System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

Upon hearing this, Li Jianguo's expression immediately changed. He raised his pistol and pushed open the door. But as soon as the two entered the desertification control plant, they saw three corpses lying on the ground, with prohibited weapons scattered around them.

Just as the two were inspecting the site, a sharp gunshot suddenly rang out from deep within the desertification control plant.

Upon hearing the gunshot, Li Jianguo's expression changed drastically, because guns were the number one prohibited item in Longxia, followed by drugs.

If the perpetrators are armed, then this ordinary case will be elevated to several levels, and may even require the deployment of armed police and special police to solve.

"Xiaoxiao, contact headquarters now, tell them about the current situation, and ask them to recruit more people immediately!"

"Yes, Captain!"

At this moment, Chen Xuan was strolling along the muddy road deep inside the desert control site.

However, if it were daytime and visibility were unrestricted, people would notice that the mud and puddles on the road would not affect Chen Xuan at all, and even the water stains on the ground could not get on Chen Xuan's shoes and clothes.

Coincidentally, because their secret hideout was invaded, the ambushing enemies also forgot about this strange detail.

Several burly men, their eyes like those of hawks, hid behind piles of sand and stones, their crossbows aimed directly at Chen Xuan.

As Chen Xuan approached, when he was about forty or fifty meters away from the group, a whistle, like that of a night owl, suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of arrows leaving the bowstring pierced the eardrums.

shhhhh--

Five or six arrows flew at great speed, crisscrossing each other, and instantly swept past the blurry figure in the mist.

Several people saw that the newcomer had been shot with an arrow and whistled again.

Meanwhile, another group of henchmen, who were hiding nearby, heard the signal and rushed out of the sand dune, grabbing their weapons and surrounding the spot where Chen Xuan had been standing.

However, when the second team arrived at the target location of the crossbow bolts with their weapons, they were shocked to find that there was not a single person in sight.

Only five or six arrows remained on the ground, perfectly embedded.

"Holy crap, where did they go?!"

"Are you all blind? There's no one here!"

The group communicated in a dialect that Chen Xuan couldn't understand.

However, just as the crossbowmen began to doubt whether they had seen things wrong.

Suddenly, they saw sparks flying in their own ranks not far away, followed by a series of screams.

The screams were shrill and high-pitched, as if a demon had appeared.

Given this situation, an ambush or sneak attack is definitely not an option.

Because they had already communicated and their positions had been exposed, further dispersal would only allow them to be defeated one by one.

The group remained calm, quickly assembled, grabbed their crossbows, and charged out.

The commotion was also heard by the short, thin man holding the homemade pistol, and a bad feeling instantly rose in his heart.

He seemed to have thought of something, and shouted into the darkness in the distance, "No matter the cost, we must kill him, or we will all die!"

The short, thin man shouted, then, without lingering, grabbed his gun and rushed back to the factory. Once back in the factory, he went straight to his house.

He knelt down in front of the Kumanthong on the offering table with a thud.

Then, gritting his teeth, he picked up the blood-sacrifice knife on the table and slashed at his arm.

Blood splattered all over the withered body of the Second Infant King. At this moment, the short, thin man's expression became crazed and ferocious. "I have the Second Infant King protecting me. No matter if you are from Bureau 749 or not, you will die here!"

After doing all this, he rushed back into the factory and dragged the terrified Wang Wenjing into one of the rooms inside the factory.

As the door opened, Wang Wenjing immediately saw the scene inside the room.

Several women, their hands and feet bound, were like domesticated pigs and dogs. They were dressed in rags, their hair was unkempt, and some had even been tortured to the point of being delirious.

However, upon seeing the short, thin man enter, they all let out pitiful, terrified screams.
