Ita Era

Chapter 60 Going Home (22)

On the fifth day, at 5 p.m., the car left the highway and drove into Beishang County.

Chu Yu injected Ri Tian with an adrenaline injection from the medical kit. Ri Tian, ​​regaining some consciousness, sat up despite the pain and used the main quest map to navigate the vehicle. At 5:20 PM, the vehicle stopped in front of a small villa, where a man wearing a hat stood at the entrance.

Chu Yu and Ding Shi dragged Ri Tian to the man in the hat. Ri Tian sat on the ground and slowly took out the X pathogen from the inner lining.

Suddenly, a car sped towards them at 150 kilometers per hour. Ding Shi turned around, grabbed Chu Yu by the belly with his right hand, and the two rolled to the left. With a loud thud, a gust of wind blew past, and the burly Ri Tian was sent flying ten meters, his body crashing into the wall of a villa, breaking through the wall, and falling into the swimming pool.

The car went out of control, crashed into the villa wall on the other side of the road, broke through the wall, rushed into the grass, and pierced through the villa's French windows, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.

Chu Yu stood up. She felt neither fear nor sadness, but rather extreme anger, cursing, "Beep beep beep!" and strode quickly toward Ri Tian.

Ding Shi grabbed Chu Yu's collar and pulled her back: "Let's go."

Chu Yu resisted, but she was no match for Ding Shi and was forcibly shoved into the back seat of the car.

Less than a minute after the car left the area, Silly Bone stumbled onto the villa's lawn and fell to the ground. He was covered in blood, and one arm, as if it had eaten a rubber fruit, could swing wildly in all 360 degrees.

Panting, Sha Bi crawled on the ground until he finally touched a piece of glass. He took the glass with his left hand and plunged it into his throat. With a roar, he twisted it with his left hand, and blood gushed out from his artery.

He had to die, and die as soon as possible, so he could catch up with Ding Shi. He wasn't worried about losing his memory, because there were only two targets left on the entire map, and agents from all over were swarming towards him. He was only worried about not having enough time to intercept and kill Ding Shi. He had to kill him, he absolutely had to kill him, at least once.

Inside the car, Chu Yu clenched her fists, glaring fiercely at the road ahead. After a long while, she finally asked, "Who is that madman?"

Ding Shi said, "I like to call Dumb Dagger. He comes from an assassin family that serves the boss of City A. My boss's boss died at their hands. After my boss's boss died, my boss formed the Beacon Fire Hall to seek revenge. A year later, the people of the Beacon Fire Hall surrounded the assassin family. Except for Dumb Dagger, who escaped because he was in prison, everyone else was killed."

Chu Yu: "Do you hate me because of a deep-seated grudge?"

Ding Shi: "No, he doesn't hate me. He wants to make something of himself. If someone is in his way, he'll take them down, and I just happen to be that person."

Chu Yu sighed: "Just tell a story, don't include a witty remark in it, it makes my emotions very complicated."

Ding Shi smiled and said, "My boss is called Wang Meng, and he leads the Dragon Gang. It's the largest and last organized crime group in City A. Under Wang Meng's leadership, the Dragon Gang swept through City A and controlled almost all of the black market. Just then, Sha Bi was released from prison. He joined forces with Wang Meng to deal with me. I was seriously injured and died together with them. Before I died, I came to the Ita World."

Chu Yu asked, "Wang Meng is your boss, so why is he targeting you? Is he trying to discard you after he's served his purpose?"

Ding Shi replied, "No, because I'm an undercover agent."

Chu Yu: "Huh? You don't look like a police officer at all."

Ding Shi said, "The police deal with criminal gangs according to the law, while criminal gangs deal with each other without any evidence. When Sha Bi was in jail, he met my superior's deputy, who was arrested for job-related crimes. Sha Bi learned from my superior's deputy that there was an undercover agent in Wang Meng's circle, and also learned about the undercover plan."

