Jeffrey didn’t know what he was doing, but a gunshot rang out from not far away. By the time he came back to his senses, he had already thrown himself into the air.

He could clearly feel something whizzing past his ear, and then he heard Corey curse, “D*mn it!”

Then, there were two more muffled sounds.

“Hey, you brat, it’s time to get up!” Corey pushed away the person lying on him.

Jeffrey looked at Corey’s bleeding arm in confusion.

When he saw the person hiding in the corner raise his gun and aim it at Corey, he instinctively pounced forward.

He did not know why he did it, but he did it.

He thought that maybe it was because Corey was the only one who could bring him out, so nothing could happen to Corey.

Jeffrey could only come up with this excuse.

But in fact, he had underestimated Corey. If even a layman like him could discover something, how could a veteran like Corey not discover it?

He had thought that he was saving his life, but in the end, he had become Corey’s hindrance, hindering Corey’s actions.

As a result, Corey was unable to kill his opponent in time and was instead shot.

This fact made Jeffrey feel gloomy.

Corey skillfully took out a handkerchief from his pocket and casually tied his arm that was grazed by the bullet.

Seeing Jeffrey’s expression turn ugly, as if he had suffered a huge blow, he slapped the head without holding back.

“What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and run!” As he spoke, Corey grabbed him by the arm and pushed him forward.

Jeffrey, who was suddenly pushed and almost fell, gritted his teeth. “Didn’t you say we can’t run?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the alarm sounded.

“What nonsense are you spouting? That loud gunshot just now was enough to expose you ten times!”

Corey was obviously very familiar with the route of the underground laboratory. He led Jeffrey around and avoided the enemy’s pursuit several times.

In the end, the two of them hid in the innermost part of the electrical room on the first floor.

Corey’s expression turned ugly. “It’s too late. Their people are already gathered outside.’

Jeffrey gripped the gun in his hand tightly. “What should we do now?”

Corey waited for the answer. “Wait!”

Jeffrey was puzzled. “Wait for who?”

Although he didn’t know how big the laboratory was, it was only a matter of time before they were found.

“Wait for my teammates.” Corey looked down at the mechanical watch on his hand.

Jeffrey thought back to the scene where he shot Muray without hesitation, and guessed that Corey was most likely a spy in this base. “So, you exposed your undercover identity to save me?”

Corey glanced at him. “Do you think you’re that important?”

Jeffrey was surprised. “You didn’t come here specifically to save me?”

“I’m just passing by.” Corey looked down at his watch again. “Next, you’d better keep your mouth shut and don’t ask anything. Just listen to my instructions.” He stared at his watch and counted silently. “Run!”

With that, he took the lead and ran out. Jeffrey was confused, but he could only quickly follow.

They quickly ran out of the motor room.

Bang! Bang! Two gunshots rang out. The two people who were chasing them were killed by Corey before they could react.

“10 0’clock!” Corey shouted.

Jeffrey subconsciously raised his pistol and fired a shot to his left.

Then, Corey immediately fired a second shot, and someone in the corner fell.

“Your reflexes and accuracy are not bad!” Corey gave him a rare compliment.

Jeffrey touched his wildly beating heart. Just as he was about to say something, a loud explosion sounded from beneath his feet. The two of them almost lost their balance from the shock.

“Run!”

Explosions kept coming from below. The two of them could only support themselves against the wall and barely stabilize their bodies as they ran forward.

Dozens of seconds later, they arrived at a deep well.

“Hurry up!” Jeffrey was pushed up a straight ladder by Corey.

The sound of the explosion was getting closer and closer, and the walls of the laboratory were constantly falling off.

The place was going to collapse soon. Realizing this, Jeffrey ignored his weak limbs and climbed up with all his might.

The straight ladder was very long. It was estimated to be about 20 meters long. Just as the two of them were halfway up, the explosion had already reached their feet..
