Roddy did not know that the police's reaction speed was faster than he thought.
Zhao Hongwen had been completely obsessed these days. He did his best to mobilize all the forces he could. In the end, the task force, which was originally just an ordinary task force, had to set a political goal of "solving the case within a week" because of the frequent pressure from the higher-ups.
After learning that Roddy might have fled to Inner Mongolia, the task force actually had an unusual headache. There were too many things to coordinate when handling a cross-provincial case, and it was also very troublesome to mobilize resources and manpower. But with Zhao Hongwen's crazy efforts, the task force found that the entire investigation and reconnaissance process had become smooth.
Of course, they didn't know that Zhao Hongwen had almost overdrawn all his political resources to investigate this case. It was so exaggerated that he had people greeting everyone from the deputy S-class to the mayor. This kind of power even made Zhao Hongwen's father and the old man at home feel dissatisfied. But it was undeniable that the Inner Mongolia police quickly got clues from Wooden Clog, who had just woken up.
After finding the village where Roddy had been hiding, the scope of the investigation began to rapidly narrow down. After that, the clues of Roddy's purchase of the 5G phone card were also found. After that, it was even simpler. Through the state machine, they found the place where the signals of these two cards were emitted. The current location of Roddy's location was no longer a secret. Combined with the previous risk assessment of Roddy and Kardashian, the task force determined that these two people "committed a serious crime and are extremely dangerous." Originally, only four police cars were needed to arrest them, but because of Zhao Hongwen's influence, the special police were finally dispatched.
Two special explosion-proof vehicles and four Mitsubishi Pajeros, automatic weapons, and snipers set off together. People who did not know the situation would think that they were going to the border to fight with drug dealers.
After hearing the news, Zhao Hongwen's face was full of a morbid smile.
On the other side, "Knight", who had locked onto the two accounts of "Sleepy Fox" and "Europe Rhinehaken" through the quantum computer, had already set off from the imperial capital. He did not go to the capital airport. Instead, he arrived at Nanyuan Airport in the south of Beijing by car. From there, he took a temporary flight to Baotou. He continued to issue orders on the plane to urgently transfer the helicopter of a high-class hospital invested by "C" company in Beijing to temporarily fly to Baotou.
This series of actions was very sudden and very secretive. Almost no one realized that Sir's actions had anything to do with Roddy, who was about to be arrested. The official announcement was nothing more than "Baotou City Hospital needs an emergency helicopter transfer" and "Knight will visit Baotou City or discuss investment direction".
"Show me the data."
Only the flight crew, Jazz, and his accompanying bodyguards and assistants were on the plane. The entire first-class cabin was off-limits to flight attendants. At this moment, "Sir" was connecting the quantum communication satellite launched by his company to the quantum server in London to check all the "abnormal" data in the past two days.
Previously, the server seemed to have stopped after the "attack," but the quantum server detected another "form of attack" that affected the players' thinking in the game.
Although current technology was unable to deconstruct the human brain, let alone completely dissect the human mind, the super computing power allowed the quantum server to simultaneously monitor the players' physical condition with the help of the game helmet/cockpit sensors. Needless to say, this was definitely illegal. But because there was no second quantum computer of the same level in the world, no one had realized this until now.
This secret also involved the research project of the "Consciousness Separation Research Department". However, at this moment, the list of "affected" players displayed "manic" symptoms. When the information on this list was listed, "Sir" squinted his eyes and looked at it. He then said to the AI assistant, "Show me their current map location."
The 3D hologram displayed the game map of "Earthbreaker". After quickly zooming in, the light dots representing these players were actually in the same area …
Obviously, they were tracking and surrounding the other two icons on the map. "Sir" casually tapped on them and discovered the IDs displayed were "Sleepy Fox" and "European Emperor Rhinehaken".
"So … the problem is still here."
*****
When Nie Yan opened his eyes, the mottled sunlight between the trees proved that the weather in the game was pretty good.
Roddy stood up from his camp in the forest and glanced at the "status bar". He first opened the "External Senses" option because he needed to constantly pay attention to movements outside the game. After adjusting it, the "Bonfire State" countdown timer in the game showed that there were still ten seconds left.
This state was to protect players in the wilderness. After all, although the quantum server could guarantee the smooth flow of the game, the bandwidth of each player's connection to the network was different. Some people would have to wait a few seconds before they could take action because of the lag. Being in a city, the probability of being attacked was very low, so there was a five-second "Protection State". However, the dangers in the wilderness were high. In order to prevent unknown dangers from occurring, the players were currently in the "Bonfire State" where they could not be attacked for ten seconds. However, this was also known as the "Stealth State" by the players.
In this state, other players and monsters were unable to observe Roddy and Kardashian, but they could see others. This allowed the players to prepare for a short period of time. However, during this time, apart from chatting, they couldn't move or cast any spells. However, once they confirmed that everything was fine, they could cancel this state and immediately take action.
Before they went offline, Roddy and Kardashian were in a party, so they could see each other. Kardashian, who was wearing a magic robe, was holding a magic staff and looking around. Roddy wanted to say something, but the movements around him made him immediately alert.
Both of them frowned as they looked around. There were more than five adventurers standing within a twenty-meter radius, glancing at them from time to time.
As a PVP player with many years of experience, Roddy immediately realized that someone was lying in wait for him!
After the players went offline, a "tent" would be displayed at their original location, but the identity of the person in the tent would not be revealed even if they got closer. However, this did not stop some people from lying in wait after following them. Earthbreaker was a world with a high degree of freedom. Players killing each other could even be considered the "main theme". Being killed by a "lying in wait" was one of the most common ways to die!
Even Roddy himself had "lying in wait" for quite a number of people, but he obviously did not expect to be ambushed in such a situation. There were five people in front of him, who knew how many more were hiding in the bushes in the distance?
Going offline at this time? It was obvious that Roddy and Kardashian had no chance in this situation … So his decision was simple:
"Sister, we have to kill our way out."
Kardashian was not surprised at all. She frowned slightly and narrowed her eyes, "What do we need to be careful of?"
"Be careful of hidden arrows. Sister, go to the right side and look for cover behind the tree. I'll use my bow and arrow to suppress them. Then, go to the left side. If there are too many of them, focus on crowd control. If there are too few of them, kill them all before leaving!"
As he spoke, there were only two seconds left on the countdown timer for the 'Bonfire State'. Rody glanced at it and raised the short bow in his hand. He aimed directly at the thief who was holding the crossbow about thirty meters away.
"Twang —"
The sound of the bowstring vibrating could be heard. The Bandit who was standing there was instantly struck in the eye by an arrow. He grunted and fell to the ground, dead. Not far away, a Defense Warrior called "Condemnation Proud Heaven" was shocked and immediately shouted, "They're out!"
But before he could finish, an arrow shot into his mouth and penetrated his head.
Even though he was wearing plate armor and holding a round shield, this Defense Warrior was still a little careless. Before he came here, he was told that the enemies were a Swordsman and an Elementalist. Elementalists had a slow casting speed, and Swordsman could not attack from afar. So, he took off his helmet that had poor vision and heat.
