Chapter 172: Someone In City Center

After the plan was drafted by everyone,

Among the crowd, An Xiong secretly slipped away.

Seeing this, Bai Zhan immediately followed.

He observed the guy sneakily heading to a corner and then discreetly making a phone call.

Instead of questioning him directly, Bai Zhan immediately proceeded to the base’s information center.

Inside the information center, Bai Zhan quickly found the person in charge and said, "Immediately show me all the signals sent from here within the last five minutes!"

"Yes!"

The information center personnel promptly began the investigation.

One of them closed his eyes slightly and, after a moment, opened them, saying, "Found it! Three minutes ago, someone made a phone call near the command post!"

This individual possessed the ability to sense special magnetic fields, picking up any signal fluctuations.

Since the call was short, it was quickly located.

"Can you retrieve the content of the call?"

Bai Zhan asked eagerly.

"That’s possible but requires computer assistance!"

Then the person began operating the computer. Before long, they retrieved the content of An Xiong’s phone call and who it was made to.

As expected, under Bai Zhan’s investigation, An Xiong had indeed called Ping Yu. However, when Bai Zhan heard the content, he couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

"Departed!"

In the call, An Xiong simply uttered this word.

This hardly constituted any significant evidence. Even if reported to Chief Lei, he wouldn’t consider this word as conclusive proof. An Xiong could simply explain that it was just a notification to Ping Yu.

Disappointed, Bai Zhan left the information center and continued to have people monitor An Xiong.

Meanwhile, the person responsible for inspecting the underground had entered the sewers.

This was a fifth-tier stealth evolutionist.

Everyone watched the recording device, observing the dark screen.

In the darkness of the sewer, they could even hear the distinct sounds of rats gnawing on objects.

The evolutionist held electronic devices, constantly checking their location.

Finally, to everyone’s anticipation, he arrived at a sewer exit in the city center.

"Wait!"

At that moment, a voice came through the earpiece of the evolutionist.

"This sewer exit leads to the central street sewer. You’ll definitely encounter mutant beasts when you exit. Now, continue straight and take a left. There’s a hotel there connected to the sewers. It’s very safe inside!"

Hearing this advice, the stealth evolutionist continued forward.

However, upon reaching the sewer’s turn towards the hotel,

He suddenly stopped.

Wearing night-vision goggles, in the darkness, he saw a greenish hue in the distance.

But within this green hue, from afar, numerous pairs of dark green eyes turned and looked directly at the evolutionist.

Inside the command post, everyone’s heart skipped a beat.

Because the recording device had night vision too.

Everyone present could see what was happening.

The mutated rats were densely piled together, gnawing on decaying corpses. Each mutated rat was as big as a small dog, some even as large as a calf. With their chubby faces and shiny green eyes, they stared ahead.

At once, the evolutionist disappeared from the spot, holding their breath and standing still.

Rats have night vision but less-developed brains. Initially, upon seeing a person, they were ready to pounce. However, upon finding nothing, they lowered their heads and resumed feeding on the putrid bodies.

Seeing this, the invisible person sighed in relief and began slowly backing away.

"Listen, bring out the timed bomb, place it on the remote-controlled car, control the car to move forward, attract the rats out!"

The voice came through the earpiece once again.

The stealthy figure slowly retrieved a bomb from their backpack, set the timer, and placed it on a carefully maneuvered remote-controlled car.

The car, flashing a red light, moved slowly forward.

Upon hearing the noise, the rats immediately surged out like a tide. The hidden evolutionist, frowning, watched it all. As all the rats emerged, the invisible person pressed the detonation button.

With a loud explosion, the hidden figure immediately turned towards the direction of the hotel.

Seeing the stealthy figure successfully enter the hotel, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, the stealthy person prepared to head towards the upper floors of the hotel.

To get a distant view, they needed to stand at the highest point to see what the city center really looked like.

However, the moment the stealthy figure emerged from the sewer entrance, something fiercely struck them.

Shortly after, the invisible person fell unconscious, their condition unknown.

"What’s going on?"

"What happened?"

"Hello? Can you hear us?"

Chief Lei continued to call out, but there was no response.

"He’s been knocked out!"

Immediately, someone noticed the signs. In their experience, only humans would set up an ambush and conduct a surprise attack.

"There’s someone in the city center!"

Everyone immediately confirmed this fact.

"Someone’s causing trouble!"

"It must be Xiao Feng’s doing!"

At this moment, Chu Xinger angrily stood up.

"He’s an eighth-level spatial evolutionist. He’s definitely opened a spatial rift in the city center, continuously bringing in creatures from the outside to stop us!"

"Moreover, being a spatial evolutionist, he must have the ability to sense anomalies within a certain space range. That’s why he could accurately locate the invisible person’s position and launch the ambush!"

Chu Xinger accurately analyzed the situation.

Meanwhile, her deputy beside her looked somewhat surprised at Chu Xinger. She had always been seen as a hot-headed girl, often blindly following the crowd. Yet now, she astutely analyzed so much.

However, no one knew that her analysis was completely off.

At this point, driven by vengeance, she was almost losing her rationality.

"That scoundrel Xiao Feng! Once we break in, he’s the first one we’ll kill!" Chief Lei said with hatred.

"But what do we do now? Creatures keep coming out from inside; we can’t enter at all!"

"Should we execute a carpet bombing?"

"Yes! That might disrupt his spatial rift, stop him from bringing more creatures in!"

"But this way, it’ll thoroughly enrage all the mutated creatures in the city center. They’ll go berserk and become hard to deal with!"

"But what other choice do we have? A conventional attack won’t work, who knows how many more creatures he can summon in!"

"Chief Lei, time is running out for us; make a decision!"

Chief Lei frowned deeply, ultimately nodding firmly.

"Bombing is an option, but we need to leave a gap for the creatures. Drive them out of the city first, then engage and eliminate them in the wilderness!"
