1832 The Pursuit
Outside the cave at the periphery of the City of Darkness.
Two hours ago, the Federation confirmed that Gu Qingzhu’s aura had disappeared from the City of Darkness.
The Federation requested for immediate action.
It only took less than an hour for the Federation to seal off the periphery of the City of Darkness.
Gu Qingzhu was the biggest target of the Federation’s mission this time.
They definitely couldn’t let her go!
Kleinman had heard of the game rift in the City of Darkness.
The Central Federation had too many troublesome matters to deal with. They could not always deploy manpower to guard the rift, nor could they think of a way to permanently resolve the rift.
Every time the city was completely cleaned up, there would be a lack of follow-up effective control, and it would soon rise again.
Aside from the Central Inspection Bureau, the Federation’s military was also involved in this operation.
The higher-ups had already issued orders. In addition to capturing Gu Qingzhu, the entire City of Darkness was to be thoroughly cleaned up.
In the conference room, the commander of the Federation’s military, Zhou Chen, looked around at everyone.
“The inside of the City of Darkness is filled with a black fog that blocks perception. This will greatly affect our operations. We will slow down and gradually enter the City of Darkness to investigate to prevent the target from escaping in the chaos.”
“Minister Zhou, you’re thoughtful. The military will be in charge of the battle. The Inspection Bureau will provide information on Gu Qingzhu’s location. We’ll give you feedback as soon as we have any information. If you need anything else, we’ll cooperate.”
Kleinman nodded and said, “Our investigation team will also provide all kinds of information and cooperate with the military.”
“Thank you.”
Soon, Kleinman heard the sounds of fight coming from outside the temporary camp.
The players inside the City of Darkness had noticed that something was wrong and were trying to break through the various secret passages.
The few small gangs that controlled the City of Darkness were no match for the Federation’s military. Soon, the sounds of fighting gradually stopped, and the first batch of players who tried to escape were arrested without exception.
At the same time, in the City of Darkness, Fang Heng hurried back to the medical center.
Gu Qingzhu’s self-recovery ability was not bad. After resting for a while, the external injuries on her body had mostly recovered. With Fana’s help, she changed into a set of clean clothes.
“How’s the situation?”
“She’s still unconscious. There seems to be trouble outside?”
Fang Heng nodded and said, “It’s the Federation. They’re here.”
Fana frowned and looked at Fang Heng, saying, “They should be looking for us. What shall we do? Think of a way to leave?”
Fang Heng shook his head.
Not good.
The Federation’s goal was to capture Gu Qingzhu. With their usual style, they would most likely set up heavy guards at the exits outside the City of Darkness.
Escaping in a rush was just walking into a trap.
Secondly, the Federation followed the mark on their bodies. If they stayed in the City of Darkness, they could still use the strange black fog inside the City of Darkness to track them.
Once they left the City of Darkness, they would lose the protection of the black fog.
Even if they could break through the periphery, they would still be pursued by the Federation.
Instead of running, it was better to think of a way to hide.
Soon, the medical center became chaotic and noisy.
The situation looked worse.
“Dong dong…”
There was a knock on the door.
Xiaoqi shouted from outside the door, “Bosses! Is it convenient for me to come in?”
Fana opened the door.
“Mr. Fang.”
On the way back, Xiaoqi and Fang Heng separated temporarily and went to find out what was happening outside.
At this time, he had received first-hand information and rushed back to report.
“How’s the situation outside?”
“I’ve just checked. It’s very bad. The people of the Federation have obstructed all the entrances and exits outside our city. It looks like they’re going to clear our city completely. I’ll take both of you and evacuate through the emergency exit first.”
“Can we leave?”
Xiaoqi nodded repeatedly and said, “We’ve been making a living in the City of Darkness, so we know a few hidden entrances and exits. We can take advantage of the chaos and escape through the small exits. Hurry up, or it’ll be too late.”
“No, we’re not leaving.”
Fang Heng shook his head and refused. He asked, “You’re very familiar with the City of Darkness. Do you know where we can conceal here?”
Hide?
Xiaoqi’s face showed doubt when he heard that.
If there was a chance to run, why not?
What did he mean by hiding?
“Bosses, it’s very dangerous to stay here…”
Fana interrupted coldly, “There is, or not? Answer my question.”
Xiaoqi shuddered.
“Yes, yes. Uncle Liu built an emergency safety zone in the middle of the secret passage for safety. We can conceal there but it’s still too dangerous. Once the safety zone is discovered, we won’t be able to escape.”
“Take us there first.”
“This…” Xiaoqi saw that Fang Heng and Fana were determined. He nodded helplessly and said, “Alright, bosses, follow me.”
Fang Heng carried the unconscious Gu Qingzhu on his back and left the room with them.
Most of the people in the hall of the medical center had already left, and it looked like a mess.
When the news of the Federation besieging the outside of the City of Darkness reached the city, the entire city was in chaos.
Different from the previous main passage, this time Xiaoqi brought Fang Heng and the others to a dark river in the west of the city.
“Bosses, please wait here for a moment. I’ll go and sail the boat.”
Xiaoqi said and jumped into the river.
Soon, Xiaoqi poked his head out of the lake and swam towards the wooden pier, pulling out the wooden boat hidden below.
“Boss, hurry up and get on the boat. The passage is just…”
As Xiaoqi spoke, he noticed Fang Heng and the others’ gazes and couldn’t help but look behind him.
On the surface of the lake, more than ten small boats were rapidly rowing towards them.
Xiaoqi saw the figure standing on the leading wooden boat. His eyes lit up. He waved and shouted, “Uncle Liang!”
Uncle Liang’s expression was a little ugly.
When the ship approached, he said to Fang Heng and the others, “There’s no need to board the ship. Go back. The Federation is serious this time. All the exits outside have been sealed. Going there would only be sending yourself to death.”
Xiaoqi became even more nervous when he heard that, “Ah, this… This…”
The middle-aged man behind Uncle Liang said, “What bad luck. We were just thinking of taking you guys away. We didn’t expect to meet the people from the Federation’s military. In the end, we were almost killed.”
While everyone was getting off the boat, Uncle Liang said, “The people who came this time are all from the Federation’s military. They’re too strong, and they’re very cautious. They didn’t chase us when they met us. They searched carefully along the way. The few temporary safety points we set up definitely can’t escape their eyes.”
Fang Heng and Fana exchanged glances.
Even the Federation’s military was mobilized.
The last trace of hope was dispelled.
There was no doubt that the Federation was here to find them.
