The Tokusatsu Era: Starting with Orphnoch

Chapter 98 A Scheme Within a Scheme (14)

A moment later, a slight mechanical whirring sound was heard, and the heavy doors of the conference room slammed shut with a dull thud.

This sudden turn of events stunned everyone present, their faces showing astonishment and confusion.

Just as they were at a loss, Director Zhong suddenly stood up and said loudly in his loud and authoritative voice: "Attention everyone! From the moment you stepped into this conference room, all communication devices have been disabled. At the same time, no one is allowed to move around or leave their seat at will."

After saying that, he paused for a moment, looked around again, and his sharp eyes shot straight at the few people who looked flustered, like two bolts of lightning.

After a brief silence, he added, "Please be patient and wait."

"Once this cleanup operation officially begins, you will be free to move around as usual. I hope you will cooperate with my work arrangements!"

Just as Director Zhong finished speaking, a low, mechanical hum suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterwards, the seemingly ordinary walls of the conference room slowly moved to both sides, revealing a hidden mezzanine.

In an instant, dozens of Leo cavalrymen filed out from the hidden compartment.

As soon as these Leo cavalrymen appeared, they stood silently behind each department head like statues.

Faced with this sudden turn of events, the atmosphere in the previously quiet conference room instantly became tense.

At this moment, the department heads in the entire conference room stood up in a panic, like a flock of frightened sheep.

Everyone's face was filled with astonishment, and their eyes involuntarily focused on Director Zhong, who was sitting at the head of the table.

Minister Ma of the Special Operations Bureau of the Military Headquarters could no longer contain his anger. His eyes widened, his face flushed, and he pointed a trembling finger at Director Zhong, roaring furiously, "Zhong Guanghua! What exactly do you want to do? Don't you know what serious consequences your actions will have?"

"I'm telling you, I'm going to report your actions to the military right now!"

"You, Zhong Guanghua, must take full responsibility for all of this!" Minister Ma's voice boomed like thunder in the meeting room, making everyone's eardrums buzz.

Upon hearing Minister Ma's righteous and stern accusations, some of the officials who were still in a state of shock came to their senses as if waking from a dream.

They echoed Minister Ma's words, putting pressure on Director Zhong. The meeting room became increasingly noisy and chaotic.

However, Director Zhong, who was the target of everyone's criticism, appeared remarkably calm and composed.

He raised his hand and waved it lightly without changing his expression.

Upon receiving the order, the numerous Leo cavalrymen almost simultaneously drew their sharp short blades from their waists.

"Minister Ma, please calm down. You all know my way of doing things. Since I dare to act this way today, it must be because I have obtained the approval and support of the cabinet and the military leadership." Director Zhong's tone was calm, but the authority it contained was unquestionable.

"Therefore, you may all sit down for now, enjoy some tea, and patiently wait for the official commencement of this cleaning mission."

As for the follow-up matters, if you want to report or complain, I, Zhong Guanghua, will absolutely cooperate fully! After saying this, Director Zhong took the lead, sat leisurely in a chair, picked up a cup of steaming tea, took a sip, and savored the taste.

Upon hearing this, the heads of the other departments all turned grim and furious, but they were helpless and could only sit down slowly and remain silent, filled with resentment.

Although they harbored a great deal of resentment and dissatisfaction, they found it difficult to vent their anger in the face of the powerful Director Zhong.

The room was filled with a tense and oppressive atmosphere, as if a storm was about to break.

Meanwhile, inside the Harbin Special Operations Bureau base outside the conference room, a flurry of activity was underway.

As Ma Mingzhe and Su Qian led their team away hastily, the entire base seemed to have been activated, instantly emitting a sharp and piercing evacuation signal.

Before long, the logistics personnel sprang into action.

Like ants carrying food, they methodically moved all the items that could be taken from the Special Operations Bureau onto the vehicle.

These items include important documents, confidential files, high-tech equipment, and various daily necessities.

Thanks to the efficient and orderly operation of the logistics department staff, the warehouse, which was originally filled with all kinds of supplies, gradually became empty; the desks, chairs, computers and other office supplies in the office were also cleared out one by one; even the instruments and samples in the laboratory were not left behind.

In the end, the entire Special Operations Bureau base became empty, with only tire tracks remaining, seemingly telling the story of its former bustling activity and noise.

....................

At the same moment, Ma Mingzhe and Su Qian took the lead and led their team to quickly arrive at the main gate of the Harbin electronics factory where Orfino was based.

Meanwhile, Zheng Zhongshan and Zeng Qixia led their teams to quietly maneuver around to the back gate of the electronics factory.

They lay silently in the shadows, holding their breath and waiting for Ma Mingzhe to give the signal to act, preparing to move in with their teammates at the front gate.

A moment later, Ma Mingzhe glanced at his wristwatch and thought to himself, "Hmm, the time is almost ripe."

Immediately afterwards, a brief action signal was sent to Zheng Zhongshan and his companion, who were waiting at the back door.

Almost the instant the signal was delivered, Zheng Zhongshan, who had been eagerly anticipating the attack, suddenly swung his arm and gave the order to attack.

In an instant, the Leo cavalrymen at both the front and back gates simultaneously raised their powerful RPGs, aimed at the two tightly closed factory gates, and pulled the triggers without hesitation.

Two deafening loud bangs suddenly rang out, like thunderclaps from a clear sky, instantly shattering the tranquil atmosphere around the electronics factory.

The powerful explosive force swept in like a raging torrent, blasting the two electronics factory gates into countless fragments that flew everywhere.

Immediately afterward, before the smoke of battle had cleared, the team led by Ma Mingzhe and Su Qian stormed in through the front gate.

Meanwhile, Zheng Zhongshan and Zeng Qixia's team broke in through the back door.

The two teams launched an assault on the core area marked inside the electronics factory in the intelligence report.

When the two teams met up and arrived at a warehouse in the core area, the warehouse door was opened, and Zhuo Mo (Centipede Orphnoch) and Guan Cheng (Rose Orphnoch) led a group of Orphnochs out and charged in.
