Reaching the top, a door appeared before them. Zhu Yuan's bodyguard quickly pushed the door open, revealing a pitch-black tunnel.
This is a very oppressive passage. Running into it feels like being on the set of a horror movie; you never know if a ghostly hand might suddenly reach out and drag you into the abyss.
Two bodyguards led the way, while Zhu Yuan held Xi Xingxue's hand and led him through the tunnel.
Darkness filled my vision, making it impossible to distinguish between day and night; for a moment, only the sound of footsteps echoed in my ears.
However, at that moment...
"Bang—" Without any warning, a gunshot suddenly rang out in front, and a bodyguard fell to the ground in shock.
"Enemy attack!" A surviving bodyguard quickly stepped in front of them and fired his gun.
All that could be heard was the whistling of bullets, and a figure fell to the ground.
A faint light shone through from ahead, and about four figures emerged from the darkness, firing at them. The surviving bodyguards, after killing one enemy, were also shot and fell.
Zhu Yuan also had a gun, and he quickly fired. Several gunshots rang out, and two people fell to the ground.
Because there was only a sliver of light in the tunnel, one could only discern locations by sound and could not see anything clearly.
The next second, a sharp gust of cold wind swept in, and Xi Xingxue pushed Zhu Yuan to the ground almost without thinking.
The bullet passed overhead and quickly disappeared from sight.
There was only one surviving enemy left ahead. He took two cautious steps forward, his ears twitched, and finally locked onto their position, pulling the trigger.
Because Xi Xingxue had half her body pressed against Zhu Yuan.
So the bullet's trajectory... was towards Xi Xingxue!
Zhu Yuan's body moved faster than his thoughts, immediately dodging to the side and blocking the whistling bullet.
He let out a muffled groan, and blood began to smear across his back.
Hearing the groan, the enemy tried to finish off the attacker, but was struck down by a sudden bullet.
It is Xi Xingxue.
Xi Xingxue was pinned down by Zhu Yuan, her palm holding the gun that he had dropped on the ground. A few wisps of black smoke were rising from the dark muzzle.
In those ten seconds, things happened so fast. First, he tackled Zhu Yuan to the ground, and then Zhu Yuan turned to shield him from the bullet. In that critical moment, Xi Xingxue didn't have time to speak. He picked up the gun on the ground with a clear objective and killed the last enemy.
Zhu Yuan was hit in the back and seriously injured. He looked at Xi Xingxue next to his cheek, his eyes rolled around, and finally closed his eyes.
Xi Xingxue quickly helped him up, put him on her back, and ran wildly towards the end of the tunnel with him.
Someone knows Zhu Yuan's location perfectly well!
Who could it be? Is it Shen Yu?
If Chen Yu wanted Zhu Yuan dead, he could have shot him right there in the building!
Moreover, Shen Yu and his group were also attacked.
Therefore, this enemy must be the common enemy of Shen Yu and Zhu Yuan!
At the end of the tunnel, Zhu Yuan's men were on guard. They had received the news earlier and were preparing to meet Zhu Yuan there.
Hearing gunshots inside, they dared not go in to investigate.
Upon seeing a young boy carrying Zhu Yuan, who was covered in blood, they all turned pale with fright.
"Quick, take him to the hospital!" Xi Xingxue shouted.
The subordinates quickly helped Zhu Yuan into the car. Xi Xingxue was about to get in the car when a sudden alarm sounded in her mind.
System: "We have detected that Shen Yu is in mortal danger. Please proceed to his rescue immediately!"
"Huh?" Xi Xingxue was stunned.
He gave Zhu Yuan in the car a deep look, suppressed an unspeakable emotion, and then rushed back into the tunnel.
Damn it, the system said Zhu Yuan would be in danger, but he never expected that Zhu Yuan would be in danger in order to save him!
Sensing the host's manic mood, the system explained:
"Host, please don't feel guilty. Zhu Yuan's injury is a necessary part of the plot. Even if you hadn't come, it would have happened for another reason. Besides, he's not in any danger."
"Then what about Shen Yu?"
"The butterfly effect means that your arrival has altered some plot details, causing Shen Yu to be in danger. So, as long as you save him, the main plot will not collapse."
When Xi Xingxue returned to the fighting gym from the tunnel, she found the situation there to be extremely bad.
The corpses lay scattered on the ground, the stench of blood assaulting the senses and making one dizzy.
In addition to the ring and spectator stands, the fight gym also has many rooms and corridors.
Gunshots could still be heard intermittently; clearly, they were still engaged in combat.
Following the system's instructions, Xi Xingxue bypassed the corpses and headed straight towards Shen Yu's direction.
Soon, he found Shen Yu.
For some unknown reason, Shen Yu found himself alone with no companions. The enemy had cornered him in a corner of the corridor. They had run out of bullets and were now fighting hand-to-hand.
Shen Yu fought three opponents at once, but he did not lose the battle.
His beautiful, aloof face was now stained with blood, making him even more stunning. However, the ruthlessness emanating from his eyes was like two blades; a slight misstep could result in having a layer of flesh sliced off.
With each punch carrying a gust of wind, he struck the enemy's face, causing the enemy to spit out a mouthful of blood. He then kicked the enemy in the stomach, sending him flying.
The three enemies couldn't defeat him alone; it seemed they would be defeated soon.
However, Xi Xingxue noticed that a black gun barrel was protruding from the cracks in the doors on both sides of the corridor, pointed at Shen Yu in the corner of the corridor.
At this moment, Xi Xingxue was secretly observing the situation from the corner of the corridor, so he was able to see the abnormality in the rooms on both sides of the corridor first.
