Gu Heng opened his eyes, his thoughts returning to reality.

"How did you get here? Aren't the drop locations random?" An Ru asked as soon as she arrived.

He turned his head, about to say something, when he suddenly felt a chill on his lips. He reached out and touched it—it was covered in blackened blood plasma. But he was unfazed and simply wiped it off with his sleeve. At the same time, he started the car—only this time in a different direction.

“I have two new plans. You can listen to them on the way to the second outpost, and then we can discuss which one to use.” Gu Heng didn’t explain much and went straight to the point. “I think the first plan is safer. After collecting the fragments of the ‘Destiny Rule’, we’ll stay where we are and attract more ‘us’ from different nodes. Then I’ll detonate the mind links, causing them all to go brain-dead. But if it’s the node of that ‘He Yu’ operative, this plan can be postponed a bit. The success rate is nine percent…”
