The Death List Novel - Chapter 317
Chapter 317 Collision
“Qin Lun, do you know what happened to the big explosion in the auction house?” Coolapika asked softly, “Also, are you chasing after that hydrogen balloon now?”
Hydrogen balloons? Qin Lun rolled his eyes and immediately understood. The neighborhood of the auction house was sealed off by gangs. Perhaps the Phantom Brigade didn’t want to be too troublesome, or they didn’t care about the gangs at all, so they adopted a high-profile plan to fly back and forth from the sky.
Although this was more convenient, it was even more difficult to escape the pursuit of the gangs. Currently, there were at least hundreds of gangsters under his butt. This time, he didn’t have to worry about following the wrong direction. After a while, he would probably be able to see Coolapika and the others’ cars.
“Everyone in the auction house was killed by the Phantom Brigade. That big explosion was the gang’s last resort.” Qin Lun immediately blamed the explosion on the gang without thinking. “I’m chasing after the gang car now. I can’t see the hydrogen balloon for now. I should be a bit behind you.”
Qin Lun rolled his eyes and asked carelessly, “Is your Norstra Family’s escort in the car?”
“En, other than Ivalev, Shakimono, and Federer …” Speaking of Ivalev and the others, Kurapika’s voice softened. Although he had only been together for a few days, the youth still felt a little sad. He was much kinder than Qin Lun.
A smile appeared on Qin Lun’s face. As expected, Fei Jie did not contact Coolapika and the others. He also probed the real situation of the Nostra Family’s hotel.
If Da Zuonie and the rest of the guards were chasing after the Phantom Brigade, Silver and Lisa would definitely succeed, and he would eliminate the biggest hidden danger.
“The treasury is completely empty. We encountered another counterattack after killing someone in the auction house.” As long as the Phantom Brigade wasn’t mentally retarded, they would definitely be able to determine the leak of information. Nion’s prophetic poem was not a secret. As long as the brigade ruled out the possibility of traitors and captured a few gangsters, it would not be difficult for them to know about Nion’s existence.
The prophetic poem is a double-edged sword, which can hurt people as well as oneself. From the first time he saw Nyon, Qin Lun knew that she was the key figure in this historical plot.
Whichever faction he joined, the first variable to erase was Nion. If she could not control this little girl, she would not be allowed to fall into the hands of the enemy alive.
Judging from the current situation, if Nyon hadn’t left York City by tomorrow, she would have fallen into the hands of the brigade very quickly. In other words, as long as the brigade was not severely injured tonight, the brigade would regain its intelligence weakness tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
“Coolapika, tell Captain Da Zuonie not to act rashly after catching up with the Phantom Brigade. The Dark Beasts have also chased after them. Let’s observe their battle results first.” Qin Lun solemnly reminded, “By the way, which direction did the hydrogen balloon float in?”
“Oh … their altitude is descending. It seems that they are going to land in the Goethe Desert on the southern outskirts of York City. Perhaps they don’t have enough fuel left!” Ku Lapika stuck her head out of the window and looked at it for a moment before replying again.
“Yes, I understand. I’ll hurry over!” Qin Lun closed his phone and stepped on the accelerator with a chuckle. The car let out a loud roar and began to surpass the other cars on the road.
Qin Lun curled his lips. The brigade members were still so straightforward or arrogant. How could a hydrogen balloon be without fuel at this time? They definitely did it on purpose. Perhaps it was because he wanted to obtain the whereabouts of the auction items from the pursuers and learn the reason for the leakage of information!
…
The hydrogen balloon rapidly floated in the starry night sky. The basket below carried a total of seven regiment members. Franklin and the others, who had massacred the gang boss in the auction house, were also resting in baskets.
At this time, Lion Wo Kim was holding onto his phone and talking to the leader of the Phantom Brigade, Cullo.
“The auction item is gone?”
“Yes, the treasury is empty. Furthermore, the three of them were attacked by a puppet bomb in the auction house. Franklin and Drop suffered some skin wounds.” ‘”According to the real auctioneer’s confession, one day before the auction began, the members of the Dark Beast Organization directly under the Ten Old Man moved the goods. They seemed to have known that something was going to happen today!” Watkin said cautiously.
“Is that so?” Kuluo Luo’s face revealed a smile that implied Mo Ming.
“Guild Leader, don’t you think this is a bit too coincidental?” Watkin said with a ferocious expression, “There may be traitors among us!”
“Watkin, you said there were traitors among us?” A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Japanese warrior-dressed Nobunaga, and he slowly raised his head. The other regiment members in the balloon basket also frowned slightly, their faces a little ugly.
“Haha, there won’t be such a person among us!” ‘”If there’s a traitor, what does he get by betraying us to the mafia? Money? Fame? Status? Will any of us be satisfied with these boring things?” Kullo laughed loudly from his phone.
