Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 193, Section 024: Trap
trap.

That silly girl named Qing Yise is a pawn.

Jin Ziyue immediately left the cramped circulation system room, turned around and hid, and entered the larger generator base station next door.

……

The light gray footprints showed fluorescent marks on the ground.

A fat, big-eared man stared thoughtfully at the footprints, then finally smiled and said, "We have distinguished guests."

At that time, sirens blared throughout the entire [Danball] base.

The patrolmen looked around, some surprise in each other's eyes, but relying on their training, they still rushed towards the main hall and fired.

Jin Ziyue looked at the flashing surveillance camera above his head, flicked out the rope dart in his hand, wrapped it around the bracket, and pulled it down as if he were twisting the camera's neck.

"This way!"

They could vaguely hear the sounds of the other side tracking them.

Jin Ziyue noticed that his footprints along the way emitted a faint glow. He must have stepped on some powder when he came in wearing his protective boots, but now that his protective gear was off, they couldn't follow the footprints.

The entire base likely imprisons around a hundred members of the "Shadow Legion," and being trapped within it would undoubtedly mean a near-certain death.

"Hey, hey, you cockroach who snuck in, can you hear me?" At this moment, all the loudspeakers were playing, and a man's booming voice echoed in the quiet dungeon.

"I am Benshan, the head of the [Danball] base. You have ten seconds to lay down your weapons and surrender immediately, or you'll suffer a fate worse than death and don't come begging to me."

The chaotic footsteps rose and fell, clearly indicating that the entire base was under martial law. All surveillance cameras were turned on, infrared and thermal imaging detectors were used to prevent stealth, and flashing red lights indicated the urgency of the situation.

"You bedbug, you've got a path to heaven but you refuse to take it, so you've chosen the path to hell. Since you're so stubborn, let the little ones out here have a go!"

ka ka ka-

That was the sound of an electronic gate opening. Countless Others poured out of the room. They were mindless, like a black tide, converging in waves. Some climbed the ceiling, some roamed the walls, moving at high speed with their limbs close to the walls like geckos. The ferocious tide of Others rushed toward the direction where Jin Ziyue was hiding.

Jin Ziyue held a pomegranate-sized projectile in his hand, pulled back the ring, silently counted down the seconds, and threw it into the crowd behind him, while constantly shifting his head position.

"boom--"

Flames filled the sky, and fire sirens wailed.

The enemy has too many people; if there is any pause, they will be completely overwhelmed by sheer numbers.

He climbed onto the giant booster generator, the ground beneath his feet humming and vibrating.

The beasts that found him were wreathed in flames, clusters upon clusters, oblivious and unaware, like fireworks gathered together.

Several creatures possessing the [River-Riding Tiger] ability had already begun climbing, taking advantage of their physical strength, while the White Walkers hanging upside down from the ceiling scurried over like amphibious giant lizards.

Jin Ziyue drew the short blade from beside his boot and swung it in mid-air. At the same time, the rope dart he launched with his right hand had already firmly hooked onto the equipment next door. With a quick pull of the rope, he was hoisted from mid-air and pulled to the other side.

The monsters underground erupted in commotion, and countless sword-wielding warriors charged forward. They were clad in black night clothes, obscuring their faces, leaving only two reddish-brown eyes that preyed on those they encountered.

"Roar!"

Along with the fierce glint in his eyes, a blade flashed as bright as snow.

[Showing off one's talents!] [Showing off one's talents!] [Showing off one's talents!]
Jin Ziyue became slightly more cautious. The strange decree carried a probability of instant kill. However, how to trigger it, and what the effect would be, remained to be verified.

Three agile figures leaped into the air, three long swords held on their arms, swirling and circling, slashing through the wind!

……

Fu Xun silently closed the communication, his expression somewhat solemn.

That guy won't just die there so easily, will he?
"Search of Liuye Sanchō is complete, no abnormalities found." A guy wearing a helmet next to Fu Xun reported into the walkie-talkie.

The moonlight was cold and clear on the street at this time. Only the secret search team was on the road, and other passers-by had already been separated by warning tape.

He was surrounded by about thirty White Walkers, and he was fully armed, wearing a black bulletproof vest and a riot helmet, having blended into the radical faction's search team.

The two originally intended to stall for time until the neurotoxin took effect, then silently guide the team to destroy the "bullet." However, it now appears that Jin Ziyue is already in deep trouble, so they need to flexibly change their plans.

"rustle."

The walkie-talkie was activated, and a woman's voice came from the other end: "Received, please continue the search."

Fu Xun, with his sharp ears, overheard the conversation and deliberately walked to the manhole cover, shouting loudly, "Report! There's something going on here!"

Hearing the commotion, the others rushed over immediately.

By using a flashlight to probe through the pried-open manhole cover, a hidden staircase can be seen. This is a trace that Jin Ziyue and Fu Xun had found beforehand.

"This is..." The team leader's face lit up with joy, "Report! We've found a possible entrance!"

Chizuru Fujiwara on the other end of the walkie-talkie was also excited and said, "Okay, we'll head over right away."

All the armed White Walkers, guns in hand and tactical daggers pressed against their thighs, crawled one by one into the manhole covers of the sewers.

"The remaining reinforcements are on their way!" The radicals were also reporting the battle situation to the leadership in a timely manner. Upon receiving a positive reply, everyone's spirits lifted, and they were determined to find and execute the smearers.

……

"clang--"

Jin Ziyue's dagger and the opponent's longsword clashed and moved immediately, without lingering. If the swing of the sword triggered an effect similar to infinite sharpness, he would likely suffer a great loss.

The generator was smashed into a deep crater by the frenzied hammers underground. These guys with the [Fenghe Baohu] technique continuously strengthen their muscle groups during the fight, eventually growing to a height of about two meters. Their brute force is even capable of smashing and cracking some metal pipes.

Even setting aside the fact that these guys have triggered the hidden effects, it would be difficult to deal with just this large number of White Walkers.

Jin Ziyue had to turn around to block almost every two or three steps, dodging left and right to avoid the savage tigers. Only when he caught them in a moment of aggression could he plunge his dagger into the neck of the Otherworlder.

Occasionally, one might manage to slip into a passageway on the side of the wall, only to be met with a relentless charge of White Walkers. The White Walkers above one's head clung to it like geckos, as if in a demonic lair, a grand celebration of demons.

"The bedbugs are pretty quick. Don't die too easily, or there'll be a big surprise waiting for you."

The voice of a broadcast came over the loudspeaker; it seemed the other party had been monitoring Jin Ziyue's movements.

Ben Shan put down the microphone and looked at the capability response device on the radar. It was this thing that detected Jin Ziyue's whereabouts when he first used his command.

Countless white dots on the map are chasing a red dot the size of a pea. The red dot moves rapidly, but unlike the hundreds of dots, it does not ostentatiously spread its fluctuations.

"He still won't use his abilities." Ben Shan frowned slightly, indicating that the kid was still holding back.

"Hmph, no matter how much strength you're holding back, the real killer is already on his way, and your life will surely end in this [bullet]."
