Chapter 477: Chapter 174: Cat and Mouse, the Embarrassed Mu Shuang!

Mu Shuang frowned slightly, with a hint of reality in her tone complaining about the prices.

"Wow, big sister knows quite a bit."

Er Long laughed, returned the badge to her, and stepped aside to clear the path, "No problem, go over there to queue for the stuff."

Is that it?

Mu Shuang chuckled inwardly. She was not like those four fools who only considered hiding their identities when undercover.

The true disguise is about immediately understanding the local customs, probing the grassroots livelihood, truly immersing oneself, and then blending in seamlessly.

Moreover, she grew up in the Buffer Zone, if she couldn’t figure out these trivial matters about prices, she’d be living in vain!

"Next step, find a way to slip out of the community!" She planned in her mind.

Besides the hallway door, Cheng Ye’s men surely guarded the community’s exits as well.

But now that she’s out of the apartment building, getting out of the community should be a piece of cake.

Yet, she had just taken two steps forward when Jiang Chuan’s voice suddenly blasted through her earpiece, "They’ve found you!"

There was not a moment’s hesitation; years of partnership made her react instantly.

As Jiang Chuan’s words fell, Mu Shuang quickly rolled to the ground, simultaneously extracting a smoke grenade from her left boot, fingers clutching the pull ring.

As expected, the sound of guns being drawn erupted behind her, Er Long already had his gun in hand, the barrel pointed directly at where she had just been.

Lucky for her, they were only handguns; no one used rifles, which would mean her mission was not entirely failed.

Boom.

The special smoke grenade exploded with a roar, thick gray-white smoke instantly enveloped the doorway, obstructing all views.

Mu Shuang took advantage of the smoke cover, sprinting arrow-like back into the hallway, flying up the stairs.

For the first time undercover, being aimed at by so many guns, her heart couldn’t help but race.

"How did they find me?"

"I don’t know, maybe you answered something wrong?"

"Impossible! Definitely not wrong!" Mu Shuang dashed back to the fourth floor, only to find no sounds of pursuit from below.

This made her heart sink, but there was no time to think about it now, she turned and rushed towards the rooftop.

On the rooftop, she crouched and dashed towards Unit 3 beside her, which faced the street, the quickest escape point.

Several militia members crouching at Unit 2’s rooftop immediately raised their guns to aim.

However, ultimately their strength was vastly inferior, Mu Shuang raised her hand, throwing the second smoke grenade from her right boot.

With a boom, gray smoke quickly engulfed half the rooftop’s view.

But she didn’t take the opportunity to dash through; instead, she suddenly shifted position, flipping the flash sheets clenched in her palm, while pulling out a strong flashlight directed at the militia.

The militia who were about to fire, their vision already impaired by smoke, were instantly blinded by the sudden burst of strong light.

By the time they reacted, Mu Shuang was already close by, her moves were so lightning-fast they were untraceable, in a flash, she’d disarmed them and delivered a drop knife to the back of the neck, leaving them groaning and unconscious.

The four remaining militia in Unit 3 met the same fate, effectively disarmed and knocked unconscious.

"You’ve got some skills..."

Jiang Chuan couldn’t help but praise.

Without using Extraordinary Force, putting it under Embryo Realm combat power, to reach this point was enough to prove that Mu Shuang’s wilderness years weren’t wasted, her combat abilities far exceeded his estimation.

"Cut the nonsense, what’s the situation now?"

"Er Long is leading a chase from Unit 1, Long is blocking you in Unit 3,"

Jiang Chuan paused, his tone heavy, "Cheng Ye is leading a team up from Unit 2."

"I’m pulling out!"

Mu Shuang didn’t even think.

Er Long and Long both had Embryo Realm abilities, albeit false embryos, but once entangled in the narrow hallway, it could easily slow down her pace; at that point, she’d be surrounded.

Cheng Ye, the Intern Inspector who hadn’t mastered all Four Forces, was presently the weakest link.

But if Cheng Ye blocked the hallway, set up with a gun, that would be the end.

The three-side encirclement would leave her nowhere to go.

Whoosh.

The grappling hook latch onto the corner of the rooftop, Mu Shuang skillfully flipped her body, quickly pressing against the building’s surface while descending.

Fourth floor, third floor, second floor...

In the span of three to five breaths, she fell to the second floor, her body like a sleek cat, stepping on the wall, rolling to the ground.

It’s been so long since I’ve been this embarrassed...

Mu Shuang shook her head inwardly, her heart filled with remorse.

Unexpectedly, her first encounter with Cheng Ye ended in such a thorough defeat, her meticulously prepared disguise seemed fake, utterly ineffective.

Luckily, there was still room to maneuver, as long as she could pull out of this community and hide...

Boom!

Her thoughts still swirling.

The window near her landing spot suddenly exploded, wood frame mixed with shards of glass splattered out in a fan shape.

A rapidly moving shadow wrapped in a whirling wind broke through the window hole.

The figure collided like a stone mill blasted by huge force, landing as though untouched by gravity, not even bending a knee, standing erectly three steps in front of her.

The shadow’s mouth curved with a faint smile, sizing her up and down.

Seeming to admire his prey, or perhaps deliberately delaying time.

"Big sister, since you’ve come, now isn’t the time for you to leave."
