Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups Chapter 1620 - 778_2
Previously on Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups...
"If any ignorant force tries to do something out of line, then don’t blame me for being ruthless and launching a massacre!"
His tone was calm when he said this, yet it seemed as if a breath of Corpse Mountain Blood Sea was rushing toward us.
On the other end of the phone, Lin Chuqiao’s heart trembled slightly, feeling the dominating aura emanating from Fang Cheng.
"Chu Qiao!"
Fang Cheng paused briefly and began to deploy his forces:
"Contact Old Wolf, Xiao Bei, Fatty Hu, and Fei Ying immediately. Have them gather their gear and infiltrate the resort disguised as ordinary tourists in batches this afternoon."
"Once there, come directly to room 6905 and follow my orders."
Lin Chuqiao immediately agreed, then asked:
"Just those four? Won’t the manpower be too little? Why don’t I lead the team personally and bring more people from the Action Department to help you?"
"No, just those four."
Fang Cheng patiently explained:
"If it’s really a spatial rift or the Inner World opening, the energy radiation and yin qi eruption upon outburst are not something ordinary people can withstand."
"Old Wolf and the others have strong physiques, high resistance to radiation, and can help me control the scene. Others would only be a hindrance, distracting me with the need to care for them."
Lin Chuqiao still felt uneasy:
"Brother Cheng, how about calling Big Hammer, Monkey, and Li Fei as well? They have good physiques and outstanding abilities, definitely able to help if there’s danger."
"Chu Qiao, what I need most right now is not muscle but people who can maintain the big picture for me."
Fang Cheng’s tone softened a bit, speaking gently:
"You are the person I trust most. Whether it’s the operation of the Illuminati or the safety of my family, it requires your supervision."
"Also, once the spatial rift opens, communication inside will likely be completely severed. At that time, it will be up to you outside to stabilize the situation."
Upon hearing the phrase "the person I trust most," most of Lin Chuqiao’s worries dissipated, even her voice carried a note of pleasantness:
"Understood, Brother Cheng. I’ll arrange their departure now."
"Moreover."
Fang Cheng continued to add:
"Choose a team of elite personnel from the Action and Intelligence Departments, lead them in an ambush in the woods surrounding the resort, avoiding detection by other forces, and be prepared to assist at any time."
"I cannot guarantee breaking the Inner World’s Barrier, and will need you outside to cooperate."
"Remember, before taking action, I’ll keep in contact through Spiritual Link. If communication is cut off for more than half an hour, immediately use high-explosive charges to blow up the resort and shake the foundation of the Inner World."
This way of physically destabilizing the Inner World from the outside was taught to him by Cheng Jiashu when dealing with Jiang Chen at Ancient Locust Village, though it wasn’t used then.
"Okay, I understand, Brother Cheng, be careful."
Lin Chuqiao agreed solemnly.
"Hmm, keep in touch at all times."
Fang Cheng moved the phone away from his ear and pressed the red button to end the call.
With his eyes lowered, he looked at the screen that was gradually dimming, his gaze slightly flickering.
A few seconds later, his thumb pulled out the contact list on the keyboard again, scrolling down two pages to stop at Shen Wei’s name.
Hit the dial button.
"Beep—beep—"
The phone was connected after just a couple of rings.
"Mr. Fang, do you need me for something?"
Shen Wei’s voice carried a tone of respect.
"Elder Shen, do you trust me?"
Fang Cheng asked bluntly.
On the other end of the line, there was a momentary pause before Shen Wei provided a solemn response:
"Mr. Fang, what are you saying, you are my lifesaver. If it weren’t for your help, this old body of mine would’ve perished in the Silver Wing Building long ago."
"Whatever you ask, I’ll do."
Seeing him affirm his stance, Fang Cheng nodded slightly, speaking in a deep voice:
"I have a friend who can foresee the future. She just told me that a catastrophe might occur at the Golden City Resort today, and many people will die."
