Chapter 131: The Time Bomb

Chapter 131: The Time Bomb

Compared to Tang Cuos smooth-sailing progress, Jin Cheng, who was still engaged in metaphysics, was facing some trouble.

Even when he made such an exaggerated move in Zone B, Yan Ye and Rong Yi still hadnt been found, while many people were now crowding around the ruins. Players in Zone B were the elites second only to Zone A, who werent as afraid of him as those in the low-ranking zones. At this point, someone immediately stepped forward to speak with him.

Jin Cheng asked Chi Yan to continue searching, while he himself was held back. The more people gathered here, the more probable it would be for Yan Ye to blend into the crowd and flee.

Yan Ye is related to Scarlets escape. If anyone here tries to stop me, Ill consider that person to be on the same side as Scarlet. Jin Cheng said concisely, not bothering to explain much.

Jin Cheng, boss Jin, arent you a bit too tyrannical? The man opposite him joked.

Tyrannical? Scarlet is more tyrannical than me. You can reason with her. Jin Cheng slightly raised an eyebrow.

Dont, were here to see if you need any help Before the mans words finished, a woman with a pale face and a hint of gloominess hanging in between her eyebrows emerged from the crowd, and she frowned at Jin Cheng: Jin Cheng, Scarlet got out because of you. No matter what method you use, you have to be responsible for the people lying on the ground. You have to save them!

Oh, how come I didnt know that youre all so full of compassion? Jin Cheng asked back.

My friends are among them. The woman clenched her fists.

Then give a helping hand. If you dont want to, then f-off.

You Before the words could leave her lips, they vanished under Jin Chengs arrow. Jin Cheng stretched his bowstring and warned her with a smile: I reject any form of guilt-tripping. One more sentence and Ill send you to jail.

Saying so, he raised his voice: Chi Yan, have you found them?

No! Chi Yan responded loudly. In response to Jin Chengs call for metaphysics, his [Kylin Arm] had been activated, so he rummaged through the ruins with this arm but still found nothing.

It was impossible for the surrounding players to just watch. Many people had already entered the ruins, either to keep watch or to join in the search. The man in front of Jin Cheng finally stepped up to appease the woman, saying with a smile: Okay, lets leave everything else aside. At least everyones goal is the same, right? Lets find Yan Ye first, then we can talk later.

Jin Cheng knew that it was impossible for him to stop so many people, and it would be even more unwise to take action, so he simply gazed coldly at the players as they entered and didnt speak.

If he didnt say anything, it was a form of silent acquiescence.

The man patted the woman on the shoulder, and the woman finally nodded before carefully taking two steps back. She walked across Jin Cheng and worked with the other players.

But even with so many people searching together and turning over every brick in the ruins to inspect, they didnt find any clues

Just when everyone started to doubt whether Jin Cheng was lying to them, Chi Yan withdrew and slowly heaved a sigh. His face didnt seem very good at this point, because he had been using his [Kylin Arm] non-stop, which consumed too much energy and forced him to stop to take a rest. But his not very good was different from others. His face flushed and his head sweat profusely, making him look like an energetic teenager who had just finished playing basketball.

Jin Cheng cast him a glance and didnt bother him, and neither did he join in the search. He stood at the edge of the ruins with his arms folded like a watchman. His purpose, of course, was to prevent Yan Ye from escaping.

The players certainly felt uncomfortable when he just stood there with the look of a big boss. They were obviously here to help Even if they had some opinions, they were also helping now. How come Jin Cheng, the man in the middle of this whole affair, suddenly became the supervisor?

But this man was just like this. He emanated that air that invited people to beat him up, but no one would be able to actually beat him up.

Really infuriating.

Now that Chi Yan had also withdrawn, the players felt even more unhappy. If the big boss doesnt want to do it, fine, but why is the xiaodi also taking a rest?

Was he having any awareness of being a xiaodi?

No one knew how much time had passed. Perhaps one second or one minute later, everyones body returned to normal and they opened their eyes again to find themselves stunned.

Yan Yes house had been restored to its original state, where only some of the damage inside could be vaguely seen through the windows, and the players who originally stood on the ruins were now scattered around the house.

Everyone suspiciously looked around, and all of a sudden, an exclamation came from the gate. One after another, they ran over.

God

Whats the situation?!

Who is that?!

F**k

Amidst the exclamation, the players who had gathered spotted Chi Yan in the center of their field of vision, then they saw the person he was clutching in his hands. One by one, they couldnt help but join in the crowd who was all gasping in sheer surprise.

Chi Yan himself felt even more dumbstruck than anyone.

Could anyone tell him what was going on? What did the [Time Bomb] change? Why was he grabbing someone as soon as he opened his eyes? Although his [Kylin Arm] came with a good luck buff and it could launch critical hits with eerily correct precision, so much so that even if the elites of Zone A stood in front of him, they still faced a risk of getting hit. But how did he catch a person just like that?

Why???

It was Yan Ye that was caught by Chi Yan.

Yan Ye had never felt so aggrieved. Even if she was hit by the [Time Bomb], she shouldnt have been so unlucky. If it were Jin Cheng or Rong Yi who caught her, she would accept it, but this was Chi Yan.

Such a small-fry xiaodi, who was he to catch her?!

F**k off! The word Yan Ye spat out was like a sonic bomb that directly hit Chi Yans chest. Caught off-guard, Chi Yan jumped backwards, almost sputtering a mouthful of blood.

Fortunately, Jin Cheng rescued him in time, and at this point, Rong Yi, who had disappeared for a long time, finally turned up at the room door.

Jin Cheng and Rong Yi glanced at each other, then their eyes both fell on Yan Ye again. Without saying a word, they immediately took action.

At the same time, Tang Cuo finished his interrogation with Pei Pei. He obtained the addresses of several bases that belonged to Lawless and immediately spread this information by borrowing the mouths of the players on the scene.

He couldnt guarantee that the players wouldnt try to attack Lawless, nor could he guarantee that this wouldnt lead to them accidentally disturbing some dangerous people. The real issue was that his team didnt have enough manpower, so he could only use other players hands to deal with Lawless.

After doing all this, he immediately sent Pei Pei and Tall Man to jail, then rushed to South Sixth Street with Qian Wei.

He predicted that Lawless should have mostly evacuated from the base on South Sixth Street, but given that the city was in such an urgent state, they would certainly not decide to go too far. Lets first head to South Sixth Street to determine the situation, then use it as a starting point to search around.

On the way, Qian Wei kept thinking about the scene where Tang Cuo sent Pei Pei and Tall Man to jail earlier. Clever, ruthless people were indeed so similar. He asked Pei Pei and the Tall Man to stab each other, isnt that exactly the same as what Zheng Yingying did?!

Now that he thought about it, they must know each other, or perhaps they had a close relationship, otherwise, how could they make such corresponding moves? Qian Wei couldnt help but pat his face, warning himself not to talk anymore and even harbouring a thought to slip away halfway.

But he thought about it again. Forget it, Im already here, an upright fighter will never shy away.

But by the time the two reached South Sixth Street to take a look, the building was already empty. Since it was all as expected, Tang Cuo didnt show the slightest disappointment. Very quickly, he ran to the next location.
