Chapter 349 Making a hasty escape!
Cold rainwater flowed down the rusty metal of the shipping container.
Chen Yifan squatted on a high place a kilometer away from the port, swaying the heavy silver metal box in his hand.
The scene just now was performed perfectly.
The shadow clone went in and stepped on a landmine, while the main body outside ambushed it.
Not only did they crush the head of the cyborg leading the Order Council into scrap metal, they also conveniently stole the so-called "deposit" in the box.
He opened the box and glanced at it.
The Void Dragon Lizard's reverse scales emitted faint spatial fluctuations.
The Star Steel Mother is so heavy it's hard to hold.
And there was that deep-sea octopus tentacles that kept wriggling inside a glass jar.
All of these are good things.
Moreover, these were all the core materials he used to "unlock" Wang Fugui and Lin Xiaoyu.
"These idiots, do they really think I'd go and be their free thugs?"
Chen Yifan let out a cold laugh. He stuffed the metal box into his storage space and dusted off his hands.
Cooperate with the Council of Order?
To raid the Lamplighter's seventh secret outpost, which even they found troublesome?
Give me a break.
Chen Yifan never does business that loses money.
He presented that extravagant list of materials on the Ferris wheel.
They even added information about the "Fragment of the World Core" as a condition.
They were playing a trick of feinting to the east while attacking in the west.
The Council of Order will definitely focus their analysis on the "Core of the World".
They believed that this was Chen Yifan's true scheme.
As for the long list of strange and unusual materials mentioned earlier, they were at most extras that Chen Yifan had taken advantage of to profit from the chaos.
They would never have guessed that he didn't care about any information about the Core of the World.
What he wanted was this batch of materials that could break the shackles of the world's engine!
"Materials received, cooperation complete."
Chen Yifan stood up and stretched in the cold wind.
These guys aren't exactly saints either.
Cannes is no longer a place to stay.
The Lamplighters and the Council of Order are probably fighting tooth and nail in the suburbs right now.
Once they come to their senses, or once that guy named Chenlong's cooldown period is over, it will be troublesome for them to leave.
Jiangcheng is also out of reach; it's probably full of the Lamplighters' spies now.
I need to find a secluded, lawless place to quickly complete the second job advancement quest and unlock the level cap.
Chen Yifan closed his eyes, and his powerful spiritual energy connected with the void.
With his current mental strength, using the [Void Shuttle] technique he obtained from Wang Qingyun is easier than drinking water for him.
The space in front of them seemed to have been torn apart by a pair of giant hands, revealing a pitch-black crack.
Chen Yifan stepped inside, and the crack instantly closed, leaving not even a trace of energy fluctuation.
Shortly after Chen Yifan left.
Kangcheng, outside the seventh secret stronghold, "The Hive".
On the top floor of an abandoned office building, the masked man who appeared on the Ferris wheel is standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
In the darkness behind him stood a dozen fully armed cyborgs.
They were waiting for Chen Yifan.
According to the plan, Chen Yifan had received the deposit and should have come here to take the lead and draw the "prison guards'" fire for them.
However, time passed by, minute by minute.
The data stream on the masked man's face began to fluctuate irregularly.
He raised his hand, and a virtual screen popped up on his wrist.
On the screen, the red dot representing Chen Yifan's tracking signal suddenly flashed in the port area a few minutes ago, and then disappeared completely.
"What happened? Why is the signal down?"
The masked man's metallic synthesized voice carried a hint of anxiety.
A cyborg in charge of communications quickly typed on a keyboard, and a few seconds later looked up to report:
"Observer, target signal completely lost. Our ambush team at the port... all vital signs zero. Captain killed, skull crushed. Deposit box... gone."
The masked man suddenly turned around, and the red light in his electronic eyes shone brightly.
"You mean, he not only killed our men, but also ran off with the deposit?"
"The current data analysis results are as follows..."
His subordinate answered reluctantly.
The masked man clenched his fists tightly.
The alloy knuckles made a clicking or grinding sound.
His brain, aided by superintelligence, was working frantically, trying to find a plausible explanation.
This doesn't make sense!
Chen Yifan clearly showed great interest in the fragments of the World Core.
How could he possibly give up on the follow-up intelligence just for a little bit of material?
Doesn't he know the consequences of offending the Council of Order?
After a full half minute, the masked man finally came to a conclusion that was extremely humiliating to him.
They've been tricked.
The only possibility.
From the very beginning, Chen Yifan had no intention of cooperating.
That long list of materials was not just an extra; it was Chen Yifan's real purpose!
Using the world's core as a pretext, they elevate their own prestige, lower their guard, and obediently hand over the materials, then run away with the money!
Such a large organization as the Council of Order was actually made a fool of by a student!
"Chen! Yi! Fan!"
The masked man smashed the tempered glass in front of him with a single punch.
A strong wind rushed into the building, making his tuxedo flutter loudly.
"Raise his danger level to the highest! Notify all infiltration sites: at all costs, dig him out!"
At the same time, in the void turbulence.
Chen Yifan was leisurely walking through the dark spatial passage.
He didn't care at all how furious the Council of Order was right now.
He was planning the route in his mind.
"Within the Dragon Kingdom, this is the place with the weakest official control, and it also has a large-scale class-change temple..."
He was going through the geographical information in his mind.
Soon, a name popped up.
Blackrock City.
This place is located on the westernmost border of the Dragon Kingdom, where sandstorms rage year-round.
Because it is close to several extremely dangerous dimensional rifts, the official garrison there is small, and it is basically controlled by various mercenary groups, merchants, and wanted criminals.
Most importantly, there is an ancient temple for job changes that dates back to the Great Silence.
"That's where we went."
With a thought, Chen Yifan changed the coordinates of his spatial traversal.
Tearing open the last spatial barrier, Chen Yifan took a step forward.
A fierce wind, carrying coarse sand and gravel, rushed towards us.
Before my eyes, a wild, colossal city, half-buried by sandstorms, lies sprawled on the wasteland like a dead beast.
The towering black city walls were covered with claw marks and dried blood.
Blackrock City, we've arrived.
Next!
The key is to hurry up and successfully change jobs before Chenlong's talent cools down!
By upgrading and allocating skill points, you can quickly improve your strength in a short period of time!
Without hesitation, Chen Yifan then...
He pulled up his collar to cover his mouth and nose, and strode toward the massive city gate.
However, not long after he went in.
Beside the city gate, on the huge light screen wall used to issue the highest-level wanted notices, countless faces were scrolling rapidly.
At the very top of the light screen, a wanted poster marked in blood-red lettering suddenly froze.
That face whose outline could be clearly discerned...
It was himself!
