Outside the inn is a chaotic world, and inside the inn are empty corridors.

Qing Chen carried the Glock 34 and walked outside.

Ye Wan was right. Although Qing Chen was cautious, he was never lacking in courage.

Just like when he arrived at Prison No. 18 after traveling through time, he never asked anyone for a way out, even in the black box or when facing waterboarding.

He achieved success through his fierce spirit and his attitude of facing death with a will to live.

This is the fundamental reason why Li Shutong valued him.

Compared to his gift of Hyperthymesia, Li Shutong always cared more about his character and temperament.

Perhaps because no one was ever waiting for him, or perhaps because he never lingered in the past, Qing Chen was always moving forward bravely, never looking back or having any regrets.

At that moment, Wang Yun ran out of one of the rooms.

When she saw Qing Chen in the corridor, her eyes were filled with surprise, but she wasn't that familiar with Qing Chen, so she didn't recognize him at all.

Qing Chen looked at the other person coldly. The other person's clothes were neat and showed no signs of being trampled on, and their makeup was still exquisite.

"You..." Wang Yun was stunned when she saw Qing Chen's mask.

The next moment, Qing Chen raised his hand and fired four shots. Two shots missed, and the last two shots hit the girl's left and right legs accurately.

Then they continued walking forward without stopping at all.

Qing Chen suddenly discovered that he had a talent for using firearms.

When using firearms, everyone must use a lot of ammunition to "feed" them the feel of a gun.

Gun feel is the familiar recoil, the familiar muzzle velocity, the familiar trajectory correction process, and the familiar reaction of your own arm muscles at the moment of firing.

But Qing Chen only needs to fire a few shots to firmly retain all his senses in his mind.

So his first two shots at Wang Yun went astray, but the next two shots were precisely corrected.

Wang Yun let out a wail behind him.

Qing Chen's heart remained unmoved.

Many things came together at this moment.

On September 30th, of the four people who usually go to school together, only Wang Yun arrived at school alone early and had made an appointment with Nan Gengchen.

Throughout the day, during breaks between classes, Liu Dezhu, Hu Xiaoniu, Zhang Tianzhen, and Bai Wan'er would gather in the corridor, but Wang Yun did not leave the classroom. Instead, she stayed in her seat all day, looking depressed.

Therefore, when Qing Chen realized that an insider had informed the criminals of the itinerary, the criminals might even have temporarily changed their plans to cooperate with tonight's operation.

So he asked Liu Dezhu: Who proposed changing the itinerary?

At that time, Liu Dezhu replied: Bai Wan'er.

Qing Chen, however, subconsciously thought that this was unreasonable.

In his memory, Wang Yun was the most suspicious one.

Bai Wan'er was not the answer he wanted.

It now seems that something must have happened the night the thugs came to Jiang Xue's house, which caused their personality to change drastically the next day and the four of them to become estranged.

Finally, when the criminals illogically took away Wang Yun and then suddenly took away Nan Gengchen, Qing Chen confirmed his suspicions.

The perpetrators couldn't possibly be so stupid as to let their lust get the better of them in such a critical moment.

The other party must be trying to take Wang Yun away and find a suitable place to exchange information.

However, after taking Wang Yun away, the other party immediately took Nan Gengchen away as well.

Qing Chen believed this was no coincidence.

Therefore, the moment he bumped into Wang Yun in the corridor, he chose to shoot.

This may be Qing Chen's coldest side, yet also his most passionate.

For some reason, when he thought of the corpses scattered in the yard, he felt he couldn't let the girl leave peacefully.

Qing Chen wasn't looking to avenge anyone, since he had no connection with those two Kunlun members or the innkeeper.

But he was thinking that someone had to pay the price for this.

Even if a scenic area like Laojun Mountain is hidden in the mountains, there will be hardly any pedestrians on the streets after 1 a. m., no matter how many tourists there are.

