Chapter 437: Chapter 92 Yinta’s Snowstorm Night (Part 1)_2

"So... your pity and mercy now are meaningless."

"You can’t help a dead person, but you can help yourself."

Bai Buzheng’s throat rasped noisily.

He could no longer speak normally, no matter how hard he tried, he could only produce such a hoarse voice.

"Alright... I’ve said everything that needed to be said, the next part is very important, and I will only say it once."

Bai Zesheng calmly said, "If you want to die quickly and with dignity... I will give you a dose of ’something good,’ and you have one minute of free talk time. Contact him, and you can have a dignified rest."

And if you don’t contact... you will receive another kind of ’rest.’

He slowly stood up.

He took out a syringe from his sleeve.

Even a Transcendent who had awakened his abilities was still flesh and blood, life-saving "medicine" could take effect, and so could spirit-stimulating "medicine"... it just varied from person to person in effectiveness.

The "good stuff" in the syringe was injected into the artery.

This was a technology derived from the "Lion Awakening" project, used to stimulate the spirit, with strong side effects.

But it hadn’t been fully developed yet and released to the market.

It took just a couple of seconds for Bai Buzheng’s pupils to change from dilated to focused... more focused than ever before, eventually shrinking into a small point, his thoughts clearer than ever.

Yet... he was still weak.

After administering the injection, Bai Zesheng calmly rested his hand on his artery... ready to destroy him at any moment.

Tremendous rationality filled his mind.

He seemed to have discarded the "emotions and desires" of a person, leaving only rational judgments and considerations.

After a brief hesitation, Bai Buzheng dialed a number...

The moment the number was dialed, "Deep Sea" had already started working... it was an obsolete number that still existed in the vast database along with many such "dead numbers." According to the constitution of the Five Continents Federation, dead numbers should be eliminated.

However, ironically, all of the Five Continents retained such "dead numbers."

It’s simple... people all hope the other party has no secrets, while keeping secrets themselves.

This made the "thorough data check" tasks often run into trouble, as "Deep Sea" couldn’t chase further the identities of the holders of dead numbers.

But there was still a chance, during the communication link, "Deep Sea" could lock down the information address, though it would take some time.

"Beep—"

"Beep—"

The waiting process was actually very brief, taking just two seconds to connect the call.

But those two seconds passed very slowly in Bai Buzheng’s world, he slowly raised his head, reveling in the unbridled flow of spiritual power in his brain, feeling an unparalleled sense of relief...

The communication completed the link!

"Deep Sea"’s search system immediately began scouring for the geographic location on the other end of the communicator, as well as waiting for the voice from the communicator to begin identity recognition in the database.

"..."

Silence.

Bai Buzheng’s voice showed no hint of hoarseness or pain, but even carried a hint of laughter, he casually spoke, "It’s me."

"Everything is still under control... In one hour, I will extinguish Yinta’s energy source, meet at the safe house, I will send you away from Yinta."

"..."

All the while, the other party did not reply.

Bai Buzheng asked with a smile, "By the way, how is the situation on your side?"

Safe house?

The few staff members in the monitoring room squinted their eyes, they had never heard of any safe house in Yinta.

On the other end of the communicator, there was no response given.

Just a cold hang-up.

Unfortunately, the entire communication lasted only a brief five seconds.

"Deep Sea"’s search system had just started when it was abruptly interrupted, such a brief search time offered no substantial value regarding the reduction of the geographic range.

The caller was indeed in Yinta.

And in the northern part of the restricted area... but the whole city had already been scanned before releasing the source energy board. Without pinpoint location, such a broad geographic position carried no referential significance.

"What is a safe house?"

Bai Zesheng spoke without expression, "Your time is running out... If necessary, I will give you another injection."

"The safe house is in Yinta’s C29 warehouse."

Bai Buzheng smiled.

His attitude was surprisingly cooperative indeed... at this juncture, he had no need to lie anymore.

He finished his last few words.

At that moment, all the pain had disappeared.

From the surveillance system, the "sinner’s" entire skeleton seemed to have softened, only his head held high. The blood-covered man wore a foolish smile, his pupils had congealed into tiny black dots... and these dots were still collapsing inward.

After the "safe house" was confirmed... the interrogation came to an end.

The last bit of value from the sinner had been completely extracted.

Bai Zesheng silently stared at the man looking up, watching his pupils shrink further and further until they disappeared completely, leaving only whiteness in his eye sockets.

He reached out to close Bai Buzheng’s eyes, then left the interrogation room.

...

...

The long night in Yinta City was pitch black for the first time.

The lights of the tower had gone out.

The blizzard surged into the small city. In the absence of "light", the whole world appeared to fall into chaos. Except for the warriors maintaining security at the tower, all other workers got a "break". They settled inside the warehouse; the link from "Deep Sea" became unstable due to the fierce storm, and all supplies were now dependent on the "tower" to ensure the smooth running of tonight’s "capture operation".

Twenty elite warriors from Changye had formed a far-reaching net.

They took control of the entire Zone C, ready to be dispatched at any moment, quietly waiting for any sudden developments... To ensure the mission went smoothly without alerting their target, the warriors kept a very long distance.

No one knew exactly where the "assassin" was hiding.

Because of heavy snow, moving forward had become very difficult.

Bai Zesheng pulled out a sealed item from the Bai’s Ancestral Hall collection, a thin human skin mask, and placed it over his face, subtly altering his appearance.

He donned a wide black robe...alone, he headed towards Warehouse C29.

The first part of the capture mission was the meet-up.

The best way to catch a shadow was to first grab it.

The "energy disruption" in Yinta was just a facade.

Throughout the operation, there had been not a single piece of feedback; no one knew whether the cunning shadow would really head to the safe house...

It was all a gamble.

Actually, it didn’t matter whether the other side believed it or not.

If the meet-up failed to catch the shadow,

then... they would let the blizzard drown their opponent.

The worst-case scenario was that the entire Yinta would be completely locked down; with the energy panels turned off, they’d let the blizzard fall... a week, two weeks, a month, any well-hidden shadow by then would just be a corpse.

But the Bai Family also had to pay a price.

This warehouse, located in the far north, handled a significant part of trade tasks.

If they chose to lock down the city just to kill a fly... while achieving their goal, it would also result in severe losses.

Therefore, Bai Zesheng chose to take a risk, hoping that the case could be "solved" before dawn... If not, he hoped to achieve results early, ending all troubles.

The closer he got to Warehouse C29, the louder the sound of the storm became.

The signal in the central communicator was getting worse.

Perhaps because the energy panels were fully open... the whole of Yinta seemed to have turned into a bellows.

In everyone’s ears, there was only the hissing "hoo hoo hoo" sound.

Finally... the lone man walked towards the safe house.

The fragile link broke at the extreme distance.

Everyone had become deaf and blind; they could only hold their breath, silently waiting. Without orders, no one dared to act rashly... No matter how hard they looked towards the direction of Warehouse C29, all they could see was the endless storm and the dark long night.
