After finishing his work, Bai Shi couldn’t help but look to his side.

Next to him was an unknown object covered with a layer of canvas, and it was difficult to see what was inside.

But judging from the part at the bottom that is not completely blocked, it should be a sculpture made of some kind of rosewood.

This was something he had gone to great lengths to carry with him.

The faint light of the oil lamp flickered, casting long shadows of the white stone and the sculpture on the wall.

And Bai Shi’s thoughts couldn’t help but drift back to a few days ago…

It was May 4th, in Cuiyun Valley.

The sun shone through the dense woods, dappling the path, and the air was filled with the faint scent of flowers.

That day, Bai Shi, Chen Yun and others bid farewell to each other and embarked on a new journey.

He is going to Gaul to meet up with his old friend Nick Horton to deal with a broker named Black Crow and uncover information about the Golden Triangle drug dealer who has a grudge against them.

Before leaving.

He roughly understood Chen Yun’s hint.

So after parting at Cuiyun Valley on May 4th, Bai Shi first sent the two girls back, and then that night he took the rosewood Gundam and headed abroad.

This rosewood Gundam, which is almost the same size as a human, is naturally extremely troublesome to carry.

So when Nick Horton met him in Gaul, he couldn’t help but look confused after seeing the Rosewood Gundam.

After dealing with the broker Black Crow and preparing to go to the Golden Triangle area, Shiraishi still insisted on taking the rosewood Gundam with him, and Nick Horton couldn’t help but express some doubts.

However, all of this was stopped by Bai Shi.

Although it is inconvenient to say more.

But Shiraishi knew deep in his heart that this rosewood Gundam might be his biggest trump card.

after all.

This is something carved by Chen Yun!

The last thing Chen Yun carved was a jade flying sword, which saved him effortlessly from the assassins of the Shadow Blade Organization.

The real power of taking someone’s head from thousands of miles away is still deeply engraved in his mind.

Bai Shi didn’t know what effect the rosewood Gundam that Chen Yun hinted him to bring would have.

But he can be sure.

This thing must be awesome.

It will be his life-saving straw at the critical moment.

otherwise.

How could he possibly go to the trouble of carrying this rosewood Gundam with him wherever he went?

In order to secretly carry this rosewood Gundam, the difficulty and complexity of their journey increased many times.

But in Shiraishi’s opinion, it’s all worth it.

Chen Yun can use his jade flying sword to kill enemies from thousands of miles away.

He would definitely be able to perform some more fancy operations with this rosewood Gundam, and his intuition told him that it would shock him for the rest of his life.

And of course, we must hold on to this life-saving straw tightly.

Just as Bai Shi was immersed in his thoughts, a slight sound of footsteps interrupted his thoughts.

He instinctively tightened his grip on the pistol beside him.

But when he noticed through the surveillance screen that it was Nick Horton, he breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the gun.

The door was pushed open gently.

Nick Horton’s figure appeared in the doorway.

He looked solemn and as nervous as Bai Shi just now.

Nick walked into the house, his movements cautious and practiced, as if he was deliberately avoiding something.

In fact, there were some hidden traps set up inside the house just in case someone broke in.

These traps were carefully designed by Bai Shi and Nick. They are simple yet effective and can warn them of uninvited guests at the first moment.

Nick first went around the side, avoiding a nearly invisible wire on the floor that was connected to a device that would trigger an alarm.

Then he carefully stepped over a small recess near the doorway, which contained a device that released smoke.

Finally, as he walked toward Bai Shi, he deliberately took a zigzag route, avoiding a seemingly ordinary picture frame hanging on the wall, which actually concealed a pressure sensor.

As Nick safely approached Bai Shi step by step, a relaxed expression appeared on his face, and the previous tension seemed to ease.

He whispered, “I just went out to scout the surrounding area, and something seems a little off.”

Nick paused.

He looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping on their conversation, then continued, “I’ve noticed that there are several different armed groups operating in the area. They seem to be looking for someone or something. Also, I’ve seen more soldiers than usual checking passing vehicles and pedestrians. Clearly, the situation here is becoming much more complicated than we anticipated.”

Bai Shi frowned and asked, “Has our poisoning been discovered? Theoretically, the drug lord will die of poisoning tomorrow, right? Now he should only be diagnosed as sick.”

“Maybe there was something wrong with your pharmaceutical ability, or maybe someone took advantage of the drug lord’s illness to seize power?”

“I don’t know. All I know now is that no matter what the reason is, there is a tendency for chaos to break out around us. We should run away immediately, otherwise we may not be able to escape.”

Nick Horton replied.

