92: She's the one they're looking for.
They never expected that these people would be from Hydra.
Although Hydra had not been around for long, its strength and methods of operation made everyone in this place tremble at the mention of its name.
“B-Brother, let’s talk this out. It seems we Vipers have no dealings with you. If I spoke too loudly just now and disturbed you, I apologize now.”
The Viper member was trembling as he spoke.
How could he not be scared? Although they were both snakes, he was just a viper, but the other party?
Nine heads, they were already spirits, how could he fight them?
Seeing this, the bar manager quietly lowered his raised foot. He had originally intended to step forward and mediate, thinking that peace brings prosperity.
After all, if a fight broke out in the bar, who would bear the loss?
But as soon as he heard that those people were from Hydra, he had no choice but to pretend he saw nothing. The bar’s losses would be his own. It was like a mute eating bitter coptis; he had suffering but couldn’t speak of it.
Ask Hydra for money? What a joke, how was that different from seeking death?
As for the Vipers?
That was even more ridiculous. Having provoked Hydra, was there any possibility of the Vipers still existing?
The small leader heard this, slapped him, knocking him to the ground, and then waved his hand, saying, “Take him out. Don’t dirty someone else’s bar.”
Upon hearing this, the other party, who had intended to lie on the ground and play dead, now didn't need to pretend anymore.
“Brother, I was just boasting! I’m not a Viper! I’m not!”
But no matter what he said, the small leader turned a deaf ear.
Seeing this, everyone sighed endlessly. This was the big fish eating the small fish. They watched them leave before finally letting out a long breath.
And the manager’s suspended heart finally settled. He raised his hand to wipe his forehead, which, without realizing it, was already covered in sweat.
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out from outside, and everyone’s hearts trembled with it.
At the same time!
A few hundred meters from KK Compound, in an inconspicuous house on the right side of the street.
Six men and one woman gathered together in complete darkness.
And they were Xiao Yulong and the others who had escaped from KK Compound. Originally, escaping the compound was a cause for celebration.
But before they could leave Myawaddy, things became even more serious, and now they were stuck.
“Brother Long, given the situation outside, what should we do?”
“This is messed up. We finally got out of that hellhole, and now are we going to be caught and sent to another compound?”
Yes, they thought this was a case of black-on-black, just trying to snatch the 'piglets' from KK Compound.
Xiao Yulong frowned upon hearing this. If it was truly as he thought, rather than being caught again as a 'piglet', he would rather fight these people to the death.
Anyway, he had weapons in his hand; fighting gave him a chance to live, otherwise, he could only wait for death.
“No rush. Let’s wait for Rat to come back with information. Right now, we know nothing about the outside situation, which puts us in a very passive position.”
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than a knock on the door sounded, making everyone’s expressions tighten.
Xiao Yulong tightened his grip on his gun even more. Before they could make a move, a small voice came from outside the door.
“Brother Long, open the door, it’s me, Rat.”
Hearing this familiar voice, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Yulong gave one of them a look, and the person nodded, stepping forward to open the door.
As the door opened, a small-statured young man darted in from outside.
As soon as Rat entered, he first glanced at Chen Yanxi, hesitating to speak.
Xiao Yulong saw this and was a bit confused, “Rat, just say whatever it is. There are no outsiders here, and she was also rescued by us from KK Compound. There’s nothing to hide.”
Chen Yanxi lowered her head silently upon hearing this. She could feel that she seemed to have become a burden to these people.
Seeing Xiao Yulong say this, Rat no longer hesitated.
“It’s like this, Brother Long. I’ve found out clearly that those armed personnel who went to KK Compound earlier are a force called Hydra. They weren’t trying to snatch people from KK Compound; they were looking for someone.”
At this point, he paused, looked at Chen Yanxi, took a deep breath, and continued, “The person they’re looking for is her.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was instantly stunned.
Hydra? Looking for someone?
And that person was right beside them?
Thinking of this, everyone turned their gaze to the bewildered Chen Yanxi.
