Chapter 409 "Hangman Ghost

A temporary encampment resembling a military outpost had been set up on the bridge leading to the apartment complex: Several simple tents, with police cars and trucks parked nearby. Inside the tents, one could vaguely see the flickering lights of red and green indicators on the equipment, and people with hasty expressions hustled to and fro.

Between the tents at the outskirts of the camp, one could see sentries in military uniform and patrol officers in police attire. Occasionally, someone would pace back and forth, yelling into a walkie-talkie; at other times, people would hurriedly hop into a car with their companions and speed off towards the city.

This place resembled a frontline battlefield one might see in a war movie, tense and incredibly noisy, as if a small spark could set off an explosion.
