Chapter 361: Chapter 140: Making up for yesterday’s four updates (asking for votes)

Speaking of which, the six people almost didn’t hesitate to charge at Gu Xiaoxi, attempting to capture her.

But unexpectedly, before they could get close to Gu Xiaoxi, all six of them were kicked away like sandbags.

Their backs slammed viciously against the wall, while Gu Xiaoxi appeared even more composed.

Huo Tian could only feel as if he were dreaming as he stared, wide-eyed; it took him a long while to snap back to reality. He then vigilantly watched Gu Xiaoxi and asked, "Who exactly are you!"

Leaning casually against the windowsill, Gu Xiaoxi crossed her long legs, her gaze nonchalantly on them, "Since you are one of the top ten generals under Yi Si, well then, I have a score to settle with Yi Si. I came here specifically to kick over his factory."

"A colleague?"

Gu Xiaoxi felt these people had too vivid an imagination.

She wasn’t preparing to argue with them any further!

"When you’re squatting in jail, you can slowly guess my identity," she said, as Gu Xiaoxi clenched her fist, gathered her Inner Strength, and then quickly charged at Huo Tian.

Huo Tian only saw Gu Xiaoxi’s figure flash, and the next second she was already in front of him.

She had already gathered strength in the palm of her hand, and with one punch she hit Huo Tian in the chest. The man flew backward and slammed into one of the stone pillars in the room, immediately spitting out a mouthful of blood.

At that moment, the six men she had previously knocked down got up from the ground and charged at her again.

Gu Xiaoxi quickly gathered Inner Strength in the palm of her hand, her speed so fast that they couldn’t catch even a glimpse of her figure.

By the time those men realized it, Gu Xiaoxi had already knocked them to the ground, where they lay spitting blood endlessly.

Gu Xiaoxi used strips of cloth to tie up the limbs of all seven men, then bound them to the stone pillar in the center of the room.

Afterward, she glanced at Huo Tian, brushed the dust off her hands with a laugh, and said, "You guys are too few, not enough for me to have fun with, so I might as well go downstairs to see if there’s anyone else. Don’t worry, when I kick over a place, I only take on people, not things."

With that, Gu Xiaoxi stuffed a piece of cloth into their mouths to block their annoying curses.

She quickly jumped down the passage.

The passage was very dark; it took about three minutes to see a light ahead.

And the closer she got to the light, the clearer the voices of many people inside became.

Only when Gu Xiaoxi got closer did she discover that underground was a space nearly a thousand square meters in size, with a small room partitioned off where two drug manufacturing experts, fully covered in hazmat suits, were busily at work.

Outside the small room, on an assembly line, seven or eight women were making drugs into wax pills.

When they saw Gu Xiaoxi, a stranger, they all showed a wary look, "Are you Mr. Yi Si’s liaison?"

Gu Xiaoxi narrowed her eyes with a smile, "Yes! Yes! The goods are about to be shipped out; I’ve come to see how your work is coming along..."

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Before Gu Xiaoxi could finish speaking, bullets rained down on her.

She immediately leapt aside to dodge; the bullets whisked past the hem of her clothes. If she hadn’t been so quick, she might have ended up like a hornet’s nest.

By now, Gu Xiaoxi knew for sure that she had messed up the secret signal, blowing her cover. These people were really cautious.

As they attacked Gu Xiaoxi, they retreated into the small room where the experts were, not even caring about the assembly line work they were leaving behind.

After dodging the bullets, Gu Xiaoxi pursued them with all her might.

The two drug manufacturers, without even taking off their masks, were escorted away by their protectors.

The passageway behind them led to the house Huo Tian had mentioned.

Once someone discovered them, the experts would immediately withdraw from the other side.

This was also why, each time the narcotics team raided them, they could only catch the small fish and never even saw the drug manufacturers’ faces.

Under the protection of a dozen women, the experts quickly escaped to the house next to the toy factory and got into a car, ready to flee.

Just at that moment, they were shocked to find someone standing on the hood of the car.

All they could see was a beautiful woman with her arms crossed, standing there, her backdrop suddenly looking tall and majestic, exuding a coolness that made it hard to look directly at her.

Her gaze, casual as she eyed them, a bright smile on her face, made their scalps tingle. She had actually caught up to them.

"Why run at the sight of me! I was invited by Huo Tian as a guest. He asked me to stay behind and have fun with everyone. If you all leave, and only I remain, it won’t be fun," said Gu Xiaoxi with a nonchalant air, her face sporting a smile brighter than the sun.

