Seeing that all the victims had been saved, Lu Baizhi felt relieved.

Of course, her tense nerves didn't relax, after all, she was about to face a battle with the players.

Lu Baizhi manipulated the repulsive force to change direction, lifting herself and Fan Xiaofei back to where they had been standing.

After landing, Fan Xiao looked up at the direction of the factory's exit.

Within sight, the group of players they had sensed arriving earlier had already entered the factory.

There were 20 people in total, led by a fierce-looking bald man with a very burly build.

To the right of the bald man were a handsome young man and a mature woman dressed as a secretary, with the rest of the people following behind them.

The four frivolous men who were present earlier had already slipped into a nearby building, avoiding a direct confrontation with these people.

At that moment, the bald man and the handsome young man were looking in the direction from which the explosion came, one with a grim expression and the other with a furrowed brow.

"Something seems to have gone wrong on their end?" the bald man, Brother Biao, said. "I reckon Fan Xiao took the bait, but with such a commotion... could they have failed?"

"Hmph, a bunch of useless trash! They can't even handle this simple task."

The handsome young man frowned and cursed.

“Let’s put things at the factory for now,” Brother Biao suggested. “The most important thing is to catch Fan Xiao. Let’s go check out the East District.”

"Don't rush yet."

The young man stopped Biao Ge from getting impatient and took out his phone to make a call.

Once the call was connected, he quickly asked, "What happened?"

"People suspected to be from the Special Affairs Bureau rescued Song Qingshan and the other two. The group of foreigners are in pursuit, heading towards... the factory! They seem to be heading towards the factory."

"Special Affairs Bureau...how could they be so fast..."

The young man frowned even more deeply.

The situation developed in a way that was somewhat unexpected and disrupted his plans.

Although the traps in the East District were designed specifically to counter Fan Xiao's abilities, and their effectiveness would be somewhat reduced against other players, judging from the confident demeanor of those foreigners, the traps shouldn't be so easily breached...

Unless, the player sent by the Special Affairs Bureau is very strong!

It's highly likely that they've sent out their top-tier players.

"At this critical moment when the country is creating a safe zone, and manpower is so scarce, yet they still dare to send experts here... It seems that the Special Affairs Bureau values ​​Fan Xiao even more than I expected. Could it be that Fan Xiao... has some secret that I don't know about?"

A guess formed in the young man's mind.

Fortunately, the group sent by the Special Affairs Bureau was fleeing towards the factory.

Although we don't know why they chose this route, the thing we have to do hasn't changed—keep them here!

"That saves us the trouble of going to the East District to investigate the situation."

Thinking of this, the young man said to Brother Biao, "You heard the phone call just now. Tell your men to prepare for battle and keep the Special Affairs Bureau personnel and Song Qingshan here. Also..."

His gaze suddenly fell on a certain building: "Get rid of the extra rats first."

“I would have done it even without you telling me,” Brother Biao sneered. “You’ve got some nerve, daring to break into my territory and kill my men!”

From their current position, they can see directly the entrance to the detention area.

Brother Biao knew that there were always three people guarding the entrance.

But the entrance was empty at the moment... It's highly likely that an outsider sneaked in as a "victim" and then killed his people.

This isn't the first time this has happened; we just don't know what's going on inside the detention area.

"You guys go over there and help the people inside find and kill the rats that have broken in."

Brother Biao gave orders to the people on his left behind him.

Immediately, five players approached the building that the handsome young man had pointed out.

With players also stationed inside the factory, and with the help of those rushing over, taking down the rats that have infiltrated should be a piece of cake.

If the rats were very strong, they wouldn't need to sneak around and carry out infiltration operations.

On the other side, not far from Brother Biao and the young man, Fan Xiao and Lu Baizhi were hiding behind an illusion that concealed their figures, observing the group of players who had gathered together.

Lu Baizhi asked Fan Xiao, "Should we make a move?"

She was ready to activate her talent and create a "damage field".

Meanwhile, the poison-releasing equipment was also prepared.

"Wait a little longer, not everyone has arrived yet," Fan Xiao said. "Don't make a move this time, I'll handle it alone."

"Um... Fan Xiao, don't worry about me. I'm very strong now and can be a great help."

Lu Baizhi patted her full chest and assured her.

“It’s not a matter of strength,” Fan Xiao explained. “Establishing authority is one of my goals, and the effect is best when I act alone.”

“I understand, I’ve established my authority.”

Lu Baizhi quickly understood.

They definitely didn't come here simply to rescue people.

Establishing authority... Could Fan Xiao have been planning this all along?

Could it be that he deliberately revealed some of his value beforehand, casting out the bait and waiting for this moment to arrive?

How awful!

But... isn't the enemy a bit too weak?

Lu Baizhi looked in the direction of the bald man and the handsome young man, her feelings somewhat complicated.

The bald man had a fierce look on his face, as if he were fearless; the young man, on the other hand, had a contemptuous look in his eyes and an arrogant expression on his face.

But... she and Fan Xiao were standing right under the noses of this group of people, yet no one noticed their presence. This ignorance didn't seem like an act.

