There was another group inside the Holy Temple Hospital. They were clearly numerous and powerful, and were very likely also there to find the medicine.

The two sides clashed head-on. A burst of rude and angry curses rang out, and the group opened fire on them without hesitation.

Fortunately, all four reacted quickly enough to roll to the sides and dodge at the critical moment.

Mu Qiuzhu burst through the door of the emergency room, grabbed her sister, and rushed inside, while Yin Canglang hid behind a medicine cart in the corner.

Flashes of light continued to streak across the room, bullets flew incessantly, and the sound of footsteps grew louder as the enemy approached from the other end of the corridor.

Yin Canglang took two glass bottles from the cart, threw them forcefully, and the bottles hit the wall. The crisp sound of shattering temporarily affected the other party's judgment, and then another round of gunfire rang out.

Taking advantage of the opening, she decisively drew her gun and, relying solely on her hearing in the dim light, shot down the two men instantly.

On the other side, Mu Qiuzhu hid at the entrance of the emergency treatment room, turned on her flashlight, and swung the beam forward at a high frequency.

She was responsible for disrupting them, while Yin Canglang was responsible for killing them. Working together, they quickly eliminated several more people.

"What the fuck!"

The other side seemed wary, and their advance slowed down noticeably. A heated discussion, mixed with local dialect, could be heard.

The next moment, it seemed as if something was thrown at them.

The smoke grenade landed and hissed as it burned, billowing thick gray-white smoke instantly filling the entire corridor and obscuring the view ahead.

The footsteps quickened again, indicating that they intended to finish the job quickly, using the smoke grenades as cover to rush over and eliminate them directly.

Yin Canglang stood up and kicked the medicine cart away. The metal cart crashed onto the corridor floor, and medicine bottles and tools flew everywhere, making a series of loud cracking noises.

She took the opportunity to leave the spot with the Mu sisters, shooting as they retreated toward the stairs on the other side.

……and many more.

She suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Wait, where's Wu Ying?

Realizing the situation was dire, Yin Canglang immediately turned around and was about to turn back, but Mu Qiuxue, who had caught up with him, grabbed his wrist tightly.

"Captain, Wu Ying seems to be showing off her skills."

"What?"

The three of them quickly got the answer, because half of a miniature Uzi submachine gun was visible in the air as the smoke gradually dissipated.

The assassin surnamed Wu had already silently disappeared during the exchange of fire.

She crawled forward, braving the gunfire, and stealthily made her way to the vicinity, blending into the group of thugs, waiting for her chance.

And now, she has finally gotten what she's been waiting for.

She pulled the trigger, retreated to the back of the group, and while they were still focused on attacking Yin Canglang and his two companions, she stepped forward and unleashed a fierce barrage of fire.

Amidst the screams, most of the targets were eliminated on the spot. She strode forward, holding a gun in her left hand and drawing a dagger from her waist with her right, swiftly swinging the blade across her body.

The men blocking the way hadn't even realized who was attacking them before their throats were slit in an instant.

At this moment, the group of thugs who rushed to the front were all dealt with by Yin Canglang and the Mu sisters.

The three looked up and saw Wu Ying slowly emerging from the smoke. She approached slowly, put the dagger back on her waist, and calmly raised her hand in a gesture.

"Don't bother looking, it's right here."

Mu Qiuzhu then realized that she could actually become invisible, and couldn't help but show a hint of amazement.

"That's a really good skill. No wonder your captain wanted to bring you along."

"Yes, as the chief assassin of Black Wind Stronghold, this is basic operation." Wu Ying spoke with the calmest tone but the most imposing words. She turned to Yin Canglang, "Shall we go, Captain Yin? Let's go to the underground level."

"Let's go. These people probably have backup at the hospital. They're better equipped than us, and it'll be troublesome if they find us." Yin Canglang waved his hand expressionlessly. "Our top priority is to find the underground tunnel before they do."

So the four of them took immediate action and continued towards the stairs without stopping.

Mu Qiuxue followed behind and, seeing that Mu Qiuzhu looked disappointed, smiled and gently comforted her.

"It's okay, sis. We were just banned for this game, not every game. It's not a big deal."

