Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Praying Mantis and the Cicada and the Yellow Sparrow?

There was once a very famous football star who once said that he had seen the sun at three o'clock in the morning on the beach.

At this time, Lu Shen was standing under the morning glow at half past four in the morning, looking back at the coastline.

From here, head west and you'll reach the junction between east and west.

Walk all the way, through a narrow chain of islands, and you will be your hometown.

"I don't know if there is my hometown in this dungeon!"

Lu Shen looked at the far end of the sea level slightly intoxicated, he knew that this time the place of trial had followed the map he had traveled before!

So he was sad.

Soon, though, he was out of the immersion.

He didn't come here to see the sea, much less to be sentimental.

It's about exploring Thomas's mansion.

He had already followed the map to find the residences of the other five addresses, and had confirmed that there was no Thomas he was looking for!

So he found here, the last point!

To the west of the city, there is a coastline of small cliffs.

When Lu Shen came here, he had to marvel at the rebellious transformation of nature by human beings.

In this narrow coastline, there are many blocks.

From the point closer to the interior, there are luxury communities inhabited by humans.

However, the closer you get to the shoreline, the more sparse and luxurious the houses become.

Judging by the information given by Old Adam, Thomas's mansion is at the highest point of this small cliff.

He looked from the seaside boardwalk to the highest point here, and easily saw the mansion standing on the top of the highest cliff.

A building that looks like a futuristic world.

Even in the world he once lived in, it was not out of place, and the design was still ahead of its time.

"Gotta find a way to get there!"

Lu Shen thought, his gaze following the seaside plank road to the bottom of the cliff.

However, to his surprise, the plank road seemed to be cut off at the bottom of the cliff.

Except for the tarmac on the mansion and the back door near the inland side, all the roads were blocked.

Lu Shen took a general look, if he reached the location below the cliff, the Eye of Detection would only be able to probe the periphery of the mansion.

To see more, you need to advance at least another fifty meters or more.

He roughly analyzed the shape and layout of the mansion.

Thomas most likely spends his life in the building in the center of the mansion, and the buildings in other locations are more like the residences of servants and other family members.

Lu Shen was worried about how to get there when his automatic rifle poked him from his bag.

His eyes lit up!

"yes, I have a scope, with that thing, and the Eye of Scouting, will I be able to extend the sight range a little longer?"

Thinking of this, he immediately took off the quadruple lens mounted on the rifle.

Look into the right eye!

And it turned out to be an egg!

There is no direct connection between the machines of this era and the skills that are beyond the scope of humans.

He had to think of something else.

He leaned on the railing with his hands on the railing, and from time to time he looked over the cliff side of the mansion.

However, it didn't take long for him to be targeted.

"Huh?" Lu Shen frowned, and then subconsciously leaned down.

However, a red line shone directly from a distance.

Then a light lit up him and everything within five meters of him.

"That man, what are you doing there?"

There's a tower on the other side?

Lu Shen never expected that Thomas's mansion had already achieved this level?

The other party was questioning himself, he chuckled in his heart, and began to think about running or maneuvering?

"This is the private domain, you have gone beyond the public area, please answer my question, or I will shoot you in the name of trespassing!"

The tone on the other side instantly cooled down after a few seconds of Lu Shen's silence.

Although separated by a distance of more than two hundred meters, Lu Shen still really heard the sound of the other party's gun being loaded.

His brow furrowed, and he felt the urge to raise his gun first.

However, it occurred to him that his mission was to kill at close range, and it was not wise to engage from a distance.

At the tower, a security guard with a high-powered searchlight was picking up his binoculars and preparing to get a good look at the sneaky people on the boardwalk below.

However, to his surprise, something happened.

The guy who was originally very conspicuous under the searchlight suddenly went dark.

The security guard felt that the brightness of the searchlight had been raised.

But when he looked again, the figure had miraculously disappeared?

"What's the situation?" He was shocked.

Immediately pick up the walkie-talkie and call someone.

"There is a situation, the patrol team on the east side will go over and see if there is a person there who has just run up from the plank road!"

As soon as the security guard's voice fell, a team of people ran out of a dark castle on the east side of the mansion.

Instead of flashlights, they were equipped with night vision imagers.

"Are you sure you see someone?" The team leader asked with a frown.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for someone who is seen by the tower to run away from under the nose of the other party.

However, the other person said, "It was as if the man had disappeared in place!" I'm not sure if that's a person! ”

"What?"

"Are you kidding me?"

"No, please check carefully!"

"Okay!" The team leader groaned a little, but continued to lead the people towards the beach.

It turned out that just now, when Lu Shen was shrouded in a searchlight, he suddenly activated his "hidden" skill!

Once this skill is activated, his person will gradually disappear into the surrounding environment.

Just like a chameleon.

Lu Shen immediately evacuated there after opening the concealment.

He knew that his concealment skills were not proficient enough, and if the other party increased the brightness of the searchlight, then he would probably not be able to escape.

However, when he escaped the range of the searchlight, he was about to hide in the woods.

His Eye of Detection reacted.

"Who is that?"

Lu Shen's brows furrowed, and he lay on the ground, trying to calm himself down.

At the eye of the reconnaissance, there were about one or two dozen heavily armed guys hiding at the top of a small cliff more than sixty meters away from him.

"It's strange, what are these people doing here?" He was wondering when there seemed to be movement on the hill to the west.

A team of twelve emerged from a well-camouflaged bunker and was groping their way in their direction.

Lu Shen froze slightly, he knew that the other party should have received the news from the tower and came to check on himself.

However, he was not in a hurry to run.

Because there was a mysterious armed contingent of twenty people in front of him.

His instincts told him that the two teams did not belong to the same master.

And most likely, two hostile forces.

He estimated that someone had picked the same day to come over and settle accounts with Thomas!

He lay quietly on his stomach, waiting for the two armies to meet on a narrow road.

As for who wins and who loses, he doesn't care, all he has to do is take advantage of the chaos and run to the bunker.

There's a good chance there's a passage to the mansion, right?

Just as he was thinking this, the team of twelve suddenly stopped.

No less than three of them repeatedly held a model that resembled thermal imaging.

"Attention all!" The squad leader suddenly let out a low roar.

The team all lay down.

And more than 20 people hiding not far from them also lay on the ground.

At this moment, the team leader took out something that resembled a walkie-talkie.

It was this action of his that caused the hidden team of twenty to attack!

"Fire!"
