Chapter 570 Exit
Somewhere in the lower city, Guan Xiaohui and Zhen Ping had arrived at the designated pick-up location. Because they were afraid of missing it, they set out early and had been waiting here for a long time.
Fortunately, this location was specially chosen by the resistance organization. It is remote and hidden.
The main reason is that the surrounding sun vines and derivative creatures have almost been destroyed, and the people in the lower city still rely on light for their daily lives. In addition, the dark environment also means that unpredictable enemies and dangerous creatures may be lurking, so basically no one comes here.
After waiting for half an hour, seeing that the time agreed with Lutong Logistics was approaching, but there was still no movement, Guan Xiaohui became a little anxious, "Sister Zhen, he won't be able to find this place, right?"
Zhen Ping comforted her, "Xiaohui, don't worry. The people at Lutong Logistics are very familiar with the Lower Town area. They won't be unable to find us. It will just take a little time at most."
Guan Xiaohui nodded.
After waiting for a few more minutes, when the agreed time was almost up, I heard the sound of a two-wheeled motor vehicle in the distance, and then a dazzling light shone in from the opposite corner, and three two-wheeled motor vehicles drove over in a triangular formation.
Zhen Ping asked Guan Xiaohui to stay where she was while she went forward alone.
After seeing her, two of them stopped in the distance, and one drove over in a motor vehicle. A thick bag could be seen on the rear rack of the vehicle.
When he reached Zhen Ping, he stopped and asked, "What about your packages?"
Zhen Ping said, "Yes, our package."
The man got out of the car, went to the back seat, took out the things, and handed them to her along with the receipt.
Zhen Ping took it, signed the note, handed it back to the other party, and then took the package.
The man took it, looked at it, and then quickly returned to the car. After saying hello to her, with the roar of the engine, he went to meet the two people behind him and quickly left.
Zhen Ping looked at the thing in her hand. In order to prevent the spread of the biological field, this thing was tightly sealed, so she had no way to check it.
In fact, she is not sure now whether the organization asked them to escort the real split body.
She came back, handed it to Guan Xiaohui and said, "Xiaohui, take a look, is this it?"
Guan Xiaohui said, "I'll try." According to the organization, after she underwent the implant surgery, she should be able to feel the field of the split body at close range, even if it was isolated.
So she reached out and pressed it. She didn't feel anything at first, but after a while, a strong field resonance occurred, and in an instant, she felt that her field reception ability was amplified, and all kinds of field information, even including the weak information emitted by some creatures themselves, were transmitted to her.
She felt the implant on the back of her neck suddenly warm up, and her blood and heartbeat quickened. She quickly adjusted it according to the training method, which isolated many invalid information fields. She took two breaths, looked up and said, "Yes, that's it."
"That's good."
Zhen Ping felt relieved, but then she felt nervous again. The organization had entrusted them with such an important task, and she felt a lot of pressure.
She said, "Team Leader Yu told us to hand the item over to a member of the organization named Xiang who was sent from the higher-ups. It's said he was sent from headquarters. As long as we hand it over to him, we'll have completed our mission."
Guan Xiaohui's eyes lit up slightly, "I've never met anyone from headquarters before."
"Well, now that we have the things, let's not delay any longer and set off quickly."
Zhen Ping quickly walked to the two-wheeled motor vehicle parked on the side and sat on it, while Guan Xiaohui sat on the back seat.
Zhen Ping looked at the map that Team Leader Yu had given her in advance, started the car, and drove quickly towards that place with a roar.
About twenty minutes later, the two of them arrived at a blocked tunnel and slowly slowed down. Zhen Ping got out of the car, walked to the front, and looked at the markings. She said, "This is it."
She walked forward and moved away the stones and debris that were piled on top. As soon as these things moved, many insects immediately ran out. Each of them was extremely large, which was not surprising to her.
Guan Xiaohui quickly lit the incense at the back and waved it left and right in front of her, and the insects scattered like a tide.
After the things were cleared, a rusty fence gate was revealed behind. Zhen Ping grabbed it with both hands, twisted it with force, and with a few creaking sounds, the fence gate immediately twisted and deformed, and she pulled it down.
Leaving the door aside, the two walked over and after a few steps they heard the sound of running water. Zhen Ping checked the map and said, "Xiao Hui, this is it. We just need to follow the direction of the water."
After confirming the location, the two immediately changed into waterproof clothing and entered the water. After only about ten meters, Guan Xiaohui seemed to notice something and grabbed Zhen Ping, saying, "Sister Zhen, wait a moment." She spoke anxiously, "There's someone right behind us, about... a kilometer away. They're moving very fast."
