Ark Undead

As soon as Officer Chen and his men entered the slum, the entire slum began to erupt into chaos.

Inevitably, some guys with criminal records shrank back and ran away, fearing that Chen was there to arrest them.

But An Suo knew that Chen Da didn't need to be so flamboyant.

Chen's idea was probably to provide cover for himself and those unknown people who came to Longmen.

The more conspicuous the police are in the slums, the higher the chances that those hiding in the shadows will go undetected.

An Suo had already checked several locations, but he hadn't seen any of the documents or notes Chen had mentioned.

This seems a bit unreasonable. The previous times I came to these locations, I wasn't as anxious as I am today, but I still had a few pieces of paper with me.

Could something have really happened inside the slums?

As he thought about it, An Suo jumped off the wall and ran towards the next location.

This location was quite far from the Guard Bureau. She ran into a small alley, fumbled around on a dilapidated wall for a while, and then gently pulled out a brick from the tenth layer of stone bricks, counting from the bottom up.

He glanced inside and sure enough, there was a small piece of paper inside.

She quickly pulled the piece of paper out, put it close to her body, and then casually stuffed the brick back into the gap.

But just then, a sound seemed to come from inside the wall.

If you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of small bricks hitting the ground.

An Suo tensed up, instinctively sensing danger, and froze on the spot.

Time passed second by second, and after half a minute, there was still no sound.

There were still very few people passing through this alley.

An Suo moved his feet quietly away from the intelligence point. Only when he was several meters away from the intelligence point did An Suo start running away from that position as fast as he could.

She dared not gamble; if she were caught, the consequences would be dire, not just for herself. If it were discovered that she was an informant for the Guard Bureau, it would likely indirectly affect other Guard Bureau informants as well.

An Suo's heart was pounding in her throat. It took her a long time to calm down after she got away from the alley.

Looking back, I'm certain there was someone behind that wall, but for some reason, they didn't make a move.

"call..."

An Suo took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, and she began to realize the crux of the problem.

Why did Chen only say one thing: go back if possible, and make sure your safety is guaranteed?

She had realized that these locations might have been spotted and people were staking them out.

An Suo pressed her hand to her small chest as she put on her hat and headed to the next intelligence point.

On the other side, inside the wall, the Kingslayer and the Bonebreaker hid behind the wall and waited for about half a minute. Only when the footsteps outside the wall gradually faded away did they exchange a glance and then breathe a sigh of relief.

"They're gone. They weren't here to target us."

With one hand, Broken Bones grabbed the top of the wall, pulled himself out to look around, and made sure no one was outside.

The Kingslayer nodded, and she said.

"There must be somewhere in here where they could hide things and come to get them. I heard the scraping sound of bricks being pulled apart. But we don't need to worry about that too much. At least for now, he hasn't confirmed that it's us."

"You think it's someone from the Guard Bureau?"

Broken Bones frowned; he wanted to ensure safety and eliminate any potential threats altogether.

"If we chase after them now, it should still be in time."

"No need. Chasing after them now would only make us more exposed. Don't forget, Broken Bone, the search warrant you mentioned is already the afternoon of the next day. They'll get it no matter what."

The Kingslayer quickly stopped the Broken Bones; in her view, it was really not safe to show herself now.

"Furthermore, didn't Rhodes Island just arrive in Lungmen this morning? Some brothers have also noticed that some strange people are already in Lungmen. It's unclear whether they are from the Guard Bureau or those from Rhodes Island."

Can you recognize it?

Shattered Bones lowered the miniature grenade launcher he had raised and asked the Kingslayer.

The king killer hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

“I could recognize him, but I’m not sure if he’s there… And even if I did, what could we do? Don’t forget, our mission is to find the key, not to deal with the Rhodes Island people here.”

Broken Bones calmed down; the past few days had indeed made him somewhat sensitive. If it weren't for the Kingslayer stopping him, he probably would have chased after them by now.

"You're right."

Broken Bones nodded and reached out his hand to the Kingslayer who was still squatting on the ground.

"Get up first. Judging from the alarm just now, the Guard Bureau should have obtained the search warrant. We can start using the locations we left in the slums now."

The Kingslayer didn't say much, only offering a reminder to the Broken Bones.

"Don't make too much of a fuss. It would be good enough if we could distract the Guard Bureau. We'll figure something out after W and Frostnova arrive."

The two were still talking when the Kingslayer, who had been speaking, seemed to sense something. She immediately turned around, and a small knife flew out of her sleeve, stabbing into the corner of the house behind her.

"who!"

"Wow, I thought it would be a miracle if you could even move at all, given your condition. I never expected you to be so alert. You're truly amazing."

