Chapter 253 celebrates the ending with a rain of blood.

“Xin Que,” Cheng Zheng’s voice came from Xin Que’s consciousness channel, “3 minutes left.”

Xin Que moved swiftly, firing the last bullet before snatching a submachine gun from the corpse lying on top of her.

Not far away, a barrage of submachine gun ammunition exploded one after another on the paving stones near her.

Xin Que simply used the corpses as cover, seized the opportunity to throw away the bodies that had been riddled with bullets, and rolled to the corner of the wall a few steps away.

Using the corner of the wall as cover, Xin Que finally found an opportunity to launch a counterattack.

Soon, the other party realized that the target had been silent for only a few dozen seconds after hiding in the corner.

Two possibilities.

One possibility is that the enemy has run out of ammunition and can only hide behind a corner, too afraid to come out.

Another possibility is that the enemy was wounded and rendered incapacitated during their recent intense firing.

"superior!"

With a wave of his hand, the armed men quickly dispatched more than a dozen team members wearing heavy bulletproof vests and carrying submachine guns to the corner where the target was hiding.

Xin Que reacted immediately the moment she saw the gun barrel.

The first team member to rush forward felt a sharp pain in his hand, but before he could pull the trigger, Xin Que's bullet was faster than him.

The crosshair was aimed directly at the opponent's carotid artery.

Seeing that something was wrong, the team members behind immediately slowed down.

These slowed-down steps successfully gave Xin Que time to launch a counterattack.

While using the terrain to suppress the advancing team members with firepower, Xin Que calculated how much ammunition was needed to break through the weak points of the body armor.

Submachine guns are too slow.

Xin Que quickly removed the magazine, discarded the heavy submachine gun, and grabbed the semi-automatic shotgun that she had been carrying on her back.

"Click".

The armor-piercing round was loaded into the chamber, and with one shot, a team member who was closer to the gun fell to the ground.

"Two minutes left!"

Xin Que took out the remaining troublesome team members one by one with each shot, and without stopping, he casually pulled the magazine hanging on his waist to replenish the ammunition he had used up.

When Cheng Zheng uses the android's body, his field of vision is almost as limited as that of a real person. He is in a completely opposite position to Xin Que and cannot see the environment in which Xin Que is located.

The only way to remind Xin Que to leave as soon as possible is by announcing the time.

Xin Que strode past the corpses in various poses around her, and once again slung the shotgun, with the safety locked, over her back.

Lifting his coat, Xin Que took out the last grenade, stood at the entrance of the ruins, decisively pulled out the safety pin, and threw it heavily into the ruins.

"boom----"

After the massive explosion, Xin Que immediately rushed out from behind the cover and headed straight for the passage that had been blown open.

"Click".

The pistol was reloaded.

When the footsteps sounded outside the basement, the noblewoman and her few surviving subordinates thought they had held out.

She felt dizzy. Although she found shelter before the miniature bomb detonated, the space in the basement was limited, and she inevitably suffered some injuries from the impact.

"Contact medical personnel immediately..."

Xin Que entered the basement, heard the sounds of living people, and immediately pulled the trigger.

Her opponent, who was unable to fight, wasted almost no time of her time.

After firing two shots into the chest and one into the brow, confirming that no one present had survived, Xin Que walked up to Huo Fenglin's mangled corpse.

The communicator's scanning function is enabled.

[Data search complete; target location has been marked in the scene.]

Sheathed his gun and switched to a knife. Without changing his expression, Xin Que squatted in front of a part of the corpse whose shape was no longer recognizable, and used his dagger to poke at a piece of flesh.

A blood-stained bionic chip fell into Xin Que's palm.

"Xin Que!"

Cheng Zheng's urging voice came again.

He stood guard near the exit of the ruins, constantly checking the time.

Less than 20 seconds left.

Just as the countdown reached 10 seconds, Xin Que's figure leaped over the wall and landed in front of Cheng Zheng.

"withdraw!"

Cheng Zheng glanced back one last time at the ruins of the old house, now a chaotic mess.

Then, without looking back, he left with Xin Que.

When Xin Que fell into the carriage, the medication she was taking completely lost its effect.

Cheng Zheng quickly started the SUV and drove Xin Que away from there.

On the opposite lane, convoys of luxury cars sped through the rain toward the Huo family's old residence, passing by Cheng Zheng and his SUV.

Thunder roared and tore through the dark clouds, followed by a torrential downpour that crashed down on the city.

Xin Que looked at the thick rain curtain on the windshield that the wipers could barely clear, and leaned back against the passenger seat.

Exhaustion and the physical burden caused by the failure of medication left her completely unable to get up.

But she felt more relaxed than ever before.

The images of the four members of the Huo family kept flashing before my eyes.

Finally, she couldn't help but laugh.

"Ha ha……"

An eye for an eye.

An eye for an eye.

From the moment she started out as an assassin, she declared that she would repay a hundredfold to anyone who plotted against her, regardless of their identity.

If you're going to kill Huo Tinghua's entire family, then not a single one of them should be spared.

She kept her word.

finally……

Xin Que's final revenge mission for himself came to a perfect end on this fine day of stormy weather.

Cheng Zheng glanced at his boss, whose mental state looked worrying.

He held the steering wheel with one hand and reached over with the other to flip down the vanity mirror on the passenger side.

"Save your energy," he muttered, "I'm afraid you'll laugh yourself to death looking like this."

Xin Que "..."

The woman's features, visible even through the heavy makeup, appeared pale and haggard in the small mirror.

He looked like he was about to die.

Xin Que's smile vanished, and she simply slumped back, leaning against the passenger seat like a salted fish.

The car quickly disappeared into the crisscrossing roads of the lower level.

The small door of the kitchenware store was pushed open once again.

However, this time it was Cheng Zheng who came in.

"Come and settle the remaining balance she owes," he said succinctly.

The shop owner only glanced at the android in front of him and didn't ask anything.

Cheng Zheng placed a heavy suitcase on the counter.

The latches were opened and the lid was lifted, revealing a golden statue of a human figure lying quietly inside the suitcase.

The shop owner fell silent as he looked at the discolored bloodstains on the statue and its features, which were strikingly similar to those of a deceased head of the Huo family.

Cheng Zheng remained calm and composed.

They dug up a lot of good stuff during their trip back to the Huo family.

It's more than enough to settle the debt.

“You didn’t tell your boss that you could only settle the debt in cash,” he said matter-of-factly. “The actual value of this thing, and… uh… its cultural value, would be worth far more than 90 million if it were auctioned on the market.”

The shop owner was speechless.

His lips twitched, and he put the briefcase into the darkroom.

"It's a pleasure doing business with you. Also... please give my boss's regards to Ms. Xin." He deftly crossed out Xin Que's debt, and his gaze toward Cheng Zheng, or rather, toward Xin Que behind Cheng Zheng, held a hint of apprehension and admiration.

"Oh, right, sir," the shop owner called out to Cheng Zheng as he turned to leave.

"Having closed such a big deal... is she planning to change careers, or retire?"
