Power and wealth bring fragrance

While Zhao Tie was breaking through on one side, the other two were also making their own impressive plays.

The stunningly beautiful woman abruptly stopped thirty meters in front of the main building.

Her nose twitched slightly as she caught a faint, almost imperceptible smell of burning in the air.

It's not gunpowder smoke.

It's the smell of ozone left after an electric arc burns the air.

"The fourth line of defense... the power grid?"

She crouched down and gently touched the ground with her fingertips.

My fingertips were covered with a layer of extremely fine metallic powder.

She brought the powder close to her eyes, her pupils contracting slightly.

"This is not an ordinary power grid."

"It's a high-frequency pulsed arc array."

Her voice was very low, and the playful smile in her eyes finally faded a bit.

She had only ever seen this kind of thing on the top-tier equipment list of international mercenaries.

A three-dimensional electric arc network is formed in a specific area by using a pulse generator buried underground.

As soon as a living being enters the sensing range, electric arcs from all directions will be activated simultaneously, instantly cooking the target.

Moreover, the sensing range of this electric arc array is three-dimensional.

Whether you walk on the ground, jump from the air, or even dig a tunnel underground, entering that three-dimensional space will trigger it.

"No wonder Chen Feng failed at the second line of defense."

The sizzling beauty stood up, dusted off her hands, and a cold smile returned to her lips.

"The first three lines of defense are just an appetizer."

"The real killing blow begins here."

She took a deep breath and removed a palm-sized circular device from her tactical belt.

The surface of the device is covered with a dense array of circuit boards and indicator lights.

"EMP pulse jammer."

"It cost me a fortune to get my hands on this thing."

She gently placed the jammer on the ground and pressed the start button.

"drop."

A soft sound.

The indicator lights on the surface of the jammer lit up instantly, emitting a faint green glow.

next second.

"Buzz!"

A burst of electromagnetic waves, almost invisible to the naked eye, spread out in all directions from the jammer!

Almost simultaneously with the spread of electromagnetic waves.

The eerie blue electric arc grid inside the main building's main entrance suddenly trembled violently!

"Sizzle!"

The electric arc emitted a piercing noise, and the light dimmed instantly!

It's now!

A glint flashed in the hot beauty's eyes, and she shot out like an arrow!

Her speed was incredibly fast!

She covered the 30-meter distance in less than two seconds!

The moment she rushed through the main building's main entrance, the electric arc grid behind her lit up again!

"Sizzle!"

Dozens of electric arcs intertwined again, sealing the gate completely!

but.

A hot beauty has already rushed in!

She stood in the main hall, slightly out of breath, with a fine layer of sweat on her forehead.

That last move, though seemingly easy, was actually extremely dangerous.

The effect of the EMP jammer only lasts for three seconds.

Within three seconds, she had to sprint across the thirty-meter distance and pass through the sensing range of the electric arc array.

Even a fraction of a second slower, and she would have been burned to a crisp by the reactivated electric arc net.

"call"

The hot beauty let out a long breath and raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

"Wei Yuan, this is quite a generous gesture."

She looked up and surveyed the hall before her.

The hall was huge, covering over a thousand square meters, with an absurdly high ceiling, at least ten meters high.

The walls around the room were covered with various monitoring screens and electronic devices, but they were all turned off and the room was completely dark.

In the very center of the lobby is an elevator.

The elevator doors were tightly closed.

On either side of the elevator, there is a staircase leading upstairs.

"The third floor?"

The hot beauty narrowed her eyes, about to take a step.

"boom!"

A loud bang came from behind her!

She turned around abruptly and saw that a large hole had been smashed into the wall on the other side of the hall from the outside!

Bricks and stones flew everywhere, and dust filled the air.

A burly figure emerged from the cave.

It was Zhao Tie!

His body was covered in dust and blood, and a long tear had been cut in the sleeve of his left arm, revealing a bloody and mangled wound inside.

But his eyes remained as fierce as a wolf's.

"Um?"

Zhao Tie was also taken aback when he saw the hot woman in the hall.

Then, a sinister smile appeared on his face.

"Oh, there's a beautiful girl here too?"

"What, you're here to settle scores with that brat Wei Yuan too?"

The hot beauty gave him a cold glance and didn't say anything.

