After receiving the news, Hodel and his party had to leave immediately. The situation of Hong's disappearance at this time was really difficult to deal with: everyone in Rhode Island came to meet Jiang Yan, leaving only Hong who had just returned from outside to make love to Long.
Bodyguard, Hong's sudden departure at this moment disrupted the original plan and also revealed a very bad signal.
Red is a very experienced wolf hunter and a powerful pioneer of mysterious power. Although people in Rhode Island occasionally complain about her too casual behavior, no one has any doubts about Hong's ability. She is relied upon by everyone.
They are reliable teammates, which can be seen from their actions: Hong just goes back to take a nap, but no one doubts that she can take care of the escort mission during her break.
An unexpected situation could cause Hong to leave his post. There is really no way to think of other possibilities in this situation.
It could only be that huge beast, the "tusked clown" that everyone collectively assumed had appeared within her search range.
Rhode Island's troops were divided into several groups: Ruiwen, Chen Ze, who was less mobile, and Huozuo immediately set off back to the hotel. With Baozuo there, as long as the defensive battle was not one with a strength difference of more than five times, there must be ways to mediate, and
The greater role of Ruiwen and Chen Ze when they go back is to collect intelligence, and they will be able to do more in a safe place.
Kiko and Hodel, who had sufficient mobility and search experience, acted separately and began to search for Hong's traces and clues in Longmen.
They can only look forward to their luck in this process - Hong is more accustomed to acting alone at this time, and the contact and communication of her teammates may not be a good thing in her consciousness or situation. Now we can only hope that she can abide by Rhodes Island
regulations, at least carry a communicator for emergency use.
Jiang Yan had no right to participate in Rhode Island's internal operations, but he would not sit still and wait for death. After sending away a few people and arranging for people to clear away the tableware, his actions began.
——This is to protect your important friends.
Quickly arriving at the club, he found out some of the equipment prepared by the club as a black steel alternative safe house: the Gantry city map and tactical sign indicators. The hotel, club and the location where he encountered the beast that night were marked in the most eye-catching colors.
Afterwards, Jiang Yan placed a bright red marker on the map.
"Hodel said that their rooms are on the third floor, and the balcony and windows can be opened. Although Hong is not stupid, at this height, she might just climb out."
After all, she is essentially a careless wild girl. Jiang Yan pushed the red mark to the outside of the hotel and continued to deduce it in his mind.
"Although she didn't know how to hide herself among the crowd when I last saw her, I think the 'old woman' she called her would have arranged corresponding training. But this unfamiliar situation will definitely lead to defeat in the end.
She has long relied on familiar hunting instincts."
Jiang Yan pushed the indicator through the commercial street outside the hotel, thinking about the situation at each intersection of the street, and murmured:
"You have been to this club, and you also know that Hoddle and the others are looking for me. You will definitely consider the location when leaving a way out."
"As a hunter's instinct, you will choose a location that is convenient for you: you can see in all directions, and you can hide your position. It is best to have a backup hiding place. Then it is definitely not the top of the building. This is not the forest of Victoria.
In the steel jungle of the city, what would you choose—"
He finally set his sights on two construction sites some distance away from the hotel: one was an "unfinished building" that had temporarily suspended construction due to arrears of project payments, and the other was a shopping mall under development. Jiang Yan's eyes fell on the huge building that encountered that day.
The location of the beast.
"You start with the prey."
It is naturally impossible for such a huge monster to leave that area through normal means. If it is explained as escaping at night, it is difficult to imagine that he can escape from the gradually strengthening encirclement.
Even if he had to leave through Longmen's sewer system, he would have to find a way to shrink his size enough to fit through the manhole cover.
In this case, we must believe in that wild speculation.
"He can change his body."
That's all I can believe. But if you think about it this way, why doesn't He, who has the ability to "transform", transform and leave that place as soon as possible?
If He could leave the scene early, then two days would have passed long enough for Him to blend into the crowd and disappear without a trace. But if He has been lurking, how did He escape the search in the past few days? This question is still doubtful, but
Don’t waste time on issues that you can’t think clearly about. Time is running out. Jiang Yan waved his hand and assumed the lurking location:
"It's this shopping mall under construction."
Although there are more people and are easier to expose, this is almost the only option for the prey that Hong is currently chasing: the sewer construction in another area is not perfect, and the too old system belongs to a relatively independent set of pipe networks.
It is not easy to enter from the sewers in the old area.
If I remember correctly, after the renovation of the sewers in the old city a few years ago, most of the slum areas were integrated with the waterways in the upper city. The route forward has basically entered Hong's alert range, as long as he is exposed in the process
Any flaw will definitely be targeted by Hong.
"...Then the next step will be a protracted battle." Jiang Yan made a conclusion in his mind. "At least before nightfall, this will be a patient competition in Hong's favor."
The mysterious creature did not choose to expose itself directly or leave a few days in advance. This is enough to explain many problems. At least it proves that its actions are restricted by both the outside world and itself. In this way, it is impossible for it to leave among the crowds during the day. Red
He will hunt down this dangerous person at all costs.
And even at night, the reduced flow of people and darkness are not only beneficial to him: Hong, who is hiding in the dark, can also use these cover. It can only be said that the variables at night are more complicated, but it is definitely not a situation that is beneficial to him.
The next thing to compete is the patience and endurance of both of them.
I'm afraid approaching Hong rashly would only interfere with her plan, and adding variables would not be a good choice at this time. Out of his absolute trust in Hong's strength, Jiang Yan chose a plan that could maximize Hong's abilities.
Jiang Yan answered Afa's call.
"Hello, Jiang Yan?" Ah Fa didn't sound too busy, "You're contacting me to ask for a drink?"
"Brother Fa, I have something to ask you for help with." Jiang Yan went straight to the point.
He hadn't thought that if it were Lin, there might be a direct solution to this matter, but he wouldn't choose that option.
This is Jiang Yan's own struggle. Even people who don't know their true inner thoughts can still do something - he wants to prove this point of view and attitude.
"Divide a few brothers, the kind that are reliable, and I want them to help guard a few key streets."
Block the encirclement.
Now is the moment of decisive battle between the hunter and the prey. What Jiang Yan can do is to provide Hong with a safe enough stage and help in the subsequent pursuit.
