Inside the interrogation room, Edward Carter contacted Baldy Wood and said, “Boss, we’ve found something. They confessed that their leader is called Clark, but this person is deeply hidden and has never shown his real face.”

“If he were really stupid, could he have hidden under our noses for so long?”

Baldy Wood picked up his cup and took a sip of water. “No matter how cunning a fox is, it will show its tail eventually.

The show must go on. Let Samuel Thompson join as usual, arrange patrols and leave just like everyone else, and give them opportunities.”

Edward Carter hesitated for a moment and asked, “What about the military law office?”

“That’s my business. Your job is to dig out every one of these sons of bitches and drown them.”

In his office, Baldy Wood hung up the phone and let out a long sigh.

“Looks like the method is working, but if we want to dig out all these vermin, five days probably won’t be enough.”

He muttered to himself, then picked up the phone on his desk.

“Connect...

Get Deputy Director Lin...”“~Old comrade~ hey~ hey hey~ don’t hang up~ beep beep...”“Ding~ damn it~ Lin Bighead, you son of a...”...

The next day, the reveille sounded.

Samuel Thompson got up nimbly, with Edward Carter beside him, now serving as his personal security.

The act began.

Since they were part of the Wu’an Army, of course, they had to patrol.

Today’s patrol covered a hundred-kilometer stretch of the Lin’an River, both upstream and downstream.

As a major transportation artery, the Lin’an River often saw the appearance of demonized beasts that needed to be cleared in time—that was the Wu’an Army’s job.

Led by a veteran, Samuel Thompson boarded a Linjiang-class patrol boat.

This type of boat had a nickname: the “River Reincarnation Boat,” equipped with a 130mm Vulcan cannon at both the front and rear, and four 30mm rapid-response autocannons.

Samuel Thompson curiously touched the barrel of the Vulcan cannon. This big guy was really something—one shot, one kill.

“Stand still, let me take a picture of you.”

Edward Carter quickly snapped a photo and sent it to Baldy Wood.

Very soon, before the patrol boat even started, Samuel Thompson saw that the ‘Nemesis of the Blood God Cult in Jiangbei’ had posted a new update.

The attached photo was the one just taken.

“To the scum of the Blood God Cult, thank you for the merits you sent yesterday. Keep it up, I’m already~ itching~” The patrol boat started up. Along the way, they had to disembark to check the sensors installed in various places—a boring process.

After a whole day, they left early and returned late.

On the way back to camp, Edward Carter asked, “How do you feel?”

“Pretty good~” Samuel Thompson nodded.

Really, he wasn’t lying just because he got three hundred thousand.

It was his most direct feeling.

After all, there weren’t many places where you could encounter seven demonized monster fish in a single day. The strongest one had reached the high stage of the Stone-Splitting Realm, perfect for his refining.

Working here, he didn’t have to worry about resources, and he could just lie back and collect interest on his three hundred thousand. It was just too good.

Of course, on the second day, a little incident happened.

The outpost got a new chief.

The new outpost chief: Baldy Wood.

Yeah, just as you thought, he got demoted.

The reason—there were many.

...

Under the night.

In a room in the dock area, thick curtains blocked out all light.

Clark wiped his face with a yellowed undershirt, then produced a sphere in his hand and tossed it down.

A blue light flickered, and a slender figure appeared, with pointed ears and a fluffy big tail.

“Didn’t you say not to contact unless necessary?”

A cultured voice came from Vixen.

“The goods are crossing the river tonight, on the Jiangtun freighter.”

“Why so sudden?”

Vixen frowned, then relaxed and said, “I heard things are lively in Jiangbei. Is it really a good time to deliver?”

Clark glanced at Vixen and said, “You don’t trust me?”

“We’ve traded twice already, of course I trust you.”

Vixen licked her lips and said, “Then I’ll get ready to receive the goods.”

“What about what I want?”

“When I get the goods, someone will deliver what you want to you.”

Vixen licked the corner of her mouth and said, “It’s a waste for you to stay in Jiangbei, always being targeted by that useless brother of yours who sells his ass. Why not join my cult and show your talents in a bigger world?”

Creak~ With no response, Clark crushed the sphere underfoot.

He turned to the window, peering through the gap at the river. Under the night, a freighter slowly docked.

The cargo hold opened, and trucks drove out one after another.

On the dock, trucks were also lined up, waiting to board.

Wiping his face with the towel on his shoulder, Clark opened the door and walked out, driving his own truck toward the dock.

On the dock, trucks waited for inspection before boarding. Each truck had to enter a sealed passage for a full scan.

Clark drove forward bit by bit, and soon, only one truck was left in front of him.

He lowered his head, leaning on the steering wheel.

Buzz—He took out his phone from his pocket and dialed several numbers at once.

“God says, tonight I am with you.”

A deep voice was transmitted.

...

Boom!

Not far away, a warehouse burst into flames—boom! boom!
