"Where are you going? It's so dangerous outside; you shouldn't be wandering around." Liu Lianyue said urgently as she watched Yang Xiaoyou turn toward the exit.
The group of Militants outside had not yet searched inside, but they had completely controlled the entrances and exits of the building. The only reason they hadn't come in was due to their numbers; for now, the position everyone was in was relatively safe.
"They won't resist if we surrender peacefully, right? I'm going," Yang Xiaoyou replied, her tone somewhat hollow.
"You! You spineless fellow." Hearing this, Liu Lianyue felt a surge of frustration. This fellow didn't even consider her or that Demoness.
Liu Lianyue was well aware of the impact her appearance and figure had on others. In a peaceful environment, many would be drawn to her, let alone in a situation like this.
Even if she complied and behaved herself, who could guarantee safety? Especially when dealing with Terrorists; discussing credibility with them was pointless.
"To ensure maximum safety, it’s indeed better to follow their lead. The boys here should be able to go without much risk, but for the girls... well, it’s best to wait and see. Teacher Wu, please take a group of students who agree to go with you. Our priority now is to ensure the students' safety," Zhao Liang said thoughtfully, his bandaged arm resting on the table as he addressed the male teacher who had been handling things backstage.
Although no one present was under any restrictions, Zhao Liang understood that it would be impossible to get this panicked group of students to act decisively without significant risk involved.
The teacher named Wu, whose face was somewhat pale but who still maintained a calm demeanor for the nearby students, nodded in agreement.
This was a school, and as a teacher, his responsibility was to prioritize the safety of the students.
Under the arrangement of the two teachers, many boys and a few girls who were somewhat more developed stood behind Teacher Wu, while the majority of girls and a few boys who had some skills and volunteered for protection stood beside Zhao Liang.
However, during the final division, Zhao Liang noticed that Yang Xiaoyou was already missing. He immediately began to ask around, "Where is Yang Xiaoyou?"
He had a good impression of that somewhat shy student.
"She slipped away during the chaos," Liu Lianyue said gloomily, seemingly feeling quite disapproving of that unprincipled and spineless fellow.
Meanwhile, a strange look flashed in Liang Wuxuan's eyes; he had also left the team alone back in Kapa City.
As Yang Xiaoyou hurried through the corridors of the Conference Building, she ignored the nearby students who were occasionally passing by in a panic, seemingly trying to find a hiding place. She focused solely on running toward the center of the Conference Building.
Arriving in front of a tightly locked office in the middle of the conference room, she confirmed that there was no one inside. In an instant, her legs released their limitations, and she kicked the office door open with a force that shattered it.
The reinforced wooden door was completely broken into a passage wide enough for one person to pass through, yet the lock beside it remained intact, indicating just how powerful her kick was.
Without hesitation, after entering the office, Yang Xiaoyou leaped onto the windowsill. After taking a calm glance around her surroundings, she jumped down from a height of six or seven meters. Extending her legs to either side and using her hands to brace against the ground below, she absorbed the impact that would have broken an ordinary person's bones and reached the ground floor safely.
"Tsk. The infrared anti-explosion cameras—those guys with their equipment," she muttered as she spotted a hidden camera among the treetops in the distance. Yang Xiaoyou confirmed the specific identity of this group.
Among the four teams that had disappeared, one specialized in various battlefield support equipment. Their ability to install cameras in important locations within such a short time showcased their strong operational capabilities.
Immediately, all the pores on Yang Xiaoyou's body tightened, and her body temperature dropped sharply as if she had transformed into a cold-blooded creature absorbing heat from her surroundings. She stealthily moved outside using some cover to find blind spots for the cameras.
Even with cover providing protection, cameras could usually outline hidden figures through infrared imaging. However, at this moment, they completely lost their efficiency and failed to detect the figure moving right beneath their noses.
"Captain, how is target processing going?" asked a bearded white man from within a school broadcasting room as he stumbled over his words into the intercom.
