Chapter 176 Sneaking In

After tuning the walkie-talkie, Lu Nange and the others changed into all black—a black hat, black boots—and blended into the darkness...

Lu Nange held Lu Beiye's hand tightly, Zhizhi curled up on her shoulder, and the leaves moved without wind.

Gangzi led the way...

Behind him followed Chi Yanzhou, Lu Xici, and He Zhuo.

After navigating through a maze of alleys, Gangzi stopped in front of a high wall, indicating that this was the place.

Before me lies a renovated residential area, surrounded by a three-meter-high wall densely covered with barbed wire.

The flickering candlelight shone through the cracks in the brickwork, mixed with the faint sounds of human voices.

Lu Nange closed her eyes and concentrated, her spiritual power spreading out like ripples.

Since absorbing the crystal core of the mutated octopus, her superpowers have undergone a qualitative leap...

The translucent wind shield formed by the current wind system can hover for a long time, like an invisible wall...

Unless she takes it back herself, it will remain indefinitely, and it's unknown whether A-Ye's golden shield will be upgraded in the future.

The detection range of mental power has been extended to more than 100 meters away. For example, the breathing of the guards inside the wall can now be clearly heard.

"Blind spot on the right." She tapped her fingertip lightly, her mental energy entangling the consciousness of the two patrolmen.

The two felt a sharp pain in their heads and before they could make a sound, they collapsed limply to the ground.

Using the vines, the group nimbly scaled the high wall, then landed steadily on the top.

He Zhuo, who remained standing there, clicked his tongue in amazement: "Is he really that handsome? A Ye's legs are so short, how does he manage to climb over the wall so smoothly?"

Inside the wall, Lu Nange looked at Gangzi.

The macaw flapped its wings and flew over the wall, landing on He Zhuo's shoulder.

"Baldy." The macaw's low voice was particularly eerie in the night: "Quick...quack quack quack."

[What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and flip through it!]

He Zhuo jumped in fright: "Holy crap! Gang Ge, can you talk somewhere else? It's the middle of the night...it's creepy..."

Gangzi: "Quack, quack, beauty, quack, quack..."

[You're such a fussman, even the beauty said she wanted some peace and quiet...]

He Zhuo felt like he was being scolded: "Okay, okay, I was wrong..."

He used the vines to cling to the top of the wall, his buttocks sticking out high...

As if unable to bear it any longer, the vines grew wildly, wrapping He Zhuo in a green cocoon, and "whoosh," flung him into the wall, gently tugging him as he landed.

Zhizhi: "Chirp chirp chirp..."

[Master, aren't I clever? It's okay if he falls, but the noise is too loud and might disturb you!]

Lu Nange: "Zhizhi is smart!"

The vines snapped back, but He Zhuo remained in the position of sticking his butt out and clinging to the wall.

Chi Yanzhou: "Let's go!"

He Zhuo jumped up, dusting himself off as he twisted his waist: "Yan-ge, I can understand why you say Mei Bao looks cool climbing the wall, but how come A Ye's legs are so smooth, even though they're so short?"

"I can hear you!" Lu Beiye puffed out his cheeks, and a small dart popped out of his palm with a "poof".

"Oh my little darling!" He Zhuo's expression immediately changed, and he gave a thumbs up: "Brother means your skills are absolutely amazing!"

Lu Xici: "Shut up! We're here to get down to business. Are we coming or not?"

He Zhuo immediately made a zipper gesture near his mouth, smiled obsequiously, bowed, and gestured with both hands in a "please" manner.

Gangzi shrank to a tiny size and continued to lead the way in mid-air.

After passing through several buildings, it lightly landed back on Lu Nange's shoulder: "My beauty, here, here."

The crowd stood by the wall, looking inside.

Suddenly, a bright and open space appeared before them—a vacant lot surrounded by ruined buildings was crowded with people, and torches illuminated the center.

Lu Nange placed Zhizhi on Gangzi's back: "You two go and stay in mid-air."

Gangzi flapped its wings and flew into the air...

Lu Nange and the others lowered their hat brims and dispersed, blending into the crowd.

In the center of the open space, Liu Ping stood to one side, holding Tian Tian tightly in her arms.

Jin Ye lay sprawled on the ground, seemingly lifeless. Beside him stood a middle-aged man with graying temples, shouting hoarsely, "Jin Ye died at the hands of those ruthless devils!"

He pointed into the darkness: "Those people...they can even kill mutated octopuses...we can't afford to mess with them!"
