BC Chapter 192

The dark stairwell was only illuminated by faint light from the ventilation window, but the weak light source not only failed to make things clearer but also disrupted the eyes’ ability to adjust to the dark.

The sounds of fierce fighting echoed in the stairwell. Figures darted about. If Lu Ziming hadn’t been prescient enough to take the lead, opening the stairwell fire door the two were trying to escape through, and immediately slammed the fire door shut behind Yao Jinglin upon discovering the ambush, this chaotic battle wouldn’t have been so easy to handle. After all, with insufficient light and a narrow space, they might have accidentally harmed each other while fighting together.

But now, she was sure that everyone in this space except herself was an enemy. Naturally, she didn’t hold back. With her speed maxed out, her arms seemed to leave behind streaks of dark gray afterimages as they moved. In about thirty seconds, several people were sprawled haphazardly on the stair landing and steps.

Lu Ziming exhaled, tucked the silencer-equipped pistol she had just snatched from one of them into her belt at the small of her back, and immediately opened the fire door behind her, returning to the corridor where Yao Jinglin was.

Although Yao Jinglin didn’t have a body modified by the mutated virus like Lu Ziming and Xu Rubing, her original skills were comparable to He Linglong’s when she first appeared. Otherwise, the higher-ups wouldn’t have had her lead the team in the initial charge.

After being pushed by Lu Ziming and left behind the fire door, she immediately understood Lu Ziming’s intention. After trying to turn the fire door handle once without success, she gave up and instead stood by the door, looking towards the temporary apartment.

At this moment, another group of men in black, who had been hiding behind the door for a long time, also rushed out of Lu Ziming’s apartment. Clearly, they were prepared and intended to surround the two of them.

Seeing that the person left behind wasn’t their target, the men rushed forward without hesitation – just a woman. This mission was really easy.

A cold light flashed, and a sharp blade fell, only to be kicked in the wrist by the woman’s high kick. The long steel knife flew out of his hand, smashing against the wall with a clang. However, the woman’s long leg didn’t retract. Twisting her waist and swinging her arm, with her hip leading her leg, she unleashed a long whip kick straight at the black-clothed man’s head.

A muffled thud was amplified by the emptiness of the corridor. The man crashed heavily into the wall.

For the black-clothed men who had taken the initiative to attack, the long corridor was clearly not a favorable space. The formation that was supposed to be an encirclement was compressed into a line by the space. The overwhelming advantage of encirclement directly collapsed into a rotation battle. However, for low-level mutants who had survived general training, their skills were not to be underestimated.

The second man who appeared after the one who had been smashed against the wall was obviously much smarter. Seeing that the opponent’s leg attack had a long range and he had no weapon in his hand, he copied the woman and raised his leg to meet it.

The force collided in the air, making a whooshing sound as clothes rubbed against the air. The sounds of the two legs colliding were also incessant.

The frontal confrontation between the two seemed to be evenly matched, but in reality, Yao Jinglin was more concerned about the remaining people behind the second man.

Fists crossed and legs flashed. Just as the second man was bending backward to dodge Yao Jinglin’s attack, the third man finally found an opening and quickly grabbed Yao Jinglin’s kicking ankle, pulling her back with force and throwing her with momentum.

“Bang!” Caught off guard by the sneak attack, Yao Jinglin only had time to forcibly twist her body before her entire upper body slammed solidly into the wall. The intense vibration transmitted through her back caused a temporary paralysis as if her entire internal organs had been dislocated.

“Cough, cough.” An uncontrollable coughing sound came from her mouth. Before she could recover, Yao Jinglin shrank to the ground and rolled away, finally escaping the attack range of the second and third men. Crouching on the ground, she turned her head to look back at them. As expected, the two men didn’t give her time to breathe, and seeing that Yao Jinglin was about to escape the range of frontal attack, they rushed over at the same time.

However, Yao Jinglin’s entire focus was on the two men in front of her, and she didn’t notice that behind her, the first man, who had just been knocked unconscious by her, was quietly getting up and taking a black pistol out of his pocket, reaching it towards Yao Jinglin’s back.

But before he could make his next move, a figure appeared beside him like a ghost. The corner of his eye even reflected the opponent’s body, but before he could even look up at the person’s face, he was slapped so hard that his body slid backward, the pistol in his hand falling to the ground and bouncing away. Then, the man completely lost consciousness and made no sound.

“Dare to touch her, you’re all courting death.” A low female voice came from Yao Jinglin’s diagonal rear. Yao Jinglin’s pupils trembled, her stern expression relaxed in a second, and when she looked at the people in front of her again, she had a playful expression on her face – I wonder how many breaths you can last under my girlfriend’s hands, I’m quite curious, hey.
