SPLASH!!
Half a minute later, the river surrounding the inner city churned violently.
Having broken through the blockade, Lu Chao leaped into the water.
Ever since deciding to eliminate Ruan Hui, he had meticulously planned his moves.
Using his security missions as cover to travel between the inner and outer cities, he had scouted ahead and chosen several escape routes.
The bridge across the river was the only obvious path, but the Mechanical Violence Team had it locked down, making a direct confrontation inadvisable.
In contrast, the hundred-meter-wide river encircling the city was undoubtedly the best place for a stealthy escape.
"Where'd he go?"
"He's gone!"
"Could he be in the water?"
"Search for him!"
Voices drifted from the riverbank behind him, punctuated by the heavy tread of footsteps and the whir of drones flying overhead.
Lu Chao dove several meters to the riverbed, having already disengaged his Frenzy State.
