With Lu Beichen’s support, Liu Hong and the rest felt much more confident.

They couldn’t guarantee anything else, but with Lin Yi’s ability, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to last for three hours.

“I’ll pa.s.s the message on to them.”

Then, Liu Hong said to the communications officer, “Send the news over. Tell them to be careful and report their location whenever possible!”

“Yes!”

In Panama, Lin Yi was driving with Zhou Liang on the highway.

“What did Boss Liu say?”

“They’re negotiating with the officials. If there’s still no result in three hours, they’ll force their way in. Moreover, the people from Team 2 and Team 3 are on their way, but they’ll only arrive in about ten hours.”

“Ten hours…”

Lin Yi pondered for a moment. “As long as we can reach Santa Clara safely, that

won’t be a big problem.”

“Boss Liu’s order is for us to hide and keep in touch with him. When the reinforcements arrive, we’ll be saved.”

“After you’re done updating him on the important things, don’t talkto him anymore. Use your electricity sparingly. You can’t find a place to charge it now.”

“Understood.”

After communicating with Liu Hong, the two of them each focused on their

own matters.

Lin Yi drove, and Zhou Liang was in charge of covering them as they drove towards Santa Clara.

Lin Yi didn’t say a word along the way.

He had a feeling that something had gone wrong.

Why would the other party be able to pinpoint Cullen District so quickly?

Could it be that they had guessed his movements?

Although this was a possibility, Lin Yi felt that it was very unlikely.

They were not Liu Hong and did not know him well. It was not easy to guess his movements.

But this was something Lin Yi had always cared about.

At this juncture, the slightest movement could bring about a destructive effect.

He could not be careless.

Other than that, Lin Yi was even more worried about the men in black.

As long as these people did not show themselves, the danger would not be resolved.

Even if Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che came over, it would be useless.

With their methods, they would not care about this.

Moreover, there was still a huge gap between the two teams. Even if Team 2 and Team 3 were included, they might not be their match.

Because it was very likely that the men in black would bring his companions over like last time.

Because of this, Lin Yi felt that the matter in front of him was nothing. There was still more dangers awaiting him.

Even if they managed to escape to Santa Clara, it might not help.

This was what Lin Yi was most worried about.

Due to its relatively small size, Santa Clara was not far from Panem City. It was

only about 60 kilometers away.

After an hour or so, Lin Yi arrived at the place.

Santa Clara was a small coastal city, equivalent to a fourth- or fifth-tier city in Huaxia.

The only thing of note here was the scenery.

Lin Yi looked at his watch. It was already past three in the morning, and the night was the best cover. The two of them srnicl the city without anyone suspecting them.

The two of them walked around the city, and finally, Lin Yi stopped at the entrance of a restaurant.

“Boss, what are you acting like a thief?”

“Although we’ve rushed here, it’s not absolutely safe. We have to find a place to hide.”

Lin Yi pointed to a small hotel diagonally in front of them. “Let’s hide there for a while. The reinforcements will arrive in a few hours.

“Then why did you park here?”

“It’s a cover-up. If someone comes after us, we’ll be able to discover them immediately and escape through the back door.”

Lin Yi said,

“Leave the gasoline in the car. If we encounter danger again, ignite the gasoline to create panic so that the two of us can escape.”

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go now.”

“Let’s wait a little longer. Don’t be anxious. If the conditions permit, let’s wait

until dawn before going in.”

” Why is that?”

“It’s past three in the morning. Most people are asleep. If the two of us knock on the door in the middle of the night, it will definitely arouse suspicion. Normal people won’t do such a thing. It’ll be logical when the sun rises. If there’s really an accident, we can still drive away. We’ve made preparations for that.”

“Awesome!”

Zhou Liang gave Lin Yi a thumbs up, full of admiration for him.

Unknowingly, more than an hour had pa.s.sed, and the sky was already starting to brighten.

Zhou Liang saw the door of the small hotel open. A man in slippers walked out with a cigarette in his mouth.

He was still cleaning the front door with a broom in his hand. From the looks of

it, he should be the owner of the hotel.

However, Lin Yi was in no hurry to get out of the car. After waiting for a while and seeing that someone had entered to check in, he called Zhou Liang out. After packing up briefly, the two of them walked towards the small hotel.

Lin Yi still had more than a hundred dollars in his pocket. It wasn’t much, but with the prices here, it wasn’t a big problem.

After some negotiation, the two of them asked for a room by the window on the second floor. This was also convenient for them to observe the situation downstairs.

Lin Yi stood in front of the window and looked at the small city slowly waking up from the darkness. This fleeting moment of stability and peace was precious to him.

“Tell Boss Liu our location. The rest is up to the heavens.

Following Lin Yi’s orders, Zhou Liang told Liu Hong his exact location. All that was left was a long wait.

After staring by the window for a while, Lin Yi’s eyes hurt. He turned around and saw that Zhou Liang was already asleep, holding a gun in his arms.

The immense exhaustion overwhelmed him. His mind was overloaded, and he could no longer support his body.

Lin Yi didn’t say anything. He washed his face with some water and looked much more energetic. Then, he continued to stand in front of the window to watch in case anything happened.

Though small, the sparrow has all its vital organs.

This modest inn might be simple, but it’s equipped with some food and mineral water, a similarity it shares with hotels in Huaxia, serving as a way to generate revenue.

With his body enhanced by systemic modifications, Lin Yi’s physical capabilities far exceeded those of ordinary people. However, he was still flesh and blood, and the prolonged, high-intensity workload had begun to wear him down. Eating some of the food available on the table, he finally felt some relief in his stomach.

Time pa.s.sed minute by minute. In the blink of an eye, it was already past seven in the morning.

Lin Yi estimated the time.

in another two to three hours, Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che should be able to reach this place.

Secondly, according to Liu Hong’s update, they had already started to force their way in.

But there was no movement on his side.

Presumably, his allies’ movements over there had been obstructed. Otherwise, they should have arrived by now…

At the thought of this, Lin Yi’s expression suddenly froze, and his expression turned ugly.
