What aunt? They are obviously sisters.

Chapter 318 Survival from desperate situation

Li Ming, Ayako and Qianying quickly headed to the old temple in Beishan with the information provided by Yingsi.

On top of the North Mountain, the complex of buildings that have been abandoned for many years looks like a ghost place forgotten by time.

The dense woods around are like silent guards. When the cold wind blows, the leaves rustle and roll up the dead leaves on the ground, as if telling an ancient story.

There was a smell of decay in the air that made people shudder.

Li Ming stood in front of the temple, his figure looking particularly resolute in the dim light.

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, scanning the surrounding environment.

He was wearing a black combat uniform, with a sharp dagger and a pistol on his waist, and he exuded a cold aura.

"Whether it is a trap or not, we have to go in. The Masonic experimental base may hide deeper secrets, and we can't let it go." Li Ming's voice was low and firm, as if he was issuing an order that could not be disobeyed.

Ayako stood aside, holding the dagger tightly in her hand, with a hint of vigilance in her eyes. She was wearing a tight combat uniform that outlined her figure perfectly. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail, which looked neat and tidy.

"There's something wrong with this place." Ayako said with a frown, "It's too quiet, not even a bird's singing." There was a hint of uneasiness in her voice, as if she had sensed the impending danger.

Qianying stood a little further away, her eyes calm and composed. She was wearing a white combat uniform, holding a high-tech weapon in her hand, and exuding a mysterious aura.

"This is a trap." Qianying analyzed calmly, "Yingsi will not reveal a real base so easily. He may deliberately lead us here to delay time." There was no emotion in her voice, as if she was stating an objective fact.

The three of them split up, Li Ming entered from the main gate, while Ayako and Qianying went around from both sides. The temple was dark, and the air was filled with the smell of decay. Li Ming raised a flashlight, and the beam of light passed through the broken walls and dilapidated Buddha statues. The ground was covered with dust, but messy footprints could be vaguely seen.

"Someone has been here." Li Ming whispered, his voice was particularly clear in the silent temple. He clenched the dagger in his hand, and a hint of vigilance was revealed in his eyes.

Suddenly, he heard a slight "tick-tick" sound, like the operation of a mechanical device. He turned around quickly, but saw nothing. His heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and he knew that there must be some danger hidden here.

At the same time, Ayako and Qianying also discovered something unusual. There were secret passages on both sides of the temple, one of which was blocked by a sealed iron door, and the other led underground.

At the same time, Ayako and Qianying also discovered something unusual. There were secret passages on both sides of the temple, one of which was blocked by a sealed iron door, and the other led underground.

"Chiying, I have a passage leading underground here." Ayako whispered through the communicator, with a hint of nervousness in her voice.

"Continue investigating. I found an iron door here, but it cannot be opened for the time being." Qianying replied, without a trace of emotion in her voice. At the same time, she attached a sensor device to the door, trying to crack the electronic lock.

Ayako walked down the stairs carefully. The air in the basement was even colder, and rusty chains and tools were hung on the walls. As soon as she entered the room, she heard light footsteps behind her.

"Who's there?" Ayako turned around suddenly, but saw only an empty corridor. Her fingers clasped the hilt of the dagger, and her heartbeat began to accelerate. This invisible sense of oppression made her realize that this was not just an abandoned temple, but a carefully arranged hunting ground.

On the other side, Qianying successfully cracked the lock of the iron door. The moment the door opened, she felt a chill. Inside was a laboratory. The walls were covered with various data tables, and the central operating table was filled with experimental instruments and some blood stains that had not been cleaned up.

"It's really an experimental base." Qianying whispered, with a hint of surprise in her voice. She used the device in her hand to scan the equipment in the room. A set of vague coordinates appeared on the screen, and she quickly recorded the data.

However, before she could analyze it further, she heard footsteps behind her. Qianying turned around quickly and saw an armed man in a black uniform pointing a gun at her.

"Found the target." The other party said in the headset, and then pulled the trigger. Qianying dodged nimbly, rolled behind the experimental table, and pulled out a dagger to fight back. A fierce battle unfolded in the small space.

Qianying's movements were as fast as lightning. Her dagger flashed cold light in the air and stabbed the enemy's vital points accurately. The enemy was not to be outdone. Their gun skills were accurate and they kept shooting at Qianying.

"Hmph, do you think you can catch me so easily?" Qianying sneered, with a hint of disdain in her eyes.

Li Ming was also in trouble at this time. There seemed to be a group of ambushing enemies hidden in the depths of the temple, and they poured out from all directions and surrounded him.

"Finally they showed up." Li Ming sneered and threw his fists at them without hesitation. His movements were swift and fierce, like an angry beast, and he quickly knocked down several enemies. However, the number of the opponents seemed to be endless, like an organized siege.

Li Ming's fists were as hard as steel, and each punch could send the enemy flying several meters away. There was a hint of anger in his eyes, as if he was seeking revenge for those who were harmed by the Freemasons.

"Qianying, Ayako, how are things over there?" Li Ming shouted through the communicator.

