To fail is to embrace martyrdom.
Though Liu Xing wanted to discuss with Zhang Jingxu and others, there was no opportunity to convene a Private Room session at the mont. Thus, Liu Xing had to take a gamble and act without consulting, relying on his luck.
"KP, please assist with an inspiration judgnt now," Liu Xing said, taking a deep breath.
KP Li Shunchan chuckled, replying, "Well then, I can only wish you good luck."
Liu Xing, 4/5, succeeded.
?! In the instant the judgnt result appeared, Liu Xing, who had thought he was done for, was surprised to find that his inspiration judgnt had succeeded.
"Heh, it seems your luck is quite good, Liu Xing. Congratulations, you’ve obtained so special intelligence!" KP Li Shunchan said with a smile.
With the judgnt result, a bold idea suddenly erged in Liu Xing’s mind. According to the information provided by Isabella, there were nurous followers of the Cult of the Cadaver entering North Corner. Coupled with the mafia mbers who were originally under Alexander, the over one hundred blood n they had just killed were definitely not all!
More importantly, those foreign tourists released by the Cult of the Cadaver might not just be used for propaganda, but could also be sleeper agents!
Thinking of this, Liu Xing imdiately turned to Alice and asked, "Alice, do you know where Chris went?"
Looking at Liu Xing’s sudden excitent, Alice replied sowhat surprised, "You an Chris? I think he should be at the temporary headquarters. Right now, the higher-ups of the Manchester police are having a eting."
Frowning, Liu Xing hurriedly ran towards the temporary headquarters.
The temporary headquarters was actually an armored command vehicle. At this mont, the rear door was closed, and two officers were guarding it.
Seeing Liu Xing rushing over suddenly, the two officers imdiately raised their submachine guns and pointed them at him, asking, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Without delay, Liu Xing ignored whether his Hu Li Magic Spells would frighten the two officers and said directly, "Let in. I have urgent business to see your chief, Chris!"
Indeed, the two officers were stunned by Liu Xing’s words. Although they couldn’t understand the language he was speaking, they understood the aning.
Seeing the officers staring blankly at him, Liu Xing decided to take matters into his own hands. Without further ado, he pushed open the door.
At this point, the two officers finally reacted and aid their weapons at Liu Xing again.
anwhile, everyone inside the command vehicle had their eyes on Liu Xing.
Fortunately, Chris was inside the vehicle.
"Mr. Ryuusei, what’s the matter?" Chris asked, surprised.
Liu Xing nodded and asked directly, "Mr. Chris, do you know how many foreign tourists released by the Cult of the Cadaver there are? Where are they now?"
Frowning, Chris replied, "If I recall correctly, there are one hundred and twelve foreign tourists released by the Cult of the Cadaver. Initially, we planned to compensate them for their ntal damages and then send them back to their respective countries. However, due to the Thick Fog issue, these foreign tourists and their relatives who ca to pick them up are all stranded in the country. They are currently accommodated in the hotels they originally stayed in, with all expenses covered by us... Wait, Liu Xing, what do you an?!"
Seeing Chris’s shocked expression, Liu Xing sighed and said helplessly, "If things go as expected, these foreign tourists have already been implanted with seeds by the Cult of the Cadaver. As soon as the Cult of the Cadaver decides to activate these seeds, they will transform into blood n directly. At that ti, these blood n will undoubtedly cause even greater chaos... Most importantly, the better England’s authorities control the public opinion, the louder the backlash will be!"
Chris furrowed his brows and nodded, "I understand. Depp, go contact the civilian staff remaining in the police officer bureau and have them quickly locate the hotels where those foreign tourists are staying. Then, instruct the officers who returned early to control those foreign tourists first. It would be best to bring them all back to the police officer bureau for individual detention. If there’s any resistance, use the excuse that these foreign tourists might have been injected with a deadly virus when they were kidnapped. Rember to ntion that the infectiousness of this deadly virus is extrely high, so their relatives shouldn’t cause trouble."
The middle-aged police officer nad Depp nodded and left with his mobile phone.
"Alright, we need to speed up the clearance operation in North Corner now and free up our hands to control the security in other parts of the city. So, everyone, move out. All officers remaining in North Corner will be divided into three teams for a collective operation. Oh, Mr. Ryuusei, what are your thoughts on the current situation?" Chris asked.
"Mr. Chris, I have another question. How many ordinary residents are still in the North Corner Area? I suspect that the Cult of the Cadaver might target them," Liu Xing asked seriously.
After thinking for a mont, Chris replied, "Although we’ve requested all ordinary residents of North Corner to evacuate, many of them are still reluctant to leave. After all, there are always people who refuse to comply with regulations. So, there should be over a thousand residents still in North Corner. But I don’t think the Cult of the Cadaver will bother to deal with each of them one by one. It would be too ti-consuming."
Liu Xing shrugged and said earnestly, "That’s not necessarily true. You have to understand that the Cult of the Cadaver is capable of anything, and with the blood n controlled by the Ghoul, breaking through security doors would be a breeze. When they attack the residents of North Corner, it will be effortless. And once the residents of North Corner start dying, it will be difficult to contain the situation!"
Furrowing his brows, Chris pondered for a mont before saying, "Mr. Ryuusei, you’re right. The Cult of the Cadaver is indeed capable of such actions. However, our manpower is already insufficient. Although the nearby military is gathering to support us, it will take at least an hour or two for them to arrive. So, so casualties are inevitable. The higher-ups have already set a certain quota... This is for England."
Raising an eyebrow, Liu Xing hadn’t expected the English authorities to be so decisive, already preparing a quota for casualties.
