They were momentarily stunned.
They couldn't understand why Uncle Zhou was calling Yelai to chase.
But in the next second, they realized.
The direction that Gaze was fleeing was towards Xiaoli and the others! Uncle Zhou exclaimed urgently.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yinlin and the others' expressions changed drastically, and they immediately turned to call Yelai to pursue.
However, as soon as they turned their heads, they felt a blur before their eyes.
Yelai had already shot out like an arrow released from a bow, his fingers gripping the walls of the houses as he exerted immense force with both hands, instantly leaping onto the rooftop of a three-story building.
In just a few seconds, Yelai, relying on his astonishing explosive power, jumped from one house to another, leaving Zhang Yinlin and the others' line of sight.
"Let's go, we need to catch up!"
Uncle Zhou held the tracker, anxiously watching the moving red dot on the screen.
Xiaoli and the others were very close to them.
Calculating the few seconds since Gaze had left, that distance was enough for Gaze to approach Xiaoli and the others.
Uncle Zhou quickly pressed the button on his earpiece to contact Xiaoli and her group.
At the same time, five hundred meters away from Uncle Zhou's group, Xiaoli and her team were hurrying towards Uncle Zhou's location as planned.
"We're almost there; just a few hundred meters until we meet up with Uncle Zhou."
Xiaoli held Xiao Jun in her arms while checking Uncle Zhou's location on her phone with her other hand.
Compared to their anxiety, Xiao Jun and the other three children were still unaware of what they were about to face; they were immersed in their dreams of becoming heroes, recording videos along the way with their phones.
"Then let's quicken our pace and hurry to meet up with Uncle Zhou," one of the team members suggested.
Suddenly, Xiaoli raised her hand, signaling him to be quiet.
As she placed her hand on the headphones over her ears, another team member understood that it was Uncle Zhou sending a communication.
"Uncle Zhou, we will—"
As soon as Xiaoli connected the call, she was about to report to Uncle Zhou, but in the next moment, Uncle Zhou's urgent voice came through the headphones first.
"Xiaoli! You all need to get out of there! The Gaze is heading your way! Get out now!!!"
The shout from the headphones was loud, ringing in Xiaoli's ears. However, she had no time to think about the ringing; her body jolted as she was horrified by Uncle Zhou's warning.
At the same time that Uncle Zhou warned Xiaoli, Xiao Jun, who was filming their surroundings with his phone, suddenly froze. On his phone screen, something moved in front of them, charging toward them.
Seeing this, Xiao Jun quickly shifted his gaze away from the screen and looked ahead.
"Ah!!!!"
He screamed in terror. It was—it was that Anomalous Entity!
Ahead of them, Captain Zhao, possessed by the Gaze, was rapidly crawling across the ceiling. As if sensing something, its strangely transformed eyeballs turned and locked onto Xiaoli and the others on the road not far away.
The situation unfolded so suddenly that Xiaoli and her team couldn't avert their eyes in time. Their gazes met for a brief moment.
Perhaps sensing the approaching Yelai at an alarming speed, the Gaze instinctively abandoned its strongest possession of Captain Zhao without hesitation. It directly pushed open the mental window of one of Xiaoli's fellow Sequencers.
Although Xiaoli and her team were still over a hundred meters away from the Gaze, mental windows knew no distance. The moment they connected through the Gaze, their minds intertwined.
