"Yaa~"
Nyanmeilong waved at Bai Ye, seeking praise.
Bai Ye smiled and waved back, signaling Nyanmeilong to jump down and catch him.
After landing, Bai Ye patted Nyanmeilong's head as a reward and recalled it to its Beast Ball.
The surroundings were already chaotic, naturally due to the sudden appearance of the falling person and the corpse.
Although people were already uneasy because of the commotion near Hongmen Bridge, this area was still some distance away, so panic hadn't fully set in. However, the sudden appearance of a corpse was the final straw that broke everyone's composure. Screams could be heard everywhere, and people were fleeing.
Bai Ye quickly pushed through the crowd and called Jin Sha on his phone. "Hello, how are things on your end?"
"Watching the show," Jin Sha replied. "The police roadblocks have been broken through, and the fight has reached the bridge. Now, not only the Canglonghui you mentioned, but also the Chosen Ones are making their move. It's pure chaos."
Bai Ye asked, "Where's Alex?"
"Don't know," Jin Sha said.
Bai Ye sounded confused. "Hm?"
Jin Sha explained, "That Muk was intercepted by the Canglonghui. But just as they were about to succeed, a Chosen One suddenly attacked the Canglonghui. Then, unexpectedly, the Muk threw Alex into the river."
Bai Ye questioned, "Were there people waiting on the water?"
"Yes!" Jin Sha confirmed. "It should be Muk's Beast Master. He had arranged a Lapras on the water, a beast capable of moving on water, to ferry Alex across. However, halfway through, they were intercepted by several speedboats. It was a fierce fight. Alex seemed to have been taken, but before they could get far, the yacht was blown up by a rocket launcher. However, they jumped into the river beforehand and are now nowhere to be seen... Wait, I see them. They are climbing towards the bridge with Alex."
Bai Ye could feel the intensity just by listening.
This was a true free-for-all.
This was actually a very practical problem. The Canglonghui had more people and were escorting Alex to forcefully break through Hongmen Bridge. The other Chosen Ones would certainly not be happy about this, but being unhappy didn't necessarily mean they would act.
Why? Because the first ones to make a move would be cannon fodder!
Therefore, Bai Ye knew that without cooperation, it would be difficult to stop the Canglonghui. Although there were dozens of remaining Chosen Ones, their combined numbers were at least two to three times that of the Canglonghui, but no one was willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good and become cannon fodder for others.
However, the moment the Canglonghui faltered and presented an opportunity, all these assorted individuals naturally sprang into action, leading to utter pandemonium.
At this point, Jin Sha asked, "What now? Should I make a move?"
Bai Ye replied, "You can go, but don't be too aggressive. Hongmen Bridge is very long. Even if you manage to retrieve Alex, there's still the matter of escorting him across the bridge, and after crossing, there are still about a kilometer to the regional boundary. So, the main objective now is to keep an eye on Alex as much as possible and find a suitable opportunity to seize him."
"Okay!" Jin Sha pondered. "Actually, I can also travel by water, and it's different from the route that Beast Master took before. I can go underwater."
Bai Ye inquired, "Oh?"
Jin Sha explained, "I have a beast called a Wailmer, a whale-type beast, which can dive. As of now, traveling on water doesn't seem feasible. Many people have long-range attack capabilities, making the water route too conspicuous and sure to draw concentrated fire. However, if I can stealthily move underwater, I think it's still possible, and Wailmer's defenses are quite good."
Underwater?
After listening, Bai Ye found the idea quite appealing. It was indeed a viable strategy.
"However..." Jin Sha continued, "I'm not confident I can snatch Alex, even with the Iron Blood Warrior's plasma cannon. This kind of large-scale battle reveals just how many masters there are."
"It's alright," Bai Ye said. "I've already arrived at Hongmen Bridge. Where are you?"
Jin Sha replied, "I'm already on the bridge, hiding under a car."
"Keep an eye on Alex!" Bai Ye instructed. "I'll meet up with you soon!"
Jin Sha nodded. "Alright!"
Bai Ye hung up the phone, and Hongmen Bridge was within sight.
The police roadblocks had been breached, but the gunfire was still ongoing.
There were many reasons for the continued gunfire. Firstly, this chaotic battle wasn't just among the Chosen Ones; Alex, the major drug lord, had his own subordinates.
Alex's subordinates didn't care who was taking Alex; they only knew that they had to guard the bridge and help their boss escape the city.
Secondly, although the police roadblocks had been broken through, police personnel were still present, and they were currently exchanging fire with Alex's subordinates.
Among them were also black gang members who wanted to interfere, stirring up trouble.
In addition, the Chosen Ones were deliberately occupying positions to prevent the Canglonghui from easily getting onto the bridge.
Cooperation was out of the question, but among the other Chosen Ones, there were also small groups of three to five people. After all, if they divided a hundred million, even with five people, each would get twenty million. By sending one or two people from these small groups to block the bridgehead and attack, they could prevent the Canglonghui from advancing.
This was because, among themselves, everyone had a chance to win.
Once the Canglonghui reached the bridge and seized Alex, the situation would revert to how it was before. Who would be willing to confront so many people from the Canglonghui head-on? Even setting aside the numbers, the individual strength of each member of the Canglonghui was quite formidable.
Therefore, the current situation was that many people had reached a tacit understanding: while pursuing Alex, they were also jointly intercepting the Canglonghui. Although many people from the Canglonghui had also gone onto the bridge to pursue Alex, more than half of them were still being held back at the bridgehead.
This way, everyone still had a chance to compete.
But often, there was always someone who would break the balance and become the disruptor, and that person was...
Bai Ye had arrived!
Bai Ye also knew that blocking more than half of the Canglonghui at the bridgehead was a good strategy, otherwise, if the Canglonghui regrouped, everyone would have a headache.
But the problem was, if he didn't cause trouble...
He wouldn't be able to get onto the bridge either!
If he wanted to advance now, the interceptors would automatically assume he was part of the Canglonghui, and the Canglonghui knew he wasn't one of them.
Good heavens, a world where only he got hurt had been happily achieved!
Therefore, for Bai Ye to get onto the bridge, he had to break the stalemate at the bridgehead!
The next moment, as Bai Ye pondered, he released Nyanmeilong again.
Bai Ye reached out and patted Nyanmeilong's back, pointing towards the bridgehead, "Nyanmeilong, use Meteor Beam!"
"Yaa~"
Nyanmeilong let out a soft cry, opened its short arms, and a strange radiance suddenly appeared on its body.
