90: Chapter 90: The Arrest Begins!
West Asia Great Forest covers an area of 800,000 square kilometers.
Looking out, rows of dense trees rise from the ground, stretching endlessly; the interior is dark and humid, with sunlight never reaching the ground all day long.
At this moment, Qin Mo stepped over tangled weeds and headed deeper inside.
"Wait, what kind of dump is this? There's not even a path? Isn't Brother Mo afraid of running into trouble with no one around to rescue him?"
"To the person above, are you new here? Does Brother Mo need rescuing? By the time a rescue team arrives, Brother Mo will probably have to save them instead."
"If I were the Streamer, I'd definitely say, 'Don't drag me into your bragging...'"
"Hahaha... I'm dying of laughter. I just watched another contestant; guess what happened?"
"The person above, stop teasing me, or I'll come through the internet cable and punch you a few times."
"Ahem... A contestant was chased with nowhere to run, so he had no choice but to break into a random house. A young couple happened to be doing the deed inside, and his sudden appearance scared the man so badly it caused issues. Now, they're chasing him for compensation."
"Ah? Is it that explosive?"
"Awesome! Are young people these days really that energetic? Doing the big deed in broad daylight?"
"The person above must have been single for too long. Should I tell you about my heroic feat of thirty-two times a day?"
"Heh... Trash! I only do it once a day."
"Brother, are you kidding me? I do it thirty-two times and you do it once, and you're calling me trash?"
"I meant once a day, and it lasts all day!"

"Holy crap?"
...
After a three-hour journey, Qin Mo finally reached the depths of the jungle, beside a wide stream.
The afterglow of the sun filtered through the dense trees, casting light onto the clearing, and Qin Mo squinted his eyes to enjoy the brief warmth.
Afterward, he opened his backpack, took out a tent, and set up camp nearby.
After simply setting up the camp, Qin Mo took out a folding lounge chair, placed it by the river, and took out a fishing line from his pocket, lying on the chair to fish comfortably.
"Wait? What about the criminals? What about the outlaws? I've already taken my pants off, and you're showing me fishing?"
"Is this a manhunt? Anyone who didn't know better would think they entered the wrong stream and are watching the Streamer go on vacation..."
"I have to say, the Streamer knows how to enjoy life. I'm so envious! Jungle, sunshine, riverside, fishing, no one bothering you—if this were my life, you couldn't drag me away even with slaps to the face!"
"The person above, you're watching the stream before finishing your screws?"
"Sorry, I've finished them, heehee!"
"Sorry, I'm your team leader, and I now announce: overtime! Heehee..."
"No heehee! Damn..."
In the blink of an eye, it was night. Qin Mo tidied up a bit, walked into the tent, and fell into a deep sleep.
...
At this moment, in the monitoring room of the police headquarters, several Special Forces Soldiers and Hats were discussing countermeasures.
Li Ming glanced at the Hat who was recording next to him.
"How many people are left uncaptured now?"
The Hat heard this, picked up the list in his hand, and said solemnly, "Report, Captain Li! Eighty-two people have been successfully captured, and eighteen remain at large."
"Very good!"
Li Ming smiled upon hearing this.
Achieving such results on the first day couldn't just be described as "very good."
Subsequently, Li Ming scanned his surroundings and shouted, "Everyone, listen up! We launch a night raid tonight. We must round everyone up by the second day!"
"Understood!"
Everyone replied in unison.
Li Ming nodded with satisfaction, and then everyone left to act according to Li Ming's orders.
"Report, Captain Li, I have an urgent matter to report!"
Just then, a Hat who was checking the computer shouted.
"Speak!"
"I've detected that Number Nine's sensor is currently in the depths of the West Asia Great Forest!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Li Ming was somewhat surprised.
Isn't Number Nine, Qin Mo? He's that bold? Daring to go into the no-man's-land?
Li Ming paused and asked with some confusion, "When did this happen? How did he get there?"
"About two hours ago. Based on travel speed, he might have taken a car there."
Li Ming fell into silence upon hearing this.
If he remembered correctly, the contestants' bank cards and ID cards were confiscated when they entered. Where did he get the money?
Thinking of this, Li Ming said solemnly, "Pull up Qin Mo's entire itinerary for yesterday and today, including everything he did."
The Hat heard this and quickly began typing on the keyboard.
Before long, an itinerary was pulled up.
The Hat took a rough look and was immediately stunned.
"This..."
"What's wrong?"
Li Ming frowned.
"Um... Captain Li, you'd better see for yourself..."
Li Ming walked up to check it out.
...
"Holy crap?"
After a brief moment of silence, Li Ming cursed out loud.
Seeing this, the others curiously walked over to take a look.
Cries of "Holy crap" immediately filled the monitoring room.
A Special Forces Soldier said in disbelief, "This kid is a damn genius!"
"That's right! He made 150,000 in a few hours at the circus, then used that money to buy a huge amount of supplies and took a taxi to the West Asia Great Forest. I really don't know how this kid's brain works."
"Look at the other contestants, then look at him. It's true that comparisons are odious!"
A Hat shook his head, full of amazement.
"By the way... why did this kid participate in this escape? With his ability, couldn't he make 300,000 in minutes?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Ming's mouth twitched...
It was all because Qin Mo made him lose face last time. He thought he could get revenge this time, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face again... Why does he feel like he's just a tool for Qin Mo to show off?
"Ahem..."
Li Ming coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, then said with a serious face, "Who among you is willing to go to the West Asia Great Forest to capture him and bring him back?"
Just as Li Ming finished speaking, many soldiers began to volunteer.
"I'll go!"
"Me too!"
"Count me in!"
...
Subsequently, Li Ming selected nearly twenty Special Forces Soldiers.
There was no other way; Qin Mo was too slippery. He was afraid that something unexpected would happen and he'd run away again. This time, he sent twenty people directly, and they were all battle-hardened Special Forces Soldiers. He didn't believe he could run away!
Immediately, the Special Forces Soldiers simply carried some food, rations, and defensive weapons and headed toward Qin Mo's location.
...
"Hey! Kid, wake up!"
At this moment, in the West Asia Great Forest, Qin Mo was groggily shaken awake by someone.
Afterward, he looked at the person who came with a confused expression.
"You... you..."
After seeing who it was, Qin Mo's pupils suddenly constricted, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
Two middle-aged men had appeared in front of him at some point. The two middle-aged men were wearing black leather jackets, had cold expressions, and were carrying something very long on their backs. Qin Mo could tell at a glance that it was a gun!
What made him even more terrified was that these two people were... terrorists...
