951: Faceted Light (24) 951: Faceted Light (24) “It looks like we know where to start first,”
During the gaze exchange, Masked Man was the first to speak, not agitated but delighted.
It had to be said that the development of the matter was excessively smooth.
Especially if the last team member, the Fierce Man, hadn’t been killed in the gunfire just now.
“We need to hurry,”
And regarding his suggestion, the team members obviously had no objections.
As they talked, Red Dragon took the lead, his Blade Spear even being drawn for the first time, revealing its ferociously designed complete form.
Bang!
Then, the moment they turned the first corner, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, his head ducking.
Gravel sprayed as a bullet whizzed past his ear, crashing into the wall behind him and creating a crater.
“It’s us,”
Suddenly faced with danger, Red Dragon still managed to keep calm, shouting out immediately.
“Move quickly!”
Instead of a second shot, there came a counter-yell, and in the blink of an eye, a figure charged up to them.
It was indeed the last team member, the Fierce Man.
Except at this moment, he appeared quite disheveled.
Aside from the fluorescent spots on his body, the most eye-catching thing was the horrible bloodstain at his waist; at first glance, the flesh looked mangled.
“Retreat first; that side is too dangerous!”
Having rushed closer, the Fierce Man finally noticed the four people following behind him, and after a visible sign of relief, he immediately signaled the team to fall back.
Considering the still-bleeding evidence at his waist, nobody questioned him, and they went with the flow.
…
“No one is following us.”
Not long after, Qing, responsible for keeping watch, came back and signaled that everyone could take a brief rest.
The six-person team, now regrouped, was currently in a place styled like an office.
The door was naturally opened by the technician, Fu Qian, while Red Dragon, taking over her duties, was now hiding behind the door, on alert.
The office wasn’t large and didn’t have much in it; the injured Fierce Man was using a first-aid kit found by Lady Star to stop the bleeding of his wound himself.
“So you’re saying that there was a fully armed team over there that allows no one to approach?”
Masked Man, sitting on the side, seemed contemplative due to the news brought by the Fierce Man.
“Yes, their number might not be too many, but they are well-trained and the firepower is exaggerated,”
Gasping from the pain, the Fierce Man’s tone was quite certain.
“We didn’t find out their purpose, but their aggressiveness is undoubtedly very strong, firing upon sight without any communication.”
“Such a thing actually happened,”
Qing also furrowed her brows upon hearing this.
Considering the Fierce Man’s previous performance, he did not seem overly reliable, but the wounds on his body now lent him considerable credibility.
Although there was no bullet left inside, the gunshot wound was easy to identify.
“That’s your gun?”
At this time, Masked Man was focusing on another issue, looking at the weapon placed on the table by the Fierce Man.
“I took it,”
The Fierce Man’s explanation was straightforward and commanding; as he spoke, he even flashed his shirt, revealing another gun underneath.
Taken? That’s pretty brazen!
For a moment, even Red Dragon couldn’t help but turn back to look up to him.
“I’m sorry about earlier…”
Facing his gaze, the Fierce Man pondered for a moment and unexpectedly, contrary to his usual demeanor, apologized seriously.
After a slight hesitation, he even picked up the weapon from the table and threw it to Red Dragon.
“You know how to use this?”
“I do,”
Red Dragon, not expecting the Fierce Man to give up his weapon so readily, caught it and checked the ammunition.
“Good, I still have some bullets left, I’ll give them to you later,”
The Fierce Man continued talking while finally finishing treating his wound, breathing a long sigh of relief as he slumped into his seat.
It had to be said, his actions were quite generous, seemingly an apology for almost accidentally shooting him earlier.