Ding Shi: "After he was released from prison, he kidnapped my superior, erased my undercover information, and then handed the evidence over to Wang Meng. Don't be fooled by his madness; with only one life left, he wouldn't dare to act mad, at least not in front of me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been ambushed by Wang Meng and eaten two peanuts."

Ding Shi: "A short dagger, a very short dagger, but deadly enough. In reality, he is not crazy, he cherishes his life very much. He is very insidious, but he is insidious but not smart, so I have always called him 'Silly Dagger'. This name is not to despise him, but just to state the fact."

Chu Yu thought for a while and said, "In reality, you should be more insidious and crazier than him."

Ding Shi thought for a moment and then corrected, "I prefer the words 'intelligent' and 'brave'."

Chu Yu was amused, which eased her anger and sadness.

Day 5, 8 PM.

Far North County is a large county town and the final destination for Chu Yu in this instance. Upon entering Far North County, Chu Yu's home location is activated, and a shortcut route to her home is generated.

In the suburbs, the fish-shaped car was neatly parked in a temporary parking space. Chu Yu got out of the car, used her in-game currency to buy some food and water at a street shop, and returned to the car. Chu Yu asked, "How was it?"

Ding Shizheng looked at the map under the streetlight. A red line was drawn on it, which was the shortcut route provided by the system to Chu Yu.

Ding Shi said, "There is a lot of traffic in the county town. We changed to another car. The AI ​​locates us every half hour. As long as we stay for no more than half an hour, it is difficult to confirm our license plate."

Ding Shi: "The shortcut provided by the system has a big problem: it requires passing through 10 traffic lights. These traffic lights are all under high-definition surveillance, and the driver's face will definitely be captured on camera."

Chu Yu said, "You think the agents aren't looking for a car, but for a person."

Ding Shi said, "The agents don't know, but since Sha Bi has repeatedly caught up with us because we keep changing cars, he's probably looking for people, not cars."

Chu Yu asked, "Then which way do we get there?"

Ding Shi said, "We're definitely going to be exposed; it's just a matter of time. If we take shortcuts and main roads, and Sha Bi is constantly watching the surveillance photos sent by the AI, there's a high probability he'll find me immediately and pinpoint the license plate. And it's difficult for us to change cars within the county." The only way to change cars is to buy one, but that's too time-consuming.

Ding Shi said, "I want to go through the shantytowns to the west, pass through the urban villages, and reach the north. Then I'll take the overpass marked on the shortcut and try to get you home within five minutes of being exposed."

Chu Yu didn't answer, but asked, "Are you only worried about Sha Bi?"

Ding Shi replied, "The agents currently hunting us are all players who died in the Peach Blossom Village instance and haven't yet completed the Homecoming instance quest. These people don't pose much of a threat to me. But Sha Bi is different; he's a professional assassin. I only have one life now, while he has countless lives. When he makes a move, it's a mutual destruction, while I still need to protect myself."

Chu Yu said, "I have a bold suggestion."

Ding Shi said, "Please speak."

Chu Yu said, "I'll drive you to Beiyang County first. If the cameras can't catch you, then Sha Bi won't be able to find you either."

Ding Shi said, "But you'll have to deal with a lot of secret agents."

Chu Yu said, "We're going to infiltrate the special agents' vehicles. Instead of worrying about that, you should be more concerned about me breaking the rules." Chu Yu didn't have a driver's license, but the car was an automatic, so it wasn't difficult for her to drive.

Ding Shi said, "Your suggestion is a good idea, but are you sure you want to cover the rear?"

Chu Yu said, "I'm sure. And I think that if we can complete the mission quietly, it will make him feel even worse than if we killed Sha Bi. You not only defeated him in combat, but you also outsmarted him."

Ding Shi said, "But this is your suggestion, and it takes your courage."

Chu Yu said, "Can't we just not tell him? I can already imagine the look on his face when he's so angry he'll die."

Ding Shi nodded: "Okay."
