Chapter 461: 455. The target has disappeared! (Third update)_1

Ren He had limited bullets left in his gun, and when dozens of enemies scattered and began to surround him, he smiled. Without a ripple in his heart, he rapidly fired the remaining sniper rounds, each bullet claiming a life without exception.

However, tonight they couldn’t let the sniper escape. If he were to slip away, it was likely that even the director of the National Security Agency would have to tender his resignation.

The situation tonight was out of hand, eight cars had suddenly exploded, now lying torched by the roadside like torches. The commander frowned because he knew the incident was too significant, and it wouldn’t be long before the swarm of media descended like locusts.

This was likely one of the most formidable criminals that the National Security Agency had ever encountered on American soil.

But then, the commander’s eyes suddenly lit up, The gunfire stopped!

Out of bullets? Gave up? Either possibility was good news!

The sniper rifle was the enemy’s weapon of murder. If he really was out of bullets, that would mean significantly fewer casualties on their side.

Ren He watched the National Security Agency’s operatives converging on his location from all directions. This was the trap they had set for him. Yet, at that moment, a spark of realization flashed across his mind...

If all these people had abandoned their vehicles, didn’t that mean there was still a sliver of hope? After all, his initial decision to fight to the death had been made because he couldn’t outrun cars.

And he had aimed for the gas tanks specifically to increase the lethality but had inadvertently caused everyone to leave their vehicles to surround him?!

There was no time to consider all this before. Now, Ren He observed almost a hundred people swarming toward the high-rise building, the fastest already entering. It seemed that escape was no longer an option for him.

Now that he thought about it, perhaps he could make a break for it, but what then? Just at this moment, the loud sound of helicopter blades whirling in the air reached him, a beam of white light shining downward from the chopper, rapidly approaching the rooftop where Ren He was.

With the helicopter above, even if he could break free, what difference would it make?

Calmly, Ren He asked in his mind, "Two perfect rewards in exchange for a way to escape to heaven, how about that?"

And just then, a flood of information rushed into Ren He’s mind. The Divine Punishment System hadn’t negotiated with Ren He but gave him this information and, with it, took away the last two Perfect Level rewards he had!

Ren He was stunned for a full two seconds because the information the Divine Punishment System fed him was the entire sewer system map of New York City—the underworld itself!

New York City’s sewer system spanned over 10,600 kilometers, its magnificent underground brick tunnels, and comprehensive water drainage facilities unmatched by any other city in the United States. Due to its expanse and illumination, the sewers of New York have been a frequent setting in movies like the "007" series and "Mission: Impossible."

Moreover, the originally foul-smelling sewers had once led to the suspension of a United Nations conference due to their stench, prompting New York to invest heavily in the renovation of 16 wastewater treatment plants and the ventilation of the sewer system!

This was a vast underground labyrinth, incomparable to any other American city. Only New York boasted such a drainage system!

Without a map, even workers would get lost if they stayed inside too long, but now, this map was ingrained in Ren He’s mind.

Ren He felt like laughing. He possessed Master Level combat skills and marksmanship but lacked the matching combat mindset. If he had one, he probably would have thought of the sewers sooner... especially those sewers that were stars of past-life movies!

He suddenly felt a sense of resurgence, as if in the endless dark night sky, a light had risen on the horizon. That light, like a raging fire, burned within Ren He’s heart.

The people outside rushing towards him, and the helicopter above, probably all thought he was a pawn trapped on the board without any moves left.

Yet Ren He hadn’t shown his trump card yet!

Ren He could almost see their sneers and the blood that was churning.

He had killed too many people. The National Security Agency probably wished it could shoot him dead right then, but no one had expected that this pawn would suddenly leap off the chessboard!

When the door to the rooftop behind Ren He burst open, a commander in the distance was watching everything on the rooftop through his binoculars; however, his position was too low to see what was happening on the rooftop.

Just then, a figure suddenly leaped from the rooftop, soaring like a giant bird!

This building was 10 stories high, the tallest in the area, but that didn’t mean there were no other structures around.

On each side, there was a 7-story building only a little more than 8 meters away. If one were to think like an ordinary person, even professionals wouldn’t dare to cross such a height and distance, which is why no one had considered that Ren He might escape by jumping off the building.

But Ren He dared! And he had already leapt from the rooftop, just as he had the first time he jumped off the school building when he came through time, first nervous, then serene in his heart. Sadly, Yang Xi was no longer with him.

As everyone rushed into the building where Ren He was, he flew toward the building some eight meters away with this astonishing feat!

Only eight meters, not like he hadn’t jumped that far before; the only thing he had to be careful of was absorbing the impact on landing!

Even Ren He himself probably couldn’t handle the height, but it was his only chance for life.

The commander, with his mouth agape, holding binoculars, could never have imagined Ren He would resort to such an extreme method, leaping across more than eight meters—this was nearly the human limit, wasn’t it?

What kind of physical condition was this?!

He watched, wide-eyed, as Ren He landed on the building next door. The commander shouted into his walkie-talkie headset in a frenzy, "Air Group A, tell me the situation!"

The commander could now only hope that the helicopter’s view could keep track of the target’s movements. However, he harbored a hope—if the target had broken his legs in the jump, he might be able to capture him alive!

But the voice that came through the walkie-talkie shattered his hopes: "The target person has run down from the rooftop of that building!"

He could still run...? Nothing happened to him after that jump?!

"Stay close on him in the air!" After issuing orders to the helicopter, the commander headed to the target location himself, while the situation from the sky kept being constantly relayed.

"The target has descended the building, the target has descended the building!"

"The target is fleeing southeast!"

"The target is about to turn onto Ford Road; the target has turned onto Ford Road. I’m about to reach the sky above Ford Road!"

"The target... disappeared!"

This little pawn on the chessboard had really leapt free!

...

Extra rewards for all.
