Cherreads

Chapter 61 - Chapter 61: If He Tries to Run, Permission to Open Fire!

Throwing playing cards at the drones, everyone in the livestream chat instantly knew it was Zhang Yang. Cheers erupted, and the barrage of comments flooded the screen.

[Wow! Kaitō Kid really showed up, he's here!]

[Told you! As long as the warning letter is sent out, Kaitō Kid will definitely appear. That's his signature charm!]

[Oh my god! He really appeared!]

[Harrison's equipment is garbage. A drone already got taken down, and they still haven't found Kaitō Kid?]

[Every power has its nemesis. I think Harrison's destined to fall at Kaitō Kid's hands!]

At that moment, all four MI5 agents were busy operating the computers, trying to track down Zhang Yang.

But whether it was the footage from the surveillance drones or the data from the sonic detection devices, they found nothing—no trace of Zhang Yang.

"Director Harrison, no sign of Kaitō Kid within the monitored area!"

Hearing the report, Harrison spoke in a low, sharp voice, "Expand the search to the outer perimeter!"

"He must have just arrived. He probably hasn't even landed on the island yet!"

Harrison's eyes were cold and calculating as he analyzed the situation calmly.

He picked up his radio and instructed the patrolling security personnel and agents.

"Attention! Kaitō Kid has appeared. One surveillance drone has already been shot down."

"Reconnaissance drones are expanding their search to the island's edge. All patrols along the coast, stay alert!"

Just as Harrison finished giving his orders, another drone was taken down.

The agents immediately pulled up the last frame before the signal cut off, and as expected, the footage showed a red playing card.

"Director Harrison, the two downed drones weren't even close to each other!"

"There's a full one kilometer between the two locations!"

The time gap between the drones being shot down was less than a minute, but the distance between them was a whole kilometer!

Harrison's thought process instantly became a chaotic mess.

Even a world-class champion couldn't cover a kilometer in under a minute!

[Oh my god! How the hell did Kaitō Kid do that?!]

[The world record for one kilometer is two minutes eleven seconds. Kaitō Kid is twice as fast as the world record?!]

[That's insane. Kaitō Kid is amazing, but covering a kilometer in under a minute? That's beyond human limits!]

[Shit! Is Kaitō Kid actually the Flash?!]

[Is it possible... Kaitō Kid has teammates now?!]

The livestream exploded with speculation.

Both drones were shot down by a red playing card, but the two spots were separated by a full kilometer, with less than a minute between them!

Harrison couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

Meanwhile, after shooting down the second drone, Zhang Yang once again dove beneath the sea's surface.

Beneath him floated a motorized surfboard. Zhang Yang gripped the underside of the board with one hand and let it pull him swiftly toward the next destination.

This was the real answer—something Harrison would never guess!

Patrol teams were stationed all over the island. If Zhang Yang had stood atop the board, he would've been spotted instantly.

So he stayed underneath the surfboard, reducing his exposure.

"Director Harrison, the latest downed drone... the distance from the previous location is over eight hundred meters!"

The agents, faced with this baffling data, were completely stunned.

"Fuck!"

Harrison cursed in frustration.

"Order the drones to move toward the center of the island!"

"Abandon surveillance over the outer one-third perimeter!"

The agents immediately carried out his orders, pulling the drones back.

Harrison knew very well that if things kept going like this, Zhang Yang would shoot down all his drones, one by one.

His plan to achieve full surveillance coverage of the island had been completely forced into abandonment.

[Oh my god! This is crazy! Kaitō Kid always manages to surprise us!]

[All that gear Harrison brought is basically useless!]

[Seriously, what's the point? Two or three drones have already been shot down, and they still haven't found Kaitō Kid!]

[But the patrol guards on the screen are still shown patrolling the edge of the island. Could it be that Kaitō Kid hasn't even landed yet?]

[Are you nuts? Swim one thousand meters in under a minute?!]

A group of patrolling guards drove a patrol buggy along the coast. Zhang Yang, hidden underwater, watched them pass by.

With the reconnaissance drones pulled away from the island's edge, Zhang Yang seized the chance to land.

"There's no way Harrison only brought drones. I can't rush in blindly."

Better safe than sorry.

Plus, Harrison's team wasn't just large—they were armed.

If Zhang Yang moved another hundred or so meters inland, he'd be picked up by the detection devices.

"Director Harrison, we've spotted Kaitō Kid!"

Hearing that, Harrison quickly moved to the screen.

When he saw the signal from the sonic detection device, he froze for a second.

It wasn't just a kilometer away—Kaitō Kid was now showing up from a completely different direction on the island!

"How can he move so fast?!"

Harrison blurted out in shock.

At this point, it was no exaggeration to call Zhang Yang's movements ghost-like.

Every time he appeared, it was in a location far away from the last sighting.

"No idea!"

"But the device shows his position right here!"

Harrison didn't waste time wondering how Kaitō Kid was doing it. He immediately picked up the radio.

"Attention! Kaitō Kid has landed on the southwest side. All units, close in immediately!"

"If he tries to run, permission to open fire!"

Over one hundred patrolling personnel on the island, upon receiving Harrison's order, began moving toward the southwest.

[What the hell? Does Kaitō Kid know how to teleport or something? Why is he popping up so far apart each time?]

[Without these detection devices, Harrison would have been completely toyed with!]

[Feels like cheating with wallhacks—what's the point of playing fair anymore?!]

[This match is totally unfair. Even if they win, it's a hollow victory!]

[Yes! This time Kaitō Kid's tricks are all useless!]

"Director Harrison, he's moving really fast!"

The detection system had about a thirty-second delay. It worked together with the positioning system to mark a red spot on the map.

As the detection system refreshed, the red marker was seen moving rapidly deeper into the island.

"No problem. Our people will surround him!"

On the screen, all the green markers were the security guards and MI5 agents.

They had already formed a curved encirclement and were steadily closing in on the red marker.

Aside from a few paved roads, the island was covered with gardens and lush greenery, making it a beautiful place.

At this moment, everyone at the Red Coral Palace was holding their breath, their eyes glued to the screen, where the green markers were about to meet the red one.

[Fuck! Kaitō Kid is cornered this time!]

[Hiss—Kaitō Kid's in serious trouble now!]

[Harrison's preparations tonight are insane. Kaitō Kid shouldn't have come!]

[Oh my god! I hope Kaitō Kid has good luck! He's my idol!]

In the agents' live footage, their pace had noticeably slowed, cautiously alert for any movement ahead.
