Chapter 281: 【228~229】The fourth omnipotent Transcendent! The Old Gods Association shakes people up, exploding into action (seeking monthly tickets)_2
Silver Art immediately replied, “No. By the way, we caught two members of the Sand Flame Association, and Hong Luo will interrogate them later.”

Pei Jinye was taken aback.

In his mind, the image of Hong Luo, a young girl, interrogating the tall and strong members of the Sand Flame Association with a whip, inexplicably surfaced.

He typed, “Be careful with concealment. The explosion will attract a lot of attention from Da Peng City, don’t get affected by it.”

Silver Art replied in an instant again, “Understood, you too.”

Just as he was about to put away his phone.

An emergency call from the Investigation Team suddenly came through.

Brother Bi said quickly, “Emergency mission, there’s been a major explosion at Da Peng City Seaport, we need support urgently, where are you? The base is asking us to gather as soon as possible.”

Pei Jinye reported his location.

He leaned back and said, “Sorry, something came up for me. Call your family to pick you up, I’ll arrange someone to stay with you.”

“Be careful.” Sun Ruofan seemed to have some vague guesses, but it seemed that was all she could say.

Pei Jinye nodded.

He greeted the front desk, arranged for a young girl to accompany Sun Ruofan, and not long after, he hailed a car on the road to the Investigation Team’s Base.

Brother Bi had already arrived.

He greeted and said, “Go change into your equipment, we’ll be heading to the dock for vigilance and search later.”

As he was speaking.

Medical personnel from the adjacent medical center were busily loading stretchers into vehicles.

“This is the third batch of medical personnel I’ve seen,” said Brother Bi with a grave expression.

Zhou Ye buckled on his equipment and asked, “Why are we going too?”

Brother Bi gestured to the flashing red light, “The red light represents first-level alert, everyone except those who are injured and hospitalized has to come back for overtime. The end-of-year assessment includes this, don’t tell me you didn’t see it.”

Zhou Ye laughed sheepishly, “I’ll look at it when I get back tonight.”

After receiving his equipment from Logistics Old Zhang, Pei Jinye caught up and asked, “What exactly happened?”

“I’ve received reliable information. There were criminals at Da Peng City Port, and they placed explosive devices at the dock. The patrol team found them and dispatched a bomb disposal squad, but the devices were suddenly detonated… The casualties are currently uncertain, but judging by the medical center’s activity, I fear it’s many.”

Brother Bi sighed, “As instructed by the higher-ups, all of us are now heading over to investigate the port area. Team One and Team Seven have already rushed over. Every area must be searched, and combat might occur, so make sure to check your equipment thoroughly.”

The three joined Team Two’s entire squad and left the area.

Zhou Ye couldn’t help but remark upon seeing the scale of the operation, “The size of tonight’s operation is simply terrifying… The last time was the joint operation with the Military Department against the Old Gods Association, right?”

Almost three hundred investigators stood on the helicopter pad, while ground crew with signal batons directed them.

Chief Lin was dressed in the Investigation Team’s distinctive suit and trench coat.

Seeing her, Pei Jinye and she exchanged nods without saying a word.

Brother Bi asked in a low voice, “Chief Lin, how many people from our base died this time?”

“Twenty-three dead, nineteen seriously injured… The count of the slightly injured has not been tallied yet,” Lin Xiawei replied.

“Hiss!”

Upon hearing this, Brother Bi and the others couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

“They’re completely heartless!!!”

“Which organization could it be? How many explosive devices were installed? They must be insane!!!”

Chief Lin listened calmly to the heated discussions around her, and after receiving feedback from Xing Tian, she gave an order, “Everyone in Team Two, board Transporter Seventeen. The search destination has been sent to the backend email, make sure to check. Upon arrival, Team Two will join Team Thirteen from logistics for the search. The search area has been marked on the map, remind each other.”

“Received!”

“Received!”

“Received!”

…

The entire base’s nearly all-hands search underscored the gravity of the situation.

Coupled with the casualty numbers Chief Lin had personally acknowledged, it was far too many.

This explosion triggered a level of vigilance from the Investigation Team like never before.

Besides that…

Pei Jinye felt that there must be other reasons for the Investigation Team’s significant mobilization that he did not know about.

However, he set this thought aside for the moment.

…

It seemed the Investigation Team was destined to fail this time.

The Old Gods Association had kept a close watch on them ever since the Sand Flame Association appeared.

The Sand Flame Association’s detonation of the explosive devices during their retreat had been ambushed by a team led by Silver Art and Hong Luo, who had already cleanly dealt with the aftermath.

Pei Jinye, following the large force, meticulously searched all areas around the dock, whether bars, casinos, ordinary restaurants, or residential areas.

Unfortunately, there was not a single clue about the explosion.

Instead, many other criminals’ hideouts were uncovered.

Zhou Ye wished he had a hundred hands to catch all these scoundrels, but with the mission at hand, he could only watch as the credit slipped away.

“My heart aches, it really aches…”

“This time, the Investigation Team is going to turn the entire seaport district upside down,” Pei Jinye remarked.

“After all, they’ve given our Investigation Team a slap in the face this time,” Brother Bi wiped the sweat from his forehead, the high-intensity search and constant tension nearly breaking him down.

Zhou Ye sat on the ground, coughing and pounding on his chest, “With hundreds of people acting together, this mission is torture… But Brother Bi.”
