A few seconds later, Lin Yi placed his hand behind his back and signaled at Zhou Liang.

The latter understood and quietly crawled out of the sewer.

Lin Yi’s body quickly moved to the other side of the intersection.

The two of them stood on opposite sides of each other.

Lin Yi pointed at the two people outside and gestured at his throat.

Zhou Liang nodded, understanding what Lin Yi meant.

Looking around, Lin Yi found a small stone on the ground, picked it up, and threw it aside.

Although the sound was not loud, it attracted the attention of the two guards.

“I heard a sound back there,” one of them said.

“Could you have misheard? It’s already midnight. You must be hallucinating after standing guard here for a day.”

“I think we should go over and take a look. What if it’s those two Huaxians?”

“That’s impossible. We’ve been searching here for three days, but there’s no trace of them. I’m guessing the two Huaxians have already escaped, but we just don’t know it yet.”

“Still, let’s go over and take a look. What if it’s something else? Besides, I’m sleepy. I want to move around.”

“Let’s go then. I’ll follow you.”

The two of them turned around and walked into the alley with weapons in their hands.

Lin Yi and Zhou Liang, who were waiting inside, were tense and ready to attack at any time.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, accompanied by the sound of two people talking.

It was obvious that the two of them did not take the strange sound seriously since they were still chatting and laughing.

After keeping watch here for three days, they thought that Lin Yi and Zhou Liang had escaped.

Unexpectedly, the two of them had been hiding in the sewers for three days.

As the two of them approached, Zhou Liang’s heart beat faster.

Cold sweat trickled down his forehead, soaking his clothes.

To him, life and death would be decided in this instant!

At this moment, the two of them reached the intersection. Lin Yi and Zhou Liang rushed up from behind!

The two of them moved in unison and grabbed the opposite party by the throat. It was broken on the spot!

The two of them did it cleanly, not giving the other the chance to catch their breath. They did not make a single sound as they did this.

Only then did Lin Yi realize that their armbands were imprinted with the image of a cobra.

Without a doubt, these people were the first ones to have attacked him.

“Hurry up and change your clothes!”

After taking care of them, Lin Yi began to take off one of their clothes while Zhou Liang did the same.

In less than five minutes, the two of them had changed their clothes.

Now that they were a steel helmet and a dust mask, coupled with the cover of the night, if one did not look carefully, it would be difficult to tell that there was anything wrong with the two of them.

As for the two people who were killed, they were dragged into the sewers without anyone knowing.

After tidying up, the two of them walked towards the entrance of the alley.

“Relax. You’ll expose yourself before anyone notices.”

Zhou Liang took a deep breath. “Got it. I’ll try my best to control myself.”

Even though he had done a lot of basic training in the Central Guards Brigade, his lack of actual combat experience could not be made up for.

But now, he couldn’t care less. Even if he wasn’t used to it, he had to bite the bullet.

There weren’t that many rehearsals in life.

Lin Yi walked in front calmly. He saw people wearing the same clothes as him on the other side of the road. They even waved and greeted him without anyone noticing.

Lin Yi used his peripheral vision to observe his surroundings.

He found a jeep parked more than 20 meters away.

The helmets they wore were also marked with the symbol of an eye and a snake, indicating they were part of the same group.

“Come on, follow me.”

“Okay, okay…”

Zhou Liang tried to remain composed, but realized it was impossible to fully restrain himself.

Within a hundred meters radius, there were people everywhere, at least thirty or so, and that was just on one street.

One could imagine the state the entire city of Santa Clara had descended into.

This was also what shocked Lin Yi.

“Hey, man, I need a lighter. Lend me yours.”

Just as the two of them walked to the jeep, a black man walked over with a cigar in his hand. He wanted to borrow Lin Yi’s lighter.

Zhou Liang’s body trembled, and he was so nervous that his face turned pale.

If he got close, he would be exposed!

Lin Yi acted calm and composed, pointing behind the black man, and said in a perfect Meiguon accent,

“They took the lighter, as well as a few top-quality Cuban cigars that I s.n.a.t.c.hed. You can ask them for it.”

While speaking, Lin Yi sprinkled his speech with a few Meiguon slangs, making his speech appear flawless.

“Ok, I’ll head there now.”

The black man greeted him and turned around to walk towards the people behind him.

At this moment, Zhou Liang almost peed his pants in fear.

“Boss, this is so f*cking exciting.”

“Don’t talk. Just go. We’ll give ourselves away when the black guy walks back and asks them for the lighter.”

“Okay.”

Lin Yi and Zhou Liang subconsciously quickened their pace.

They reached the SUV before the black man reached his companions.

Lin Yi calmly opened the pa.s.senger door as Zhou Liang sat in the back.

The person in the car was sleeping. His posture was extremely indecent. When he saw someone get into the car, he asked in a daze,

“What happened?”

“There’s a situation outside the city. We’re short of manpower there. Let’s

drive over and check things out.”

“Don’t worry, let’s go now.”

The driver in the car became a little more energetic. Then, he started the car and drove off.

The people guarding nearby did not notice anything amiss. When they saw the car driving through, they made way.

However, after driving a few dozen meters, the driver suddenly perked up as he realized that something was wrong. He suddenly turned to look at Lin Yi.

“We aren’t responsible for anything outside of the city. Why do we have to…”

However, before he could finish speaking, Zhou Liang hit his head from behind.

“From now on, don’t say anything. Just drive peacefully, or I’ll send you to see G.o.d.”

Lin Yi took out a scalpel from the back of his waist. The shiny blade reflected a cold light on the driver’s face.

“I used to be a surgeon. I can destroy your vocal cords in a way that is guaranteed to ruin your life, so I want you to cooperate. Otherwise, I’ll make your life a living h.e.l.l. Don’t doubt a surgeon’s abilities.”

The driver’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his eyes almost fell to the ground.

He had already recognized that these two people were the Huaxians they had been tracking!

His heart was pounding, and he was in disbelief. He felt like he had seen a ghost.

The people by his side had been searching for three days, but they still couldn’t find any traces of them. He thought that they had escaped, but he didn’t expect them to appear inexplicably!

“No, don’t kill me. I’ll cooperate with you…”

Lin Yi’s lips curled into a smile. “Then don’t talk nonsense. Just drive the car. If we get out of Santa Clara, I’ll guarantee that you won’t die.”
