Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Being Tailed
Lynch didn’t dare hold anything back, spilling everything he knew.
"I don’t know where those two, Simon and Xisuo, are."
At these words, one of the nearby lackeys frowned.
"Are you looking to die, kid?"
Seeing the man’s fist rapidly approaching, Lynch quickly added:
"I don’t know where those two are, but I saw someone connected to them! They might be part of the same crew. If you find that person, you should be able to find Xisuo and Simon."
Blood Saber stared at Lynch with an icy gaze and said coldly,
"One more useless word, and you won’t live to see tomorrow’s sun."
Lynch swallowed hard. GULP.
"Xisuo and Simon posted a recruitment notice in October Town before and hired one person. Her name is Zhou Mei, and she’s a really pathetic Beastification user."
"Today, I saw Zhou Mei at the tavern. She was with a team from some shelter, and they were recruiting two more people."
Blood Saber’s expression changed when he heard Lynch’s words.
A cold glint flashed in Blood Saber’s eyes. He couldn’t believe an accomplice of Xisuo and Simon was recruiting people right under his nose.
He had just ordered his men to chase people off, and now he was learning that the very people he was looking for were right there.
A cold glint flashed in Blood Saber’s eyes. He couldn’t believe an accomplice of Xisuo and Simon was right here in October Town, daring to recruit so brazenly.
"Good. Very good. The information you’ve provided is quite useful."
The corner of Blood Saber’s mouth twisted into a cold smirk. He immediately turned and ordered his men,
"Send men to track that shelter’s team immediately. Find out where Xisuo and Simon are."
"Yes, Boss!"
The men immediately took their leave.
Blood Saber turned back to Lynch. "You did well. This is for you."
"And remember, if you try to pull any tricks, you’ll have to face the consequences."
Lynch snatched the Silver Coins from the table, secretly overjoyed. ’I really bet on the right horse this time.’
’It’s their own fault. Those people from the shelter looked down on me, and that woman humiliated me. They can’t blame me for being ruthless.’
Blood Saber immediately led his men toward the tavern.
However, by the time they reached the tavern, the group was long gone. After a few questions, Blood Saber’s men learned they had left October Town an hour ago.
Blood Saber’s face darkened. He slammed his fist onto the bar, which let out a dull THUD.
"Damn it! They got away again!"
Blood Saber cursed inwardly but didn’t let it discourage him.
He immediately ordered the men beside him,
"Send men after them at once. We have to find them."
"Yes, Boss!" his men replied, immediately taking their leave.
A vicious glint appeared in Blood Saber’s eyes. To think Xisuo and Simon’s accomplices had been right under his nose.
But now that he knew who they were, he had countless ways to find them.
The Blood Saber Gang naturally had its own methods for tracking enemies.
He led his men in hot pursuit, following the trail of the shelter’s team.
Lynch tagged along, inwardly scheming about how to squeeze more profit from this opportunity.
Meanwhile, Bena and the others had already left October Town and were moving quickly along the road back to their shelter.
Because of the Blood Saber Gang’s warning before they left, Bena was being even more cautious than usual.
As a result, it wasn’t long before Zhou Mei noticed something was wrong.
"Bena, something’s not right. I feel like we’re being tailed."
Bena’s expression immediately darkened.
Bena’s heart sank. He had anticipated trouble, but he hadn’t expected it to come so soon.
"Everyone, get ready for a fight. Stay sharp. Pick up the pace, let’s see if we can shake them."
Bena ordered in a low voice, signaling for the team to speed up and prepare for a potential chase.
「However, half an hour later.」
Zhou Mei spoke up again.
"It’s no use. They’re still on us."
Bena’s face turned completely grim. He immediately looked at Number 2.
"Send a message to the Administrator. Update him on our situation."
...
Inside the shelter, Ye Yun frowned as he read the message on his communication bracer.
’Talk about a small world,’ he thought. ’Who would’ve thought we’d run into the Blood Saber Gang just by recruiting in October Town.’
’But it makes sense,’ he mused. ’This is the price of my own carelessness. We just raided their headquarters, and then I immediately send a team to recruit in October Town. Running into them was just a matter of probability.’
’To get hit with a 0.2% risk... my luck is just that bad.’
He immediately entered a new command into his bracer.
[EVALUATE: Escape enemy pursuit]
[Assessment Type: Evasion]
[Assessing action risk...]
[Assessment: White Item 14%, Green Item 33.5%, Blue Item 51.495%, Purple Item 1.005%. Risk Factor: 9.24%]
Ye Yun: ????
’Wait a minute... a risk factor of over 9% for escaping? What’s going on?’
He quickly deleted that command and entered a new one.
[EVALUATE: Find suitable terrain and engage the enemy]
[Assessment Type: Combat]
[Assessing action risk...]
[Assessment: White Item 14%, Green Item 33.5%, Blue Item 51.495%, Purple Item 1.005%. Risk Factor: 3.11%]
Ye Yun: ?????
In an instant, a flurry of thoughts raced through Ye Yun’s mind.
The only thing he could figure was that if they kept running, they would likely run into more trouble, or the enemy would use the time to call for reinforcements.
Ye Yun carefully analyzed the assessment results of the two commands, weighing the pros and cons.
Based on the results, the risk of continued flight was rising, while the risk of fighting was comparatively low.
Although Ye Yun had a cheat in the form of his assessment system, which could accurately gauge the risks of any action, he still had to make the right call based on the actual situation when faced with an emergency.
[Stop advancing immediately. Find advantageous terrain and prepare to engage the enemy.]
Upon receiving Ye Yun’s command, Bena immediately began leading his team to find a suitable battleground nearby.
Ten minutes later, they stopped near a cluster of abandoned buildings.
It was a medium-sized community with over 100 buildings, large and small, most of which were still relatively intact. This terrain was perfect for an ambush.
Under Bena’s command, the team moved swiftly into the abandoned complex and began preparing to meet their pursuers.
They used the buildings for cover, established a defensive line, and readied themselves for battle.
