Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

He actually fired a shot!

And they fired right there in such a crucial location!

Behind the girl, a researcher in a white lab coat was caught off guard and shot in the head. Instantly, brain matter of various colors burst out, just like a watermelon that had been smashed open.

But this is certainly not the end.

After he opened fire, he began firing freely, and the entire research area instantly turned into a living hell!

This area was originally an isolated zone with only one passage leading to the outside and no hiding places. At the most critical moment, none of the researchers were on guard.

Everyone's minds were focused on the research questions just a moment ago, but unexpectedly, they were slaughtered the next moment!

Everything before my eyes was blood red!

At this moment, Shiho Miyano was shrouded in fear. She was trembling all over and didn't know what to say. With each gunshot, a researcher fell down, and the smell of blood filled the air.

Even after a researcher's body fell, it knocked over a machine, causing flames to erupt instantly. Smoke alarms went off, and countless nozzles began spraying water throughout the area.

The cold water running down her body brought Shiho Miyano back to her senses, after she had been in a daze.

"You bastard, you killed all the researchers! What are you trying to do! Are you betraying the organization?"

The man scoffed softly, "Betray the organization? I won't betray the organization. What I'm doing now is for the organization's benefit. After all, the things here are extremely important. The entire base is currently under attack from hostile forces, and I don't want them to fall into enemy hands. Otherwise, our secrets would be at risk of being leaked."

That's why I let them go first; it seemed to be the most reasonable choice.

Chapter 174 Brutal Battle

It's incredible that someone could kill so many innocent people so calmly, as if they were just stepping on a few ants, without any emotion in their eyes!

This person's cruelty is in no way inferior to Gin's!

He was even more brutal than Gin. A strong sense of fear washed over her, and at that moment, she could only relieve her fear by screaming hysterically.

Why don't you kill me too?

The man smiled faintly: "Miss Shirley, how can you say that? You are fundamentally different from these people. You are a formal member of the organization with a code name, and you have nothing in common with the researchers hired by these organizations."

Moreover, if they die, the organization only needs to recruit some researchers, or even send some out directly. But if you die, the progress of the entire project will be completely ruined!

The most important point is that, although I am arrogant, the situation is indeed extremely critical. My abilities are only sufficient to ensure the safe escape of one person. Any more than that wouldn't be enough. Therefore, I can only take one person with me, and that person is you!

This seems like a perfectly reasonable choice.

"how so?".

In an instant, Shiho Miyano thought of many things. The organization was not without rivals, and the fact that this rival was acting so recklessly meant that something big had happened.

The clash between two large organizations may just be a battle between them, but for the small figures caught in the middle, it is a catastrophe!

What she finds hardest to accept is what's happening with her sister now!

No wonder he was still completing other tasks under the organization's arrangement just a few days ago, but just two days ago, he was directly transferred back by the organization and even assigned to the security work of this research base.

She was initially very happy. The security work at the research base was almost entirely safe, and being so close meant she could see her sister every day.

But I never expected things to escalate to this point!

What was originally a harmless situation has become one where one could lose their life at any moment, or even be abandoned, which is something Shiho Miyano cannot accept.

"No, I can't leave! My sister is still here!"

The mysterious figure sneered: "Oh? Your sister, that Hirota Masami? No, she should be called Miyano Akemi. Honestly, you're sisters, but your abilities are so different. She can only contribute a little bit of insignificant power to the organization, like those peripheral members, while you can participate in core research."

However, this is not something you can decide. You'd better obediently follow me. If you dare to disobey me, I will knock you out and take you away. Your sister is not stupid, and neither are those attackers. The attackers obviously have their own goals.

"If you and I leave quickly, the chances of survival for the remaining people in this base will be much better."

These words instantly pierced her weak spot. The attackers chose to attack the research institute because they wanted what was inside, or they simply wanted to kill all the researchers.

If she were still here, all the security personnel would have to do everything they could to protect her safety, which would in turn put her sister in the most dangerous situation.

"I can agree to leave with you, but I want my sister to live. If she dies, I will never let you go!"

The mysterious figure nodded: "Don't worry, as long as you continue to demonstrate sufficient value, the organization will not abandon you!"

At this moment, the battle outside had reached its most intense stage, with both sides engaging in extremely fierce firefights. In just over ten minutes, both sides had already suffered considerable casualties.

The short man looked at the scene before him and couldn't help but reveal a cruel smile.

"These crows are indeed quite capable; they're trained to be truly effective. However, even so, they're doomed to die in the face of our attack!"

As he spoke, he suddenly lifted the extremely heavy gun and held it to his chest, pointing the dark muzzle at his opponent who was frantically fighting back, and then pulled the trigger.

Inside the gun barrel, bullets, each about the thickness of a thumb, were rapidly propelled and unleashed towards the enemy. These bullets possessed extremely strong penetrating power, capable of withstanding attacks from ordinary bullets even when the enemy used walls as cover.

However, under this barrage of bullets, several security personnel from the black-clad organization were riddled with bullets in an instant.

The powerful recoil also impacted the small man instantly, but his seemingly frail body was like a nail, firmly resisting all the recoil without moving an inch.

Many security personnel were horrified at the sight, and taking advantage of the moment, the attacking side quickly closed the distance, throwing several grenades next to the bunker.

With a violent explosion, the Black Organization's defenses finally collapsed completely!

"Oh no, let's get out of here!"

Seeing this scene, the security officer knew that continuing to guard the area would only lead to his death; the only option now was to escape.

He scrambled and stumbled in the opposite direction. He was quite strong, and now, in order to survive, he was going all out and moving incredibly fast. In just a few seconds, he had covered dozens of meters and rushed into a room.

