Chapter 343 -179 Target Number 2_3

Zhuge Liuyun’s face showed a cautious expression; he subtly signaled, and Xiaolan, who had been following him all along without speaking, immediately stepped forward to examine the brick that should have been shattered. A strange expression appeared on her face too; as the sniper responsible for the shot, her vision was remarkable, so she knew precisely where her bullet had hit.

Xiaolan clearly remembered that after her killing shot hit the Destroyer, the bullet exited the Destroyer’s body and finally struck this brick, even leaving a hole in it. But why did the brick now seem to be intact?

Filled with doubts, Xiaolan tapped and examined the brick with her hand but didn’t notice anything unusual. To her, the brick didn’t seem to have been switched, as it looked identical to the other bricks, without any differences. However, what was bizarre was that she had glanced at this brick when leaving the room, and at that time, there was a hole in the brick. Why was the hole now gone?

If no one had replaced this brick, then where did the bullet hole and the bullet go? The bullet had passed through the Destroyer’s body, carrying the Destroyer’s blood on the warhead. By recovering this bullet, they would be able to obtain the Destroyer’s DNA. Then, by searching within a global range, they could determine the identity of the Destroyer. Even if they couldn’t find the Destroyer’s body in the Seine River, obtaining the DNA from the bullet would essentially lock down the Destroyer’s identity and help trace the organization behind the Destroyer. But this important bullet head had disappeared, why?

Not only was Xiaolan a person of meticulous thoughts, but she also possessed various amazing abilities; still, facing such a strange situation, she couldn’t deduce what had happened. However, since the bullet head had disappeared, the only way to confirm the Destroyer’s identity was to find the Destroyer’s submerged body. Yet, the Destroyer hadn’t been located by the search vessel along the Seine River just then, so where could the Destroyer be now? Surveillance Cameras were installed all along the Seine River’s banks, which hadn’t caught any signs of someone climbing ashore, so the Destroyer must still be at the bottom of the Seine. But where in the river?

Zhuge Liuyun, originally a picture of composure, became anxious after discovering that the situation at the scene had exceeded his expectations and began to seek help from Xiaolan. He trusted Xiaolan’s reasoning entirely, placing all his hope on her. He saw Xiaolan looking out at the turbulent Seine River and then at the search vessel heading downstream.

Suddenly, Xiaolan’s eyes lit up as she thought of a possibility, and she quickly whispered a few words into Zhuge Liuyun’s ear. Zhuge Liuyun’s spirits lifted; he walked over to Bolton and Robin, who were observing the surface of the Seine, and said, “We’ve been misled, thinking that after the Destroyer was critically wounded by my bullet here, the swift currents would carry him downstream, and so we all searched in that direction. But we’ve overlooked a possibility: the Destroyer isn’t an ordinary person; he is a superhuman with powerful physical abilities. Even if he was hit by my bullet, he didn’t lose his mobility completely, which means he might not have been carried downstream but could have swum in the opposite direction, towards the upstream of the Seine.”

Upon hearing Zhuge Liuyun’s words, Robin and Bolton’s eyes immediately brightened. Being ordinary humans, they were not very familiar with the abilities of martial artists and subconsciously thought that the Destroyer, once shot, would lose the ability to move and naturally be swept downstream. Now, reminded by Zhuge Liuyun, they quickly shifted their gaze towards the Seine’s upstream.

With a new target, Bolton began issuing orders loudly, dispatching a search vessel to search upstream on the Seine. The vessel moved against the current towards upstream upon receiving the orders, using various equipment on board to search the riverbed. After Zhuge Liuyun’s reminder, this search vessel proceeded slowly, carefully inspecting the riverbed and sparing no corner from scrutiny.

After traveling about one kilometer upstream, the search vessel’s special instrument still hadn’t picked up any signal, and everyone was getting somewhat discouraged. Just then, however, another piece of equipment on the vessel emitted some abnormal data. This data revealed an enormous metallic reaction in the middle of the riverbed. Upon further observation with this equipment, they discovered a large piece of metal in the middle of the riverbed that had a clear airplane shape.

Upon retrieving this latest intelligence, Robin, who had been following the search vessel, brightened. After exchanging glances with Bolton and seeing the excited look in each other’s eyes, Bolton’s worried expression vanished instantaneously, replaced by one of exhilaration. He picked up the radio and issued a new order, “Target two spotted, proceed with Plan B immediately!”

As Bolton’s order went out, an array of US military vehicles suddenly appeared on the roads along the Seine River, unknown when they arrived. These military vehicles were filled with Fully Armed soldiers, braving the downpour as they encircled that stretch of the river.

Zhuge Liuyun and Xiaolan, still on the vessel, exchanged glances, feeling uneasy, as if they might have overlooked something crucial and had been outmaneuvered by the Americans and the British. And General Alain from France, standing beside them, shared the same thought.
