Chapter 460 What can I do to help
Su Ming looked up suddenly, only to see a strange man standing before him, his eyes cold and his body erect. His clothing wasn't particularly striking, but it gave off a strong sense of menace. This man was clearly coming for him.
"Who are you?" Su Ming's eyes instantly locked on him, and the alert mechanism was quietly activated in his heart.
Su Ming's heart skipped a beat. The stranger's gaze seemed to penetrate all his disguises and concealment. Alarm bells rang in his heart, and his nerves tensed instantly. This was no chance encounter. This man had known his whereabouts for a long time. Even when he was pretending to be an ordinary person, he could still accurately locate his location in the crowd.
"Who are you?" Su Ming's voice was low and cold. He knew that facing such a clearly carefully planned encounter, any overreaction could expose his flaws. He had to remain calm and not let the enemy know that he had sensed the danger.
The man's smile remained cold. "You want to know who I am? No rush. I'll give you all the answers sooner or later, but right now, I'm more concerned about what you're going to do next."
Su Ming didn't respond, his mind racing. The enemy's reaction confirmed to him that he had been exposed. It seemed as if every movement, every reaction, even every breath, was being watched. This feeling terrified him, but at the same time, he also clearly realized that this was not an unsolvable situation—he still had a glimmer of hope.
He quickly looked up and scanned his surroundings, searching for a chance to break out. However, the sight of several figures standing in a corner made him realize that an encirclement had quietly formed. Time was running out; a decision had to be made.
"I'm sorry," Su Ming's eyes became calmer and his tone was low, "I have to go."
There was a cold determination in his words. Almost instantly, his hand had slipped into his coat pocket and found the communicator he had prepared long ago. It was one of his most commonly used tools, capable of sending specific signals over a short distance, quickly contacting his teammates outside.
Without hesitation, he quickly pressed the button, and in that split second, the signal was transmitted.
"This is my only chance," he thought to himself. Every second counted, and any hesitation would plunge him deeper into trouble. The buzzing sound from the communicator was particularly abrupt in the quiet hall, as if warming up to the coming storm.
At the same time, the strange man noticed his actions and locked his eyes on Su Ming with sharp eyes like a knife. "Do you think this little trick can escape my sight?" His voice was full of provocation, as if he had foreseen Su Ming's next move.
Su Ming ignored him, his eyes coldly scanning his surroundings, trying to find a way out. He knew full well that the most deadly enemy wasn't the stranger before him, but the encirclement that had already formed. If he was exposed too early and his teammates couldn't support him in time, the consequences would be fatal.
The sound of the communicator finally died down. Su Ming took a deep breath, and his fingertips gently touched another device in his pocket. It was a backup signal transmitter, the only way to stay in touch with his teammates. Without it, all the support would become meaningless.
"Please, give me some time," Su Ming prayed silently in his heart. Everything before him was still shrouded in a haze of deathly silence. At this moment, he could no longer make any further judgments. Time waits for no one.
Just as he quickly pressed the launch button, the atmosphere around him became increasingly tense. The man's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he had obviously seen through Su Ming's intention.
"Do you think I won't stop you?" He sneered, took a quick step forward, and pounced on Su Ming almost instantly.
Su Ming's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Without a second thought, he quickly took a step back, leaping into the air and deftly avoiding the man's attack. At the same time, his eyes quickly scanned his surroundings—every exit, every possible escape route; he had to be prepared at all times.
In that instant, Su Ming almost forgot everything around him. His only goal was to quickly disappear from the enemy's sight. The man's speed was too fast, and the overwhelming threat made him feel like he was trapped in an abyss with no way out. However, Su Ming knew he was not alone - his teammates should have received the signal and would rush to support him as soon as possible.
Hope in his heart made him calm down. He began to adjust his breathing, slow down his pace, and make sure his movements were more precise. At that moment, he made a key decision - no longer trying to escape, but changing his strategy and waiting for his teammates' support.
Just as Su Ming made this decision, he heard hurried footsteps outside. His eyes focused instantly, and his heart beat faster again—it was finally here.
"Wait for me!" Su Ming gritted his teeth, a resoluteness that could not be ignored rising from within him. He knew that now, he had no way out, and the only person he could rely on was the team that had already disappeared.
The man seemed to have sensed something. He suddenly stopped, his eyes flickering slightly, and then a sneer escaped his lips. "Teammate? Do you think you can still rely on them?"
Su Ming didn't respond. He raised his head and stared into the man's eyes, a silent battle in his heart. He didn't trust his enemy's gaze, but he couldn't ignore their threat. Everything before him had become more confusing, but the only thing that remained unchanged was the belief he clung to—he would not give up, would not let the enemy gain the upper hand.
Suddenly, the communicator chimed again, the voice carrying a hint of unexpected urgency. "Su Ming, get ready! Support is arriving!"
Su Ming didn't know Zheng Yaoxian, but his gaze made him uneasy. His coldness and composure made him subconsciously want to avoid him. However, Zheng Yaoxian walked straight towards him, not trying to hide his intimidating aura.
"Su Ming." Zheng Yaoxian's voice was deep and magnetic. "I need you to help me complete a task."
Su Ming was stunned for a moment, a trace of doubt flashing through his mind: "How...can I help?"
"You can." Zheng Yaoxian smiled lightly, his smile carrying a somewhat elusive meaning. "You just don't know what you can do."
At that moment, Su Ming suddenly felt a strong premonition. He wasn't sure if he could truly shoulder this responsibility, but his intuition told him that refusing would mean unimaginable consequences.
