Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared
Chapter 1249 Increased Pressure

Chapter 1249: Chapter 1249 Increased Pressure

At the headquarters of the Tower of Darkness’s Organization X, everyone widened their eyes in horror, staring at the screen as signals disappeared by the hundreds, unable to imagine what was happening on the other side.

Xue Wang’s sweat poured down, "Impossible, a thousand elite vampire warriors including true members of the Xue Clan, which even Lord Xiong and I together couldn’t defeat; there’s no one in the world who could achieve that."

However, the harsh reality was right before their eyes, forcing Xue Wang to believe it. When a thousand signals had all vanished, everyone’s hearts grew colder.

What exactly had happened? The headquarters tried to contact the leaders of several groups, but there was no response at all.

Lord Xiong said, "The information just sent back clearly stated they were about to take down a person wearing a mask, and this masked individual was alone. Why did the messages suddenly stop? What caused the group leaders to be exterminated before they could even transmit a message?"

Xue Wang thought about deploying more troops, but upon reflection, he dared not act rashly, fearing he would just be sending another thousand elite vampire warriors to their adversary.

At last, Xue Wang grew agitated, unable to sit still any longer. He decided to go into battle himself.

Lord Xiong advised, "You’d better not go until we understand what’s happening. The opponent is clearly no ordinary individual; perhaps an ambush awaits you."

"What do we do then? There’s no one left to defend that area." Xue Wang grew more and more anxious, also affected by a powerful fear. To cover up his fear, he deliberately displayed great anger.

"In my opinion, we should immediately recall all the elite vampire warriors currently deployed outside to prevent further losses." Lord Xiong’s suggestion was very sensible, but with the other groups of vampire warriors dispersed in pursuit of the regular troops, gathering them back quickly seemed unlikely.

So, Xue Wang issued an order for all groups to bypass the troubled area and continue pursuing the main forces of the regular troops, especially at this point, to show the enemy that this was not a place they could trifle with.

A person with a mask couldn’t create significant trouble, nor pose any threat to Dark City, but if they allowed the regular troops to regroup, then Dark City would face the threat of siege. This was Xue Wang’s consideration from a bigger strategic perspective.

Lord Xiong agreed with Xue Wang’s decision; time was critical. The longer they delayed, the more elite vampire warriors they would lose, and it was still unknown how the masked individual would act next.

"We’ve hit a tough nut to crack this time," Xue Wang grimly clenched his teeth, his body tense, somewhat scared.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, strewn with bones and corpses, lay both elite vampire warriors and soldiers of the regular troops.

The mysterious masked person slumped on the ground, gasping for breath, thinking of the narrow escape from death, an extremely harrowing experience.

Initially, the mysterious masked person was nearly overwhelmed by the encirclement of a thousand elite vampire warriors, but at that moment, a force of nearly two thousand soldiers appeared.

It was fortunate that the battle with the thousand elite vampire warriors had drained much of their stamina, preventing these elite vampire warriors from suppressing the speed of the troops.

Under the fierce firepower of the soldiers, elite vampire warriors fell in batches, which also eased the pressure on the mysterious masked man.

However, the elite vampire warriors eventually held the advantage. Those who had attracted fire face-to-face had fallen, and those who leapt from the trees successfully infiltrated the soldiers’ unit of two thousand and began a massacre.

At first, the leaders of several groups didn’t pay much attention to the appearance of these soldiers, thinking they could easily handle them, so they didn’t use their communication devices to report back in time.

Seizing the opportunity, the mysterious masked man, after freeing himself from the binds of the elite vampire warriors, rushed to destroy all communication devices and also took down several group leaders.

Ultimately, after a fierce battle, the soldiers fell, the vampire warriors fell, and only the mysterious masked man lasted until the end.

"Not bad, pretty good!" the mysterious masked man said, having rested, ready to start another round of hunting. He believed that after this battle, Organization X would not possibly be able to gather so many vampire warriors to chase him again and would only order all vampire warriors to stay far away from this area.

The mysterious masked man tried to call Leng Le, but found the cell phone signal was very poor here, so he took out a flare gun and fired a signal flare to let Leng Le bring people to his side.

When a blue flare slowly rose into the sky, Leng Le looked up and frowned. From the direction of the flare, it seemed she would have to take a bit of a detour.

But Leng Le didn’t care much about that; she quickly led her people towards the mysterious masked man, feeling that being by his side was the safest option.

At that moment, a group of elite vampire warriors spotted Leng Le’s group and immediately sneered, as Leng Le’s group appeared to be only ordinary humans. How they ended up in this place, so close to Dark City, was beyond their understanding.

The elite vampire warriors ran across the treetops, swiftly moving through the woods, and soon caught up with Leng Le’s people.

"We’ve been spotted," Leng Le said, a bit frightened, urging everyone to move faster.

Everyone was running for their lives, but how could their speed compare to that of vampires? Moreover, they were still a good distance from the location of the flare, and it seemed they would not be able to make it in time.

Just as the elite vampire warriors were about to catch them, they suddenly stopped their chase. This left Leng Le baffled for a moment, wondering how they had miraculously escaped death. It was incomprehensible; perhaps the vampire warriors had suddenly grown a conscience.

"I get it, you dare not come close to the location of the flare," Leng Le said, her lips curling up. She knew the mysterious masked man must have done something that made the area around the flare a zone feared by vampires. Thus, he had boldly signaled Leng Yue to head there.

Upon their arrival, Leng Le and her subordinates saw skeletons everywhere; countless vampires lay dead on the ground. The mysterious masked man stood there with his hands behind his back, his coat flaring in the wind, his indifferent gaze, and the dark atmosphere all contributed to an invincible aura that was terrifyingly threatening.

At that moment, everyone was convinced, and those who followed Leng Le no longer harbored any thoughts of retreat. They knew clearly that once they were there, the only way was to follow the path of darkness, and only by following this man did they have any hope of survival.

"Pick up the weapons on the ground, and then wait patiently for me. I have something to take care of and will be right back," said the mysterious masked man before his figure flickered and he disappeared in front of Leng Le.

Leng Le felt uneasy, facing a man stronger and more capricious than the big boss. She wondered whether her own tricks would truly be sufficient.
