Chapter 1059 Betrayal

In the sky en route to The Dragon City Rises, an aerial formation of twelve helicopters roared through the air. They came from the First Army Corps base, preparing to pick up the First District's Foreign Minister from The Dragon City Rises.

These twelve aircraft carried one hundred and ten elite First District army special forces members, all armed to the teeth, ready for the mission.

At this moment, in the lead helicopter, a captain held the aircraft's communicator and said loudly, "We are about to reach the designated location. Ground, please respond!"

Soon, a man's voice came through the communicator: "The ground has been cleared and is approaching the designated location."

"Roger!" The captain switched channels and instructed the other groups: "Second Group, fly to the left flank. Third Group, fly to the right flank and jam the area within a three-kilometer radius. At the same time, all groups enter The Dragon City Rises territory at low altitude and land quickly, but only Aircraft One enters the designated location. After picking up the target, all aircraft immediately disperse and evacuate The Dragon City Rises!"

"Second Group, roger!"

"Third Group, roger!"

…

At the same time, Han and Tang Street.

This occupied area, originally belonging to the First District, had already been one-third recovered by the People's Army First Army! Xin Xiaodong was already active within Han and Tang Street, completing the task Su Tianyu had given him.

Dressed in ordinary soldier's clothing, Xin Xiaodong hid behind a bunker and shouted into the communicator: "Confirm it's an aerial formation, right? Are there any call signs? What did you say? The lead aircraft is h5-1, right?"

The response came from the other end of the communicator: "Correct!"

"Okay, I got it!"

Xin Xiaodong hung up and immediately waved to the rear: "Firepower squad! Come here!"

An officer covered in dust ran over and saluted Xin Xiaodong: "Commander!"

Xin Xiaodong immediately asked, "How much ammunition do you have left?"

The company commander straightened his legs and replied loudly, "We've been conserving ammunition. We can fire another round without any problem!"

"Good!" Xin Xiaodong quickly opened his combat instrument, pointed to several locations on it, and said, "You quickly position yourselves in these locations..."

…

About seven or eight minutes later, the First District aerial formation had entered The Dragon City Rises airspace and was flying towards Han and Tang Street.

In the lead aircraft, the captain said again, "All groups, immediately lower altitude! Fly at extremely low altitude! Use the surrounding buildings as cover! Glide forward and secretly approach the mission area."

"Roger!"

"Roger!"

A chorus of responses came from the communicators.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Just as everyone finished speaking, a series of violent air explosions suddenly erupted from the ground!

Immediately afterward, more than a dozen missiles streaked through the air with long trails, heading towards them!

"Damn it!" The captain cursed and shouted into the communicator, "Enemy attack! Launch flares, take evasive action!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The helicopter formation immediately ejected rows of red flares, scattering like celestial flowers falling in all directions.

"Beep, beep, beep—"

But at this moment, a rapid alarm suddenly sounded in the cabin!

"We're locked on!"

"They're coming straight for us! The enemy's firepower is dense, blocking all our escape routes! The flares aren't very effective!"

"Eject! Prepare to eject!"

"Da-da-da..."

Amidst a flurry of shouts, the machine guns beneath the helicopters spun and spat flames, intercepting the incoming missiles!

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Several missiles were intercepted in mid-air, causing violent explosions and creating fireballs in the sky! The shockwaves from the explosions pushed the helicopters to and fro, nearly causing them to lose control!

"Beep, beep, beep—"

Inside the cabin, the alarm continued to blare, and the captain's face turned pale!

"Boom!"

Immediately afterward, two missiles simultaneously hit the lead aircraft, tearing it apart in mid-air and turning it into fireballs that plummeted to the ground!

At the same time, in a nearby helicopter, another officer wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, picked up the communicator, and said urgently, "Lead aircraft one has been destroyed. I am now taking command of the battlefield!"

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Before he could finish speaking, another series of air explosions erupted from the ground!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

More than a dozen missiles flew toward them, chasing their tails!

"Beep, beep, beep—"

The alarm sounded in this helicopter as well, and the officer's face turned ashen. He grabbed the communicator and cursed, "Damn it, our intentions have been discovered in advance! Someone must have leaked the pickup location to the enemy! Everyone, listen to my order! Abort the mission! Abort the mission! Evacuate this area immediately! Now!"

Although his order was decisive, this wave of shells still destroyed their helicopters one after another, turning them into wreckage falling to the ground!

In the end, only four helicopters barely escaped destruction by flying close to the buildings. But they could no longer ascend, so they were forced to land, and the soldiers scattered instantly.

One of the surviving pilots, covered in dust, hid behind a bunker and cursed into the communicator, "Damn it! Someone must have betrayed us!"

…

Near Han and Tang Street, inside a building.

