But obviously...
He realized this a little too late.
*Sizzle*
Just as the R team members were about to obey their captain's orders and tie Xia Che up.
Suddenly, a thick purple smoke rose from the field. The smoke was so thick that it quickly spread along the narrow path, instantly enveloping all members of Team R, including the captain.
"Where are they?! What happened?"
The R team leader is about to go berserk!
He couldn't see anything clearly, only a thick purple smoke. He didn't know what the smoke was, but he understood that anything that appeared at this time must be extraordinary.
"Cover your mouth and nose, keep a close eye on this brat, we absolutely can't let him get away!"
The leader of Team R quickly took off his coat, covered his mouth and nose, and then rushed over without hesitation.
A cataclysmic upheaval surged within him.
This kid really does have helpers!
But... when did you arrive?
Why didn't any of them notice?
They were the only ones on this path; the captain was certain that no one else had entered.
Why are there still people showing up?
Who exactly is the other party?!
Countless questions flooded the mind of the R team leader, but no one could answer them for him.
Thick purple smoke filled the air, making it impossible for the captain to tell where he was. Following the direction Xia Che was in his memory, he ran frantically, waving his hands and feeling around, but he still couldn't find Xia Che.
Could it be that this kid... ran away?!
"All members of Group R, count off!"
The R team leader's heart sank, and he immediately shouted.
"one!"
"two!"
...
"Twenty-nine!"
The members of Group R were also panicked, but they did not cause a disturbance. They followed their captain's orders and searched around while loudly counting off.
"thirty……"
The captain gritted his teeth and forced out a sentence, then shouted, "Has anyone found that kid over there?"
"No!"
"I don't have any here either."
"I can't see anything... nobody's here!"
"Hey? There's someone here! Captain, I've got him!"
The team's fruitless search had initially filled the captain with despair, but the sudden voice brought him renewed joy: "Third brother! Where are you?"
Has things taken a turn for the better?
This kid didn't actually run away; he was caught by his own teammates with lightning speed.
The captain could tell that the person speaking was the hero of this mission, who had run into the target's third brother at the meeting.
"I'm here... Ouch! Why are you hitting me?"
"Bullshit! Can't you tell you're grabbing me? Stop touching my ass, you son of a bitch!"
"Sixth Brother? It's you? Where's that kid?"
"How should I know? I just found this place and you caught me, ugh... Can you loosen your grip a bit? Isn't my ass an ass? Do you have some kind of sexual orientation problem?"
"Fuck you."
A burst of laughter and scolding immediately erupted in the room. Although it was inappropriate to laugh at this time, these two were just too funny, and they couldn't help it.
"Shut up! Stop laughing!"
The captain's lips twitched, but he quickly suppressed it. "Is this the time for jokes? Where's that kid?"
"Report! Not seen..."
"I don't have any here either."
"without……"
The earlier joy had somewhat washed away the commotion, but it surged up again at this moment.
Although the purple smoke was thick, this was an open area and it wouldn't last long. Now, with the gentle breeze, the smoke has completely dissipated.
The leader of Team R scanned the faces of everyone intently, silently counting in his mind: "One, two... twenty-nine, including myself, exactly thirty. There are no extra people. It seems that kid didn't choose to sneak in disguised as one of us during the chaos. Damn it, did he really get away?"
He turned around abruptly, his wolf-like gaze sweeping quickly across the scene, but he still couldn't see Xia Che's figure.
An indescribable sadness instantly welled up in the captain's heart.
There is no pain in the world that can compare to the feeling of being just one step away from realizing your wish, only to have it instantly extinguished by a bucket of cold water.
"Could it be that what that kid said was true, that we really can't open champagne at halftime?"
The leader of Team R slumped over, his spirits broken; he couldn't even manage something as simple as straightening up.
Hope was right in front of us, we were just one step away...
After learning that the kid had already run away, and seeing the captain's dejected expression, everyone's previously happy expressions instantly turned cold.
Did it fail again?
Are they, Group R, destined to be the worst of Xing's action group?
That kid was just an ordinary person, but even with their entire R team mobilized, they couldn't catch him and could only watch him escape.
If the other action groups found out about this, they would laugh themselves to death, right?
The atmosphere in the room took a sharp turn for the worse, almost dropping to freezing point.
No one was in the mood for jokes anymore; a gloomy atmosphere hung over everyone's hearts.
"Captain, I have another idea."
Suddenly, a member of Team R hesitantly stepped forward, rubbing his hands together with a strange expression: "It seems we can still find traces of that kid..."
"What did you say?!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in Group R was instantly alerted, and in an instant, countless gazes, like searchlights, turned to the person who had spoken.
After recognizing the person's identity, the group felt disappointed again.
Oh, it's Xiao Yan...
How could he possibly have a solution when everyone else is helpless?
As everyone knows, Group R is the worst of all the Xing family's action groups, consistently ranking in the bottom five, and has never even left the top ranks.
It became a laughing stock among the other action groups of the Xing family.
Xiao Yan is even more impressive.
His skill level is definitely the lowest in the entire R group.
The tail of the crane...
In the few small tasks they usually handle, Xiao Yan is always the one who drags everyone down the pace.
What can you expect from someone like that?
So the solution Xiao Yan suggested is probably just wishful thinking...
"team leader……"
The attitude of the others made Xiao Yan shrink back. Looking at the disappointed expressions of his seniors, he didn't know whether he should say anything more.
"It's okay, go ahead and tell me, maybe there really is a way."
The R team leader managed a weak smile.
Although his thoughts were not much different from the others, it was not one person's responsibility that Xia Che got away, but everyone's responsibility.
The captain didn't want to take his anger out on others.
"It's like this... Before coming to Jiang City this time, I requested something from the logistics department..."
Xiao Yan felt around in his pocket and then took out a delicate, palm-sized instrument that looked like a compass.
