The Tokusatsu Era: Starting with Orphnoch

Chapter 65 Special Envoy to the Capital

As the sun sets and its afterglow gradually disappears below the horizon, a bright moon slowly rises, casting its cool light.

At this moment, on the expressway connecting the capital city to Harbin.

Three armored vehicles bearing the insignia of the "Special Operations Bureau" were speeding along the quiet highway.

Then, turning his gaze to the inside of the vehicle, the first thing that caught his eye was the personnel sitting in the two armored vehicles in front and behind.

Both cars had a focused driver in the driver's seat, with both hands gripping the steering wheel tightly and eyes fixed straight ahead.

Behind the driver sat five soldiers in full black armor, their aura clearly indicating that they had undergone rigorous and systematic training.

Upon closer inspection, one can find that these black, fully armored soldiers share some similarities with, yet also differ from, the standard armored Leo cavalry of the Special Operations Bureau.

Their right-hand weapons were distinctive; Leo cavalry typically carried melee weapons such as short swords and laser swords to gain an advantage in close combat.

However, these soldiers in full black armor were uniformly equipped with a semi-circular firing device.

This firing device can fire powerful laser bullets at long range, inflicting fatal damage on the enemy.

It is worth mentioning that these laser bullets did not appear out of thin air.

Their energy source is thanks to the in-depth research on photon energy conducted by the Research Department of the Beijing Special Affairs Bureau during this period.

After a series of complex experiments and explorations, the technical staff of the Imperial Capital Research Department successfully extracted a relatively stable energy source from photon energy and applied it to the manufacture of laser bullets.

Because these bullets produce a laser-like light and effect when fired, they are figuratively named "laser bullets".

Moreover, its destructive power is quite astonishing, enough to penetrate sturdy protective facilities and deliver a heavy blow to the target.

Of course, these black-clad, fully armored soldiers are not without their own strength in close combat.

When the enemy gets close, they can cleverly use the semi-circular shell of the launcher in their hands as a shield.

This unique design not only increases defense but also allows soldiers to react quickly in emergencies, effectively resisting enemy attacks and ensuring their own safety.

Okay, let's turn our attention to the armored vehicle in the middle.

Through the vehicle window, one can see that the personnel inside are no different from those in the two armored vehicles in front and behind. However, what is striking is that among this group of armored soldiers, there is also a middle-aged man with a unique demeanor.

The middle-aged man wore a pair of exquisite silver-rimmed glasses, and his eyes behind the lenses shone with wisdom. He also exuded a strong scholarly air about him.

In addition, he was wearing a well-tailored Special Operations Bureau uniform, which made him look very dignified.

At this moment, the middle-aged man raised his head slightly and asked the driver, who was focused on driving, "Xiao Li, how much longer until we arrive at the Harbin Special Operations Bureau?"

Upon hearing the question, driver Xiao Li didn't dare to delay and quickly glanced at the driving data displayed on the dashboard.

After a moment's thought, he respectfully replied, "Reporting to the special envoy from Wudao Island, based on our current speed and route, we are about an hour and a half away from our destination—the Harbin Special Operations Bureau."

"If you, Special Envoy, have urgent business and need to speed up, I can increase the vehicle's speed even further!"

The special envoy from Wudao Island waved his hand gently and said with a smile, "There's no need for that. I just wanted to know the approximate time. I'm not in a hurry."

"You just need to ensure driving safety and smoothly deliver us to the Harbin Special Operations Bureau." After saying this, the special envoy from Wudao Island fell silent so as not to disturb the driver's focus on driving.

The driver, Xiao Li, nodded after receiving the instructions and continued to concentrate on steering the vehicle, which steadily moved along the designated route.

Wudao picked up an exquisite book from beside him and began to read it.

As the pages of the book were turned, the soft rustling of paper could be heard from time to time in the carriage, a sound that was particularly clear in the quiet atmosphere.

After driving forward for nearly half an hour, the armored vehicle in front suddenly braked hard without warning, the screeching sound of brakes instantly cutting through the air.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Li, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was startled and quickly slammed on the brake pedal.

With a screeching sound from the wheels rubbing violently against the ground, the vehicle suddenly stopped, followed by a jolt.

Inside the vehicle, Udo and the other armored soldiers were involuntarily thrown forward, but fortunately the seat belts worked in time to prevent them from hitting the windshield.

Once the car had finally come to a stop, Wudao immediately demanded, "What happened? Why did you suddenly brake so hard up front?"

Driver Xiao Li broke out in a light sweat, then took a deep breath and replied, "Special Envoy, I don't know either. The armored vehicle in front suddenly braked, and I could only slow down and brake as soon as I saw it."

Just as the two were talking, a soldier dressed in black armor jumped out of the armored vehicle in front of them.

He moved quickly, and after landing, he turned around and walked briskly toward the vehicle where Wudao was located.

Once the armored soldier approached the vehicle, Wudao confirmed his identity through the car window.

The armored soldier gave a standard military salute and then reported: "Reporting to the special envoy, not far ahead of the convoy, on the downhill section, there is a large truck that has tilted and overturned in the middle of the road for some unknown reason."

Because of its enormous size, the vehicle has completely blocked the road ahead, and we are currently unable to proceed.

Upon hearing this, Wu Dao frowned and asked, "Didn't the truck driver call the highway patrol for help?"

The soldier shook his head and replied, "As soon as we discovered the situation, we contacted the local highway patrol department, and they said they would arrive at the scene soon to handle it."

However, based on current information, the truck driver was trapped inside the cab and, due to the severity of his injuries, had fallen into a coma, likely too late to call for help.

"Since the highway patrol has already been notified, you all need to get over there quickly and rescue the injured truck driver first!"

"But... sir, our primary mission is to ensure your personal safety!" the armored soldier captain inside the vehicle said with a troubled expression.

Wu Dao frowned, waved his hands forcefully, and said, "Stop talking nonsense! The situation is critical, lives are at stake, saving lives is the priority!"

Besides, I'll just read a book in this armored vehicle for a while; there won't be any danger.

Besides, Xiao Li is with me, so don't worry, everything will be fine. Execute the order!

The armored soldier captain knew Udo's character well; once he made a decision, it was difficult to change it.
