that if he succeeded, he would be rewarded with 50,000 light yuan.

In this era, 50,000 light yuan is undoubtedly a huge amount of money.

Looking at the photo, the frogman leader said softly: "Girl, after this success, Dad will be discharged from the army, and Dad will take you to live in Zhuguang City in the future, I heard that there will be a school here, Dad has money, then we can go to school, Dad picks you up every day, and makes you a good meal?" ”

Gently kissing his daughter's photo, he put it back in his pocket.

The time had reached eight o'clock.

The gentle dad just now instantly turned back into an iron-blooded tough guy.

"The first frogmen, 30 people, go into the water!"

Thirty frogmen, pushing heavy boxes, slipped into the river.

The weight of the box design is just right, it belongs to the kind that does not sink, and the frogman can easily pull it in the river water below three meters.

The night breeze blows the water, the water waves ripple slightly, and the searchlight occasionally sweeps by, and the people who watch are frightened.

The leader of the frogmen was on the shore, looking at the water with a telescope, and his heart was in his throat.

May God bless the Union, Amen!
