Chapter 181 - Crisis (2/2)

Shadow Capital.

In the hotel room, Zero rushed out of the bathroom and quickly changed into his refugee like rags. He didn't even have time to buy a new set of battle uniform. He rushed out of Mony's room and told Monnie and Atisha, who were looking at the young man in the room, ”We have to leave immediately!” He frowned as he stuffed a piece of black bread into his mouth.

Mony was stunned and asked subconsciously, ”Why?”

Zero shook his head and said, ”I don't know why, but I have a very bad feeling about it!”

Without another word, Monnie pulled up Zerutan. She had followed Zero for a long time, knowing that it was as sensitive to danger as a wild animal. Now that he felt the danger, he could not stay in the hotel any longer. They didn't have much luggage, either, and the four of them hurried down the hotel stairs as Natasha picked up the saw in the corner.

When he arrived at the lobby, Zero made a gesture. The four of them stopped and whispered, ”Something is wrong. Why is there no one here?”

Monnie and the other two looked around. As expected, the hall was extremely quiet. Even the staff at the counter had disappeared without a trace, as if all the people in the hotel had mysteriously disappeared. The street outside the hotel was also empty. Although it was afternoon and there were few people on the street, it was not like there was not a single person around. With his body leaning against the wall, he came to a window. The window was closed, and he used his fingers to push open a crack. Then he raised his head slightly.

The strong feeling of the needle spread throughout his body in an instant. Without giving it much thought, he immediately fell to the ground. Almost at the same time, the window frame where Zero had stuck his head out from exploded. The metal frame was twisted and deformed. A bullet was embedded within it. The sound of sniping equipment could be heard coming from outside the hotel.

Sniper!

Zero cursed silently. Needless to say, the hotel was already under the tight control of some powerful force. The enemy snipers who were attacking them must have occupied a high point nearby. If they were exposed to the assassins, they would be met with a fatal blow.

But, which faction do these people belong to? Could it be Parkland?

This thought flashed through Ling Chen's mind. This was a very normal revenge. Zero had killed Sauron in the ruins, but Sauron's men had not been wiped out. They would soon find Sauron's body and bring the news back to Parkland. However, when Zero used his rich sniper experience to find the enemy's sniper position and closed in on the enemy's image, he saw a soldier wearing a black uniform.

A familiar symbol appeared in the middle of the soldier's tactical helmet. He had seen the pattern of the sword and shield on Saurun before. It was the emblem of the Dark Council. In other words, the people surrounding the hotel were from the Dark Council. And for them to be able to immediately do such a thing on the very day they arrived at the Shadow Capital, it was clear that the Dark Council had put in some manpower there.

If he had known in advance that the Shadow Capital had an army of the Dark Council on guard, he would not have recklessly entered this city. Zero knew very well that killing a Blood Cavalry was enough reason for the Dark Council to take revenge on him. However, he didn't expect that the other party's revenge would come so quickly.
