Chapter 737 The big fish is hooked!
"Yes, Master, Giant Eyes will definitely complete the task!"
Thinking of Qin Zhong's promise, the giant eyes of the zombie flashed a red light mixed with excitement and desire at the thought of being able to kill at will.
It firmly believed that Qin Chong would not go back on his word. After all, it was also his battle pet. If it became stronger, it would be a help to him.
"Okay, remember this, you are not allowed to kill anyone!"
Qin Dian nodded, and after instructing Xiao V and Ju Mou again, he hurried back to Song City and led the team out, while Xiao V and Ju Mou followed the team secretly.
In this way, if Xiao Li and others try to leave secretly, Qin Zhong doesn't have to worry.
Moreover, he secretly told Xiao Yingyong, Pan Hongwei, Yang Han, Meng Tong and others that if they found that Xiao Li and others had left the team, they should ignore them.
Although Pan Hongwei and others didn't quite understand, they still agreed.
The night is quiet and silent.
Under the bright light of the moon, after half a day's march, the team arrived at a deserted town dozens of kilometers away from Songcheng. After the soldiers cleaned up, everyone moved into the assigned residence in a small building.
As the night deepened, Qin Zhong and the others had already fallen into a deep sleep. In the entire team, except for the soldiers patrolling around the town, only Xiao Li and a few others had not yet fallen asleep.
"Captain Xiao, they all seem to be asleep."
After the skinny monkey went out to investigate, he returned to the room and whispered to Xiao Li, "It's very quiet outside, everyone is asleep. I just went out to check around, and even the night watchmen were dozing with their eyes half closed."
"OK, now that they're asleep, it's time for us to get moving."
Xiao Li pursed his lips and said in a hoarse voice, "Since we have left Song City, we must retrieve the hidden essence tonight. Otherwise, it will be extremely difficult to return after leaving this place. Moreover, if we leave Qin Zhong's protection, I am afraid we will be killed by zombies or mutant beasts before we reach our destination."
"I asked during the day. It takes about two hours to drive from here to where we hide the essence."
Langya paused at this point and said hesitantly, "Captain Xiao, we are seriously injured now. It would be very dangerous to risk our lives to retrieve the essence. Why don't we ask Qin Zhong to help us? He has helped us many times and is trustworthy!"
Xiao Li shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't trust him. He hasn't done anything wrong to us along the way. On the contrary, he has helped us escape certain death several times. I trust him!"
At this point, Xiao Li sighed softly and said softly, "But we must be cautious. He is the leader of an organization after all, and his mind is unpredictable. If we let him go with us to obtain the essence of the meteorite, it is very likely that the one who will get the essence in the end will not be us, but his Tiangang Organization."
"Absolutely not! To obtain these meteorite essences, our Kyoto base and the Eagle Special Forces have sacrificed countless people. We have already lost three portions. How can we willingly hand over the remaining three portions to Qin Zhong's Tiangang Organization?"
Hearing Xiao Li's words, the monkey's slender eyes narrowed slightly.
Since ancient times, any political regime has had factions, so when Xiao Li said this, Monkey and Langya immediately understood.
These six meteorite essences were obtained at the cost of countless lives by the Kyoto Base and the Eagle Special Forces. Three have been lost. How could they willingly hand over the remaining three to Qin Zhong's Tiangang Organization?
In fact, not only Xiao Li understood this principle, but Qin Zhong was even more clear about it, which was why he insisted on letting Ju Mou go to grab it. If he could take it himself, it would not be impossible, but that would require killing Xiao Li and the others.
This goes against his bottom line in life and is something Qin Zhong cannot tolerate.
……
"Okay, we have to act tonight, get ready!"
Following Xiao Li's order, the three began to check their equipment, placing their rifles, pistols, and daggers in their proper places. Once ready, they waited for Xiao Li's order to depart.
Xiao Li glanced at Monkey and Langya, confirming that they were both ready.
He took a deep breath and lowered his voice, saying, "We must be cautious in this operation. We have limited time, so we must act quickly."
Monkey nodded, a fierce look flashing in his eyes. Langya clenched his weapon tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force. The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, as if even the air had stopped flowing.
The three of them quietly opened the door and walked out of their residence on the first floor. Seeing the soldiers patrolling outside, the three of them hid in the dark and waited for the opportunity.
Just as a dark cloud passed by, covering the bright moon and the sky suddenly became dark, Xiao Li suddenly shouted, "Let's go!" As soon as the words fell, the three of them ran towards the bushes not far away as fast as lightning.
"Shhhhh!"
With the slight sound of the bushes shaking, the three people disappeared into the bushes in an instant, and their figures illuminated by the torches disappeared.
After the three people disappeared, in a room on the third floor of their residence, Qin Chong, Xiao Yingyong, Pan Hongwei and others stood in the darkness of the window.
Qin Zhong couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw the three people quietly leaving the residence without alerting the guards.
Great, big fish, it’s hooked!
After Xiao Li and the other two left the town, they quickly ran away, but they did not notice that there were two figures following them from a distance.
"Tsk tsk, these people have really good anti-tracking capabilities. If I didn't have infrared vision and knew how they were hiding, I'm afraid I would have been thrown off."
Following Xiao Li and the others from a distance, a strange red light appeared in the pupils of its huge eyes. This was one of its special abilities - infrared vision.
Like many higher predators, the night is not a problem for the giant eye, but rather an excellent opportunity for hunting.
Under its infrared vision, Xiao Li and the other two, whose body temperatures were over 30 degrees Celsius, were like torches in the dark, with nowhere to hide in the pitch-black night.
In this way, no matter how strong Xiao Li and others' anti-tracking skills are, it will be difficult for them to escape its surveillance.
Just like that, after leaving the town, Xiao Li and the other two found an abandoned car. After starting the car, the three got in and drove quickly towards the distance.
Little V and Ju Mou followed closely behind, because the distance was far enough that they didn't have to worry about being discovered.
After more than two hours' drive, the three drove to the outskirts of a county town and parked the car. Then they sneaked into the county town again and avoided the zombies and mutant beasts with their professional and magical covert movements.
After a narrow escape, we arrived at the edge of the county town, in an alley at the junction of urban and rural areas, in front of a small house.
This house is very old, built probably 20 or 30 years ago. The gate is completely broken, and two blood-stained spring couplets are pasted on the left and right door frames.
The bloodstains have dried up, and it seems that the owner inside must have died a long time ago, and this place must have been abandoned for a long time.
"It's right here. In order to avoid being hunted by that anthropomorphic zombie, I hid the essence of the meteorite in the closet of this house."
Looking at the pitch-black room, Xiao Li looked around and finally nodded in confirmation. He gestured to Monkey and Langya to follow him and strode into the room.
