Chapter 539: No Escape

Upon hearing Ling Chen’s words, everyone fell silent; it was as if no one had dared suggest guns were off-limits.

"You, as a martial artist, what skill is there in using a gun?" a man coldly shouted.

Ling Chen chuckled and retorted, "So it's skillful for so many of you to bully the two of us?" As he spoke, he glanced at the crowd and wryly said, "There are eleven of you left, and my gun should still have seven bullets. Whoever wants to taste a bullet, feel free to come at me."

"Don’t waste words with him; let’s all go at him together. With so many of us, are we still afraid of him?"

"Go!"

However, although more than ten people shouted aggressively, not one dared to step forward, all somewhat wary of the gun in Ling Chen’s hand.

The two who were just gunned down were Dragon List experts. Though they ranked at the bottom, they were still Dragon List experts and didn’t even have a chance to evade. With this lesson before them, the others were all somewhat frightened, fearing they would be the next to be gunned down.

Seeing that no one dared to make a move, Ling Chen impatiently said, "Are you going to fight or not? I don’t have time to dawdle with you. If you don’t take action, then we’re going to leave, okay?"

Saying that, Ling Chen signaled He Ziyun with his eyes, and the two of them, back to back, slowly moved toward the blast-proof door.

A man coldly said, "This door has been locked tight; I’d like to see where you can run."

"I…" Ling Chen was about to speak, but before he could finish, a sudden loud boom came from outside the blast-proof door. Accompanied by the roar, the door vibrated violently.

What’s going on?

Ling Chen looked at the blast-proof door in surprise, inwardly puzzled.

Just as he was astonished, the blast-proof door was hit again, exploding outward from the outside, with both iron doors deformed, revealing a narrow gap. Although it was tight, it was just wide enough for an adult to squeeze through.

"Mr. He, let’s go!"

After a brief moment of shock, Ling Chen quickly reacted, urging loudly.

Hearing Ling Chen’s shout, He Ziyun hesitated no longer and quickly ran toward the blast-proof door.

Seeing the two ready to escape, a group of masters did not dare to hesitate any longer, and they all started moving, racing towards Ling Chen and He Ziyun, trying to intercept them.

As the opponents closed in, Ling Chen quickly glanced using his peripheral vision, and with a flick of his wrist, he fired a shot.

Bang!

A man who was at the forefront instantly fell into a pool of blood, hit directly between the eyebrows, with deadly precision and without any deviation.

Looking at the body on the ground, the corners of Ling Chen’s mouth curved up into a proud smile. Although he hadn’t used a gun for a long time, his marksmanship had not regressed; on the contrary, it was even more precise than before, which might be due to his increased strength, making his reactions and vision sharper.

In the future, as long as he carried two guns, which Dragon List expert would dare to mess with him?

One shot, one kill.

As he was thinking this, he heard He Ziyun’s voice from behind: "Ling Chen, come quickly."

Ling Chen shifted his gaze and saw He Ziyun had already crawled through the blast-proof door. Without another word, he immediately followed. At this time, the group of masters stood hesitantly, not daring to act rashly. After witnessing Ling Chen’s precise shooting, it would be a lie to say they were not afraid.

Seizing the opportunity, Ling Chen quickly squeezed through the gap in the blast-proof door.

After leaving the laboratory, Ling Chen then realized that besides He Ziyun, there were two unfamiliar men with them. Curiously he asked, "Who are you?"

"Don’t ask so much now; this is not a place to stay for long. Let’s hurry up and go," one of the men urged.

Ling Chen asked, "Do you have a way to escape?"

"Just follow us."

After speaking, the two men no longer lingered and quickly headed towards the outside of the base.

"Worthless! A bunch of worthless trash!"

In the control room, Louis saw the performance of that group of experts through the surveillance footage and got infuriated. So many skilled fighters, yet scared stiff by a mere gun, failing to subdue even two people. He really wondered why the organization had spent so much to train these wastes.

"Mr. Louis, what should we do now?"

Hearing the staff’s question, Louis took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger in his heart, and said solemnly, "Send everyone out; no matter the cost, they must not be allowed to escape the base." After he finished, he paused, then coldly added: "Tell those wastes that the God Organization has no use for useless people; if they can’t capture them, then they should go to die."

"Yes!"

At this moment, Ling Chen and He Ziyun, following the two men, marched rapidly through the corridors. Before long, the group of four arrived at the site where the railcar was parked.

Walking along the way, Ling Chen noticed something odd – no one was coming to stop them, as if they were allowed to leave freely.

"The railcar has been shut down; we can only walk out," one of the men declared after checking the railcar.

"Let’s go."

Looking at the pitch-black tunnel, Ling Chen did not hesitate and took off running. Once through this tunnel, it would mean seeing daylight again.

However, they hadn’t run a third of the distance when they saw a heavy gate, weighing a thousand kilograms, drop in front of them, sealing the entire tunnel.

When he first entered, Ling Chen had heard Louis mention that the tunnel was rigged with many traps, making it impossible for anyone to escape. This thousand-kilogram gate must be one of the contingency measures.

Faced with the heavy gate, Ling Chen turned his gaze to the two unfamiliar men, hoping they had a solution. However, they just shook their heads, making a gesture of helplessness.

Ling Chen felt somewhat helpless; he had thought these two guys could lead them out.

Just as he was contemplating, two people suddenly rushed from behind in the tunnel. Turning his head, Ling Chen’s expression became peculiar. The two, a man and a woman, were wearing masks as if afraid of being recognized.

Moreover, the woman’s eyes dodged upon seeing him, as if she dared not meet his gaze. Even when she approached, she remained behind the suited man, never revealing herself.

Strange!

Ling Chen thought to himself that at a glance, the woman felt oddly familiar. However, he wasn’t sure if his feeling was real.

It was probably the Prajnaparamita Sutra from the large building at work.

"Are you all in this together?"

The suited man who had caught up nodded and asked, "We’ve dealt with most of the pursuers, and no one should catch up for now. What’s your situation?"

No wonder the path was so smooth; they had been helping.

Ling Chen immediately understood. Pointing at the heavy gate, he said, "This gate has sealed the tunnel; we can’t get through."

Hearing this, the suited man walked up to the gate, touched it, and seemed to be checking its thickness.

"This gate is very sturdy. It’s unlikely to open with just human strength."

"What do we do then?"

Just as Ling Chen finished speaking, Louis’s voice came through the loudspeakers on both sides of the wall: "Gentlemen, I advise you to stop wasting your efforts. Just surrender peacefully, and maybe I can spare your lives."