During the time he was out exploring, he discovered that the entire Golden Triangle area seemed to have turned into a huge hornet’s nest that had been poked.

Although it hasn’t completely exploded yet.

But he has learned some information about the signs of the outbreak through some channels.

We originally thought that we could complete the mission and evacuate quietly, but now the plan has changed a lot.

The surrounding warlords and some nominal government organizations were in a state of chaos.

Nick Horton didn’t know that their delayed poisoning plan was exposed.

Or is it because of something else?

But now the entire region is on high alert, with many of the planned evacuation routes now unsafe.

“This is a neutral area that has been stable for many years. It is a buffer for many warlords. Although there are many crimes and filth, there shouldn’t be any large-scale conflicts that will tear each other apart, right?”

Bai Shi was a little hesitant.

It is definitely safer to follow the original plan for escape, because it is more thorough and detailed. Changing the plan temporarily now will definitely be risky.

As this place is a neutral zone, it is possible that it will not be affected by the chaotic situation.

Nick shook his head. “I still think we need to change our plans.”

“We can’t use the old evacuation routes anymore. Those regular routes are probably heavily monitored and there’s a high chance of ambushes.”

“At least we need to find a new hiding place immediately, a more secluded place, so that we can at least avoid the search temporarily.”

Hearing this, Bai Shi pondered for a long time.

Next, Nick and Shiraishi quickly exchanged views and finally reached a consensus to change the plan.

The two sat down and carefully studied the map at hand, analyzing the current situation and discussing feasible countermeasures.

Although the road ahead is full of unknowns and challenges, they know that only by staying calm and wise can they find a way to survive in this crisis-ridden land.

These two peerless thieves naturally understood this principle.

Until late at night.

The two of them initially decided on a plan.

After looking at each other, the two of them packed up and prepared to leave immediately.

After Bai Shi quickly packed up his things.

He carried the rosewood Gundam and once again made Nick Horton fall into silence.

However, Nick Horton, who had argued many times, did not stop Bai Shi who insisted on taking this thing with him, but walked forward without saying a word.

Bai Shi followed silently behind, his eyes once again turning to the rosewood sculpture covered with canvas, and he couldn’t help but pray in his heart that this thing could play its due role.

of course.

if you can.

He still hoped that his next move would be safe and he would not need to use the rosewood Gundam that Chen Yun hinted him to bring.

Chapter 291: Complete Chaos

Early Monday morning, May 13th.

The night was as dark as ink.

In a dilapidated wooden house on the edge of the town, Shiraishi and Nick Horton had a conversation and quickly began their escape.

Bai Shi carried the rosewood Gundam sculpture. Its weight might be a physical burden, but the spiritual sustenance made it seem as light as a feather.

Nick followed closely behind, carrying a backpack containing important supplies.

The air in the early morning is especially fresh.

It brought a hint of coolness, but it did not relieve the heaviness in their hearts.

In this chaotic area.

No matter how capable they are, sometimes they can be shot down by a passerby.

After all, the bullets fired from a child’s gun are no different from those fired from an adult’s gun.

No matter what amazing abilities he has or what kind of big shot he is.

No matter how well prepared you are.

Everyone may encounter a situation where they are unable to perform.

What if you encounter absolute power?

The opponent simply wins by force without reason. With a burst of AKs coming down, any creature in the world will have to kneel down and sing the song of conquest.

and so.

Most of the time you have to be careful, careful and cautious.

The two chose to cross the narrow path on the edge of the town as carefully as possible before dawn, trying to avoid leaving any traces.

It was still dark and there was a depressing atmosphere all around.

On the edge of the town, the low and dilapidated buildings look particularly desolate in the night, and abandoned vehicles and garbage are scattered on both sides of the streets.

The dim street lights occasionally light up, but most places are pitch black.

Shiraishi and Nick tried to avoid brightly lit areas, choosing to walk in the shadows to avoid being spotted by others.

There was a sense of uneasiness in the air, as if danger might strike at any time.

Most of the residents on the outskirts of the town had gone to sleep, with only a few windows still showing faint lights.

The night wind blew gently and the leaves rustled.

Occasionally, you can hear dogs barking in the distance.

Everything around is very quiet.

The rhythmic and regular breathing and heartbeats of the two also seemed very loud at this moment.

I do not know how long it has been.

As the first rays of light appeared, the entire area seemed to be stirred by an invisible force.

Perhaps it was because the delayed-release poison in the drug lord began to take effect, causing the entire area to fall into a more chaotic state.

At least, the two people who had just arrived at a new place could clearly feel this change.

Armed forces began to move around, and the originally peaceful town became like a battlefield.
