252: In a melee, sneak attacks are paramount?

Screech…

The car stopped in front of Shen Bei.

A Face peered out from inside the car window.

Shen Bei still recognized him.

It was none other than Miller, the officer in charge of Luan County's Permanent Dungeon!

“What’s going on?” Miller looked at Shen Bei with a somewhat dazed expression.

Shen Bei pulled open the car door and got in: “The dog is jumping over the wall, of course.”

“Ming Ye is the mole?”

“Anyone who attacks me is a mole.”

Miller seemed to ponder for a moment: “That’s true.”

Originally, Miller was the vanguard.

The car he was driving was identical to the one Ming Ye was driving, both bearing clear Military markings.

According to Bai Wei’s arrangement,

Miller would go first, acting as a minesweeper.

Then Shen Bei’s car would follow closely behind.

At the same time, another Military vehicle would follow Shen Bei’s car at a certain distance.

However, the battle between Shen Bei and Ming Ye just now was too fast, lasting only a few minutes.

When Miller tried to contact Ming Ye via radio, he didn’t receive a reply for a long time, which prompted him to turn back.

“You wouldn’t attack me, would you?”

Shen Bei eyed Miller, grinning as he asked.

Miller started the car and continued driving through the night, smacking his lips as he said: “The list is in your hands, just see if my name is on it.”

“It is.”

“You’re very humorous?”

Shen Bei shrugged: “I’m just telling you to be self-aware.”

Miller rolled his eyes: “You can eat whatever you want, but you can’t talk nonsense. Every name you mention could lead to me undergoing a year-long political review…”

“Paid vacation, huh.” Shen Bei, instead, blinked: “Isn’t this getting interesting?”

Miller looked at Shen Bei with extreme bewilderment, his mouth twitching: “You really don’t know what a political review is like? Do you think it’s just clocking in and clocking out?”

“I’m just offering a suggestion. If you have no problems, you wouldn’t be afraid.”

“I’m afraid!” Miller roared: “A political review is no joke. A year will just be gone, and by the time I get back, my position will be gone too! Don’t just spout nonsense, be factual.”

Shen Bei: …

Shen Bei shamelessly said: “I just feel that the package price you gave me last time was a bit low.”

Miller’s mouth twitched, his Face falling: “Let’s not dwell on old news.”

“You’re regretting the money!”

“I’m also regretting Ming Ye.”

Miller flipped his hand, a cigarette landed in his mouth, he lit it and took a drag: “You should have left a living person.”

“Am I not alive?”

“The way you put it, don’t testimonies need to corroborate each other? Otherwise, if it’s just based on your sole accusation, wouldn’t it just be according to your mood?”

“When I think of the package price in the Dungeon, I’m not in a good mood.”

“Are you never going to let this go?”

Miller slapped the steering wheel: “Don’t use public office for private revenge.”

Shen Bei shrugged.

…

Throughout the journey,

It was peaceful and calm.

Miller’s driving speed wasn’t fast, only around sixty miles per hour.

As if he was afraid of letting the mole miss them.

He would occasionally look out the window, his expression clearly showing, why wasn’t anyone coming out to assassinate Shen Bei.

He was getting a little anxious waiting.

“Where is Bai Wei?” Shen Bei asked.

Miller shook his head: “How would I know? Maybe she’s on the roof, maybe she’s under the car.”

Shen Bei glanced down at his feet, scratched his head, reached for his phone, found a car radio station, and played Adou’s “He Must Love You Very Much”.

Adou’s unique voice resonated through the car’s speakers.

“Oh, right.”

At this moment, Miller, looking for something to say, asked: “I was in Liaobei Province a few days ago for business, guess who I saw at the Martial Arts Management Bureau?”

Shen Bei tilted his head: “Who?”

“Du Ziteng and Niu Liu.”

Shen Bei was greatly confused: “Wait, you saw them both at the Martial Arts Management Bureau?”

“That’s right, at that time they were locked in the calm room, like drowned chickens, showing none of their former prestige from the Dungeon.”

Shen Bei was a bit bewildered.

Neither Niu Yanben nor Du Ziteng had ever mentioned this to anyone, including himself.

“What did they go in for?”

Shen Bei asked curiously.

The Martial Arts Management Bureau was not an ordinary place.

Besides managing Martial Artists, its primary responsibility was to handle cases involving Martial Artists that the Patrol Bureau couldn't.

How to put it?

It was a bit like the railway police.

Matters on the railway were all handled by the railway police.

Matters concerning Martial Artists were pretty much all handled by the Martial Arts Management Bureau.

And for Du Ziteng and Niu Yanben to be in the Martial Arts Management Bureau’s calm room, they must have committed an offense.

At this point, Miller smiled and said: “It didn’t seem like a big deal. Don’t Martial Artists outside all like to attach themselves to companies to earn some extra money?”

“Perhaps during a team-up, they had an unpleasant incident and got into a fight with people from some Xingchen Martial Arts Club.”

“When Martial Artists fight among themselves, the Patrol Bureau can’t handle it, so the Martial Arts Management Bureau got involved.”

Shen Bei oh’d…

Shen Bei had heard Du Ziteng mention this matter once.

Shen Bei had thought it was just a street brawl, and Du Ziteng hadn’t mentioned being locked up in the Martial Arts Management Bureau.

As for what the Xingchen Martial Arts Club was, Shen Bei didn’t know either.

“No matter what, we’ve all met before.” Miller put on a smug expression: “With a wave of my hand, the Martial Arts Management Bureau released them.”

Shen Bei felt he was boasting.

You’re not Red-Haired Shanks, a master of Face, are you?

