Chapter 51: Snake Venom

Chapter 51

(Unedited)

Following a fast-moving car while moving through the darkness and jumping from the roof of tall buildings, is not my kind of thing. But I would say that this kind of experience is making me feel a bit excited.

It's like one of those movies I have seen before where the hero would jump from one building to another just to chase after an evil man's car.

And right now, I am going to treat that person that I am following as the evil man.

The only difference between me and in the movies is that I will not try to stop the bad guy. Instead, I will use him to lead me to their base.

And so I began to run as fast as I could while also checking the ruins in the area.

I soon found out that the closer I get to the center of the city, the more lookout points I have noticed. Luckily my speed is fast enough to be able to dodge the sight of those people.

I did not hear them reporting something so, I think they have not seen me. At this time, I truly wanted to act and at least take down some of the sentries. This is because; the people in these buildings are beasts. I could hear evil laughter from these people as they toy on human lives.

Men beg for mercy to be kept alive, women beg not to be violated, and even children's cries could be heard.

I wanted to stop and then help them. However, I have a far more important mission, and that is to follow that bastard to the real base of my enemy.

Suddenly, as I pass by a large truck and a long line of trucks coming towards an entrance of a base, I pick up some people talking.

And their conversation made my heart jump in anxiety.

"Hey, are you guys hunting tonight in the outer parts of the city?"

"Yeah, we are going to get four beauties that were seen in the outer part of the city. Some of the mercenary groups fell in their hands and they now requested aid from the Hunters. So we are going to go to that place…"

"Dang it… you guys are really lucky."

"Hahaha… I heard those girls are strong, but they would not stand against us… I will enjoy my fill of beauties tonight! Hehehe…"

"Hey, there are four of them… I will get the prettiest, and then you can share the rest… Hahaha…"

The sound of lewd laughter and lecherous comments from the people in that truck made me really angry and worried at the same time. I knew that I have to change my plan for a bit tonight.

I look at the disappearing car and then remember the base that he enters.

Since I already knew where to find it, I will not have a hard time next time. I have to take care of those four women first. They might not be related to me, but for the time that we were together, I already considered them as my older sisters.

So how could I let them suffer in the hands of the enemy? I silently followed the truck towards the city as it traverses down the road.

As I followed them, I noticed that the truck is going through the building where I had an encounter with the woman.

"Stop! Look! This is the group of Tan Failee, right?" one of the Hunters inside the truck said as he looks at the parked truck on the side of the road.

They slowly got off the truck and then checked it. Everyone was a bit stunned upon seeing the bloody scene in front of them.

"Damn it! Everyone get ready… there is a dangerous person in this part… wear thermal!" the man shouted as he put on his helmet.

While looking at them, I could not help but grit my teeth. I did not expect that these people would be this vigilant.

I quickly darted towards the building where I left Xiao Rin.

I found her still lying in the bathtub, when I enter the room, she was even startled.

"It's me… We have to go now…" I said before she could complain.

"I have to carry you… big sister Xiao Rin…" I said as I feel a bit shy about it.

As if seeing through my feelings and reaction, she showed a faint teasing smile on her beautiful face. She spreads her arms towards me and I carried her on my back. After picking up our stuff, I quickly darted out of the building.

We quickly traversed the darkness. The speed I was running was too fast that Xiao Rin seems to be struggling that she suddenly complained.

"Hey, Xin Wei… Can you slow down a bit? The wind is hurting my skin…" she complained.

I nodded my head and slow down my speed a bit but it still made her hide behind my back. I think I was traveling at around 60 to 70 kilometers per hour, so we soon reached the base of the Blue Serpent Gang after around an hour.

"Big sister Xiao Rin, I will take you to a friend of mine. I want to hide with them for a while… okay?" I said as I wanted to leave her so that I can travel easily.

As soon as I said that, the arms of Xiao Rin holding my neck suddenly tighten.

"No… Xin Wei… I…" she wanted to say something but stopped.

"Is there something wrong?"

"Yes… I… I have not told you something very important…" she said while biting her lower lip.

I could tell that she is a bit distress right now and a bit worried. I did not know why, but I could only guess that she did not want to be left alone. But of course, she would not be alone as the group that I am leaving her with is with that woman who can turn invisible, Tang Xing.

With her protection, I know Xiao Rin would be safe.

"Xin Wei… The truth is… every refugee who is staying with the settlement created by the gangs has a tracker implanted on their bodies…" she suddenly said.