"Hmph, stop pretending to be all high and mighty."

Seeing that the hot beauty ignored him, Zhao Tie snorted coldly and said no more, striding towards the elevator.

Just then.

"Tap, tap, tap."

A series of unhurried footsteps came from the direction of the stairs.

The two of them looked up at the same time.

Mu Chen was seen slowly walking down the stairs from the second floor.

"Oh?"

Mu Chen walked down to the first floor and saw the hot woman and Zhao Tie in the lobby. He raised an eyebrow.

"Have they all arrived?"

His voice was flat, devoid of any emotion.

When Zhao Tie saw Mu Chen, a hint of wariness flashed in his eyes.

He didn't know Mu Chen, but he could feel the chilling killing intent emanating from Mu Chen.

This person is not someone to be trifled with.

The hot beauty looked at Mu Chen with a half-smile.

"They arrived quite quickly."

Mu Chen glanced indifferently at his old nemesis without saying a word.

"The three of you are all here."

Just as the three were sizing each other up, a lazy voice suddenly came from all directions of the hall!

That voice belonged to Wei Yuan.

"Congratulations to the three of you for successfully passing through the previous four lines of defense and entering the final stage."

Wei Yuan's voice was clearly transmitted to the three people's ears through the hidden sound system in the hall.

"To welcome the three of you, I've prepared a small gift for you."

"I hope you will like it."

Before he could finish speaking...

"Clatter."

All the lights in the hall went out at the same time!

The entire hall was instantly plunged into complete darkness!

"What?!"

Zhao Tie instinctively raised the gun in his hand and looked around warily.

But in this absolute darkness, he could see nothing.

Hot beauties react the fastest.

The moment the lights went out, she rolled away and hid behind a huge load-bearing pillar.

At the same time, she pulled out a pair of night vision goggles from her waist and quickly put them on.

In the night vision footage, the entire hall turned into an eerie green.

She could see Zhao Tie standing in the center of the hall, aiming his gun haphazardly.

You can also see Mu Chen standing at the top of the stairs, crouching slightly, in a fighting stance ready to strike at any moment.

but……

She couldn't see Wei Yuan.

There was no one else in sight.

"Wei Yuan, get out here right now!"

Zhao Tie roared and fired a shot haphazardly into the darkness.

"boom!"

Gunshots echoed through the empty hall, but there was no response.

"Don't waste bullets."

Mu Chen's voice came from the direction of the stairwell, and it was frighteningly calm.

He's not in the lobby.

"He was on the third floor, controlling everything through surveillance and broadcasts."

The hot beauty hid behind a pillar and nodded slightly.

Mu Chen is right.

Wei Yuan's voice came from the sound system.

This indicates that he himself was not in the hall.

He was on the third floor, watching their every move through the monitor screen.

"So what do we do now?"

Zhao Tie asked in a low voice, his tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible tension.

In such absolute darkness, facing an unseen enemy, even a brute like him would feel uneasy.

"What else can we do?"

Mu Chen sneered.

"Didn't he say he had prepared a gift for us?"

"Let's see what his 'meeting gift' is."

The voice just fell.

"Buzz!"

A low, mechanical hum suddenly came from beneath the hall floor!

The three of them changed their expressions at the same time!

"Oh no! There's a trap on the ground!"

The hot beauty exclaimed in surprise, pushed off the support column with both feet, and her body soared into the air, landing steadily on a protruding platform at the top of the support column!

Almost at the same moment she leaped up.

"Snap! Snap! Snap!"

Suddenly, countless cracks appeared in the floor of the hall!

Sharp metal spikes suddenly sprang out from the gaps!

Each spike is more than half a meter long, gleaming coldly and extremely sharp!

If anyone had been standing on it, they would have been riddled with holes by now!

Zhao Tie was a beat slow to react.

By the time he realized something was wrong, the ground beneath his feet had already cracked open!

"grass!"

Zhao Tie cursed loudly and leaped forward!

His body arced through the air, narrowly avoiding the spikes that shot out from under his feet!

However, his right leg was still cut open by a sharp thorn, leaving a long gash!

Fresh blood gushed out instantly!

"what!"

Zhao Tie cried out in pain and fell heavily onto an open area without any traps at the edge of the hall.

