The familiar voice echoed through the headphones. Uncle Zhou was momentarily stunned, suddenly recalling that he was still in contact with Yelai.
At that moment, he remembered he hadn't reached out to Yelai yet. There had been no time; as soon as he joined forces with Zhang Yinlin and the others, he found Captain Zhao possessed by Gaze. The urgency of the situation left him no room to contact Yelai.
Now that Yelai was reaching out, he quickly responded. "Yelai, have you left Hu Family Village? If not, hurry and get out."
"Uncle Zhou, have you met up with Yinlin? What's the situation? I gathered intel from Second Squad; the Anomalous Entity in Hu Family Village is Gaze."
"Huh?" Uncle Zhou froze upon hearing this. "Didn't I tell you to leave Hu Family Village as soon as possible? Why are you still tracking Second Squad? Never mind, just get out of there."
"As for the intel on Gaze, tell me everything you know right now."
Hearing the urgency in Uncle Zhou's tone, Yelai understood. It was likely as he suspected; Uncle Zhou and Yinlin were encountering Gaze.
Yelai glanced at his location tracker. He not only maintained contact with Uncle Zhou but also knew where he was located. He immediately headed toward Uncle Zhou and quickly relayed all the information he had about Gaze.
Although the intel on Gaze contained details unknown to Uncle Zhou, it didn't seem to be of any help given their current predicament. However, there was still useful information for Uncle Zhou and his team.
"Yelai, where exactly is Second Squad in Hu Family Village?" Uncle Zhou asked.
"Are you trying to draw the danger away?"
Yelai instantly understood what Uncle Zhou meant.
This is a plan to reverse the situation and lure Gaze to the Second Squad.
"Yes," Uncle Zhou admitted bluntly.
The current situation is grim; Gaze has possessed Captain Zhao, and it’s not easy for me and Yinlin to deal with them. I was considering using a child to entice Gaze, hoping they would possess the child instead, making it easier for us to handle Gaze.
Fortunately, you contacted me at this moment. I think we can change our strategy and lure Gaze to possess someone from the Second Squad. Although Gaze possessing a Sequencer is somewhat disadvantageous for us, it’s still better than sacrificing a child.
Uncle Zhou's gaze was sharp. He preferred sacrificing an enemy over a child. This could also be seen as revenge for the fallen Captain Zhao and his team.
"Uncle Zhou, the method you mentioned cannot be executed," Yelai interrupted Uncle Zhou's thoughts.
"Why?" Uncle Zhou was momentarily stunned. "Did you lose track of the Second Squad?"
"It's not that I lost track of them; it's that the Second Squad is gone."
"Huh?" Uncle Zhou thought he misheard.
"Uncle Zhou, I killed the entire Second Squad."
Yelai's calm voice came through the earpiece, leaving Uncle Zhou frozen like stone.
"What did you say? The Second Squad is all dead?"
Uncle Zhou's shock made his voice unconsciously rise, but he quickly restrained himself to avoid attracting Gaze's attention. However, he could only manage his voice; his face betrayed his astonishment.
"Are you sure they’re all dead?" Uncle Zhou asked as calmly as possible, trying to regain his composure.
If even one of them was alive, it would change everything. If the Second Squad was completely wiped out, the plan would have to change, and we would have to sacrifice a child to deal with Gaze.
Breathless, Yelai's face turned slightly awkward as he ran. "I'm absolutely certain about this; after all, I crushed their heads."
Uncle Zhou fell silent. His feelings were complicated at that moment; he didn't know whether to be shocked by Yelai's impressive strength or to feel sorrow for having to use a child against Gaze.
"Can you all move now?" Yelai asked at that moment.
"Yes," came the response before Uncle Zhou could say much more. As soon as Yelai heard it, he immediately replied.