A chill settled in everyone’s hearts! This woman had actually entered through the main door, so Huo Tian must have been caught.

They also had to escape immediately.

"Since you’re asking for death, we’ll oblige you," said the woman driving. Suddenly, she started the engine, floored the accelerator, and even drove the car at top speed.

At the same time, seven or eight women, who had not boarded the vehicle, surrounded Gu Xiaoxi with weapons in hand.

"Kill!" The women bodyguards knew they had been exposed and needed to retreat immediately.

The woman driving forcefully stepped on the gas pedal, attempting to knock Gu Xiaoxi off the front of the car.

And the remaining women fired their guns in coordination with her.

After a screeching halt, two of the experts immediately widened their eyes in shock.

Because they saw their car get stopped by that woman with a single kick.

The women protecting them all fell to the ground, unconscious.

All of this happened in an instant.

"Who are you exactly? Why are you making an enemy of us!" said the trembling expert. "If you spare us, Mr. Yi Si will treat you as an honored guest."

With a forceful step, Gu Xiaoxi burst the car tire, lifted her head wickedly, and sneered at them, "An honored guest of Yi Si? Hahaha! I am your nemesis, and one day, I will root him out."

"As for you! I’m sending you to where you belong," Gu Xiaoxi said coldly.

Three minutes later, Jing Haoran and Ji Xinyu arrived at the scene, where the military dog had conducted an intense search and found a large stash of drugs in the factory and warehouse.

Gu Xiaoxi and the others had just secured the scene and were about to call the police when the sound of police sirens echoed through the streets outside.

A moment later, Gu Xiaoxi saw a chubby police officer from Xuan State approaching her quickly.

Without hesitation, the officer praised Gu Xiaoxi, "You are amazing! You broke into this place all by yourself."

Meanwhile, his subordinates were busy tallying up the number of people and seizing the drugs.

"Oh, it’s nothing! Your reconnaissance was excellent. They are indeed all bad guys," Gu Xiaoxi said humbly with a smile.

The officer gave her a thumbs-up, genuinely impressed by her. If the soldiers of today were all as formidable as her, many fewer police officers would probably be needed.

"We’ve arrested twenty people, all underlings of Yi Si, including two experts. As for these villagers, we need to take them back to the station for questioning! Miss Gu, here is a medal for completing the mission. Please take it. It will be used for the final points in the evaluation of the competition. There are six more locations to go, and I hope you can get more medals," the narcotics task force leader, Kate, said cheerily as she handed a medal bearing the Xuan State National Emblem to Gu Xiaoxi.

Gu Xiaoxi confidently accepted it with both hands, saying with a smile, "Thank you. I’ll do my best."

"Then go for it!" Kate said with a smile, leading her team to arrest these criminals and report back to the station. Next, she would move to another location for an ambush, waiting for the contestants to complete the following tasks.

"Gu Xiaoxi, you’re too awesome! You took down all these people so quickly." Ji Xinyu came over to help clean up after the narcotics task force leader had left and couldn’t help expressing his admiration.

Normally, others struggled to catch the enemy, but she, a woman, had infiltrated enemy lines and captured them as easily as if playing house.

Gu Xiaoxi shrugged it off, "If you put in as much effort as I do to train and improve your skills, you might be able to do the same."

She wasn’t boasting. Having abilities that others feared was her true edge.

If she hadn’t been strong enough today, she wouldn’t have been able to defeat Huo Tian, let alone capture the experts, and she might have been the one in peril.

That’s the harsh reality.

The mission at the first location was completed.

While waiting for her teammates, Gu Xiaoxi was also trying to figure out how to quickly move to the next location to rescue hostages and catch the criminals.

She would have to complete the tasks one by one based on the markings on the map, and certainly, time was tight. But what if they split up to accomplish the tasks?

Suddenly, Gu Xiaoxi had an epiphany; they could indeed complete all the missions in three days.

Twelve contestants divided into six teams.

Each team would go to a place, rescue a hostage, and capture a drug lord. This way, the tasks could be completed in just a day and a half.

If they had to travel to every location, the time wasted would be at least three times greater, not to mention exhausting themselves.

Gu Xiaoxi scratched her head. She, Jing Haoran, Yun Xiao, and Ji Xinyu were all capable of taking down drug lords on their own, but she couldn’t say the same for Long Yi and the rest.

Such an arrangement would not be entirely safe.

In the end, after much thought, Gu Xiaoxi decided they should move in teams of four. After all, they had an extra day, and running a little more wouldn’t hurt much. This was real combat; safety first.
