nShe spoke so softly that even Qu Yan who stood nearest to her could hear nothing at all.

nEven Chu Xuning who stood a little further away couldn’t hear, too.

nChu Xuning stared at the cold smirk on her lips and could not help but lean closer since he wanted to hear what she was saying.

nAt that moment, Yu Shijin tilted his head and said, “There are 108 mutants behind the base. Protect the doctor and leave.”

nHe had merely lowered his eyes and his tone of voice didn’t change one bit, though it was a little deeper and hoarser than normal. Chu Xuning had taken part in countless missions with Yu Shijin, and he was already quite familiar with Yu Shijin’s commanding style.

nEvery command from this person was on point.

nNo matter which side one person stood, no one wanted to oppose it.

nHowever, Chu Xuning felt that Young Master Yu did not seem calm judging by how he sounded.

nSomething did not sit right with Yu Shijin lately either.

nThe Chu Family was responsible for sending Doctor Luxe safely to the International Association, but Young Master Yu suddenly interfered without notice. One must know that Young Master Yu rarely took over missions lately; unless the matter was relevant to the International Battlefield, other matters could not even alarm Young Master Yu.

nIf the people behind this organization knew that Yu Shijin was involved in this operation, they definitely would not take action so blatantly.

n‘Bang!’

nAt that moment…

nAll the street lights were switched off!

nThe streets entered a state of darkness!

nChu Xuning had a change of expression. From the corner of his eye, he saw a large mutant dog rushing over to them.

nIt had a blazing speed!

nIt was twice bigger than normal dogs, and under the emergency lights shining on the pathway, one could see its horrifying sharp canine teeth!

nThat research base probably had those mutant dogs as their experimental species!

nChu Xuning threw a flying dagger, and it slowed down the large mutant dog’s movements. Even he who had a broad experience felt a dip in his heart. Recalling that there were still 108 other mutants like this animal, he asked, “Young Master Yu, what about Miss Su and the others?”

nYu Xiangyang and the others were just students while the strength of these mutant animals could rival that of a special operation officer, thus Chu Xuning felt worried for them.

nTheir safety worried him.

nYu Shijin did not turn his head and merely punched another mutant that pounced towards him. The darkness gradually concealed his handsome face, and every movement of his became streaks of light.

nHowever, he maintained that deep, cold, and swift tone of voice that had no hint of sloppiness. “They are in a safer state than you.”

nChu Xuning was used to Yu Shijin’s combat mode, hence he felt nothing strange.

nHe merely looked towards Su Huiqing and saw two mutants rushing towards her. Their sharp claws were less than ten centimeters away from Yu Xiangyang’s neck.

nChu Xuning and the group of doctors broke into a cold sweat!

nIn other people’s eyes, Su Huiqing seemed frightened because she stood rooted to the ground.

nHowever, Su Huiqing knew what she was doing.

nShe was calculating the best attack position, and after she had her angle of attack correctly aimed, she raised her leg and did a swift flip!

n‘Bang!’

nThe two mutants dropped harshly to the ground!

nHer black hair swayed into a beautiful arc under the light. After doing a flip, she had one hand on the ground while she spat out the hair that accidentally got into her mouth. She then stared at the three people who stood in blank dismay with her cold and heavy black heavy eyes. “What are all of you standing there for…”

nShe had paused for a moment and scanned the large mutant animals coming to them from behind. She then spat, “Destroy them.”

nWith that, she slowly got up and nonchalantly walked towards the entrance with both hands in her pockets.

nYu Xiangyang and the other two glanced at each other before standing at her sides.

nGu Li was the first to throw out a small bottle that Su Huiqing handed him earlier on from his pocket and to the mutants.

nWhen Su Huiqing took some ammonium nitrate earlier, he directed his thoughts towards using a mini explosive. However, he quickly rejected that idea because even professional researchers could not adjust the percentage of ammonium nitrate needed to make an explosive. Moreover, Su Huiqing had no equipment in her hands at all.

nHowever, now…

nHe witnessed how the raging fire had exploded the mutant in pieces.

nIt also instantly lit up the whole pathway.

nNo matter how spacious the passageway was, the light from the fire radiated everywhere.

nSu Huiqing and the other three opened up a pathway to the front. Su Huiqing casually walked with her hands in her pockets as though she was taking a walk in a park.

nThe group of doctors who Chu Xuning was protecting walked in the middle of the group. But they still faced sneak attacks from time to time and were in a pathetic state.

nYu Shijin guarded the back alone.

