Chapter 75: [Overtake II]

[China, South of Wuhan, Hong kong]

Walking along the street leading to Hongkong, both Kanzaki and Alice were keeping a low profile as they carefully sneak into every corner as possible

In fact both of them knew nothing of Hong Kong

"Isabelle any heads up? What's the situation of Hong Kong?" Asked Kanzaki through the comms

Of course receiving the communication signal from Kanzaki after about more than 10 hrs interval, Isabelle immediately called out towards Ai and Jessica as they too were waiting for some knees to the others who have gone out of the city

Since no one has contacted them yet, they then took leisure to listen on kanzaki's and Alice signal

(Hong Kong?)

As Isabelle asked this Kanzaki replied

"Yep! Do you have any idea?"

(Wait a minute)

With that Isabelle immediately looked it up as she started operating her computer at top speed towards the current information of the organization on every city in particular details

(I got one! Hong Kong has still fairly a intact city on some parts of them, since they had one then it's natural that they also had a branch of our organization in there, but rest assured the chaos creatures over there are daily subjugated by the teams going out of the city)

When Isabelle said that Kanzaki then replied

"I'm not planning on going in, I'm planning to go beyond it on Southwest of it, monitor any movement you may find on the radar alright?" Asked Kanzaki

(You can leave that to me)

Hearing that Kanzaki felt even more assured as he looked towards Alice who seemed tired for a moment as she was carrying a really heavy package that is her weapon cased inside

"Are you okay?" Asked Kanzaki

"I'm fine! Im Just a little bit tired, that's all"

Seeing that Kanzaki then took her case and carried it himself

"Sorry for making you carry this halfway, but I'll carry it now since I'm worried that you may fall" said Kanzaki

With what Kanzaki said Alice suddenly arched up into a cheeky smile as she teased

"Aw! So sweet"

"Hah? No! This is not sweet, it's what a friend should do right?" Refuted Kanzaki

"Fine! Fine whatever"

Having a short conversation like that Kanzaki then looked around and saw a coast clear way as he directed it

"Let's go!"

With that one word they once more moved south

[China, East of Wuhan, Shanghai]

Entering a desolate place where no sign of life could be seen, Ryuuji clearly remembered that the city of Shanghai didn't survive the catastrophe 10 years ago, causing it's current situation

Occasionally he could even see some chaos best roaming along the way including chaos monster's up in the building, sometimes he could also see some chimera lurking into the darkness

The good things was that there were no sight of chaos Knight's not Titan's on the area

"Looks like a great place to hide... Do i have to search all over Shanghai?"

As Ryuuji asked himself that question he then hid to a corner before contacting Ai his supporter

"Jessica! Shanghai status report" ordered Ryuuji

Few minutes have passed since Kanzaki and Alice had reported their whereabouts, a signal popped up on Jessica's computer near where Isabelle was working at

Upon seeing this she immediately replied through her comms

(Still desolate as ever just like how we left it few months ago, bit if your referring that if it is suitable for hiding, then pretty much is what I would say)

Hearing that Ryuuji's eyes started turning red as his aura became violent

Using his mana he then started to pull out his weapon from the space shift where he always put it behind

With a loud thud, Jessica instantly noticed what Ryuuji was going to do

(And what do you think your going to do? Are you planning on razing the whole Shanghai to the ground?)

"Pretty much since this place is roamed with various chaos creatures, if I try to sneak in then it won't be long till I get found out, at least I need to kill a few of them before working on finding the hidden place right?"

As Ryuuji suggested that, Jessica on the other hand was at a loss for words, but in the end she can't refute his wants since a flood of chaos creatures in different level was really troublesome that could lead to one's death

Soon after he received a phone call coming from Greg, of course she didn't know how Greg knew her number

Apparently Greg ordered James back in Hawaii to hack into Jessica's online account to atleast get her contact, naturally such plot was successful causing Greg to be able to call Jessica

(Greg the person you travelled with has called and said that he had arrived on Lhasa but only saw a barren city, infectious of hundreds of chaos creatures, he plans to destroy them first before checking the borders to Nepal and Bangladesh)

Hearing that Ryuuji felt like both him and Greg me at have arrived at the same conclusion of cleaning up the place, meaning it was also a possibility that Lhasa on the west of Wuhan was where the hideout of Argie Franklin a.k.a Undead

"Is that so... Then my speculations that this is where he will be hiding has gone down by a few percent" said Ryuuji

(Oh yeah? By how much?)

"10%... I still think that I'm 90% right" insisted Ryuuji

(Ugh! Your shameless, arrogant, bastard...)

Not intending to reply, Ryuuji then started gathering Mana around himself causing flames to appear on his huge sword Ifrit as he suddenly charged in with a huge bang

In one attack he destroyed a whole section using his flames causing the surrounding area to suddenly get swarmed up by chaos beings in different levels to attacks him

Stepping up proudly he then charged through their numbers

The same thing could be said on Greg's side in Lhasa

[China, North of Wuhan, Beijing]

Walking just right outside of this former capital of China, Jinwoo could feel the gloomy atmosphere in the air as he casually saw few chaos being roaming around

At times he could spot several chimera hovering up to the sky as if it was a drone if not for his excellent eyesight

Since Beijing is a huge city, Jinwoo naturally though that the undead might have used this place to hide himself, but he thought it otherwise since that would have been a reckless decision and time consuming

"If it were me, I would've have like to escape the country and continue my research In another country myself"

As he thought of this he then surely bypassed Beijing and went further north as he realized the air around it suddenly started to get chill as he goes further up

Even though he hated such a thing like a reconnaissance mission unlike Ryuuji, he really need to do it this time, since the enemy has something that can literally wipe the all out of existence of not stopped

Soon after he arrived at the place or particularly the one way up further north and out of the border of China

With few information regarding the place up north of China, he then decided to ask of it from Ai

"Hey can you find something up for me? What place is north of China around it's border?"

After hearing that Ai nonchalantly replied

(Well duh! It's Mongolia)

"Mongolia?"

Hearing that Jinwoo started to hesitate in crossing it since that place is way colder than where he is now currently

But such an idea was soon changed when he suddenly saw foot tracks on the way towards the border

Seeing that it was still fresh, Jinwoo became even more ascertain that undead was at this border

"I found something... Call you later"
