"Boss, where did Yang Yang go?" Jiang Mubei asked. "Didn't she see us?"

As Xu Linsen fled, he sighed, "Don't struggle anymore. She's seen us. It's just that saving the other one is more important..."

Jiang Mubei: "..."

This result is truly hard to accept.

They're clearly members of their Spade organization, yet they won't save the boss, but instead go and save outsiders.

"It seems that Guo Huzhan gossiped about was true," Jiang Mubei said. "There is indeed something wrong with Yang Yang and that boss of Baizhou."

Xu Linsen glanced at him. "What's Guo Huzhan gossiping about?"

Jiang Mubei whispered, "Isn't Guo Huzhan with those Freemasons and Time Walker? They've carved out a small settlement for Wilderness People in the southern wilderness. A while ago, Guo Huzhan told me that Yang Yang once said in the Outer World that she and someone went on their honeymoon..."

"Pfft," even the composed Xu Linsen couldn't hold back. "Is that so?"

"So, boss, would you say we've essentially formed a marriage alliance with Bai Zhou?" Jiang Mubei frowned. "So, helping them attract attention tonight doesn't count as doing all this for nothing?"

"You don't need to make up those things for yourself..."

Tonight, the epic battle between two A-level experts has disrupted the peace of the entire City 22. The PCE Public Security Management Committee is rushing to the Fourth District and has no time to pay attention to the Lower Three Districts.

"By the way, I wonder how many gangs they can take over with this opportunity? There should be more than ten, right?" Jiang Mubei said.

"Let's not think about these things for now, let's evacuate first," Xu Linsen said.

From afar, they could already hear the wailing of sirens...

But just then, the manhole cover in front of them was suddenly pushed open from the inside, and Zhang Mengqian poked her head out and said, "This way!"

Xu Linsen and Jiang Mubei were both stunned. Why was this little boy waiting for them here?

The two jumped into the storm drain together, only to find the little boy holding a flashlight and a hand-drawn map. The map showed the entire pipeline of City 22 and marked their escape route.

Zhang Mengqian waded through the puddles, one foot deep and one foot shallow, leading the way while looking at the map.

Xu Linsen asked curiously, "Who told you to wait for us here?"

Zhang Mengqian casually said, "My boss said that the Kamishiro Corporation is on very tight security right now and will definitely use nearby airships and armed helicopters. You won't be able to escape if you evacuate normally. Don't underestimate Kamishiro."

Xu Linsen was speechless for a long time. "So, he knew what we were coming for, and even planned out an evacuation route for us in advance? How thoughtful..."

What he really meant was that he had been tricked...

They've arranged everything perfectly, from when you make your move to when you evacuate and how you evacuate!

In the wide sewer, Xu Linsen suddenly turned to look at Jiang Mubei behind him. "Who suggested we attack Kamishiro Yunluo?"

"Chen Sui!" Jiang Mubei said.

Moreover, when they first arrived at the Black Swan Restaurant, Chen Sui was still inside, but in the blink of an eye, Chen Sui disappeared!

Moreover, Zhang Mengqian's status within the club was somewhat strange. Although he was just a boy, all the core members treated him very politely.

But this little boy just happened to be following that idiot Zhang Qinghuan around.

So, actually, Zhang Mengqian wasn't following Zhang Qinghuan, but rather that "Chen Sui".

No, to be precise, it wasn't Chen Sui, but rather the boss who lived during the day.

Many people now know that Boss Bai Zhou is skilled in disguise. The battle report of Kamishiro Yunxiu and others in Osaka has been exposed. Boss Bai Zhou even has the strange title of "Thousand-Faced Divine Lord" within Shen Dai.

Therefore, disguising himself as Chen Sui was not a difficult task.

Jiang Mubei suddenly stopped. "Boss, it seems we said a lot of things we shouldn't have in front of him..."

"Shut up first, let me sort this out..." Xu Linsen said expressionlessly.

They told the boss during the day that they wanted to break into the inner circle.

They told the boss during the day that they wanted to help Yang Yang investigate the other party.

Most importantly, just as they applied to join the Art Troupe, Chen Sui clung to them, clearly recognizing them. He even used their identities to kill Takahashi Taisei at the "Let's Take Off Our Pants and Fart Together Under the Neon Lights" bar.

Two Spade bigwigs, right in front of others, secretly plotted their infiltration...

Jiang Mubei said, "Boss, why don't we leave City 22? I don't want to come back to this city anymore..."

Xu Linsen sighed, "Let's go back to the club first, and we'll talk about it when we get back."

At this moment, Zhang Mengqian laughed, "Don't worry, the boss welcomes you. He said if you guess his identity, just let me speak to him, and he can pretend he didn't hear anything."

Jiang Mubei was disgusted; why was he being executed again?

Xu Linsen stared at Zhang Mengqian's retreating figure, his killing intent suddenly intensifying.

Xiao Mengqian turned around in shock and exclaimed, "What? It doesn't have to be murder to silence me!"

Xu Linsen said thoughtfully, "When someone tried to kill Zhang Qinghuan before, I noticed that you had a very sharp sense of things. I didn't think about it at the time, but now I realize something is wrong."

"The boss said I have a sixth sense," Zhang Mengqian said with a smile.

"Sixth sense," Xu Linsen asked, "After things are over here, why don't you come with me?"

