Chapter 51 The Army Enters the City

No one knew who the first Awakened One was, not even Director Xia Weiguo.

The files on the Awakened One were classified as top secret, and only the director of the Mystery Bureau had the authority to access them.

Unless Director Xia Weiguo became the director of the Mystery Bureau.

"Director, you mentioned that both the Awakened One and the Big White Snake are in Su City. Could there be some connection between them?"

"I'm not sure about that either." Director Xia Weiguo shook his head, his expression returning to a serious state.

"Alright, let's continue with the matter at hand. The issue of the Awakened One is not our responsibility, but the Big White Snake is. How does everyone think we should handle the Big White Snake?"

"Director, I suggest we capture the Big White Snake for study."

"I agree with that suggestion as well."

"The Big White Snake won't be easy to catch! You should know that according to the level classification, the Big White Snake is already at the Calamity level. We must deploy the Military, and if things go wrong, it could cause significant civilian casualties."

"But leaving the Big White Snake alone will also cause significant civilian casualties. Didn't the people in Su City say that the Big White Snake brutally killed dozens of people?"

"That is the case, and I heard he also injured many police officers."

"I think the sooner, the better. We should capture the Big White Snake as soon as possible to avoid further casualties."

"Secretary Song Qingya, what do you think?" Director Xia Weiguo looked at Secretary Song Qingya, who had been silent the whole time.

"Director, the information I received is that although the Big White Snake injured people after escaping, he didn't actually kill anyone. His behavior seems more like he was toying with people.

Now that he has entered the subway and hasn't attacked anyone inside the carriage, rashly attempting to capture him could provoke the Big White Snake. There are several thousand people in the carriages." Secretary Song Qingya stated her analysis based on the information she had received.

"We could wait until the train reaches the next station, evacuate the crowd, and then capture him," someone suggested.

"What if the Big White Snake also follows the crowd and leaves?"

"We can have soldiers lie in ambush and then capture the Big White Snake once he is isolated."

"That would make the capture very difficult. No one knows when the Big White Snake will be isolated, so there's no way to set up an ambush."

"If you ask me, we should try to keep casualties to a minimum and capture the Big White Snake immediately to avoid complications."

"Then will you take responsibility if there are casualties?"

"Why should I be responsible? I'm just making a suggestion."

"Director, if we really must capture the Big White Snake, it would be best to lure him to a remote location. The subway is not a suitable place for a capture."

"Hmm, alright then. Let's have the soldiers lie in ambush in a remote area and then find a way to lure the big snake over there."

After thinking for a long while, Director Xia Weiguo finally decided on the strategy.

"Secretary Song Qingya, I want to send you to Su City to be in charge of this snake-capturing operation." After everyone else had left, Director Xia Weiguo kept Secretary Song Qingya behind.

"Very well, Director." Secretary Song Qingya accepted the task calmly. She was also very interested in the Big White Snake and was happy to be able to participate in the capture herself.

On the Su City Line 1 subway.

Jiang Feng crawled from the middle of the train to the front, passing by hundreds of people and leaving them with indelible psychological trauma.

However, he hadn't been to the back of the train yet, so Jiang Feng turned his snake head around and started crawling back.

The subway passengers, who had finally relaxed, became tense once again.

"Oh my god, why is he crawling back over here?"

"Is he ever going to stop?"

"Hurry and move aside, don't let him bump into you. Such a huge snake, he's freaking terrifying."

[fear points + 40] [fear points + 50] [fear points + 30] ...

"How long until the next station? I don't want to stay here for another second. Who knows if this snake will suddenly go crazy and bite someone?"

"What are you afraid of? There are so many of us, surely we can kill one snake, right?"

"If you're so capable, then you go!"

"Why should I go? He hasn't bitten me."

"Sigh! Everyone just bear with it. Don't provoke this snake."

"Damn it, if I find the owner of this snake, I'm definitely going to doxx him. He has absolutely no civic virtue."

"Who's to say otherwise! Letting such a dangerous snake run wild."

"I just received a message from my cousin; he said the Military has entered the city. Dozens of tanks and over a dozen armored vehicles, fully armed."

"Really? What is this for?"

"It seems to be true. Look online, someone took pictures. The Military has really entered the city."

"Damn, that's intense. Are they about to do something big?"

"Could it be to suppress some rebel forces?"

"Do you think it's possible they are here to catch the snake?"

"What? They need to deploy the Military to catch this snake? I just need to borrow my cousin's excavator, and I could deal with him."

The young cousin looked confident, blindly worshipping his cousin's excavator.

Jiang Feng used his snake eyes to remember this young cousin, but he didn't have the heart to bother with him right now.

The Military entered the city so quickly?

Others might not believe the Military came for him, but he knew exactly what was going on.

It was one hundred percent aimed at him.

What should he do?

Jiang Feng was pondering a way to escape. In reality, he wasn't very afraid.

Because his speed was enough to easily shake off the Military.

However, it would be troublesome if the Military was guarding the subway exits.

The exits were so small; the moment he appeared, he would be completely exposed to their guns.

Although he could withstand pistol bullets, he might not be able to withstand submachine guns, rifles, Gatling guns, and other high-lethality weapons.

Not to mention rocket launchers and high-explosive grenades.

After a round of concentrated fire, he would either be dead or severely maimed.

Even his Evil Snake Domain might not be able to withstand such dense firepower.

Damn, they've really pushed this snake into a corner.

He would take humans as hostages.

Jiang Feng checked his harvest of fear points; it had reached fifty thousand, breaking his historical record.

The bulk of it mainly came from the subway carriages; hundreds of people, with dozens of points from each, added up to tens of thousands of fear points.

Five thousand fear points gave Jiang Feng quite a bit of confidence. He hadn't been to the back of the train yet, so he could still reap another wave.

Moreover, Jiang Feng suddenly felt there was no need to rush out of the subway. He should board a few more trains and harvest more fear points.

He wouldn't have an opportunity like this next time.

A few minutes later, Jiang Feng crawled to the back of the train.

However, by this time, the train had already arrived at the next station. Even though Jiang Feng could continue to stay in the carriage and get fear points from new passengers boarding, but less than half the people had gotten off, and at most two or three hundred new passengers might board, so there wouldn't be many fear points left to squeeze out.

So, Jiang Feng decisively got off the train as well.

"Holy crap, a snake!"

[fear points + 30] [fear points + 20] ...

The giant snake suddenly emerging from the train terrified everyone waiting on the platform.

Without any mental preparation, even a cat suddenly popping out would give someone a little fright, let alone a behemoth of a snake like Jiang Feng.

After crawling down, Jiang Feng went straight to the opposite platform.

He wanted to board the returning train.

After waiting for less than half a minute, the returning train arrived. Without hesitation, Jiang Feng darted inside.

"Ah! A snake."

The familiar screams rang out. To others, it was noise, but to Jiang Feng, it sounded like heavenly music.

Because where there were screams, there was fear, and he loved the sound of people screaming the most.

[fear points + 50] ...