There is a secret escape passage here. Once you enter the passage, you can ride your specially prepared motorcycle and follow it to the main road, where you can escape these people.

However, his idea was clearly just a hypothetical scenario. Just as he rushed into the room and closed the door, a burst of bullets struck, shattering the entire door. Caught off guard, he was blown apart.

"Hmph, trying to escape right under our noses? That's incredibly stupid! What I love most is executing deserters who try to escape. I kill every single one of them I see!"

The short man's cold gaze swept quickly across the wall, and he discovered the existence of a secret passage through the hole in the wall, but he didn't pay it any mind.

"These guys are obviously good at leaving themselves an escape route. There are more than one such secret passage in the entire research institute. However, they don't know that our organization has already obtained the blueprints of the entire research institute. Otherwise, it would not be an easy task to storm a heavily guarded fortress."

You guys really shouldn't have run away. If you stayed here, it would be fine if you died in my hands, but if you fell into the boss's hands, he has a hobby of crushing his opponents' bones one by one. That kind of feeling is not pleasant.

The entire research institute area had become a death zone, filled with screams and wails. The attackers had gained the upper hand; each of them was highly skilled, well-prepared, and possessed overwhelming firepower. Naturally, the entire base was unable to withstand such an attack.

Meanwhile, in a deep, dark tunnel, an injured figure was struggling to move forward.

"No, I can't die here. I want to see Shiho grow up, to see her get married and have children. I can't die here!"

This person was none other than Shiho Miyano's beloved older sister, Akemi Miyano.

She was in a terrible state, covered in blood and grime, and had been shot in the shoulder.

She clutched the wound on her shoulder tightly, her face turning pale as blood flowed down her arm, even staining the pistol in her hand red.

However, her persistence has paid off; she has already seen the exit of the secret passage.

Suppressing the pain, I pressed my thumb on the fingerprint lock, and a very hidden door slowly opened, revealing a shimmering expanse of water. Beyond the secret passage lay a river area.

"This is it. Once I cross this stream, there's a small emergency supply point where I can quickly change clothes, erase all traces, and the attackers will never be able to track me down."

But as she waded across the stream to the bank, a shadow fell over her; it was a burly figure that completely blocked her view.

"It seems this is the end of the road. You can now say your last words!"

Chapter 175 Arriving Just in Time (3rd Update)

"Gudong-"

Akemi Miyano's expression changed drastically. She was not afraid of death or fighting, but there was one condition: the opponent had to be a single person.

But the person in front of me should not be in the human category!

Because she had already recognized the person's identity.

"You are Kevin, the legendary mercenary known as the Blood Wolf!"

A cruel smile appeared on the burly man's face, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light.

Only then did he reveal his true face, which was that of an exceptionally tall and robust white man.

He was a mercenary who had participated in many brutal battles and survived them.

Unlike those who join mercenaries out of desperation and just want to make a living, he enjoys the thrill of combat. Moreover, because of his ruthless and cruel methods, he has not only killed many people, but also used extremely cruel techniques.

He instilled fear in the mercenaries, who were accustomed to killing, and they gave him the nickname "Blood Wolf." He was also affectionately called "Blood Wolf Kevin" by the mercenaries.

"As expected of a member of the Black Organization, they were able to recognize me. It seems I'm a celebrity now. But I didn't expect that the person who came out of this tunnel was just a nobody. I should have switched places with that Night Owl guy."

He wore a cruel smile, but also seemed quite regretful.

At this moment, fear spread across Miyano Akemi's face.

As the saying goes, a person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. Some people's infamous reputation is the result of countless adversaries' sacrifices. Their blood serves as a reminder to their future opponents just how ruthless this person truly is.

Rumor has it that this Blood Wolf Kevin is no pushover.

According to legend, when this person was thirteen years old, he beat his younger brother to death because of his cruel nature. Later, when he was nineteen, he broke his stepmother's neck during an argument.

By this time he was an adult and could no longer escape the law, so he ran away from home and later joined a mercenary organization.

In just a few years, he became a fearsome figure among mercenaries, thanks to his ruthless style and cunning methods.

According to rumors, his strength was astonishing. Later, it was even said that he underwent some extremely cruel modifications to increase his strength, which made his strength explode. Some people even said that this guy once had a record of stopping an armored vehicle with his bare hands!

Moreover, he enjoys torturing his opponents. If an opponent falls into his hands and is still alive, he will break their limbs and crush their bones piece by piece.

He even said that the feeling of crushing someone's bones was like crushing instant noodles through a plastic bag, especially when accompanied by the enemy's screams and wails, it was a feast for the eyes and ears!

Knowing all this, Miyano Akemi couldn't help but tremble. If a woman fell into the hands of such a person, her fate would inevitably be extremely tragic.

She gritted her teeth, raised her pistol at the other person, and pulled the trigger hard.

So what if he's a blood wolf? As long as he's human, bullets will have an effect and can pierce through and kill him!

In that instant, she suddenly felt a jolt in her hand, as if she were gripping a trembling railway track. Blood gushed from her tiger's mouth, and the pistol in her hand was now only half intact!

At this moment, Blood Wolf Kevin had a short axe in his hand. It was clear that this guy had made the move. He used the short axe to cut the pistol in Miyano Akemi's hand in half, so the trigger was no longer working.

"How is this possible? The pistol was cut in half, how could this be...?"

Using a long weapon to cut a pistol in half is simply unheard of!

"Alright, I still have to deal with the real big fish. I don't have time to play around with a little sparrow like you here."