"Effective control has been established; we are currently sweeping for any remaining targets," came the response from another end of the intercom regarding another target's situation.
"Very well, can we notify the Official now?" Upon hearing this outcome, the bearded man revealed a sinister smile on his face.
"What! Say that again?! Today is not April Fool's Day!" The Police Chief of Q City was completely taken aback by his subordinate's report. A terrorist attack? What kind of international joke was this!
After receiving a confirmed response and seeing the serious expressions on his subordinates' faces, Fang Shao's expression darkened.
Not long ago, they had just conducted a large-scale crackdown, and now they were faced with such a result. This was a blatant slap in the face, especially since it occurred at the Royal Academy of Basic Studies and Yuying Middle School—two prestigious institutions. If this wasn't handled properly, his position would be in jeopardy.
"Set up a security perimeter. We must ensure that no one escapes. The Special Operations Team should be ready; fire authority is delegated to individuals. Depending on the situation, they can engage without prior notification. Additionally, contact the Armed Police Unit; we may need their assistance if necessary. Prepare negotiation experts to ascertain what they intend to do," Fang Shao instructed after taking a deep breath.
If it weren't for the gravity of the situation, he wouldn't want to contact the Armed Police Unit right now. However, thinking about the hostages, he ultimately decided to request their assistance, fearing that they might not be able to handle the current situation alone.
This shocking news triggered an all-out operation within the police system of Jiang City. Even special units were mobilized, completely cordoning off the areas surrounding both schools.
Currently, the police's Negotiation Expert was attempting to communicate with the kidnappers inside.
The Special Operations Team, responsible for handling similar emergencies, was also on standby, gathered in the command vehicle and continuously discussing infiltration strategies.
While the negotiation expert engaged with the kidnappers, another team was formulating an attack and rescue plan. The goal was to approach from both sides; primarily, the negotiation expert aimed to divert the kidnappers' attention while ultimately relying on the Special Operations Team to deliver a decisive blow.
"The surveillance rooms in these two schools are comprehensive. We must infiltrate their network and disable all cameras before we can proceed; otherwise, they might threaten the students," Captain Ge of the Special Operations Team stated as he stood in front of a Three-Dimensional Electronic Map of Yuying Middle School, marking areas on it with his fist.
Meanwhile, several police technical personnel were rapidly typing away at their computers. There was communication between the kidnappers; therefore, the infiltration had to occur simultaneously at both schools—a challenging test. Ideally, they would wait for support from armed police before acting together.
However, time was of the essence. If they took swift action while the kidnappers believed they were still unprepared, it could yield surprising results.
"Second-in-Command, several fellows seem to have breached the network; it looks like they're trying to disable the surveillance room. Should we eliminate them?" A Skinny Man sitting in front of a laptop adjusted his glasses and spoke in a mocking tone.
"Let them go," said the man with a beard, who was using a dagger to groom his facial hair, his tone dripping with sarcasm.
However, he was quickly interrupted by a report from one of his subordinates. "Vice Captain, we have lost contact with three members. Two of them have already been found dead, one strike, instant kill, the technique was quite skilled."
"Tch, I underestimated the security here. I didn't expect there would be such capable individuals. Find this rat for me, dead or alive." Upon hearing this report, a shadow flickered in the eyes of the Bearded Man. Several of the security personnel at Cleaned Up School had already been injured.
But this time, there had actually been fatalities, which was truly unforgivable.

Tragedy. My judgment of good and bad people in the Review Area can only be based on their previous comments in other Review Areas. Recently, there have been several instances of all negative reviews from Alternate Accounts. Last time, someone even criticized others for not flattering him; he claimed to have integrity. Isn't that just ridiculous? I don't want to flatter him either. Sigh, my resilience is quite good, but sometimes it makes me furious. No wonder some newcomers can't handle the pressure.
(To be continued.)
