At this critical moment, a thick and solid ice wall suddenly appeared in front of the bodyguard!
This left Ye Lei completely astonished. So this was the powerful defensive ability he possessed—the Ice Shield!
Ye Lei stopped in his tracks with lightning speed; at that moment, his forehead was only ten centimeters away from the ice shield!
If you were to crash into it, the consequences would be unimaginable; at best, you would suffer a head injury and bleeding, and at worst, you would lose your life.
Since there's an ice shield blocking our way, let's shatter it!
Without hesitation, Ye Lei swung his lightsaber, which shone with intense light, and slashed at the ice shield with all his might.
With a "crackling" sound, the ice shield gradually began to melt, but the melting speed was unusually slow.
Ye Lei took a deep breath, raised his lightsaber high again, changed the angle, and delivered another heavy blow.
After repeating this process eight times, the incredibly hard ice shield finally shattered under the attack.
Ye Lei then launched a flying kick, sending the broken ice flying everywhere.
But who could have predicted that something unexpected would happen: after the first ice shield shattered, a new ice shield appeared right behind it!
It was obvious that the bodyguard had activated his supernatural abilities once again.
This can't go on!
Ye Lei's patience had long since run out. He made a decisive move, took out an MP18 submachine gun from his personal space, and unleashed a barrage of fire at the ice shield without hesitation.
This time, the attack speed was noticeably faster.
The ice shield shattered rapidly amidst the hail of bullets, but at the same time, the next ice shield was just beginning to form.
Ye Lei casually put the submachine gun, which was already empty of bullets, into his spatial storage.
Anyway, he has more than ten spares, and he doesn't have time to change the magazines now.
This time, as the ice shield shattered, the opponent's ability was clearly still on cooldown, and their anxiety was palpable.
Ye Lei pulled the trigger without hesitation, because he knew that such a superhuman was undoubtedly a huge threat to him, and he had to kill him as soon as possible.
However, after pulling the trigger several times, no bullet was fired, and it was then discovered that the bullets had been exhausted.
Left with no other choice, Ye Lei had to take out the lightsaber from his spatial storage again, since it was still the most suitable weapon for such close range.
In those few short seconds of delay, just as he was about to swing his sword down, the bodyguard sped away again, and Ye Lei missed his target.
Ye Lei turned around and looked at the bodyguard who was panting heavily. Clearly, the other man's energy was almost exhausted, and he was probably trying to recover as quickly as possible.
Sure enough, he spoke.
"Who are you? How come you also have superpowers?"
Does it matter who I am? As long as I'm better than you, that's enough.
"Did you also come from that laboratory?"
"What laboratory?"
"that is……"
The bodyguard suddenly realized he had let something slip and quickly shut up, which made Ye Lei feel that the matter was even more complicated.
"What's your name? Let's get to know each other."
Since the other party's capabilities are limited anyway, we might as well chat more and try to extract more useful information.
"My name is No.1, what's yours?"
"No.1? What kind of name is that? My name is Ye Lei."
"I was among the first test subjects in the lab, and the first survivor to awaken my superpowers, which is why I took this name. Aren't you from that lab?"
"I forgot which lab it was?"
Ye Lei deliberately tricked him.
"that is……"
The other person shut up again.
"Since you are unwilling to talk, then I have no choice but to send you on your way."
Ye Lei's eyes flashed with a chilling killing intent. He clenched his fists tightly, thinking to himself, "I refuse to believe that without this so-called No.1, I can't find out the truth!"
His gaze was firm and resolute, as if he wanted to tear everything in front of him apart.
The bodyguard standing opposite him keenly sensed the intense killing intent emanating from Ye Lei, and his heart tightened involuntarily.
Without hesitation, he mobilized all his strength, preparing to unleash his most powerful ability once again—the Ice Shield.
However, this time Ye Lei did not give the bodyguard any chance to catch his breath. He calmly activated his superpower—Hellfire Lightning.
In an instant, several dazzling bolts of lightning descended from the sky, striking directly at the bodyguard.
The overwhelming lightning contained boundless power, and wherever it passed, the air seemed to be torn in two.
Faced with such a terrifying attack, the bodyguard's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
Even though he was running at top speed, one of the bolts of lightning struck his head without fail, and he immediately collapsed.
Ye Lei rushed over with lightning speed, his lightsaber pressed against the bodyguard's neck, and the bodyguard dared not move an inch.
"Tell me, what kind of laboratory is it? Maybe I can spare your life."
"I can't say it, or I won't be able to live."
It seems this really is a huge secret.
"In that case, I'll see you off!"
Ye Lei asked him many times, but couldn't get any answers. He then gently and forcefully cut off his head.
At the same time, in that mysterious laboratory, a green light marked No.1 suddenly went out, causing the white-coated doctor in front of the equipment to tremble slightly and pick up the landline phone next to him.
"Ye Lei, did you really kill him?"
Only then did Cha Zhijun regain his senses from the intense battle between the two.
"What? Is there a problem?"
Ye Lei said dismissively.
"He was sent by higher-ups."
"Up there? Who's up there?"
Ye Lei originally thought the investigation would end here, but little did he know that this was just the beginning.
Do you really want to know?
"Of course, the fact that the laboratory he mentioned could awaken superpowers in survivors is probably all thanks to these crystal cores. And that's the biggest threat to me. You don't want your daughter to be in danger, do you?"
Now that things have come to this point, Ye Lei has come to understand a lot. Cha Zhijun was just someone else's errand boy.
"You mean Murong? Does this have anything to do with her?"
When talking about his daughter, Cha Zhijun became a little nervous.
"What do you think? Your daughter is with me. I believe you figured that out while I was fighting with him, right?"
"Yes, I just asked on my phone, and she is indeed with you."
Cha Zhijun doesn't seem to be idle either.
"That settles it then. I'll kill this No.1, and your so-called superiors will find out very quickly. Do you think they'll let me off the hook?"
"this……"
The usually calm and experienced Cha Zhijun suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter, which far exceeded his expectations.
