It took a full three minutes before the gunfire finally ceased.
The entire open area fell silent instantly, with dozens of people lying on the ground, creating a particularly eerie scene.
The Experintal Subjects, however, were sprawled out in the blood, so still twitching slightly, but not far from death.
After a few more seconds, the Niepan mbers, still in a prone position, slowly began to lift their heads in a daze.
“Are they done shooting?”
“Looks like they really are…”
“Didn’t they just change their guns?”
“So, does that an they ran out of bullets?”
The mbers cautiously looked around, and seeing that it really had quieted down, they showed a hint of relief, grateful to have survived.
It was really too dangerous just now…
Trapped in this corner with no cover around and bullets seemingly honed in on them…
If the opponents hadn’t spared them, how many of them would still be standing now?
Speaking of which, if they hadn’t followed orders from above, they wouldn’t have co together and walked right into the fire pit.
The expressions of so instantly beca complicated, and soone in the crowd asked in a low voice, “Does anyone know what happened tonight?”
“No idea, but I saw the Deputy Team Leader of the Experintal Group. Could it be a defection?” soone replied.
“Defection? Possible. There must be insiders, wasn’t there a spy hunt just now? Unfortunately, they didn’t catch anyone, and instead, they let the others escape with a hostage.” The tone was dripping with sarcasm, which made everyone nod continuously in agreent.
“That person was really powerful!”
“Yeah, but was he really ntal ability?”
As soon as Ling Mo was ntioned, the mbers imdiately beca interested.
Although they were on different sides, Ling Mo’s remarkable actions had stirred quite a discussion among them.
Feeling envious, soone said, “If I had soone to coordinate with, I could do that too.”
“You? Forget it! Do you even have the guts for it?” soone next to him laughed heartily.
That person fell silent imdiately. If superpowers were software, then courage would be the hardware.
With dozens of superhumans underfoot and yet managing to remain unfazed while taking soone away, just this courage alone made many bow in admiration.
“Desperado,” soone summarized.
“Nonsense, I think he values his life quite a lot,” imdiately ca a voice of rebuttal.
The first person who spoke let out a couple of cold laughs and said, “Getting into such a ss because of one person…” He glanced towards the school bus and continued, “The response was just too poor.”
“Yeah…”
“We were completely led by the nose.”
“Who wouldn’t agree?”
Outside the crowd, Team Leader Li struggled to stand on his shaking legs, his face twitching uncontrollably.
Listening to these discussions, Team Leader Li’s expression beca sowhat peculiar.
He knew that this matter was far from simple. The number of opponents was unclear, and one tactic followed another.
The only one who stepped up, “Ling Ge,” also displayed formidable strength.
Niepan was caught off guard, and everything they did was used against them, with traps laid out in advance.
This wasn’t just a failure in response; it was a loss in the ga of strategy.
But how could the ordinary mbers think that far? To them, if Niepan failed, it was the leadership’s fault.
As Team Leader Li’s gaze swept toward the barbed wire, a hint of anger inevitably appeared in his eyes.
The Iron Rod Man, who was previously hanging there, was now nowhere to be seen.
Moreover, those who had followed the sunglasses man out of the car were also missing.
“Spit!” Team Leader Li angrily spat on the ground and murmured, “You deserve it if you got caught!”
He clearly rembered that when the gunfire started, that sunglasses man actually hid behind him…
But everyone cares about their own life, especially these days.
It’s already hard enough to survive; who would worry about others?
Just like those ordinary mbers, when they talked about Ling Mo, who thought about the sunglasses man?
So people did make a few comnts, but they were soon drowned out by other voices.
After cursing twice, Team Leader Li’s face gradually returned to normal. Dragging his legs, he slowly walked towards the school bus.
This ss was waiting for soone to step up and clean it up…
“Hah…”
Inside the car, under the worried gaze of the senior managent, the Big Boss finally showed so signs of reaction.
A strange, guttural sound escaped his mouth as his upper body jolted upright before he bent over as if to vomit.
Maintaining this posture, his limbs began to shake as if electrified.
At the sa ti, his head also kept twitching, and he occasionally let out groans of unbearable pain.
“There’s movent!” one of the senior managent exclaid.
However, the expression of this senior mber was also sowhat uncertain. While there was movent, it certainly didn’t look good.
Another person, looking grim, said, “I an… doesn’t it look like the Big Boss is possessed by a ghost?”
As soon as he said this, everyone felt a bit spooked.
Though possession wasn’t likely, it did look quite horrifying…
“It really does…” soone else nodded in agreent.
“What the heck! Where’s the person you’re supposed to find?” the Experintal Group Team Leader shouted impatiently.