A woman emerged from around the corner, dressed in a gray-black combat suit, with two striking red highlights hanging down her head.

She squinted and waved at the two of them.

"What's wrong? Are you having trouble? Do you need my help?"

224. They're looking for a little girl.

"The National Guard is conducting an exercise! All citizens are requested to remain at home and keep quiet. This exercise will last for two days, and any losses incurred during this period will be borne by the government. National Guard is conducting an exercise! All citizens..."

Such sounds echoed through the streets, and the city dwellers who were still walking hurriedly, rushing home at breakneck speed.

Yes, although the Guard Bureau has issued a search warrant, the authorities are still asking the citizens of the slums to stay in their homes under the pretext of an exercise.

After all, even though we are looking for terrorists, if we really announce to everyone in a big way that we are looking for terrorists, the level of panic will escalate again.

Even though such drills could make the public feel uneasy, it was still much better than telling them directly that there were terrorists in Lungmen.

"So, this is the excuse your Guard Bureau uses when you do things?"

The doctor stood next to Chen, arms crossed, and shrugged at Chen's actions.

"Although it's not very clever, it's useful."

“You’re right. After all, there are so many people in the slums. Even if smart people know what’s going on, they’ll just go along with what we’re saying and stay in their own homes.”

Chen squinted and said.

“As long as they have no connection with the Reunion Movement, they will be in no danger whatsoever.”

Yes, this is also a method used by the Guard Bureau to prevent the Reunion Movement. As long as the people in the slums have nothing to do with the Reunion Movement, what does it matter if they stay at home? During this time, food and provisions will be delivered to all registered citizens.

Only those who are truly involved with the Reunion Movement would oppose what the Guard Bureau is doing, because they need to come out and find people.

"But are you sure this will stop the Reunion Movement?"

The doctor asked curiously, not believing that a mere exercise could make the Reunion Movement obedient.

“These guys aren’t as obedient as slum refugees.”

"I know, but isn't this a good thing?"

Chen smiled, gripped the hilt of the Crimson Sky Sword at her waist, and said.

"Once you do it, it's just an excuse. An excuse that allows us to make an arrest."

"You mean, that group of people over there?"

At this point, the professor suddenly pointed to the alley next to them.

"Are these the people who escaped from the slums, and who look like they're fully armed?"

Before Chen could react, he saw a well-trained team run out of the alley and block the way for the Guard Bureau personnel.

Chen quickly raised his hand, signaling the surrounding police officers not to make any rash moves.

She knew that the hurdle she had to face had finally arrived.

In addition to the search warrant issued by the Lungmen leadership, they also need to reach an agreement with another person.

“Inspector Chen, didn’t we agree that we were enough for the slums? What, is Wei Yanwu still so attached to this place? Hasn’t he always looked down on such poor little places?”

The girl with short pink hair in front of me is one of the Rat King's trusted confidantes, and also his daughter.

Lin Yuxia.

"Lin Yuxia, the commander only received information from an informant that there are members of the Reunion Movement lurking in the slums, trying to find something. This thing is related to the safety of Lungmen. This is a search warrant issued by Lord Wei Yanwu. You can take a look."

Chen naturally didn't want to clash with her, partly because she was the daughter of the Rat King.

But more importantly, it is Lin Yuxia's close-quarters combat ability.

Even Chen, after exchanging blows with Lin Yuxia, will not be able to easily escape. If he does not take it seriously, he could easily be defeated.

With that, Chen simply threw the search warrant in his hand over.

Lin Yuxia raised her hand and took the search warrant from Chen. She opened the warrant, glanced at it, and then exchanged a look with Chen.

Chen subtly raised an eyebrow when no one else could see, then nodded slightly.

Lin Yuxia immediately understood and pretended to be impatient.

"I don't care about any search warrant. The agreement was that Wei Yanwu would take over the Guard Bureau and the Upper City and run them well. The Rat King would maintain order in the slums, and you weren't allowed to interfere in the slums' affairs. Now you're still planning to use that as an excuse, aren't you?"

Lin Yuxia threw the search warrant back into her hand, and Chen reached out and took it.

"Are you not going to cooperate?"

Chen carefully placed the search warrant behind his waist, then reached for the hilt of his Crimson Cloud Sword.

“It is you who broke the agreement, not us. You need to get that straight.”

As she was speaking, Lin Yuxia raised her hand.

On the dusty ground, some yellow mud and sand seeped out from the cracks in the bricks, swirling and dancing in the air, and then turning into crystal clear glass in a moment.

In just a few seconds, a long knife, transformed from mud and sand into glass, was crafted by Lin Yuxia in her hands.
