Chapter 631: Chapter 437 Who is the Prey_2
"Aren’t you worried they might run away?"
Responding to her brother’s question, Gina said straightforwardly, "After they sit down, I’ll remind them to fasten their seatbelts. Regardless of whether they follow the instruction to buckle up, once they’re seated, the fine needles hidden in the seats, coated with an anesthetic, will prick them. Even a martial artist of the Energy Cultivation Realm would need at least a day to wake up from that,
so you can rest easy. With this double precaution, the people in the car are like little chickens ready for slaughter. We can deal with them whenever we want."
As Dong Tianyu watched from the sky, he was sure his guess was correct. Those who still had a naive kindness in these perilous times simply wouldn’t survive long. In the wilderness, an extended hand offering help could be the very thing that plunges one into an even deeper abyss.
At this moment, the brother and sister on the ground were probably plotting just as he had surmised: recruiting newcomers and using special situations to their advantage to enlist more, then looking for opportunities to lead them on a rescue mission.
When actual danger arose, they could use the abilities of the bus model to pull everyone inside it, completing their scam at that point.
In Kyoto, every day, some people are transformed into elites, while others go out hunting and vanish without a trace, their deaths unknown in some forgotten corner.
So, it’s quite normal for both their team and other Hunting Teams to occasionally suffer losses in their ranks.
The randomness in the appearance of the people they capture is high, but there’s one guarantee: everyone they take has a certain level of martial cultivation since they wouldn’t be participating in hunting expeditions otherwise.
The reason they ruthlessly kidnap people is simple: it’s all about money.
After all, with the right methods, their efficiency in kidnapping can make them more money than what they could earn from hunting expeditions, with greater security as well.
As for where the captured individuals eventually end up, that’s not something the siblings need to concern themselves with. The buyers have assured them that the test subjects they take rarely, if ever, reappear.
Thus, Dong Tianyu silently watched from above as the siblings discussed how much money they could make this time, without any intention of warning them that someone had woken up in the vehicle and was trying to use a personal communicator to contact others for rescue.
What they hadn’t anticipated was the lack of signal inside the vehicle, and fearing that opening the windows would alert the two outside, they quietly unbuckled their seatbelts.
After the siblings finished discussing how they would splurge their earnings, they prepared to get on the vehicle together.
This bus model may look like a regular bus, but after their modifications, it was indeed drivable. Although its speed might have been greatly reduced, both the autonomy and the interior space had been significantly improved.
As soon as the two of them boarded, they took in the situation inside the vehicle and saw everyone appearing to slumber with bowed heads, the siblings exchanged a smile.
One sat in the driver’s seat and the other in the passenger seat. Before they could even start the vehicle, members of the besieged Hunting Team suddenly opened their eyes.
Two of them stealthily made their way behind the driver’s seat and, after knocking Gina unconscious, swiftly pulled her out and jumped into the driver’s seat to take control of the runaway bus.
Another went straight for a surprise attack on the former bike gang leader, but people who could survive out there for so long without getting killed definitely had some aces up their sleeve.
Just as the assailant prepared to deliver a fatal blow, the sixth sense of the targeted man predicted the enemy’s attack. He grabbed the attacker’s weapon-wielding hand with one swift move.
Then, drawing his body in close, he delivered a martial arts technique called ’Heart-Top Elbow’ upward into the assailant’s chest.
With just a single blow, the assailant staggered backward, his face flushed red, yet unable to make even the slightest sound.
Seeing that the vehicle had been controlled by them and that the attacker who had ambushed them was killed in retaliation, they turned their gaze to the more than a dozen people who had been sitting at the rear of the car, watching the action unfold—now all of them stood up.
Faced with this situation, Gina’s brother also felt somewhat helpless. It was certain that they couldn’t win in a fight, but the thought of running away also felt unacceptable.
However, seeing Gina lying on the ground unconscious like a dead fish, he could only reluctantly pick her up. Before the people at the rear of the car could react, he smashed through the car door and, carrying Gina, jumped out.
With their departure, the space inside the car gradually shrank. Noticing this, the person in the driver’s seat immediately slammed on the brakes and, with a punch, broke the driver’s cabin door, then jumped out of the cabin.
The other passengers weren’t much better off. When the car stopped, instead of rushing brainlessly towards the car door, many chose to shatter the glass windows and jump directly down from the car.
This was because the conscious members of the Hunting Team, while fleeing, also took away the members who had fallen unconscious. Although there might be a competitive relationship between them, it was a positive one of mutual encouragement.
It could be said that the two who fled, one was the leader of the motorcycle team, and the other was likely a team member.
As for the rest of the people, seeing how the two decisively abandoned the others during the escape, it was clear without saying that those left behind were expendable.
Since they were not accomplices, the others felt compassion, and under situations with ample time, helping others was something they would do whenever it didn’t put them at risk.
Zachary, watching the entire event unfold clearly from the sky, now fell into thought. Unable to be in two places at once, he was debating whether to stay put and keep observing or to continue following Gina and her brother while they were still within the range of his Divine Sense.
Just as Zachary was pondering, Gina and her brother quickly approached the edge of the Divine Sense coverage.
Upon realizing this, Zachary didn’t hesitate; he immediately used Sword Control to swiftly move above where they were. Although it was Gina’s brother carrying Gina, their pace was not slow, and soon the two reached the outskirts of Kyoto.
Seeing that they didn’t head straight back to the city but chose to rest here for the night,
watching the two enter a hostel, Zachary thought it wasn’t much of a solution to keep hovering in the sky, so he decided to land on the ground and enter the hostel.
Zachary lay on the bed, observing the situation of the brother and sister with his Divine Sense while considering whether to inform the Patrol Office.
While Zachary was still undecided, Gina suddenly woke up. The first thing she did after waking up was to rub her own body, which was red, swollen, and in pain.
As soon as she regained consciousness, Gina asked her brother what had caused her to faint and then how the two of them had managed to run to this place.
In response to Gina’s questions, her brother did not hide the truth. He told her bit by bit about what he knew, and after listening to the recent major events, Gina also fell into thought.
Just as Zachary was feeling a bit bored, he took out his communication device from the Storage Space. Unexpectedly, just after taking it out, someone was calling him.
Seeing a stranger’s number displayed, Zachary thought for a moment but still pressed the answer button.
"Zachary, where are you now? I’ve come to Kyoto. I knocked on your door, but you weren’t home, and nobody was at the Yara Family Residence. Are you two together?"
Hearing Madeline say this, Zachary, feeling annoyed and irritated, replied, "Who’s together with whom? Don’t talk nonsense."
