Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

"Team Leader Cheng, target spotted."

A young man, holding an umbrella, stood across the street and "inadvertently" glanced at the dark and secluded alley.

He didn't speak, but with a slight thought, his voice rang out in the mental network.

"Location: the back door of the bar, behind a suspicious person wearing a black raincoat."

"The operation was swift, and the initial assessment is that the other party is the diseased buyer in this transaction, and is attempting to move westward along Alley 1."

On the roof of a nearby five-story building, Cheng Qiao squatted on the edge of the roof, rainwater dripping continuously from the brim of his raincoat.

But his attention was entirely focused on the terminal in front of him.

The screen displayed a simple map, radiating outwards from the bar, excluding himself, with fifteen green dots distributed in groups of three.

Before taking action, he connected his team members to a mental network using a mental network.

The first-level basic capability of [MindNet] is to connect up to 5 targets to achieve information sharing and transmission.

At the second tier, the number increases to ten, and they gain the ability to share vision.

Not long ago, with his own accumulation, he naturally broke through to the third level, which not only increased the number of targets he could connect with, but also gave him the skills of mental detection and sharing.

This ability is well-suited for tactical command.

Through his teammates' eyes, Cheng Qiao could clearly see the scene over there.

However, he did not rush to give the order to act.

He has mostly first-tier awakened individuals under his command, plus a precious gem of a high-level sequence. Including himself, who isn't good at combat, there are only three second-tier individuals in total.

The details of the patient's condition are still unknown, but according to information from the insider, it is between the first and second order.

If it were a second-tier monster, it would be difficult to control if it went berserk here.

"Received. Each group, report your location."

"One team is in position. The hotel's main entrance and the west exit of Lane 1 have been sealed off."

"Group two, in position..."

……

After a round of reports, his men had basically sealed off all the exits of Alley No. 1, but...

Cheng Qiao squinted at the two figures in the darkness. In less than ten seconds, the two had plunged into the depths of the alley.

This speed is clearly abnormal. Even a first-tier awakened being specializing in speed wouldn't be this fast, right?

A mere hunter couldn't possibly have that kind of speed.

The problem likely lies with Target Number Two, and the enemy should have discovered our deployment.

How was it discovered? Was it an "eye" planted by Du Biao?

The Hunter's first-tier skill is the ability to train "hunting dogs" to serve as their "eyes."

Because dogs are scarce these days, black market dealers like him prefer to use rats, which are much less effective but cost almost nothing.

As a third-tier awakened being, Cheng Qiao can easily command his teammates to avoid these "eyes" and even sever Du Biao's connection to the "eyes" when necessary.

With tonight's torrential rain, it's safe to say the success rate of this operation is 99%.

So the problem lies with the other person?

It seems we need to tighten the encirclement. Since the other side knew of our presence in advance, they will definitely try their best to escape.

"The two targets are moving at abnormal speeds; target number two is suspected of using an ability to assist in movement."

Cheng Qiao made a judgment and issued instructions within the mental network:

"Attention, team. The target is moving in your direction and is expected to make contact in half a minute. Prioritize subduing the target; restrictive measures may be taken if necessary."

"Five groups, move toward Group One as quickly as possible."

"Everyone else, tighten your belts!"

"receive!"

……

Deep in the alley.

Du Biao never imagined that one day he, a big, burly man, would be carried away like a chick by a petite woman.

Jiang Mian walked lightly ahead, the hem of her black raincoat swaying gently, making her look like a ghost in the rain.

Du Biao, standing beside her, was not touching the ground; his entire body was leaning forward in a strange posture, as if being held by an invisible hand.

He felt incredibly light, as if he were supported by an invisible air cushion.

Du Biao thought and thought, but he couldn't figure out what her ability was.

Besides fire, is there also the ability to seemingly control the wind?

But he clearly remembered that ordinary [elements] or [natural disasters] could only control one element, right?

Could it be... Sequence 47, the [Imitator]? They're said to be able to easily replicate the abilities of other Awakened Ones, so that seems plausible...

"I can run by myself..."

Du Biao forced out a sentence through gritted teeth: being dragged away by a woman to escape was truly a loss of face.

"No, you're too slow."

Jiang Mian coldly refused.

This thing's sequence is too low, and it's not a type specifically designed to enhance speed, so the boost it provides to the body is quite limited and can't keep up with its own speed at all.

Du Biao did not refute.

The other party is suspected to be a high-sequence lesion patient, a very powerful one.

If I say something she doesn't like to hear, or if she just dumps me, then I'm doomed.

As Jiang Mian approached the alley entrance, he felt the aromas growing stronger.

Ye Chenyang... and two others, one of whom was at the second level, were guarding the alley entrance and were moving deeper in at an extremely fast speed.

trouble……

She chose this direction when she came out, intending to take advantage of the chaos to head west of the city, squeeze every last drop of value out of Du Biao, and then circle back to the north of the city.

"Is fighting the only option now?"

Jiang Mian pondered the escape route. Theoretically, the [Gale] could temporarily keep him airborne, allowing him to glide briefly.

With her current output power, carrying a person wouldn't be a problem.

However... she didn't know if Ye Chenyang or the other sheriffs had any anti-aircraft capabilities; if the plane crashed, it would be incredibly embarrassing.

Firearms don't matter, not to mention that she's already covered in wind, which provides enough protection for her body.

Moreover, as long as the reaction is fast enough, once the bullets enter its firing range, [Blazing Flame] can instantly turn them into ashes.

However, the alley is too narrow, making it difficult to navigate even after takeoff.

The presence of the three people opposite them was getting closer and closer.

Upon seeing Jiang Mian and Du Biao, the first-rank sheriff at the end of the squad unhesitatingly drew a stun gun, quickly aimed, and pulled the trigger.

"Sizzle!"

"Be careful!"

Du Biao quickly spoke up to remind him.

If Jiang Mian were just an ordinary level one lesion patient, he might have been knocked unconscious if he had taken this hit head-on.

In the instant the lightning struck, a thought flashed through her mind, and a wisp of orange-gold flame appeared out of thin air, meeting the lightning in the rain and bursting out with a dazzling light.

The sudden high temperature caused the surrounding rainwater to vaporize, forming a thick white mist that obscured the group's vision.

"Fire element? The [Catastrophe] path?"

The second-tier sheriff standing at the head of the group asked in confusion:

"Second-tier... [Wildfire]?"

He's been working on the front lines for so many years, what kind of patients hasn't he seen?

His intuition told him that there was something strange about the infected person in the black raincoat across from him.

"No, Senior Xiao."

Ye Chenyang shook his head.

The other party had somehow blocked his senses, so even with his level of ability, he couldn't see things very clearly.

"She's very strong. Most likely a high-level sequence."
