"You think I'm an idiot!" Bai Ye retorted, "If you kill him, you can kill me."
It made sense, but Li Jia Yi was still furious.
According to the rules, only Bai Ye knew everyone's name and rank, while others could only know the rank and name of their target.
This was considered one of the difficult points in the rules.
But opening a wish mission had to come with some benefits; the rules were indeed like this, and it was the same for other wish missions.
However, Li Jia Yi was filled with hatred.
Meanwhile...
A buzzing sound suddenly echoed in the sky. Looking up, two enormous unmanned aerial vehicles appeared, each the size of a normal six-seater helicopter.
Their appearance wasn't entirely unexpected. They had been fighting for so long, the hotel had been damaged by several floors, and the falling glass and rubble had caused countless casualties. It would be strange if these hunters didn't show up.
The moment the aerial vehicles appeared, metal plates opened below, revealing the barrels of two energy cannons.
Then...
Boom, boom!
Two blinding white beams of light descended from the sky, hitting the hotel rooftop with a thunderous roar.
The corner of the hotel was directly blown apart, and large chunks of rubble continuously rained down.
Bai Ye reached out, wanting to dismantle the aerial vehicles, but then he reconsidered. If he acted, wouldn't it benefit Hamir and Li Jia Yi?
Furthermore, Bai Ye couldn't kill Li Jia Yi; there were two people ahead of him in the ranking. Bai Ye also couldn't kill Hamir because Hamir's rank was behind his own...
However, Li Jia Yi could kill Hamir, and Hamir could kill Bai Ye...
And he still had to help these two brats deal with the combat aerial vehicles...
What a joke, was he the only sucker here?
Bai Ye decided to make a quick escape.
Hamir's super-regeneration was truly monstrous; if Bai Ye didn't continuously release venom, the guy would recover.
It was like being washed clean and treated as a first-timer.
And with Hamir recovered, Bai Ye wasn't too worried that Li Jia Yi could defeat him.
Initially, Bai Ye had some doubts. Hamir was indeed powerful in his past life, but it was uncertain how much of that power he retained in this life.
But after a brief exchange, Bai Ye was very sure that Hamir was definitely a top-tier expert at this stage in this life, and killing Hamir would not be an easy task for Li Jia Yi.
Having made up his mind, Bai Ye immediately fled, darting to the side. Upon reaching the edge of the hotel, he leaped forward.
In mid-air, his massive wings unfurled, and Bai Ye plummeted downwards.
Li Jia Yi and Hamir exchanged a look, then decisively chose to retreat.
It wasn't the right time to continue fighting.
Those hunters weren't particularly strong, and their technological weapons were a bit troublesome, but it wasn't easy to kill them. However, once they were entangled, these guys were relentless, which was too annoying.
Moreover, just as Bai Ye had thought, Li Jia Yi didn't have absolute confidence in defeating Hamir; at the very least, it would take considerable effort.
With a disruptor present, it would be even more troublesome.
Hamir had a similar thought. After their exchange, he confirmed that Bai Ye was difficult to kill, and with a disruptor now present, he was even harder to kill.
Since that was the case, it was better to seek another opportunity.
Thus, the two split apart decisively, one to the left and the other to the right, and then leaped off the rooftop of the hotel.
Then...
Bai Ye was unhappy!
Those two unmanned aerial vehicles were actually pursuing him.
Three people, two unmanned aerial vehicles. If it were a choice of two out of three, it would be understandable if he was picked. But why, out of three people, were they only chasing him? Did they think he was easy to bully!
Seeing the two unmanned aerial vehicles flying over his head and preparing to fire, Bai Ye's expression turned cold.
The next instant...
As Bai Ye looked at the two unmanned aerial vehicles, they instantly shattered into pieces, scattering down from the sky as a pile of parts.
In a moment, Bai Ye landed, his body transforming into lightning and vanishing without a trace.
Shortly after Bai Ye disappeared, a large group of hunters stormed into the alley where Bai Ye had landed, only to find themselves bewildered.
"Where is he?"
"He's definitely in the alley. I've controlled all the surrounding surveillance. I've also installed lighthouse surveillance probes on the surrounding buildings, and there are surveillance aircraft patrolling. I'm absolutely sure he landed in the alley."
"There are no other exits. The two ends of the alley are the only entry and exit points, but our people have been watching nearby, and we've even set up snipers. Although they couldn't fire immediately due to obstructions, we're certain he landed in the alley."
"But where is he? Tell me where he is!"
The hunters around looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
"Search!" the leader said helplessly. "Immediately search this area. Don't miss a single spot."
Meanwhile...
On a secluded street, accompanied by flashes of lightning, Bai Ye reappeared.
When those two large combat aerial vehicles appeared, Bai Ye knew that a large group of hunters would surely be lying in wait.
The future technology in this city wasn't very advanced, and those two combat aerial vehicles were pretty much top-tier, on the same level as the Annihilation Cannons in the Ruined City.
Therefore, whoever possessed such equipment must be a large-scale hunting organization, not an individual.
Consequently, an ambush was inevitable. Bai Ye had activated his electric field in advance as he descended from the air.
The electric field allowed him to teleport, and it also affected electronic devices, preventing the hunters from tracking his movements.
Walking along the deserted streets, Bai Ye pondered his next move.
Bai Ye believed his plan was quite good, with a well-arranged ranking, but plans couldn't keep up with changes, and there was nothing he could do.
Bai Ye truly hadn't expected Wei Zhu Xie to be so useless. No wonder in his past life, he could only be a subordinate to Situ Chi Cheng and was killed by Hamir within a day.
Lancegard's self-destruction was also beyond Bai Ye's expectations.
Bai Ye had to admit this was his own fault. The rewards for the wish mission were too extreme, and they might indeed be worthless to some people.
If they were worthless, there was no reason to risk their lives. While the rewards for wish missions were generally very good, items that couldn't be used, even if they were of gold quality, would just gather dust.
Lancegard's self-destruction was thus understandable.
This meant that with Wei Zhu Xie gone and Lancegard having self-destructed...
Bai Ye's original plan was for them to hold off Li Jia Yi and Hamir, giving Bai Ye enough time to kill other minor enemies.
But now...
One was gone, and the other had self-destructed.
Neither of them had caused any trouble for Li Jia Yi or Hamir, but they had instead put Bai Ye in a difficult situation.
Bai Ye couldn't kill Li Jia Yi according to the ranking now, and he was also being pursued by Hamir...
Bai Ye felt he was truly having a tough time.
...