"Sigh, I don't feel like I'm in the best condition and can't help the captain."

"The captain wouldn't think that way."

At this moment, Yin Canglang turned around and gave them a sinister glance: "In a gunfight-themed game, would it fit the style of suddenly turning into an umbrella or a sword? You two just need to aim your bullets more accurately."

"……oh."

The terrain of Layton is rather tricky. The fifth block may sound close to the sixth block, but it is actually farther than the fourth block, requiring a long detour by car.

Even worse, some sections of the road were severely damaged by bombing, so even though the off-road vehicle was of good performance, it was still inevitably subjected to a violent bumpy ride.

It's hard to imagine that if they had been driving Yin Canglang's delivery truck, the trio would probably have vomited up all the compressed biscuits and chocolates they had eaten by now, and they would have been exhausted before even reaching their destination.

"Captain, is there really no other route?" Qin Shaoyu, sitting in the back seat, gripped the roof railing tightly, bouncing around like a fish stranded on shore. "Why isn't it showing up on the map?"

"There's no other way, it's the only way." Yi Zanglan jerked the steering wheel and sped off, but his tone remained relatively calm. "Here's what we'll do: you chat with Miss Xun for a bit, so we can all shift our focus and help Miss Xun integrate into our special operations team as soon as possible."

Qin Shaoyu didn't think it was a good idea, but as long as the captain gave the order, he would definitely carry it out strictly.

So, regardless of whether Xun Zhou wanted to chat or not, he boldly spoke up: "Miss Xun, you haven't said a word for so long, aren't you being a bit too reserved? Normally, the person sitting in the passenger seat has an obligation to chat with the driver to prevent the driver from getting sleepy and affecting driving safety."

"I think your captain has a lot of energy, she definitely won't get sleepy," Xun Zhou replied indifferently. "Besides, she might not even want to listen to me chat."

Yi Zanglan nodded: "I'm willing, you can talk, I promise I'll respond to every word."

"..."

Qin Shaoyu sighed, "Look at you, silent again. When we get to Dusk Bar later, we'll most likely have to interact and socialize with those NPCs. Are you going to stay silent too?"

"Since you're so talkative, you're in charge of the social interactions."

"That's fine too. Thank you for your trust. Ladies, please rest assured that I will demonstrate my exceptional communication skills from every angle!"

"..."

This person doesn't seem to understand good or bad words either.

Xun Zhou lowered her eyes and fiddled with her watch. She felt that she should say a few words. After all, as a temporary teammate, she had to show some attitude.

She carefully considered her words: "Don't worry, now that I've been assigned here, I will definitely take the cooperation and mission seriously. I won't desert my post, and I certainly won't do anything outrageous. Otherwise, the captain won't let me off the hook when I get back."

"Captain Yin values ​​you and won't do anything to you."

"...What?"

"I'm saying, it's obvious that Captain Yin values ​​you the most in the Lang Tao Sha team." Yi Zang Lan smiled slightly. "Her attitude towards you is gentler than towards others. I guess you must be her favorite team member. She won't be too harsh on you."

Xun Zhou's expression faltered slightly, then his eyes lit up: "Really? You think so?"

"Of course, please trust my judgment."

"But even if all the team members were combined, it wouldn't compare to what the captain cares about most..."

"Hey, Miss Xun," Yi Canglan casually interrupted her, "Whether you care or not is irrelevant. In short, you are all very important to Captain Yin. Even if she has a bad temper, it doesn't stop her from having deep sincerity, you understand?"

"I understand." Xun Zhou replied decisively. After a long silence, she hesitated for a moment before whispering, "...You don't need to call me Miss Xun, we can call each other by our first names."

"Then let's come up with a very friendly and unique nickname!" Qin Shaoyu suggested enthusiastically. "Your name is Xun Zhou, which means 'searching for a boat'! Nice to meet you, Miss Searching for a Boat!"

"That's outrageous! Giving people random nicknames is so rude!" Yi Zanglan criticized him sternly, then comforted Xun Zhou, "He's always like that, don't take it too seriously, little one."

Xun Zhou: "...Are you two sick?"
