Chapter 1001: Chapter 998: Return

"All units, seal off all exits and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving. If you see someone forcing their way through, no matter the cost, hold them back,"

As Ah Fu activated his communicator to relay the instructions, he had hardly finished speaking when he received a response from the other side, "Vice Chairman, there’s trouble. Exit 3 in E-region has been breached, and someone has already left."

"They’ve left? Why didn’t you stop them?"

Hearing the response, Ah Fu was almost furious, and the reporting soldier on the other side almost burst into tears, "Vice Chairman, we couldn’t stop them!"

Ah Fu regained his composure, knowing that if the person who had escaped was too powerful, no one could stop them unless he took action himself.

"How many people?"

"Two."

"Only two? Who are they?"

"One of them is Mo Jun; the other is unknown, wearing a mask and a dirty overcoat. They headed outside."

Hearing this, Ah Fu glanced at Zhao Lan and then at the small bear lying quietly on the ground. For some reason, he thought of Lin Jie, whom Zhao Lan had spoken about. Could this small bear belong to the mysterious person mentioned by the soldier?

Otherwise, why would Chen Zhou’an have this object in his possession?

"How long ago did this happen?"

"Two minutes ago."

Ah Fu immediately disconnected the communicator. If it had been only two minutes since they left, then the other side was clearly not in a hurry and also not afraid of being pursued by the Peace Party. If so, he still had a chance to catch up with them.

However, it seemed the soldier on the other end of the communicator guessed what Ah Fu was thinking. Right after the disconnection, he called again.

"What is it?"

"Vice Chairman, I think we shouldn’t pursue them. Those two vanished as soon as they left. With our equipment, we probably can’t catch up with their speed."

"Chase them anyway!"

With a roar, Ah Fu disconnected again. Following a series of commands from Ah Fu, a large amount of armed equipment mobilized and sped in the direction Mo Jun had taken. Just as Ah Fu’s personal vehicle arrived by his side, and he was about to board it to join the troops in pursuit of Mo Jun, his attention was once again drawn to the toy bear on the ground. After considering, he didn’t immediately get on but took the toy bear with him before boarding the vehicle.

"Let’s go."

The massive off-road vehicle started up, emitting a roar like a wild beast, following behind the Grim Reaper tank squad as they moved majestically away; the scenery outside the window began to recede. Holding the toy bear in his hand, Ah Fu inexplicably felt that keeping this object might prove useful.

Having interacted with human society for so long, Ah Fu had gradually developed a human-like sentimentality and understood that humans were a species that loved novelty and quickly grew bored. However, if the date on the plastic tag of the toy bear was genuine, and it had been kept for over twenty years, it only indicated that this object was very important to its owner, who might likely come back for it after discovering it was lost.

Soon, the Peace Party’s troops had driven out of Cepuguo City, but just a few kilometers away, Paint Man and Mo Jun, due to their exceptional vision, spotted the Peace Party’s large army that had just left the city. Paint Man couldn’t help but chuckle bizarrely.

"It looks like they are desperate, aren’t they? They know they can’t catch up but still they chase."

With a snort, Paint Man glanced at Mo Jun and said, "Stop looking, let’s go."

As he spoke, Paint Man jumped down from the treetop, his figure disappeared into the dense forest. After a moment of thought, Mo Jun finally showed a trace of resentment after Paint Man was out of sight. His painstakingly established Shen Luo Group was ruined in an instant just because of a single sentence from this man. To say he didn’t hate him was impossible.

But in this apocalyptic world, where the law of the jungle was cruelly evident, the opponent was too strong for him. Mo Jun didn’t want to die, especially not at the hands of Paint Man. He had seen Paint Man’s methods of killing. Unless it was extremely urgent, those who died by his hand would suffer the utmost torture beforehand!

Just the thought would make Mo Jun shudder uncontrollably.

However, coming back to his senses, he realized that Paint Man had already walked far away. He quickly jumped down from the treetop and hurriedly followed.

But just then, something strange happened. Paint Man, who was ahead, suddenly stopped in his tracks. The Level 7 New Human’s body, as hard as steel, knocked down five or six large trees.

Paint Man, as if bewitched, stared blankly ahead. Soon, Mo Jun caught up and, seeing Paint Man’s dazed expression, couldn’t help but ask with curiosity, "What’s wrong with you?"

Paint Man didn’t answer him. He stared blankly ahead for a moment, then suddenly began frantically searching himself with both hands.

Soon, Paint Man stopped his movements. An image formed in his head: Chen Zhou’an had grabbed his clothes, and in the struggle, the diminishing strength of his hands finally let go, also pulling down that particular item from himself.

"The item was dropped there!" he thought to himself. His face wasn’t visible under the mask, but from his eyes, one could tell that Paint Man looked fierce and anxious.

"What exactly is wrong?" Mo Jun was getting irritated, but he still tried to keep his voice as calm as possible.

"I lost something!"

"What thing?"

Mo Jun grew even more puzzled. What could make Paint Man look like this?

However, Paint Man did not reveal what he had lost but immediately said, "Let’s go! Back!"

With that single statement, Mo Jun was flabbergasted.

"What, go back? Are you crazy? We just came out from there, and now you want me to go back?"

"What? You don’t want to?"

The loss seemed to have made Paint Man quite aggressive. Hearing the displeasure in Mo Jun’s words, his eyes instantly turned icy.

Mo Jun’s face changed, and he quickly shook his head. This guy was usually easy to talk to and didn’t mind how others addressed him. Until now, Mo Jun didn’t even know what to call him mysterious, he could only refer to him as "you" or occasionally shout "hey."

"Then follow me back."

Despite his reluctance, Mo Jun had no choice but to nod in resignation, clearly anticipating another bloody battle soon.

Paint Man turned to face the way they had come, kicked off the ground, stirring up dust. His body just took off. The explosive power of a Level 7 New Human was no joke; a light leap could send him hundreds of meters into the air, even allowing for a short glide in mid-air.

In an instant, Paint Man had created a kilometer distance from Mo Jun, who quickly followed.

The violent advance of the two men caused the trees below to sway heavily from side to side.
