Chapter 681 Rush

In just ten seconds, Andun found out the origin of this mansion and the source of all the high-energy nutrients.

"This house and the surrounding properties are illegal gang assets. Three years ago, it was rented out to a citizen named Li. He has a complicated background, having worked as a client and a mercenary. Records show he returned to the house once a month, but there has been no news of him in over a month, and no trace of his whereabouts can be found.

All the high-energy nutrients came from public procurement channels in other central cities. The buyers were all small companies registered less than six months ago. The earliest available record was three years ago. Specific records need to be checked in other central cities. It is inferred that this batch of high-energy nutrients was delivered to the city in batches and then stored here..."

Chen Chuan thought for a moment and told his men, "Send someone to transport all these high-energy nutrients away and seal off this place temporarily."

After dealing with the situation here, it only took about ten minutes to find another warehouse. It had the same layout, was also filled with high-energy nutrients, and had also been moved.

But there is one difference. Some fresh traces were found here, proving that the queen insect had just been here. According to monitoring, it was less than two hours apart.

In other words, they withdrew just as the security personnel entered this area. Chen Chuan immediately arranged for the combat creatures to follow the pit through which they left.

It is impossible for this modified creature to eliminate its traces on its own, so the chances of finding it this time are very high.

This was indeed the case. In just half an hour, the fighting creatures that entered the underground came into contact and fought with some newly bred larvae. From time to time, scenes of biting and rolling could be heard from underground.

This means that the queen is not far away.

Yuan Qiyuan and others ran quickly on the ground according to the location pointed out by Andun. Although the larvae they encountered posed an obstacle, they also clearly pointed out a path where the mother insect might exist.

After all, the larvae were few in number, and they did not eat much nutrition after birth. They could not resist the continuous influx of combat creatures at all, and soon there were no obstacles in front of them.

However, as these fighting creatures rushed forward, the picture from above suddenly became pitch black. Not only those who rushed forward first, but also those who came later disappeared almost in an instant.

But the team members above couldn't help but feel excited, which meant that their tracking had worked and this time they were very likely to find the real culprit.

Yuan Qiyuan and the other two finally settled down in one position based on the information conveyed by the boundary certificate.

"This is it."

The three of them looked at each other, and then Yuan Qiyuan and Su Wei focused their attention on Qin Qingque. The latter raised an extended spear he had brought with him, turned the gun tip upside down and pointed it at the ground, then took a breath.

After a moment, she pushed the spear into the ground. With a whoosh, almost three-fifths of the spear went into the ground. Then she shouted, shook the spear handle, and the mud above it cracked and collapsed, revealing a cave. The spear was stuck in a creature about two meters in size.

However, this thing was covered with a lot of mud, so its original appearance could not be seen clearly. Only a part of its smooth shell with some spots on it could be seen.

Qin Qingque held the gun handle with both hands, took two steps back, shouted again, and exerted force with both arms, and picked the thing out from under the ground!

When they reached the top, with the falling of the mud, they could finally see this thing. Its body was shaped like an inverted weight, with a smooth shell, curved limbs and claws on its abdomen and sides, multiple compound eyes on its head, and retractable spikes on its back. At this time, accompanied by a strange hissing sound from its abdomen, it popped out and stabbed towards Qin Qingque.

Qin Qingque remained calm. She just shook the gun lightly, and the force on its body was immediately dispersed. The sharp spikes that were stabbing at it became soft and powerless. Then she turned sideways, lifted the thing up, pressed it down, and with a bang, she slammed it heavily on the ground!

The insect was thrown down and made a strange and shrill scream.

Yuan Qiyuan said at this time: "Let me do it!" He raised the stick in his hand high and suddenly smashed it at the insect, and the air burst into a powerful whistling sound.

This blow can at least blow up most of the insect's body.

But at this moment, he suddenly realized something was wrong. He turned the stick in the air and unexpectedly turned halfway to the other side, and immediately hit something. The force of that thing actually drove the head of the stick out.

He glanced and saw that the direction was towards Qin Qingque, and the thing on it was very likely to fly and hit the latter, so he hurriedly retracted his strength, but he was already exerting force, and being able to change direction in a hurry showed his excellent coordination ability, but at this moment he did not have much strength to retract it.