"A laboratory was found in the basement, but there are enemies." Qianying's voice was filled with rapid breathing.

"I'm surrounded too." Ayako replied, her voice calm, "It seems the enemy has already ambushed me."

Li Ming calmed down and quickly formulated an evacuation plan: "Qianying, find the exit, we need to leave here immediately."

"Understood," Chikage replied, while continuing to engage the enemy.

Li Ming kicked the last enemy hard and quickly retreated outside the temple. At this time, Qianying had cracked a secret door in the laboratory, leading to a secret underground passage.

"Hurry, there is a way here!" Qianying called Ayako and Li Ming through the communicator.

The three of them quickly gathered and entered the underground passage. The passage was long and dark, the ground was slippery, and the sound of water dripping could be heard faintly. They ran all the way and finally found an iron door at the end. "I'll unlock it." Qianying took out the tools and began to crack the door lock. At this moment, hurried footsteps came from the passage behind them, and the enemy was chasing them. Li Ming and Ayako quickly set up a defense line and used the weapons in their hands to block the pursuers.

"Hurry up!" Li Ming urged Qianying while fighting back.

"The lock is very complicated and takes time!" Qianying gritted her teeth and her hands moved faster and faster.

After a few minutes, the lock was finally unlocked and the iron gate slowly opened. The three of them quickly passed through the iron gate and locked it again, blocking the pursuit.

They came to a deserted mining area with complex terrain, which was suitable for hiding. Ayako quickly checked the injuries of the three people, and after confirming that they were not in danger of life, she began to sort out the information.

"These experimental data are too complicated." Qianying flipped through the experimental records, "More professional equipment is needed to interpret them."

"The most important thing is that set of coordinates." Li Ming pointed at Qianying's scanning equipment, "Yingsi did not lie, but this is only the periphery. What he really wants to conceal is still deeper."

Ayako nodded: "This means that we are getting closer and closer to our goal."

"But it also means that there will be more dangers in the future." Li Ming said coldly, "We need to replenish our equipment and find a way to interpret this intelligence."

"Chiying, I have a passage leading underground here." Ayako whispered through the communicator, with a hint of nervousness in her voice.

"Continue investigating. I found an iron door here, but it cannot be opened for the time being." Qianying replied, without a trace of emotion in her voice. At the same time, she attached a sensor device to the door, trying to crack the electronic lock.

Ayako's breathing became rapid, and she looked around, trying to find the figure hiding in the darkness. Various possible dangerous situations kept appearing in her mind, and she was filled with anxiety.

On the other side, Qianying successfully cracked the lock of the iron door. The moment the door opened, she felt a chill. Inside was a laboratory. The walls were covered with various data tables, and the central operating table was filled with experimental instruments and some blood stains that had not been cleaned up.

"Hmph, do you think you can catch me so easily?" Qianying sneered, with a hint of disdain in her eyes.

Qianying flexibly shuttled between the experimental tables, using various obstacles to avoid the enemy's attacks. Her eyes were calm and focused, constantly looking for the enemy's flaws.

Li Ming was also in trouble at this time. There seemed to be a group of ambushing enemies hidden in the depths of the temple, and they poured out from all directions and surrounded him.

"Finally they showed up." Li Ming sneered and threw his fists at them without hesitation. His movements were swift and fierce, like an angry beast, and he quickly knocked down several enemies. However, the number of the opponents seemed to be endless, like an organized siege.

"Hurry, there is a way here!" Qianying called Ayako and Li Ming through the communicator.

The three of them quickly gathered and entered the underground passage. The passage was long and narrow and dark, the ground was slippery, and the sound of water dripping could be heard faintly. They ran all the way and finally found an iron door at the end.

"I'll open the lock." Qianying took out the tools and started to crack the door lock. At this moment, hurried footsteps came from the passage behind him, and the enemy was chasing them. Li Ming and Lingzi quickly set up a defense line and used their weapons to block the pursuers.

"Hurry up!" Li Ming urged Qianying while fighting back.

"The lock is very complicated and takes time!" Qianying gritted her teeth and her hands moved faster and faster.

After a few minutes, the lock was finally unlocked and the iron gate slowly opened. The three of them quickly passed through the iron gate and locked it again, blocking the pursuit.

"But it also means that there will be more dangers in the future." Li Ming said coldly, "We need to replenish our equipment and find a way to interpret this intelligence."

The three of them moved forward cautiously in the mine area, their eyes full of vigilance. The air in the mine area was filled with dust and decay, which made people feel depressed.

Li Ming stopped and carefully observed the surrounding environment. His eyes revealed a trace of contemplation, as if he was thinking about the next action plan.

"We can't stay here for too long." Li Ming said, "The enemy is likely to find us."

Ayako and Qianying nodded, they knew that Li Ming was right.

They must find a safe place as quickly as possible, replenish their equipment, interpret intelligence, and prepare for the next step of action.

The three continued to move forward, and their figures gradually disappeared in the mining area, leaving behind a silence and mystery. (End of this chapter)
