Life Dungeon Game

In that instant, the man seemed to see an eagle soaring in the sky through the boy's eyes.

His sharp gaze swept across his soul like a blade.

He trembled and hurried over to meet her.

"Mr. Minister?"

He leaned closer to the boy and asked cautiously.

"Grey mouse?"

He Ao looked at the man in front of him; he had seen the man's information before.

Li Le, Rank D, codename 'Grey Rat'. This is probably not the name of his talent sequence, but the codename is fitting for his ability characteristics.

He was extremely good at hiding himself, searching for clues, and was both perceptive and cautious.

The two exchanged names, added each other as friends on the research institute's software, verified each other's identities, and quickly headed out of the airport.

"My name is Li Le," Li Le introduced himself with a smile, "You can call me Xiao..."

He glanced at He Ao's young face and paused for a moment.

“I’ll call you Brother Le,” He Ao smiled, not caring about such titles. “You can just call me He Ao.”

"this······"

Li Le was somewhat conflicted.

After all, this deputy minister held a much higher position than him, and he didn't know whether this person really looked that young or was an old monster who had mastered the art of preserving youth.

After all, anything is possible with supernatural powers in this world.

"It's alright. The identity that Director Yang arranged for me to come here this time is that of your distant nephew. If you make it too obvious, it will be easy to cause problems."

He Ao smiled and shook his head; the two had already walked out of the airport.

The area in front of Ellen Airport is a barren, empty lot filled with parked cars.

“That’s true,” Li Le nodded with a smile, “Then I’ll be sorry for the intrusion.”

He also realized that the person next to him really didn't care about these things.

Moreover, this person's background is mysterious. Although he is the deputy minister of the overseas department, he has almost never seen him in any documents or formal occasions.

If it weren't for Yang's sudden news, he wouldn't even have known that the overseas department had a third deputy minister besides Wu Lan and Ji Po.

It looks like some kind of hidden trump card.

Li Le led He Ao to his vehicle, which looked old and looked like it should have been scrapped ten years ago.

"These are the conditions here."

Li Le smiled somewhat awkwardly.

"Ah."

He Ao's gaze swept over the vehicles parked around the parking lot, then he opened the back door of Li Le's car and got in.

Watching He Ao's actions, Li Le's smile remained unchanged. He opened the driver's side door, sat in the driver's seat, and fastened his seatbelt.

At that moment, his smile faded. "Minister He, have you discovered something?"

He didn't stop what he was doing and started the vehicle as usual.

Will you take a less traveled route on your way back?

He asked softly.

"We will pass through a short mountain road. The area is not densely populated. There are only a few roads to choose from to get into the city, and they all pass through relatively remote areas."

Li Le answered slowly.

He had already started the vehicle, and with a slight tremor, the old car swayed as it pulled out of the parking space.

"Just follow the original plan."

He Ao spoke calmly, took out his phone and sent Yang De a message that he had arrived safely.

"Minister He, is this troublesome?"

Li Le gripped the steering wheel with one hand and touched the area under his seat with the other. "Should we call someone?"

"It's not too much trouble."

He Ao yawned, pulled an eye mask out of his bag, and put it on his head. "I'm going to take a nap. Just wake me up when we get to a secluded spot."

Li Le glanced at He Ao through the rearview mirror, who was leaning against the car door and seemed to have really fallen asleep.

This Minister He is truly unfathomable.

However, since this person said it wasn't too troublesome, it must just be some low-level D and E henchmen.

Although Li Le didn't know how he was exposed, as long as there was no C-level officer around, he and this He Bu could easily get away.

The old car slowly drove out of the parking lot.

At the same time, several vehicles that were originally scattered in the parking lot also started up.

Chapter 497 Chase? (Long chapter, please vote!)

The old, silver-gray vehicle drove on the bumpy road.

Li Le glanced at the boy sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

Despite the vehicle shaking violently, the boy remained motionless, leaning against the window as if fast asleep.

The Republic of Ruodan is not considered wealthy. Most of its public facilities are remnants from the Kingdom era, and the roads are only maintained occasionally. Driving on them always feels like your butt is being danced.

Of course, this is much richer than the poor countries surrounding the Tia Empire, which are constantly at war and lack even roads.

Around the airport, there is only a ring of residential areas built along the airport, with a continuous population.

After passing this residential area and crossing another mountain, you will see Ellen, the capital of the Republic of Rhodan.

The mountain, isolated from the airport and the city, is sparsely populated. The flow of people from Ellen's market and Ellen's airport cannot support the commercial development of the mountain. Only a few roads have been built here, which are only maintained once in a long while.

A cacophony of insect chirps echoed from the depths of the secluded forest.

The old vehicle gradually drove into the dark forest.

It's 2 a.m. now. The Ellen City Bus Company's buses that run directly from the airport to Ellen city center will stop running at 6 p.m.

Most people who take such late flights will choose to rest for a while near Ellen Airport.

The various hotels, nightclubs, and door-to-door services near Ellen Airport developed in this context.

When driving alone, especially late at night, Li Le likes to play heavy metal music in his car to keep himself alert.

However, a tired young man was sleeping in the back seat of his car, so he didn't dare turn on the car stereo and could only stare intently at the road ahead.

The stars and the bright moon floated above the treetops in the forest.

Bright white lights illuminated the road ahead. Li Le's muscles were tense. He held the steering wheel with one hand and placed the other hand cautiously under the seat.

The car door, which wasn't closed properly, made a thumping sound as the vehicle shook.

The age of this car does not allow it to have a 'future' product like an automatic child lock.

Passengers on the bus can open the door and jump out at any time.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Le chose this car.

Li Le did not doubt that He Ao was lying. As the deputy director of the overseas department of the research institute, He Ao had no reason to lie to him.

Those who hold high positions in overseas departments are all carefully selected strong individuals, and He Ao is clearly capable of discovering things that he has not yet discovered.

If He Ao says there's 'trouble,' then there definitely is 'trouble.'

Li Le's only thought now is that He Bu has indeed discovered all the trouble, and it is indeed a minor trouble.

If one of the people lying in ambush on him is a C-level, then even if this He Bu is a genuine C-level, he will most likely have to pay a price to leave.

He hadn't told anyone about picking up He Ao today; it was a mission only he knew about, and it was Director Yang who contacted him directly. This matter was also a secret within the research institute.

Given how mysterious He Ao is, it's unlikely he'll be exposed.

So even if there are rats following him, they are most likely only after him.

And he, a nobody of D rank, should

It's unlikely we'll encounter a C-level ambush. With He Bu by our side, we might be able to launch a counterattack.

"dumb--"

A sharp cry pierced the night sky, and Li Le instinctively pulled a black pistol from under the cushion.

The leaves rustled rapidly under the night sky, and crows flew out from under the starlight.

Watching the crows fly away, Li Le's tense nerves relaxed a little.

He was so nervous that he would overreact to the slightest disturbance.

And just as his mind settled down.

boom--

With a loud, sharp crack, the bullet, still hot from the impact, pierced the rear window, sending shards of glass flying.

He Ao.

Li Le quickly turned around.

Although Li Le kept telling himself that this was the deputy director of the overseas department, one of his direct superiors, and someone with outstanding abilities.

However, seeing He Ao's student-like clothes and youthful face, he subconsciously regarded He Ao as an ordinary student.

When he turned around.

boom--

A loud noise rang in Li Le's ears again.

It was that bullet that just pierced the window of the car through the other door.
