Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 565 The Beginning of the Escape
Gis focused his attention, searching for the source of the mental fluctuations he had just detected.

He planned to eliminate the man as quickly as possible and then immediately move to a different location.

The other party must have reported to the countermeasures bureau as soon as they discovered them.

Geese killed people before leaving to prevent his whereabouts from being seen.

This was also intended to disrupt the direction of the Countermeasures Bureau's investigation.

As long as he keeps the power he uses below that of the fusion warriors, the countermeasures bureau will most likely not send high-level combat forces, which will reduce a lot of pressure.

Gis flew into the air.

This is not for the purpose of gaining a higher vantage point and a broader perspective.

Sometimes, standing at a higher vantage point in the mountains can actually provide a less direct view than standing on the ground.

He came up into the air to get a clearer sense of the direction of atmospheric flow.

Invisibility may deceive others visually, but it cannot hide from the most direct physical contact.

Gis smiled smugly: "Let me see where you're hiding..."

With a single clench of his fist, Gis caused a sudden gust of wind to sweep across the entire mountain range.

Each stream of air was like a paintbrush, sketching a 3D model of the area in Gis's mind.

Before long, he knew exactly how many trees were under his feet and how tall each one was.

Just as Geese was about to expand the search area further, an unusual disturbance in the airflow behind him made his heart skip a beat.

Before Geese could turn around and retaliate, a hand was placed on his shoulder.

In an instant, the raging mountain wind subsided, as if a mental patient had been injected with a powerful sedative.

Giss was horrified to discover that he had completely lost control of his body.

The strange phenomenon affecting their limbs and body caused them to become completely immobile, and even their consciousness began to dissipate.

"You're Storm Geese?"

A distinctly feigned, neutral voice came from behind.

Geese loathed the curse that controlled his life and freedom, but now he had no choice but to use the power of the curse to wage a tug-of-war with the other party in his mind.

He relied on the curse binding him to fight back with all his might against the spiritual force that wanted to obliterate his consciousness.

The person behind him wasn't in a hurry.

He took the phone from Giss and, right in front of Giss, easily found Lydia's number.

Gis was already struggling to maintain his consciousness, so he had no time to care about anything else and could only watch helplessly as the other person looked through his phone.

The other party then pulled up Lydia's number and dialed it.

After the call connected, Giss wanted to say something to remind the other person, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Don't get me wrong, Geese isn't concerned about the success or failure of the mission.

He just wanted to use Lydia's words to get the Sea Heart Society to come and help him out.

As a fusion warrior, he deserves to negotiate with the Countermeasures Bureau.

As for the mission?

If I fall into the hands of the Countermeasures Bureau, I'm afraid I won't even be able to save my life, so what's the point of caring about any damn mission?

"Lydia J?"

Giss's eyes widened.

Because the words he just said weren't actually his; it was someone behind him imitating his voice.

At this moment, Gis was cursing the Haixin Society's intelligence department to the bone in his mind.

It's obvious that the other party knows about Lydia's existence.

This means that the plan was very likely leaked from the very beginning, and that someone was already waiting for them to come to them.

"I have arrived at Broken Boundary Mountain... How are the preparations going on your side?"

"DX818A is under close surveillance and can be contained at any time. Lieutenant Chuck Battier is also here. Do you need anything...?"

"There's no time to lose. Let's get started as quickly as possible. I already know your current location, and I'll come directly to meet you there."

The person behind him quickly issued a series of instructions, then hung up the phone and crushed it to pieces.

Giss wanted to say something more, but his consciousness had become so scattered that he could no longer form any concrete thoughts.

In his final moments before losing consciousness, Giss vaguely heard a sigh from the person behind him.

"Should we take the DX818A back with us...?"

At this point, Giss's consciousness completely slipped into a coma.

........................

"Have you dealt with the surveillance personnel on your end?"

Zhu Lan, who was hiding in the underground parking lot, asked the question on the other end of the phone.

"I used to be a reconnaissance soldier, so I don't need to worry. I managed to knock someone out at noon today."

I took some time these past two days to find out about their company and figure out how they report their whereabouts to their employers.

As long as we send Lydia and the others the prepared emails regularly, they won't suspect anything.

Zhu Lan was silent for a moment, then complained, "...This behavior is too risky. If we are discovered, our operation will be exposed immediately."

"Don't worry, if I'm discovered, I'll definitely draw all the fire for you and won't implicate you... Are you ready on your end?" Dewey asked in return.

Zhu Lan used her senses to confirm Ye Qing's location: "I'm ready to leave at any time. I'll head towards Shuimu City, then abandon the car and use a fake identity to board a plane there and fly to Winter City."

Dewey then added, "I'll get off in Nevada, take a ferry to Ferry Terminal, and then take another cruise to Japan."

The two confirmed each other's approximate whereabouts so they could stay in touch once they settled down.

During the conversation, Ye Qing appeared in the underground parking lot.

Seeing this, Zhu Lan gave Du Wei a word of advice, then hung up the phone and flashed her phone.

Ye Qing, carrying a travel bag, immediately walked towards the car.

After Ye Qing got into the car, Zhu Lan asked, "Is everything settled?"

Ye Qing took off her backpack, held it in front of her, and lowered her head, saying, "Mm."

Zhu Lan didn't say much and silently started the car.

After all, now is not the time to comfort people; they must leave Qianhua City immediately.

Otherwise, once Lydia and the others realize what's happening, it won't be so easy for them to leave.

Zhu Lan understood Ye Qing's feelings, because ever since they escaped to Asia Union and dispersed, they had never encountered any harassment from the Hai Xin Society.

Zhu Lan had also thought about finding a boyfriend and settling down in Qianhua City for a long time.

Another researcher, Bloom, is even married.

But life is unpredictable. No one expected that before the Haixin Society could find them, a traitor would appear within their own ranks.

"Sister Lan."

After a long silence, Ye Qing spoke.

Zhu Lan kept a straight face and looked straight ahead, saying, "Just say what you want to say."

"Are we going to keep running away like this in the future?"

Ye Qing shifted her gaze from the rearview mirror to Zhu Lan, who was driving: "Isn't there any way to live a peaceful life?"

"From the moment we defected from the Haixin Society and dealt with our pursuers, our future was already sealed."

Zhu Lan's eyes dimmed slightly: "Without the strength to resist the Haixin Society, there's nothing we can do but flee."

"Is there really no other way?" Ye Qing continued to press.

"……No."
