Chapter 45: Night at Beishan
The night wind blew, and the dim street lights seemed even more powerless in the empty environment, and the trees along the roadside were like ghostly shadows.

At night, there are almost no vehicles on the Beishan Ring Road.

On the way, Meng Xingchen took out two mutant red fruits and gave them to Li Kan and Ye Zihong to carry with them so that they could take them immediately in case of emergency.

He has already taken three mutant red fruits. In addition to increasing strength, this thing also has the effect of healing wounds and restoring physical strength.

Before going out, Meng Xingchen had already dialed a phone number given to him by the police station, who asked him to report his location and that someone would deliver the previously approved equipment to him when he arrived.

About half an hour later, the off-road vehicle turned into a small road and drove on a bumpy road.

After another ten minutes, I saw a dark green vehicle parked on the side of the road.

Three men in military uniforms were standing next to the vehicle waiting.

"Xingchen Security?" After the three got off the car, a middle-aged man holding a mobile phone and two other young men armed with guns came to Meng Xingchen.

"Yes. Thank you for your help." Meng Xingchen smiled at the three of them.

"Mr. Meng, I need to verify your identity." The middle-aged man shook the phone in his hand and smiled at Meng Xingchen.

"It's my duty." Meng Xingchen nodded.

However, he thought the other party was just checking the photos, but he didn't expect the middle-aged man to raise his mobile phone, turn on the flash, and take a few photos of him.

After fiddling with his phone for more than ten seconds, the middle-aged man looked up and said with a smile, "Mr. Meng, I'm sorry, but we still have to go through the necessary procedures."

"It's okay." Meng Xingchen nodded again.

"Take down the equipment." The middle-aged man then said to the dark green vehicle behind.

There were the sounds of footsteps, and several young men jumped out of the vehicle, taking the two boxes with them.

"Mr. Meng, please take a look and see if there is anything missing." The middle-aged man asked someone to put the box next to Meng Xingchen, and then spoke again.

Without Meng Xingchen's instructions, Ye Zihong walked forward and opened the two boxes to take a look.

Facing these people, Ye Zihong was obviously a little uncomfortable, but she still quickly checked all the equipment.

After reading it, she turned around and made an OK gesture to Meng Xingchen.

"Mr. Meng, I have a phone here. If you need anything, you can call me. We will also take back the equipment after it is used up."

When the middle-aged man saw that Ye Zihong had finished checking, he took out a business card and handed it to Meng Xingchen.

"Thank you." Meng Xingchen thanked him, took it and looked down.

There was just a phone number and the name "Zhang Jun" on it. Nothing else.

"That's all." After the middle-aged man finished explaining, he asked a few people to get on the dark green vehicle, then started and left.

After watching the vehicle go away, Li Kan behind Meng Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xingchen, do we have to do this every time in the future?" Ye Zihong also walked to Meng Xingchen and muttered.

"Don't be afraid." Meng Xingchen grinned, "As long as we can make some achievements, this won't be the case soon."

"That's great." Li Kan behind him also whispered, "Brother Meng, every time I see these people, I get scared."

"You will get used to it slowly in the future." Meng Xingchen instructed the two, "Take our equipment with you and go to the first target location first."

……

In Jiangnan City, on an island in the middle of a lake.

At this time, five members of the special operations team were also hiding on the island fully armed.

Lu Cheng took out his phone and took a look at it, then pressed the Bluetooth headset on his ear and whispered, "Lao Ma, Meng Xingchen also took action tonight. He went to Beishan and it seems that he is preparing to try out the mutant wolfhounds."

A few seconds later, the voice of Bearded Old Ma came from the headset, "This kid is a real doer."

"It's no use if you really work hard." Another young man's voice came out, "You have to have the ability to work hard! Hehe... It feels good to think that there are people who are out here in the middle of the night, drinking the wind like us."

"Shut up!" Lu Cheng scolded in a low voice without waiting for the bearded old horse to speak, "You are the only one who complains a lot!" "Hehe..." The young man laughed softly and said, "Old Ma, brothers, do you think we can get anything from Meng Xingchen tonight?"

"Bullshit!" A new voice joined in, "We've been there more than once, and we only found and killed two mutant wolfhounds with the help of the 'Spirit Snake', a little snake that sometimes worked and sometimes didn't. Don't even think about counting on Meng Xingchen to deal with them!"

"Yeah." The young man said, "I actually don't want Meng Xingchen to encounter a pack of mutant wolfhounds. With his abilities, it's too dangerous!"

"Okay, shut up!" The bearded old horse's voice sounded at this moment, "Everyone keep an eye on your positions. If you find any mutant creatures coming ashore, report at any time!"

"Yes."

"Yes."

Seeing Hu Zi Lao Ma speak, the others responded and became quiet again.

……

"Whoosh whoosh..."

In an open area in the forest of Beishan, Meng Xingchen climbed up a big tree like a monkey and first covered a hidden camera.

After that, he jumped down from the tree again and found another one.

Since he accepted the task, he had his own way of doing things and didn't want to be monitored by others all the time.

After Meng Xingchen dealt with the hidden surveillance camera, Ye Zihong and Li Kan also came out from their hiding places.

Ye Zihong walked around quickly, occasionally stopping at bushes and trees.

Meng Xingchen and Li Kan opened the boxes they were carrying and took out various equipment.

Ten minutes later, Ye Zihong walked back to the two of them and whispered, "There are traces of territorial auras left by wolf-canine creatures nearby, and some of them are very fresh. They should be marks left in the last two or three days."

Ye Zihong also had some experience in jungle survival when he was learning firearms in Nanmi District, which could be used at this moment.

"Sister Hong, find a sniper position." Meng Xingchen nodded, "We will wait here tonight."

The information provided by the special operations team is very detailed, and the pictures and video materials are very comprehensive.

In the afternoon, Ye Zihong circled four target locations based on various information.

Now this place is the first position circled out.

"Ah."

Ye Zihong nodded, picked up his equipment, and walked towards a nearby high ground.

At this moment, Ye Zihong's whole body was covered with a black ointment, which looked very strange.

Meng Xingchen asked on the way, and Ye Zihong said that it could cover up the smell and also prevent mosquitoes.

Ye Zihong went to the sniper position that had been planned in advance to prepare, while Meng Xingchen and Li Kan arranged all the necessary equipment in the open space in the forest.

Finally, Meng Xingchen removed the black plastic tape covering the "mutated red fruit tree" and placed the entire mutated red fruit tree next to the two of them.

"Brother Meng, can this thing really lure out those mutant wolfhounds?" Li Kan looked at the mutant red fruit tree that was more than a foot tall and asked Meng Xingchen in a low voice.

"Not sure." Meng Xingchen said, "Go find some dry wood and we'll light another fire."

"Okay." Li Kan, with a submachine rifle hanging around his neck and a thick rebar in his hand, was looking for dry firewood nearby.

Soon, a bonfire was lit on the clearing in the forest. Amid the flickering flames, two figures were sitting beside the fire, taking out food and drink.

They looked like travelers out camping.

However, between the fire and the two people, the red fruit tree, more than a foot high, and the two green fruits and two red fruits hanging on it, were even more conspicuous.