He glanced down at the wound on his right leg, his face turning ashen.

The wound was very deep; you could almost see the bone.

If it had been any more off-center, his entire leg would have been ruined!

"Wei Yuan! You persistent bastard!"

Zhao Tie roared, his eyes bloodshot, almost spitting fire!

The moment the ground cracked open, Mu Chen had already flashed away and retreated to the stairs.

The stairs were made of stone and had no mechanisms.

He stood on the second step of the stairs, coldly watching the countless spikes that sprang out of the hall, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

"A spiked formation?"

"That's interesting."

He flexed his wrists, a glint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

"But you think you can stop me with something like this?"

He looked up at the dark ceiling above the hall.

"Wei Yuan, I know you're watching."

"Your little tricks are nothing but child's play to me."

"If you're so capable, come down here and fight me yourself."

"What kind of hero hides behind the scenes and resorts to underhanded tactics?"

however.

There was only silence in response.

Wei Yuan's voice never rang out again.

It was as if he had vanished.

But all three of them knew that he was still alive.

He was in a room on the third floor, coldly watching their every move through a monitor screen.

He watched them struggle, scream, and kill each other in his meticulously arranged chess game.

"Damn it..."

A stunningly beautiful woman stood atop a load-bearing pillar, looking down at the dense array of sharp spikes in the hall, her brows furrowed.

The entire floor of the hall, except for a small circle of open space at the edge and the base of a few load-bearing columns, was covered with spikes.

To get from the lobby to the elevator or the stairwell, you have to go through this spike trap.

The width of the ground spike formation is at least fifteen meters.

Fifteen meters is nothing to her.

But the problem is...

These spikes are mobile.

She could clearly see that the spikes were slowly rotating at an extremely slow speed.

This means that the layout of the ground spike formation is constantly changing.

She couldn't predict which patch of ground would spew out spikes the next second, or which would be safe.

"This is troublesome..."

The stunning woman bit her lip, a hint of seriousness flashing in her eyes.

And just then...

"Tap, tap, tap."

A soft footstep suddenly came from the darkness of the hall!

All three of them were startled at the same time!

These footsteps don't belong to any of them!

someone!

There are others in the darkness!

"who?!"

Zhao Tie suddenly raised his gun and shouted sharply in the direction from which the footsteps came!

But the footsteps didn't stop.

"Tap, tap, tap."

He walked slowly and steadily toward the center of the hall.

The stunning woman stared intently at the direction from which the footsteps were coming through her night vision goggles.

However, in the night vision footage, there was nothing but an eerie green expanse.

There was no one in sight.

There is no heat source.

It was as if the footsteps came from nothingness.

"impossible……"

The hot beauty's pupils suddenly contracted!

Her night vision goggles are the most advanced military model, capable of not only night vision but also detecting heat sources.

No living person can escape its detection.

but now……

She clearly heard footsteps, but couldn't see anyone!

There are only two possibilities.

First, the other side was wearing special combat uniforms that could block heat sources from detection.

second……

The other party is not even human!

"Wei Yuan, what the hell are you doing?!"

Zhao Tie roared and fired three shots in the direction from which the footsteps came!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Gunshots echoed through the empty hall.

But the footsteps didn't stop.

"Tap, tap, tap."

Taking it slow and steady, step by step, we're getting closer and closer!

at last.

The footsteps stopped in the center of the hall.

That is, the very center of the ground spike formation.

There, it was densely covered with sharp metal spikes.

But the owner of the footsteps was standing on those spikes.

It was as if those deadly spikes didn't exist for him at all.

Hello everyone.

A hoarse voice suddenly came from the darkness!

The voice was extremely hoarse, as harsh as sandpaper rubbing against metal.

Moreover, this voice was devoid of any emotion.

It was so cold, like a demon crawling out of hell.

You can call me…

"Number Zero."

Before he could finish speaking...

"Whoosh!"

Two beams of eerie green light suddenly shone in the darkness!

Those were eyes!

A pair of eyes emitting a ghostly green light!

In absolute darkness, those eyes appeared exceptionally eerie and terrifying!

The hot beauty finally saw what the other person looked like through night vision goggles.

The moment she saw it clearly, her face turned deathly pale!
