The air was thick and viscous, like leftover porridge, making it hard to breathe.
Lu Zhaoming narrowed his eyes, and the judgment system went into full power, scanning the surroundings.
"Goodness, this old guy is really cunning!" Lu Zhaoming couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
Inside the abandoned factory, infrared beams were densely packed like a spider web, thermal sensors were everywhere, and patrol teams were running around like headless flies—it was like a scene from a "Resident Evil" movie.
"Be careful, their cordon is very tight." Su Li's voice was very low, as gentle as a cat's, but with a hint of barely perceptible worry.
Lu Zhaoming nodded, signaling Xiao Cui to stay on the perimeter to provide support.
Although Xiao Cui was scared, she still gripped the gun tightly and nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
"Don't worry, Cui'er, I've got your back!" Lu Zhaoming patted her shoulder and gave her a reassuring smile, which made Cui'er blush.
The three of them crouched down, like three nimble geckos, and scurried along the wall into the back of the factory.
The ventilation ducts were rusty and smelled musty, like socks that hadn't been washed in centuries.
Lu Zhaoming took the lead and went inside.
"Keep up, don't fall behind!"
The inside of the pipe is narrow and cramped, allowing only one person to barely pass through.
Lu Zhaoming activated the night vision function and, using the faint light, carefully crawled forward.
"Does this feel like exploring a sewer?" Su Li's voice came from behind, tinged with a hint of teasing.
"Don't jinx it. If we really encounter something disgusting, I won't let you off the hook!" Lu Zhaoming said irritably.
After climbing for about ten minutes, Lu Zhaoming finally saw the exit.
He gently pushed open the vent and poked his head out.
A still-functioning terminal device came into view, its screen flashing with dazzling encrypted data.
"Damn, I've struck gold!" Lu Zhaoming rubbed his hands together excitedly.
He quickly activated the system's analysis function, and after a flurry of operations, successfully cracked part of the information.
“Purification Project Transfer Station…Experimental Samples…Control Devices…” Lu Zhaoming became increasingly alarmed as he looked at the document.
"Holy crap, these guys are inhuman!"
Su Li also came over, glanced at the data on the screen, and her face instantly turned pale.
"If this data is leaked, the entire wasteland will be in chaos!"
"We must get our hands on it!" Lu Zhaoming took a deep breath and began copying the data.
However, at that moment, a cold voice suddenly rang out:
"Lu Zhaoming, do you think you can escape?"
The white fox appeared behind Lu Zhaoming like a ghost, a mocking smile on its face.
"Not good!" Lu Zhaoming exclaimed inwardly.
Almost simultaneously, the factory lights suddenly came on, and countless dark gun barrels were pointed at them.
The scorpion squad surged in like a tide, surrounding the three of them.
"Heh heh, you choose the path to heaven but refuse to take it, you barge into the gates of hell. Lu Zhaoming, today is your death day!" Poison Scorpion's voice came from the crowd, carrying a mocking tone like a cat playing with a mouse.
Lu Zhaoming sneered and said disdainfully, "You bunch of ugly ducklings? You think too highly of yourselves."
He deliberately put the terminal device into self-destruct mode, and a countdown began to appear on the screen.
"Oh no, he's going to destroy the data!" White Fox exclaimed in alarm, his expression changing.
"Stop him!" Scorpion shouted frantically.
Taking advantage of the enemy's confusion, Lu Zhaoming shouted, "Retreat!"
He grabbed Su Li's hand and rushed towards the ventilation duct.
"Trying to run? Not so easy!" White Fox sneered, leading a group of men in hot pursuit.
Just as Lu Zhaoming and the others entered the ventilation duct, the white fox attacked.
Countless bullets struck the pipes, creating a deafening sound.
"Damn, this woman's serious!" Lu Zhaoming muttered as he climbed.
The exit was right in front of them, but the white fox was clearly prepared, and she personally led her team to block the exit.
"Lu Zhaoming, let's see where you run this time!" The white fox's voice was full of smugness.
Faced with a desperate situation of being attacked from both sides, Lu Zhaoming remained calm.
He took a deep breath and activated the time delay function.
Everything around seemed to slow down; the trajectories of bullets and the movements of the enemy became clearly visible.
"Now!" A glint flashed in Lu Zhaoming's eyes, and the Blade of Judgment instantly changed its form, transforming into a giant scythe.
"Open it for me!"
He brandished his scythe like the Grim Reaper, instantly routing several vanguard soldiers.
Su Li wasn't idle either; she took out several doses of adrenaline from her medical kit and injected them into herself and Xiao Cui.
"Sisters, let's charge!"
The three people stood back to back, forming a solid defensive formation.
Using the advantage of time delay, Lu Zhaoming constantly dodged enemy attacks while reaping enemy lives with the Blade of Judgment.
Su Li used darts and poison to constantly harass the enemy.
Although Xiao Cui was afraid, she still gripped the gun tightly and fired shots from time to time, posing a threat to the enemy.
The three worked together seamlessly and managed to fight their way out of the enemy's encirclement.
However, just as they were about to break through, Lu Zhaoming suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Su Li asked, puzzled.
Lu Zhaoming did not answer, but looked into the distance with a strange smile on his lips.
The scorpion did not give chase, but stood at a distance with a meaningful smile on its face.
