Ye Qingxi instantly transformed into a tiger, leaping out from the upper half of the elevator and grabbing the attacker, knocking him to the ground. Her claws scraped against the floor, creating a series of ear-piercing scraping sounds and sparks flying.
The attacker died instantly, and his emergency light fell to the ground, illuminating the corridor.
Four or five people in black combat uniforms.
"Mingwang! It's Mingwang's mercenaries! They've come to kill me! They know I'm in charge, and they're here to kill me!"
Director Zhen trembled in fright, his face turned ashen, and he pounded on the alarm button on the elevator wall, screaming uncontrollably.
In an instant, the warning red lights flashed throughout the entire underground base, and the piercing alarm sounded throughout the floors!
Ye Qingxi roared and pounced on them, grabbing several people and yelling, "Gu Zhuyang! Take the mentor and the director and escape! I'm afraid we'll be left to cover our retreat!"
At the same time, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed from a distance in the corridor. It was the sound of military boots hitting the floor, urgent as a storm, like the echo of death!
Professor Hua's short, stout body weighed down on Tong Su.
He had been shot in the shoulder and lost a lot of blood. He was extremely weak and powerless at the moment. If Tong Su hadn't been supporting him, he would have collapsed immediately.
"Let's go from the fifth basement level!"
He struggled to his feet, and Tong Su, seeing that Director Zhen was still screaming, kicked him angrily: "Come and help support the professor!"
Director Zhen then realized what was happening and quickly helped the professor up by his other arm. The three of them slumped down and jumped from the lower half of the elevator to the fifth basement level.
"Basement level five! They went to basement level five! Go after them!"
Through the elevator shaft, faint screams could be heard coming from the fourth basement level. They were from mercenaries who were still alive, but soon, accompanied by a tiger's roar, the sound ceased.
Ye Qingxi quickly dealt with the last mercenary, and when she looked up, she saw that the main force of reinforcements was approaching. As she turned the corner, red alarms blared through the flashing lights of several figures rushing by.
"Charge! Kill them all at all costs!"
"yes!"
Ye Qingxi gritted his teeth and suddenly darted back into the elevator. Behind him, he heard a series of gunshots. He abruptly ducked, and the bullets grazed his skin before hitting the elevator wall.
He stomped his foot hard!
The elevator suddenly plummeted downwards.
Ye Qingxi knew the elevator was broken. He had only thought that he could make the elevator go down a little bit, but he didn't expect that the broken part of the elevator seemed to be fixed instantly, and it suddenly jumped down.
It stopped exactly on the fifth floor, no more, no less.
Ye Qingxi and her companion tumbled out of the elevator entrance on the fifth basement level. Ignoring their disheveled appearance, covered in dust and grime, they leaped forward with a powerful tug.
Tong Su was supporting Professor Hua as they walked unsteadily down the corridor. Her face was even paler, and she looked haggard.
Ye Qingxi assumed she was frightened and, without thinking much of it, tossed Professor Hua onto her back with one hand and grabbed Tong Su with the other: "Let's escape!"
Director Zhen cried out twice, exasperated: "What about me?"
The elevator descended, blocking the elevator shaft entrance on the fifth floor. Enraged, the pursuers fired several shots at the elevator. The commander arrived from behind, glanced at it, and said, "Take the stairs."
"yes!"
Da da da da—
Footsteps echoed through the dark corridor, bullets whizzed incessantly, and Tong Su, using the glaring red alarm light, quietly activated her X-ray vision:
Above, dead mercenaries rushed down the stairs from all directions, their bodies covered with weapons and their faces fierce.
Underground, reinforcements rushed up with their guns after receiving the alarm.
The reinforcements arrived quickly, but they were too close to the mercenaries!