In other words, these people couldn't even see through Fan Xiao's illusions.

And this guy... dares to scheme behind people's backs?

That's way too confident!

They didn't even do a good job with intelligence gathering!

Lu Baizhi felt a strong urge to complain.

At this moment, the female secretary next to the handsome young man suddenly spoke up, "We will still be dealing with the Special Affairs Bureau in the future. If the people from the Special Affairs Bureau see you here, it will have a bad impact on the future. Um... would you like to leave for a moment?"

"Don't make decisions for me without my consent. I know exactly what to do."

The young man said indifferently.

“…I’m sorry,” the female secretary quickly said, “I was just worried…”

“There’s no need for unnecessary worry,” the young man said. “Things have changed, and the plan has been temporarily revised. In addition to Fan Xiao, we need to include the Special Affairs Bureau personnel on the list of those to be captured and controlled.”

"I understand." The female secretary nodded.

"Hmph, with me here, none of them will escape."

The young man gave a light snort.

Lu Baizhi overheard their conversation.

The girl tugged at Fan Xiao's sleeve, her eyes subtly revealing her thoughts, and said, "Fan Xiao, that person said he wanted to capture and control you. Do you think... he might have some kind of mind-control device?"

“Maybe,” Fan Xiao said. “He seems quite confident.”

"Confident? I think... he's more like a comedic character." Lu Baizhi complained, "I was a little worried at first, but with the enemy at this level... I feel like I was worrying for nothing."

“Caution is a player’s virtue,” Fan Xiao laughed. “Never let your guard down until the very last moment.”

A loud crash—the sound of the wall shattering suddenly rang out.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that on the first floor of a building not far away, a wall had been smashed from the inside, forming a large hole. Four figures quickly fled out of the hole in a disheveled state.

It was the four frivolous men.

They all had wounds, large or small, on their bodies, clearly indicating that they had just finished a battle.

Judging from their gloomy expressions and eyes, they were at a disadvantage.

Soon, more people emerged from the large hole and surrounded the four frivolous men.

Pursuers were behind them, and ahead... The frivolous man looked ahead and saw the burly Brother Biao grinning at them: "Oh, four rats, four props, wouldn't you call that a pleasant surprise?"

"Hurry up and pack, don't delay the important business."

"It's a handsome young man," the command was given.

Not far away, the four frivolous men looked quite grim.

"Captain, what do we do now?" the frivolous man asked in his mind.

"I'll clear the way! You guys try to climb over the wall on the left and break out."

Captain Qi reminded him, "Don't hesitate at this point, just listen to me!"

"With so many players, we're probably doomed." The college student said frantically, "What went wrong? Did we stir up a hornet's nest? How did so many players suddenly appear and surround us?"

No one answered his question.

Only a few dozen pairs of malicious eyes were fixed on them.

However, just as everyone was about to make a move, a sound of something cutting through the air suddenly came from afar and grew closer.

Everyone looked up and saw a rather futuristic creation.

Those were five small aircraft spewing blue flames and flying at extremely high speeds... or rather, they were five flying skateboards.

At this moment, five skateboards are carrying eight people, four of whom are acquaintances of Fan Xiao—Mercury, Luo Hao, Du Ruo, and his younger brother Song Qingshan.

The eight people flew over the factory and stopped. When they saw the large crowd gathered below, they all looked surprised.

"Those people... seem to be players?" Mercury said. "The situation is a bit unexpected. Should we go down?"

"Based on the existing intelligence analysis, there is a greater than 70% chance that Fan Xiao is in the factory."

The orca leader said in a calm voice, "Our mission isn't complete until we find him. And... we can't leave for now."

With that, he raised his hand and threw a dagger.

With a "whoosh," the dagger flew forward at an extremely fast speed, then hit a transparent film and bounced back.

"A trap?" Du Ruo frowned. "How come there are traps here too? Did they calculate our escape route?"

The orca replied, "It was probably just a coincidence, not a deliberate attack."

At that moment, the roar of propellers sounded from behind.

Four helicopters flew rapidly from the east direction and soon approached the factory area.

Mercury and the others looked back and saw, in one of the helicopters, the brown-haired white man they had fought earlier and the brown-haired woman wearing a witch's hat.

They've been caught!

By a series of coincidences, all the forces involved converged in one place.

The atmosphere was tense.

At this moment, on the ground.

Once everyone had arrived, Fan Xiao gave Lu Baizhi a look, signaling her to proceed according to plan.

Then his gaze fell on a spot a dozen meters away.

As he gazed at it, "Illusory Van Shaw" suddenly appeared where his line of sight had fallen.

"It's so lively."

A sigh came from "Illusion Fan Xiao," immediately drawing the attention of everyone present.

Chapter 334 The Strongest Man, The Strongest Man! The Whole Audience Cheers!

Upon seeing Fan Xiao appear, the first to react were Du Ruo and the others who were standing on the flight platform.

Du Ruo reacted the fastest, maneuvering the pedals to dive straight to the ground while shouting words like "Yoshi," seemingly in high spirits.
