After a burst of gunfire, the assassins lay dead on the floor of the corridor.
Chu Liyue led Chu Nanfeng and Leng Ruxue over quickly, and Ye Jinyu also helped Professor Smith, whose hair and beard were all white, out from under the table.
Chu Liyue bowed solemnly to the old man. Before the old man could respond, Chu Nanfeng bowed and said, "Excuse me, Professor," and then, in the old man's dazed gaze, he bent down and carried the old man on his back.
Then, the group carried Smith on their backs, grabbed Ye Jinyu, and quickly ran towards the stairs at the end of the corridor.
As she sprinted forward, Chu Liyue quickly explained:
"We heard the commotion here and rushed over quickly."
"The assassins outside are still there, and the men we brought are not enough to easily deal with them."
"To completely take them down, we'll probably have to wait for the local police to arrive."
Ye Jinyu's face darkened slightly upon hearing this, and she rarely made such a comment:
"The efficiency here is really low. If this were in China, the site would have been cleaned up by now."
Chu Liyue looked slightly helpless upon hearing this; not every place in the world is like China.
After all that running around, Ye Jinyu was also feeling the strain and suggested, "Let's find somewhere to hide for a while; I'm a bit too tired to run anymore."
Chu Liyue said coldly and ruthlessly, "Hold on a little longer, at least we need to get out of here first."
"These assassins are likely to resort to extreme measures when they fail to complete their missions and are at a disadvantage. Now is not the time to relax."
She quickly reached the top of the stairs, then leaped down the handrail, her long hair flying in the wind, her figure graceful.
In the blink of an eye, they had crossed two staircases, which made the old man Smith on Chu Nanfeng's back widen his eyes in amazement.
Just then, he heard Chu Nanfeng's deep voice in his ear, "Hold on tight, Professor!"
The next moment, Chu Nanfeng carried him on his back, used his long legs to leap up, and landed on a staircase with each step.
The thrill of scaling walls and rooftops made Smith gasp in surprise.
"Oh my god!"
"It's so cool, you are superman!"
Just as the group was taking two steps per floor and was about to reach the bottom, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps in the stairwell.
Chu Liyue's eyes narrowed, realizing that the assassins below had heard the commotion and were closing in.
With a sudden burst of power, she swooped down like lightning. The instant the assassins looked up and saw her, a gleaming dagger, accompanied by the sound of air being cut, precisely slashed through the necks of several assassins.
Immediately afterward, her slender figure leaped into the crowd, caught the short blade that had just been thrown, and with a flick of her wrist, the assassins closest to her hadn't even had time to react before blood splattered from their necks, and they were thrown backward uncontrollably.
Chu Liyue kicked out, causing the assassins behind her to fall backward together.
"Boss, get out of the way!"
A delicate voice came from behind her, and Chu Liyue immediately moved back a little.
Leng Ruxue's petite figure leaped down and stood on the stairwell. Her long sniper rifle roared and thundered, bullets raining down like a dense storm. Instantly, the entire stairwell was littered with corpses and flowed like a river of blood.
Smith, on Chu Nanfeng's back, looked as if he had seen a superheroine from a movie, his eyes shining, "Cool!"
"Superheroes!"
They secretly twitched their lips. Without wasting any time, they quickly leaped downstairs before the assassins from behind could arrive as reinforcements.
The hotel has an excellent environment and a huge area, with the first floor being so large it's like a maze.
As Chu Liyue hurried down the corridor, her brows furrowed slightly.
She clearly remembered that when she arrived, a large number of assassins had flooded into the building. The first floor should have been the place with the most assassins, but now she couldn't see a single one, which was obviously against common sense.
"Speed up. Our people outside may have gained the upper hand. The assassins inside should be retreating. I'm worried that in their desperation, they might resort to explosives."
As the extremely cold and deep voice fell, Chu Nanfeng and the others instantly felt a chill run down their spines and immediately gritted their teeth to accelerate again.
Smith, who couldn't understand Chinese, felt a sudden jolt and gasped for breath, feeling dizzy.
“Slow down…”
Ye Jinyu, standing beside him, gritted her teeth and explained the reason to him. Smith instantly sobered up, "Hurry up!"
Rushing rapidly towards the end of the corridor, Chu Liyue's ears twitched slightly, and she immediately spoke coldly:
"Get ready, there are assassins evacuating ahead."
"I'll go up and hold them off, you guys protect Professor Smith and get out of here first."
As soon as she finished speaking, her slender hands quickly covered her waist, holding two guns, and she rushed out of the corridor exit first.
Stepping out of the corridor leads to the main hall, where a large group of assassins in black are rapidly retreating in neat formation towards the door.
Bullets whistled through the air, and before the assassin could react, Chu Liyue had already swiftly leaped between the counters that could be used as cover, launching the first attack on the assassin.
The retreating assassins reacted instantly and surrounded her.
At the same time, Chu Nanfeng carried Professor Smith on his back, while Ye Jinyu and Leng Ruxue formed a wall around him as they ran towards the door.
With a loud "boom," a huge cloud of fire rose up not far from the door.
With the combined forces of the men they brought and the arriving police, the assassins outside the door were clearly at a disadvantage.
As Chu Liyue expected, in desperation, the assassins had already resorted to using incredibly destructive bombs without any regard for consequences.
Upon seeing this, everyone broke out in a cold sweat. They dared not imagine what would happen if the bomb fell into the building while they were still upstairs.
With the gate within reach, her sniper rifle fired, the spent cartridges hitting the ground with a "rat-a-tat-tat" sound. Leng Ruxue wiped the blood splattered on her face and shouted to Chu Nanfeng and Ye Jinyu beside her:
"Hurry up, let's settle this old man who can help the handsome young man get treatment first. The eldest brother and I will help you stall him."
Gritting his teeth, under her cover, Chu Nanfeng immediately carried Professor Smith on his back and rushed out the door with Ye Jinyu.
The bombs outside were being dropped more and more frantically, and the landing points were getting closer and closer to the building.
The long sniper rifle in Leng Ruxue's hand was too powerful, and many assassins who had been attracted away by Chu Liyue still came to surround Leng Ruxue.
Amidst the dense hail of bullets, Leng Ruxue was unable to dodge in time. Accompanied by a sharp scraping sound, a table that had been tilted to the side slid precisely in front of Leng Ruxue, and the bullets hit the table, making a piercing explosion.
Leng Ruxue's eardrums were so shocked by the noise that she couldn't help but cover her ears, and her head was throbbing.
In a daze, she heard Chu Liyue's furious shout, "Xiaoxue, run!"
Because, several bombs were flying straight down into the building below them from the sky outside the door.
Forcibly shaking her somewhat muddled head, Leng Ruxue struggled to run outside.
Chu Liyue also rushed towards the door from behind, kicking over a side table that slammed into the assassin behind her. At the same time, she used the momentum to propel herself outwards.
Behind her, a deafening explosion, accompanied by shattering glass and the sound of buildings collapsing, rang out. Leng Ruxue staggered, her legs going weak.
At the critical moment, a tall figure rushed towards her and pulled her into his arms.
