Thud! Thud! Thud!

Just as the Gene Warrior was about to overpower them, three consecutive gunshots suddenly rang out.

Half of the Gene Warrior’s face directly exploded into three large holes, falling from mid-air.

After losing half of his head, the Gene Warrior still struggled on the ground, trying to get up, but failed several times and finally collapsed, dead.

His body gradually shriveled up and soon reverted to the size of a normal person, dead beyond any doubt.

Fifty meters away.

Phoenix lay on the ground, holding a large-caliber sniper rifle, having taken out the Gene Warrior.

Thud, thud!

Phoenix shot at another Gene Warrior, who, realizing what was happening, quickly took cover.

The two men who quickly ran to Huang Weifu and Luo Guozhong’s side were none other than the timely-arrived Du Feng and Lu Long.

“You take the people and retreat first; we’ll handle things here,” said Du Feng.

“Who are you?” Huang Weifu asked.

“Ye Xiong sent us,” replied Lu Long.

“He left, didn’t he? How come he is back?” asked Luo Guozhong, puzzled.

“The instructor would never abandon innocent lives, he just took the bait because there’s a mole in your police department,” answered Lu Long.

“Who’s the mole?” the two men asked in shock.

“Lu Fang. She led people out through the tunnels, planning to take them away in that bus. Thankfully, the instructor foresaw this and had it blocked, which led to her demise,” explained Du Feng.

Huang Weifu and Luo Guozhong exchanged a look, feeling deeply ashamed.

“We wronged him.”

“Yes, if it had not been for him, we would have been completely wiped out this time.”

“And to think we even helped that spineless Hong Tian seize power just now.”

Remembering this, they felt even more disgraced.

“Don’t dwell on that now. You all should retreat; we’ve got this,” said Lu Long, pulling out a dagger.

Like Lu Long, Du Feng also drew his dagger, and the two of them stood their ground, ready to defend.

The three had a clear division of labor: Phoenix sniped with the large-caliber rifle from a distance, while the two men used close-quarters combat to ensure the enemy couldn’t easily emerge from the tunnel.

“Charge out,” Ba Lei ordered.

A Man in Black rushed out, only to be shot in the head, with blood splattering all around.

“Dammit.”

Ba Lei couldn’t hold back and let out a string of curses.

He hadn’t expected to encounter an opponent here. Judging by the shooter’s style, she was not only an accurate shot but also appeared to be well aware of the Gene Warrior’s weaknesses, taking one out instantly.

“Boss, we have met our match,” Ba Lei reported into his microphone, describing the situation in detail.

“Don’t force your way out. Exit through the villa and continue the pursuit,” Skeleton ordered.

Ba Lei led his men out of the villa, taking a detour that consumed some time but at least was safer.

Just as they were about to continue the pursuit, they found their path blocked by three individuals.

The leader was a tall woman with a distinguished and aloof demeanor, dressed in a black leather coat.

Flanking her were two formidable-looking men.

“Skeleton’s top warrior, Ba Lei, do you dare to fight me?” Phoenix challenged him with a cold stare.

“Who are you?”

“Dragon Group, Phoenix.”

Ba Lei watched her closely, tossed his gun aside, and said to a Man in Black behind him, “Number Two, take the others and track those children. I will deal with her.”

“Yes,” agreed the Man in Black.

Leading twelve black-clad men, he went in pursuit.

“Lu Long, Du Feng, stop them,” Phoenix commanded.

Clutching their daggers, Lu Long and Du Feng violently lunged into action.

The dozen or so black-clad heavyweights, acting in concert, six went to track the children while the other six engaged in combat with Lu Long and Du Feng.

In an instant, a fierce battle began.

Ba Lei drew a gleaming Swiss Army Knife from his waist and held it ready in his hand.

“`

This saber was specially crafted on his orders and named the Bloodthirsty Blade.

The number of people who died beneath this saber wasn’t a hundred, but it was surely several dozen.

“I’d like to see just how formidable a Dragon Group expert really is.”

Barre brandished the saber and roared as he rushed out.

…

On the Guangzhan Expressway.

A car sped along at a breakneck speed of one hundred and fifty kilometers per hour.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve had such a thrill racing a car.”

Chen Xiao hummed a tune while driving, the sensation of high speed giving him a rush all over.

A journey that normally took two hours was completed by him in less than forty minutes.

Before him lay the vast night sea, now at high tide.

Chen Xiao stopped the car by the shore and saw from a distance Du Yuehua, already soaked up to her chest by the sea.

She had been awakened by the water and was desperately struggling, but it was in vain; her mouth was sealed, leaving her unable to make a sound.

Gazing at the woman from afar, whom Reaper had tasked him with rescuing at all costs, Chen Xiao began to get a headache.

The moon tonight was damn full, casting a silvery sheen across the beach.

If anyone were to walk on the beach, they could be clearly seen even from hundreds of meters away.

There was nowhere on this beach to hide. The moment he stepped onto it, bullets from a sniper’s gun would surely leave a few holes in his body.

“Such a headache of a mission.”

Chen Xiao crouched on the ground, looking toward the forest along the shore.

He was ninety-nine percent sure that a sniper was hiding in that forest, ready to shoot him dead with one shot.

Chen Xiao looked up at the basin-sized moon overhead and cursed, “Damn your mother, why so bright? Can’t you hide behind some clouds?”

As the tide kept rising higher, Chen Xiao was out of options.

“I hope you didn’t lie to me. My life is all staked on you now.”

After saying this, Chen Xiao ran towards the hillside, where a sniper was most likely to be lying in wait.

This was what Ye Xiong had taught him.

Ye Xiong instructed him to sprint thirty meters towards the probable sniper spot as quickly as possible and then rush back to the beach to rescue the person with utmost speed.

When Chen Xiao asked why do this, Ye Xiong’s response was simple, if you don’t want to die, just do it.

Fine, just do it, since he couldn’t think of any other way.

In the forest three hundred meters away, Angel panicked.

She packed up her sniper rifle and started running away quickly.

She knew Ye Xiong’s methods too well. If he got close to her, she would be left with only one way out: dead.

Skeleton’s mission for her was to take out Ye Xiong if there was a chance, if not, then leave.

So, she chose to leave at the first opportunity.

The pressure from that guy was just too much for her.

After running thirty meters, Chen Xiao quickly turned around and sprinted toward the sea.

“Came out in such a hurry, totally forgot to draw a divination for myself, whether it’s fortune or doom.”

In the blink of an eye, Chen Xiao reached the sea, quickly untied Du Yuehua, and then carried her back to shore at full speed, hiding behind the car before he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Good thing that bastard didn’t lie to me.”

Chen Xiao sat on the ground, gasping for air.

“Get in the car,” Chen Xiao commanded.

“Who are you?” Du Yuehua asked in shock.

“Taking you back to Jiangnan, hurry up and get in the car, or Ye Xiong’s going to be done for,” Chen Xiao said, urging her to get in without really meaning it.

Sure enough, Du Yuehua hurried into the car.

The car roared away.

Angel ran several tens of meters, then suddenly felt uneasy. Looking back at the sea, she saw the post was empty; Du Yuehua was long gone.

“Damn, fooled by that pervert,” Angel cursed bitterly.
