The fog thickened and the panic intensified, but the enemy never appeared.
Tang Cuos HP was still falling down 1 point by 1 point, but he walked calmly in the corridor, his expression equally undisturbed. Chi Yan followed closely behind and held tightly onto the Blast Egg that Jin Cheng gave him, his mind constantly on guard.
Now that the attack had not yet taken place, they needed to move to sowhere else to ensure that they wouldnt be caught and drag Jin Cheng down. Jin Cheng wanted them to leave East Cross Street quietly, but Tang Cuo refused.
We are the most eye-catching people of the whole East Cross Street. If two suddenly go missing from our group of three, the enemy will surely get suspicious.
Chi Yan didnt know how he got into this dangerous ordeal. It was as though he had unknowingly stepped into here since that night he raised his hand up, and hadnt been able to get out ever since. But he had been through so many things anyway, so the only choice he had now was to move forward with his two geges and take the enemy down together.
Ge, later just tell who I should throw it to and I will do it. Im ready.
Tang Cuo wanted to say Dont, you are too weak, but looking at the young mans sincere eyes, he quietly pressed down the thought. The two ran from one building to another, climbing windows and jumping stairs, but they never went through the main entrance.
Five minutes later, they finally found an excellent hiding place the one-eyed ladys breakfast shop.
This shop was very close to the place where Tang Cuo originally lived. It wasnt like Tang Cuo didnt fear death, but being the type who always took the riskiest path, he chose to believe that in the most dangerous place lay the safest hiding spot.
It just so happened that the shops in Yong Ye City had no rolling doors. It was at night and the one-eyed lady boss wasnt there.
Jin Cheng hadnt started the fight yet.
Tang Cuo poked his head out and took a look, frowning slightly. This was a bit strange. Since those people had decided to make a move, of course it would be best to strike Jin Cheng by surprise for a quick win. Why did they announce their arrival first to alert Jin Cheng, yet not take action imdiately thereafter?
Tang Cuo couldnt figure it out, and Chi Yan was none the wiser. At this mont, there were no people on the cobblestone street outside and the fog was still lingering. All the players were nested in their own rooms with exactly one person in each, for this could help contain the virus to a great extent.
They waited and waited but no attacks sca. Just then, soone was pushed onto the street from the corridor. He stumbled on the ground and coughed, his face a deadly shade of grey.
Dont stay in the building if you are infected, do you want to drag us to death together?! An angry voice ca out from the building but its source couldnt be identified.
No other person said anything.
The man who was pushed out sat on the ground with his head down, as though he had absolutely no strength to even stand up. He had his face buried in both hands, his back bulging and his shoulders shaking, but no sound ca out.
The night in Yong Ye City was terribly cold, and the sudden fog had cast a icy veil atop of it, making even a slight breath turn into frost.
Chi Yan pressed his lips tightly and a fire was blazing in his eyes, but he held back his rage.
The fog gradually enveloped the man. It thickened and blurred out the Tang Cuos and Chi Yans vision, while the cold slowly crept into the breakshop shop.
It was a dark night on a long street, with street lamps brightly lit on a hopeless man sitting amid a chilling fog. Like a scene from a painting.
Tang Cuo suddenly understood the enemys plan. They were deliberately dragging ti because the fog could make people panic. The more people died, the more pressured Jin Cheng would beco.
If Jin Cheng was really hit, then Tang Cuo would definitely die if he couldnt get the vaccine in ti. Those people knew the vaccine must be brought in from outside East Cross Street and they would definitely try to stop it. Once Jin Cheng died, the movent would also fall into their hands at once.
At this mont, the offensive and defensive had switched sides, and it was now Jin Cheng who must locate the enemy before they made a move. If the other side failed to defend themselves, Jin Cheng wouldnt be killed and their plan would be crushed.
This was all intended by Jiang He, the strategist.
Tang Cuo suddenly grew an interest in this man. According to Jin Cheng, he was a very ordinary-looking man, and no one would recognise him if he was thrown into a crowd. He also gave the impression of one who wasnt easy to deal with.
At the sa ti, Jiang Hes na was repeatedly ntioned at every corner of East Cross Street.
What is it that Jiang He from Heavens Will wants? Hes just dragging ti, does he want others to make a move first? Is this like the mantis stalking the cicada but unaware of the oriole behindA Chinese idiom that could be taken quite literally in this context. Basically, the cicada refers to Jin Cheng and the oriole refers to Jiang He. The man is suspecting that Jiang He is waiting for soone else to make a move on Jin Cheng first and beco the mantis, then the mont that soone else strikes, Jiang He will jump out and take down both parties.?
Its possible. Jiang He has always been a sinister man.
Then shall we move?
Look again.
The Wicked Puppeteer is said to have co also.
