Chapter 278: Chapter 261: Lin Yi (First Update!)
After rescuing Lang Jiuping's group, the upper floors of the building were empty. Lin Yun led a crowd downstairs.
Along the way, Lang Jiuping's group saw many dead Flying Eagle Guards, which shocked them deeply.
Only then did they realize how many people Lin Yun had killed.
When they reached downstairs and saw the areas where Lin Tian, Lin Yun and the three Huajin Grandmasters, along with the many Flying Eagle Guards, had fought, they were even more shocked.
They saw collapsed walls, caved-in floors, and numerous fist-sized bullet holes everywhere, a sight that covered a vast area, which indicated the fierceness of the battle.
Originally, they had some doubts about the accuracy of Lin Yun's words.
Now, most of them have started to believe.
On the way, however, Lin Yun saw many dead staff members, which made him feel very gloomy.
The Lu family and the Mie Family had been extremely ruthless this time.
He truly underestimated these two families.
Floor minus two, parking lot.
The robot with the strength of a Huajin grandmaster that Lin Yun had dispatched had gathered the rest of the hotel's occupants here.
"Boss!"
"Boss! Sister Qingqing!"
"Boss, Sister Qingqing, Sister Yuan Lee, they were all killed by those guys, sob..."
Many employees burst into tears when they saw Lin Yun and Xia Qingqing leading a group of people, like a lost person who had just found their backbone.
Most of these employees were female, with low psychological resistance. The fact that they could still walk steadily after such a massive incident indicated that they were better than average.
Most of the male employees could barely maintain their composure, but their faces were also very grim.
Only a small number of security guards from Gold Sword Security Company remained calm due to their strong psychological fortitude. Some of them looked at Lin Yun, and some looked at their security colleagues, awaiting instructions.
"My brothers and sisters, this incident has implicated all of you, and as the company, we owe you an explanation. Whether dead or alive, we will make things right. For now, the most important thing is to leave this place..." said Lin Yun, his voice heavy.
"You aren't those people's targets. As long as you don't stray too far from the hotel, you should be safe. Next, I'll arrange for people to guide you away..." Lin Yun paused for a moment before continuing.
"Mr. Lang, I hate to ask you to take some of these people with you. Can you do that? Rest assured, my subordinates and I will take the lead, with some staying behind to cover our escape. You can follow behind us. Once we blend into the crowd, you can ditch the car and scatter whenever you like!" Lin Yun turned to look at Lang Jiuping's group.
At first, Lang Jiuping and his group paled upon hearing Lin Yun's initial words. They were moderately capable, but still unsure if they could make it out unscathed, especially with the added burden. If they had to look after others, escaping would be even more difficult.
Sometimes, having a pig-like teammate was more troublesome than having a god-like opponent. By seeing the sobbing female staff, who could barely stand, there was no desire to guide them out.
However, they sighed in relief upon hearing Lin Yun's following words. Lin Yun and his men would break out first and cover the rear, so they could follow in the middle. It was the safest option, thus, helping him guide some people out was the least they could do.
"No problem." Lang Jiuping quickly nodded in agreement.
"Lin Yi, you go deal with those outside." Lin Yun nodded and turned to a middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man was a robot bought by him. With the strength of a Huajin beginner level, Lin Yun had named him Lin Yi.
"Yes, Young Master Yun!" The middle-aged man nodded slightly.
Whoosh——
The next moment, the middle-aged man flashed towards the door, covering several meters in a single step, his speed extremely fast.
"What is---"
Seeing the man's speed, Lang Jiuping's group, along with the bodyguards and security guards who had followed Lin Yun and Xia Qingqing down, changed their expressions. The man was too fast!
They were not ignorant; the man's speed made them realize he was not ordinary.
Especially the five surviving bodyguards around Xia Qingqing, they had seen the four Martial Art Grandmasters in action, they faintly saw a shadow of the Grandmasters in the middle-aged man.
"Could this middle-aged man also be a Martial Arts Grandmaster?" They wondered, somewhat shocked.
Lin Tian... and now this Lin Yi... did two Martial Art Grandmasters actually surround their boss, Lin Yun?
They were Martial Artists themselves, and the impact of a Martial Art Grandmaster on them was much more significant than seeing Lin Yun, Lin Tian, and Xia Qingqing capable of releasing protective shields.
Those protective shields, after careful thought, should have been produced by some kind of technology.
Even though they had never seen such technology before, advancements were constant in today's world. It was plausible that such technology could be found somewhere on Earth.
However, becoming a Martial Art Grandmaster required decades of hard work, great talent, a strong background, and vast resources.
"This isn't the Grandmaster from before..."
"Great, we have another strong martial artist on our side, our chances of escape have become much larger..."
Lang Jiuping and his group glanced at each other and whispered.
They felt a little relieved.
At this point, they started to believe even more in Lin Yun's previous statement about having killed the three Martial Art Grandmasters.
Lin Yun's side already produced two suspected Martial Art Grandmasters. They didn't know how many more were not seen, so Lin Yun's claim of their side having killed three Martial Art Grandmasters could be possible.
"Splash——"
After Lin Yi left, Lin Yun walked to a roller door and quickly lifted it, revealing a bright light and rows of brand new vehicles.
Most of them were Emperor Ling and Sword Tiger brands, while others were from different brands.
These vehicles were not produced on Earth but were cars customized on the Cosmic Trading System, ordered by Lin Yun. Although they looked similar to cars on Earth, their performance was worlds apart and could not be compared.
This fleet, which Lin Yun had kept for backup use, had been planned to replace the cars on Earth someday, but he hadn't gotten around to it.
Now, they could put these cars to good use. Having these vehicles increased the likelihood of everyone escaping safely.
Among them were three flying vehicles that weren't inferior in performance to others. Though their exteriors appeared to be similar to regular cars on Earth, they had the ability to fly when necessary. However, their performance was nowhere near the cloaked flying car he had bought previously.
Yet, each one of them had cost Lin Yun thirty Spirit Crystals.
