Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress - Chapter 59
Chapter 59: Young Master Yu’s Weapon
She spoke so softly that even Qu Yan who stood nearest to her could hear nothing at all.
Even Chu Xuning who stood a little further away couldn’t hear, too.
Chu 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.
At that moment, Yu Shijin tilted his head and said, “There are 108 mutants behind the base. Protect the doctor and leave.”
He 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.
Every command from this person was on point.
No matter which side one person stood, no one wanted to oppose it.
However, Chu Xuning felt that Young Master Yu did not seem calm judging by how he sounded.
Something did not sit right with Yu Shijin lately either.
The 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.
If the people behind this organization knew that Yu Shijin was involved in this operation, they definitely would not take action so blatantly.
‘Bang!’
At that moment…
All the street lights were switched off!
The streets entered a state of darkness!
Chu Xuning had a change of expression. From the corner of his eye, he saw a large mutant dog rushing over to them.
It had a blazing speed!
It was twice bigger than normal dogs, and under the emergency lights shining on the pathway, one could see its horrifying sharp canine teeth!
That research base probably had those mutant dogs as their experimental species!
Chu 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?”
Yu 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.
Their safety worried him.
Yu 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.
However, he maintained that deep, cold, and swift tone of voice that had no hint of sloppiness. “They are in a safer state than you.”
Chu Xuning was used to Yu Shijin’s combat mode, hence he felt nothing strange.
He 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.
Chu Xuning and the group of doctors broke into a cold sweat!
In other people’s eyes, Su Huiqing seemed frightened because she stood rooted to the ground.
However, Su Huiqing knew what she was doing.
She 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!
‘Bang!’
The two mutants dropped harshly to the ground!
Her 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…”
She had paused for a moment and scanned the large mutant animals coming to them from behind. She then spat, “Destroy them.”
With that, she slowly got up and nonchalantly walked towards the entrance with both hands in her pockets.
Yu Xiangyang and the other two glanced at each other before standing at her sides.
Gu Li was the first to throw out a small bottle that Su Huiqing handed him earlier on from his pocket and to the mutants.
When 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.
However, now…
He witnessed how the raging fire had exploded the mutant in pieces.
It also instantly lit up the whole pathway.
No matter how spacious the passageway was, the light from the fire radiated everywhere.
Su 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.
The 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.
Yu Shijin guarded the back alone.
The people at the back and front faced more mutants while the ones who stood in the middle were practically safe.
However, 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.
The group safely walked to the main hall which connected to countless passageways, but only one led to outside.
At the same time.
In 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!”
“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?”
“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?”
“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!”
Hearing that, the golden-haired man only squinted his eyes.
If 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…
And the two poker cards wedged in the tires.
He was unsure.
On 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.
Chi Yue had a change in expression.
The scene was like watching a zombie movie. As one stood in a spacious area, zombies rushed towards them from all directions.
Helplessness and despair overflowed the area.
Qu 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.”
In the entire main hall, only the passageway in the middle was not swarming with mutant animals.
Yu Xiangyang and Gu Li discreetly moved towards Su Huiqing and Qu Yan’s front.
Chu Xuning and the others leaned towards them as well. All of them had their backs against each other as they formed a circle.
In this group of people, most were not familiar with each other and had not interacted before.
But at that instant, they were all willing to let another person guard their backs.
It 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.
It was the feeling every countryman had in their bones, a hot-blooded nature!
Even Dr. Luxe took off his white coat, leaving him dressed in black.
He reached out to tighten the white ribbon on this wrist before calmly looking at the mutants swarming towards him.
Su 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.
She then pulled a soft sigh as she looked at the two girls who the others protected within the circle.
She pushed away Yu Xiangyang who stood in front of her.
After 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.”
‘Who was she talking to?’ Chu Xuning squinted his eyes.
At the next second, he heard a familiar cold voice. “Alright.”
It was obviously Yu Shijin’s voice.
Everyone looked at Yu Shijin, who slowly walked out from behind. He had a tall posture and had cold gleaming eyes.
He 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.”
With that, he slowly took out his weapon.
Chu Xuning could not help but stare as he watched his movements.
He knew the reason Yu Shijin rarely took out his weapon, and it was because the weapon was not a firearm, but an ancient bow.
Its workmanship was exquisite; it was black and made from an unknown material. They even carved his name on the bow—Predator.
Yu Shijin was the only one who could use that weapon.
Once the weapon was out, blood would definitely splatter. Hence, unless necessary, he would not just take it out randomly.
Yu Shijin’s subordinate described him with a phrase, and similar to his weapon, it was a phrase used since ancient times.
Every ten steps, one man down.
Every thousand miles, all men are gone!
