"Hey, look who it is, Tsk Tsk, isn't that the Revenant's red card for clients? Turns out you're still alive." Among the three who burst through the door, a man with a parted hairstyle and brown hair that looked as if it had been styled with gel leaned against a shooting blind and broke the tense silence.
At that moment, a massive crack was clearly visible in the wooden two-story farmhouse near the staircase on the second floor. Meanwhile, Yang Xiaoyou and his group, who had entered through the crack, were scattered under the stairs. However, if they wanted to go upstairs, they would inevitably fall within the range of their opponent's attack while maneuvering around.
Hearing such a provocative tone, Shadow of Death showed no expression on his face. He simply addressed Yang Xiaoyou indifferently, saying, "Hakim, Interpol, we collaborated on a mission back in Chapter 354. Your strength was above my personal capabilities at that time."
Although it was just a few words, it revealed enough information to Yang Xiaoyou.
Clearly, the person they had encountered earlier who claimed to be from Interpol was him. However, he hadn't expected that he would have companions. Since Shadow of Death had surpassed him in strength back then, it indicated that after his recent breakthrough, he wouldn't lose to this opponent even alone.
Previously, Shadow of Death and Charming Shadow mostly acted together. Even if this Hakim was merely an intervenor and not the assassination target, his ability to escape from both of them was undeniable.
The most crucial point was that at such a time, using stealthy methods to appear here suggested that their objectives might be quite similar.
"Hey, recently Revenant must have caught wind of your survival. It seems you've successfully betrayed your master. So, when did you join Black September?" Chewing betel nut, Hakim spoke with what seemed like mockery but also carried an element of probing.
The other two who entered with him remained silent.
"Well, probing back and forth isn't ideal; let's be straightforward. Our objectives should be roughly aligned. Both Ming and the other two are employed by those two white horses you saw yesterday. Alright then, to show my sincerity, I'll step out first. My role in this mission is just as an informant." After hearing the other party's words, Yang Xiaoyou felt more certain about his initial guess. He then began to speak while slowly stepping out from behind cover, spreading his arms to indicate he was unarmed.
In a situation where both sides were armed and facing each other down, stepping out early from cover indeed demonstrated considerable sincerity; however, everyone knew this yet no one dared to take such a lead.
Seeing that the other side had already done so, Hakim decisively lowered his weapon and stepped forward. However, his two companions still remained hidden in the shadows.
"I've been lurking here for quite some time before I finally found clues nearby. I didn't expect your two companions from yesterday to be so outstanding; they found this target in just half the time. Alright. Now that Although those monsters outside have mostly been drawn away by that captain fellow, we should still move quickly; your actions are too violent."
After stepping out, Hakim appeared somewhat surprised at how openly those two had come asking questions yesterday. It was indeed peculiar that they could find such clues—were they perhaps hiding their true capabilities?
Seeing the decisive choice made by the other party, Yang Xiaoyou's eyes flickered slightly. He was confident that even if the other side turned hostile, he could evade and counterattack or even take them down directly. This fellow knew that Shadow of Death was here yet still dared to show himself; there was undoubtedly a significant amount of courage involved in that decision. His words also indicated that they hadn't come to the wrong place after all.
"What clues? Is there really a problem here? If there is, there should be enough people nearby to defend it," Afifah couldn't help but step forward to ask.
"Uh, you guys don't know why we're here? Just a coincidence?" Hearing the words of the alluring girl, Hakim's expression stiffened for a moment.
"Hehe, it seems our informants are indeed doing quite well," Lucas also stepped out at this moment. Among the remaining two from the other side, one had separated, leaving only one in the shadows.
As Lucas spoke, he patted Yang Xiaoyou on the shoulder and then winked at the international police officer, teasing, "Our informants just took a map and casually sketched a few lines before pinpointing the problem location. It's just two buildings over, right? Hehe."
After roughly confirming that Both Sides had a common target, Lucas appropriately revealed some information to avoid being underestimated. Undoubtedly, in this situation, Aspects held the initiative, and cooperation could add considerable leverage.
This frankness also served as a warning not to take him and his team lightly.
Upon hearing the chatter from Blackie, Hakim's face flashed with a hint of emotion as he looked at Yang Xiaoyou with an odd expression.
If the other party had decisively taken risks (in the fog), it would show their courage. To find the approximate location solely based on a map was indeed impressive. The target site was separated by two buildings, and they had chosen this place as well, demonstrating excellent timing.
The farmhouse not only stood close to the target location but also became the most vulnerable spot after most of their fellows had left outside. Choosing to enter at this moment meant they were taking advantage of a nearly vacuum-like defense.
Initially dismissing their wall-breaking actions as reckless and contemptible, it now appeared that they had accurately calculated the wall-breaking movements and the patrol range around them. Their boldness was matched by meticulous attention to detail that bordered on obsessive.
Although this fellow seemed weak in direct combat strength, their effectiveness was undeniable.
Meanwhile, Yang Xiaoyou merely wore an innocuous smile that even made Hakim feel a bit uneasy.
However, he failed to notice that even Lucas's lips twitched slightly at such a smile. The image of a nearly dismembered corpse flashed through his mind; at that moment, this fellow had worn a similar smile.
When both sides' last two members finally emerged and saw the bloodstains from Palm's bandaging left behind by the other party, Shadow of Death raised an eyebrow.
It was clear that the person struck by the Shadow of Death during the ambush at the hotel was this individual.
When this revelation emerged, the previously relaxed atmosphere between Both Sides became tense once again, and it was ultimately Yang Xiaoyou and Hakim who intervened to defuse the situation.
According to Hakim, he and this group of Mossad agents had not come together; they had encountered each other by chance. The one who had drawn the attention of the mutated creatures outside was the leader of the Mossad team, whose strength surpassed even Hakim's.
Although Both Sides were beginning to experience significant discord—especially since the high-profile figure assassinated in the United Arab Emirates had been marked as a Mossad hit—the personnel from Hive Security Company were not inclined to get involved in such grievances. As for that Arab Sister, despite her intentions to incite trouble, her ability to stir conflict was limited.
Under external pressure, Both Sides managed to maintain a delicate balance and cooperation.
After all, on the surface, although there were Lucas and Shadow of Death on this side, they had not completely subdued their opponents. Engaging in a fight in such a place would clearly be unwise.
There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Just yesterday they had clashed, and now there was a trend towards cooperation, which was indeed somewhat absurd.
With Hakim, an Interpol agent specifically investigating the Virus Incident and a United Nations Commissioner present, his purpose for being here was evident.
The location that Yang Xiaoyou had initially marked out, which seemed unclear in its significance, turned out to be the core 'laboratory' of the entire town. Well, calling it a laboratory might be an exaggeration; it could also be referred to as a slaughterhouse. However, there was no doubt that firsthand information regarding the virus could be obtained from there.
Moreover, the shielding system that covered the entire town was also installed at that location.
