556: Section 556

After Lin Yi finished speaking, Chu Zhengxiong, Wei Nan, Meng Die, and Yang Biao all furrowed their brows deeply.

After a long while, Chu Zhengxiong said, "You mean they want to fight us to the death?"

Lin Yi shook his head and smiled.

"Who would want to die if they could live?"

"They might not necessarily have the intention of fighting to the death, but it is quite possible they have set a trap for us!"

"Especially Shiquan City, Gumiao City, and Shanyang City!"

"These are the main gathering points for Blood Handprint in the New District, and Gumiao City is their headquarters!"

"The closer we get to their heart, the more fiercely they will counterattack!"

"Therefore, we must be extremely cautious with the remaining cities!"

"Minimize our casualties as much as possible and wipe them all out!"

After he finished speaking, the others all nodded.

Chu Zhengxiong's eyes flashed as he said, "Leave Gumiao City to me; I'll go straight for their heart!"

Lin Yi glanced at him and shook his head, saying, "No one is to touch Gumiao City yet; we must push inward bit by bit!"

"First, take Shanyang, Li'an, and Meitou—these three cities!"

"Then, advance toward Heli, Pingjiang, and Shiquan!"

"Surround Gumiao City for me!"

"Additionally, before we act, contact the Public Security Bureaus of the other cities."

"Tell them all to get out on the streets and patrol!"

"As long as they spot any suspicious individuals, take them all down!"

"At this critical juncture, no other city is allowed to drag their feet, and we certainly won't allow other Blood Handprint members to ambush us from behind!"

"If any city runs into trouble or allows Blood Handprint members to appear, I will hold them accountable later!"

After Lin Yi finished, he looked up at everyone and asked, "Did you all memorize that?"

"Yes, understood!"

"Then perform your duties and get ready to work!"

"This time, as long as we can take down all the remaining cities!"

"The New District will be able to restore its former peace, and the common people won't have to worry about anything anymore!"

"So, this time, give it your all and fight them to the death!"

"As long as they are Blood Handprint members, show no mercy—kill them all, leave none alive!"

"Understood!"

Chapter 365: Layout

Gumiao City is famous for its numerous temples and Daoist monasteries.

Moreover, the temples here all have histories spanning over a thousand years.

Even more exaggerated is that every temple and monastery is bustling with incense offerings.

Believers come from all provinces and cities in the New District.

Those seeking gods and the Dao are endless...

And right inside one of the ancient temples, the flourishing incense outside and the eerie aura behind the temple formed a stark contrast.

A group of Black-robed Men from Blood Handprint were all standing in a room.

In the center sat a person, their hat pulled very low, obscuring half of their face.

The entire room was extremely quiet, eerily so, making one cautious even to breathe.

After a long while, a Black-robed Man rushed in.

He knelt on one knee and said, "The Blood Envoy has arrived!"

Upon hearing this, the person sitting in the center slowly raised their head.

It was the face of a Middle-aged Man, but it looked as if it had been scalded.

Scars had completely ruined his appearance, making it impossible to distinguish his original features.

His eyes gleamed as he glanced toward the outside.

Before long, a faint sound of footsteps could be heard.

Then, three foreigners walked in one after another.

The Middle-aged Man stood up and stepped forward to bow deeply: "Blood Envoy..."

Boom— The next moment, the leading foreigner with blonde hair and blue eyes punched him, sending the Middle-aged Man flying several meters away.

The Blood Handprint members on both sides froze, their gazes all shifting simultaneously toward the three foreigners.

"Trash, just how stupid are you to have played such a great hand so terribly?"

"All the people we've cultivated for so many years have been dug out by the Martial Suppression Bureau and the Monster Hunting Bureau!"

"Now, the strongholds in every city have been uprooted one by one?"

"And you actually have the nerve to sit here?"

The Blood Envoy was furious and began to curse loudly.

The Middle-aged Man clutched his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He forced himself to stand and approached, bowing obsequiously: "The Blood Envoy is right to scold me!"

"This subordinate truly did not expect that..."

"You didn't expect it? Then what about your countermeasures?"

"You think you can just brush it off with a casual 'I didn't expect it'?"

The Middle-aged Man quickly shook his head: "Of course not, this subordinate has already thought of a countermeasure!"

"As long as those people from the Martial Suppression Bureau chase after us again, I will ensure they never return!"

"Hahaha..." The Blood Envoy threw his head back and laughed.

But his eyes were filled with contempt and disdain.

"Based on just you? If you really had that ability, why would you have been beaten into this state?"

"Yang, don't blame me for not warning you; you only have one chance!"

"If even Gumiao City is lost, there will be no need for you to continue existing!"

"There will naturally be someone in the Old District to take over your work!"

"Think it over carefully; either they die, or you do..."

After the Blood Envoy finished speaking, he snorted coldly, glanced at the others, and left with the other two people.

Just as he left, the Middle-aged Man 'puffed' and spat out another mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, the others wanted to help him up.

The Middle-aged Man waved his hand: "Don't worry about me, everyone go and carry out your tasks!"

"The people from the Martial Suppression Bureau will be here soon!"

"Yes!" The Black-robed Men all bowed hurriedly and rushed out.

Only at this moment did the Middle-aged Man sit back down, quickly recovering from his injuries.

...

Shanyang City.

The bustling streets and lively atmosphere all indicated that the public security environment here was quite good.

However, behind the surface, there was often filth and decay.

Meng Die sat in an SUV, holding a hamburger in her hand.