This Black Spade A is considering poaching someone.

As an A-level individual, he knew best that the sixth sense was not a human's inherent perceptual ability, but a special ability that slowly emerged during the process of consciousness merging with the world.

In other words, Zhang Mengqian is still an ordinary person, but his consciousness has already begun to merge with the world.

How could Xu Linsen not be tempted?

Moreover, in the past few days he had discovered that Zhang Mengqian was a particularly clever boy, and had principles and a bottom line. There were too many reckless people like Jiang Mubei and Guo Huzhan in the Spade Club, and they needed someone like Zhang Mengqian who knew how to get things done.

"Come with me to the snowy mountains of Southwest China, and I'm sure you can change your destiny," Xu Linsen said earnestly.

Zhang Mengqian glanced back at him and said, "I'm not going. You're not as capable as my boss."

Xu Linsen: "..."

The Black Spade A personally invited an ordinary child, and the child actually refused?!

No, he must find a way to take this child away.

Inside the building in the Fourth District, Qing Chen was rapidly climbing upwards through the emergency exit.

However, just as he climbed to the 17th floor, the window he was passing suddenly shattered, and two pure black war robots rushed in and tightly gripped Qing Chen's arms.

Amidst the explosions, there seemed to be infrasound waves, barely perceptible to human hearing, destroying his internal organs.

This type of infrasound weapon, with a frequency below 20 Hz, is an excellent configuration for war robots. Certain specific frequencies are even the same as the resonant frequencies of human organs, which can severely damage internal human organs and cause death.

War robots, being made of steel, are not afraid of infrasound at all.

Today, infrasound weapons have become standard equipment in federal urban warfare, with extremely long wavelengths that can ignore large obstacles.

Qing Chen was in immense pain. He had a trump card to restrain these war machines, but he was unwilling to use it now!

"Get out of the way!" Qing Chen swung his arm forcefully and viciously hurled two war robots out of the broken window.

The war robots bent their arms and fired spikes that struck the exterior wall of the building. Once they had stabilized themselves on the wall, they began to climb upwards again at high speed.

Qing Chen took a deep breath, enduring the burning sensation in his internal organs, and ran towards the rooftop, no longer wanting to fight.

A few blocks away, Kamiyo Yunhe sat in a chair with a matrix-style monitor in front of him, displaying the first-person perspective of all the combat robots.

The man, Kamiyo Yunhe, with a tourniquet on his thigh, calmly watched as if he weren't the one with the broken leg.

His subordinates repeatedly urged him to go to the hospital, but he had to watch his boss, who was only around the clock, get arrested!

"Give me a radar anomaly report," Kamiyo Yunhe said coldly.

"No aircraft took off abnormally nearby, no airships, airships, or armed helicopters."

"Looks like there's no way out. We've finally caught you," Kamiyo Yunhe sneered. "The second combat squadron's airships and attack helicopters are expected to arrive on the battlefield in two minutes. All war robots, do not engage in close combat inside the building. Go to the rooftop to intercept him. This time, he doesn't even have a place to escape."

At this moment, dozens of war robots were climbing on the exterior wall of the building, each with mobility comparable to B-Class gene warrior!

This time, instead of trying to block it from inside the building, they went straight to the top floor, intending to cut off Qing Chen's last escape route.

As Qing Chen ran frantically up the stairs, he silently calculated the speed of the war robots.

At each turn on the stairs, he used the wall for leverage.

Wherever he went, the walls he used to propel would slightly collapse.

"I'm giving Xu Linsen and the others time to evacuate. I hope things don't go wrong..." Qing Chen thought to himself, jokingly.

He was calculating the time.

He couldn't wait any longer, but it wasn't the time he had agreed on yet, and the person he was waiting for wasn't upstairs in the building!

Qing Chen smashed through the iron gate on the rooftop. The rooftop was empty, and he could even hear the metallic clanging of the war robots climbing the walls below.

We can't wait any longer!

Qing Chen sprinted to the edge of the rooftop. Behind him were pursuers, and in front of him was a vast, abyss-like void. He spread his arms and leaped with all his might!

Qing Chen was neither carrying a parachute nor a hang glider.

Just like that, falling downwards is like committing suicide!

The war robots on the edge of the rooftop clung to the wall like climbers. When they saw Qing Chen jump out, they followed suit and jumped out one by one!

The black war robot stretched its body in the sky, but no matter how hard it tried, it could not match Qing Chen's speed.

"Something's not right... Open fire," Kamiyo Yunhe said menacingly, "Leave no survivors, kill them all."

On the right arm of the war robot, the parts that were originally interlocked retracted, revealing the cannon muzzles in their forearms.

But at that moment, all the war robots floated in the air and stopped falling. This scene, which defied the laws of physics, caused the aiming sights of all the war robots to deviate. The 40-caliber howitzers in their forearms all hit the buildings opposite the main building!

Qing Chen was still falling, the wind howling around him, and he was getting closer and closer to the ground!

In the darkness, a slender figure burst forth, catching Qing Chen in mid-air just before he landed. Then, she flew low into the distance, disappearing into the distance.

Kamiyo Yunhe sat in front of the monitor in silence for two seconds, then suddenly fired a shot, shattering the entire monitor screen.

There will be another chapter at 11 PM.
