Chapter 12: The Verge

The man who managed to capture Chen Mu did not know that he had fallen into a siege network of the military and the Witcher Association.

Now he is speeding down the road in an ordinary magic crystal hovering car, and the unconscious Chen Mu is locked in the trunk of the car.

It's 8 o'clock in the morning, and it's been more than an hour since the end of the battle. The man was heading out of the city.

This time, the Demon Hunter Association commissioned three Demon Hunters, who also belonged to the same Demon Hunting Group, to cooperate with the military. They are: Heavy Sword Tian Gang, Witch Lin Xiyuan, and Stick Chu Kunping.

"Tian Gang, is that 'professor' really as powerful as the rumors? Two squad leaders and one squadron leader need to be dispatched to our Burning Sky Demon Hunting Regiment. In the co-pilot, a beautiful woman with long hair asked if she was the witch Lin Xiyuan.

"The professor's combat power is above me, as for how strong it is, it's hard to judge, we haven't fought for a long time, and there are too many interference factors," Tian Gang replied.

"If you're stronger, wouldn't you be better than me, after all, I'm ranked lower than you." The witch said, "But, we've even dispatched our sticks. As she spoke, she glanced at her companion sitting behind her.

It was a white-haired old man wearing a Tang suit, with a calm face, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, and he was the squadron leader of the Burning Sky Demon Hunting Regiment. The old man did not participate in the discussion between the two.

"The horror of 'The Professor' is not in his personal combat prowess, but in the biological weapons he invented. This kind of weapon is too harmful for the state to allow such biological and chemical weapons to be in the hands of people like him. Otherwise, how could this incident alarm the military. Tian Gang said.

"But this time, the military is a bit inauthentic, using innocent citizens as bait." Lin Xiyuan said.

"From the point of view of the big guys, they feel that it is right to make such a small 'sacrifice' for the sake of social stability. But the purpose of our association is to protect the masses, and we don't exchange our lives for them," Tian Gang said.

"Don't worry, we're ......."

"Attention units, the target has changed course."

A chime from inside the car interrupted their conversation. The tracker shows that the target vehicle has turned a corner and is heading towards the edge of the city. Tian Gang drove far away.

"Could it be that the target has been discovered," Ryuzo asked, who was in the command room

"No way, our military headquarters has been deployed for so long, there is no way to make a mistake," the man in military uniform said with a determined face

Ryuzo didn't speak after hearing this, and continued to stare at the screen above.

Soon after, the strange man's hovercar drove into a building on the edge of the city.

"Investigate the information on this building immediately," the uniformed man said.

"This building belongs to XX Company, which was abandoned two years ago because the company went bankrupt. Now it's unmanaged," the subordinates used the fastest speed to give the information that the demobilized man wanted.

"It's sparsely populated, it's the perfect place to make a handover, and the 'Professor' must be in it," the man in military uniform excitedly said, "The first team is on guard in three blocks with the building as the center, the second team occupies the commanding heights, and the special combat team is ready to attack"

"Wait a minute, we have to make sure the hostages are safe first." Ryuzo reminded.

"The hostages will be handed over to your association, and we will be given the order to take down the 'professor' at all costs," the man in military uniform said.

"Company Commander Lin Kun, you really haven't changed, that kind of character who will do anything to achieve the goal." Ryuzo said sarcastically.

"Whatever you may say, but let me remind you that I commanded this operation. Your association has not been able to catch the 'professor' once in the past six months, so it is entrusted to our military, and I will not allow the slightest mistake. The man in military uniform was Lin Kun, and he replied to Long Sandao strongly.

"When the military came into contact with the 'professor' and diverted his attention, we looked for an opportunity to rescue the hostages. Please, "Stick senior," Tian Gang said.

"Hmm," the old man nodded slowly.

The three of them got out of the car in a hidden place, and Tian Gang activated the stealth function of the magic crystal hovering car and cautiously approached the target building with Lin Xiyuan. As for Chu Kunping, he had already disappeared unconsciously. He is the stealth master of the Demon Hunters Guild and the main force in this operation to save the hostages.