The Foreign Minister, who had changed into an ordinary soldier's uniform, was anxiously awaiting aerial support to come and pick him up.

"Ring-a-ling!"

Just then, Lu Zhen's phone suddenly rang, and he immediately answered, "Hello?"

A hurried voice came from the receiver, almost shouting, "The aerial formation has been attacked! Losses exceed eighty percent, and they can no longer complete the pickup mission! The remaining aircraft have been forced to land, and there are currently more than forty army special forces members approaching your location!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhen's head buzzed, and he was stunned.

The loud noise was even heard by the Foreign Minister. His face turned pale instantly, and he trembled with anger, jumping up and down and cursing, "Damn it, is this our army special forces?! The king of soldiers?! Let them die!! May that damn God tell me how we're supposed to get out of here?"

After hearing this news, the officers in the room were also in chaos, with shouts echoing around.

Just then!! Lu Zhen seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly turned his head and saw Kong ZhengHui rushing toward him, and his gaze became incredibly grim.

Kong ZhengHui ran up and asked, "Secretary-General, what's going on here? Which point had an incident?"

Lu Zhen frowned and looked at him, saying, "Unfortunately, the points you mentioned didn't have any incidents... but the point you didn't mention did."

Kong ZhengHui was stunned for a moment and hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

Lu Zhen sized up his expression and said in a low voice, "The aerial formation that was coming to pick us up was attacked."

Upon hearing these words, Kong ZhengHui's face turned pale instantly. He remained silent for more than ten seconds before suddenly saying, "There must be someone in this room who is informing the enemy!!!"

Lu Zhen slowly nodded: "I also think so, there must be someone who is informing the enemy… that person is you, right?"

Kong ZhengHui was suddenly stunned, looking at Lu Zhen in disbelief: "What are you talking about?"

Lu Zhen pointed at the ground, his face contorted, and roared word by word, "Apart from you and me, almost everyone in this room is white! And these white people are all core officials of the First District! Do you think they are selling information to Su Tianyu?! Only you saw the Foreign Minister changing clothes, and only you heard us calling the aerial formation from the base! What else do you want to argue? You even made up a story for me, telling me that Yu Mingyuan had come over, where is he? I’m asking you where he is?! Also!! It was because of your plan that I deployed all the outer troops to separate points!! You are dispersing our forces!!! You did it on purpose!!"

Hearing these accusations, Kong ZhengHui's brain buzzed.

At this moment, his heart felt terribly blocked. Suppressing his anger, he roared in a frantic state, "If you think I leaked this information, then it's too ridiculous!!! I even killed my best brother in order to come to the First District, and I even captured my big brother's wife. Do you think I would be a ghost?! What are you thinking???"

Lu Zhen pointed at his nose, his voice cold: "Yes, you can even sell out your best brother, then you can betray anyone!!"

Kong ZhengHui's face turned pale upon hearing these words, and he was speechless. The scene in his eyes became dizzy for a moment.

Lu Zhen waved his hand and shouted at the guards next to him: "Take away all his equipment! Assign a separate group of people to escort him! Take him back for investigation!"

After speaking, he turned and walked towards the room.

"Pa!"

Two guards immediately stepped forward, grabbed Kong ZhengHui, and took off the pistol from his waist.

Kong ZhengHui's face flushed red with anger!

Resentment, anger, trepidation, fear, confusion! All kinds of complex emotions flooded into his mind, almost bursting his head!

Kong ZhengHui's eyes were red, and he pointed at Lu Zhen's back and cursed, "You're really a fucking idiot!"

Lu Zhen suddenly turned around and swung his arm violently!

"Pa!!"

A crisp slap rang on Kong ZhengHui's face, and his head shook, completely stunned in place.

Lu Zhen pointed at him, gritting his teeth and cursing: "Fuck your mother, you remember this! Kang DingHuang, who defected you, has been seriously injured and is still lying in the hospital! Commander Wang is also dead! No one is supporting you now!! Watch your attitude! You and I are not on the same level!"

Hearing these words, Kong ZhengHui's face turned pale, his heart beat rapidly, and he felt a sense of dizziness.

Lu Zhen turned around and returned to the room, saying to the brigade commander of the guard brigade, "We don't have time to wait for a second wave of aerial support anymore, we must leave here immediately!"

The brigade commander's face was also very ugly, and he couldn't help but nod: "That's the only way."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zhen immediately picked up the communicator, switched to one of the channels, and shouted into it, "Special Operations Team One, where are you?"

In a moment, Yuan Biao's voice rang out: "We are still standing by in the same place."

Lu Zhen immediately said: "I'll give you a location, come to my side immediately!"

Yuan Biao paused for a moment and said: "Yes!"
