Returning along the original route, the traps didn't work, as if they only worked when entering. Youyou quickly returned to the secret room. She had only followed Lu Beixiao and the others after hearing them talk about where the antidote was. She came alone without any soldiers, quietly, and couldn't be too high-profile, otherwise—
Just as she was thinking, she suddenly stopped and saw against the light that at the entrance of the basement, there were tall and strong mercenaries in full armor staring at her fiercely.
She subconsciously drew the pistol from her waist to defend herself, but then she heard one of them say, "Little Princess of Country T, I'm sorry!"
However, bullets flew towards her. Youyou, who was originally standing there, quickly moved a few steps, lay down like a ball, and rolled towards the corner agilely. Bullets came towards her as she rolled on the ground. She dodged to the wall, stood up quickly, and ran towards the secret room.
The mercenaries saw her running away and quickly caught up with her.
"This little girl is so cunning!" exclaimed the mercenary chasing her.
"The little princess of Country T, you're not nicknamed the little fox for nothing!"
Youyou ran to the door of the first level of the secret room in one breath. The mercenaries soon caught up with her. She simply opened the door of the secret room and walked forward, with hidden arrows shooting at her!
Having passed the level once, she was already familiar with it. With a series of actions such as bending, jumping, and turning sideways, she easily avoided the hidden arrows. Two of the six mercenaries fell. Youyou continued to run forward and they continued to chase her.
When she reached the second level, she did the same thing. The mercenaries chased her while shooting at the fake mercenary images. Youyou screamed and fell down. The remaining two mercenaries immediately rushed forward to kill her!
——
The twenty people who came before all died in the first three levels. There was not a single corpse in the secret room passage of the fourth level. It was clean and quiet.
Lu Beixiao stood outside the door and looked inside through the tempered glass. The walls were as smooth as a mirror and there was no sign of any mechanisms or traps.
He cautiously donned his chemical protective suit and gas mask and walked in. His gas detector didn't sound any alarms. Dressed in a white chemical protective suit and gas mask, clutching a black pistol in both hands, he took a defensive stance, moving forward step by step with full concentration, his eyes and ears alert.
Even though he is already a veteran in his 30s, with a lot of old injuries and a shrapnel still stuck in the gap between his right shoulder blades, his physical fitness can still be maintained at the level of when he was in his 20s due to his abnormally strict training. Coupled with years of actual combat experience, his overall quality is still the best in the entire special forces!
When he was about to reach the door at the end, he felt movement on the wall behind him. He turned quickly and aimed the gun in his hand.
"I'm curious about who is the lucky guy who sees this video!" The voice of Scorpion sounded. Lu Beixiao took off his gas mask and looked at the Scorpion video on the wall.
He was sitting in a wheelchair, holding a cigar in his hand and smiling sinisterly.
Lu Beixiao raised the corner of his mouth in sarcasm, facing the image of the poisonous scorpion, thinking about himself who was in the eighteenth level of hell, he never thought that he, Lu Beixiao, would have the chance to see this video!
"You unlucky guy, believe me, don't go any further, because there is only one way out, and that is death!" The Scorpion in the video said again, and raised his red wine glass to toast the camera.
"Poison Scorpion, rest in peace in the eighteen levels of hell!" Lu Beixiao said coldly. The image of the poisonous scorpion on the wall disappeared, and he continued to move forward.
Just as he was about to open the door, he heard hurried footsteps. He turned again and aimed his gun.
"It's me!" Youyou said loudly, holding on to the wall.
She covered her left upper arm with her black-gloved hand, as if she was injured!
Youyou strode towards him, "I have to go with you. There are people chasing me outside, and I led them into the secret passage, and a lot of them died!"
Just now, she fell down on purpose to lure the two mercenaries. When they were about to approach her, they were shot by bullets from the mechanism and all died. She heard the voices of their companions from the mercenaries' intercoms. They were waiting for their triumphant return up there, so it would be very dangerous for her to go out!
The 22-year-old girl stood in front of Lu Beixiao with a fearless look on her face and a heroic look between her brows. She was completely different from the impression he had of Tang Shaoting's girlfriend who was just a decorative vase.
Lu Beixiao didn't say anything, opened the door and went out, and Youyou followed.
When they reached a safe area, Lu Beixiao took out a roll of gauze from his backpack and threw it to her without asking who was chasing her. She was a royal princess, and it was normal for her to fight for power.
The gauze was very long. She held the roll of gauze in her mouth and wrapped the other end around her left upper arm with her right hand. She was not shot, but the bullet just grazed her and a piece of flesh was lost.
She bandaged herself with great training, like a professional soldier!
In front of outsiders, Youyou speaks very little, is cold, calm and mature, unlike when she is in front of Tang Shaoting, where she has a completely different face. That is also her true appearance.
Lu Beixiao didn't help at all, but at the end, he helped her cut the gauze with a saber.
"Lieutenant Colonel Lu, I will try my best not to hold you back!" Youyou, dressed in camouflage, a black vest, a camouflage hat, and black gloves on her hands, looked at Lu Beixiao and said firmly.
"Listen carefully, it's not too late to leave now. The last level is the storage room. Scorpion said in the video just now that it's a dead end. He will definitely not let outsiders take K2's 'heart' easily. There must be a bigger ambush! You have a greater chance of escaping alive by finding other exits!" Lu Beixiao said in a deep voice.
Youyou shook her head, "They must have followed us in. There's no other way out! I was ready to die before coming here! If it weren't for him, I would have died six years ago! Let's go!"
She said fearlessly.
However, deep down she certainly didn't want to die. She wanted to get the antidote, cure Tang Shaoting, continue to flirt with him, wait for him to fall in love with her, then marry him and give birth to a football team of kids!
Lu Beixiao did not try to persuade her anymore. He was never a chatterbox. Wearing a white chemical protective suit, he gave the gas mask to Youyou just in case.
There was no poisonous gas or mechanism in the storage room. It looked like an ordinary laboratory. The freezer was opened, and a puff of cold air came out. Inside were layers of test tubes, all of which were labeled with numbers.
Lu Beixiao and Youyou were looking for Tang Shaoting's antidote respectively. The old scientist said, the number is: K2-C.
Youyou found the tube in her freezer. Lu Beixiao took out the small refrigerator he had prepared in advance from his backpack and put the test tube in it!
"You unlucky bastard! I told you there's only one way to go, and I wasn't lying to you! This place will explode in thirty seconds, and the door is now automatically locked. Dare you touch K2's heart? Go to hell!" The voice of Scorpion sounded again. It was a recording of him before his death. Almost at the same time, Lu Beixiao rushed to the door, and sure enough, the door was locked!
There was no exit except that door. The ticking sound of a clock sounded, as if it was counting down...
