The leopard's kick to the zombie was extremely powerful.

The force of the recoil tore my clothes to shreds instantly by the zombie's hands, leaving streaks of blood on my skin.

After the leopard pulled me away from the zombie, it tripped me and quickly knocked me to the ground, then pressed my head down and pinned me beneath it.

"boom!"

Immediately afterwards, a violent explosion rang out behind me, and a shockwave surged in, slamming my head against the ground.

I lay on the ground for a while before I came to my senses from the dizziness.

They immediately turned their attention to the zombies.

Under the power of the explosives, the zombie's head was blown off, leaving only a cavity in its body.

While I was distracted, Duan Jinyan had already led his men to the position in front of me.

When I saw Duan Jinyan, I instinctively reached for my knife at my waist, but all I found was an empty scabbard.

Duan Jinyan saw my actions and lowered his eyelids: "You need to understand, I just saved your life. Isn't this inappropriate?"

One of Duan Jinyan's men walked over and checked on Man Jing's condition: "Boss, this man has lost a lot of blood and needs emergency bandaging!"

Duan Jinyan glanced at the heavily injured Manjing and frowned, saying, "Ignore him, let's go."

After he finished speaking, two of his men came over and pulled me up from the ground.

What are you doing!

When I saw that Duan Jinyan was about to take me away and abandon Manjing, I immediately struggled and yelled at Duan Jinyan, "I don't care what you're going to do, but you absolutely can't leave my brother here!"

Hearing my shout, Duan Jinyan looked at me coldly: "You need to understand, I'm saving your life! If we keep delaying, none of us will be able to leave!"

This place is a secret fortification in the mountains, and we don't even know where the exit is. I was terrified that Duan Jinyan would abandon Manjing here, so I hysterically roared, "I never begged you to save me! I don't care what you want me for, but if anything happens to him, I will fucking not cooperate with you!"

Duan Jinyan looked at me and suddenly smiled: "Do you think you have the ability to threaten me?"

When I heard Duan Jinyan say that, I clenched my fists, and my eyes almost spit fire.

Since what happened at the Miao Jiang Immortal Palace, I no longer consider him my family.

Although he just saved my life, I don't really care about him.

But he's right, I have nothing now that I can use to threaten him into rescuing Manjing.

Just then, the leopard spoke up from the side: "If we don't save that big oaf, this little cub won't listen. Otherwise, let's take him with us."

Duan Jinyan frowned slightly: "Time is too tight. It will be difficult for us to leave with an injured person in tow!"

Leopard shrugged slightly: "If this kid doesn't cooperate, we'll have a hard time leaving too."

Upon hearing this answer, Duan Jinyan turned his gaze to a young man beside him: "Give the injured person some basic first aid, then take him away with you. Be quick!"

"clear!"

Upon hearing Duan Jinyan's order, the young man and a companion stepped forward, grabbed Manjing's arm, and dragged him toward the laboratory on the side.

When the others saw Duan Jinyan leave, they also pulled me into a nearby laboratory.

After the battle with the zombies, I was completely exhausted and was held down by Duan Jinyan's two men, with no strength left to resist.

Seeing Duan Jinyan enter my lab, I glared at him and asked, "Why are you here?"

"You don't need to be so hostile towards me, do you? I just saved your life."

Duan Jinyan kicked aside the corpse of a Japanese soldier and sat down in the chair opposite him: "No matter what happened before, you have to admit that you owe me a favor today! I don't need you to repay me or pay any price. I just hope that you will cooperate with me and not harm us, since I saved your life! After we leave this fortress, we'll go our separate ways and pretend we never met!"

"You came here because of me?"

I looked at Duan Jinyan in surprise: "How did you know I would be here?"

"You don't need to know this! I hope this will be the last time we meet, although I never thought I would ever see you before!"

Duan Jinyan looked at me and said expressionlessly, "I know you hate me, but the root of all this is because you keep causing me trouble. It's just that your repeated failures have only added to your troubles. I hope that saving your life today can wash away the anger in your heart and make you more rational."

After Duan Jinyan finished speaking, the young man from the next room stepped in: "Boss, that guy's wound has been bandaged up, we can set off at any time!"

Upon hearing this, Duan Jinyan stood up from his chair: "There's no time to lose, let's leave this place as soon as possible."

"Bang!"

Just then, a gunshot rang out from outside.

The young man who was standing at the door talking to Duan Jinyan was shot in the head. His head exploded like a watermelon, and blood splattered all over the wall.

"Damn it, they're moving faster than we thought!"

Upon seeing the corpse lying at the door, Leopard instantly drew his pistol from his waist, hid at the muzzle, and fired two shots randomly outside to let the people outside know that he was armed and thus prevent them from approaching.

As the leopard fired its gun, a male voice came from outside: "Duan Jinyan, I know you're here. If you don't want to die a horrible death, you'd better come out yourself!"

"Wu Tao, we are both men of the Black Robe, and I am your superior. You are digging your own grave by being so insubordinate!"

Duan Jinyan heard the noise outside and shouted with a gloomy face, "Take your people away now, and I'll just assume you acted impulsively and won't hold you responsible!"

"Duan Jinyan, do you still think you're some kind of fearsome beast that everyone trembles over?"

Wu Tao's voice grew even angrier: "I forgot to tell you, before I came here, the head office had already decided to strip you of all your positions and cease all company support. Duan Jinyan, your era is over! Listen up, everyone inside, Duan Jinyan is no longer in charge of the Black Robe. If you die for him, the company will not be held responsible!"

"Wu Tao, you're talking nonsense!"

A shout soon came from the next lab: "Everyone in the company knows you've always harbored a grudge against the boss! Today you crossed the line, committing insubordination. According to company rules, this warrants a global manhunt and a complete crackdown!"

"Hehe, that's the second thing I want to talk about."

Wu Tao revealed a contemptuous smile: "Duan Jinyan betrayed the company, the evidence is conclusive, Jinbai International has issued a global kill order against him, to exterminate his entire family! Anyone who assists him will be punished as an accomplice!"