Will he co in person?
I dont know, but soone saw his puppet earlier, though it might be controlled by soone else. Didnt he suffer a loss under Jin Cheng last ti, so he may not dare to co in person?
Is Jiang He waiting for The Puppeteer to make a move first?
The Wicked Puppeteer and Heavens Will are both here. Who else is coming?
I also saw Extre Luck of Zone B, No. 3 on the Blacklist.
F**k, why is he not dead yet?
Dont forget hes the damn 66666 of the Blacklist.
In the shadow, the people of Heavens Will were also having a commotion among themselves.
Damn, how long does that Jiang He bastard want us to wait? I told him to just do it directly, dont get mixed in with all the sses of the other groups. If soone else succeeds, we will not only lose the movent but also hurt our own n! The whole Heavens Will will beco a huge joke in Zone A!
Wait first. Believe in Jiang He.
They waited, but Jin Cheng couldnt wait. He had fought with Jiang He several tis and figured out Jiang Hes plan even earlier than Tang Cuo. If Jiang He succeeded, everything Jin Cheng had done now would be all for naught, but it would be unwise to seek out Jiang He directly. It would be the sa as telling the enemy You guessed it right.
So Jin Chengs target was now other groups.
The fog had blurred out all parties vision, except for Jiang Hes. Jin Cheng didnt know where Jiang He was and stayed fixed in his spot, but he took out a palm-sized item that looked similar to a Whac-A-Mole device and pressed the red button on it.
Click click. A strange sound imdiately rose from amid the fog. When listened to carefully, it was a very soft but extrely rhythmic sound that had scattered all over East Cross Street.
Click.
Click.
At certain points, it was complented by the sound of gears turning, as though sothing was walking on the ground, getting closer and closer. Chi Yan felt anxious and couldnt help but stealthily peeked through one eye, only to see sothing of the size of a palm jumping in the fog.
It didnt jump high, had grey colour, and was dragging a tail behind it.
A rat! Those who saw it had their eyes wide open. If soone looked down from the sky above, they would find nurous chanical rats running out from the darkest corners of East Cross Street and bouncing everywhere.
With more than a dozen of them, there must be one or two that could hit the enemys hiding place.
Clink clink clink clink clink! The rats eyes glowed red like an infrared detector. The mont it detected a living thing right in front, it imdiately scread, and the next second, Boom!
A rat exploded.
Then another rat exploded.
The sepaparte groups of enemies in hiding were working on their own and totally not aware of each others plans. Hearing explosions from other places, they instantly thought that the other side had made a move.
Which son of a bitch did that?!
Dont wait anymore, rush in now!
Jin Cheng had pulled one string that triggered all the enemies at once.
East Cross Street turned chaotic in a blink, and the chanical rats that had scattered everywhere exploded whenever they detected movent. The smoke and dust of the explosion lted into Jiang Hes fog, the thickening fog mixed with smoke now also blurring Jiang Hes own vision.
A wind is coming! A whirring gust of wind blew over and everyone clearly knew and it was only a matter of ti before the thick fog was dispersed. At the sa ti, they also clearly knew that if Jiang He was here, Heavens Will must also be here. They had to act quickly if they wanted to kill Jin Cheng and get the movent before Heavens Will did.
To Heavens Will, the [Twelve Movents] was a must-win mission. There was no way they would let anyone else have it. As soon as the wind blew, a loud male voice ca from the roof of the building and blew across East Cross Street along with the wind.
Jin Cheng, I have the vaccine for BS1010. If you dont want everyone here to go down with you, co out and hand over the [Twelve Movents].
That voice ca from the boss of Heavens Will, Chong Yanzhang.
Soone heard his voice, snorted and answered first: Bastard Chong, have you no sha?! Using low-ranking players to exchange for the [Twelve Movents]? Who do you think you are tricking?
Another person also said with a smile: I can give everyone here 10 points so Jin Cheng can hand over the [Twelve Movents] to , okay?
Two voices, one from the east and one from the west, ca in tandem, as though they were singing a duo.
Chong Yanzhangs expression beca solemn. The surrounding people were about to speak up but was stopped by him: Follow Jiang Hes plan and locate the two newcors. Catch them alive.
But
No buts.
Seeing Chong Yanzhangs murderous gaze, the man imdiately fell silent. In fact, so of them were already trying to hunt down the two newcors, but with Chong Yanzhang asking him to head out too, this showed that Chong Yanzhang trusted Jiang He more than him.
The man gritted his teeth, cast a few glances at his surroundings and finally withdrew.
By this point, the chanical rats hadnt stopped exploding. All the players of East Cross Street shrank in their room and didnt dare to go out. So cowering ones even blocked the door with their bed, table and chair.
