"Stop right there!"
The sewer maintenance room was located near the military camp. As soon as Luo Yuan stepped out of the door, a group of soldiers ran towards him and surrounded him.
"What are you doing? Don't you know this is a military camp?"
His eyes flashed fiercely, but he quickly calmed down and said with a 'panicked' face, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. It's been a little stuffy lately, so I ended up here. I really didn't know this was a military camp."
"Where's your ID? Can I check it?"
"ID? Sir, who would bring this out? "Luo Yuan hinted," Why don't you come back with me? "
The soldiers' vigilant expressions relaxed a little. They looked at each other and felt that he didn't look like a wanted person. They waved their hands and said, "This is just a warning. Forget it. The next time we see you, we'll arrest you."
"Thank you, sir. I'll leave now …" Luo Yuan replied quickly and left.
The leader of the soldiers saw the Zhanmadao on Luo Yuan's waist and the sudden appearance of Luo Yuan. He felt that something was wrong, but he did not say anything and let Luo Yuan leave.
Luo Yuan walked for a while and dodged the soldiers' line of sight. The tunnels of the shelter were accessible, but Luo Yuan noticed that almost every intersection was guarded by soldiers. Some of the main roads even had sentry posts set up.
Along the way, Luo Yuan had gone through five checks in less than half an hour. If he had not hinted to escape, he would have had to fight his way out. In the end, he had no choice but to steal the ID from a passerby and change into the person's appearance. Only then did he stop.
Dark red bloodstains and bullet holes could be seen on the ground from time to time. Some parts of the wall had even been damaged, and a few passages had collapsed. It was obvious that a battle had taken place here. It seemed that the evolved humans who had escaped with him yesterday did not have it easy.
The rebels had gained a foothold and their control was getting deeper. Time was not on their side. The longer it dragged on, the more dangerous it would be. Luo Yuan was worried when he thought of Huang Jiahui and the others who were still missing. He could not let this drag on any longer.
Of course, he had not come out just to gather information. If there was a good opportunity, he would not mind solving the problem directly.
Luo Yuan quickly collected his thoughts because the city hall was not far away.
The security here was even tighter. There was a platoon of soldiers patrolling on both sides of the road. There were also two armored vehicles that were always on standby. Not to mention the various hidden sentries.
As soon as Luo Yuan got closer, he could feel a few people staring at his chest and back. He knew without looking that he had been targeted by a sniper rifle.
His expression was calm as he casually glanced in that direction. Then, he turned and walked into another passage.
At this moment, his footsteps paused slightly. A person had suddenly appeared at the entrance of the city hall. This person was none other than Shen Jixing, whom he had just met yesterday. Unfortunately, he happened to be walking in this direction.
Luo Yuan hid to the side and pulled him over when he passed by.
Shen Jixing was startled. Just as he was about to activate his ability, he felt a cold stinging sensation coming from his throat.
"Don't move if you don't want to die!" A low and deep voice entered his ears, causing his entire body to go cold, but it was also vaguely familiar. However, before he had time to think, he felt a wave of dizziness, and his body had already fallen to the side.
"Who are you?" Shen Jixing looked at the tip of the knife pointed at his throat. He was shocked and angry. "This is the entrance of the city hall. If you kill me, you won't be able to live either."
"I didn't expect you to betray us in just one day." Luo Yuan's face slowly returned to normal as he said coldly.
Shen Jixing's facial expression changed slightly. The counterattack that he had initially prepared had also quickly dissipated. As someone who was known as Luo Yuan, no matter how arrogant he was, he did not think that he could defeat him with his current ability.
He stared at Luo Yuan and said painfully, "You're not me. Of course you can talk like this, but I can't afford to pay the price. If I don't surrender, not only will I die, but my mother will also die. I don't care if I die, but I can't let my mother get hurt. What do you want me to do?"
Luo Yuan was stunned. He could not help but think of his parents who had died a long time ago. The killing intent in his heart was slightly reduced. "But this is not a reason for you to betray us. Tell me, who is the mastermind of this rebellion. "
Shen Jixing looked at the tip of the knife that had moved slightly away from his throat and let out a sigh of relief. He knew that his life was saved. His eyes flashed as he said, "A powerful evolved person with terrifying abilities. I suggest you give up. His abilities might be higher than level five."
"Where is he?" Luo Yuan interrupted.
"He's inside. He doesn't usually show his face, but I happened to see him just now," Shen Jixing said.
"Bring me there!" Luo Yuan said.
