"Ugh!"
Zhou Ming held his head and groaned in pain.
The combat experience from the assassin echoed in Zhou Ming's mind.
This assassin was one of the top experts in the Chronos organization, possessing powerful skills that only a few people could master, such as bending bullets and adrenal bursts.
Absorbing some of the combat experience from this assassin, Zhou Ming's firearm skills, which were already close to the threshold of mastery, finally advanced to level 3.
At the same time, the voice of the main god rang in his mind.
[Master the skill "Arc Trajectory Technique." Due to the restrictions of the world's laws, this skill can only be used in this world. It can be strengthened by spending reward points in the main god's space to gain universal permissions in other worlds.]
[Master the skill "Adrenal Burst Technique." Due to the personal differences in the body structures of reincarnators, this skill cannot be used!]
"What do you mean by personal differences in body structures?" Zhou Ming was stunned.
He was about to question the main god, but then he suddenly realized that although he and the people in this world were both humans, they were indeed different.
He came from the Gu world and had unique world laws, and the basic principles of matter formation were completely different.
There might not even be adrenaline in his body, so of course, he couldn't use the Adrenal Burst Technique.
"Forget it, if I can't use it, then I can't use it. This kind of temporary burst of energy is only effective in this world anyway."
Zhou Ming took out his phone and tried to contact Yang Zhisheng and Yu Man. One message said the phone was turned off, and the other call went unanswered.
"Yu Man should still be on the plane, so her phone is probably off. How can reincarnators still be so well-mannered?"
"It seems that Yang Zhisheng has also been attacked; otherwise, he wouldn't ignore my call."
Zhou Ming wasn't too worried about Yang Zhisheng's situation. If he could handle the assassin, then Yang Zhisheng, who was several times stronger than him, shouldn't have a problem.
Unless the enemy sent a large number of people to deal with Yang Zhisheng.
"Oh no!" Yang Zhisheng suddenly realized that since the other party knew their exact location, they could also see their plan.
In this situation, the enemy might concentrate their forces to attack the factory and destroy the machines and the ammonium nitrate they had produced.
"Damn it, I have to go and see!"
Zhou Ming endured the soreness of his body, leaned against the wall and struggled to stand up. He picked up the large revolver and took several magazines from the corpse of the man with the big head, carrying them on himself as he turned around and left.
Since he had been exposed, there was no point in staying here any longer. It was better to leave early.
As for the other people in the house, let them be. The Andreas family was innocent and had been involuntarily involved. Zhou Ming had no intention of killing them to keep them quiet.
Soon, Zhou Ming drove a car out of Andreas' garage and headed towards the factory.
Halfway through the drive, he received a call from Yang Zhisheng.
"Are you still alive?"
"I can still answer the phone. What about you?"
"I can still call you."
After a brief greeting and confirmation of each other's safety, the two of them laughed.
After the laughter subsided, they were faced with the grim reality once again.
"Do you know how many assassins are after me? There are at least a hundred of them! Those guys are crazy. They almost blew up the whole factory. I barely managed to escape, but our plan has gone down the drain."
"I expected it to be like this." Zhou Ming sighed and suddenly realized something.
"You mean they blew up the factory directly?"
"That's right. They even used the ammonium nitrate we produced ourselves! Those bastards, they seemed to be targeting this from the very beginning!"
Zhou Ming was stunned.
"What's wrong?" Yang Zhisheng on the other end of the phone noticed that Zhou Ming seemed off and asked quickly.
Zhou Ming sighed bitterly, "It seems like we have to deal with more than just the Chronos organization."
The Chronos organization was not like the Council organization, which followed an elite route. Where did hundreds of assassins come from at the same time?
Even if hundreds were just an exaggeration, in reality, there were dozens of assassins. Even if each of them only had the level of the first assassin Zhou Ming had killed, Yang Zhisheng, who was caught off guard and unprepared, couldn't escape.
Moreover, the Chronos organization always acted low-key. Blowing up a factory was not something they were capable of doing.
"You're right," Yang Zhisheng agreed, "I realize now that while those assassins are well-trained, their methods are a bit too..... crude."
During the heat of battle, Yang Zhisheng hadn't noticed the problem, but now that Zhou Ming had pointed it out, he immediately realized what was going on.
"So, these are the outsiders hired by the Chronos Organization? Why don't they handle it themselves? And who could they find to help them?"
Suddenly, as if a bolt of lightning had struck them, a name appeared in both their minds at the same time.
"The Council Organization!" they exclaimed in unison.
That's right, only the Council Organization had the power to send out hundreds of assassins to act so recklessly in the world of assassins.
