Myth Beyond Heaven

Yun Lintian slowly nodded his head. "You're right. It's always disturbing me for all this time on how did Ah'Kai fell." A killing intent flashed across Yun Lintian's eyes as he muttered. "Zhu Ding…"

Yun Lintian took a deep breath, trying to suppress the flame of fury in his heart, and beckoned everyone. "Let's move."

Everyone glanced at each other and headed toward the central lab after taking some weapons from the deceased enemies.

***

In the central lab, Donkey was controlled by a few men. He looked at these people in front of him nervously. Judging from their conversations, these people should be China's special force. No doubt about it, their target was the Hell Church.

Donkey looked at a tall man, who seemed to be a leader, and said. "This gentleman, I already give you everything. Can you let me go?"

The tall man, Liu Jian, glanced at Donkey and said coldly. "Shut up!"

Donkey was frightened and hurriedly shut his mouth up, not daring to look at them again. However, no one noticed that he secretly took a glance at huge tube glasses with human-shaped creatures. A cold glint appeared in his eyes before lowering his head and remaining silent.

Liu Jian touched his ear and said. "Leader, we have obtained the goods now. What shall we do next?"

A short moment later, Zhu Ding's voice rang out from the other side. "Send it to me and prepare for the upcoming battle. They are on the way to your position."

Liu Jian narrowed his eyes slightly as he replied. "Roger that." He then turned to look at two men beside him, and they quickly left the room with a security bag in their hands.

"Everyone, get into your positions." Liu Jian said and moved backward, hiding behind a long counter.

Donkey looked at the scene thoughtfully. He seemed to understand everything now. The helpers that Reaper said were no other than these people… Why did they prepare for a battle? Could it be Yun Lintian's group was coming here soon? If that was the case, wouldn't it mean Reaper was already dead?

The more he thought, the more desperate Donkey became. He started to struggle, trying to get rid of the rope on his wrists. "Hurry up! Untie me. I am willing to go with you. You need me with Project Eve, don't you?"

Liu Jian frowned slightly and contacted Zhu Ding. "Leader, this fatty scientist is surrendering to us. What is your instruction?"

"Him? It's okay. Just use him as bait." Zhu Ding replied casually.

"Understood." Liu Jian responded and walked toward Donkey.

He pointed the gun at the latter and said coldly. "You better behave well."

Donkey hurriedly nodded his head. "Don't worry, I'm a good boy."

Liu Jian's mouth twitched slightly and beckoned a man beside him to untie Donkey. Afterward, he dragged Donkey to his side, hiding behind the previous counter.

"Thank you. Thank you." Donkey kept expressing his gratitude while glancing at a control panel a few steps away from him.

"Shut up!" Liu Jian frowned and hit Donkey with his gun.

Donkey painfully covered his head, appearing extremely fearful. He tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart… Just you wait!

At this moment, Yun Lintian's group had cautiously arrived before the central lab's entrance.

Yun Lintian made a hand gesture to Xia Yao, and the latter nodded her head before slipping to the door's control panel.

Yun Lintian gave the nod to Lei Hao and Tu Feng. They checked their guns briefly before sending a ready signal.

Yun Lintian then turned to look at Xia Yao. The latter took a deep breath and pressed the open button.

As soon as the iron door opened, Tu Feng and Lei Hao threw a smoke grenade and flashbang into the room. With a bang, Yun Lintian and others swiftly slipped into the room while shooting at the waiting opponents. The room was immediately turned into an intense gunfire battlefield.

Yun Lintian managed to hit two and rolled onto the ground, hiding behind a cover nearby. Meanwhile, Lei Hao and Tu Feng had also gotten rid of five opponents and found a place to hide, reloading the magazines.

Liu Jian didn't expect the situation became like this. He heard about the Cloud Shadow team's reputation before and thought it was too exaggerated. Unfortunately, everything was true, as the rumors said. These people's abilities seemed to surpass a human's realm.

Liu Jian glanced at the back door behind the control panel and beckoned his men. "Use the grenade." Because the room wasn't big, Liu Jian didn't dare place a bomb or use an explosive grenade before. Now, he had no choice but to take a risk.

Two men nearby him quickly threw the grenades toward Yun Lintian's group and leaned down on the floor.

Lei Hao was the first one who noticed this. He shouted and jumped away while throwing a grenade at the enemy's position.

Boom!

The whole room shook violently, filling the entire space with black smoke. At this moment, Donkey seized this chance while everyone was affected by the explosion to rush toward the control panel and hurriedly pressed a few buttons.

Immediately, the remaining tube glasses around the room slowly opened. The creatures within them seemed to come back to life. They opened their eyes and looked around expressionlessly.

These creatures were unfinished products that Donkey created. He didn't care whether they could do the job properly. All he needed right now was to escape from this place.

Seeing this, Donkey quickly shouted. "Kill all of them!" Following that, he pulled a hard disk out of the control panel and rushed toward the back door, leaving the room safely.

Coming back to his sense, Liu Jian cursed angrily and hurriedly followed Donkey. However, as he was about to reach the door, a bullet suddenly pierced precisely on his knee, causing him to fall down.

In the distance, Xia Yao lowered her gun and shuttered through the room toward Liu Jian with Yun Lintian and Lei Hao covering her. In a short breath, she had already arrived beside Liu Jian and stomped on the latter's hand that was searching for the gun.

"Don't move!" Xia Yao said coldly while pointing the gun at Liu Jian's temple.
