Chapter 723: Chapter 719: Citywide Manhunt1_1

Lin Shao, who just managed to shake off his disorientation after being hit, saw through the face shield of his battle helmet, the dagger Dai Changhao was raising high. The glimmering coldness on the edge of the blade set his heart trembling!

"No!"

The blade came down hard as Dai Changhao yelled, "Die!" But then came a clash of steel; hitting Lin Shao’s exoskeleton armor, not only was Lin Shao unscathed, but a notch also appeared on Changhao’s blade.

"Damn it, can’t break through this exoskeleton armor!" Dai Changhao cursed.

Seeing this scene, Lin Shao’s spirits soared. His exoskeleton armor had saved his life this time. However, he barely had any time to feel relieved when Little Wu and Zhang Ding quickly drew their Canghe-P90s and began shooting at him!

So, so, so!

Several particle beam lasers whizzed through the air, striking sparks off Lin Shao’s exoskeleton armor, and soon the material started to distort and deform.

The Canghe-P90s shot extremely quickly. In no time, the concentrated lasers broke through the exoskeleton armor on Lin Shao’s body, revealing his clothing beneath!

"Ah!"

Lin Shao screamed in agony. He collapsed and no longer moved, blood seeping from the holes punched through the exoskeleton armor.

"That’s for being arrogant!"

Little Wu seemingly still held grudges. Despite the fact the opponent was already dead, he continued to vent his rage with the Canghe-P90, blasting the body into a mess before finally stopping.

"Let’s move! We’ve made such a commotion, someone must have noticed by now!"

As the three of them cleaned up and quickly left the Floating Flower Park, about a minute after they had left, several beams of light began to flicker deep within the park. Those were the beams of flashlights, and under their illumination, dozens of figures were seen hastily rushing over to the site.

The figures gradually became clearer. All of them were wearing coated battle suits and had not yet removed their stored exoskeleton armor.

Compared to the soldiers of the United District who had shed their heavy armor upstairs, these figures were obviously the dormitory supervisors and were not affiliated with Qinshan Base.

"There was some noise just now, unsure of what just happened."

"Let’s go and check."

These individuals ran to the site and under the glow of powerful flashlights, they quickly saw several prone bodies clad in indigo exoskeleton armor. They were utterly motionless, and no one could tell whether they were alive or dead.

However, the blood on the ground indicated that these individuals had been murdered.

"Not good!"

An older man leading the group furrowed his brows and quickened his pace towards a body.

"What happened, why are they all lying here?"

The older man squatted down and tapped the body on the ground, finding that there was no response. He promptly got up, took a dagger from someone, and flipped a body onto its back, prying open the exoskeleton storage box.

Crack!

The storage box was effortlessly levered open by the older man, indicating that he was clearly familiar with the structure of the exoskeleton armor. In general, without this knowledge, one could not possibly open the exoskeleton’s storage box.

After disassembling the shell and fiddling with the internal parts, as if he were adjusting something, the exoskeleton armor on the body retracted into the storage box, revealing the blood-stained body within.

The older man found a shocking wound on the corpse’s neck after rummaging around the body and opening the dead man’s shirt!

"They’re dead! They were all murdered!"

"Who did this?"

The man’s words incited angry yells from others who came forward to investigate. However, they frowned harder upon seeing the face of the corpse.

"Isn’t that Li Bao?"

"Li Bao? The one who’s always with Lin’s only son?"

"Damn, check the others, quickly!"

Spotting trouble, someone there uttered, causing the older man to falter. With a dagger in hand, he rapidly opened the exoskeleton’s armor of one body after another; all revealed were familiar faces!

"These people... they are all from Lin Shao’s group, if they are here then Lin Shao..."

Some there trembled as they spoke, and the gaze of many slowly turned towards a body not too far away, the exoskeleton armor of which was damaged.

The older man moved tremblingly towards it, easily removing the torn exoskeleton armor from Lin Shao’s body, revealing a gruesome and mangled corpse!

"It really is Lin Shao! He...he is dead!"

Everyone was startled, their faces turning pale. They had come to the United District this time to help Li Songhua eliminate Li Henian. Although they knew there would be some casualties, certain specific individuals absolutely should not have been among them!

Those people claimed to share weal and woe with the soldiers, but in reality, they were just along for the ride. If there was any real danger to life, those folks absolutely should not have been on the front line.

Who would have thought, even before the curtain was raised, they would lose the one who absolutely should not have died!

"Who did it?"

"We’re done for!"

"The body’s still warm; the killer shouldn’t be far, some of you, go after him!"

"Quick, notify everyone else, we must catch this perpetrator. Quickly!"

With everyone panicking, they hastily picked up their communicators to contact Li Songhua. They did not dare to inform Lin Shao’s father firsthand. Instead, they could only hope that Li Songhua would do something about this!

On the other hand, Li Songhua was still engrossed in chatting with Commander Ling. The vibrations on his mobile phone made him furrow his brows. He looked at the highly formal number without any clue who could it be, then he answered reluctantly and conversation from the other end of the phone began.

"Li Songhua, you must give us an explanation!"

Li Songhua was dumbstruck. Commander Ling, Lin Qiangguang, lowered his eyelids slightly. As a man of tall stature, he looked majestic in a military uniform and had a commanding presence that exuded an aura of sharpness and gave off a palpable sense of menace. He evidently was not an easy person to deal with.

"What happened?" Lin Qiangguang asked.

"I have no idea."

Li Songhua shook his head with a puzzled expression. He straightened his collar and switched his mobile phone to loudspeaker. He wanted to indicate to the Commander that he had nothing to hide.

"What kind of explanation do you want?"

"Humph! Li Songhua, we chose to come to Qinshan Base to help you get through your difficulties. Never did we expect that on the first day we would lose a very important person!"

"What? Someone was killed? When did this happen? Who is dead?" Li Songhua’s heart sank with a foreboding feeling.

"It happened just now. We have sent people to pursue the perpetrator. The person who died is Lin Shao! You may not know him, but he is the son of Commander Ling from our Plume Legion! You had better inform your men to hunt down the killer. He must still be near, possibly close to the Floating Flower Park."

After hearing the message from the phone, Li Songhua turned pale. He wanted to switch off the loudspeaker but it was too late. Upon hearing the news of his son’s death, Commander Lin Qiangguang’s aura abruptly changed, and, with a loud crack, the table in front of him split into several pieces.
