Damn it! "
All the veteran hunters cursed in their hearts.
These rollerbladers were common deliverymen in the lair.
After all, the lair usually had a lot of chips, materials, crystals, and resources that could not see the light of day, and they had to be sent out safely and secretly.
The owners of the goods wanted to separate the people from the goods so that they could remove themselves as much as possible.
The rollerbladers were born.
They did not know the identities of the deliverymen and the recipients, and they did not know what goods they were delivering either. They just took the money to deliver the goods, and even if they were captured, they would not reveal any secrets.
"Why are there nine rollerbladers?"
"Could it be that Big Brother Knife has gathered all nine bags of stolen goods and is preparing to send them to the mastermind?"
"Then, which rollerblader are we supposed to chase after?"
The veteran hunters felt a headache coming on.
Meng Chao thought about it and said, "It can't be Nine Bags of Stolen Goods. Big Brother Knife mentioned it very clearly just now. The two robbers were a few hours late, and a lot of the resources they stole were fresh monster materials. Once they left the storage, they had to be sent to the pharmacy or the lab in time to be modified. That's the only way for them to bring out the best effects.
"So, all the stolen goods must have been sent to the mastermind once they entered the lair.
"Also, the nine rollerbladers were moving in different directions. I think that only one of the nine bags of stolen goods is real, and the other eight bags and the eight rollerbladers are all anti-tracking measures that were set up to mislead us!"
"Makes sense."
Everyone's minds raced, and they soon understood what he meant. Xue Rui nodded. "The mastermind shouldn't have noticed us yet, but if he can come up with hundreds of criminal plans and turn a large group of third-class thieves into well-trained, professional robbers, he must be a meticulous and cunning person. It's impossible for him not to be on guard. It's logical for him to set up some anti-tracking measures."
Hiring a rollerblader to move around the lair did not cost a lot of money.
But many of the veteran hunters found it troublesome.
Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong could only grit his teeth and say, "Don't let a single one of them escape. Mo Lan, Xue Rui, and everyone else, form groups of two and follow a rollerblader. See where they are going, especially who they gave their backpacks to.
"Meng Chao, stay behind and keep an eye on Big Brother Knife with me!"
Time was running out, and there was no time to think. Seeing that the nine rollerbladers were about to disappear completely, the veteran hunters found their most reliable teammates and quietly chased after them like ghosts, following the tacit understanding they had gained from years of cooperation in the jungle.
Accompanied by a slight tingling behind their ears, their visual signals transformed into invisible ripples that were transmitted to each other's brains.
The nine rollerbladers might have grown up in the lair and had the agility of apes, but there was no way they could escape a veteran hunter's sight, hearing, and smell.
Their every move in the shabby alleys was locked on by the veteran hunters.
However, it was impossible for them to sneak into the lair with great fanfare. Including Meng Chao, they only sent twenty pursuers.
The eighteen people split up, so only Meng Chao and Zhou Chong were left. Their fighting power was a little weak.
Fortunately, Zhou Chong was a Spirit Armor Realm elite at the peak of Heaven Realm, and Meng Chao's fighting strength was far greater than his realm.
Moving as fast as lightning, the two of them flashed into the building that had drawings of a tiger with wings. Like shadows that blended into the darkness, they floated up to the third floor and quietly approached the room where Brother Knife was.
Just as he was about to stick close to the wall and listen to what was going on inside.
The sound of a door opening came from inside.
Unable to dodge in time, they tumbled down the spiral staircase at the same time.
Like two giant bats, they clung to the back of the stairs.
Zhou Chong wanted to remind Meng Chao to control his breathing, heartbeat, and vitality magnetic field.
Then, she noticed that she had suddenly lost track of Meng Chao.
It was as if Meng Chao had instantly turned into a dead man and was devoured by a black hole.
Zhou Chong was slightly stunned. He could not help but turn his head around to look, and he noticed that Meng Chao was standing beside him, perfectly fine.
He could not help but gasp in amazement, and his evaluation of the youngest Heaven Realm superhuman in Dragon City increased.
Brother Knife walked down the stairs.
His hands were empty and he was whistling. He seemed to be in a good mood.
He did not notice the two hunters who were less than half a meter above his head.
He did not return to the room where the two robbers were located and eavesdropped on.
Instead, he went to the first basement and entered a corridor that was filled with twists and turns. It was as if he was in a maze, and he moved past a few homeless people who were curled up by the side of the road in ragged clothes.
Meng Chao and Zhou Chong appeared behind him in the darkness around the corner.
They looked at each other, and both of them were a little hesitant.
"If I were the mastermind, I would search for a few hidden sentries to pretend to be homeless people and curl up near my nest," Meng Chao whispered.
Praise shone in Zhou Chong's eyes. He nodded and said, "That's right. The homeless person on the left looks like he's covered in abscesses and disgusts me just by looking at him, but his vitality magnetic field is too strong and stable. His limbs are really strong, so he should be a burly man.
"This sort of person can survive no matter what he does in the lair. Why would he end up on the streets in such a pathetic state?"
