My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!-Chapter 802 - 482 Orphanage

At noon, a group of seven or eight cyclists braved the scorching sun, riding along a coastal path.

"Keep it up, everyone! The next rest spot is not far ahead. We’ll rest there for an hour and replenish water!"

"Got it!" "Sure thing!"

The leading captain called out, and the team soon reached a panoramic viewpoint.

"Captain, this place has a nice view." A cyclist next to the leading captain said while drinking, surveying the surroundings.

Indeed, the scenery here was excellent. On the left was the vast sea, with waves crashing against the cliffs below, creating a spray of water.

On the right was a coastal town, with scattered buildings mostly concentrated on a small flatland at the foot of the mountain.

"Of course, this is Jinghai Town. Although its geographic location is somewhat remote, the natural landscape is well preserved.

Hey! Elder Cat, don’t you like aerial shots? I carefully selected this as the best viewing point."

"Haha! Thanks for the heads-up, captain. I’ll send everyone an aerial MV later."

The man called Elder Cat was in the center of the group, dressed as an ordinary cyclist like the others.

He smiled, removed his sunglasses, and took out a small folding drone from his backpack to unravel it.

"Hehe! I’ve been waiting for you to say that."

The captain chuckled, looking at the small drone in the man’s hands, showing a hint of envy on his face.

"Wow! The latest DJ Mavic 2 series drone, costs over ten thousand on the market, right?"

"Oh! Really? Never thought, Elder Cat, you’re quite wealthy."

"Send the MV to me as well later!"

Everyone laughed and chimed in.

"Haha! No problem!"

"Elder Cat," or rather, Ning Shisan whose real code name was "Black Cat," smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Buzz~" The drone buzzed and sprang into the air.

After hovering over people’s heads for a while, it gradually ascended and flew away, seemingly searching for a scene to shoot, heading towards the coastal town.

Ning Shisan controlled the drone’s direction while watching the aerial footage on his phone, looking like an ordinary aerial enthusiast.

In reality, his gaze remained fixed on a certain building on the screen.

Jinghai Town.

It was a remote town on the eastern coast, gradually developed from a small fishing village.

Surrounded by mountains on three sides, the population was only over 20,000, maintaining considerable natural scenery and a simple folk atmosphere.

The local major economic pillars were tourism, fishing, and seafood processing.

In this inconspicuous seaside town, there was a small orphanage built halfway up the mountain, away from the town, seemingly insignificant, providing shelter for local orphans and disabled children.

Indeed, this orphanage was named —

"Jinghai Welfare Institute"!

This key location mentioned repeatedly in Meng Lang’s autobiography had finally surfaced.

Recently, Ning Shisan began a mission to track Zhao Hu.

With city road surveillance and drone cooperation, the other’s every move was under close remote monitoring.

Everything was calm... until the other night, Zhao Hu walked into a small forest near the orphanage.

Two days passed, and he vanished without a trace.

Clearly, it seemed like an inconspicuous small orphanage, yet Ning Shisan dared not act recklessly.

Even approaching within a 5-kilometer range of the orphanage required blending in and disguising as cyclists.

Not surprising that even a top mercenary who’s survived battlefield gunfire would be so cautious.

Indeed, Meng Lang’s intelligence was too terrifying...

[Enemy base: Jinghai Welfare Institute.

Caution distance: Unknown.

Reconnaissance methods: Undefined.

Enemy abilities: Eavesdropping, parasitism, alteration, mental control, etc.

Enemy characteristic: Unspeakable entity.

Warning! Warning! Warning!

Your every move may be under enemy surveillance, every word may attract their attention, leading to catastrophic disaster...

Mission suggestion: Hush~]

If it were someone else, Ning Shisan would have dismissed such cryptic and nonsensical intelligence.

But that person was the mysterious one...

The one who could influence a local war with just him in Syria, stealing artifacts effortlessly, a mysterious organization he deemed almost omnipotent...

So he dared not leave anything to chance.

The level of confrontation seemed to have transcended ordinary human realms.

This time, if he dared to be thoughtless, it was akin to hastening his own death!

Faced with such a terrible enemy whose reconnaissance methods and caution distance were elusive, Ning Shisan had already seen the small Jinghai Town as a den of dragons and tigers.

"Going in is impossible, they’d have to kill me first..."

Ning Shisan mused inwardly.

Uncertain why, perhaps due to instincts honed from long battleground experience.

Or maybe a premonition linked to his own tragic fate in another space-time...

Seeing the slightly dilapidated three-story building in the aerial footage, he couldn’t help but feel a chill.

As though witnessing a bloodthirsty maw ready to devour...

...

"Buzz~"

Jinghai Welfare Institute.

An elderly woman in her seventies suddenly sensed something and looked towards the sky as she wandered on the courtyard.

Her eyesight had long deteriorated, but she seemed determined to capture something in the sky.

It wasn’t until the small black dot fleetingly passed over the orphanage and quickly vanished that she withdrew her gaze.

"These days, annoying flies seem to have increased..."

The old woman’s voice was extremely hoarse, resembling metal scraping on glass.

"Grandma! It’s just a nearby group of travelers, someone released a drone for aerial shots, I saw it on TV!"

The little girl beside the elderly lady, holding a puppy, said innocently with a smile.

If Ning Shisan were here, he would’ve been utterly shocked.

Despite being several kilometers apart, the other seemed to know their team situation as if firsthand...

If real infiltration were attempted...

Minutes away from out.

"Whimper~" The white-haired puppy in the girl’s arms whined twice.

The elderly woman reached out to rub the puppy’s head, instantly calming it.

"Drone... Human mechanics are becoming more advanced."

"Indeed, the brilliance of civilization on the brink of extinction, much like a splendid firework~"

The little girl said it with pure innocence, yet her words gave a chilling feeling.

"Haha! Precisely why, the Nest’s decision shifted from conservative to proactive.

Future human civilization will be far more lively than now..."

"Hee-hee! I’m really looking forward to it~"

The elderly woman gently patted the girl’s head, her wrinkled face pulling into a smile.

Her gaze towards the little girl was filled with satisfaction, as though she was...

Looking at a perfect masterpiece?

"Roar~"

Just then, a faint beast-like roar emerged from deep within the welfare institute.

Ordinary ears wouldn’t pick up such subdued sound, yet both the woman and girl simultaneously turned to a specific direction...

"Grandma, this time the experiment subjects seem disappointing."

"Haha! After all, it’s a forced rapid transformation, intense rejection reaction is normal... Let’s go."

"Let me support you, grandma~"

The girl released the puppy, helping the elderly woman.

"Woof woof!" Gaining freedom, the white-haired puppy excitedly ran to a nearby open area.

There, a group of orphans of varying ages were playing with several puppies.

The crisp laughter of children and joyous barks reached beyond the walls.

Some residents passing by outside heard the sounds within, unable to resist smiling slightly.

Kind-hearted old director, innocent little girl, orphans’ joyful laughter.

And a welfare institute full of stray dogs...

Everything appeared harmonious...

And eerie...
