Eddy Lone led his group onward, calculating silently, "With the world so chaotic, we might run into that killing god eventually. If we can't escape, maybe we can try to ally with him! The city is too dangerous; aligning with a powerful ability-user could be beneficial..."
As they walked, a few survivors occasionally dashed out from the purple mist. These people collided with a group of armed men, their faces going pale from fright. However, Eddy Lone was solely focused on the convoy and didn't have time to bother with these minor players, quickly passing them by. The survivors silently breathed a sigh of relief and turned to flee into the mist, disappearing from sight. After some time, Eddy Lone's patience wore thin. "Where the hell is it?" Natasha grinned and flattered, "Big Brother Eddy, it's just up ahead! The convoy is right there! Just a few more minutes, and we'll be there!" ... James Lone had already come halfway when he saw Natasha being captured by a group of armed thugs. The thugs instantly killed one of Natasha's companions. James Lone thought Natasha was done for, but to his surprise, after a few questions, she followed the thugs back with them. "How did she convince those thugs?" James Lone was puzzled and directed his attention to Natasha, quickly catching her sycophantic voice: "Eddy, it's right up ahead! The convoy is just ahead! We'll reach it in a few more minutes!" James Lone's expression turned cold. This woman was inviting wolves into the house! He initially intended to take action when he noticed something strange. In his perception vision, the thugs emanated a strange mix of red, yellow, and green light! James Lone couldn't fathom how these people could register as both friendly and hostile at the same time. Could they be a bunch of fools? James Lone pondered briefly and decided to move closer for a better look; it was the first time he'd encountered such a situation, and he wanted to observe it up close. After all, these were ordinary people, and guns posed no threat to James Lone. With his intangibility, he could avoid all bullets. ... As Eddy Lone and his group continued walking, a head suddenly popped out from the ground. Everyone was startled: "What the hell?!" "What is that?!" The head slowly rose, revealing a man who coldly stared at them. After the initial shock, Eddy Lone's group quickly reacted. A burrow ability! It's just like walking through walls! He is the Rat! The killing god has come! Everyone turned pale and trembled in fear as they stared at James Lone, not daring to move. Eddy Lone felt his scalp tingle, mentally lamenting, "Why do I have such bad luck? I actually ran into that killing god!" Natasha was also startled, but when she recognized the man in the vehicle, she cried out with glee, "Eddy! That's him! He's the one from the convoy—turns out he's an ability-user! Kill him, and the convoy will be yours!" She glared at James Lone with envy. So what if he was an ability-user? An ability-user can't stop bullets! There are so many of us! You're dead meat! Once you're dead, they'll have Shirley Inr Won drive the vehicle! Just wait until they cut off my food supply! Eddy Lone's expression soured upon hearing this, his scalp prickling: "What the hell? How dare you talk to my brother like that?" He landed a punch squarely on Natasha's eye. Natasha was blindsided by the hit, falling to the ground, her head spinning, and one eye already swelling shut. Dazed, she asked, "Eddy, why did you hit me?" Furious, Eddy Lone roared, "Why did I hit you? Because you deserved it!" He unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks on Natasha. The others quickly joined in, forming a mob to beat her mercilessly. Natasha curled up on the ground, clutching her head and rolling around, shrieking, "Eddy! Eddy! Just kill him, and all the women on that vehicle will be yours! Stop hitting me! Ah! You're killing me!" "Shut up! You whore! Just shut your mouth!" "You still want to kill my brother? I'll beat you to death!" ... A few minutes later, Natasha lay motionless in a pool of blood. She was dead beyond recovery. Until her last breath, she couldn't understand why Eddy Lone had turned on her so suddenly. Eddy Lone forced a smile and stepped forward, "Big Brother, this woman doesn't understand—I've already taken care of her." Everyone anxiously watched James Lone. After all, he was able to infiltrate the base repeatedly, and he later decimated Duan Zhen and his men, indicating that he was far more powerful than they could imagine. Putting aside other concerns, with his tunneling ability, tracking them would spell certain death for them; there was no escape. Whether they could survive now depended entirely on James Lone's attitude... James Lone regarded Eddy Lone with interest. "Do you know me?" The light surrounding Eddy changed rapidly. Upon realizing who James was, the red light vanished instantly, replaced by a mix of yellow and green. Eddy Lone forced his smile, "I'm Eddy Lone, a former soldier from the television station base. I've seen your skills." He dared not mention that he followed Martin Stewart to hunt the Rat, fearing a swift retribution from James. So that's how it is. James Lone finally understood the origin of this group. No wonder they were armed to the teeth. It made sense that some would escape during the turmoil at the television station base. But... How on earth did they make it so far from the television station? James Lone asked casually, "You came out to kill me under Martin Stewart's order, didn't you?" Eddy Lone's expression froze, fearfully kneeling as he pleaded, "Big Brother, I had no choice back then! I was under orders! I never fired a shot at you!" The others glanced around, seemingly primed to flee at any moment. If they hadn't known that James could see through the purple mist, they would have run already. James Lone chuckled lightly, "Of course, you didn't shoot. Those who fired at me are dead." Eddy Lone's skin crawled. "Big Brother, that matter really has nothing to do with me..." James Lone silently regarded Eddy Lone. Should he kill him? Killing would not serve much purpose. Many at the television station base knew he could walk through walls, and if he annihilated this group, the secret would be exposed anyway. But... they knew the convoy belonged to him. That was an additional piece of intel. A fierce glint emerged in James Lone's eyes. Eddy Lone felt weak in the knees from his gaze, nearly wetting his pants. He quickly threw his gun down, swearing, "Big Brother, I'll follow you from now on! You say east, I won't go west!" James Lone remained unmoved, reaching for his dagger instead. Shit! Eddy Lone panicked, his mind racing, suddenly struck by inspiration as he rapidly offered, "Big Brother, I can infiltrate the 910th unit and act as your inside man!" Seeing the killing god's convoy meant he would likely head to the 910th unit. Given the other's capabilities, he wouldn't settle for being beneath anyone. Even if he ended up in the 910th, it would probably be the same situation. If he allied with James, he would gain a valuable ally. Conversely, his own group entering the 910th would surely be met with suspicion from the officers, potentially assigned to lethal missions. Having the killing god looking out for him would make things much safer. Eddy Lone definitely did not want to join the 910th. But if he refused now, it would mean certain death! "To infiltrate the 910th?" James Lone squinted. Eddy Lone spit out words as fast as he could, "Yes! We're soldiers; we should be able to prove our worth. Big Brother, I can pass along all the intel to you. When necessary, I can help you seize control of the 910th unit!" In a life-or-death situation, Eddy Lone made reckless promises, saying whatever came to mind. James Lone obviously didn't believe him. But... placing a mole in the 910th unit could indeed be beneficial.
