"Bai Ye!" Jin Sha poked her head out and said, "Get in!"
Bai Ye nodded and quickly opened the passenger seat and got in.
"Sorry!" After Bai Ye got in, Jin Sha apologized, "I lost Alex."
"It's okay, I didn't expect it to be so easy," 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 haven't found it yet. The other party abandoned the car and entered the building. I can't do anything."
Aerial surveillance is not omnipotent, and entering buildings is a good way to avoid detection. 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. Now that the guy has appeared in the media, the whole city knows what Alex looks like. So, the outcome isn't that 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 ideas for now."
Jin Sha showed a hint of doubt. She always felt that Bai Ye had some kind of foresight ability. He shot down the helicopter, got the police radio, got clues from the police, didn't follow the Reis family, but directly found the Reis family's underground bar. Bai Ye was always one step ahead.
But now Bai Ye said he had no ideas?
Did this mean his foresight ability was gone?
Or did this ability have limitations?
Bai Ye was actually having a headache. After the Chosen One had an accident at the underground bar, things were developing differently from his previous life. Therefore, he couldn't rely on memory now, but on thinking.
Bai Ye thought for a moment and said, "We need to get a map first."
"I have one!" Jin Sha opened the car's glove compartment and said, "This car happens to have one. I just left it in here."
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 walking about a thousand meters straight. The second route is to leave through the underground highway on the east side, then go forward about three thousand meters, and after passing through the tunnel, you will reach the boundary of the city's edge. The last route is to take the overpass, then the ring road, and in about fifteen hundred meters, you will see the boundary line."
Bai Ye asked, "Which area did the people who took Alex go through?"
"Pompeii Street," Jin Sha said. "It's close to the Red Gate Bridge, near the Luowei Wharf. Judging from the area, the biggest possibility 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 the Red Gate Bridge has the worst concealment and is the easiest to be spotted, I think most people would still take the gamble. Even if they are discovered, they can try to force their way through. The other two routes are more complicated, and once they are discovered midway, it's hard to force their way out."
Jin Sha asked, "Will they choose to hide first and then look for 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? This restricted zone has no time limit. I think prolonging the time is also a strategy. For example, now, people with intentions should know what area they are in, but if time drags on, it will be difficult for everyone 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 gangs, villains, and drug lords' subordinates are all disruptors, adding difficulty for the Chosen Ones. And the police?
Those in uniform are the most troublesome.
Surveillance, tips, and a large number of personnel. As time passes, the police patrol network will continuously expand. Bai Ye only shot down one helicopter; more patrol helicopters will join the operation later.
Admittedly, it's difficult for the police to apprehend the Chosen Ones, but the police's movements 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 city-wide chaotic restricted zone, he had not succeeded in the end. At the last moment, his whereabouts were exposed, and others succeeded. The one hundred million he had obtained slipped away.
Therefore, Bai Ye knew how oppressive the police were. Although those people had captured Alex, they would not end it so easily. They would soon feel the pressure of being unable to move freely.
However...
Bai Ye pondered. In his previous life, he was just a small fry, so he listened to the person in charge at the time and chose to force his way out. In the end, when the city-wide chaos ended, the time recorded was around 19 hours.
But what if the guys who took Alex this time had the same idea as Jin Sha, to stall for time and look for an opportunity?
Bai Ye's eyes lit up. That would be his opportunity!
After 24 hours, he could draw another capsule from the gacha machine. He would spend another fragment of God's Stone to draw a golden one. He couldn't be so unlucky and get useless items 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 forcefully send him out.
Just then...
Jin Sha suddenly said, "Those guys have appeared!"
Bai Ye snapped back to attention and said, "Huh?"
Jin Sha said, "Scyther found them."
Bai Ye was surprised, "You can communicate with your beasts remotely?"
Jin Sha smiled and said, "It's very simple. Beasts can carry specialized items. So, when Scyther voluntarily removed its item, it meant it had found the target. If it still had the item, it meant it hadn't found anything."
Bai Ye realized, "After removing the item, did it go back to the holder directly?"
Jin Sha smiled and said, "Correct."
Bai Ye couldn't help but stroke his chin. He didn't expect such a clever trick. He didn't know about this in his previous life and heard about it for the first time.
With Scyther making a move, Bai Ye and Jin Sha naturally had a target and headed in the direction of the Red Gate Bridge.
At the same time...
Suddenly, police sirens blared. Immediately after, the vehicles ahead voluntarily stopped. More than a dozen police cars sped past. Judging by the direction, they should also be heading towards the Red Gate Bridge.