"This …" Shen Jixing hesitated. Seeing that Luo Yuan's expression was getting colder, he quickly said, "Alright, but the security here is strict. You have to give me the knife. You're also an evolved person who came here to surrender."
Seeing that Luo Yuan had agreed, Shen Jixing also relaxed. He tidied up his messy clothes, took Luo Yuan's Zhanmadao and said, "Follow me and don't talk."
Luo Yuan quickly changed his appearance, and soon he looked like Xiao Baihong. The only difference was that he was a little thinner and a few centimeters taller. As long as one was not familiar with him, they would not be able to tell the difference.
Shen Jixing was surprised, but Luo Yuan had already changed his appearance once, so he was not surprised.
With someone familiar leading the way, the journey was very smooth. The guard at the door only asked about the specific situation and quickly let them pass. Looking at the respectful eyes of these people, it was obvious that Shen Jixing's position here was not low.
The city hall occupied a large area, and it was divided into dozens of offices and five to six corridors. There were people coming and going in a hurry, and the sound of the printer could be heard constantly. It seemed to be unusually busy. If Luo Yuan did not know that Desert City had been occupied, he would have thought that everything that had happened before was just an illusion.
Luo Yuan walked past the mayor's office, and the door was wide open. He looked inside and saw a middle-aged man reading some documents. Although he did not raise his head, Luo Yuan could still recognize that he was Mayor Song, whom he had met a few times before.
Thinking of Xu Zhiqiang's Master Liu, Luo Yuan became more and more confused. Could these people really be controlled?
Mayor Song seemed to have sensed that something was wrong. He subconsciously raised his head and looked at the door. Mayor Song looked calm, and Luo Yuan did not notice anything unusual.
"How much farther?"
"It's not far now!" Shen Jixing looked slightly nervous.
There was an iron door at the end of the corridor, and four soldiers stood on both sides. When they saw the two of them, the soldiers did not ask any questions, and immediately pressed the button on the wall to open the door.
Luo Yuan looked at Shen Jixing in surprise.
Shen Jixing looked tense, and did not say anything, but his body began to tremble slightly.
Luo Yuan frowned, and his expression gradually became serious. If Shen Jixing was so afraid, the person's ability must be very strong.
The door slowly opened.
It was very spacious inside, about the size of a basketball court. It was such a big space, but there was nothing except for a few iron towers that reached the ceiling.
A large number of copper wires as thick as an arm were wrapped around the tower, and each tower weighed at least ten tons.
"Electromagnetic tower!" Luo Yuan's expression changed.
Suddenly, the door was closed, and a clapping sound came from the corridor in front of the hall.
"You're indeed a super evolved human. I've been waiting for you for a long time." Su Yu slowly walked out from the darkness.
As he appeared, the hall was suddenly filled with free static electricity, causing Luo Yuan's hair to float gently.
His gaze suddenly became cold. His opponent obviously knew his identity, and he did not need to think to know that he had fallen into a trap. However, he did not know what the problem was. He suddenly looked at Shen Jixing, and realized that he had unknowingly retreated a few meters away.
"Shen Jixing!"
All of a sudden, he understood everything. How could this kind of person who had just surrendered not have monitoring methods? With the development of technology, it was too easy to monitor a person. A button-sized tapping device was enough to solve everything.
Now that he thought about it, the previous conversation seemed to have been intentional or unintentional. It was funny that he did not know anything about it. It seemed that as his ability grew, his alertness had been greatly reduced.
Shen Jixing retreated step by step, his face showing a hint of pride. Meeting Luo Yuan this time was a complete accident. Even he did not expect that Luo Yuan would come to assassinate him. After a short moment of panic, he decided to beat him at his own game. He did not expect that he would fall into the trap so easily.
Five meters, six meters … As he retreated further, his expression became more relaxed. "Surrender, Luo Yuan, or you'll die."
At that moment, he saw Luo Yuan smile at him. He suddenly felt his heart throbbing, and his heart almost skipped a beat. Oh no!
He quickly prepared to activate his ability, but just as he was about to do so, his vision blurred. A blurry shadow suddenly appeared seven to eight meters away. A strong sense of danger made his scalp numb, and his body began to tremble slightly.
However, before he could activate his ability, the saber in his hand suddenly disappeared, and the next moment, he felt a chill on his neck.
Blood gushed out as if it was free. Shen Jixing's eyes were filled with fear and despair. He looked at Luo Yuan, who had already retreated to his original position, and staggered a few steps back before finally falling to the ground.
Luo Yuan held the Zhanmadao in his hand, and a drop of blood slid down the tip. "It's your turn now."
