Chapter 309 City-Wide Wanted
In the cave of the underground base, in front of a cement structure, which is considered a relatively luxurious house in the underground base.
A thin man in his forties with a mustache looked around and saw that there were ordinary survivors nearby. He hurried back to carry a bulging mountaineering backpack and wanted to blend into the crowd and leave.
Three soldiers disguised as ordinary survivors looked at each other, two continued to track and monitor, and one quickly ran to the cave passage behind to tell Jiang Zhengqing the news of Ke Hao's escape. They were all soldiers sent by Jiang Zhengqing to monitor the mutants.
The cave passages in the underground base are very developed, with many branches inside, forming an underground transportation network to connect the living caves of various survivors.
However, although there are many passages in the underground base, there is only one real entrance and exit, and at the entrance and exit, Jiang Zhengqing has arranged heavy guards to prohibit anyone from entering and leaving.
After receiving the news from the soldiers that Ke Hao had escaped, Jiang Zhengqing ran faster and mobilized a large number of army soldiers to set up checkpoints at the main traffic routes to intercept.
"Chief, it's bad. Ke Hao is missing." Just when everyone thought Ke Hao had nowhere to escape, the two soldiers who followed Ke Hao came back dejectedly, saying that Ke Hao suddenly disappeared and they lost him.
"What did you say? If you lost him, what's the use of you?" Jiang Zhengqing was so angry that he almost dragged the two soldiers down and beheaded them.
"Chief, don't blame us! Which Ke Hao can be invisible? We were clearly staring at him, but his body became transparent and disappeared into the air, and we couldn't find any clues."
The two soldiers looked aggrieved. With their ordinary strength, how could they monitor a mutant who could steal things from mutant pythons and was good at stealth.
Wang Jin was not surprised by this. Seeing the mutant python army besieging him, Ke Hao must have known that it was the snake eggs in his hand that caused the trouble. Not only would the mutant python not let him go, but even Jiang Zhengqing would catch him and skin him alive. If he didn't run away, it would be a ghost.
"Don't worry, he can't always use his invisibility. Send out the wanted order, and distribute Ke Hao's portrait. The whole city is looking for him. When his invisibility expires, he will be caught."
Wang Jin smiled slightly. The underground base was only that big, and Wang Jin didn't believe that he couldn't catch this little mouse.
Jiang Zhengqing also understood this truth, but he was too concerned. After all, there were only two hours. If he couldn't find the snake eggs in this time, the consequence waiting for him would be the endless offensive wave of the mutant giant python.
Soon Jiang Zhengqing issued the wanted order, and the entire underground base began to be under martial law. Soldiers patrolled and stood guard in the passages. Ke Hao's somewhat obscene portrait was posted everywhere, and a reward of 1,000 kilograms of food and rice was offered.
Whoever finds Ke Hao and tells the information about Ke Hao's hiding place will be his 1,000 kilograms of rice.
One thousand kilograms of rice was enough to drive the survivors crazy. Many people took Ke Hao's portrait and looked around the base, hoping that they would be lucky enough to find Ke Hao and get the thousand kilograms of rice.
They didn't care that Ke Hao was a level 2 mutant. Even if they were discovered, could they spread the news under Ke Hao's attack?
It must be said that wealth can make people crazy. This is the so-called "people die for money, birds die for food".
Under the dual surveillance of survivors and soldiers, the underground base was full of surveillance, and those houses and tents that were easy to hide people were checked again and again.
At the entrance of the cave, a huge alloy iron door sealed the entrance, completely freezing Ke Hao's plan to sneak out.
The more powerful the ability, the more energy it consumes.
Although Ke Hao's invisibility ability is good, the energy consumed is definitely not small. It is enough for stealing and sneaking in normal times, but in this state of encirclement, he can only keep stealing and invisible.
The result is that the body's energy consumption increases greatly, and it won't be long before the energy is exhausted and it can't continue to remain invisible. It needs to constantly remove the invisible and restore the energy in the body, giving the underground base a chance to capture it.
Half an hour later, Ke Hao began to show his feet. First, there were several bodies of the survivors who were killed. These were the survivors who accidentally discovered Ke Hao's whereabouts and wanted to report to receive the bounty and were killed.
Later, it was found that there were more and more survivors of Ke Hao, and Ke Hao couldn't kill them. Jiang Zhengqing began to lock Ke Hao's approximate position and sent a large number of police dogs and soldiers to encircle and suppress him.
Wang Jin also came here with the army. Except for a few survivors who discovered Ke Hao's whereabouts and were happily following the officers to get food, this place has been completely martial law by the soldiers. The extra survivors have been driven away, and at the entrances of several passages, the soldiers formed a circle of human walls to block the exits of the passages, trying to catch turtles in a jar.
Wang Jin came in and found that this was a living cave. Hundreds of wooden houses were built here, forming a small-scale living area.
At this time, the place has been completely martial law by the army. Thousands of soldiers are searching here. With the barking of police dogs, a dragnet is being drawn.
Jiang Zhengqing personally took charge of the command, and his eyes swept through every corner, waiting for Ke Hao to show up when he was not energetic enough.
"You are so good at hiding. Don't fall into my hands, or he will be in trouble." Jiang Shishi gritted her teeth and raised her wrist to check her watch from time to time.
At this time, an hour had passed quietly, and there was less than an hour left before the egg was handed over.
"Don't worry, he can't escape." Wang Jin was about to speak, but his ears suddenly trembled, and his sensitive five senses instantly detected an abnormality not far away. There was a problem with the air flow there.
Without thinking, Wang Jin rushed out like a cannonball and stretched out his hand to grab the air there.
Whoosh!
Ke Hao, who was hiding here, didn't expect to be discovered. He wanted to escape, but he was not as fast as Wang Jin. Before he could move, Wang Jin's palm had already pressed on his neck.
At the same time, a cold voice came: "Don't move, if you don't want your neck to be broken."
Ke Hao looked up and immediately found that the person who caught him was Wang Jin. All the courage in his heart dissipated, and he could no longer control the invisible state. Ripples began to appear in the sky, and a figure became solid from transparent, with a huge mountaineering backpack on his back. It was the somewhat wretched Ke Hao.
"Ke Hao!" Others also found that Wang Jin had caught the target, and they shouted in surprise. Jiang Zhengqing and Jiang Shishi ran to Wang Jin quickly, staring at Ke Hao's backpack without blinking.
Ignoring Ke Hao, who had already accepted his fate and collapsed on the ground like a dead pig, Wang Jin took off his backpack and opened it. There was indeed a huge snake egg one meter in size and completely white.
Jiang Zhengqing and his daughter looked at each other and smiled. This time the underground base was saved.
