"Bai Ye!" Jin Sha poked her head out and said, "Get in the car!"
Bai Ye nodded and quickly opened the passenger seat and got in.
"I'm 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," Bai Ye said. "Did your Scyther get lost too?"
Jin Sha said, "I roughly know the area. I asked Scyther to search from the air, but I haven't found anything yet. The other party abandoned the car and entered the building, so there's nothing I can do."
Aerial surveillance is not foolproof. Entering a building is a good way to evade it. Scyther does not 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 notice them. Carrying Alex will also make them conspicuous. That guy appeared in the media, and now the whole city knows what Alex looks like. So, the outcome is not 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 precognitive ability. He shot down the helicopter, got the police radio, obtained clues from the police, didn't follow the people from the Rice family, but directly found the Rice family's underground bar. Bai Ye was always one step ahead.
But now Bai Ye said he had no clues?
Did this mean his precognitive ability was gone?
Or did this ability have usage limitations?
Bai Ye was also troubled. After the Chosen One had an accident at the underground bar, the situation began to deviate from his past life. Therefore, he could no longer rely on memory but had to think.
Bai Ye thought for a moment and said, "We need to get a map first."
"I have one!" Jin Sha pulled open the car's glove compartment. "There happens to be one in this car, I left it inside."
Bai Ye took out the map and quickly looked at it, soon circling a few areas on the map.
"There are a total of three routes to leave the city," Bai Ye said. "After crossing the Red Gate Bridge, you can leave after driving straight for about a kilometer. The second route is to leave via the underground highway on the east side, and after driving about three kilometers, you will reach the city's edge boundary after passing through a tunnel. The last route is to take the elevated highway and then the ring road. After about 1,500 meters, you will see the boundary line."
Bai Ye asked, "Which area did the people who took Alex go to?"
"Pompeii Street," Jin Sha said. "It's near the Red Gate Bridge, close to the Roy码头. Judging from the area, the most likely scenario is 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, compared to that, the Red Gate Bridge has the worst concealment and is the easiest to be spotted. But I think most people are willing to take the chance. Even if they are spotted, they can try to force their way through. The other two routes are more complicated. Once they are spotted midway, it's difficult to force their way out."
Jin Sha asked, "Will 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? There's no time limit in this restricted zone. I think delaying the time is also a strategy. For example, now, interested parties should know their location, but if time drags on, it will be difficult for people to pinpoint their location, the search area will expand, and their opportunities will increase."
Bai Ye sighed and said, "Because of the police!"
The core of this competition is the Chosen Ones.
But don't think it's that simple. The existence of other forces is not meaningless.
Those gangsters, villains, and drug lords' subordinates are all disruptors, adding difficulty for the Chosen Ones. And the police?
Those in uniform are the most difficult to deal with.
Surveillance, informants, a large number of personnel, and with the passage of time, the police patrol network will continuously expand. Bai Ye only shot down one helicopter, and many more patrol helicopters will join the operation later.
Admittedly, it is difficult for the police to capture the Chosen Ones, but the movements of the police are equivalent to providing guidance to other Chosen Ones. Therefore, as the police deployment gradually takes shape, things will become increasingly difficult.
In his previous life, Bai Ye had suffered from this. Although he had participated in the restricted zone during the city-wide chaos, he did not succeed in the end. At the last moment, because his whereabouts were exposed, others succeeded, and the one hundred million he was supposed to get was gone.
Therefore, Bai Ye knew how strong the pressure from the police was. Although those people had captured Alex, they would not end it so easily. They would soon feel the pressure of being unable to move.
However...
Bai Ye pondered. In his previous life, he was just a small fry, so he listened to the person leading at the time and chose to force his way out. In the end, when the city-wide chaos ended, the time recorded was about 19 hours.
But what if the guys who took Alex this time thought the same as Jin Sha, to delay the time and look for an opportunity?
Bai Ye's eyes lit up. That would be his opportunity!
After 24 hours, he could draw from the gacha machine again. If he spent another fragment of God's Stone to draw a golden one, he couldn't be so unlucky to get something useless again, right?
As long as it was something that could be used directly in combat, Bai Ye believed that unless he chose the wrong route and failed to intercept them, he would definitely be able to intercept Alex and force him out.
Just then...
Jin Sha suddenly said, "Those guys have appeared!"
Bai Ye came back to his senses and said, "Hmm?"
Jin Sha said, "Scyther found them."
Bai Ye was surprised and said, "You can communicate with your beast remotely?"
Jin Sha smiled and said, "It's very simple. Beasts can carry special items for beasts. So, when Scyther voluntarily removed the item, it meant it found the target. If the item was still carried, it meant it hadn't found it."
Bai Ye suddenly realized, "After removing the item, did it directly return to the holder's possession?"
Jin Sha smiled and said, "Correct."
Bai Ye couldn't help but stroke his chin. He didn't expect there to be such a trick. He didn't know this in his previous life; it was the first time he had heard of it.
And with Scyther making a move, Bai Ye and Jin Sha naturally had a target and headed towards the Red Gate Bridge.
At the same time...
Suddenly, the sirens of police cars sounded. Immediately after, the vehicles ahead stopped voluntarily, and more than a dozen police cars sped past. Judging by the direction, they should also be heading towards the Red Gate Bridge.
