He was the child of a core member of the Black Hand Gang, destined to hold an important position in the gang in the future. Putting him in charge of the team this time was mainly to hone his skills, and if he could secure the victory, it would be a tremendously advantageous experience for his future.
Especially since they gave him several hundred sharpshooters, his trump card.
Under normal circumstances, the winner was almost certainly going to be him.
But... the situation was clearly not normal now.
It was a bit tricky, but it could be resolved.
After taking a deep breath of cold air, the man named Qi Tao seemed to reassure himself, "It's okay, it can be resolved."
Before this, he climbed to the top of a tree and noticed the commotion in the forest, reminiscent of a bulldozer at work. He led his men on a wide detour, planning to circle around behind Chen Miao and launch a surprise attack on him.
Even though Chen Miao was an armed henchman with ridiculously excessive firepower.
But one of the biggest drawbacks of a gunman should remain the same, that is, apart from body armor, they had almost no other means of defense.
As long as he could get behind Chen Miao, with hundreds of sharpshooters firing simultaneously from behind, they would surely take Chen Miao down.
As Qi Tao moved swiftly through the mess of horizontal branches on the ground, he couldn't help but fantasize in his heart about the boss's praise for his courage and strategic thinking, ready to take on great responsibilities.
Soon—
He caught sight of Chen Miao.
Good news, Chen Miao hadn't noticed them.
Bad news, Chen Miao was followed by a bunch of people, who were walking backward.
Both sides, caught in a dead stare for a moment, then roared in unison.
"Fire!! Fire!!"
"Miao, there're people behind us!!!"
Almost simultaneously, both sides pulled triggers and activated their body armors. The body armor would light up with each successful defense. Barely into the battle, the protective gear on both sides was flickering rapidly, almost like continuous lights.
But... Chen Miao soon noticed the enemies behind him and turned his gun to aim at them. At that moment, Qi Tao truly experienced what despair was, watching the bullets swarm over him like a dark cloud, his face filled with despair and sadness, and he had just one thought.
If there's Miao, why bother with Tao!
We're all gunmen, so why does your gunman get to do that?
The outcome was no surprise.
This was also the first time Chen Miao saw other supernaturals in the secret realm, and he was somewhat intrigued, smacking his lips, "Indeed, the secret realm is fraught with danger. These few hundred people managed to sneak up on me so silently, quite impressive."
It seems bringing more people is indeed useful.
"This Chen Miao is the one who killed Third Brother, right?"
In a villa in the suburbs of Gaobei City, a tall woman was idly lying on a red leather sofa, carelessly applying lotion to her pale, moon-like legs.
"Is he that strong?"
"Can you stop him?"
"Me?"
Leaning against the balcony railing, a man with a side-swept fringe covering one eye shook his head and said, "Never tried, don't know if I can stop him. Although Third Brother probably didn't die by his hand, he's certainly related to it."
"He's quite strong among the new Supernaturals. If he doesn't die young, he should achieve quite a bit."
"And if he does die young?" the woman asked nonchalantly.
"Hmm."
The man shrugged his shoulders without speaking, but his implication was clear: a dead person, no matter their potential or achievements while alive, was an existence without meaning.
"Hmm..."
After pondering for a moment, the woman said, "If I'm not mistaken, the person who killed our guys last time was that Doctor Gou? Doctor Gou and this guy are quite close, and it seems he was also there at that time."
"He recently snatched 200 AI pills too? Seems like he's really short on cash."
"Let's give him an opportunity, create a good karma. Set a time for dinner, get to know the guy, and see if we get along with him or not," she proposed.
"Yes, boss."
...
It was rare to see a woman leading a force, especially one heading a chaotic organization.
And when a woman was in charge,
it often resulted in several extremes.
One such extreme was sheer madness.
While the AI pill business in other cities operated in the shadows, daring not to come into the open, Gaobei City had reached a completely different level.
On the highway of Gaobei City's outskirts, an extended heavy truck suddenly blared its horn, turned, and horizontally parked itself in the middle of the road, blocking all traffic.
Then, a group of Supernaturals wielding various weapons descended from the truck, expressionlessly observing those who got out of their cars intending to argue, and after a moment's hesitation, the people quietly returned to their vehicles.
The once unobstructed highway was instantaneously jammed, creating a vast open space up front.
Subsequently—
To the bewildered stares of countless onlookers, a private plane loaded with AI pills flew in from afar at a low altitude. It lowered its landing gear, rapidly decreased altitude, and prepared to land on the expansive area blocked off by the truck.