When I heard this, I was a bit stunned. But I soon realized the truth. So, the reason why those guys are able to know my location is because of Xiao Rin. I was a bit shocked and worried, and I forced myself to calm down.

"Where did they put the tracker on your body?" I asked.

"I don't know… when I was reading one of the soldiers of the gang, I discovered this. And the location of the tracker is random. One could not know where it is put except those people and except one has a locator…" she explained.

"Hmmm… This is going to be tricky then…"

I decided to check her body to see if I can locate the tracker inside of her.

"Big sister Xiao Rin, I wanted to check your body for the tracker… Maybe I can find it and remove it from you… as you can see; I am well-versed in medicine…" I tried to convince her.

We stopped at a five-story building and I carefully put her down. She then showed a suspicious look on her face while looking at me.

"You're not going to take advantage of me, will you?" she asked while lifting her brows.

I feel like being interrogated as a pervert. But I don't know how to say it plainly and more subtle. I could only tell her my plan and hope that she would understand.

"No… of course not. I promise to just check your body for the possible trace of the so-called tracker." I explained.

"I wonder if those people who came to that place could find us…" I said with a concerned tone.

"Maybe… If they knew who are hunting us, then they might find my tracker, right?" she said with a hint of worry in her tone as she realized something.

Although what she said is true, but I don't think it would be that easy. I just hope that it would take time for those people to find us…

My true concern is not being hunted by them, but I have already decided to make use of those guys so that I could find Bai Yunya and the others. I never would have expected that they would be in trouble after leaving them.

I really thought that they have left the outer part of the city and went through the forest and leave this place for good.

Who would have known that they would fall into trouble?

As I contemplate about things that I needed to do, my ears pick up something. As I listen carefully, my expression slowly changes and my heart could not help but feel a bit worried.

This is because; I could now hear the sound of the truck coming our way traveling really fast.

"Damn it… We've been found… Big sister Xiao Rin hold on tight!" I said as I then gaze in the direction of the truck.

I could tell that they are still a bit far from us, but I could not let my guard down. I knew that they are now unto us and escaping is my only choice for now for Xiao Rin's safety…


Chapter 52: Snake Venom (2)

Chapter 52

(Unedited)

Xin Wei speeds up the rooftop while behind him is Xiao Rin who holds on tightly as the speed they are going is truly very fast.

Soon the two arrive in a tall building. This building was one a trading building of the city and is around 10 stories tall, which is one of the tallest buildings in the outer part of the city.

However, ever since the rise of the syndicate it was abandoned and many even died because of the fighting in this place.

Shin Jiao could tell that the building is occupied and there are many armed men inside. He decided to go to the roof to see if those people chasing after them would try to force their way into the building.

As the two landed, they did not see any people on the rooftop. Then Xin Wei noticed the collapse entryway to the roof.

"We should be safe in this place, right?" Xiao Rin asked with a hint of worry in her eyes.

"I'm not sure, but just in case. Here, take this…" Xin Wei gave her a handgun with a laser pointer attached to it.

"With this, you can easily hit your targets without relying on the sight…"

After saying that, Xin Wei suddenly jumped from the ledge and disappears through the night.

After around 30 minutes, a revving vehicle suddenly came into the entrance of the tall building. The armed men and six Hunters came down from the truck. From one look one could tell that these Hunters are well equipped.

"It seems that the Hunters from before are joined by another group and decided to hunt us instead. This is good; at least the girls would be safe for now. I need to eliminate these pesky bugs… I would just have to find out how they were able to track those girls… I mean, I'm sure they are part of the refugees, right?" I thought as I watch what is happening on the ground.

I could tell that these people are serious and judging from their equipment they truly wanted to either capture or eliminate. The lives of the people in their sight are in their control.

I soon heard some commotion on the ground as a man wearing camouflage walks out of the building.

"What are the hunters of the Hallowed Leaf doing in our territory? This is a violation of the treaty, if you do not back away now, we won't be polite!" the man in camouflage said with an angry look on his face.

This made the short man in black that made him looks like a special ops soldier suddenly take a step forward.

"You trashes from the Oslong Syndicate should not stand in our way. If not for your master being a powerful person, you guys would have already died a long time ago for your insolence." The man said as he proudly glared at the camouflage man.

"Hahaha… A barking dog of the Hallowed Leaf is still a dog. Back away now and we won't have any problem…"

The tension between these two groups has already increased and it made me smile.

