"Thank you so much for rescuing us from this sea of suffering!"
"You're such a good person, boohoo!"
Inside the passageway of the six-and-a-half-story secret chamber, the seventeen prisoners, who had been released by Ren Batian and were covered in wounds and barely clothed, stood together, supporting each other.
Led by a young man with a shiny bald head, burn marks, and a scar below his right eye, they all bowed to Wu Heng.
After bowing, the young man looked at Wu Heng with a questioning gaze, his mouth seemingly about to open, but he held back.
Seeing the other person's conflicted expression, Wu Heng already guessed what they wanted to ask.
He probably wanted to ask himself if he was someone hired by his company specifically to rescue him.
All I can say is,
This young man overestimated his position, or rather, his organization simply lacked the ability to rescue him.
However, Wu Heng didn't say much.
This young man was the "Riman He Ridong " mentioned in one of the prisoner files during his interrogation at the intelligence office, who was supposed to hold a target-planting festival on November 15th.
He was a spy planted within Dark Snow Dark Snow Company Shadow Society, a rival organization.
He himself is also a first-tier psionicist.
Even though this was an emergency escape and rescue operation, everyone subconsciously agreed to let the stronger psychic He Ridong take the lead and express their gratitude to Wu Heng.
At this moment, the people in the passage who had bowed had handed over the reins to Wu Heng, and all stared at Wu Heng expectantly, then glanced at Ren Batian.
The hierarchical system had already been implicitly established by the people.
Wu Heng was the leader, followed by Ren Batian, and then He Ridong.
This is the most authentic survival rule in nature: when the difference in power is too great, exceeding the constraints of regulations, it will degenerate into a leader system.
"Stop with the formalities, let's get out of here!"
Wu Heng waved his hand calmly, stopping everyone from dawdling.
He glanced at the back of the crowd, at a young woman being supported by a middle-aged woman. The woman's hair was disheveled, and although her skin was fair, it appeared swollen.
You can even see the capillaries and muscle texture clearly through the skin, just like a walnut that has been polished for ten years, with an unnatural luster.
This woman is the one who's suffering the most; she's too weak to tolerate good nutrition, and her health has been severely damaged.
However, this matter had nothing to do with Wu Heng, so he turned and walked towards the elevator.
Ren Batian kept quiet this time and didn't ask any other questions. In fact, there was another young man being held in cell 674, but he had been tortured to the point of complete madness.
Even after he opened the cell door, the other person remained huddled in the corner, refusing to come out no matter what. When he tried to pull him out, he was almost bitten.
Due to the urgency of the situation, Ren Batian had no choice but to save the others first. However, he believed that Wu Heng must know about this matter, and since his elder brother had not mentioned it again, there was no need to say anything more.
The chains that Ren Batian had been dragging with both hands had been cleaved in two again, leaving only a foot-long section wrapped around his wrists.
He carried an axe and followed closely behind Wu Heng, like a mountain bandit.
Larger than a normal elevator, resembling a freight elevator, yet exquisitely decorated like a room, it can carry a large number of people in one trip.
Everyone in the elevator crowded together, leaving no space within two feet of Wu Heng, not daring to overstep their bounds even slightly.
Only Ren Batian stood about a foot and a half away from Wu Heng.
Wu Heng would throw out a gasoline can every time he went down a floor.
The continuous appearance of gasoline drums had already astonished everyone, but they dared not ask, only guessing that it was the ability of a powerful psychic.
As soon as the elevator doors opened on the third floor, three corpses were revealed: two men and one woman.
It was that receptionist woman, and two information security Engineer.
All three bodies were riddled with bullets and charred black. The walls of the room were riddled with bullet holes, and stray bullets pierced through the leather-clad walls, revealing steel plates a centimeter below.
Wu Heng placed the two sealed gasoline cans outside the elevator door, without throwing them into the room. There was clearly high voltage in the room, and throwing them directly would instantly ignite the entire floor.
Upon reaching the luxurious lobby on the first floor, Wu Heng secretly placed three time bombs inside the elevator and pressed the button for the fifth floor again, causing the elevator to return to its original position.
Inside the hall, the pungent smell of burning flesh mingled with the aroma of meat. The charred corpses of 20 Dark Snow warriors and the cratered marks on the floor, resembling those of lava, sent chills down everyone's spines.
After all, those who were captured here knew how powerful these security guards were.
"What happened here has been leaked."
"Even though we don't know who's coming, we'd better get out of here quickly."
Wu Heng added a sentence to the group, who were very weak after enduring a lot of torture in prison.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately straightened up and mustered their strength.
They've had enough of the torture and absolutely refuse to be taken back.
