Chapter 827

What the secret practitioners wanted most was to return to Port Artyom . There was hot water and food there . Most importantly, there were Class A experts there as well . They would be safe .

The arrival of Francesco was not just a gesture of kindness . It also meant that the large organizations did not want the secret practitioners to go back to Port Artyom .

What if these secret practitioners returned to Port Artyom and ran away?

Furthermore, there were too many uncertainties among this crowd . Why would the large organizations care about how the secret practitioners felt?

A secret practitioner roared angrily, “We want to return to Port Artyom and escape from this place! We are no match for the bronze armored soldiers from the Heavenly Network! Furthermore, we think that our lives are more important than profits! Let us return to Port Artyom!”

The moment he finished speaking, someone beside Francesco charged towards him and was immediately sliced into two halves .

The secret practitioners could feel a chill down their spines . They killed someone just like this? Just because he said something .

Were these people dumb? Lu Shu felt that they could leave as they pleased . Practitioners could go anywhere . As long as you did not cause trouble, you would be able to leave this place .

They did not have food, did not have a proper way out, and had to live in fear . If Lu Shu was in this situation, he did not want to put his fate in the hands of the large organizations, even if he had to be in a state of anxiety and resist his hunger .

Francesco’s expression did not change even as someone was being killed right in front of him . He laughed . “Everyone, please rest at ease here . The rations will reach you . Sorry, but the tent cannot hold so many people at one time . Please make do with this . ”

Francesco left, but a few hundred people from the Department of Faith Theory walked among the crowd, as if they were guarding them .

The secret practitioners obediently sat down like quails . They did not even dare to move . A few hundred people watched over the thousands of secret practitioners just like that . It was like a scene straight out of a fantasy movie .

Some of the secret practitioners on the outskirts tried to run away, but the members of the Department of Faith Theory chased and killed them . After they were done, they returned to their positions without a word .

Lu Shu was dumbfounded . Some members directed the secret practitioners to take the corpses away . He did not believe that the Department of Faith Theory would be kind enough to help the secret practitioners .

He watched silently as the members brought the secret practitioners to dispose of the bodies in the forest . But they did not return either .

But Lu Shu did not care about the lives of these secret practitioners . He only cared about whether he would be able to enter Port Artyom and lie low . He would then find the controller .

Suddenly, a member of the Department of Faith Theory said to Lu Shu and the people around him, “Come with me . ”

Lu Shu and the secret practitioners hesitantly followed the member . They walked deeper and deeper into the forest . The member of the Department of Faith Theory suddenly stopped and turned to look at them . He had wanted to say something, but he was dumbfounded when he saw Lu Shu . He observed Lu Shu carefully . “Have we met…”

“From Andera Tombari’s distress, +1000!”

Lu Shu kept the Sparrow Shade . There was not even a drop of blood on it .

The secret practitioners were dumbfounded . They knelt on the ground and offered themselves as sacrifices .

They had thought that the Department of Faith Theory was very aggressive in killing people . But Lu Shu’s speed was even more frightening!

But before they could react, they lost consciousness . The Sparrow Shade had pierced through all their heads . The moment the member of the Department of Faith Theory recognized him, he did not intend on letting any of them escape alive .

Lu Shu was melancholic . He did not intend to kill anyone, but someone had asked for death .

Why did they have to destroy his character? Huh? Why?!

What should he do? Should he leave the group and head towards Port Artyom, or should he stay here and create trouble for the Department of Faith Theory?

Lu Shu decided to go to Port Artyom . His identity might be exposed, and he would waste more time if he stayed here .

He turned and looked at the trees behind him . He then headed towards Port Artyom with determination .

It would take two days to reach Port Artyom based on the walking speed of the secret practitioners . But Lu Shu would be able to reach it in half a day .

He did not go there directly, as there would be many Metahumans along the path from the secret practitioners’ campsite to Port Artyom . He would not be able to explain why he was heading to Port Artyom alone .

He walked through forests, crossed rivers, and climbed mountains . Lu Shu enjoyed the convenience that his abilities brought him . It was as if he was walking on even ground .

He progressed at full speed . After all, every second was important in a war .

The route that he had chosen was the most difficult route . He did not even see one Metahuman . But when he reached Port Artyom, he realized that something was wrong . The port was not as crowded as he had expected . He did not even see any large organizations patrolling Port Artyom . Lu Shu only saw a logistics team busy with their work .

But they were very different from the logistics team in the Heavenly Network . They were ordinary people who had been hired on the spot .

Lu Shu was puzzled . In the end, he decided to enter anyway . He silently walked to the north of Port Artyom and entered a small city . He then wandered around in the city . He finally confirmed the fact that a majority of the large organizations were no longer here .

What was this? Where was everyone? This was different from the information he had received . There was only a handful of Metahumans in Port Artyom . Only 2000 people had died . This was definitely not the full strength of the large organizations .

In the end, he could not take it anymore . He pretended as if nothing had happened and asked someone, “Where did everyone go?”

Lu Shu was shocked when he heard the answer…

The large organizations had headed off to the secret practitioners’ campsite in just half a day . Everyone from the large organizations was heading towards the campsite that Lu Shu had just left . They were going to build a base there and prepare to infiltrate the Changbai Mountains!

“What…” Lu Shu walked around the messy Port Artyom . He was speechless . Why was he so conflicted? He should have stayed at the campsite…

Couldn’t he lie low just for once? Couldn’t his plans succeed just for once?

Lu Shu looked at the logistics base in Port Artyom . There were some vehicles transporting goods .

Lu Shu had treated money like dirt for once just so that he could lie low . But if everyone was not willing to cooperate, then he would not have mercy on them…
