"You think I'm stupid!" Bai Ye retorted, "If you kill him, you can kill me."
While the logic was sound, Li Jia Yi was still furious.
According to the rules, only Bai Ye knew everyone's name and their order. Everyone else only knew the order and name of their target. xxs1
This was considered one of the trickier aspects of the rules.
But there had to be some benefit to starting a wish mission; the rules were indeed like this, and it was the same for other wish missions.
However, Li Jia Yi hated this.
At the same time...
A buzzing sound suddenly echoed in the sky. Looking up, two massive drones appeared, each the size of a normal six-seater helicopter.
The appearance of these things wasn't entirely unexpected. After fighting for so long, the hotel had been stripped of several floors, and the falling glass and rubble had caused countless casualties. It would be strange if the hunters didn't show up.
The moment the drones appeared, metal plates opened below, revealing the barrels of two energy cannons.
Then...
Boom, boom!
Two beams of incandescent light descended from the sky, hitting the hotel rooftop with a loud bang.
In fact, a corner of the hotel was directly blown to pieces, and large chunks of rubble continuously fell.
Bai Ye reached out, wanting to dismantle the drones, but then he thought, wouldn't acting himself benefit Hamir and Li Jia Yi?
Moreover, Bai Ye couldn't kill Li Jia Yi, as there were two people ahead of him in the order. Bai Ye also couldn't kill Hamir because Hamir's position was behind him...
But 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 drones...
What a joke, it turns out only he was the sucker?
Bai Ye decided to make a quick getaway.
Hamir's super-regeneration was truly monstrous. If Bai Ye didn't continuously release poison, the guy would recover.
It was like being cleaned up and then treated as a first-timer.
And since Hamir had recovered, Bai Ye wasn't too worried that Li Jia Yi could defeat Hamir.
Originally, Bai Ye had some doubts. Hamir was strong in his past life, but it was uncertain how much of that strength he retained in this life.
However, after a brief exchange, Bai Ye was quite sure that Hamir, in this life and at this stage, was definitely a top-tier expert. It wouldn't be easy for Li Jia Yi to kill Hamir.
Having made up his mind, Bai Ye immediately fled, sprinting to the side. When he reached the edge of the hotel, he leaped forcefully.
In mid-air, his massive wings unfurled, and Bai Ye dived downwards.
Li Jia Yi and Hamir exchanged glances, then decisively decided to leave.
It wasn't suitable to continue fighting at the moment.
Those hunters weren't very strong, and their technological weapons were a bit troublesome, but it wasn't easy to kill them either. It was just that once they were entangled, these guys were relentless, which was too annoying.
Furthermore, just as Bai Ye had thought, Li Jia Yi didn't have absolute confidence in killing Hamir. At the very least, it would definitely take a lot of effort to kill Hamir.
With a disruptor now present, it would be even more troublesome.
Hamir's thoughts were similar. After the confrontation, he confirmed that Bai Ye was not easy to kill, and with a disruptor present, it would be even harder.
Since that was the case, it was better to find another opportunity.
Thus, the two of them decisively split left and right, and then jumped down from the hotel rooftop.
Then...
Bai Ye became unhappy!
Those two drones actually chased after him.
Three people, two drones. If it was a random selection of two out of three and he was chosen, fine. But why were there three people and only he was being pursued? Did they think he was easy to bully!
Seeing the two drones fly overhead and prepare to fire, Bai Ye's expression turned cold.
The next instant...
As Bai Ye looked at the two drones, they instantly shattered into pieces and rained down from the sky.
A moment later, Bai Ye landed, his body transforming into lightning and vanishing without a trace.
Just after Bai Ye disappeared, a large group of hunters rushed into the alley where Bai Ye had landed, but they looked bewildered.
"Where is he?"
"He's definitely in the alley. I've controlled all the surrounding surveillance. I've also installed surveillance probes on the surrounding buildings, and there are surveillance drones patrolling. I'm very sure he landed in the alley."
"There are no other entrances or exits. The two ends of the alley are the only points of entry and exit, but our people have been watching nearby and have snipers in position. Although they couldn't fire immediately due to obstructions, we are very sure he landed in the alley."
"But where is he? Tell me where he is!"
The surrounding hunters looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
"Search!" the leader said helplessly, "Search this area immediately, don't miss any spot."
At the same time...
On a quiet street, with flashes of lightning, Bai Ye reappeared.
When the two large combat drones 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. Those two combat drones were almost top-of-the-line, comparable to the Annihilation Cannons in the City of Ruins.
Therefore, whoever possessed such things must be a large-scale hunter organization, not an individual.
Thus, encountering an ambush was inevitable. Bai Ye had activated his electric field in advance as he descended from the sky.
Using the electric field allowed for teleportation, and electronic devices would also be affected by the electric field. Consequently, the hunters were unable to track Bai Ye's movements.
Walking along the deserted street, Bai Ye pondered what to do next.
Bai Ye thought his plan was quite good, with a good arrangement of the order. But plans couldn't keep up with changes, and Bai Ye could do nothing about it.
Bai Ye truly hadn't expected Wei Zhu Xie to be so useless. It was no wonder he could only be a subordinate to Situ Chi Cheng in his past life, lasting less than a day before being killed by Hamir.
Lance Gath'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 fight desperately. While the rewards for wish missions were usually very good, things that were useless, even if of golden quality, would just gather dust.
Lance Gath's self-destruction was then understandable.
With Wei Zhu Xie and Lance Gath gone...
Originally, Bai Ye's plan was for them to hold back Li Jia Yi and Hamir, giving Bai Ye enough time to kill other minor characters.
But then...
One was gone, and the other self-destructed.
Neither of them could cause any trouble for Li Jia Yi or Hamir. Instead, they had screwed Bai Ye over.
Bai Ye couldn't kill Li Jia Yi according to the order now, and he was being hunted by Hamir...
Bai Ye felt he was truly having a tough time.
...