“Hiss, I really don’t think so!” Watkin scratched his face and sighed gloomily.
“Right! If the gangs are really sure that we will attack the auction, will they only use puppet bombs to counterattack Feitan and the others?” Kuluoluo smiled and said, “I’m afraid we will prepare more and more powerful methods! Moreover, the auction house guests are also unarmed, without any preparation to resist.”
‘”Guild Leader, what do you mean” Watkin grinned.
“The gang should have obtained some information that is not very certain, but there should be a small number of higher-ups who believe it and have made incomplete precautions against it!” Cullo said calmly, “But they should be sure of our purpose by now.”
“Alright, although I still don’t understand … then what are we going to do next?” Watkin scratched his head indifferently.
“Do you know where the auctioned goods were transferred to?” Cullo asked with a frown.
“That auctioneer said he didn’t know until he died. Feitan was in charge of the interrogation. I don’t think he lied!” Watkin looked at the little man beside him and said with a smile.
“That fellow is the most sympathetic person today!” Fei Tan shrunk his neck and said indifferently.
“Then who moved it? Find out! Those who are close to the treasury will always leave a name for the guards!”
“It’s a Dark Beast called Owl. He only went in for a moment and took away all the goods in the treasury. It might be the same type as Xiao Di’s spiritual ability.” Watkin replied with a smile.
“Watkin, since there was a big explosion at the auction house, your current whereabouts should have been exposed, right?” Cullo smiled confidently.
“Yeah, there’s a large group of people following behind us!” A strange smile appeared on Watkin’s face. “Perhaps there are some Dark Beast members among them.”
“Looks like your opponent is also a powerful psychic!” Cullo said with a smile.
“Oh, then … can we kill them?” Watkin blinked and whispered.
“Of course, give those people some bitterness. It would be even better if they could find that owl directly!” Cullo replied with a smile.
“Hahaha, there’s finally something interesting happening. It’s really worth looking forward to!” Watkin’s wild laughter echoed from the basket.
…
The Goethe Gobi on the southern outskirts of York City was actually a small gourd-shaped valley. The valley was surrounded by strange-looking rocky cliffs. There were only two exits in front and behind, and there was a flat valley clearing in the middle.
This was the best battlefield for both sides. The size of the valley could accommodate hundreds of people for a melee. Moreover, the surrounding area was surrounded by hard rocks, allowing them to fully display the power of firearms.
When Qin Lun reached the Goethe Desert, he could hear deafening gunshots from afar, and occasionally the explosions of grenades and rockets.
“Has a war begun?” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up and he quickly climbed up a steep rock mountain with both hands and feet, looking into the valley.
However, Qin Lun’s eyelids twitched after a single glance. A moment later, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
The Phantom Brigade had a total of seven people in the valley. Apart from the three people that Qin Lun had seen before, there was also a man as strong as a lion. When he saw him, the death list indicated that he was a member of the Brigade, Watkin.
The other three were a sunny young chivalrous warrior, a Japanese samurai-dressed macheteman, Noboru Hachama, and the last was a beautiful girl in a short-sleeved training uniform, Maggie.
Watkin was the only brigade member fighting against dozens of gangsters. The rest of the brigade members were playing cards on the cliff behind them. They didn’t even glance at the brigade, as if winning cards was their top priority.
At this time, the valley was already filled with the corpses of gangsters. A rough count showed that there were about a hundred of them. Qin Lun estimated that the group of people who were fighting were probably the third batch of gang combatants that had arrived.
Under the current situation, this group of people would not last long and would soon be completely annihilated. The only good thing was that there wasn’t Coolapika amongst the corpses on the ground. It seemed like they were hiding nearby to watch the battle and hadn’t participated recklessly.
As the gangsters used powerful firearms, the valley was covered in a layer of dust. However, Qin Lun’s reconnaissance ability was very strong, and the dust could not interfere with him.
‘”Strengthening Element! The body’s physique is extremely strong. Let’s forget about agility for now. With the addition of the ability to think, its strength will be at least seven times that of mine, and its surface defense should be more than three times that of mine.” Qin Lun’s face twitched as he swept his gaze across the shattered corpses.
His current strength exceeded 40 points, and his Physique, along with his equipment, had reached 30 points of protection. In other words, Watkin’s strength was above 300 points and his defense was around 100 points. Such strength and defense had already exceeded the scope of humans. It was simply a mini Godzilla.
“Baby versus Horizontal Gang Realm cultivator!” Qin Lun shook his head with a bitter smile. His judgment was correct. When the remaining gangsters crushed the blanket of a rocket, they finally collapsed and cried as they fled outside the valley.
However, just as he took out his phone and was about to persuade Coolapika to retreat temporarily, his heart skipped a beat and he turned to look at the entrance of the valley.
