Hearing this, Shen Zhitao was the first to react. She exclaimed, "Xiao Wei means that the Night Raccoon is just a pawn they placed in plain sight. The real threat is the group that came with Li Mao, who have quietly infiltrated our surroundings. Think about it, my sister has been following Li Mao all along. When did Li Mao sabotage the spotlight's wiring?"
"What about Yiyi?" Shen Zhitao continued. "Who was she last seen with? Who saw her?"
Wang Chao was also anxious at this moment. Just as he was about to reveal himself, he suddenly felt a gust of wind behind him. As a Golden Intermediate, Wang Chao quickly reacted, turning around and raising his hand to block. In an instant, a powerful strike landed on his arm, sending him staggering backward.
The members of the Bioterrorism Security Department heard the sounds of the struggle and turned to see Wang Chao being knocked back. They rushed forward to help him up. "Be careful! There's a master behind us, their strength is no less than Golden!" Wang Chao warned. At this moment, his own strength had reached Golden Intermediate; even if someone ambushed him, it shouldn't have been enough to push him back so far.
"Golden Level?" The crowd gasped in astonishment. Previously, Commander Yu, who was at Silver Upper Tier, had nearly caused their demise in Jing City with his solo efforts. Now that a Golden Level expert had arrived, how could anyone here hope to escape? But when they looked into Wang Chao's eyes, they were shocked to discover that his strength had already reached Golden Intermediate!
"Brother Wang, you've reached Golden Intermediate level?" Xiao Wei exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Wang Chao. "That raises our chances of winning! Our last hope rests solely on you!" They were unaware that Wang Chao had experienced life and death situations in the Safe Zone and had gained incredible strength from those risks—truly, the greater the risk, the greater the reward.
At that moment, another voice rang out: "Night Raccoon! Third Brother! Night Raccoon has been killed!"
"What?" Third Brother stepped forward and saw Night Raccoon's corpse. He cursed under his breath and said, "I arrived too late." They didn't realize that they weren't late at all; it was just that Xiao Wei had acted decisively. At this point, Wang Chao focused his gaze and recognized Third Brother as the timid man he had seen earlier at the Survivor camp.
"So it's you?" Wang Chao said.
After confirming that Night Raccoon was dead, Third Brother no longer lingered and laughed mockingly. "Ha! You only just figured it out? It's too late now..." As he spoke, Third Brother locked eyes with Wang Chao. Both felt an overwhelming shock but neither showed it outwardly. Wang Chao was astonished because he never expected this Third Brother—who was at Golden Lower Level—was that cowardly man who had been hiding in the Safe Zone without anyone suspecting him!
Truly, as one rises in skill, so does the cunning of their adversaries; such schemes were buried too deeply.
Third Brother's shock stemmed from witnessing Wang Chao's rapid ascent from Silver Upper Tier to Golden Intermediate within just a few hours. This swift upgrade left Third Brother astounded! He suddenly recalled that just months ago, Wang Chao had only recently broken through to Silver level! If he didn't eliminate Wang Chao quickly now, it would spell disaster for him in the future!
"Wang Chao," he said, "where is Yiyi?"
Hearing this, Third Brother burst into laughter and said, "Now you remember? Eagle Eye, bring her here!" As he spoke, Eagle Eye appeared in the distance, leading Yiyi with him, allowing everyone to see her clearly.
"Yiyi! How are you?" Wang Chao shouted.
"I'm fine!" Yiyi replied. Wang Chao felt a sense of relief wash over him, then asked, "What do you want from me?"
Third Brother replied, "What I want is simple. You pick up your weapon and go to the hiding place in the back mountain to start a massacre. Then, I will step in and defeat you. I know you're at the Golden Intermediate level now, but you need to think carefully. Yiyi is in our hands. If you want her to be safe, you'd better do as I say; otherwise, you should know the consequences."
Wang Chao's expression darkened. At that moment, Xiao Wei spoke up, "It's all my fault. If I had thought of this sooner, Yiyi wouldn't have been captured. It's all my fault." With that, Xiao Wei knelt down and began pounding the ground with his fists, looking both guilty and heartbroken. Wang Chao knew that Xiao Wei had feelings for Yiyi, just as he would do anything to protect Yang Mengying.
Xiao Wei was on the verge of breaking down; his intelligence was over two hundred, and he had never faced such a blow before!
"I won't accept this!" Those four words were forced out of Xiao Wei's mouth.
"You won't accept it?" Third Brother laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. He continued laughing uncontrollably before saying, "You little brat, what gives you the right to challenge me? During these days in the Safe Zone, I've seen through you completely; you're nothing but a waste! By the way, I want to ask you a question: if you can't even see this much, you'd better stick to being a little brat."
"What?" Xiao Wei lifted his head, tears streaming down his face and mixing with the dirt stuck to his skin. He looked like a mud doll—disheveled and pitiful—completely unlike the tidy and carefree Xiao Wei everyone knew.
"Do you know what that Big Bad Wolf has been up to?" Third Brother said casually.
At this point, Wang Chao's heart sank. He realized that Little Wolf was most likely off looking for that Red Fox. But hearing this question from Third Brother's lips shocked him; could it be that Third Brother knew as well? Or was there something more?
Xiao Wei stood there, stunned by Third Brother's words. She had never considered Little Wolf, and naturally had no idea where he had gone. However, hearing Third Brother's question made her realize that she must have overlooked something; otherwise, he wouldn't have asked in such a manner. With this thought in mind, Xiao Wei replied, "I really don't know..."
Third Brother snorted coldly and said, "It's spring now, and many animals are in heat, including wild wolves. It seems you are no exception either. I already knew that Little Wolf's strength is at the Silver Upper Tier level. If we don't find a little fox to distract him, it could lead to serious trouble. My calculations are meticulous and flawless, while yours are full of holes!"