"Alright, Mr. Ryuusei, please wait outside for now. We will soon make the final decision and arrangents. Then, we will confront the Cult of the Cadaver together," Chris began to dismiss everyone.
Liu Xing nodded without much ado and left the command vehicle.
Inside the command vehicle, Alice and others had already gathered.
"Ryuusei, what’s up? Why did you suddenly co to find Chris?" Ling Ishikawa asked curiously.
Liu Xing sighed and shared his thoughts.
Zhang Jingxu furrowed his brows and said, "I see. I’ve always felt that the Cult of the Cadaver, despite taking various risks, went to great lengths to kidnap so many foreign tourists. Logically, they should have made a big deal out of it, but so far, it seems like just petty actions to manipulate public opinion. Now, it turns out they’ve brainwashed these foreign tourists and infected them with a virus."
"If I’m not mistaken, my grandfather once told that these blood n were indeed mutated due to a virus created by the Ghoul. This virus can assimilate all the cells in the human body in a short ti, altering and upgrading them. So, as long as the Ghoul activates this virus, those affected are dood because the entire cellular structure of the blood n is completely different from that of normal humans," Yuan Chen said seriously.
Buke raised an eyebrow and said, "I see. Just now at Black Hand Barbarian, my professional habit kicked in, and I observed that the muscle tissue of those blood n had already mutated. But I didn’t realize their entire bodies had mutated. This is indeed irreversible because our dical technology hasn’t reached the level of altering cells yet."
Liu Xing sighed and said with a bitter smile, "We thought the situation was favorable at the beginning. Not only did we find so many helpers, but we also identified the enemy’s movents and goals. We thought we just needed to find the right opportunity to take down EinsCastle. But after returning from Scotland, the situation took a turn for the worse. We’ve been played by the Cult of the Cadaver, completely at a disadvantage. Now, we’re almost surrounded."
There was silence among the group for a mont.
The current situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for Liu Xing and the others.
Although Liu Xing had gained insight into the Cult of the Cadaver’s next move through an extrely difficult inspiration judgnt, with limited manpower, fully stopping the Cult of the Cadaver was almost impossible, even with knowledge of their intentions.
At this point, damage control was the only option.
"It seems we need to accelerate our actions. After we’re done with the business in North Corner, Miguel will investigate EinsCastle thoroughly. We’ll rest in the Safe Point for half a day, have half a day of surprise training in climbing and rappelling at the outdoor club in the afternoon, and then launch the attack on EinsCastle tomorrow night. What do you think?" Yis People suddenly suggested.
Liu Xing raised an eyebrow, acknowledging that Yis People’s idea was indeed good.
Since they couldn’t find more help and didn’t receive additional support, launching an early attack on EinsCastle wouldn’t result in any losses. Moreover, it might catch Bai Hecheng and his group off guard. After all, they wouldn’t expect Liu Xing and the others, who had been on the defensive, to suddenly launch an attack.
So, Liu Xing nodded and said, "I agree with Mr. Liu Xing’s idea. The longer we delay, the more unfavorable it becos for us. So, launching an early attack on EinsCastle is a good choice for us now, especially since most of the Cult of the Cadaver’s attention is focused on the city of Manchester."
Therefore, Liu Xing and the others unanimously decided to launch an attack on EinsCastle tomorrow night, aiming to destroy the imitation corrupt wood sculpture.
At this point, Chris, accompanied by several senior police officers, erged from the command vehicle.
Then, the final sweep of the North Corner began.
Liu Xing and the others still followed Chris’s lead, but this ti, they were accompanied by dozens of police officers, conducting searches building by building.
During this ti, they encountered many uncooperative residents and so mafia mbers who attempted to resist. However, these people were just outlets for Chris’s frustration. He didn’t bother much with them. If they didn’t cooperate, he would simply take action, subdue them, tie them up, and leave them on the roadside until the sweep was over.
Under this rough approach, the speed of the final sweep was very high, and half of the North Corner Area was quickly cleared.
However, what puzzled Liu Xing and the others was that the Cult of the Cadaver seed to have disappeared completely, as if evaporating into thin air.
"Damn it, I always feel like the Cult of the Cadaver is preparing to give us a big surprise!" Zhang Jingxu muttered under his breath.
Liu Xing nodded. This abnormality hinted at sothing sinister because there were still many Cult of the Cadaver followers in North Corner, and now that the Cult of the Cadaver had started causing trouble, how could those followers not be involved?
So, there was only one possibility now: the Cult of the Cadaver was planning a major event.
At this mont, a voice ca over the walkie-talkie, "Damn it, this is the second squad. We’ve encountered a group of blood n attacking the residents in a building... No, not just one building, we have at least five buildings here under attack by blood n! We need support!"
As soon as the voice fell, another voice ca over the walkie-talkie, "Damn it, we’ve also encountered blood n here, attacking ordinary residents in the building!"
Sure enough, the Cult of the Cadaver had started to act forcefully.
Chris frowned, picked up the walkie-talkie, and said, "Don’t even think about rescuing those residents because with your current firepower, it’s simply impossible. So, to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, I order you to establish defenses on the spot and prepare to ambush those blood n. Start firing warning shots now to let the survivors still in the buildings know to evacuate quickly!"
Liu Xing couldn’t help but nod. Chris had made the most correct choice now.
At this mont, Liu Xing suddenly heard gunshots not far away, but these were pistol shots.
It seed that civilians were under attack by blood n, and they were fighting back.
Liu Xing estimated the distance of the gunshots and realized they were about a hundred ters away.
"It seems the blood n on our side are just ahead. Let’s try to push forward to their location and set up defenses. Hopefully, we can rescue more residents!" Chris said, opening the way for action.