After seeing this, Su Wei immediately threw out a lasso, wrapped it around the stick head, and then pulled it. But even so, both of them were driven back several steps by this force, leaving several deep footprints on the ground.

Only after they stopped did they see clearly that what made them look so embarrassed was just a slingshot with several small metal balls at the end. They were shocked.

Judging from the situation, this thing was thrown from at least one or two kilometers away. Even from such a long distance, it can still bring out such great power. This must be thrown by a master!

And at the moment this thing was thrown out, Chao Ming let out a whistling sound in the air.

Chen Chuan's eyes flashed. Although blocked by the building, he could instantly see the fighter who threw the slingshot through Chao Ming.

The man was wearing a gray smock that covered him from head to toe. He was very tall and broad, with hard stubble sticking out from the hood, covering the upper half of his face and revealing his well-defined chin.

It is worth noting that there is a knife on the waist. Judging from the scabbard alone, it is about one and a half palms wide. It is obviously very wide, but not very long. There are many carvings on the scabbard that are severely worn.

This person is standing on the roof of a tall building at the moment, but just standing there makes people feel very stable. This external manifestation not only involves his own center of gravity, but also involves a certain spiritual aura.

He stared at this person. As expected, this person should be the captain that the three people mentioned.

It is logically speaking very unwise for this person to show up at this moment, because showing up means revealing his whereabouts. The processing bureau will definitely try to hunt him down next, even if they didn't have this idea originally, they will pay attention to it in the future.

However, considering that the queen insect is indeed very important to it, it is not too strange that it appears here.

And this time he came here with the purpose of luring this person out, so the place where he is standing at the moment is at least three kilometers away from the search area. Maybe he didn't see anyone strong enough at the scene, so he dared to take action.

The man heard the whistling sound and looked up at the sky, but it was a rainy day and there were thick dark clouds above, so he could only see vague shadows.

But at this moment he should have realized that he had been discovered, so he untied another ball rope from under his waist, turned it around twice in his hand, and suddenly threw it into the sky!

Almost in the blink of an eye, this thing appeared in the sky and instantly turned into a black dot that was difficult to see with the naked eye.

Chao Ming just flapped its wings lightly above and avoided the ball rope thrown at it. Now it was at least three or four kilometers away from the ground. Even if it attacked an ordinary bird from the ground, it might not be able to hit it, let alone a bird like it with alienated tissues. It was impossible to hit it at all.

After seeing this, the man did not insist any longer, but turned around and jumped off the tall building, and began to move at high speed along an alley with obstacles and cover.

Chao Ming immediately flapped its wings and chased after him, but in order to gain visibility, it had to lower its altitude. At a certain moment, the man suddenly disappeared. It must have gone into a house somewhere.

So Chao Ming circled around this area, trying to find out where it was, but at this moment, the skylight on a tall building suddenly collapsed, and a ball rope flew out rapidly from it!

This time it was extremely abrupt. Not only was it faster than before, but the location it came from was more hidden and higher.

However, when facing danger, Chao Ming suddenly folded his wings, and his body suddenly stretched straight, almost like a line from front to back. Instead of dodging, he accelerated his jump and slipped through the twisting rope by a hair's breadth. Then he spread his wings and avoided behind another tall building, while letting out a long chirp.

The man just wanted to use the building as cover to lure it down so that he could kill it as an obvious spy in the air, while Chao Ming also used himself as bait to try to lure it out.

Both of them are taking risks, but Chao Ming is taking a greater risk. If he is not careful, he may be entangled. With the force of the casting rope, it is very likely that his tendons and bones will be torn and his wings will be broken.

Seeing that he still couldn't capture Chao Ming, the man seemed to give up and jumped down from a building dozens of meters high. He landed on the ground intact with a bang and then ran quickly into the shadowy alley between the tall buildings.

In the back, Chen Chuan was rushing over like a swift shadow. Although the two sides were quite far apart, with the help of Chao Ming's high-altitude observation, he was always moving in the right direction. He also used Jie Ping and Andun to analyze and outline the other party's possible escape route and destination.

While he was running, when he passed into an alley, he suddenly felt a sense of alarm in his heart. With a loud bang, the entire street exploded almost at the same time, and the blast instantly swept him in.
