Chapter 61 - 【Chapter 61, Financial Crisis 21 - The Final Battle】

Day five, late at night.

The escaped prisoners looted the streets for a while, but didn't get much. In addition, most residents were worried about the danger outside and kept their doors and windows locked, so the prisoners couldn't get into their homes to loot.

Scarface, who was in charge, suddenly said, " There's a group of outsiders at the construction site on the outskirts of the city. They must have stockpiled a lot of food."

Someone asked in confusion, "Boss, how did you know?"

Scarface smiled strangely and said, "A friend of mine told me."

He waved his hand dismissively: "Go to the Construction Site, and while it's dark, take care of all those outsiders!"

Two young men, who had been following behind with their heads down, heard this and one of them, whose face was covered in grime, whispered to his companion, " The outsider they're talking about, could it be the Challenger? What should we do? If they find out we're Challengers who infiltrated the prison, will these lunatics kill us and make soup for us?"

The other person, pale-faced, said, "Stop talking! We've already been arrested by the police as thieves, so let's just keep pretending to be thieves."

—These two were the same Challenger who, in his cleverness, stole an LCD TV from the electronics store, hoping to pass the seven-day jail sentence.

After only one day in prison, no one brought food to the inmates anymore. Apparently, the prison guards had all gone on leave to go home. The two men stared at their bars, filled with regret, thinking they were going to starve to death in their cells. But then, on the fifth day, the inmates actually escaped!

After many twists and turns, the two of them mingled with the prisoners and left the prison.

Watching these thugs kill without blinking an eye, both of them felt their scalps tingle and wanted to find a chance to escape, but they couldn't find one.

Scarface didn't notice the two thieves and assumed they were just cowards who had never killed anyone, which was why they turned pale with fright.

He led everyone to the Construction Site, squinting at the three-story building in the distance.

There were lights inside the building, and the familiar aroma of instant noodles wafted over. The prisoners' eyes lit up, and they drooled as they said, "Boss, there really are people here!" "They can even cook noodles, they must have stockpiled a lot of instant noodles!"

Scarface turned around and said to those behind him, "Who's going to scout ahead?!"

The two "thieves," their faces covered in grime, ducked back with their heads down. Scarface raised an eyebrow and said, "You two go!"

The two were terrified: "We...we?"

Scarface gave them both a push: "Go in and see if there are any traps."

Clearly being used as pawns, the two Challengers exchanged a glance and, steeling themselves, cautiously infiltrated the Construction Site.

***

At this moment, on the third floor of the Construction Site.

Monitor with binoculars

The girl who was watching immediately said, "Xiao Ye, I spotted a group of people in the distance, two of them are moving towards the Construction Site." She zoomed in on the picture and looked closely: "They look kind of familiar?"

Shao Qingge said, "I've seen them. They are two Challengers staying at my hotel. Their supplies were stolen on the first night."

He sent this message to Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou.

Yu Hanjiang quickly realized: "It must be those two guys who stole the LCD TV and were arrested by the police."

Xiao Lou: "..."

What a coincidence!

Captain Yu was at the home improvement market when he happened to encounter two oddballs trying to steal an LCD TV. They were arrested by the police. Yu Hanjiang commented that they actually thought they could get away with it by going to jail, saying that their thinking was truly bizarre.

Unexpectedly, when the prisoners broke out, these two guys also escaped.

Yu Hanjiang asked in a low voice, "Should we save them?"

Xiao Lou nodded, and he and Yu Hanjiang quickly teleported behind the two. Yu Hanjiang nimbly twisted their arms behind their backs with a grappling move, while Xiao Lou quickly covered their mouths and whispered in their ears, "Don't make a sound, this is Challenger's headquarters."

The two people who were caught in an instant were stunned, their faces full of horror.

Yu Hanjiang quickly led them to a dark corner and whispered in their ears, " The Construction Site is full of traps. There are extremely powerful weapons on the roof. The surviving Challengers are gathered here. We plan to deal with this group of thugs. You two stay in the corner and don't move. If you get caught in a trap, you'll die a horrible death."

After saying that, he took out the vaccine and gave both of them an injection in their arms.

The cold liquid was injected into their veins, and the two people stared wide-eyed and tensed up, thinking that the other was giving them poison.

Xiao Lou laughed and said, "Don't be afraid. The injection you received was a special vaccine that can immunize you against the Zombie Virus. You don't know about our plan, so to prevent you from falling into a trap and getting into trouble, I'll tie you two up in a safe place first."

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang quickly worked together to tie the two up with rings. Then, Yu Hanjiang stripped one of the men of his clothes and put them on, pretending to be a prisoner. He whispered to Xiao Lou, "I'm going to release the virus. In one minute, all firepower is ready."

