A few seconds later, Lin Yi placed his hand behind his back and signaled at Zhou Liang.
The latter understood and quietly crawled out of the sewer.
Lin Yi’s body quickly moved to the other side of the intersection.
The two of them stood on opposite sides of each other.
Lin Yi pointed at the two people outside and gestured at his throat.
Zhou Liang nodded, understanding what Lin Yi meant.
Looking around, Lin Yi found a small stone on the ground, picked it up, and threw it aside.
Although the sound was not loud, it attracted the attention of the two guards.
“I heard a sound back there,” one of them said.
“Could you have misheard? It’s already midnight. You must be hallucinating after standing guard here for a day.”
“I think we should go over and take a look. What if it’s those two Huaxians?”
“That’s impossible. We’ve been searching here for three days, but there’s no trace of them. I’m guessing the two Huaxians have already escaped, but we just don’t know it yet.”
“Still, let’s go over and take a look. What if it’s something else? Besides, I’m sleepy. I want to move around.”
“Let’s go then. I’ll follow you.”
The two of them turned around and walked into the alley with weapons in their hands.
Lin Yi and Zhou Liang, who were waiting inside, were tense and ready to attack at any time.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, accompanied by the sound of two people talking.
It was obvious that the two of them did not take the strange sound seriously since they were still chatting and laughing.
After keeping watch here for three days, they thought that Lin Yi and Zhou Liang had escaped.
Unexpectedly, the two of them had been hiding in the sewers for three days.
As the two of them approached, Zhou Liang’s heart beat faster.
Cold sweat trickled down his forehead, soaking his clothes.
To him, life and death would be decided in this instant!
At this moment, the two of them reached the intersection. Lin Yi and Zhou Liang rushed up from behind!
The two of them moved in unison and grabbed the opposite party by the throat. It was broken on the spot!
The two of them did it cleanly, not giving the other the chance to catch their breath. They did not make a single sound as they did this.
Only then did Lin Yi realize that their armbands were imprinted with the image of a cobra.
Without a doubt, these people were the first ones to have attacked him.
“Hurry up and change your clothes!”
After taking care of them, Lin Yi began to take off one of their clothes while Zhou Liang did the same.
In less than five minutes, the two of them had changed their clothes.
Now that they were a steel helmet and a dust mask, coupled with the cover of the night, if one did not look carefully, it would be difficult to tell that there was anything wrong with the two of them.
As for the two people who were killed, they were dragged into the sewers without anyone knowing.
After tidying up, the two of them walked towards the entrance of the alley.
“Relax. You’ll expose yourself before anyone notices.”
Zhou Liang took a deep breath. “Got it. I’ll try my best to control myself.”
Even though he had done a lot of basic training in the Central Guards Brigade, his lack of actual combat experience could not be made up for.
But now, he couldn’t care less. Even if he wasn’t used to it, he had to bite the bullet.
There weren’t that many rehearsals in life.
Lin Yi walked in front calmly. He saw people wearing the same clothes as him on the other side of the road. They even waved and greeted him without anyone noticing.
Lin Yi used his peripheral vision to observe his surroundings.
He found a jeep parked more than 20 meters away.
The helmets they wore were also marked with the symbol of an eye and a snake, indicating they were part of the same group.
“Come on, follow me.”
“Okay, okay…”
Zhou Liang tried to remain composed, but realized it was impossible to fully restrain himself.
Within a hundred meters radius, there were people everywhere, at least thirty or so, and that was just on one street.
One could imagine the state the entire city of Santa Clara had descended into.