The infected player who had been pushed onto the street also hid in a corner and trembled with fear.
All of a sudden, the entire East Cross Street shook violently and a blasting explosion knocked out all the remaining chanical rats. The most impacted were Tang Cuo and Chi Yan. Chi Yans eyes widened as the intense quake swept through the smoke and dust. It was Tang Cuos room that blew up!
The whole building blew up!
Motherf**ker. Chi Yan almost let the curse flip his tongue. Fortunately, the players in that building had all evacuated because of the virus, otherwise the casualty would be massive.
But wait.
The player wasnt inside, but the virus was.
Hahaha bastard Chong, let help you! An arrogant laughter ca from not far away, carrying with it unfathomable greed. The faces of those standing nearby turned as white as a sheet and they imdiately put up a gas mask.
Loud curses rose from all corners.
F**k you! Co over here you motherf**ker, Im gonna f**king kill you!
Are you out of your f**king mind?!
Psycho!
With such a strike, one could probably take down 1,000 of the other party but hurt 800 of his own n. The virus had been released from the building and would now attack indiscriminately. And at this very mont, who was present at East Cross Street?
Exactly, it was them, the groups that were after the [Twelve Movents]!
Its Miao Qi! That lunatic Miao Qi!
As the identity of the troublemaker was exposed, the curses beca softer and everyone seed to hold back. With a smile, Miao Qi nonchalantly erged on the roof of a building and launched another cannon at the ground.
He was a tall, thin man clad entirely in black, with a red scarf around his neck and a heavy rocket launcher on his shoulder.
Hello. [T/N: Originally written in English.]
He greeted them with yet another cannon.
Cursing him as a psycho was indeed ant to be taken literally, for everyone really couldnt figure out whether he ca here for the [Twelve Movents] or simply to stir more havoc.
Miao Qi, I dont think Ive ever offended you before? Chong Yanzhang appeared amid the ruins of Tang Cuos building.
I want to play with the [Twelve Movents] too, cant I? Miao Qi asked back. He didnt fire any cannon at Chong Yanzhang, which made Chi Yan incredibly sad.
Does Lin Yandong know that you are here? Chong Yanzhang asked in a low voice.
Why would you care whether he knows or not? I only know that you havent gotten Jin Cheng to co out yet.
You dont need to worry about it.
Chong Yanzhang had obviously taken the vaccine, because he dared to be right at the heart of the virus even without any protective asures on. Miao Qi didnt co closer, rather, he smiled slyly and moved back to a safe distance, then said loudly: Jin Cheng, how about I make a deal with you? I dont want the [Twelve Movents]. As long as you let kill you once, I will return the movent that falls out to you later, with both hands.
Chong Yanzhangs face turned dark as soon as he heard this.
Miao Qi continued to shout out: How about it? Instead of letting these bitches Chong Yanzhang and Jiang He kill you, isnt it better to make a deal with ?
The answer to him was a direct strike from Chong Yanzhang.
Chong Yanzhang was a special ability user and had no fixed weapons. This was the first ti Chi Yan had seen a novel scene of soone receiving a cannon with his bare hands.
With his vicious tal-type special ability, Chong Yanzhang dealt a fist shrouded with a golden aura so intense it almost had Chi Yan enchanted. With a boom, Miao Qis cannon was bounced by Chong Yanzhang, its impact clearly felt even by Chi Yan hiding in the breakfast shop. Chong Yanzhang remained completely unscathed.
At this point, an arrow broke through the air.
Jin Cheng! Soone instantly recognised the arrow with his sharp eyes, and in a flash, several shadows rushed over and discovered who the target of the arrow was
It was neither Miao Qi nor Chong Yanzhang. It was the trembling player who had been hiding in a corner!
What was happening?
Chi Yan quietly whispered in his heart while Tang Cuo understood it at once. The player was putting up an act and wasnt an infected person of Zone F. That was Jiang He. Sure enough, the mont the tal arrow pierced the player, he turned into a cloud of smoke and dispersed.
The strong wind had almost blown away all the fog surrounding East Cross Street. By this point, any new fog would look especially obvious. rely ten ters away, a shadow appeared.
It was Jiang He.
Tang Cuo still couldnt see Jiang Hes face clearly, but the mont Jiang He turned up, he imdiately grabbed Chi Yan, Go!
The two left from the back door of the breakfast shop. Tang Cuo ran very fast and Chi Yan almost stumbled, but he tried to keep up. While running at full speed, Chi Yan didnt have the ti to ask why. He could only listen to Tang Cuos stern bellow: Throw it to the back!
Throw it? Throw what?
Chi Yans reaction was delayed for a second, then he hurriedly threw the Blast Egg to the back and took a peek F**k, hes right behind them!
