Chen Gu immediately contacted his adult son. The matter was of great importance, and he needed to complete the procedures as quickly as possible; this involved a cross-border capture and required coordination with the Wanfulu City sub-bureau.
Chen Jixian's response was very swift indeed. He sent various legal documents to Chen Gu, and along with them, a message reminding him, "Be careful! I suspect there's a mole on the Wanfulu side, but since the two doses of the drug sold could very well be there, I must alert their sub-bureau to be on high alert!"
Chen Gu's heart sank. He grabbed Wu Minzhe in one swift motion. "Everyone, be careful. We're heading back immediately!"
They had just left Wu Minzhe's apartment building when Chen Jixian's second message arrived: "The special duty officers assigned for your backup have already set off."
Chen Gu breathed a slight sigh of relief.
On the way, he had already donned the 'Apocalypse Hand' and placed the demonic gun 'Evil Moon' at his waist, while covertly preparing the 'Silent Tuning Fork.' It was just too bad that 'Mokasaro's Roar' was still unusable, leaving him without an extra layer of life-saving protection.
Seeing Chen Gu geared up as if facing a formidable enemy, Joseph sensed that something was off and asked, "What exactly is this 'Consfino Type II'?"
Dora already had a gun in each hand, and Boluo had crafted six alchemy bombs for backup. Both wore serious expressions as they took turns explaining to Joseph, who glared at Wu Minzhe, teeth clenched in anger. "This idiot has been used!"
It was only then that Wu Minzhe understood what the so-called "Consfino Type II" he had sold really was. He said in disbelief, "Impossible! This stuff... they dare to expand their network so aggressively to sell it?"
Chen Gu kept observing his surroundings, as if searching for something hidden. Without turning his head, he said to Wu Minzhe, "How do you know they've been aggressively expanding their network? What if they've actually only approached you, or a limited number of people? Giving each person three doses of the drug and secretly observing them to collect data?"
Wu Minzhe was at a loss for words. It took him a moment to realize, "Doesn't that mean they must be secretly watching me?"
Chen Gu snorted with disdain. You've finally figured it out.
However, their departure went smoothly. Whether or not someone was covertly surveilling Wu Minzhe, no one made a move.
They quickly hailed an autonomous taxi and rushed to the spaceport.
Wu Minzhe, a fashionable magazine photographer with a polished exterior, lived near the city center, a long distance from the spaceport. The maglev vehicle was incredibly fast. As soon as Chen Gu boarded, he used his citizen-rank privileges to apply for maximum priority, allowing the vehicle to zip through the city. They quickly left the bustling urban area behind and, after another ten minutes, reached the expressway to the spaceport.
This route was remote, and it was here that Chen Gu truly started to become nervous.
If the hidden enemy were to strike, this would clearly be the most opportune place.
Just as they were halfway through the journey, a sudden CRACK sounded from the roadside – a large holographic advertising device sparked furiously and came crashing down.
Everyone in the vehicle became extremely tense, but surprisingly, the most unnerved was Wu Minzhe, who let out a shrill, effeminate scream! ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NoveIＦire.net
The vehicle decelerated rapidly. Before it came to a complete stop, the doors opened, and Dora and Boluo somersaulted out, each securing a strategic position and warily scanning the surrounding darkness.
The advertising device slammed onto the ground with a series of loud THUDS, electricity arcing around it.
But aside from that, all was quiet around them; nothing else occurred.
Chen Gu also activated his 'Mind Belief' skill but didn't sense any threats. He waited a bit longer and then whispered, "Come back."
Dora and Boluo got back into the vehicle. After waiting a moment longer, they continued on their way.
Wu Minzhe let out a long sigh of relief. "You guys scared me to death! It's probably not the kind of poison you mentioned, and there's no one secretly watching me..."
Suddenly, a tiny speck of light appeared in the sky directly in front of their vehicle. It moved with unbelievable speed, instantly rushing to the front of the maglev. The speck of light then exploded into a blinding, massive orb. Within it, a figure completely enveloped in arcing electricity raised a war blade longer than they were tall, bringing it down in a slash aimed at the vehicle!
Chen Gu didn't have time to think. The 'Nuclear Combat Technique' activated, and the 'Apocalypse Hand' met the attack with a punch!
The war blade of the incoming enemy CRACKLED with huge, twisting bolts of lightning; Chen Gu's 'Apocalypse Hand' also lit up with the dark blue glow of 'Radiation Scouring'!
The windshield caught between the two forces didn't even last long enough for the fist and war blade to truly impact it, shattering instantly into a cloud of fine powder.
Then, Chen Gu's fist viciously smashed onto the edge of the war blade.
The terrifying force erupted. 'Radiation Scouring' trembled from the impact, momentarily becoming erratic and intermittent.
The fearsome electricity from the war blade poured onto Chen Gu's body like a flood, making all his hair stand on end.
Yet, this punch managed to block the slash.
The enemy, wreathed in electricity, flipped back into the air, retreating.
Chen Gu, along with the maglev car, was slammed onto the ground with a CRASH.
The ground suddenly turned from solid to liquid, sweeping up from all around, trying to engulf the entire maglev car.
Boluo roared, thrusting the alchemical bombs in his hands into the liquid. With a rapid series of explosions (BANG! BANG! BANG!), the liquid was blasted outwards, temporarily halting the enemy's attack.
"Get out of the car!"
Chen Gu shouted, electric sparks still flashing over him. He grabbed Wu Minzhe and rushed out, defiantly standing beside the vehicle. He flipped off the enemy hovering in the sky—buoyed by crackling electricity—then tossed Wu Minzhe to Joseph. "Watch him!"
Then, facing the enemy's second dive, he clenched his fists tightly!
But secretly, Chen Gu had activated the 'Silent Tuning Fork.'
The 'Multistate Special Agent,' which had just turned the liquid on the ground into gas in an attempt to regroup quickly, suddenly felt a loud HUMMING sound. Its gaseous body undulated violently, tormented by the invisible sound waves.
Meanwhile, Dora extended eight metallic spider legs from her backpack, anchoring herself firmly to the ground. Eight firearms materialized around her, all set to rapid-fire mode, and she immediately opened fire on the enemy plummeting from the sky!
The bullets were extremely dense, streaking across the night sky as tight lines of light, accurately striking around the target.
Dora herself quickly assembled various components she produced, piecing together a strangely-shaped two-meter-long gun. She inserted eight energy blocks, then immediately cranked the power to maximum, aimed at the enemy in the sky, and decisively pulled the trigger.
A straight beam of energy shot out!