But Shen Bei still understood social etiquette: “Thanks, I’ll treat you to dinner sometime.”

Miller rolled his eyes.

The implication was, eat what the hell.

…

Outside the car window, the deep night remained, unchanging.

Even as the car sped along, it gave one the illusion of standing still.

Just as Adou’s song finished playing on the car radio,

Miller suddenly felt an inexplicable premonition, his Face drastically changed, and he slammed on the brakes.

Screech~~~

The tires skidded on the ground, emitting acrid white smoke.

Shen Bei jolted.

He looked up ahead.

He saw.

At the farthest point the headlights could illuminate, several figures were hidden in the darkness, blocking the highway.

The figures varied in height.

They exuded an oppressive Aura.

The air at this moment seemed to thicken.

“If they’re not lost while strolling, then they’re definitely here for me.” Shen Bei’s gaze became exceptionally deep as he spoke.

Miller unbuckled his seatbelt, his peripheral vision cautiously scanning the surroundings, then he said in a low voice: “Do you use idle talk as a way to relieve stress?”

“No.”

Shen Bei revealed a set of stark white teeth and smiled: “My way of relieving stress is by killing people.”

“Unfortunately,”

Miller pushed open the car door: “You’re not needed here. Your current task is to get out of the car, hide on the side, and just watch the show.”

Shen Bei calmly got out of the car and leaned against the car door: “No ticket needed, right?”

Miller walked to the front of the car, and as he walked into the light of the headlights, he took off his Military uniform, threw it aside, and said: “Save it for buying Medicinal Pills.”

At this moment, Miller stood ten meters in front of the figures.

He was only wearing a white tank top, like a lone hero.

Miller scanned them, these people looked unfamiliar, they must be assassins drawn from the organization by the mole.

“If you gentlemen aren’t here to rob, then I can only assume you are from the Apocalypse Cult or the Headhunter Tribe. Give me a clear answer, which organization are you from?”

One of the emaciated men, with a Face as pale as a corpse, walked into the light.

“Which organization we are from is meaningless to you.”

The man spread his arms: “Dead people are only fit to do one thing, and that is to shut up.”

“Heh heh.”

Miller flipped his hand, and a flare shot into the sky.

The flare ascended like a firework, trailing a luminous tail.

Instantly.

It exploded in the sky, half of the sky suddenly brightened, then was quickly swallowed and covered by darkness.

Shen Bei could see many figures moving in the distant darkness.

Some even broke through the air and entered.

This flare, without a doubt, was the battlefield Miller had chosen.

Whether it was Military personnel or members of another organization, they would all rush in frantically.

The Military’s goal was to capture more members of the Apocalypse Cult and the Headhunter Tribe, and then follow the clues to uproot the moles within the Military.

And the Apocalypse Cult and the Headhunter Tribe had only one goal: to kill Shen Bei!

To protect the Military moles and ensure they didn't lose the channel for illegal transactions in the Dungeon.

Boom boom…

A few breaths later.

Figures appeared everywhere.

Around Miller, Military Martial Artists continuously emerged.

And opposite them, hidden outside the light, more and more Martial Artists appeared.

Only Shen Bei sat on the car roof, observing curiously.

But Shen Bei still hadn’t seen Bai Wei’s whereabouts.

Just at this moment,

In the night sky, from the North, a roaring, piercing sound suddenly came through the air.

First, an unrivaled green light streaked over everyone’s heads.

Then, a fiery red light followed closely behind.

In this instant,

Bai Wei’s voice came from the sky: “Fight individually, I’m going to kill this Nine-Rank Martial Artist!”

Whoosh whoosh…

One green, one red, in the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the night.

Shen Bei’s mouth twitched.

Good heavens!

To kill him, the other side actually dispatched a Nine-Rank Martial Artist!

Just thinking about it made him feel a lingering fear.

Fortunately, Bai Wei had targeted him.

If he had encountered them, he wouldn’t even know how he died.

“They’re really going all out…”

Shen Bei smacked his lips.

The good thing was, that green light was too fast, otherwise, if they had paid attention to the highway, they would have noticed him sitting on the car roof.

If they had passed by and slapped him, it would have been enough to put him in a difficult situation.

At this very moment,

The two sides on the highway, no, three sides, or even four sides.

A group of people, under an infinite murderous Aura, stared intently at each other for a full minute.

Shen Bei, standing behind them, broke the rhythm of their Aura-based probing, and shouted: “Hurry up, hurry up, don’t delay everyone from going home to sleep.”

Immediately, these Martial Artists exploded:

“Damn it, sleep? I’m going to make you sleep forever!”

“You’re Shen Bei, right? I heard your head is worth a lot of money.”

“No matter who it is, anyone who came here today should work together to take down Shen Bei!”

“Right! Grab your weapons, first push aside these annoying Military personnel!”

…

Miller, on the Military side, stretched his arms, pointed with one hand, his eyes gleaming with a different kind of ferocity: “No one lives! Charge!”

As soon as he finished speaking,

Both sides of Martial Artists simultaneously began to charge towards each other.

Almost instantly,

The Martial Artists collided like two tsunamis rushing in different directions.

The earth groaned, the air was torn apart.

Explosions, roars, and screams were incessant.

Both the Military Martial Artists and the enemies opposite them displayed a frenzied pathology, fiercely tearing at each other.

Meanwhile, Shen Bei sat leisurely behind, watching the show.

After a while,

Shen Bei noticed something was wrong.

In the chaotic battle ahead, a Six-Rank Martial Artist had somehow slipped out and was heading straight for him!