Wu Heng led everyone back into the sewers, and after reaching the next street, they stopped and said:
"The time bomb has 10 minutes to explode, and the flames, fueled by gasoline, won't be so easy to extinguish."
"That one hour is your time to escape."
"You may leave now, I'm off."
Before anyone could react, Wu Heng, having already spoken, darted out through the manhole cover above his head.
He didn't want to use such a low-class approach.
However, the Red Moon Federation's surveillance is everywhere, even with the interference of the Swine Two.
However, by simply tracking the jammed camera, Wu Heng's route can still be captured.
Especially since he brought such a large group of people with him.
Those who were captured by the Dark Snow Company all possessed unique abilities, but those were merely the skills of ordinary people. Only Ren Batian and He Ridong had any real power.
Wu Heng rescued them just as a favor.
They didn't expect these people to have much impact or cause any disruption to Dark Snow Company's operations.
Just because,
He recalled the feeling of being strapped to the operating table, the cold scalpel cutting into his chest.
When I awoke, I desperately wished that a kind soul would pass by and save me.
Moreover, both of them are connected to this Dark Snow Company.
Wu Heng, feeling empathy for them, then It Comes them as well.
But taking these people out of Dark Snow Company was already a huge favor. He had no intention of being a babysitter and taking care of them all the way through, which is why his attitude remained indifferent and he left decisively.
This is to prevent these people from developing a dependency mentality and getting involved in every trouble.
They met by chance, and whether they live or die afterward depends on themselves and whether their fate is strong enough.
inside the sewer,
By the time He Ridong realized what was happening, Wu Heng had already left.
He Ridong stared at the manhole cover, which had closed again and was still shaking, his eyes filled with regret.
"Batian, where are you going?" He Ridong, who had just come to his senses and was about to give everyone instructions, saw that his only remaining fighter, Ren Batian, had also darted towards the manhole cover and jumped out.
He hurriedly and affectionately called out.
"Don't worry, I'll come find you, Adong." Ren Batian's figure disappeared, and his reply came from the ground into the sewers.
Two complete strangers, who have just exchanged names, are addressing each other with such warmth; one can only assume they each have their own reasons.
He Ridong glanced enviously at the closed manhole cover. He didn't have the courage to chase after it. The mysterious person who saved him was too oppressive, and his tone was very cold.
He was now certain that the other party was not from his organization and that he could command anyone.
However, thinking of his own Shadow Society, he felt much more at ease.
Zhuang Ying, the president of his own guild, was an outstanding second-tier psychic, and had taken him in since he was a child, making him like a father figure to him.
He Ridong withdrew his gaze and looked at the remaining fifteen people, who looked completely lost. He comforted them, saying:
"We're all now mortal enemies of Dark Snow Company. If any of you have nowhere to go, you can come with me to our Shadow Society."
"You may not know this, Shadow Society is Dark Snow's enemy. Our leader is no weaker than Wu Zhan, and he can also solve your ordinary security problems."
"Of course, if anyone has their own place to go, I will never stop them. After all, more development is a good thing, and the enemy of my enemy is my friend."
After speaking, He Ridong glanced at the crowd, chose the south-facing passage, took four or five steps forward, then turned around and said:
"Time is of the essence. Those who are willing to come, follow me!"
He waved to the crowd and then continued on his way.
However, this set of movements seemed familiar, almost a complete replica of Wu Heng's movements in the prison cell.
Even the height of their raised hands, the speed of their turn, and the angle at which they turned their heads were exactly the same.
When everyone was willing to leave with He Ridong
Wu Heng walked leisurely along the street for about a hundred meters before stopping. He turned his head slightly and said:
What are you doing here?
"A person must rely on themselves!"
Ren Batian, panting heavily, stopped running and said with a fawning smile:
"Brother, you've misunderstood. I just wanted to leave you my social media account so we could stay in touch."
"You saved my life, and you helped me avenge my family. From now on, if you have any requests, you can contact me through this account. I'll go through fire and water for you, just give the order!"
"If I hesitate even slightly, you can just rip my head off."
Wu Heng pondered for a moment. The guy in front of him was indeed quite clever. Although his smile was lewd, the sincerity in his words made him hard to dislike.
Having just escaped from prison, he risked exposure just to leave a way to repay his benefactor; that shows his thoughtfulness.
"Okay, go ahead and tell me, I have a good memory."
The shadows obscured Wu Heng's body, making it impossible to see his eyes; only his calm voice could be heard.
"Brother, I've finished writing it. Here you go."
"This is my daughter's account. I created it for them when they were born, but they haven't had a chance to use it yet. Only my wife and I are listed on it."
