"Bai Ye!" Jin Sha poked her head out and said, "Get in the car!"
Bai Ye nodded and quickly opened the passenger door and got in.
"Sorry!" After Bai Ye got in, Jin Sha apologized, "I lost Alex."
"It's okay, I didn't expect it to be so easy to handle in the first place," Bai Ye said, "Did you lose your Scyther too?"
Jin Sha said, "I have a general idea of the area. I asked Scyther to search from the air, but I haven't found them yet. The other party abandoned their car and entered a building, so there's nothing I can do."
Aerial surveillance isn't foolproof. Entering a building is a good way to evade it. Scyther doesn't have x-ray vision.
Bai Ye said, "Once they enter a building, they can't leave the city quickly. Moreover, there are surveillance cameras everywhere in the city. Moving on foot will be troublesome, and the police will be on their tail. Carrying Alex will also make them conspicuous. Now that the guy has appeared in the media, the whole city knows what Alex looks like, so the outcome isn't too bad."
Jin Sha nodded and said, "What should we do now?"
Bai Ye said, "I need to think about it. I don't have any clues yet."
Jin Sha looked puzzled. She always felt that Bai Ye had some kind of foresight. He shot down the helicopter, got the police radio, and obtained clues from the police, but instead of following the Rhys family, he went directly to their underground bar. Bai Ye always seemed to be one step ahead.
But now Bai Ye said he had no clues?
Did this mean his foresight ability was gone?
Or did the ability have usage limitations?
Bai Ye was actually quite troubled. After the incident with the chosen one in the underground bar, the situation had deviated from his previous life. Therefore, he couldn't rely on memory anymore and had to rely on thinking.
Bai Ye thought for a moment and said, "We need to get a map first."
"I have one!" Jin Sha opened the car's glove compartment and said, "There's one in this car. I just left it in here."
Bai Ye took out the map and quickly looked it over, soon circling a few areas.
"There are three routes to leave the city," Bai Ye said. "After crossing the Red Gate Bridge, you can leave by driving straight for about a kilometer. The second route is to leave through the underground highway on the east side, then drive for about three kilometers. After passing through the tunnel, you'll reach the edge of the city. The last route is to take the overpass and then the ring road. After about 1,500 meters, you'll see the boundary line."
Bai Ye asked, "Which area did the people who took Alex go into?"
"Pompeii Avenue," Jin Sha replied. "It's near the Red Gate Bridge, close to the Roy Docks. Judging by the area, it's most likely that they want to leave via the Red Gate Bridge."
"That's understandable," Bai Ye said. "The Red Gate Bridge is the fastest route out of the city. Although it's the least concealed and most likely to be spotted, I think most people would rather take the chance. Even if they are discovered, they can try to force their way through. The other two routes are more complex, and once they are discovered halfway, it's difficult to force their way out."
Jin Sha asked, "What if they choose to hide first and then find an opportunity to break out? After all, it's too easy to be targeted now."
Bai Ye thought for a moment and said, "Probably not."
Jin Sha asked, "Why? This no-go zone doesn't have a time limit. I think delaying the time is also a strategy. For example, now, people who are interested should know what area they are in, but if time drags on, it will be difficult for people to pinpoint their location, the search area will expand, and their chances will increase."
Bai Ye sighed and said, "Because of the police!"
In this competition, the core was the chosen ones.
But don't think it was that simple. The existence of other forces wasn't meaningless.
Those gangs, villains, and drug lords' subordinates were all disruptors, increasing the difficulty for the chosen ones. And the police?
Those in uniform were the most difficult to deal with.
Surveillance, tips, and a large number of personnel. As time passed, the police's patrol network would constantly expand. Bai Ye had only shot down one helicopter, and many more patrol helicopters would join the operation.
Admittedly, it was difficult for the police to capture the chosen ones, but the police's movements were equivalent to providing guidance to other chosen ones. Therefore, as the police deployment gradually took shape, things would become increasingly difficult.
In his previous life, Bai Ye had suffered because of this. Although he had participated in the city-wide chaotic no-go zone, he hadn't succeeded in the end. At the last moment, his whereabouts were exposed, and others succeeded. The hundred million he was supposed to get just slipped away.
Therefore, Bai Ye knew how intense the pressure from the police was. Although those people had captured Alex, they wouldn't end things so easily. They would soon feel the pressure of being unable to move.
However...
Bai Ye pondered for a moment. In his previous life, he was just a small fry, so he followed the leader at the time and chose to force his way out. In the end, when the city-wide chaos ended, the time recorded was around 19 hours.
But what if the guys who took Alex this time had the same idea as Jin Sha, to delay the time and look for an opportunity?
Bai Ye's eyes lit up. That would be his chance!
After 24 hours, he could draw a capsule from the gachapon machine again, and spend another God Stone Shard to draw a golden one. He couldn't be so unlucky and get something useless, could he?
As long as it was something that could be directly used in combat, Bai Ye believed that unless he took the wrong route and failed to intercept them, he would definitely be able to intercept Alex and forcibly send him out.
Just then...
Jin Sha suddenly said, "They've appeared!"
Bai Ye snapped back to attention and said, "Hmm?"
Jin Sha said, "Scyther has found them."
Bai Ye was surprised, "You can communicate with your beast remotely?"
Jin Sha smiled and said, "It's very simple. Beasts can carry special items. So, when Scyther voluntarily dropped the item, it meant it had found the target. If the item was still carried, it meant it hadn't found them."
Bai Ye suddenly realized, "After dropping the item, did it return directly to the holder's inventory?"
Jin Sha smiled, "Correct."
Bai Ye couldn't help but stroke his chin. He didn't expect such a clever trick. He didn't know about this in his previous life and had only heard of it for the first time.
And now that Scyther had made a move, Bai Ye and Jin Sha naturally had a target. They drove towards the direction of the Red Gate Bridge.
At the same time...
Suddenly, the sirens of police cars blared, followed by the vehicles ahead actively stopping. More than a dozen police cars sped past. Judging by their direction, they should also be heading towards the Red Gate Bridge.
