Chapter 1281
"Boy, don''t you know the situation you''re in?" the strong man red at Henry.
Henry shrugged his shoulders and pointed to the darkness around him. "Of course I know the
situation I''m in, and I know very well that if a conflict breaks out here, everyone will get in trouble.
Would you like to test that out?"
Li came forward and stared at the strong man coldly. She did not say anything, but her actions were
obvious enough.
"What are you guys doing! Hurry up, quit dawdling, cut it out!" a cry sounded from the truck.
The strong man inhaled deeply and pointed at Henry. "You better watch out."
After saying that, the man turned around and waved to the people around him. "Hurry off, get off,
move it!"
The people hiding in the back of the truck all jumped off the truck one after another. The youngdy
looked at Henry gratefully, then got off hurriedly with the child in her arms.
Li nced at Henry and said, "You surprise me more and more every time."
Henry smiled bitterly and said, "I can''t help it. If it weren''t for this, I wouldn''t have been forced into
such a situation."
"So you''re trying to say that you do good and in return people try to kill you?" Li rolled her eyes at
him.
Henry thought for a moment, and then nodded solemnly. "Well, it''s true that people try to kill me for
doing a good deed."
"Those two in the car, what are you still standing there for? Get off now!" a voice urged at them from
outside the truck.
Henry ended the conversation and got off the truck.
After getting off the truck, Henry discovered that there were at least two hundred people who were
trying to enter the city. They were all gathered together, and they seemed quite strong in numbers.
A few people who looked to be leaders led Henry and the others into a residential building and
divided the 200 plus of them into approximately 20 houses.
As soon as Henry entered the building, it gave him the impression of rental houses for thebourers
who traveled south for work in the 90s. It could be described as messy and dirty.
The room was separated by various simple DIY beds, curtains divided each bed.
There were still a few people living within the building. When the leaders had led them into the
building, their jobs were considered done. It was that simple. By leading the people there, they had
already aplished their mission. Now the people were free to decide what they wanted to do
next.
"Alright, I have also fulfilled my promise. Whatever happens next has nothing to do with me. I am on
longer indebted to you," Li said to Henry.
"Thank you very much." Henry nodded.
Henry inhaled deeply and opened the door. As soon as he looked into it for a second, Henry closed
the door immediately. He pulled Li by her arm and walked over to one side.
"What''s the matter?" Li asked.
"There''s something weird about this ce." Henry looked ufortable. He pulled Li to the corner,
then whispered, "That friend of yours, Luo, can he be trusted?"
Li was stunned for a moment, and then nodded. "I trust him with my life. What''s wrong?"
"This ce is weird," Henry whispered. "We have to find a way to get out of here."
Minutes ago, the moment Henry opened the door, he clearly saw two familiar faces. One was
cido, and the other was Knox! The two of them were walking together.
What did it mean for cido and Knox to be there? It meant that they werepletely aware of the
existence of the people within the building!
"Weird?" Li looked around suspiciously. "Luo is definitely trustworthy, he..."
"Let''s forget about that for now." Henry interrupted. "Maybe he doesn''t have any idea about the real
situation here. There''s no way I could stay here now. Follow me."
"What on earth did you see?" Li asked.
"The people who are hunting me."
While they were talking, the door of the room that Henry and Li were in was pushed open and a tall,
thin man walked in.
The second Henry saw this man, he realised that it was bad news. He had never seen this man
before, but the characteristics of this man were impossible to miss. His hands had almost evolved
completely into w. He immediately knew that this was a cyborg of the Alvin League!
After entering through the door, the man licked his lips. He scanned around and said, "Looks like we
have new blood again. Not bad, not bad. Come out, you guys!"
Henry saw that behind the man, the door of the opposite room was also pushed open. There were
also experimental subjects of the Alvin League ordering those people to leave their rooms.
"Hurry up, don''t waste anymore time. There are more and more people in the city. If anything goes
wrong, you''d be the ones to suffer!"
cido''s voice rang in the corridor. He was clearly in charge of this ce now.
Henry''s expression darkened terribly. Never would he have imagined that the moment he entered
Steel City, he would be caught in the trap of the Recluse Association! And based on the situation at
hand, the Recluse Association and the Alvin League had definitely joined forces.
At this moment, Henry suddenly smiled in irony. He wasughing at himself for being too naive. The
Recluse Association had existed for thousands of years and had great power. How would their
leader, one with such power, truly see the peace of the world as their priority and responsibility? If
they had no ambitions of their own, why would they be in power?
Under the reprimands of the man, the people in the room all showed fearful expressions. Some of
them took the lead in leaving the room. Those who took the lead had already been living here
before Henry arrived. It was obvious that they had been scared out of their wits by the man, during
their stay. They just obeyed every order given to them.
Henry lowered his voice and said to Li. "If you go with him, you''d die for sure, but there is a glimmer
of hope if you run with me. Who are you willing to trust?"

Without a second of thought, she replied, "I trust you."
Having knowing him for a period of time, Li would naturally not choose to trust a stranger. Although
she did not know of the existence of the cyborgs from the Alvin League, but there was just
something strange about the tall, thin man.
"Alright then, get ready." Henry pointed at the window beside Li. "We are on the third floor, will that
be a problem for you?"
"Don''t you underestimate me." Li waved her wrist.
At that moment, almost everyone had left the room under the orders of the man, leaving only Henry
and Li in the room.
The man looked at them and ordered, "You two, what are you waiting for? Come out."
"Now!" Henry said in a low voice.
Just as Henry said that, they both leapt at the window next to them with all their might.
"Crash!"
The ss of the windows shattered, both of them jumped out of it. Henrynded directly onto the
ground. He touched the ground and bent his knees slightly to lighten the impact from thending.
At the same time Li jumped out of the window, a hook flew out from her cuff and locked itself onto
the windowsill, then she slid down from it very quickly.
"Two have escaped, get them!"
A loud shout erupted in the corridor.
"Let''s go!" Henry shouted at Li in a low voice. He chose a direction and quickly disappeared into the
darkness of the night.
A group of men burst out of the building to chase after them.
"There''s no need to chase them." A crisp female voice sounded, stopping those who were going
after them. The men looked at the person who had just appeared with respect.
The woman appeared while holding on to the arm of a man. It was Sloane and Alvin.
Alvin looked in the direction Henry had fled towards andughed coldly. "It would be better for me to
kill my boss myself."