A cold intake of breath was immediately heard on the phone.
Shen Wei had personally witnessed various bizarre and unpredictable mutant methods before. Plus, he had absolute trust in Fang Cheng, having no doubt about the truth of his words.
"Mr. Fang, what should we do now?"
Shen Wei’s tone turned urgent, seeking guidance:
"Should I immediately arrange for closure and clear the scene, disperse everyone from the resort down the mountain?"
"Although doing so would affect the reputation of the East City Association, destroying the hard-earned brand, it’s better than losing lives here. I trust your judgement..."
"Elder Shen, don’t rush."
Fang Cheng interrupted him, explaining:
"My friend could only get a rough sense of the danger, not knowing specifically what kind of disaster it is yet. For now, it’s best to prepare an emergency response ahead of time."
Then, Fang Cheng got to the heart of the matter, asking:
"Does your resort have any safe houses or large shelters set up?"
Shen Wei hesitated for a moment at the question before speaking honestly:
"I have a secret room in my office on the top floor, made with explosion-proof steel plates, with a dedicated passage leading directly to the rooftop helipad. It’s ready for evacuation by helicopter any time."
"As for shelters... the underground shooting range at the back hill should count."
"When it was built, it conformed to the highest standard of an air-raid shelter, with three meters thick of specialized cement poured, and radiation-proof lead plates embedded in the layer, even a low-yield nuclear bomb couldn’t penetrate it."
"Besides, it’s equipped with an independent diesel generator set and a high-grade air filtration system, with enough reserved drinking water and compressed dry food to last a month. Its space is vast, accommodating over two thousand people without issue."
Upon hearing this, Fang Cheng’s eyes brightened.
He hadn’t expected such a treasure hidden beneath this capitalist paradise.
After a quick calculation, he felt assured and then instructed:
"Elder Shen, if signs of a disaster truly manifest, I’ll give you a signal."
"Once you receive the notification, immediately organize all guests and staff to evacuate into the underground shooting range to seek refuge. Remember, without my order, no one is to venture out."
Shen Wei seemed stunned:
"No need to send those guests down the mountain?"
Fang Cheng didn’t explain, instead asked:
"Transfer these two thousand plus people, ensure absolute order, prevent panic or alerting the outside world. Can you manage that?"
Shen Wei contemplated for a few seconds before confidently replying:
"Yes. At that time, I could activate the alarm system, claiming a mutant beast was spotted deep within West Mountain and directing them to the underground shooting range for emergency refuge."
"Earlier this year, the military frequently conducted net searches around West Mountain with air raid alarms often going off at night. Those coming here are mostly affluent or prestigious, aware of some insider information, long accustomed to such scenarios. Guided properly, chaos should be avoided."
"Very good."
Fang Cheng nodded, further providing various precautions like sealing air vents after entering the shooting range, ensuring personnel safety, and other points.
After giving the instructions, Fang Cheng ended the call and slid his phone into his pants pocket.
He stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at two or three occasional pedestrians strolling along the tree-lined path below.
The reason for instructing those at the resort to head to the shelter rather than outright clearing the place wasn’t impulsive.
The primary concern was that if the concept of the Ideal Land is confirmed, someone is secretly monitoring the resort’s every move.
If the enemy is indeed covertly plotting, seeing the resort suddenly evacuate guests en masse, they would surely feel doubtful, potentially altering their action plans.
Once the adversary alters their trajectory, the foreknowledge painstakingly gained by Lin Chuqiao, despite exerting spiritual power, would be rendered null.
At that point, with the enemy plotting anew in the shadows, Fang Cheng would again find himself defensively passive.
Rather than startling the serpent in the grass, why not trap the enemy as intended?
Let the adversary believe he’s still in the dark, stepping into the trap set for them as planned.
Furthermore, another crucial point.
Fang Cheng must ensure the safety of Zhou Xiumei participating in the training camp.
