Both sides were somewhat wary of the no-fighting rule in the base; otherwise, Cheng Shaolin would have set it on fire early in the morning.

The three men began to move, heading in three different directions, attempting to surround Li Xiao and Cheng Shaolin.

Cheng Shaolin and Li Xiao exchanged a subtle glance, deciding to play along.

Li Xiao also pretended to be threatened, revealing a little bit of tension and restlessness.

Cheng Shaolin, on the other hand, remained calm and alert, confronting the two men who approached him.

Two men attacked Cheng Shaolin from two different directions at the same time.

Cheng Shaolin immediately raised his arm to meet the punch, blocked it briefly, and then dodged another fist that came flying at him.

Just as he dodged it, the first man's fist came flying at him again.

Cheng Shaolin quickly dodged again, and then a second man's leg came flying at him...

After going back and forth with them several times, Li Xiao widened her eyes appropriately and nervously took out a knife from her spatial storage.

With a flash of cold light, the man guarding her saw the curved knife she had taken out and his eyes lit up.

Good stuff.

Men seem to be interested in this; they can't take their eyes off it once they see it.

Li Xiao swung her knife at the man, but he easily dodged it.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to be such a feisty one. A feisty one is great, I like it." He then stroked his chin with interest.

As things unfolded as she had anticipated, Liu Dandan felt a surge of smug satisfaction.

Standing behind her with her arms crossed, she couldn't help but remind her, "You'd better be careful. She's not what she looks like. She can handle a knife."

"Oh, that'll be a lot of fun!" the man chuckled, even more intrigued by the suggestion.

"Fuck your mother!" Li Xiao said angrily.

"Haha, interesting."

The man was a metal-type ability user; when Li Xiao's knife struck his arm, it was blocked by a layer of golden metal on his arm.

With a series of clanging sounds, the man burst into laughter.

Cheng Shaolin was being attacked by two men and was gradually losing ground.

Hearing the man's taunts from Li Xiao's side, he momentarily lost his focus, revealing a weakness, and was punched in the chest.

Cheng Shaolin pretended to stagger back two steps, and when he saw another person about to step forward, he pretended to be scared. His expression changed, and after thinking for a moment, he turned around, grabbed Li Xiao's hand, and ran back.

"Oh, trying to run away?"

"Chase!"

The three agreed that they couldn't just let their prey escape.

They immediately picked up and chased after Li Xiao and the others.

"Hey, you guys go too!" Liu Dandan was about to run off when she realized she didn't know whether she should go and check on them as well.

She actually wanted to see Li Xiao in a sorry state, but she didn't really want to chase after her.

"Go ahead, aren't you going? Didn't you say that woman has a lot of stuff? You don't want it? Well then, it's all ours."

Before the man could finish speaking, he had already run several meters away, thinking to himself that it was better if Liu Dandan didn't go, as they could get even more.

I regret reminding Liu Dandan; why did I blurt it out?

Liu Dandan also had her own thoughts, and she got anxious after being told that.

Yes, that woman has a lot of good stuff. Much more than what she has in her own space.

No, I have to go too. I can't let them loot everything.

Besides, there's also the gun.

That's something you can only hope to encounter once in a lifetime.

I never expected that Li Xiao would have one, damn it, it's a machine gun.

I have to go, and I need to have my own too!

And so, Liu Dandan quickly followed after them.

The three men were also mindful that they couldn't make a move in the base, and the time they had spent just now was short enough that they hadn't alerted the base's security team.

If you really want to gain something, you'll likely have to use your special abilities.

If you use your superpowers, you can't do it inside the base; you have to go outside.

Without saying a word, the three of them split into three directions and forced Li Xiao and Cheng Shaolin out of the base.

After a series of pursuits, coupled with Cheng Shaolin's decent acting skills, he appropriately portrayed a timid and hesitant demeanor, without making it too obvious.

At this distance, the group of people were suspended and, at their will, were made to run outside the base.

Cheng Shaolin looked at Li Xiao, and their eyes met; both of them found it somewhat amusing.

"Hurry up." Cheng Shaolin pulled Li Xiao along as they ran, glancing back every now and then, heading straight for the base gate without stopping.

"Hey, run, keep running."

"Haha, run faster!"

"Run! We'll see how we kill you later."

"elder brother--"

"Don't be afraid, everything will be alright. Run!" Cheng Shaolin, panting, grabbed Li Xiao's hand and held it tightly.

Actually, it's not far from the base gate.

It only takes about 10 minutes to get here from there, and it would be even faster to run here.

The guards at the gate were puzzled when they saw the man and woman running towards them.

What's going on?

Why are you running outside looking so scared?

Then three tall, burly men followed them aggressively, chasing after the people in front all the way out of the base.

...?

Why are they still running outside?

Today is particularly strange; I haven't seen anyone running out. They usually run in.

The guards didn't stop them. With so many people coming and going every day, they didn't have time to meddle in such trivial matters.

Two minutes later, Liu Dandan finally arrived at the base entrance, belatedly.