Seeing no one responded, he yelled hysterically, “Didn’t I say to get soone to take a look at him! Also, any word from the pursuit team? Send more people out there!”
As he said this, his lips twitched nervously, and he continued to shout, “We absolutely cannot let them leave the dical University! Absolutely not!”
Soone could hardly resist the urge to remind the Team Leader that it was night, the Patrol Team was clearly done for, and sending more people out might not necessarily stop them…
But seeing his bloodshot eyes, everyone wisely chose to remain silent.
Only a guard poked his head in through the door, and replied reluctantly, “We already went to find a mber with ntal ability…”
Just then, the Big Boss twitched a couple more tis and suddenly managed to speak with difficulty, “No need…”
“Hmm?”
A senior managent mber was taken aback, imdiately turning around to wave at the guard.
The guard, who hadn’t actually seen where the Big Boss was seated, glanced around in confusion before reaching to close the car door.
Another mber of the senior managent quickly handed over a glass of water, asking with concern, “Big Boss, are you alright now? What happened just now?”
“The situation was too chaotic; we couldn’t even get soone over here,” the Experintal Group Team Leader whispered, his lips trembling slightly.
The Big Boss seed oblivious, remaining silent for about ten seconds before he slowly and deliberately asked, “Enough about . Tell … what’s the situation outside?”
“No significant casualties, but one person was captured, and…” The person answering glanced at the Experintal Group Team Leader, whose face had turned extrely grim.
After hesitating for a mont, he continued, “The Deputy Team Leader of the Experintal Group and his daughter… seem to have escaped.”
“Crack!”
The plastic cup in the Big Boss’s hand instantly made a crisp sound, and the clear mineral water flowed from his fist onto the ground.
His body began to tremble again, but this ti it was clearly out of anger.
“We suspect… that soone infiltrated the headquarters and made contact with Deputy Team Leader Lan. This would also explain why the zombies from the Experintal Group suddenly escaped. It’s possible that the experintal subjects in Building No. 3 were also tampered with beforehand…” the Experintal Group Team Leader hurriedly added.
“Suspect?” the Big Boss repeated coldly, still looking down.
“Yes… but this is the most reasonable hypothesis…” The Team Leader glanced at the other senior managent mbers as he spoke.
They pondered briefly before also speaking, “It makes sense…”
“Otherwise, it’s all too fishy.”
“Exactly…”
“Shut up, all of you!” the Big Boss suddenly growled.
At this outburst, the car instantly fell into complete silence.
The senior managent mbers looked at the Big Boss in fearful silence, while the Experintal Group Team Leader turned pale with fright.
“There it is, the old Big Boss…”
This nacing way of speaking, and the ferocious tone, were exactly how the Experintal Group Team Leader rembered the Big Boss from their first eting!
Back then, he was both ruthless and cunning!
But after Niepan had gotten on track, the Big Boss’s style had suddenly changed.
He beca reclusive, his emotions no longer visible…
Yet the Experintal Group Team Leader had never forgotten the true nature of this Big Boss.
That’s why his reaction was so intense! Not just because of the Big Boss’s authority, but because his own life was on the line!
Tonight’s fire started in his Experintal Group, and thinking he wouldn’t have to bear any responsibility was sothing even the Team Leader couldn’t believe.
But how much responsibility he should bear and at what cost was entirely up to the Big Boss.
Knowing that his life and death were in the hands of this man-a ruthless individual who wouldn’t hesitate to kill-was enough to keep the Experintal Group Team Leader from collapsing on the spot. It already demonstrated his strong psychological resilience!
Feeling frantic was understandable; he wished he could escape imdiately!
Especially now, seeing the Big Boss’s fury, the Experintal Group Team Leader’s legs felt like jelly.
The others didn’t share his deep-seated fear; their thoughts were surprisingly on a different matter.
The Big Boss’s voice seed sowhat odd…
He had suddenly frozen, then recovered, but now he spoke with his head lowered and his tongue appeared nearly uncooperative.
Could it be… aftereffects from earlier?
“I don’t want to hear any guesses… I want results!”
The Big Boss clenched the shattered cup in his hand, saying, “I don’t care what thods you use, get those people back to . Not just Deputy Team Leader Lan, but also that guy with the sunglasses…”
After he finished speaking, he gently released his hand.
The completely deford cup fell from his trembling fingers, landing on the ground with a soft “plop.”
Just then, the Experintal Group Team Leader caught a glimpse of the Big Boss’s eyes.
But as soon as he saw them, the Big Boss had already closed his eyes and leaned back against the sofa.
“Maybe… I saw it wrong?” the Team Leader thought.