When they had interrogated the captured assassin earlier, they learned that there were many subsidiary organizations affiliated with the Council Organization, as well as some independent organizations that refused to take orders from the Council Organization, of which the Chronos Organization was one.
The Council Organization had never stopped trying to recruit those organizations.
So, was it possible that the Chronos Organization was being recruited by the Council Organization, or had already been recruited?
"This is troublesome," Yang Zhisheng murmured, "I didn't expect to still be tangled up with the Council Organization."
"No, this is normal!" Zhou Ming's eyes flashed as he suddenly spoke up.
"To be honest, I've had doubts all along whether your mission was too easy compared to your strength. Even if the assassins from the Chronos Organization have some strength beyond that of ordinary people, they aren't such strong enemies for the two of you who have been strengthened through three cycles."
"Even if you wanted to, you could easily storm into the Chronos Organization's headquarters and come out unscathed."
"Don't be modest, I know you have that kind of strength."
"So I was wondering, would the main god issue a mission that isn't very dangerous for you? Now I understand that the real difficulty of this mission lies here."
"Destroying the Chronos Organization is different from destroying the Chronos Organization supported by the Council Organization."
At this point, Zhou Ming joked, "Am I on a pirate ship now?"
"Even if it's a pirate ship, you jumped onto it yourself," Yang Zhisheng said teasingly. "What, you want to jump ship now?"
"I dare not, I'm afraid the captain will strangle me," Zhou Ming laughed.
Yang Zhisheng burst into laughter.
"Let's meet up first and see if I can contact Yu Man. I'm afraid they might launch an attack at the airport."
"Do you think they would go crazy to that extent?"
"Who knows? I hope those killers are like rats in the sewer, never coming out into the light. But they already blew up a factory in broad daylight."
"You're right. You contact Yu Man, I'll come pick you up."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Ming stepped on the accelerator hard.
The operation was off to a bad start, the plan had been disrupted, and the biggest problem still remained unsolved: how did the people from the Chronos organization know their location and plan?
Did the people from Chronos have extraordinary powers to predict the movements of their enemies?
No, it's impossible!
If the enemy had such power, then everything they did was in vain, the balance of power was completely lost, and the main god could not possibly issue such a task.
Therefore, even if the other party had the ability to predict the enemy's movements, it was absolutely not easy to use.
If it could only be used once every certain period of time, it meant that all their future actions must be compressed and completed within a very short time, otherwise they would inevitably be obstructed and destroyed.
If it required paying some huge price to use it, then they had to figure out what price they had paid.
The car drove out of the city and raced on the spacious highway, the scenery outside the window quickly receding. Zhou Ming kept thinking about countermeasures.
Perhaps, there's no need to consider so much!
Zhou Ming's eyes lit up.
There's no need to think about how the other party found out about his movements, no need to think about how to restrain the other party's abilities, and no need to think about how to compress his own action time.
He could even act more boldly, with more aggressive methods, and do things that the other party can do nothing about, even if they know what he's going to do.
Time flew by quickly in Zhou Ming's thoughts, and soon he arrived at Yang Zhisheng's hiding place and picked him up.
"I contacted Yu Man. Those bastards did launch an assassination attempt on her at the airport, but they were all minor methods, and she handled them all."
"Indeed, they still dare not make a big fuss. They are more restrained when it comes to taking action."
Yang Zhisheng said.
"Has she left the airport?" Zhou Ming asked.
"She should have. After dealing with those assassins, she contacted me once and arranged to meet later."
"Try to contact her again!" Zhou Ming's expression changed slightly. "I'm afraid this is their way of misleading her!"
"You mean they intentionally failed to assassinate her at the airport to lower her guard, and then launch a stronger attack after she left?"
Yang Zhisheng immediately dialed Yu Man's phone, but it went unanswered for a long time.
The two looked at each other, their faces full of seriousness.
"If they didn't pay enough attention to our strength before, then after two failed assassination attempts from both sides, they won't make that mistake again."
In other words, what Yu Man is facing now is undoubtedly a much stronger assassination attempt than the previous two.
"Drive! We're going to the airport!" Yang Zhisheng shouted.
"We have hours of driving distance to the airport!"
"We have to go, I can't just sit back and watch my teammate in danger!"
"Calm down, I have an idea now!"
"What is it?"
"Surround Wei to Rescue Zhao!"[1]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[1]-Surround Wei to Rescue Zhao!, It is a famous military strategy from ancient China. It means that when an enemy state is attacking your ally, instead of directly attacking the enemy, you should surround another state that is allied with the enemy. This puts pressure on the enemy to divert their forces to defend their ally, giving your ally a chance to regroup and recover.
