Hearing the captain’s words seed to invigorate Duo Lin, who smiled at the captain before walking out of the warehouse that had been converted into an office. No sooner had he stepped out than he bumped into a black man coming towards him.
"Lance, are you going in?"
"Yes, I’m starving!"
The black man briefly replied to Duo Lin and then rushed into the warehouse.
"I haven’t finished speaking, I need to remind you that there’s nothing left to eat inside..."
Duo Lin hurriedly called out to Lance’s retreating figure, but he wasn’t sure if the other man had heard him. He dashed into the warehouse, and the next second, he heard the captain greeting him.
"Hey, Lance!"
"Captain? Why are you here... No, no! I desperately need food! Food! Food!"
The black man nad Lance shouted loudly, followed by a caution from the captain. Soon after, Lance, who had just entered, let out a roar, from which one could tell that he was in dire need of food. Shortly thereafter, Duo Lin saw him rushing out again frantically.
Having lived closely with him for so long, Duo Lin understood him well. The guy was a fitness fanatic; it was a must for him to do two hundred pull-ups every day. He treated protein powder like food, which made his physique much more exaggerated compared to other teammates.
Similarly, this daily routine made Lance’s demand for food much higher than others. With the supplies gone, it was likely that Lance consud a large part.
To describe how crazed he was about fitness, it must be said that even in situations of food shortage, he would continue, even if it ultimately led him to starve to death from exhaustion!
"Hey!"
Seeing Lance coming out again, Duo Lin quickly greeted him, wanting to stop him to ntion what the captain had just said.
However, the other man completely ignored him, jogging toward the door. As he passed by, he only said, "I’m going crazy now, we can talk later."
Before he had finished speaking, Lance ran out the door, leaving Duo Lin feeling helpless.
"Well, I guess I’ll leave you till last," Duo Lin muttered to himself, then headed towards the second floor to inform the other teammates about the action plan for tonight.
But just as he took a step, a very strange noise emanated from outside the City Hall. With years of military experience, he imdiately sensed a hint of danger!
He sharply turned his head towards the door, only to see Lance standing on the steps, stunned, with his arms slightly raised.
"Lance?"
He shouted the na of the black man, but received no response. At that mont, his heart leapt up sharply, the sense of danger intensifying. Since joining the army, he had been through nurous battles in the Middle East. Not to ntion his post-enlistnt experiences, even before he enlisted, he had countless shootouts with Bennett’s gang holding an MA4!
After all these experiences, the fact that he was still standing here could be considered divine favor. But at this mont, he felt a sense of danger surpassing any battle he had previously encountered. His muscles tensed instantly, warily watching Lance’s figure from behind. His right hand already reached toward his waist, gripping the handle of his gun, ready to draw and shoot at any mont!
"Who’s out there? Co out!"
He yelled in English. As he spoke, the figure of Lance at the doorway suddenly fell backwards. In front of Lance stood an exceedingly inhuman-looking and enchanting Asian youth, holding a nearly two-ter-long sword, seemingly a Japanese katana. Duo Lin also favored such weapons, but upon closer inspection, he realized this was not the traditional curved katana he knew; the sword in the youth’s hand was straight and had a wide, heavy blade, the dark red color of the blade chilling!
The mont Lance fell, Duo Lin’s eyes imdiately clashed with those of the youth. The youth slowly retracted his long sword and slamd it heavily into the ground, imdiately cracking the tiles beneath with splintering debris!
Dragging the sword longer than his own height, the youth walked, each step he took left a sharp, straight scratch on the ground, as if soone had machined it.
"Stop! Or I’ll shoot!" Duo Lin quickly raised his gun, pointing its dark muzzle at the youth. But the next second, Duo Lin froze. The youth did not stop walking despite Duo Lin’s orders or the gun pointed at his head, taking step by step calmly moving forward!
"Don’t co closer! Stop! I order you to stop! Do you hear ?! Damn!"
The aura emanating from the youth almost suffocated Duo Lin, who felt like he was facing not a man, but a wild beast much larger than himself!
"Don’t co closer!"
After several deep breaths, Duo Lin was still unable to calm his extrely distressed mindset. In a panic, he glanced at Lance’s body and seed to notice a bloody hole on the neck of the corpse, which led him to question: "How did Lance die?"
Lance’s cause of death seed clear right in front of him, but what truly puzzled Duo Lin was not just this; it was what Lance had experienced before his death. Although Lance had joined the army much later than him, he was still an unquestionable veteran, who wouldn’t be killed without any reaction even when facing a semi-chanical infantry company!
Just monts ago, he hadn’t heard Lance make any sound, not even a scream. Most inconceivably, the weapon that killed him wasn’t a gun, but a primitive lee weapon!
However, despite being a lee weapon, wasn’t its sharpness too exaggerated? Cutting through the ground as if slicing through tofu, effortlessly parting it.
"Don’t co closer, I’m warning you not to co closer, or I’ll shoot you imdiately!"
After a while, no longer able to bear the psychological pressure, Duo Lin began to retreat. His voice caught the attention of the warehouse captain, who quickly ran out and saw the youth with the sword steadily pressing towards Duo Lin, step by step!
"Who are you?"
The captain symbolically asked, but the next second he raised his assault rifle and aid it at the young man. However, their threat had no effect; the young man continued to advance step by step!
Perhaps the captain’s arrival relieved so of Duo Lin’s tension. After issuing another warning and seeing Tang Ye still not stopping, he finally pulled the trigger!
Bang!