The restaurants on the street will also be closed, leaving only the streetlights on.

However, the commotion caused by the Cloud Inn was so great that it alerted all the inns and guesthouses along the road.

The students scattered frantically as they fled, while the thugs, having changed their clothes, followed leisurely behind.

The remaining four of them were pulling at Liu Dezhu, Zhang Tianzhen, Hu Xiaoniu, and Bai Wan'er, covering their bound hands with clothes.

On the way, Hu Xiaoniu calmly said, "You can't escape with the four of us, because things have gone beyond your plans. There's only one road up and down the mountain, and Kunlun might have already set up roadblocks along the way."

The leader of the thugs did not interrupt him, but listened with great interest.

Hu Xiaoniu continued, "If you release the four of us, you can go straight into the mountains. The Funiu Mountain stretch for eight hundred miles; even a god couldn't catch you. But if you take the four of us, we'll only be a burden on your journey. Give me your account number; you're just after money, and I promise I'll transfer the money to you when we get back."

The leader smiled and said, "We appreciate your consideration, but you're overthinking it."

After saying that, he waved to his companion to open a plastic bag, inside which were more than a dozen prepared Molotov cocktails.

The next moment, the leader took out a lighter and lit a cigarette for himself, and then lit the cotton cloth on the Molotov cocktail.

"Old Liu, throw it away," he calmly told the other thugs.

A nearby thug swung his hand and threw the Molotov cocktail, which landed directly in another guesthouse by the roadside.

In an instant, a raging fire broke out.

The thugs led them away, throwing things as they went, until the entire row of guesthouses burst into flames.

Countless tourists were jolted awake from their sleep and rushed out into the streets, disheveled.

But that's not enough.

The leader of the thugs turned to look at Liu Dezhu and laughed, "To be honest, I really want to take you away, but I'm also very afraid that you'll go back to the Inner World. What if you tell Li Shutong everything, and he's really willing to go to great lengths to find us for you? That would be terrifying. So, let's say goodbye here. If you die, these tourists will be scared and run around in a panic."

The leader said to those behind him, "Seventh Brother, remove the silencers. After firing a whole magazine, let these lovely tourists run around even more happily!"

However, no one responded to him.

The leader suddenly turned around and saw that in the thin mist not far away, the Seventh Brother, who should have been escorting Bai Wan'er, was lying in a pool of blood.

Blood was gushing from the lower back of the opponent, with blood gushing from the ruptured spleen.

No one knows when Seventh Brother died, nor does anyone know who killed him!

It was as if a hunter was hiding in that thin mist, and they had already transformed from hunters into prey.

With a cold expression, the assailant removed his silencer and pulled the trigger at Liu Dezhu.

But at that very moment, Liu Dezhu suddenly burst forth with immense courage when faced with a life-or-death decision.

He bent down and pushed the thugs aside, then quickly ran into the darkness, dodging as he ran.

Extremely fast speed and explosive power!

The physical enhancements granted by the gene serum saved his life, and the gang leader seemed surprised that this timid man had suddenly found the courage to resist.

At the same time, someone fired a shot from somewhere, which hit the thigh of the thug who was holding Liu Dezhu.

Before the wounded thug could fall to the ground, the hunter in the shadows fired another shot, piercing his skull.

The gang leader's face darkened. He no longer cared about anything else and fired a few shots at the tourists in the crowd.

The sharp gunshots startled all the tourists, and the aimless crowd, seeing the victims lying on the ground, began to flee in disarray!

The leader and another thug, along with Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen, mingled in the crowd and quickly headed towards the parking lot.

There were too many unexpected events tonight.

What should have been a meticulously planned scheme fell apart due to an unexpected turn of events.

Of the eight thugs, only two remained.

They must leave immediately.

Thank you, Yi Shi, for becoming a new ally of this book. You're so generous, may you make a fortune!

Are there any other bosses who would like to receive my blessing?