Ren Batian handed Wu Heng a piece of paper with a string of numbers already written on it.
The handwriting was newly written; it's unclear when he casually grabbed the paper and pen from inside the Dark Snow Building. On the third floor, he was shirtless and had nothing at all.
Wu Heng took the note and vanished from his hand in an instant.
"Is there anything else?"
"That's all, brother. Take care. If you need any errands or favors, remember to call me! All I can do is save my life."
Ren Batian waved his hand, his obsequious smile concealing an overwhelming sorrow.
Wu Heng didn't speak again. He activated Swine Two's ability and quickly left the city, following the shadow of the wall.
*

'He's a pitiful person, that's the tragedy of the weak.'
As Wu Heng ran wildly in the suburbs, he recalled Ren Batian's performance and muttered something to himself.
At this moment, Wu Heng could feel waves of fear emanating from all directions Beiquan City.
There are approximately 400 shares, and the number continues to increase.
A detailed map of the Beiquan City flashed through his mind, with the locations of these fears marked on it one by one.
The concentration varies from person to person.
Judging by the time, the time bomb should have already set the Dark Snow Building ablaze.
Among them, about 27 were so intense as to evoke a sense of life-or-death fear, and they were quite widely dispersed.
The remaining fears were relatively mild and concentrated around the Dark Snow Building, likely stemming from shared fear among those who witnessed the fire.
The difference is quite easy to distinguish.
*

It took Wu Heng another three hours to leave the city.
Following the exact opposite direction, we circled the outskirts of the Beiquan City, then climbed mountains and crossed lakes before returning to our guesthouse on Deer Mountain.
It was just before dawn.
Wu Heng remained in his room in the cave, feeling the terror emanating from the air.
We are also reflecting on the shortcomings of this operation.
If this were at the end of the previous storyline, Wu Heng wouldn't have dared to so openly seek revenge in the city center, relying solely on Swine Two's Deceptive Wall-Breaking Technique and the Cursed Disciple's Skin Graft.
However, because he had gained the ability to manipulate terrifying emotions this time, a versatile power, Wu Heng had a deeper level of protection in terms of concealment and aura isolation.
He didn't know if those top-tier Tower Master could detect him.
But given his current abilities, even if his strength were ten times greater, it would probably be difficult for him to detect it.
However, there are just too many strange abilities inside the Lighthouse.
Some of them even possess abilities similar to 'money spirits,' 'pen spirits,' and 'divination.'
Wu Heng wasn't sure if he would be identified.
However, the surrounding high-level forces have already gone to the node, and they can't escape in just a day or two. He has enough buffer time to continue to grow stronger.
However, Wu Heng felt that a Dark Snow Company shouldn't be worth making such a big fuss about.
The abilities he displayed in this revenge operation far exceeded the scope of a novice Tower Guardian; it was clearly the revenge of a seasoned Tower Guardian.
In this situation, the probability of suspecting Wu Heng is actually very small.
Just like how, even though there are 12-year-old prodigies who get into prestigious universities, if news spreads that someone from a certain place has been admitted to a prestigious university, almost no one would think of it as someone who is 12 years old.
Wu Heng's growth has already surpassed that of such child prodigies.
The forces of mortals will not investigate events caused by supernatural powers.
In terms of psionicists and Tower Guardian, both the Red Moon Federation and the entire Deep Blue Star are in a state of fragmentation.
Because the strength of the Tower Guardian changes so drastically.
Today you're the boss because you're strong, but tomorrow I might be the boss.
Although many Tower Guardian factions have formed alliances and joined forces to control large areas,
However, there is no powerful enough force to coordinate the entire federation, making the situation somewhat similar to that of the United Nations.
It was precisely because of these considerations that
Wu Heng was certain that the younger ones wouldn't be attacked, and the older ones It Comes immediately, giving him ample time to prepare before he carried out his operation.
Even in the worst-case scenario, if a big shot from the other side actually It Comes.
Wu Heng could reveal his true identity to the Shadow Tower Master, thus confirming his status Tower Guardian of the Shadow Tower under the Night Rain Association;
You can also continuously enter the story world until you become so powerful that even the "elders" of the opposing family are afraid of you.
In short, at least there is room for survival.
As Wu Heng pondered inside the cave, he noticed that as dawn broke outside, the intense sense of fear scattered throughout the Beiquan City was growing stronger.
Among them were many ordinary people who suspected arson and felt a slight fear towards Wu Heng.
The power of fear was building, and Wu Heng was waiting for the moment it would erupt.
Since he has already sent a message to those Dark Snow employees who are not in the company, saying that he will die within a day, he will definitely do it.