The man lifted Chen Mu with one hand and walked up a dark staircase. The abandoned building has long been devoid of electricity, and most of the skin of the walls has fallen off, revealing damp and moldy walls, and even the concrete and steel bars are exposed.

The man looked gloomy, originally thinking that this was a simple commissioned task, but in the end he made himself disgraced.

"It's all to blame on this stinky boy," the man scolded.

After coming to the agreed place. The man saw a middle-aged bald man with an ordinary face and dressed like a teacher, already waiting.

"You're slow" The one who opened his mouth was obviously Chen Mu's homeroom teacher, no, it should be called "professor" now.

"The target suddenly and naturally awakened, and it took me a lot of effort. It's been a long time since I've heard of this kind of naturally awakened human," the man said.

"Oh, it really has an impact on humans," the professor said without explaining in detail, he was more interested in Chen Mu.

"Okay, I've got the target, but we're going to talk about the reward again. This kid is an awakened person, and he can't be calculated according to the price of ordinary people," the man raised Chen Mu in his hand.

"You're not doing this properly," the professor said.

"Then do you still have a living target, the 'dead' target can be cheaper," the man laughed.

After a slight silence, the professor said, "How much do you want to add?"

“30%”

The professor listened without bargaining and operated on the communicator a few times.

"Doodoo" The man's communication device came with a prompt tone, and the man confirmed, "Thank you for your patronage, you can continue to find me next time if you have any commissions"

"There's no next time," the professor said with a look of mystery on his face.

The man ignored it, threw Chen Mu to the professor and turned to leave.

Whoever encounters this kind of incident will be in a bad mood, so when the other party says such words that are not even a threat, he selectively ignores them.

"Because you can't get out of this building," the professor added after receiving Chen Mu.

The man turned abruptly and looked at the professor with a wary expression.

"Don't look at me, you brought the people, don't you really know that you're being followed" The professor couldn't help but laugh.

"Bang", "bang", "bang" continued to smash glass, and a group of well-armed soldiers armed with magic crystal guns burst into the arena from the window, surrounding the three of them.

Looking at the soldiers who suddenly broke in, the man looked stunned, and only then did he realize that he had fallen into someone else's trap.

The professor said indifferently, "With these small fish and shrimp, you can't keep me."

"Then what about us, the Thunder Special Operations Team under the Third Company, the name of the 'Professor' has long been admired" A team of people slowly walked into the encirclement.

The leader is a heroic woman with short ear-length hair, a fair goose egg face with a pair of heroic eyes. Like the nine team members behind her, she wore a well-fitting black combat uniform with a thunderbolt logo on her arm.

The woman had a weapon shaped like a Tang knife hanging from her waist, and the nine team members behind her were men and women, each carrying different weapons.

"Don't dare to be, during this time, your military has really chased me to hide in Tibet, and I can't even do experiments well," the professor said.

"We don't need to say more about these unnutritious words," said the heroic woman, "you are already surrounded by us, let go of the hostages, and take them with your hands tied."

"Who the hell is saying that you are not nutritious, do you want me to answer you and say 'yes' and then go back with you?" the professor said

"Then in that case, we don't have much to say," the sassy woman also guessed the result, and was thinking about how to save the hostages.

In the next second, shouts and gunshots were heard from everyone's headsets.

"Report, report, the first and second teams were attacked, and a large number of demonic beasts appeared. Repeated, we are ......"

The sound of the report was abruptly interrupted, and everything that could be imagined was the fate of the owner of the voice.

"Who's surrounding whom?" the professor laughed wildly, "do you really think I'm unprepared?"

"I'll hand it over to our Thunder Special Combat Team here, and the others will go out to support" The sassy woman pulled out the Tang knife with a sonorous sound, and the other nine team members also took out their weapons to surround the professor and the strange man.

When the rest of the soldiers armed with magic crystal guns heard the order, they all retreated to support the attackers outside the field. Their original mission was only to serve as guards, and only the Awakened could confront the Awakened.

When there were only 12 people left in the empty floor and an unconscious Chen Mu, the atmosphere gradually became solemn, and the battle was about to break out.
