Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups Chapter 1625 - 781
Previously on Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups...
Golden City Resort main building, top floor Presidential Suite.
The central air conditioning has stopped functioning due to the power outage.
Inside, it’s pitch dark, so dark that you can’t see your hand in front of your face, and the temperature is gradually rising.
Without the cool air blowing, the entire suite feels like a steaming cage, unbearably hot.
Fang Cheng stands by the floor-to-ceiling window, one hand tucked into his pants pocket.
The garden and artificial lake, originally illuminated by landscape lights, have been swallowed by darkness.
Clouds churn in the sky, occasionally letting a ray of cold moonlight escape, which soon merges back into the deep night.
This is not a bustling urban area.
After the power went out, everything around is silent, as if it has reverted to a primitive state.
Fang Cheng’s gaze crossed the pitch-black resort grounds towards the dense forest several kilometers away.
In that direction, the cold energy sensed during the day becomes increasingly apparent.
It feels as though some massive entity inside the mountain has torn open a gap, letting out a chilling wave.
"The rat finally shows its head..."
Fang Cheng murmured softly.
"Chairman, it’s pitch black outside, when do we take action?"
A deep voice, tinged with some anxiety, sounded from the living room behind:
"I’m getting impatient, really want to knock off those bastards’ heads and kick them like balls. Damn it, they’ve got the courage to provoke the Illuminati!"
Then, another slightly frivolous voice interjected:
"What’s the hurry, Fatty Hu, the Chairman has it under control, not your turn to ramble."
"If the experts from Ideal Land really show up later, just hope you have the guts to be the first to charge!"
"Haha, with the Chairman here, I’d be damned to fear them!"
The deep voice laughed loudly, jokingly.
Fang Cheng turned around, looking towards the living room behind.
With the moonlight shining in from outside, he could clearly see the two people standing in the shadows.
The man on the left is nearly two meters tall and has a bald head. His developed muscles bulge the black T-shirt he wears.
Standing there like a steel tower, even the ceiling seems shorter by half.
The young man on the right looks handsome and his eyes sparkle with brilliance.
A silver dagger flips back and forth at his fingertips, spinning nonchalantly, yet never falling.
These two are Fatty Hu and Fei Ying.
This afternoon, they were ordered to rush from the East City District to West Mountain, disguised as guests to sneak into the resort.
When they encountered the large-scale blackout just now, they immediately came up in the dark to report to the Chairman.
Fang Cheng looked at them and asked:
"Did anyone follow you when you entered the mountain?"
Fatty Hu rubbed his smooth head, laughing:
"No way, Fei Ying and I are great at acting, pretending to be a pair of buddies, no one noticed us."
"Pfui, pfui, pfui!"
Fei Ying spat several times, moved two steps aside with a disgusted look on his face:
"Who acted as buddies with you, be careful with your words, and don’t misuse terms."
He then became serious and asked Fang Cheng:
"Chairman, Old Wolf and Xiao Bei have been sent to protect Miss Zhou, what tasks do Fatty Hu and I have now?"
"No rush, I need to wait for definite information before making decisions."
Fang Cheng responded calmly.
"The Chairman is right."
Fatty Hu immediately agreed:
"This is called... called what? Oh, it’s called ’if the enemy does not move, I do not move; if the enemy moves, I will thunderously counterattack!’"
Fei Ying glanced at him sideways, teased:
"Unexpectedly, after staying in East Capital for over two months, you’ve become quite cultured."
"Of course, I’ve been browsing idioms daily on WhatsApp to flirt with girls."
Fatty Hu proudly puffed out his chest.
Thud, thud.
While the two were talking, a knock suddenly sounded outside the door.
Fei Ying flicked his wrist, the dagger turned direction, revealing its sharp edge.
Fatty Hu also instantly put on a battle stance, dropping his playful expression.
Fang Cheng, however, looked composed and called out:
"Please come in."
With a light click, the door was opened a crack.
Ah Le slipped inside.
He held a strong flashlight, keeping the beam low.
When the flashlight beam swept over the two-meter-tall Fatty Hu and the whole body emanating poignant aura of Fei Ying, Ah Le’s eyelid twitched violently and he instinctively stepped back, his hand reaching for the gun holster at his waist.
But seeing Fang Cheng standing by the window, he reacted immediately, forcibly suppressing his doubts, and turned off the flashlight.
"Mr. Fang, there’s trouble."
Ah Le quickly approached and reported in a low voice:
"This afternoon, following your orders, I specifically filtered recent unfamiliar faces checking in and locked onto a few suspicious targets."
"Just as I was about to gather people for a careful search, someone suddenly used explosives to cut the power generator and cables in the basement."
"Now the entire resort area is almost out of power, things are a bit chaotic, it’s unclear where the enemy’s hiding."
Fang Cheng maintained a calm expression:
"I know, no need to panic."
Hearing this, half the burden weighing on Ah Le’s heart was lifted, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead:
"So what should we do now?"
Fang Cheng did not answer, he instead asked:
"What about Old Shen?"
Ah Le promptly answered:
"Chairman Shen is already on the first batch of the retreat list, personally escorted by Biao and the others, through the special passage below."
Fang Cheng nodded slightly and then commanded:
"Now get everyone from the East City Association moving immediately. Taking advantage of the dark so the enemy can’t see inside the resort, guide all hotel guests and staff into the underground shooting range at the back mountain, seal the entrance."
"Remember, without my orders, no one is allowed to come out."
Ah Le promptly nodded in agreement, moved his feet but his face showed a hint of hesitation:
"Mr. Fang... is there anything else you need us to do?"
