Ha!
Tong Wu roared and unleashed the Overlord Halberd Technique.
He finally killed a few demonic humans who were about to escape before Wang Ye could make a move.
His tall and sturdy body stood upright, and he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
That was close. If he had been a little slower, he would have gotten no achievement points…
Unlike Su Yihan, he had sparred with Wang Ye once. He knew that the latter was very strong, but he didn’t expect him to be even more terrifying in actual combat.
In the blink of an eye, the entire Blood Sucker had been annihilated?
Those three blood-oathed demons were just like three kittens, finished off in a few moves.
“This…” Su Yihan felt numb.
Before she could come back to her senses, Blood Sucker had been wiped out.
Tong Wu managed to kill a few demonic humans, but she didn’t even scratch one. At the end of this, she would only get basic achievement points.
No wonder Xiao Wu ran so fast today. He knew about it long ago…
“Hu…” Su Yihan’s rapidly heaving chest gradually calmed down. She looked at Wang Ye deeply and felt completely different about him.
The rescue team had an incredible rookie!
If she didn’t earn any achievement points, then so be it.
Either way, she did not lack this little bit of points.
As long as they avenged Xiao Jia, it would be fine.
It wasn’t a waste of her and Han Ruobin’s sleepless nights over the past ten days.
She had also thought it through.
To be honest, she was not brainless. Wang Ye had only managed to analyze so much based on her and Han Ruobin’s investigation.
If they hadn’t narrowed down the area step by step, they wouldn’t have been able to find the lair of Blood Sucker even if they had tracked down the traces of the demonic humans.
Right?
“Hmm? Where did Wang Ye go?” Su Yihan suddenly realized that Wang Ye had disappeared.
Tong Wu squeezed out three words after a long time. “Confiscate the goods.”
Wang Ye now understood why the rescue team was so rich.
So the wool came from the sheep!
He had thought that the suitcase of gold that he had obtained from Abyss in the reserve base city was too much, but he had still underestimated the ability of the demonic humans to accumulate wealth.
A whole chest of gold!
Were the three blood-oathed demons going to revolt?
How rich!
Wang Ye simply used the chests that were used to store equipment to store the gold.
He didn’t count them in detail, but there were so many gold bars that it was dazzling.
Wang Ye picked up the chest with one hand. It was about eight times the weight of Anabella.
Excluding the weight of the box itself, based on the current gold price, this chest had to exceed 100 million!
“The middleman really profits.” Wang Ye dug a big hole and buried the chest.
He stepped on the soil till it was firm. As soon as he finished doing so, Tong Wu and Su Yihan came over.
“Five boxes.” Su Yihan opened them one by one.
Tong Wu glanced at Wang Ye’s feet and hesitated.
“Hmm? What is buried here?” Su Yihan saw it too.
“Bones,” Wang Ye said seriously.
Su Yihan nodded and didn’t say anything. She continued to check the boxes.
“Bones inlaid with gold?” Tong Wu was expressionless.
“You’re very smart, huh?” Wang Ye glared at him and saw that one of the boxes Su Yihan had opened contained test tubes with dark red liquid flowing inside. “What are these?”
“Evolver blood.” Su Yihan said.
“What is Blood Sucker saving this for?” Wang Ye was puzzled.
“They didn’t save it,” Su Yihan said. “These should have been traded from Stone
Ocean. The blood of advanced Evolvers is a great tonic for intermediate demonic humans.”
The profit chain was very complete. Each took what they needed.
Stone Ocean treated Evolver as prey, obtaining their blood to strengthen their affiliated demonic human organizations, thus increasing their strength.
Then, they would kill more Evolvers, forming a cycle.
Inhumane.
One day, he would uproot these inhumane organizations!
“Blood Sucker has been destroyed. At least these ten days have not been wasted.” Su Yihan thought about it and couldn’t help but sigh. “I hope Xiao Jia can rest in peace.”
“He can’t.”
Wang Ye’s voice startled Su Yihan and Tong Wu.
“Xiao Jia wasn’t killed by Blood Sucker. It was a mole who killed him,” Wang Ye said.
Su Yihan was confused.
“Why do you say that?” Tong Wu stared at Wang Ye.
“It’s very simple. Xiao Jia died before he could even send a distress signal,” Wang Ye said. “Do the three blood-oathed demons have such strength?”
“Xiao Jia’s strength is on par with mine,” Tong Wu said.
“That’s right. The three blood-oathed demons’ individual strength is almost the same as Xiao Jia’s. Unless the three of them attack together, it’s impossible for him not to have time to call for help.”
Tong Wu looked at Wang Ye.
Did he mean that three of him was not enough to fight him alone?
It seemed to be the case, though…
Tong Wu fell silent.
“It could be that he was ambushed. Or maybe Xiao Jia did not think that he would die. It could also be that the signal was not good. There are too many plausible reasons. That’s just an unfounded guess.” Su Yihan shook her head.
“How do you explain that the last location recorded in Brother Jia’s watch was a distance from where his corpse was found? Demonic humans can’t possibly kill someone and then send the corpse away, right?” Wang Ye said.
“Yes.” Tong Wu nodded. “I don’t think the reason why the watch was damaged is valid either. It’s rare for demonic humans to destroy the watch when killing an Evolver.”
Then why didn’t he say so before?
Su Yihan rolled her eyes.
“So you’re saying that Xiao Jia was killed by the mole, who then destroyed the watch and dragged the corpse far away to be discarded? Why did he do that?” Su Yihan didn’t understand.
To prevent Blood Sucker’s lair from being discovered,” Wang Ye said.
“Isn’t this Blood Sucker’s lair?” Su Yihan was stunned.