Neither of them dared to approach Big Brother Knife's room from the front.
It was as if they had powerful spatial modeling abilities.
Through searching and scanning, they could already get a general idea of the structure of the few floors in the brain.
They first went to the second basement and went to the door of Big Brother Knife's room.
When they listened, they heard the sounds of people moving around inside. They were laughing and cursing. They seemed to be hot-blooded men, and there were quite a lot of them.
Neither of them wanted to cause unnecessary trouble, so they went back to the first basement and went to the room above Big Brother Knife's room.
It was quiet inside. Not even breathing or heartbeats could be heard.
Regardless of whether it was a normal door lock or a special password lock with extra materials, they could not stop Heaven Realm superhumans who were skilled in using magnetic fields to control objects remotely.
Zhou Chong placed his palm gently on the keyhole. His spirit energy seeped in like water and sucked on the keyhole. After a while, a clear click came from inside.
The door opened, and at the moment Meng Chao went in, his senses spread through the entire room like a tidal wave. He was certain that there were no living beings inside.
It was a small suite.
Aside from the small kitchen and toilet, there were only two rooms.
The room stank, and the corners were filled with trash. The bedding was crumpled and crumpled.
The owner should have left in a hurry to earn a living. He was still around, but he would not be back for a while.
Meng Chao lay on the floor and poured spirit energy into his auditory nerves and eardrums to listen. Through the reinforced concrete, he could hear Big Brother Knife's hoarse voice coming from the room below.
He was talking to someone.
And he was not alone.
There were also a lot of sounds of weapons clashing against each other and guns being disassembled, assembled, and loaded.
Zhou Chong knelt on one knee and widened his eyes to stare at the floor.
His eyes gradually became sparkling and translucent.
It was as if they had turned into two high-powered searchlights.
They shone with more than seven dazzling colors.
Five-star Heaven Realm was known as Spirit Vision Realm. They could activate the mysterious functions that had been sleeping in their nerve cells for ten thousand years. They could see light of different wavelengths and temporarily obtain X-ray vision.
Zhou Chong was a six-star Spirit Armor Realm cultivator, so his X-ray vision was naturally much better than when he was a five-star Spirit Vision Realm cultivator.
He narrowed his eyes, and his gaze burned like fire. After a moment, he said, "Aside from Big Brother Knife, there are twenty-seven people down there. Six of them are heavily injured, and eight of them are lightly injured. But they've been treated, so they're fine for the time being. Their vitality magnetic fields are very active, and they're abnormally excited. I suspect that they took a lot of drugs that drained their lives and forcefully increased their fighting strength.
"Also, they brought a lot of guns and dangerous items, including crystal bombs."
"They're robbers who committed major crimes over the past two days and fled to the lair," Meng Chao whispered.
The robbers were all small fries and did not have much value.
Both of them placed their hopes on the veteran hunters who were chasing after the nine rollerbladers and hoped that they would bring good news.
But no one knew what Big Brother Knife had said to the nine rollerbladers, but they did not seem to be in a hurry to find their buyers. Instead, they wandered around the streets and alleys in the lair. They intentionally went to the places where the roads were narrower, bumpy, and where there were more people.
The veteran hunters had to keep a close eye on the rollerbladers and the people who might be trading with them.
But they also had to be wary of any hidden sentries who pretended to be vagrants, drunkards, or prostitutes.
Even Heaven Realm superhumans had to use up a lot of energy and patience to sneak around and chase after people at such a high level.
At that moment, the veteran hunters received news from the outside world.
"I'll tell you something."
Nie Chenglong, the vice director of the abnormal beast research department, said in a rather low voice, "Ten minutes ago, South Garden New Village in the south of the city, North Sea Home in the north of the city, and Golden Eagle Apartments in the west of the city discovered large rat hordes in three large residential areas with more than ten thousand people.
"While the residents were fighting against the rat horde, they noticed that after quite a number of rat-type monsters were killed, red tentacles grew out of their bodies. They revived in an even more terrifying manner and turned into undead.
"We highly suspect that the three rat hordes were intentionally released by the abnormal beasts. Aside from being infected with Blood Flower spores, rat-type monsters might also be carrying new and mutated zombie viruses.
"Many residents have been scratched and bitten in the process of fighting against the Rat Tide.
"There's also a large number of rat-type monsters that fled outside the three residential areas.
"In the worst-case scenario, a new zombie crisis will break out in less than half an hour.
"Therefore, a large amount of manpower and resources have to be transferred to Southern Garden New Village, Beihai Home, and Golden Eagle Apartments.
"Look at the map. These three large residential areas are located in the south, west, and north of Dragon City. They're very far away from the lair. In other words, the enemy is intentionally spreading out our forces, but we have no other choice. For the safety of the citizens' lives and property, we can only be led by the nose.
"Since the enemy is luring us away, they will definitely join forces in the lair. You have to be careful!"
Before Nie Chenglong finished speaking.
Meng Chao could already see the shocking change through the eighteen veteran hunters' eyes!
