Myth Beyond Heaven

"How many people are in your team?" Yun Lintian asked further.

The man replied honestly. "Including team leader, there are forty-one people on the team."

Yun Lintian glanced around the room and saw eighteen bodies were lying on the floor. Including the man in front of him, Liu Jian, and ten people that Lei Hao and Tu Feng had taken down previously, at least thirty people had entered the factory. 

Yun Lintian turned to look at the man and asked. "What's your other mission aside from Project Eve?"

The man swallowed nervously as he replied timidly. "I-it's you and your team."

Yun Lintian's face turned icy. "You should know that my team never has a conflict with the country. Why did they want to kill us?" Until now, Yun Lintian remained skeptical about Zhu Ding's personal grudge. He simply didn't believe the Zhu family would have this much power to the point they could influence the special unit like the Dragon Soul team.

The man shook hurriedly shook his head. "I don't know. I only heard that it's because you and your team have violated the country's interest."

Yun Lintian suddenly laughed. "Violated the country's interest? Haha. What a ridiculous reason." Now, he was certain it was Zhu Ding's personal grudge. This guy probably deceived the higher-ups and let them believe his Cloud Shadow team was a threat to the country… What a good Zhu Ding! I wasn't looking for trouble, yet you trouble me.

The man shivered in fright as he saw a terrifyingly gloomy light in Yun Lintian's eyes. His instinct screamed loudly. The person in front of him was extremely dangerous — countless times terrible than the Dragon Soul team leader he had met before.

"What's your name?" Yun Lintian asked.

"Ma… Ma Bochao." The man, Ma Bochao, answered in a trembling voice.

"Where are you from?" Yun Lintian asked further. His voice was plain, without any emotion.

"Zhejiang. I'm from Zhejiang." Ma Bochao replied.

"I see." Yun Lintian nodded his head slightly. "Don't worry. I'll send your name tag back to your hometown later."

Ma Bochao was petrified. Before he could scream, Yun Lintian had already pulled the trigger, ending his life on the spot.

Of course, Yun Lintian didn't intend to do as he said. He had no sympathy for the enemy.

He glanced at Tu Feng, who had just finished the wolf-like creature off, and said. "Let's go!"

Tu Feng nodded his head, and the two quickly followed in Xia Yao's direction.

Roar—

Just as both of them were about to leave the central lab, countless deafening roars suddenly resounded from all directions, causing them to startle for a moment.

"How many of them are there?" Tu Feng subconsciously asked. These screams were, without a doubt coming from the similar creatures he fought earlier.

Yun Lintian's brows sank slightly. "Go!"

Without further ado, the two of them rushed out of the lab and saw Xia Yao was fighting with a few wolf-like creatures. As for Liu Jian, he unfortunately became these creatures' food already.

Yun Lintian quickly charged forward and made a few shots at the pack of wolves before arriving beside Xia Yao.

"Where is Ah'Hao?" He asked.

Xia Yao reloaded her gun while answering. "I let him chase after that scientist."

Yun Lintian's complexion turned grimed slightly. He felt that he shouldn't let Lei Hao go in the first place. He didn't expect there were a lot of these experimental creatures aside from the central lab.

"Hurry up. Ah'Hao is in danger." Yun Lintian said and hurriedly killed the wolves, along with Xia Yao and Tu Feng.

It took them four minutes to kill all the fifteen wolves. They didn't waste their time further and followed Lei Hao's direction afterward. 

Along the way, more and more strange creatures appeared in the corridor, and a few corpses could be seen on the floor. Evidently, Lei Hao had passed through here.

"There's an elevator ahead." Xia Yao suddenly said as soon as she saw a freight elevator at the end of the corridor.

"Go in!" Yun Lintian cleared the way for Xia Yao and Tu Feng before quickly rushing into the elevator.

As the elevator's door closed, Yun Lintian heaved a sigh of relief and leaned against the wall. He had spent a lot of strength in the previous battle with Reaper and was now somewhat exhausted.

Xia Yao looked at him and said softly. "You can take a rest first. We will take care of it."

Tu Feng didn't say anything, but the meaning in his eyes expressed everything. 

Yun Lintian shook his head slightly. "I can still fight." He paused for a moment and added. "I don't know why I feel exhausted like this."

It was at this moment Yun Lintian discovered he felt unusually drained. Normally, he could fight like this all day all night with no problem. This was too abnormal.

Xia Yao recalled the scene where Yun Lintian fought with Reaper. She suddenly found Yun Lintian's movement was too strange. His speed was unusually high. Even faster than Lei Hao, who had been regarded as the fastest man in the group.

Bang!

As the two of them were in deep thoughts, the elevator suddenly shook and stopped on the spot. Yun Lintian, Xia Yao, and Tu Feng glanced at each other and turned to look at the ceiling confusedly.

Bang!

The elevator shook violently once again. This time, they could clearly see something was smashing the elevator's roof. Judging by its powerful force, there was no way it could be human.

Bang!

At this moment, a hole suddenly appeared in the ceiling, revealing a terrifyingly giant hand that resembled a gorilla's hands. Compared to the previous gorilla that Yun Lintian and Tu Feng had seen, this one was at least twice larger.

Yun Lintian quickly reacted and shouted at Tu Feng while shooting consecutively at the unknown creature on the roof. "Ah'Feng, break the door!"

Tu Feng reacted in almost an instant.. He stepped forward and launched a powerful kick at the elevator's door.