Of course not. I checked just now. There are no signs of life here, and there aren’t many monster corpses. At most, they just moved here for ten days to half a month. The suspected encampment that you found earlier should be the real base of Blood Sucker,” Wang Ye said.
Su Yihan was stunned.
She seemed to understand something, but she couldn’t put her finger on it.
“The mole was someone Xiao Jia was very familiar with, and he was stronger than him, so he died very suddenly.” Wang Ye’s eyes were bright. “If I’m not wrong, Xiao Jia must have found some key clues, which is why he was silenced.”
“You mean…” Tong Wu’s pupils dilated, and his body trembled.
“Who is it?” Su Yihan’s head was buzzing.
“Just look around and see who’s not here,” Wang Ye said.
“Captain Xia?” Su Yihan was stunned.
It’s Han Ruobin!” Tong Wu glanced at her, and four words floated across his mind.
Boom!
Su Yihan was on the verge of collapsing.
Even though she and Han Ruobin had never been on good terms and were always at odds with each other, she never thought that the teammate she fought alongside would be a mole!
“Impossible, this is impossible…” Su Yihan muttered.
“You can call him.” Wang Ye glanced at her. “He won’t pick up, of course.”
Su Yihan’s breathing quickened as she frantically dialed the number.
Very quickly, her arm fell, and her pretty face turned pale.
“When did you find out?” Tong Wu looked at Wang Ye.
“The day I saw Xiao Jia’s body. Do you still remember?” Wang Ye said. “When the search area was confirmed, Han Ruobin flew into a fit of rage and left in a hurry.”
The two nodded.
“At that time, he should have informed Blood Sucker to leave their original encampment,” Wang Ye said.
“No wonder…” Su Yihan thought about it and felt that something had indeed felt off.
It was just that they were involved and couldn’t see the matter clearly. They couldn’t consider so much, and they didn’t want to think in that direction either.
Tong Wu looked at Wang Ye, his eyes flickering. “So, you chose me to investigate the matter with you because I’m honest, kind, and soft-hearted, and you were afraid that I would follow in Xiao Jia’s footsteps?”
Wang Ye glanced at him. “No. It’s because you’re weak.”
Tong Wu was speechless.
Su Yihan nodded.
“At that time, 1 didn’t completely eliminate Sister Han as a suspect,” Wang Ye said.” It wasn’t until later that 1 realized that Sister Han is really stu- pure. Then, 1 locked onto Han Ruobin.”
“That’s not what you want to say, right?” Tong Wu ridiculed in his heart.
“So after you caught Ding Ziqiang, you pointed your finger at Brother Bao just to force Han Ruobin to show himself.”
Wang Ye nodded. “He’s too cunning. Even a stupid partner like Ding Ziqiang couldn’t testify against him. 1 knew that even if we investigated him thoroughly, we might not get any results. But he has done too many dirty things. He must be guilty and afraid that he might accidentally leave behind some evidence.”
“The unknown is the scariest, so when we start to investigate the West Camp rescue team and point the blame at Brother Bao, he will definitely take this opportunity to escape. After all, not only is it dangerous to stay here, but after a thorough investigation, it will be even more difficult for him to profit from being a mole. There is also the risk of being exposed. It’s better for him to leave as soon as possible.”
“To where?” Su Yihan was stunned.
To join the Lone Ranger Organizations,” Wang Ye said, “Once he crosses Lu River, he would be considered to have left the Eastern Base City. It’ll be difficult to catch him then. With his selfish personality, he’s most suitable to join Lone Ranger Organizations where he doesn’t have to bear the responsibility of protecting his country.”
Su Yihan immediately pointed at her watch, which showed the other party’s location. “He’s still ar Lu River!”
“Didn’t you notice that the location hasn’t changed?” Wang Ye asked Su Yihan. “He threw the watch into the river a long time ago. Even if you head to Lu River, you won’t be able to find him. You’ll think that he was killed by a hell-level monster in the river. Moreover, in order to buy time, he mercilessly betrayed Blood Sucker this time.”
“He betrayed Blood Sucker?” Tong Wu asked puzzledly.
Yes. Don’t you think it’s such a coincidence? We haven’t found the demonic humans after searching for so long, yet we found them here.” Wang Ye smiled. “He even considered the difficulty for us. We can’t find them too easily because that would make us suspicious, but it can’t be too difficult so that we won’t be able to find them.”
Swoosh!
Their expressions changed.
This… It was too terrifying!
They had never thought that their teammate whom they had been fighting side by side with would be such a scheming person.
However, Wang Ye’s intelligence was almost demonic!
“I’m going to catch him!” Su Yihan gritted her teeth, her face red with anger. “I want to kill him with my own hands and avenge Xiao Jia!”
She was so angry because she had been toyed with, right?
“You won’t be able to catch up to him. He should be heading south along the Lu
River,” Wang Ye said. “Notify the South Base City to intercept him.”
“By the way, where did Captain Xia go with the false information he provided?” Wang Ye suddenly remembered.
“The Beyond Rescue Team received information about Stone Ocean and rushed to Hongling City,” Su Yihan said.
Wang Ye nodded.
Since Han Ruobin was colluding with Stone Ocean, he could definitely make the demonic humans of Stone Ocean appear.
That was not right.
“Hongling City?” Wang Ye was surprised. “The one located at the upper stream of Lu River?”
Wang Ye’s eyes lit up when he checked the map.
So it was like this.
No wonder, no wonder…
Instantly, Wang Ye cleared all his doubts and sighed.
What a greedy fellow.
“Let’s go.” Wang Ye said to the two of them.
“Where are we going? Aren’t we going to inform the South Base City?” Su Yihan asked immediately. She suddenly felt as if she had been possessed by Tong Wu, listening to Wang Ye’s every word and even gave up thinking.
“Not for now.” Wang Ye’s eyes sparkled. “The fish is still here..”
