New York, USA.
Three hours ago, six soldiers landed at Kennedy International Airport.
Naturally, the warriors dispatched this time were not all of Asian faces. For the sake of future operations, all the warriors held US citizenship. Among them, there were four westerners, two men and two women, whose ages varied. They claimed to come from various states with some being in their twenties and some in their thirties.
As soon as they got off the plane, they dispersed according to the plan. Two of the western male warriors were first responsible for collecting information about all of New York City. The strategies were similar to those in Bangkok: using money or a gun, making ’friends,’ or improving the data borrowed from the internet, the police station, and other government or non-government institutions.
However, these were not the main focus, as they did not plan to implement the same procedures here as in Bangkok. Instead, they provided data support for the security operations of the other four bodyguards.
These two warriors had two main tasks. The first task was to collect information about the various regions of the United States, including geography, environment, business, economy, politics, the law, and everything else of possible value. After all, he did not fully trust the internet.
The second main focus was the various libraries in the United States. Their purpose was to gain knowledge and not access scientific research data. Many essential things and historical documents, ’secrets’ and ’gossips’ were stored on paper and could not be found on the internet. Consequently, this task required the robots to go to various libraries or museums in the United States to ’read’ books and improve the database of the command room.
Tang Qing had initially considered whether these two objectives were necessary. However, seeing that one should know oneself as well as the enemy to become invincible in battle, he did not trust the information on the internet at all. He thought that even he, who did not have much influence, could already manipulate ’the truth’. Hence, he was more skeptical about information on the internet, believing that those were just things that others wanted you to know. Regardless, if common people believed them, it wouldn’t matter whether this information was real or not.
But Tang Qing was different. As a future opponent, if everything about them could be known from the internet alone, he wouldn’t just find that absurd, but he would think it to be nonsense.
Moreover, once the communication server is established, he plans to partly execute Tang Yi’s internet surveillance plan. In the future, apart from the information he wants the general public to know, any guess about his secret would not be allowed for public discussion and exposure. For example, any speculations or news related to governments in Bangkok would be deleted immediately.
Of course, this wouldn’t fully plug the leak. In the future, he might intervene in the transmission of information through television, radio, newspapers, etc., just in different ways. He might not even know what the specific method would be now, but the command center would plan this out, so he was too lazy to think about these tricks.
The reason is simple. He didn’t want his parents and wife to know that his hands were indirectly stained with blood. He would rather let his family and Lin Jiaxue know that he was a businessman, even possibly the world’s richest man. He would rather be the brother who is bullied by his sister, the brother who is bullied by his older sister, and the boss who is teased by his employees. But he didn’t want them to know that so many people died under his command. Bullying them would not make him imposing; instead, it would make them worry more.
The other four bodyguards began to play their roles. They quickly found the place where Tang Qing’s cousin Tang Nian lived according to the address provided by Tang Qing’s uncle. They scouted the place first, and the weapons and such were to be purchased collectively later after the establishment of the security company.
Tang Qing originally didn’t plan to recruit outsiders for the security company. However, he couldn’t possibly let these warriors execute all the tasks in the future, right? He still needed some outsiders to make his force look normal. If all were people with household registrations, passports, and ’customized’ educational background and life experience, but they only existed on paper, and never happened in reality, it would be strange if they didn’t attract attention.
This was also the deficiency of the identity information provided by the system. It could forge any recorded information but couldn’t alter people’s thoughts. Things they hadn’t seen were truly things they hadn’t seen. So, to make his soldiers less conspicuous, he decided to recruit some outsiders. First of all, they would serve as a cover, and secondly, they would strengthen his power. In case of emergency, at least he would be able to mobilize some people. After all, the number of teleportation nodes was limited.
But only ordinary tasks would be assigned to these outsiders. Important tasks would never be left to them. Tang Qing did not fully trust them.

Southern part of a suburban area in Bangkok.
A large clothing store had been bought by a Chinese person two days ago. The store had been closed since the purchase. The other businessmen in the neighborhood were criticizing him behind his back. The store had ample stock to start a business, but for each day it remained closed, there were losses. But the Chinese buyer seemed to not care. He didn’t even visit the store, let alone open it.
This was the store bought by the warrior with the teleportation node, to be used for teleporting warriors and materials.
The main reason to buy this store was not because of having ample clothes. After all, they could simply find a residential or abandoned place and clothes for a car would be enough. Instead, the store had a large basement to store logistic materials and a huge underground parking lot directly connected to the back door. Although it did not have the advantages, the comprehensive score was the highest in terms of space, location, and concealment.
In the last two days, the warrior who held the teleportation node had not gone out. Instead, he stayed in the basement, cleaning and arranging the environment, preparing for the upcoming plan.
It was nine in the morning.
By this time, the entire basement had been tidied up. One side was filled with all kinds of clothes, and the other side had a high pile of Thai baht, amounting to tens of millions of RMB.
In addition to this, there were also some weapon and ammunition racks. However, there were no weapons and ammunition at the moment, because the warriors in the dispatching area of the command center had already equipped themselves with weapons. The racks here were to store ammunition when other places needed teleportation nodes in the future.
The warrior took out the ’ping-pong ball’ from his pocket and placed it on the ground, taking a few steps back.
Apart from other unusual phenomena, the teleportation node began to teleport at a speed of ten every ten minutes.
In a short while, several people appeared here one after another. They were men and women of different ages. After they changed their clothes and took the necessary items, they left in a hurry, disappearing into the crowds, rushing to their respective destinations, and carrying out their tasks.
Once a group was done and left, the next group was teleported.
A total of one hundred and sixty people. It took nearly three hours to get them all out there.
No one knew what was going to happen. Even Tang Qing couldn’t imagine how powerful these plans will make him in the future.