Xiao Yulong couldn't help but re-examine her. Looking at her clothes, hmm, there was nothing special, very ordinary attire, her demeanor?
She certainly didn't have the air of a rich young lady; she seemed more like someone from the countryside.
Although he thought so, the facts told him that it was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
No matter how he looked at it, the other party could not be an ordinary person.
After all, for a force to go to such great lengths to find someone, that alone was enough to explain everything.
Thinking of this, he curiously asked, “How were you tricked into coming here?”
“I... I don’t know either. If I had to say, I should have been kidnapped from Cloud City to here.”
“What? Kidnapped?”
Xiao Yulong and the others couldn't help but exclaim upon hearing this.
It made sense. If it was a kidnapping, then it all added up.
This meant that Hydra was looking for her for one of two reasons: either they wanted to use her to exchange for a high ransom, or her family contacted Hydra to help find her.
If that were the case, then in either scenario, she should not be in too much danger.
But they were different.
Chen Yanxi seemed to have thought of this too. The only thing she didn't understand was why she would be kidnapped. If Hydra was contacted by her family for help, then who would have that capability?
She knew her family's situation very well; it couldn't be her parents, and there were no such relatives or friends in her family.
It couldn't be her brother, could it?
Hmm, that possibility wasn't high.
Just then, Little Hei was leading his men, searching house by house towards their location.
Hearing the commotion, Xiao Yulong and the others tensed up.
“Brother Long, they’re nearby.”
Everyone looked at Xiao Yulong, waiting for his decision.
If they abandoned this woman, they could escape unharmed, and Hydra wouldn't discover them.
But now Xiao Yulong was their leader, and no matter what decision he made, they would not object.
For a moment, the atmosphere was a bit oppressive, and Chen Yanxi clearly felt it too.
Clutching the hem of her clothes, the expression on her face changed several times. Finally, she gritted her teeth, looked up, and said, “Brother Xiao, thank you for helping me escape the compound, but I cannot drag you down.”
With that, she gave Xiao Yulong and the others no time to react, turned, opened the door, and ran out.
“Come back…”
However, by the time Xiao Yulong reacted, she had already run far away.
“Brother Long, what do we do? Should we follow her?”
Xiao Yulong heard this, remained silent for a moment, then sighed, “Ah, forget it. There are two possibilities, and no matter which one, her chances of returning home alive are much greater than ours.”
Thinking of this, it made him think of his own sister. If the kidnapped person were his sister.
Her fate would probably be even more tragic than hers, because he neither had enough money to ransom someone, nor could he contact a force like Hydra for help.
As he thought of this, a sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.
The others fell silent upon hearing this.
After a moment, Rat broke the silence, “Brother Long, where do we go next?”
Xiao Yulong heard this and didn't answer immediately, but instead looked at the gun in his hand.
After all these events, he understood that only with guns and money in hand could he and those around him be safe.
Thinking of this, he looked up at his brothers around him and slowly said, “We’re not going back. We’re going to the Middle East. As for what we’ll do there, we’ll talk about it when we arrive. If you don’t want to follow me, I won’t force you.”
Rat heard this and was the first to raise his hand to vote, “Brother Long, if it weren’t for your care in KK Compound, I, Rat, would have been electrocuted by those bastards long ago. No matter where you go or what you do, I, Rat, will follow you.”
“Damn it, Rat, you said it all, what do we say?”
“Exactly, exactly. But Brother Long, don’t worry, we are people who have already died once, what else is there to fear?”
“Hehe, I think the wicked heavens let us survive KK Compound because they want us to achieve something great. This is a sign from above.”
“That’s right, this is what heaven wants to give us, it’s just that some bastards took it before. This time, we will personally take back everything that belongs to us.”
Xiao Yulong looked at their expressions and chuckled, “Damn it, you guys are really fired up! Then it’s settled. We’re heading to the Middle East. But before that, we need to get a few small pistols for self-defense and go to the most dangerous place first.”
