Chapter 426 - Zero (1/2)

The 01 Guerillas were still in shock. Although Black Nest had dispatched snipers at the ski resort last time, they weren’t under fire at that time, and so, the fear was simply surreal to them. When the sniper killed Iron Fist, his blood splattered all over Zhang Heng’s s.h.i.+rt. It made them realize that they had just crossed paths with death himself.

Everyone, including Leah, crouched under their seats, fearing that the flying bullets would claim their lives from nowhere. Two minutes later, Zhang Heng told them, “Okay, you can come out from the hiding. We are safe for now.”

“Uhh… are you sure? I heard that he could snipe the farthest. How far did he shoot when he was being deployed at the ski resort?”

“We are in a city now, not an open environment like a ski resort,” Zhang Heng explained patiently, “The route I chose has a building as cover. The snipers can’t shoot us from here.”

“That’s a relief..” Waldo finally relaxed and returned to his seat.

Although out of danger, Ponytail wasn’t looking too good. “Those people are not targeting us. Their target is Edward. Black Nest’s patience is finally running out, and they do not intend to use peaceful means to resolve this matter.”

“Edward is in a dangerous situation now. We must find him before they do.” Semiprime said in a rare occurrence that he spoke up.

“But the only person who knew his whereabouts has just died in front of us.”

As soon as Little Boy said these words, everyone fell silent again. Although still less than forty, Ponytail was the oldest among the team, and he’d never faced a life and death situation before. Ever since he got himself involved in Black Nest’s and Edward’s matter, he had witnessed death twice.

When Ponytail jumped down from the bridge, he survived miraculously somehow. However, Iron Fist was really dead this time. There was no way that he could survive that fatal shot.

“I’ve been thinking about a question along the way: how did Black Nest find us here?” Philip, who had not spoken in a while, asked.

“Eh?”

“No one knows Edward’s abilities better than us, but the guy who died just a few minutes ago said that Black Nest raided their residence two weeks ago. Judging from Edward’s character, he would only become more cautious. At the same time, he must have found out the reason behind it and took precautionary measures. But even so, Black Nest still managed to locate him two weeks later.”

“Are you trying to say that someone betrayed Edward?” Little Boy raised her eyebrows, “At a time like this, there are not many Edward can trust. Iron Fist is definitely not the one that betrayed him. After all, he is already, uhh… that way. So only Mr. Gilm is left, but considering what happened to his son’s family before, it is unlikely he’s on Black Nest’s side.”

“I’m not saying that there is a traitor among us, but that there must be something that allowed Black Nest to locate Edward,” Philip sighed, “unfortunately, we don’t know what that thing is.” “It’s CTOS,” Zhang Heng, who was driving, interrupted suddenly.

“Eh?”

“Black nest has connected CTOS to this city.”
