1418: Chapter 1418: The Entire Team is Wiped Out 1418: Chapter 1418: The Entire Team is Wiped Out After having searched for a day and a night, everyone was exhausted, so they rested on the spot and assigned people to watch the surroundings.
Gu Fan and Li were responsible for keeping watch, the two of them just wandered around, and the captain’s only instruction was, whenever they noticed sothing wrong, regardless of the situation, to just yell and scream.
Even if it was a false alarm, it didn’t matter.
As Li walked, he fiddled with his firearm, aiming here and there, his nervousness making Gu Fan tense as well.
Finally, Gu Fan couldn’t stand it anymore, “Enough, the people coming after us are experts, and your tactics won’t work.” “Then please tell what should I do?” Li asked earnestly, seeking advice, and Gu Fan admitted that he didn’t know; they could only resign themselves to fate.
Seeing Gu Fan’s attitude, Li gave a bitter smile.
Then Li turned to look back at the group resting at the original spot, feeling that they were far enough away, and then asked, “Tai, just tell honestly, what is your real identity?” Gu Fan was startled for a mont, his brow furrowing, “Do you really want to know?
Perhaps it’s better if you don’t.” To this, Li shook his head, “You’ve already got those three girls staying at my place, you’ve involved already.
If you truly trust , tell .” Gu Fan smiled lightly, “You’ve already guessed it, you’ve t those three girls.” “Yes, they are Su Hui and Lin Xi, but why do you know them?” Li was puzzled.
When he had t Su Hui and Lin Xi, he was baffled.
How could he have imagined the friends Tai planned to bring were them?
Li asked again, “Last ti I asked you if your real identity was Tai, you didn’t answer .
Can you now?” A crow circled a few tis in the air and then slowly landed on a nearby branch, its eyes closely tracking each movent of Gu Fan and Li, while also transmitting their view to Lin Xi, miles away.
Gu Fan patted Li on the shoulder, “Now is not the ti to tell you, but one thing is certain, I am with them.” “So, the last ti we saw them at the hotel was also arranged by you.
Was the person I t the real Gu Fan?
Or is there another Gu Fan, and I was just misled, leading Catherine astray?” Li voiced all his doubts, feeling sowhat indignant, as if he had been used.
Seeing Li’s annoyed expression, Gu Fan could only say, “So things, I can’t answer now, so things, I had no choice but to do, back then our situation was not the sa, even hostile.
But now it’s different, we are on the sa side, we can trust each other.” “Trust each other!” Li sneered, “You won’t even tell your real identity, how can we talk about trust?” Gu Fan patiently responded, “It’s like this, everyone has their secrets, just because I trust you doesn’t an I have to tell you all my secrets, and I believe you still have secrets you haven’t told , right?” After hearing this, Li was montarily taken aback, then fell silent, no longer pressing the matter.
Suddenly, Gu Fan tensed up, his gaze fixed intently a short distance ahead, that pre-battle state also scared Li.
“What’s happened?” Li followed Gu Fan’s gaze and saw a large figure collapsed in the dim woods.
Gu Fan cautiously approached, and Li, slightly afraid, lagged a few steps behind.
On closer inspection, it turned out to be a vampiric creature, its heart pierced by a wooden spike, its body ash-gray, surrounded by traces of blood.
Li still didn’t understand what was happening when Gu Fan examined the bloodstains, finding they were still wet, aning it must have happened recently, indicating it was highly possible the Hunter’s Guild had passed by here.
Realizing the importance of this discovery, Gu Fan imdiately called the captain and the others over.
Everyone gathered around the slain vampiric creature, and the captain’s judgnt aligned with Gu Fan’s.
Suddenly, soone beca dejected, “No way, we just had to run into the Hunter’s Guild.” Gu Fan said in a whisper, “This quietly suggests that the Hunter’s Guild has already moved on, we are unlikely to encounter them.” The captain nodded, “This place, I estimate the Hunter’s Guild left not long ago, and from this, we can deduce their general direction of advance.
I will imdiately report back to the higher-ups.” Gu Fan also calculated that if this place had indeed been visited by the Hunter’s Guild, they were likely advancing towards that region, and the closest team to that region was the Fifth Squad.
The captain also relayed his assessnt to the higher-ups, who imdiately notified the Fifth Squad to be on alert and instructed the other teams to converge towards the Fifth Squad.
Generally, orders from above must be executed imdiately, but the captain gathered everyone for a eting instead.
The situation was clear now, the Hunter’s Guild had just left this place, aning it could be asserted this was a safe area.
The captain’s point was that everyone wanted to make it back alive, so there was no rush to head towards the Fifth Squad.
After hearing this, no one objected, everyone chose to take the easier, less risky option.
However, the captain ntioned that this was a collective decision, and if found out or held accountable, no one could pass the bla.
Gu Fan imdiately supported the captain’s words.
No one else had objections, so they all continued to rest at the original spot, thinking that since they had a rough idea of the Fifth Squad’s location, and since the Fifth Squad was still on the move, arriving a few hours late when going to et them was quite normal.
Gu Fan held the walkie-talkie, listening to the signal, feeling uneasy.
He hoped to avoid a conflict with the Hunter’s Guild, but it seed unlikely.
Gu Fan thought if there was a way to help the Hunter’s Guild get closer to Dark City and put pressure on Dark City, attracting the attention of Organization X, it would be beneficial for him to infiltrate the Tower of Darkness and not only rescue Jie, but also have ample ti to save Li Shi.
Suddenly, through the walkie-talkie ca screams more dreadful than the slaughtering of pigs, filled with despair and fear.
Everyone listened and beca tense.
“Hello, is anyone there, we are the Fifth Squad, we found…
ah…” Although so sounds of resistance and gunfire ca from the walkie-talkie, they soon ceased, and everyone knew what that ant.
The sound quickly disappeared, and the eerie silence that ensued, a squad of twenty people eliminated in an instant, undoubtedly cast a shadow over everyone’s hearts, a bone-chilling feeling as an invisible fear rose within.
