Chapter 652: Collision of Fates

Book – Chapter 652: Ran Over a Couple (5th Update)

When Xiao Yu charged from the fifth floor to the sixth. Lin

then sprinted from the sixth to the seventh…

Suddenly, Xiao Yu halted. A surge of bone-chilling cold emanated from ahead.

How long has it been?

Since he acquired the system, how long had he not felt such a threat?

It reminded him of the last time someone endangered him—a Mercenary King at the Border!

Of course, that wasn’t to say Xiao Yu had never encountered other threats.

For example, Zhou Lie, or Group Nine—if he considered them enemies,

they could all make him feel threatened.

In short, it was pure pressure!

Was this someone of equal caliber to a Group Nine member? Xiao Yu’s face darkened with cold suspicion.

As he analyzed who might be lurking ahead, a weapon quietly emerged from the seventh-floor stairwell.

It was aimed at the Xiao Yu pacing on the sixth floor’s platform, the trigger already pulled.

Bang!

It wasn’t a gunshot—it was Xiao Yu’s thigh slamming against the wall.

Rat-a-tat-tat.

Amid the exploding gunfire, Xiao Yu’s body, shielded by a hail of bullets, suddenly appeared before the shooter.

The shooter’s expression shifted—stunned, terrified, and incredulous—all visible on his Caucasian features.

He couldn’t fathom that someone could cover such a great distance in a single step—so high, so far—in an instant.

Could a human really do that?

Boom!

With that thought lingering, a burly man clad in Country D Special Forces training uniform received a bullet right on his brow and collapsed.

“So it’s a special forces guy!” Xiao Yu sniffed.

Wangdie’s Nose relayed information: at least six people had just passed through here.

Was it a special operations squad?

Remember, most elite teams typically number between 7 and 12.

Units with fewer than seven are rare.

Xiao Yu had just eliminated a female sniper, and now he detected the presence of six more.

Now he’d taken down another… and there were five special forces soldiers ambushing him from above?

Xiao Yu’s mind raced through the possibilities.

How did they know I’d head for the rooftop?

He understood.

They had deduced that I would enter the Security Bureau via the rooftop, expecting some escape equipment to be there.

Laying in wait like a rabbit by the stump?

If you play like that, you’re really testing my limits… Xiao Yu scoffed as he turned and dashed downstairs.

Anyone who deliberately walks into a tiger’s den is a fool!

Yet just as he hurtled down and reached the fourth floor,

suddenly… a shock ran through Xiao Yu.

Bang, bang, bang!

Cold, murderous intent accompanied by splintering bullets pelted him.

Damn… Xiao Yu’s lips trembled rapidly as a curse burst out.

Even with lightning reflexes and swift dodges,

thud!

A burst of blood sprayed over his shoulder; muscle torn, flesh ripped apart!

In the same instant, Xiao Yu forcefully kicked against the bullet-riddled wall, pushing himself forward instead of retreating.

Boom!

He smashed open the door to the stairwell’s safe passage.

He slammed both the assailant and the door to the ground.

Rat-a-tat-tat!

Xiao Yu unleashed a torrent of firepower at the door beneath him.

Below, motionless, blood oozed steadily from under the door.

It hurt so much… Gasping for air, Xiao Yu was forced to activate the Town of the Mole Rats skill to numb the pain.

Otherwise, even these seemingly minor injuries would distract him with pain and ruin his focus.

Rising to his feet, Xiao Yu punched the wall.

Boom!

The wall trembled, and chunks of white plaster crumbled down.

He grabbed a piece of the plaster, crushed it into powder, and pressed it against his shoulder.

To staunch the bleeding!

He then activated Opossum’s Remedy to prevent infection.

As long as he escaped, his Salamander Regeneration skill would heal his shoulder so swiftly that not even a scar would remain.

He kicked the door aside, revealing a corpse in a special forces training uniform below.

Xiao Yu’s expression shifted continuously.

For ordinary people, injuring him was nearly impossible.

Even regular special forces soldiers might not succeed.

Only the top-tier forces, those you’d compare to Old Silver Coin, were truly formidable.

Their experience in hunting down elusive targets was unparalleled.

Given even the slightest opening, if they had even a breath, you were as good as dead.

That’s the terror of elite special forces!

Feeling reality closing in on him… Xiao Yu grinned bitterly and continued his escape.

While barreling down to the third floor, a thought nagged at him.

After drawing fire for so long, Song Jiaxi must have been whisked away by now, right?

Yeah, by now it should be about time.

So… onto the second floor.

Xiao Yu stopped again, staring blankly at a uniformed brute who glowered at him coldly.

His eyes burned with anger, equally icy, bloodshot as though he were a rampaging beast.

That was the first impression Xiao Yu got.

It was like his wife had cheated on him.

At moments like this, a man typically loses all rationality.

But wait—I don’t even know who he is, let alone know his wife… Xiao Yu was baffled.

“Do you dare act like a real man?” the man in uniform roared.

Such overwhelming hostility—what grudge, what hatred… Xiao Yu was shocked and lowered his Compact Cannon.

The moment he put his gun down, the man charged at him.

In response, Xiao Yu raised his Compact Cannon again.

At that moment, the man’s thigh was lifted, rendering him immobile.

Rat-a-tat-tat!

In an instant, the hot-tempered man in uniform was beaten into a pulp.

“Am I a man? My sister has the final say,” he quipped.

Xiao Yu looked disdainfully at the corpse and sneered, “Who do you think you are?”

But now it was time to grab the loot.

He swiftly collected the magazine from the man’s uniform.

607

Unexpectedly, he found a photo in the man’s uniform pocket.

A group shot of a man and a woman.

The man in the picture was the brute before him, and the woman was armed with a Heavy Sniper Rifle.

Damn… Xiao Yu suddenly understood why the woman despised him so much.

Was that female sniper his girlfriend?

Did I just accidentally run over a couple while riding that death machine?

May the couple rest in peace—hope heaven is free of heavy traffic!

With a sly grin, Xiao Yu quickly made his escape.

Female Sniper, huh?

A special operations team—how many of you are left?

Reaching the first floor, he found no one.

Not even any security personnel, special forces, or guards… Xiao Yu squinted.

He sensed the unmistakable trap laid out by Old Silver Coin—waiting for you to fall in.

When in doubt, quantum mechanics… Xiao Yu turned and ran back to the second floor.

Charge headfirst at whoever you love, I’m not going up there!

But just as Xiao Yu bolted for the stairwell on the first floor,

three shadowy figures emerged from the three corners of the grand hall.

They had just descended from the rooftop using a rope, ready to ambush him.

Then… all three charged toward the stairwell at full speed.

However, the moment they started running, a Compact Cannon extended from the stairwell’s entrance,

aimed directly at them… and gunfire erupted!