Xiao Lou glanced at him and nodded: "Be careful."

The two Challengers, bound together and gagged with strips of cloth, stared in disbelief.

Is this really Challenger's headquarters? Virus and vaccine, aren't those cards from Spade 2? Looks like everyone's already made preparations. Are they going to easily complete the game?

Both of them were extremely nervous and couldn't believe they had such good luck.

Yu Hanjiang, disguised as a prisoner, quickly walked out of the factory.

Scarface frowned and said, "What's going on? Why haven't those two little brats come back yet?"

Just then, he saw a man in prison clothes walking towards him in the distance. He assumed it was one of the scouts returning, and Scarface was about to speak when he suddenly realized something was wrong—

This person is too tall!

He was nearly 1.9 meters tall, half a head taller than the two guys we just sent.

Scarface's expression changed: "Stop him!"

However, the order came too late!

Yu Hanjiang, carrying Ye Qi's teleportation card, moved with lightning speed. His tall figure, which was just dozens of meters away, suddenly appeared in the crowd, uncapping a bottle filled with green liquid.

The strange smell instantly spread to the surroundings.

Scarface hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, angrily shouting, "What is that thing?! Grab him!"

Yu Hanjiang moved nimbly, teleporting away from the encirclement.

The girl monitoring the situation on the third floor quickly said, " Old Han is safe now, and the prisoners are retreating..."

Xiao Lou gave the order: "Ready—fire!"

A shot put was suddenly thrown from high above. Normally, the world record for shot put is only about 20 meters, but Card World's enhanced shot put was thrown by the girl directly into a crowd of people hundreds of meters away.

--boom!

The shot put exploded upon landing with a deafening roar, creating a 5-meter by 5-meter crater in the ground!

A dozen or so members of the inmate gang were caught off guard and fell into the pit. Soon, they felt their bodies begin to heat up, their movements became sluggish, and their hands and feet seemed to be out of their control. The group panicked: "What's going on? I can't move..." "My head hurts so much, I think I have a fever..."

The Zombie Virus took effect, and those remaining on the ground also began to feel unwell.

A ruthless glint flashed in Scarface's eyes: "There's an ambush here. Front line, cover! Get weapons!"

When the criminal gang escaped from the prison, they took a lot of weapons with them. Yu Hanjiang went to the city to investigate today and witnessed them opening fire, killing many people. Among them were heavy weapons such as machine guns and grenades.

Under Scarface's command, the group of desperados began firing wildly at the Construction Site!

Gunshots rang out incessantly, and grenades were thrown onto the construction site, exploding in the dark night!

The girl with the [Mirror] card immediately threw the mirror far away at the entrance of the Construction Site to deflect attacks and protect the guys on the first floor. The guys on the third floor opened their [Umbrellas] to block any bullets that might come at them.

The girl monitoring the situation said, "Three of them ran west, and two others went south!"

Beard decisively released his hunting dogs to give chase.

Xiao Lou manipulates the Ring to float in the air, and countless Ring hidden weapons the size of bracelets attack the crowd fiercely like a storm!

These people were infected with the Zombie Virus, which already...

Slow to act, Xiao Lou's Rings quickly knocked down a large number of them. Scarface roared angrily, raised his machine gun, and unleashed a barrage of fire in the direction from which the Rings had come, shooting them all down.

He fought and retreated, but after only a few meters, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his foot!

It was a pre-placed Bear Trap that caught him.

Several other people nearby were also grabbed by Bear Trap, and they were falling over and screaming.

That's not enough.

After being caught by Bear Trap, a sudden gust of wind blew in, and several of the lighter ones were blown directly into the pit!

Several people were struggling to climb out of the pit, but were knocked back down by their companions who fell from the sky.

A group of people were piled on top of each other, with the prisoner at the bottom almost crushed into a meat patty, constantly cursing: "Damn it! Are you guys idiots, why are you still walking into the pit!" The one being cursed was also innocent: "Damn it, I was blown here by the wind, these outsiders are using magic!"

Scarface's expression was extremely unpleasant.

The few who tried to escape were chased and bitten on the trouser legs by Bearded Uncle's hounds, and soon fell to the ground, unable to get up. The hounds, having also been vaccinated, returned majestically to Bearded Uncle's side and continued to chase and bite those who tried to escape.

The main group of prisoners was trapped in the trap, and a dozen or so were trampling each other in the pit, creating a chaotic situation.

At this moment, the prisoners were probably filled with questions—Who am I? Where am I? What kind of monster have we encountered!

Scarface received a message from Lao Liu a few days ago, saying that the outsiders would eventually gather at the Construction Site, and that he should bring the prisoners there, wipe them out, and he could receive a large bounty.

As a result, instead of receiving the bounty, they were utterly defeated!
