Huang Dongqiang and Zhang Long led a dozen men into the sewers and fled along the sewers to the outskirts of Yecheng.
Crawling through the sewers was no pleasant experience; the clothes of more than a dozen people became filthy and smelly.
"Dad, it stinks here." The chubby boy pinched his nose, looking extremely disgusted. "Why do we have to take this kind of road that only lowly workers take? Can't we ask headquarters to send someone to pick us up?"
Huang Dongqiang said in a gloomy tone, "Enough nonsense. If you don't want to go through, just go back and get arrested by those night watchmen."
The chubby boy pouted, looking somewhat aggrieved: "Why should we be afraid of those penniless Night Watchmen? We're backed by the world's largest conglomerate. I don't believe those guys employed by the Yan government would dare do anything to us. Dad, I think you're overreacting..."
Huang Dongqiang's cheek twitched. He turned around and glared at his son fiercely: "Didn't I tell you that if you don't understand anything, you should shut up! Don't keep saying such ignorant and stupid things that embarrass me!"
"Oh..." The chubby boy shrank his neck and stopped talking.
At this moment, on a mountaintop more than a thousand meters away.
Linna and Yewan'er were sitting together on a rock atop the mountain, each holding a telescope and observing the situation at the foot of the mountain.
Linnaeus put down his binoculars and said, "They're here."
Night's gaze also turned in the direction Linna was looking.
The Black Angels have eyesight far superior to many eagles; at this distance, she can clearly see what's happening more than a thousand meters away, even without using any tools.
A greasy, fat man with a face full of scars emerged from the passageway, accompanied by a chubby boy, a middle-aged woman, and a dozen or so of his henchmen.
That guy in the suit who looks like a CEO must be the head of the Yecheng branch of the gene company.
Lin Nai used Mozi's system to scan them. Among these people, Huang Dongqiang and his bodyguard Zhang Long were the strongest, both being level 8 superhumans.
The remaining subordinates included some level 4-6 superhumans and others genetically modified humans.
"They actually came," Night murmured.
“Of course, this is the only path they can take.” Linnaeus smiled.
Night glanced at him and said, "But I don't quite understand. The encirclement set up by Captain Tang and his team was so perfect that they couldn't escape at all. Why did you deliberately leave an opening and let them in here? Isn't that redundant?"
“Of course it’s not superfluous; the difference between the two is huge,” Linnaeus said.
Night: "Oh?"
"When besieging an enemy, leave an opening." Lin Nai said calmly, "When a group of prey is trapped in a desperate situation, and once caught by a hunter, death is all that awaits them, guess what they will do?"
Nightfall's eyes darted around, as if a thought had crossed his mind: "A desperate gamble with the hunter?"
“Yes,” Linnaeus said. “When prey is trapped in a desperate situation with nowhere to retreat, their will to survive will make them fight with even greater determination than usual. Moreover, all the prey will unite as one to fight against the hunter and survive together.”
"But at this point, the prey discovers that the net surrounding them isn't so perfect, but rather has a small hole through which they can escape."
"At that point, they will see a glimmer of hope, and their fighting spirit and will to fight will wane."
“Even prey that was originally united as one will have deserters. All prey will hesitate and choose between fleeing and fighting to the death.”
Nightfall's eyes flickered slightly, and her gaze towards Lin Nai held a different kind of brilliance: "I see, that seems interesting."
"......"
Lin Nai suddenly noticed the burning gaze of the night, turned her head and looked at her.
"...Why are you staring at my face?"
At night, she rested her chin on her hand and squinted her eyes seductively: "I've discovered that you're quite charming when you're speaking seriously."
Linna: "Are you confessing your feelings to me?"
Night Child: "What are you thinking about?"
Linnaeus: "..."
"But now, how are you going to catch them?" Ye Wan'er looked down at Huang Dongqiang and his men at the foot of the mountain again: "Do you need my help?"
“No need.” Linna put down the binoculars, slowly stood up, and said, “I can do it myself.”
"You're all alone?" Ye Wan'er raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat surprised: "The other side has two level 8s and more than a dozen genetically evolved humans."
“Although they are level 8, they are only C-level talents. I don’t think they will be more difficult to deal with than Mu Xun and Chu Men.” Lin Nai said calmly, “Moreover, I have just leveled up to level 3 in the past few days of training, and now I want to test the results.”
Night smiled wryly, then gracefully sat down on a nearby tree trunk, crossing one long leg: "Alright, I'll watch the show from here. If you can't hold on any longer, just shout 'Your Majesty,' and I'll fly over to save you right away!"
Linna: "...Don't worry, you'll never hear those four words."
Huang Dongqiang took off his dirty coat and looked at the village at the foot of a mountain in the distance.
He has now escaped the Night's Watch's pursuit. If he can just pass through that village, reach the coast, board a fishing boat, and escape overseas, then he will be completely safe.
As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn.
Huang Dongqiang clenched his fists, thinking that one day he would come back to fight back...
One of the blond-haired henchmen took out a clean set of clothes: "Mr. Huang, please change into some clean clothes."
Huang Dongqiang nodded and reached out to take the clothes.
Just then, the body of the blond-haired henchman in front of them suddenly exploded like a bursting watermelon!
A cloud of blood mist scattered and exploded!
Huang Dongqiang's eyes widened.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment...
Blood splattered everywhere, the warm mist of blood spraying onto Huang Dongqiang's face...
His entire body was instantly stained red, and this sudden and terrifying scene left him completely dumbfounded!
"Bang--"
A heavy gunshot followed.
The gunshot was heard several seconds after they were shot, which means the other party was at least a thousand yards away!
"There's a sniper!"
Zhang Long's expression changed drastically; he was the first to react: "Quickly, find cover!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than another gunshot rang out.
Another one of his men was shot in the head!
The upper body of that subordinate instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist and vanished completely!
A level 6 superhuman was instantly killed by a single shot!
Zhang Long's face was pale.
Judging from the gunshot, it's clearly the sound of a level 5 sniper rifle!
In Yecheng, there are very few people who can use a level 5 sniper rifle, and even many level 6 Soul Gunners find it difficult to master!
Why would a sniper be in a place like this?!
