Gu Ji opened the attribute page and found that his skeletal muscle movement had been weakened by 8.3%.

Indeed, the owner of this body was too young, only eighteen or nineteen years old, not yet fully developed, so he couldn't compare to Herman and Wa Xueming.

It's still important to conserve energy as much as possible.

He might need to sustain high-intensity combat today, so he turned and headed to a 7-Eleven convenience store near the main street.

Before the police issued a city-wide manhunt.

Gu Ji decided to first purchase some food and water to prevent running out of energy and being unable to run midway.

While the clerk was handling the checkout, he pulled down the brim of his hat and walked into the store, trying to avoid the cameras capturing his face.

In the food section, Gu Ji only chose foods like candy, chocolate, butter cheese, and nuts, which are lightweight, high-calorie, and easy to store, thus reducing the burden on his backpack.

Once he finished checking out, he walked to the street, casually hailed a yellow Ford taxi, opened the door, and sat in the back seat behind the driver.

"Hey, young man, where to?"

The driver was an American man in his thirties or forties, neither fat nor skinny, wearing a black baseball hat. He seemed to be in a good mood, speaking in a cheerful tone.

"Flushing Park, please hurry."

Gu Ji initially planned to directly say the location of the stadium but then realized his live stream was still ongoing. If he mentioned a specific destination and the police found out, they might quickly set up control over the stadium.

This would make it easier to be caught and also increase the difficulty of finding the bomb.

As for Flushing Park, it's quite vast.

It's New York's second-largest park, with not only the tennis center but also the New York Hall of Science, art museums, theaters, a wildlife center, etc., covering a total of 5.1 square kilometers, almost as large as the BASF Production Base.

To completely surround the entire park, it would probably require the entire New York Police Department.

"Don't worry."

The driver glanced back at Gu Ji, smiled, nodded, shifted gears, and stepped on the gas, and the car started moving.

After the car started, Gu Ji kept looking out the window, keeping an eye on the surroundings, and took out a map to compare, continuing to reinforce his memory.

The viewers in the live stream kept asking questions.

[Is the first explosion site in Flushing Park?]

[Who knows where that is? Any New Yorkers here to explain?]

[Are you all using VPNs from home?]

[There are many people in Flushing Park; these terrorists are determined to mess with the United States!]

[Isn't the streamer afraid the police are eavesdropping on the live stream?]

[If the police are really here, the first thing they should do is catch the bomber. The streamer is also forced; if he doesn't comply, he'll die. Faced with death or escape, who wouldn't choose to escape?]

[Streamer, talk more with us, maybe we can give you some advice!]

...

Not only the viewers but even the driver tried to strike up a conversation a few times, but Gu Ji didn't respond.

Based on criminal investigation science, he had summarized several key points to enhance counter-surveillance skills:

Environmental adaptability, map acquisition, maintaining vigilance, systematic handling of personal belongings, acting efficiently and leaving no traces, social engineering skills, and discipline.

And a crucial point in discipline: purifying the information flow!

Excessive redundant information flow can impair one's thinking and judgment, which is a major taboo in counter-surveillance.

Since being chased by the police, Gu Ji had been strictly following these points.

Observing the neighborhood environment, reading the New York map, being cautious of cameras, purchasing necessary supplies, and so on; now, his mind was focused on how to enter the tennis court early to find the bomb, with no energy to pay attention to the live stream audience and the taxi driver.

Seeing that Gu Ji was unresponsive, the driver wasn't upset and casually turned on the radio to listen to the broadcast.

"We interrupt this broadcast with emergency news. According to a front-line reporter, at around 7:05 a.m. on September 8, three young men allegedly carried out a bomb attack inside Elmhurst subway station, injuring five people. According to eyewitness testimony, the three suspects are black, Asian, and white, with the black suspect dying at the scene, the Asian being shot by the police, and the remaining suspect fleeing in an unknown direction, wearing a purple hoodie..."

[Whoa? They've started a citywide manhunt already?]

[Probably not a manhunt, just media exposure. That's how American media works; no matter what the government says, attracting the public and making money is the real deal!]

[Taxi driver: Danger!]

[Hahaha, the streamer better run, if the media describes your features, it's game over!]

[Do you even know what the streamer looks like?]

[The police definitely know, right? After all, he just confronted them face-to-face in the subway station, his appearance, what clothes he's wearing...]

[I think he's so calm because he must have changed clothes already, and I think I heard the sound of clothes rustling earlier!]

...

When Gu Ji heard the news on the radio, his heart sank.

However, as the comments mentioned, fortunately, it's just media notification, and the police haven't started a real citywide manhunt. He estimated that this would take at least another half an hour.

Half an hour later, if the police still haven't caught him, and the live stream continues to ferment online, when the media draws attention and spreads the word, and the government becomes furious, that's when the FBI will issue a warrant.

"Brother, we're here."

Ten minutes later, the driver pulled over near the entrance of a green park and stopped the meter.

The price of New York taxis is quite expensive, costing several US Dollars casually.
