Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared
Chapter 1449 Complete Lockdown

Chapter 1449: Chapter 1449 Complete Lockdown

Xue Wang rushed back to the Tower of Darkness in a hurry and found that the situation was already under control. All the variant vampires were restricted to a certain area, but Experiment No. 7 and Experiment No. 8 had vanished without a trace.

Xue Wang was furious and ordered a thorough investigation; it seemed impossible for two people to just disappear, especially when one was in a coma.

Since the surveillance on the fifteenth floor had been destroyed, no one knew what had happened, and no one knew how Experiment No. 7 and Experiment No. 8 had managed to leave.

It wasn’t until two guards came running saying that their clothes were missing that Xue Wang concluded, Experiment No. 7 and Experiment No. 8 must have knocked out the guards, stolen their uniforms, and then left disguised as guards.

As the surveillance footage was reviewed, it revealed that many people were injured, many were leaving the battlefield, and most were walking downstairs, heads bowed, which made it difficult to see their full appearance.

If the Tower of Darkness had been sealed off in time, even if Experiment No. 7 and Experiment No. 8 were disguised as guards, they still wouldn’t have been able to escape. However, the chaos caused by the variant vampires complicated things.

To allow more vampires and guards to escape, the delay in sealing the Tower of Darkness meant that it was very likely that Experiment No. 7 and Experiment No. 8 had already escaped.

In a rage, Xue Wang flung several people in charge aside. He had only been away for a short while, and such a situation had occurred.

"Find them for me," Xue Wang commanded, "We must locate Experiment No. 7 and Experiment No. 8. Even if they have escaped the Tower of Darkness, they must still be in Dark City." Xue Wang’s anger sent everyone into a panic, as they hurried to comply with his orders.

Xue Wang gave them one hour. If they couldn’t determine the whereabouts of Experiment No. 7 and Experiment No. 8 by then, he would deal with all those responsible for guarding the Tower of Darkness that day, to set an example.

Thus, Organization X mobilized completely. Besides dispatching more personnel to blockade Dark City, they also sent people to patrol the streets, arresting anyone who looked suspicious.

All the surveillance around the Tower of Darkness was scrutinized; any two individuals acting suspiciously and of Eastern appearance, with one supporting the other, were likely Experiment No. 7 and Experiment No. 8.

As Xue Wang watched his subordinates act with dire seriousness as though their lives depended on it, he showed not a hint of satisfaction.

Since the creation of Dark City, it had never been breached, and any who came to make trouble, even a successor of Jian Shen, would meet their demise here, for this was Organization X’s home ground, and they held all the advantages.

Yet, Xue Wang felt a hint of fear. Not to mention the encroaching enemies outside of Dark City, the inside was also thrown into disarray.

At this moment, Gu Fan was also in action. After returning to their residence with Li, Jie, and Hai, he immediately convened with the others.

Fortunately, Su Hui and Lin Xi had prepared their own communication devices when entering Dark City, so even though they were staying in different places, they could still stay in contact and coordinate their actions.

The situation was now terrible. With Dark City on high alert and a strict curfew imposed, it seemed that Organization X was about to conduct house-to-house searches. It would only be a matter of time before everyone was discovered.

Could they forcefully break out? With their abilities, it was entirely possible, but that would provoke a full-scale manhunt by Organization X. And, without food and water, escaping Dark Primitive Mountain would be difficult.

Another problem was Li Shi, who was still in the hands of Organization X. They thought that Hai and Jie had escaped on their own and did not realize that Gu Fan was involved or that he was the architect of the situation. Hence, Organization X hadn’t yet directed their wrath at Li Shi, but they would find out eventually.

Time was of the essence. Organization X had already begun searching the optician’s residence, and if they didn’t devise an escape plan soon, Ouyang Jin and Lu Yi would be captured, and the optician and others would get entangled.

Gu Fan could only think of a desperate strategy. To put it plainly, they would have to risk everything together. If they succeeded, they would all escape; if they failed, they would all fight to the death.

Without much deliberation, everyone agreed to Gu Fan’s plan as no better option was forthcoming, and they all trusted Gu Fan to lead them out of peril once again.

Since no one objected, it was time to act.

The first step was for Gu Fan and Li to approach a patrol squad pretending to be Organization X members. They claimed to have found something unusual in a building, deliberately drawing the patrol squad there.

The second step was to ambush the patrol squad and work together to quickly neutralize them.

The third step was for everyone to don the patrol squad’s uniforms and leave, posing as the patrol team.

The fourth step was for Gu Fan, Lin Xi, Su Hui, Irina, Xue Xue, and Li, along with Jie, to head to the optician’s residence.

At the same time, Hai would strike from one direction, and Xue Yin would strike from another, causing as much disturbance as possible to draw the attention of Organization X. With their formidable abilities, they could avoid any trouble for a short while.

Soon enough, Dark City erupted into battle. Knowing that Hai and Xue Yin had appeared, Organization X hastily rallied their forces to pursue and trap them, hoping to recapture the two experiment subjects.

But Xue Wang felt something was amiss. Xue Yin had been on the run for quite some time, and everyone thought she had escaped Dark City; it was unexpected that she was still there.

Rationally, Xue Yin and Hai had no connection, so why did both act simultaneously? Could it really just be a coincidence?

Some believed it was by chance that the patrol squad had stumbled upon Xue Yin and Hai while searching house by house.

After hearing this, Xue Wang’s brow furrowed. While the possibility was not unfounded, he still felt there was something fishy about it.

His subordinates didn’t think too deeply; they were just relieved that Experiment No. 7 had shown up of their own accord. Otherwise, in another fifteen minutes, a furious Xue Wang would have started holding people accountable, and it was uncertain how many would have been punished for this oversight.

As Xue Wang pondered, a subordinate reported that, judging by the movements of Experiment No. 7 and Experiment No. 9, they seemed to be heading for the Dark Door, which would be difficult for ordinary people to stop. It was recommended to immediately dispatch more personnel to reinforce the defenses at the Dark Door.

Xue Wang approved without a second thought, but he still felt there was a problem, an elusive feeling, as if he were matching wits with Gu Fan.
