Weird Live Broadcast: I Can Deduce Endlessly

Chapter 87: Fire at the Southern Dock



Chapter 87: Fire at the Southern Dock

(You take out a bottle of spirit and remove the cap.)

(You tear apart the clothes you just found and use a piece of fabric to plug the bottle opening.)

(You hear the footsteps of the enemy catching up to the yacht.)

(Hurriedly, you place the bottle into the fuel inlet.)

(Enemy: He's down there!)

(The enemy has discovered your location.)

(You take out a lighter, but it got wet, so it takes a while for it to ignite.)

(The fabric quickly catches fire.)

(You quickly escape from the engine room and jump off the side of the yacht.)

(Boom!)

(The yacht behind you undergoes a violent explosion.)

(The shockwave from the explosion propels you, and you fall into the sea.)

(The explosion triggers a chain reaction, and several ships at the dock start burning.)

(The enemies are instantly engulfed in the sea of flames.)

(You swam out of the water, feeling a heaviness in your chest and tinnitus in your ears by the blast.)

(You put on the eye patch and notice a few scattered red dots moving toward you.)

(The fire spreads ashore.)

(You rush into the fire and run the other way.)

(After ten minutes, the fire brigade arrives quickly.)

(You hide in a back alley, repeatedly checking for enemies using the eye patch.)

(Your chest pain becomes unbearable, but you dare not seek medical treatment at the hospital.)

(You feel extremely exhausted.)

(You are temporarily safe.)

(You end the deduction!)

Thud, thud, thud!

The knocking behind him grew more urgent.

Gu Yi quickly turned off the lights, opened the window, and slid down the pipe without hesitation. Following the path he had previously deducted, he ran towards the seaside.

"Quick, catch up to him!"

"He's heading towards the dock!"

"No worries, you guys go around from the east side, others find a speedboat and wait in the sea. Even if he jumps into the water, we'll capture him."

The enemies communicated via radio, arranging their tactics.

Gu Yi like a prophet, again and again slipped through the enemy's encirclement.

"What's with this kid?"

"He's sliding like an eel."

"Never mind, just force him into the sea. He's not a dolphin, can he outrun a boat?"

Splash!

Gu Yi reached the shore and plunged into the dark waters.

The enemies had already boarded the speedboat and were closing in on Gu Yi. A bald man stood on the boat, holding a megaphone and shouting.

"Gu Yi, come with us. The farther you are from us, the more dangerous it is for you. Only by coming with us you stand a chance of survival."

Gu Yi ignored them and swam with all his might towards a small yacht at the shore.

"Damn it, tell the people on land to hurry up."

"Okay!"

The location where the yacht was docked was somewhat remote, requiring a considerable detour on land, but in the water, the distance was much shorter for Gu Yi.

He jumped out of the water, grabbing onto the yacht's anchor, and used both his hands and feet to climb onto the yacht.

"Hurry up!"

The bald man patted his subordinate's shoulder, urging him to speed up and bring the boat alongside the yacht.

At that moment, a few people arrived on the shore, swiftly climbing onto the yacht.

"Where is that kid hiding?"

"He's down below!"

Everyone rushed into the lower deck in a frenzy.

The bald man's speedboat stopped by the yacht, and he was about to climb aboard when he heard a splash.

A figure fell from the yacht, creating a huge splash.

"You idiots, he's here..."

Boom!

The flames soared into the sky!

Everyone on the yacht was engulfed by the sea of flames. The bald man was propelled into the air by the tremendous shockwave and disappeared who knows where.

Fueled by the wind, the flames surged and burned everything in its path.

Inside the warehouses on the shore, various flammable goods ignited instantly, and the entire dock became as bright as day in an instant.

Crash!

Gu Yi crawled out of the water, panting heavily as he gazed at the flames.

Although he had protected himself when jumping into the water, Gu Yi still felt a heaviness in his chest and couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of blood.

The previous explosion had caused him internal injuries.

His ears were ringing, and he couldn't regain his hearing for a while.

"Cough, cough—"

Thick smoke billowed, and Gu Yi put on the eye patch to look in the direction of the underground base.

More red dots were running toward him.

The people who were chasing him just now must have been hired by the Cat and rat couple. They didn't possess any extraordinary abilities, but the people in the underground base were different.

Gu Yi didn't dare to rest; he rushed out without stopping.

Today was not the right time to explore the underground base.

...

Dozens of fire trucks blocked the dock.

Gu Yi hid in a corner, gazing at the flames in the south, lost in thought.

The police and firefighters were coming and going, but they didn't discover the mysterious underground base buried beneath.

"Sigh... I can't move anymore."

Gu Yi leaned against the wall, looking at his arms, covered in burns and scalds. He was covered in soot and ash, and even if his parents appeared in front of him now, they probably wouldn't recognize him.

The pain in his chest was relentless as if his lungs had been smashed with a sledgehammer. He didn't know how much harmful gas he had inhaled while escaping.

Gu Yi's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and his head swayed as he fainted.

...

"Child, wake up, wake up quickly."

An elderly scavenger lady discovered Gu Yi lying in a garbage heap. She bent down and gently woke him up from his slumber.

"Ugh... cough, cough."

Gu Yi opened his eyes groggily, his chest still hurting. He coughed twice and spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm.

"Oh, why are you coughing up blood?"

"It's nothing." Gu Yi's breathing sounded hoarse and rough. "What time is it now?"

"It's eight in the morning. Where are your family members? Should I call an ambulance for you?"

"No need."

Gu Yi struggled to get up from the corner. He looked towards the direction of the dock, where the pitch-black thick smoke still hadn't dispersed.

The firefighters had been battling the blaze all night, but they hadn't been able to extinguish it.

"If this were the real world, I'd definitely be squatting in prison until my next life."

Gu Yi had slept through the night in a daze, miraculously remaining undetected by the enemies.

However, it was because of the massive fire at the dock that the enemies dared not leave the base hastily. While Cat and Rat couple could control the police, they couldn't control the firefighters. Thus, hiding in the underground base was the safest option.

It was precisely for this reason that Gu Yi chose to start the fire to evade the pursuit of the enemies.

Gu Yi aimlessly strolled along the streets, his mind constantly pondering over any mistakes he might have made along the way, but he couldn't find any plausible reasons.

Hence, Cat and Rat couple didn't find him through conventional means; they must have used their weird powers to track him down.

Beep, beep, beep—

Gu Yi's phone rang, and he noticed it was from a strange number ending with—999.

A chill ran down Gu Yi's spine, and he reached into his pocket, finding that the phone's SIM card was still securely in place.

Without a SIM card, how could the phone receive a call?

Could it be that Miss Cat used her weird powers to locate him?

"Who is it?"

Gu Yi answered the call.

"It's me, old friend. Your escape yesterday was truly impressive; I couldn't help but applaud for you."

"Are you the host? Cough, cough..."

Gu Yi couldn't help but clench his fist, coughing excitedly.

The host laughed heartily, "Well, well, don't cough yourself to death. Now, I can give you a chance. If you surrender and agree to my conditions, I'll spare your life. Otherwise..."

Click—

The call was disconnected.

The host stared at the surveillance screen in front of him and couldn't help but crush the phone.

Gu Yi looked up at the sky, raising two middle fingers as he rejected the host through his actions.