"Wait… Don't fight, we are chasing after some dangerous people. According to our satellite input, that person is in this building. We would appreciate it that you cooperate with us." a tall man with two swords on his back interrupted.

The two groups suddenly look at each other, but the camouflage man seems that he did not believe this. So he just shakes his head and sneers at the group.

"You guys have already done the same thing before. You've raided our bases giving the same excuse. Do you think we are dumb enough to believe you? Since our boss's power has improved, we are not afraid of you people now. If our boss knew about this incident, let's see if the Black Serpent base could still stand tall when he attacks it."

With the warning from the man wearing camouflage, everyone in the Hunter team turned silent. However, this silence did not take long. One of the hunters suddenly draws his weapon which is really fast that everyone did not expect him to do it.

Bang!

The gunshot echoed and everyone was shocked. The man in camouflage suddenly turned pale as the bullet was lodged in-between his feet. Then as if by reaction, he suddenly recovers and jumps to the side.

This was the signal for the firefight.

Bang! Bang! Bratatat!

The sound of rapid gunfire echoed through the air as two groups clashed one against another.

However, in the middle of this firefight, the man who drew his handgun a while ago just stood there rooted on the ground. Blood could be seen dripping from his shoulder as a piece of sharp metal is a lodge on it.

Everything happened so fast that he did not even see who attacked him. But it seems that the attack did not aim to kill him but to make him miss.

He tried to look for the direction where the attack came from, but he could not detect anyone. Suddenly, something bit his other arms and his body was suddenly thrown to the ground.

Arrgghh!!!

This time, he could feel the pain in his both arms as he could not move them anymore.

"Hey, Quan is down!…" shouted one of the hunters.

They wanted to rescue the man named Quan, but it was too late. Before they knew it a bullet suddenly enters Quan's forehead and broke his skull apart when it exited at the back of his head exploding his blood and brain matters everywhere.

This scene made every one of the Hunters turned serious and angry.

"Sniper! Above!" everyone shouted as they hid behind the truck and the ruined buildings nearby.

But they are already surrounded by the enemy, so the battle became bloodier as armed men one after another began falling to the ground.

Meanwhile, those hiding inside the buildings have also suffered casualties because their opponents are using high-tech thermal gadgets and they are being picked one by one.

While the gunfight is happening, I suddenly turn around and decided to experiment on the thermal goggles' ability to detect heat.

I carefully control the Qi in my body and slowly envelop my body with a slightly cold Qi. Then I soon discover that the thermal effect began to lose its sight of my body temperature.

"So this would also do the trick…" I thought as I've read before that a fire extinguisher can lower body heat.

After discovering that, I quickly try to envelop my body with Qi. I could tell that the Qi in my body is slowly being consumed as I do this. However, it is an effective way to escape the detection of the enemy.

I quickly darted outside and easily bypass the sight of the Hunters.

My sigh falls on the man which seems to be the leader of the group. I quickly and sneakily approach. However, the rain of bullets is hard to ignore. So I did not have a choice but to eliminate a number of the people from the buildings.

These are not good people anyway and are a bunch of scumbags like their opponent.

When trapped between two scumbags, which one would you choose? Of course none of them. It is better to illuminate both for the betterment of humanity. Hehehe…

I then crawled through the walls and use the protruding metal wire to attack those people inside the buildings.

When the number of enemies lessens and the rain of bullets is not that dense anymore, I quickly jump towards the side of the truck.

Without hesitation, I lifted the rifle on my side and began to shoot everyone below me.

It was as if they were all taken aback, but two of them were able to activate their power and were able to block my bullets.

Upon seeing this, I could only look in amazement.

It's no wonder they are picked as Hunters, they truly have good ability and fighting prowess.

As I landed, I send a quick chop behind the neck of the short guy. He tried to block my strike but he was too slow in my eyes.

My hand shifted and instead hit the side of his neck making him faint.

I then grab the back of his bulletproof vest and drag him away from the group which suddenly began shooting at me.

Though their bullets were fast, their reaction is not fast enough. I was able to nab their boss in front of their eyes as I showed a faint smile on my face.

I may be invisible thermal in their thermal view, but I still could be seen with their night vision. But all of that is useless as I easily captured their leader which they were calling as captain.

Before escaping, I left the group hiding beside the truck and those in the building some parting gift.

Ka-Boom!!!