nThe people at the back and front faced more mutants while the ones who stood in the middle were practically safe.

nHowever, in this mashed-up team, those at the front and back were in a relaxed and laid-back state, while the line of people in the middle was in a sorry state.

nThe group safely walked to the main hall which connected to countless passageways, but only one led to outside.

nAt the same time.

nIn an underground base, a golden-haired man adjusted the surveillance camera and watched a group of people walking towards the main hall on the screen. He was typing on the keyboard as he said, “The hacker from their side is quite competent and his skills are on a whole other level. I suspect… that the hacker might be Chi Yue!”

n“Chi Yue?” Since the man beside the golden-haired one had a change of expression, it was clear that he had heard of that name before.”Are you sure?”

n“Other than the one they call the genius among hackers, I cannot think of anyone else who can stop my attacks. I tried testing the waters by using information from the Rapid Fire Mercenary, and I learned that his hacking skills had dropped. Thus, I easily gained control.” The golden-haired man smoked with a cigarette and tilted his head to look at the person beside him. “If it was not because your opponent was Chi Yue, did you think I will come back to help you?”

n“Whether or not he is Chi Yue, or whoever that person is, it would be difficult for them to escape from my mutant animals.” The person beside him did not seem to care at all. He merely took the transceiver and shouted, “Our target has entered the main hall. Prepare to catch them and exchange the hostages!”

nHearing that, the golden-haired man only squinted his eyes.

nIf it was in the past, he would definitely not suspect that they would defeat the mutants. But as he stared at that skinny figure on the screen…

nAnd the two poker cards wedged in the tires.

nHe was unsure.

nOn the screen, the main hall had many passageways where in an instant, countless mutants rushed out. It was a chaotic situation. There were those that pounced on them and others that rushed to them as though they were playing with their prey. As he watched, the scene made his head numb.

nChi Yue had a change in expression.

nThe scene was like watching a zombie movie. As one stood in a spacious area, zombies rushed towards them from all directions.

nHelplessness and despair overflowed the area.

nQu Yan could not help but hold Gu Li’s sleeves, while he glanced down at her and gripped some bottles with his hand. The explosives were dwindling in number even! “When an opportunity arises later, take Miss Su and leave through this passageway.”

nIn the entire main hall, only the passageway in the middle was not swarming with mutant animals.

nYu Xiangyang and Gu Li discreetly moved towards Su Huiqing and Qu Yan’s front.

nChu Xuning and the others leaned towards them as well. All of them had their backs against each other as they formed a circle.

nIn this group of people, most were not familiar with each other and had not interacted before.

nBut at that instant, they were all willing to let another person guard their backs.

nIt was a moment of life and death, but they were not scared at all. Instead, a sense of excitement gushed up to their heart. There was never a time they felt like this—a lofty sentiment of facing death.

nIt was the feeling every countryman had in their bones, a hot-blooded nature!

nEven Dr. Luxe took off his white coat, leaving him dressed in black.

nHe reached out to tighten the white ribbon on this wrist before calmly looking at the mutants swarming towards him.

nSu Huiqing stood in the middle of the circle. She bent down to pick up a mini robot and a timer she had left there at the start.

nShe then pulled a soft sigh as she looked at the two girls who the others protected within the circle.

nShe pushed away Yu Xiangyang who stood in front of her.

nAfter she had walked out of their circle, she threw her school bag onto the ground and calmly talked to the transceiver. “Buy me two minutes’ worth of time.”

n‘Who was she talking to?’ Chu Xuning squinted his eyes.

nAt the next second, he heard a familiar cold voice. “Alright.”

nIt was obviously Yu Shijin’s voice.

nEveryone looked at Yu Shijin, who slowly walked out from behind. He had a tall posture and had cold gleaming eyes.

nHe stopped beside Su Huiqing and tilted his head to look at Chu Xuning and the others. With a calm voice, he said, “Leave here first.”

nWith that, he slowly took out his weapon.

nChu Xuning could not help but stare as he watched his movements.

nHe knew the reason Yu Shijin rarely took out his weapon, and it was because the weapon was not a firearm, but an ancient bow.

nIts workmanship was exquisite; it was black and made from an unknown material. They even carved his name on the bow—Predator.

nYu Shijin was the only one who could use that weapon.

nOnce the weapon was out, blood would definitely splatter. Hence, unless necessary, he would not just take it out randomly.

nYu Shijin’s subordinate described him with a phrase, and similar to his weapon, it was a phrase used since ancient times.

nEvery ten steps, one man down.

nEvery thousand miles, all men are gone!
