to laughter. "Brothers! We're alive! Grab this kid, I bet those two old geezers won't give up!"The crowd stood up one after another, their fingers crackling as they smiled menacingly and approached Wa...Back in Dagushan, it was already the wee hours of the morning. Ding Sheng stepped out from the woods and headed straight for the path on the west side of the town.

When he was about one hundred meters from the checkpoint, Ding Sheng stopped behind a pile of earth and craned his neck to observe the police's deployment.

There were six people in total, all dressed in police uniforms with pistols on their hips. They should not have been Awakened.

"Within a hundred meters of this checkpoint, there is no cover. This one hundred meters is the most dangerous time. As long as I get within twenty meters, I can escape successfully."

He stood up, no longer hiding, and walked straight towards the checkpoint.

Fifty meters away from the checkpoint, a police officer spotted him and shouted, "Who is it!"

Other police officers also reacted, immediately drawing their guns and pointing them at the sky.

There aren't many good people walking on the path this late.

Ding Sheng heard the police officer's command and knew things were bad, but instead of running away immediately, he stood his ground, raising both hands above his head and shouting in panic.

This time the police seemed to believe him and let him pass. He had thought about what he was going to say for a long time, but in the end, he didn't need to use any of it. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "but..."

"Is that all it takes for you to believe me This policeman is about to retire, yet he's still just a lowly patrol officer. There's a reason for that."

"Wait!" Another policeman spoke, he glared at Ding Sheng and whispered, "Be careful, the higher-ups said this fugitive is no ordinary person, they repeatedly emphasized to avoid getting too close to him, as it's easy to be misled."

The others seemed to have thought of something too, and became even more cautious. “Oh, it’s nothing, Team Leader. Look at that man, he looks so honest, how could he possibly be a vicious fugitive!”

"Better safe than sorry. Since you trust him so much, Old Zhang, why don't you go check him out yourself"

"t how he's messed up Uncle Bao's house this past month."The villagers were simple folk, but also rather timid and fearful. They only dared to whisper behind each other's backs. Wang Lin understood thi...
