Chapter 1037: Arrange the Plan! Is the Clearance Over?!

These words are not fabricated.

Everything has a trace to follow.

From the beginning, everything unfolds with the tentacle as the core.

Whether it's slaying monsters or the guard laboratory here that pretends nothing is amiss.

Seemingly unrelated tasks, when linked by results and clues, can be strung together.

The only thing that needs to be clarified now is how the mastermind could set up such a grand and precise plan in such a short time.

And also…

Is he actually a player?

"If the tentacle monster is the core key, then what is the mastermind's purpose in cultivating it?" Zhuang Wu asked.

"If he is a player, then everything is for Clearance and Achievement."

"If he is an NPC, the answer is obvious: to rule White Bear City, perhaps even the whole world!" Su Yang said.

This…

As Su Yang said, they only need to go against the mastermind's intent to achieve Clearance.

And even obtain the crucial rare Hidden Achievement.

At that time, the Third Stage Prison will conclude perfectly.

Going to the Continent will also grant greater influence.

It may even unlock 'Recruitment'.

Regardless of the perspective.

These are all unmissable opportunities.

Therefore, in this 'Death Hunt' game, Su Yang must achieve perfect Clearance.

Even if the tentacle monster is extremely tough, it must be eradicated!

"What should we do next?" Lu Junsheng asked.

"Find the remaining two critical experimental results in full."

"Since the tentacle monster is especially interested in the Bee King, we don't need to take the initiative at all."

"It will definitely come to us on its own!" Su Yang said calmly.

"But…" Guo Fan frowned, "We lack the 'key'."

Guo Fan's daughter is of utmost importance.

At present, the mother and daughter are missing, and Guo Fan has also vanished.

Inevitably, they will be eyed by those with ulterior motives.

If someone else gets there first…

The consequences would be unimaginable.

"It's simple: just assign someone to keep watch over the entrance," Su Yang said.

Upon hearing this, Ximen Zhirou's eyes lit up, "Waiting for a rabbit by the tree?"

Su Yang gave no answer, shrugged, "Instead of searching the whole city, better to wait quietly for them to come."

"Then what do the others do?" Lu Junsheng asked curiously.

"If I haven't miscalculated, the equipment should be almost ready," Su Yang said, glancing at the time—

11:31 PM.

Speaking of that, he added, "Additionally, I have an agreement with a team leader from the Law Enforcement Department; tomorrow we will launch an operation to seize Blue Whale Company's research results."

"She needs the Angel's power, I need answers."

"Both sides get what they need, a perfect match."

"Meanwhile, her side will bring some of her own people to boost combat power."

"Similarly, I can bring people on my side."

"So now we can discuss who is willing to be the 'Observer'."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a stir.

They didn't expect Su Yang had already prearranged the operation.

The target turned out to be Blue Whale Company's top‑secret Experimental Product.

Its value is on par with the Bee King!

Thinking that holding three results would unlock the Hidden Achievement makes their hearts blaze.

"I have to go to Blue Whale Company; my Innate Talent can clear obstacles for you and prevent the opponent's small moves," Yue Lan stepped forward.

Su Yang nodded slightly; her importance was self‑evident.

Wen Ran didn't think much, stood up and said, "Count me in; my Innate Talent is 'Assassination', and although it only triggers once per hour, it can have unexpected effects at critical moments."

Wang Defa said resolutely, "I can perform 'Mind Control', catching them off guard!"

Zhuang Wu, seeing this, quickly raised his hand, "My Innate Talent is 'Extreme Speed'; I'm adept at both fleeing and chasing down targets."

Ximen Zhirou did not respond immediately; he was still hesitating.

As for Zhang Tiancheng and Luo Qing beside them, no further explanation was needed.

Yue Lan will certainly bring them.

Otherwise they'd be isolated and unable to guarantee interests.

Although she has a certain rapport with Su Yang.

But in the face of profit, no one can guarantee the other won't harbor ill intent.

Therefore, having two people by one's side at least provides some security.

One 'Steelification', one 'Explosion'.

The strength needs no further explanation; Yu Ning trusts her partners.

At this moment, Wang Yuning glanced at the indecisive Ximen Zhirou and volunteered, "I'll monitor this area."

Ximen Zhirou looked at her with a surprised expression.

"My Innate Talent is 'Fusion'; at critical moments I can conceal my whereabouts, and I believe no one present can outtrack me in monitoring this area."

"If sudden danger arises, I can also protect myself."

"So… I'm the best choice," Yu Ning said calmly.

Hearing her analysis, everyone nodded silently.

Indeed, from any angle.

Yu Ning is the unequivocal choice.

She remains composed and calm when faced with matters, and her methods are ruthless and decisive.

No one is more suitable than her.

"Alright, when the time comes, Wang Defa will draw the location and take Yu Ning there early for a site check," Su Yang arranged.

"Understood!" Wang Defa nodded solemnly.

"Everyone else wait for orders; after tonight's rest, start the 'Re-modification' tomorrow," Su Yang said, looking around.

Afterwards Su Yang repaired the operation details and the related matters to note.

Half an hour later, the vehicle abruptly stopped.

"We've arrived!" Cai Xu unbuckled his seatbelt, stood up, and stretched lazily.

After driving for several hours, his waist ached and his back hurt.

He felt unprecedented fatigue and drowsiness.

But thinking of the generous reward made his eyes sparkle.

As the car doors opened, everyone got out.

The first thing that caught their eyes was the dilapidated street.

More than half of the shops on both sides were surrounded by flames.

Thick black smoke, acrid and foul.

Shortly after the unrest began, this place became deserted and empty.

Shattered paper drifted on the street, the atmosphere bleak.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help to sigh inwardly.

"Mr. 'Demon', I've delivered the location to you," Cai Xu, full of anticipation, rubbed his hands and grinned with a wide toothy smile.

Su Yang glanced at Yue Lan.

Yue Lan understood and immediately tapped his Hand Ring against Su Yang.

The next moment, a transfer notification sounded.

Cai Xu looked at the tens of thousands of huge funds that appeared in the account, his smile deepening.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back first; contact me if needed," he waved goodbye.

Watching his departing back, Ximen Zhirou's face showed a strange expression, "He probably heard our whole conversation just now; should we…"

Saying that, he made a neck‑wiping gesture.

Su Yang's eyes flickered, and he shook his head: "Not for now; keeping it still has use."

Ximen Zhirou, hearing that, stopped insisting and began checking the Hand Ring map.

According to the map, this is the east side of Central City District, only fifty kilometers from Sunset District.

The reason for choosing this spot is that it lies in the middle area of the Three Major Companies.

It belongs to a jointly governed region.

Future operations will be most convenient here; it's also a hidden spot under the lights.

"Look!"

Suddenly, Zhuang Wu shouted.

Everyone turned together and looked in that direction.

A familiar Gate suddenly appeared not far away.

Immediately after, a silhouette rushed out of an alley, grasped the Door Handle and opened the big door.

Then he glanced toward them, a smile appearing on his face.

It seemed both mocking and sympathetic.

Then with a step he entered and vanished completely.

Seeing this, everyone was stunned as if turned to stone.

"What's going on?"

"He seems… to have cleared the Clearance!?!"