Zhen Ping immediately restrained her breath. She made a gesture to Guan Xiaohui, who nodded. The two of them swam back to the shore and hid in the original tunnel.
In the water flow behind, Che Gaoyi and No. 9 were swimming over. However, when they passed the tunnel where Zhen Ping and the other person entered and exited, the former seemed to sense something and looked over there.
He saw some wet water marks on the ground, obviously someone had just passed by there.
He stared for a while, then looked away and continued walking forward.
His first task was to escort the split body. As long as they didn't attack him, he wouldn't bother. And judging from the traces of water stains, there were only two people, and their strength was not very good. They posed no threat to him, so there was no need to care.
Guan Xiaohui and Zhen Ping waited for him and No. 9 to walk over, and only came out from their hiding place after a while.
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief, especially Guan Xiaohui, whose face turned a little pale. The oppressive feeling given to her by the field information of those two people was very strong. Even though they were far away, she still felt like she couldn't breathe.
She said with some concern: "Sister Zhen, the two people who just passed by seem very powerful. Should we wait a little longer before leaving?"
Zhen Ping thought for a moment and said, "No need. They're much faster than us. We can just follow behind. Xiaohui, you should be able to detect the surrounding situation in advance, right?"
Guan Xiaohui nodded.
By using the split body in her hand and keeping the implant in normal state, she can maintain a warning range of at least one kilometer.
Zhen Ping said, "Then we can react in advance. Let's go and try to be careful."
Guan Xiaohui said okay and followed her into the water again, keeping an eye on the two people in front and moving carefully behind them.
Above this underground river, the armored vehicle Chen Chuan was riding in was traveling through a winding tunnel.
Lan Xinnan then said, "There's an underground waterway beneath this road. Both roads lead to the periphery. The underground waterway is used in emergencies and can get us outside faster than the road we're taking.
However, we don't have to go into the water here, so it's a little easier to walk. The only problem is that the road ahead was excavated later, so people can walk on it, but cars can't. Once there, you need to walk about a kilometer, and then you'll be at the edge of the central city."
Chen Chuan nodded.
After another ten minutes, the vehicle stopped in front of a tunnel with a damaged opening.
Lan Xinnan said, "This is it."
Chen Chuan took a look and said, "Captain Lan, go back. What happens next has nothing to do with you."
Lan Xinnan said yes. She knew that this was for their own benefit. Both the Processing Bureau and Lianwei Chongyu were huge monsters for them, and getting involved with them would not be a good thing for them.
She leaned forward and said to Chen Chuan as he walked down the car: "Brother Chen, be careful."
Chen Chuan nodded to her, then straightened his coat, held the Xuejun Knife, and walked towards the narrow passage.
Outside the tunnel, Che Gaoyi came out carrying a suitcase, with Number Nine following a few steps away.
He looked outside. This should be at the bottom of a slope. The vegetation was very dense and the sky was bright.
He could confirm that he was out of the central city because at a glance, he could see no flickering cracks and very few of those annoying bugs.
But before he could relax, a voice came from above:
"Are you the ones who are delivering the goods? No, you are not those two girls?"
Che Gaoyi turned his head and saw a man who looked to be about thirty years old standing on a tree trunk in the distance. He had his hands in his pockets and was wearing a short-sleeved shirt with the buttons unbuttoned. There was an eye pattern on the sweatshirt underneath.
This man's hair looked very black and hard, and there was a hint of cynicism in his expression.
The man stroked his chin and said to himself, "Well, it's also possible that you stole their things. Never mind, since you came out of there..." He glanced at the suitcase in Che Gaoyi's hand and said, "You also took something suspicious. I can't let you leave so easily."
The moment Che Gaoyi saw this man, he felt that he was no ordinary person. Without explaining anything, he immediately said, "Number Nine, go and finish him off."
Although he has left the central city now, it does not mean that he is completely safe, so he cannot stay here for long.
Number Nine heard his order and rushed towards the man without saying a word.
Che Gaoyi himself sped up, carrying the suitcase and running forward. However, he had only walked a thousand meters when a figure suddenly flashed and the man from before appeared in front of him. He raised his chin and said playfully:
"where are you going?"
Che Gaoyi was startled and looked back, only to see that No. 9 was embedded in the earth slope behind him, as if he had been pressed in forcibly.
He realized that he was facing a strong opponent, so he asked cautiously, "Who are you?"
"Me..." The man stood up straight and patted his chest. "Xiang Tiancheng, a senior official of the Resistance Alliance Front."
