"Don't worry, we know." Su Li nodded, and led Wang Lei and Xiao Dao cautiously toward the side path.

Bai Yu roared and charged towards the men in black, brandishing his steel pipe.

He was agile and nimble; the steel pipe seemed to come alive in his hands, flying up and down, catching the men in black off guard.

"Damn, this kid's got guts!" one of the men in black said, cursing as he covered his swollen face.

"Stop talking nonsense, get them!" another man in black roared.

The men in black immediately surrounded Bai Yu, and a fierce melee ensued.

Lu Zhaoming watched Bai Yu's figure and prayed silently in his heart.

"Good luck, bro."

He took a deep breath and turned to look in the direction where Su Li and the others had disappeared.

"Now it's up to us."

Just when they thought they could break through smoothly, a cold voice suddenly came from the darkness.

"Want to leave? Not so easy!"

Immediately afterwards, several dark figures darted out of the darkness and blocked their path.

Su Li immediately stopped in her tracks, her expression turning somewhat unpleasant.

"Looks like we've been discovered after all..."

Before Su Li could finish speaking, the dark figures had already pounced on them...

"Damn it, these bastards are really persistent!" Su Li spat, her charming face full of disgust.

Her alluring eyes scanned the surroundings like a wary cat. "Zhaoming, what should we do? How about we give them a 'love magic spin'?"

Lu Zhaoming's lips twitched, thinking to himself, "What time is it? This vixen is still trying to cause trouble."

However, he also knew that now was not the time to argue.

"Sister Li, you take Wang Lei and Xiao Dao and go first. I'll cover the rear." As Lu Zhaoming spoke, he pulled out two throwing knives from his waist, his eyes instantly turning sharp.

"You're all alone? Is that reliable?" Su Li looked at Lu Zhaoming with some concern.

"Don't worry, I've been trained." Lu Zhaoming smiled confidently, revealing a set of white teeth. "Besides, I have a secret weapon."

As he spoke, Lu Zhaoming moved swiftly, rushing towards the shadowy figures like a ghost.

His movements were as fast as lightning, and the throwing knives seemed to come alive in his hands, striking the enemy's vitals with pinpoint accuracy.

With two "thuds," two dark figures fell to the ground, clutching their throats and groaning in pain.

"Damn, this kid's got some skills!" Seeing this, the remaining shadowy figures dared not underestimate him any longer and drew their weapons, surrounding and attacking Lu Zhaoming.

Lu Zhaoming was not afraid at all. With his agile skills, he weaved through the crowd and dodged the enemy's attacks.

His throwing knives, like the scythe of death, relentlessly reaped the lives of his enemies.

Seeing this, Su Li didn't dare to delay. She quickly helped Wang Lei and Xiao Dao and ran towards a side path.

"Zhaoming, be careful!" Su Li called out as she ran.

"Don't worry, Sister Li, I'll come find you after I've dealt with them!" Lu Zhaoming said without turning his head.

With Lu Zhaoming providing cover, Su Li and the others quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Seeing that Su Li and the others had safely retreated, Lu Zhaoming felt relieved and began to focus all his efforts on dealing with the enemy in front of him.

He swayed and dodged an attack from a man in black, then kicked him in the knee, knocking him to the ground.

Then, he darted forward and ended his life with a throwing knife.

"Who else?" Lu Zhaoming's eyes swept coldly over the remaining men in black, his tone filled with murderous intent.

The men in black were intimidated by Lu Zhaoming's imposing presence and dared not advance further. They exchanged bewildered glances.

"Damn it, let's get out of here!" one of the men in black shouted when he saw that things were going badly, and then he turned and ran.

The remaining men in black also fled, disappearing into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

Lu Zhaoming did not give chase. He stood still, took a deep breath, and felt the power surging within his body.

"Awesome!" he couldn't help but roar, feeling his blood boiling.

Having dealt with the pursuers, Lu Zhaoming quickly chased after Su Li and the others in the direction they had retreated.

Before long, he caught up with Su Li and the others.

"Are you alright, Zhaoming?" Su Li asked hurriedly when she saw Lu Zhaoming arrive.

"It's nothing, just a few small fry." Lu Zhaoming waved his hand, looking relaxed.

"Tch, you're just bragging." Su Li pouted, but her eyes were full of concern.

"Alright, stop joking around, let's get out of here quickly," Lu Zhaoming said. "Who knows if those bastards will catch up again."

"Okay." Su Li nodded, helped Wang Lei and Xiao Dao, and continued walking forward.

After walking for about half an hour, they finally arrived at an abandoned gas station.

"Let's rest here for a bit," Su Li said. "Everyone's tired."

Lu Zhaoming nodded. He looked around and only felt relieved after confirming that there was no danger.

Wang Lei looked at Lu Zhaoming.

"Brother Lu, thank you so much this time," Wang Lei said. "If it weren't for you, my brother and I would probably be..."

"Let's not talk about that, Brother Wang." Lu Zhaoming patted Wang Lei on the shoulder. "We're friends, aren't we?"

Wang Lei nodded, his heart filled with emotion.

"By the way, Brother Wang," Lu Zhaoming suddenly remembered something and asked, "You said before that you knew about one of Scorpion's important bases?"

“That’s right.” Wang Lei nodded. “I know one of their secret hideouts, where they conduct human experiments.”
