He walked past without a glance, finally finding the door with the “Manager’s Office” sign hanging on it.

Su Kai pushed the door open, but the scene before him made him freeze for a moment.

The room was much messier than he had imagined.Full novel: The Boys: Reincarnated as The Deep, Starting with Starlight — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

Files were scattered all over the floor, drawers had been pulled out and overturned, and various tables and chairs looked as if they had been crushed by immense force, lying in twisted pieces everywhere.

It felt completely like someone had ransacked the place and cleaned it out.

And at the very back of the room, the large gray safe embedded in the wall had its door completely deformed, twisted open towards the outside.

Inside, however, it was completely empty; not even a single coin remained.

Su Kai’s expression darkened instantly.

“Damn it, I got sniped?!”

He walked over and crouched in front of the safe to take a look.

The safe door had been pried open by brute force; there were obvious metal tearing marks on the edges, and even the safe body itself had been completely twisted.

The lock cylinder was completely destroyed.

The technique was crude, but the strength was definitely not small.

“Damn it,” Su Kai cursed, “I really got sniped!!”

He had worked so hard to clear out the monsters, only to come back and find that the treasure chest had been looted?

This feeling was just like finishing a boss in a game, only to turn around and see that the dropped artifact had already been picked up by someone else; his blood pressure was through the roof.

He stood up and quickly scanned the office.

Besides the safe, other places that could hide money or valuables had also been turned over.

The computer tower case had been dismantled, and the hard drive was gone.

Even the imitation deer head decoration on the wall had been snapped off, and the hidden compartment behind it had been emptied.

“Professional,” Su Kai sneered.

“Did they know I had finished fighting and come specifically to scavenge?”

The timing was quite precise.

He had cleared the entire stronghold, and adding in the time spent chasing and dealing with the fleeing vehicles, it had only been a little over half an hour in total.

Yet in that half an hour, the other party had sneaked in, packed up all the valuables, and slipped away.

“Void Jellyfish.”

Su Kai’s thoughts stirred, and the necklace around his neck flashed with a faint blue light.

A translucent blue-white jellyfish phantom appeared beside him.

“Wide-range scan.

Focus on searching for heat sources that have just left, or targets carrying large amounts of metal or electronic items.

Prioritize searching within a five-kilometer…

no, a ten-kilometer radius around the factory.”

He gave the order with a gloomy expression.

He had to drag this guy out this time.

Daring to snipe him?

He had to let the other party know what it meant to wish they were dead!

The core light point of the Void Jellyfish flickered rapidly.

Invisible perceptual waves spread rapidly from the factory as the center, like a tide in all directions.

The ground, the woods, the highway, the edge of the distant town…

Everything was swept by this power of perception.

A chaotic stream of information began to flood into Su Kai’s mind, but this time he had experience; he let the Void Jellyfish directly filter out irrelevant stationary heat sources and animals.

A few seconds later.

A clear target was locked, marked, and successfully fed back.

On the edge of a forest about four kilometers southeast of the factory.

An orange-red heat source was moving fast.

It was very fast, not a vehicle, but rather more like…

running?

And in this heat source’s hands, it was carrying two huge handbags.

Two big bags of stuff.

“Found you.” Su Kai narrowed his eyes.

Four kilometers away, still moving, heading towards the more distant wilderness and the interstate highway.

Want to run?

“Black Heavy Armor, Nether Blade, arm!”

He let out a low shout, no longer saving Star Energy.

Earth-yellow and pitch-black spatial rifts tore open in front of him simultaneously.

The phantom of a giant rhinoceros roared, and the phantom of a mantis hissed.

The dark, heavy rock armor instantly covered his entire body, and the jet-black, long arm blades condensed and formed again.

Star Sea Armament!

After the armament was complete, Su Kai kicked off the ground and crashed straight out of the second-floor window!

Crash!

Glass and window frames shattered.

He landed heavily, smashing two deep pits into the concrete ground, then, like a cannonball leaving the barrel, he rushed violently towards the southeast!

His running speed in the rock armor state was already far beyond that of an ordinary person, not to mention the added boost from the Nether Mantis armament.

Every step crossed seven or eight meters, and the heavy footsteps thudded, echoing far into the silent, desolate night.

He rushed out of the factory area and plunged headlong into the woods outside.

The terrain in the woods was complex, with overgrown bushes and even fallen, rotting tree trunks.

But for Su Kai now, these were not obstacles.

Bushes blocking the way?

Crash right through them!

Rotten wood lying across the path?

Kick it to pieces!

He was like a humanoid bulldozer, forcefully plowing a path through the woods.

And his speed didn’t slow down at all.

In his mind, the Void Jellyfish continued to provide the target’s real-time location.

That orange-red light point was still moving, and the speed was not slow; it seemed to have sensed something and was accelerating.

The distance between the two was slowly closing.

Four kilometers…

3.5 kilometers…

2.5 kilometers…

Su Kai had rushed out of the woods, and in front of him was an abandoned frontage road.

Presumably because it had been abandoned for a long time, the entire road surface was cracked and overgrown with weeds.

He rushed directly onto the road and continued to sprint along it.

Here, his speed could be a bit faster.

The heavy, continuous footsteps echoed one after another on the empty road.

After chasing for another kilometer or more.

In Su Kai’s perception, the target ahead suddenly changed direction, leaving the edge of the woods, and seemed to have rushed onto another, smoother road.

That was the old county road leading to the interstate highway.

“Trying to get on the main road, find a car, or blend into traffic?” Su Kai instantly guessed the other party’s plan.

He must not let him get up there.

Su Kai increased his speed again, his Star Energy burning slightly, pouring into the armor on his legs.

The leg structure covered by the rock armor made a slight adjustment sound, and the explosive power of his kick suddenly became stronger.

His speed instantly increased by another notch!

The distance was rapidly shortening.

It was already approaching within a one-kilometer range.

He could already “see” a clearer outline through the Void Jellyfish’s scan.

The figure was thin, and indeed, he was carrying two bulging big bags in his hands.

His running posture was a bit awkward, but his speed was truly not slow.

“Almost there.”

Su Kai rushed down the old frontage road; in front was a wide open wasteland, and on the other side of the wasteland was that old county road.

The target had already rushed onto the county road surface and was continuing to sprint along the roadside.

And Su Kai was less than five hundred meters away from him.

At this distance, it was enough to see the figure fleeing madly ahead with the naked eye.

A slightly thin figure, yet at this moment, he was carrying two big bags and running very fast.

Su Kai’s eyes were cold.

“Do you think you can get away?”

He took a deep breath and injected more Star Energy into his legs.

The final sprint!

The distance between the two closed rapidly.

The sprinting figure ahead seemed to finally feel the deadly approach, and he looked back.

Just that one look.

Su Kai saw clearly.

Wearing a baseball cap, Asian?

The next second, the sniper acted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, bursting out with an inhumanly faster speed, desperately rushing forward!

But it was already too late.
