Noticing that the terrorists had already spotted them, Dr. Yinsen grew a little flustered.

"Tony, are you done yet?! They've noticed something's wrong." Dr. Yinsen asked anxiously.

Tony Stark quickly replied, "It's done. Yinsen, help me put on the Iron Armor!"

Without hesitation, Yinsen immediately stepped forward to help him put on the Iron Armor.

But putting on the Iron Armor was only the first step. Without power, it could not move at all.

"The suit needs five minutes before it's fully powered. We need to hurry!" Dr. Yinsen said as he looked toward the entrance, constantly watching for terrorists breaking in.

His body could not stop trembling from nervousness.

Though Tony Stark was just as nervous, he still comforted Yinsen. "Don't worry. We set explosives outside the door. If they force their way in, they'll get blown up. That might buy us some time."

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something.

"When you came in, didn't you trigger the bomb trap outside?! Luo Bai?" Tony Stark asked in confusion.

Luo Bai fell silent.

After all, he had not entered through the front door, so naturally he had not triggered the trap.

But before he could explain, a deafening boom shattered the cave's silence.

The terrorists had breached the door!

The good news was that the terrorists who broke in had been blown to death.

The bad news was that this would definitely alert the other terrorists. They had no time left.

"Tony, stop asking unimportant questions at a time like this. We need to buy more time for the armor to start up!" Dr. Yinsen snapped anxiously.

Before Tony Stark could answer, Dr. Yinsen continued, "Luo Bai, can you help us?!"

"What do you need me to do?" Luo Bai asked, a bad feeling rising in his heart.

Sure enough, the next second, Yinsen asked for help. "Can you stall them for us? We need your help!"

The moment he finished speaking, Luo Bai froze.

What the hell?!

He wanted a fragile college student like him to hold off terrorists outside armed with machine guns?!

Honestly, Luo Bai did not think he could hold them off.

But if the Iron Armor could not start up, death was the only thing waiting for him too.

Thinking that, he could only grit his teeth and agree. "Fine... What do I need to do?!"

"We go out and fight those terrorists!" Dr. Yinsen said, his gaze so resolute it was like he was about to join the Party.

Compared with his resolve, Luo Bai was far less confident.

"Then... let's go..." Luo Bai replied weakly. The two walked out one after the other.

Once outside, Luo Bai discovered that the door had already been blown apart. Several mangled, dismembered corpses lay on the ground.

If his nerves had not been fairly strong, he probably would have thrown up by now.

Dr. Yinsen seemed to have grown accustomed to such things after being in the cave for so long.

He calmly walked forward, picked up usable guns from beside the bodies, and handed one to Luo Bai.

"Here. I think you'll need it. And protect yourself," Yinsen reminded him kindly.

Luo Bai said nothing.

He looked calm on the surface, but inside, he was panicking like crazy.

Looking at the gun in his hand, he could not help complaining inwardly, Wait, how the hell do I use this thing?! I know a little about guns, but I've never actually fired one!

But before he could study it carefully, the terrorists rushed in.

Hearing footsteps and shouts from nearby, Dr. Yinsen gripped his gun and prepared to charge out. As he moved, he discussed it with Luo Bai. "They're here. I'll go kill them! Cover me from behind!"

Luo Bai quickly stopped him. "Don't go out yet!"

Dr. Yinsen halted and said urgently, "If we don't go out now, we'll be dead once they get in!"

Luo Bai hurriedly explained, "The cave entrance is narrow. It's easy to defend and hard to attack. We'll hold here and wait for them to come."

Though Yinsen looked brave, he was ultimately a researcher. Before being captured, how could he have ever seen anything like this?

Like Luo Bai, he had never used a gun and had never experienced anything like this.

His calmness was an act too. In truth, he was panicking like crazy inside.

Perhaps he felt Luo Bai's words made sense and assumed he had experience, so he stayed at the entrance with Luo Bai.

Before long, they saw three or four terrorists carrying machine guns running toward them.

The cave was narrow, with almost nowhere to hide. Luo Bai knew that if the terrorists spotted them and fired first, they would most likely be finished.

So the instant he saw the terrorists appear, Luo Bai shouted, "Fire!"

Before Yinsen could react, he unleashed a fierce burst of gunfire ahead.

Honestly, Luo Bai had never imagined that he would actually hit anyone when firing a gun.

After all, this was his first time using one. He barely even knew how to aim.

On top of that, the cave was extremely dark. Hitting a target was incredibly difficult.

Yet to his utter surprise, after he fired several rapid shots—

A string of screams rang out through the cave. Every terrorist fell to the ground, and no more sounds came from them.

In an instant, even Luo Bai was stunned.

He had actually... hit them?!

As he was thinking that, Yinsen suddenly shouted excitedly beside him, "Amazing shooting! I hadn't even reacted before you killed all the enemies?! Your aim is so accurate. You must have received professional training, right?!"

Luo Bai did not answer, but inwardly he could not help replying, Actually, this is my first time using a gun too.

Honestly, even he found it strange.

It was his first time using a gun, yet in such a difficult environment, he had hit targets four times in a row.

Who would believe he was not a professional?

Even Luo Bai was baffled now, and he could not help wondering inwardly, Could it be that I'm naturally gifted at shooting?!

But he did not have much time to think, because the second wave of terrorists entered the cave.

Though he did not know exactly how many had come this time, the dense footsteps made it clear that there were far more than before.

That made Luo Bai nervous.

No matter how talented he might be, this was still his first time using a gun. Facing so many terrorists... could he really survive?!

"How much longer until his armor starts up?!" Luo Bai could not help asking. Right now, he desperately wanted Tony Stark to come save him.

"Probably another minute before it starts!" Yinsen answered.

One minute?!

By the time it was ready, he would be cold already!!

For the first time, Luo Bai felt that one minute was unbearably long.

It seemed impossible to rely on Tony Stark. For now, he could only rely on himself.

"No choice. Looks like we can only fight it out. Yinsen, when you see someone show themselves, shoot. Don't hesitate!" Luo Bai instructed.

He held his breath and gripped the gun in his hand tightly.

As the footsteps drew closer and closer, his grip on the gun tightened as well.

He was so nervous that he barely dared to breathe, his eyes fixed straight ahead in fear of missing anything.

The moment he saw the terrorists enter his line of sight, Luo Bai opened fire without another word, sweeping the area in front of him.

At the same time, the terrorists spotted Luo Bai and began firing at him.

Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat—

Gunshots echoed through the cave as bullets flew wildly in the blink of an eye.

Luo Bai did not actually think he had any chance of winning.

He even felt that, as a transmigrator, he might die right at the start.

So during the barrage, Luo Bai kept his eyes closed almost the entire time.

Only after he fired his last bullet did he finally stop shooting.

Then, to his surprise, he discovered that he was still alive?!

Luo Bai opened his eyes in delight.

It would have been better if he had not opened them. The moment he did, he was dumbfounded.

A pile of terrorists lay sprawled in the distance, and they all seemed to have stopped breathing.

Could it be that he had killed all those terrorists?!

He could not help turning to Dr. Yinsen for confirmation, but Dr. Yinsen's expression was even more spectacular than his.

After staring at him for a long while, Dr. Yinsen finally asked, "So many people were shooting at you, and you... weren't hurt at all?!"

Hurt?!

Luo Bai carefully checked himself over. After a moment, he answered, "No."

Dr. Yinsen: "..."

Damn!!

That was seriously insane!!

Dr. Yinsen had seen that chaotic gunfight clearly.

Seven or eight terrorists had opened fire on Luo Bai!

Yet they were all dead, while Luo Bai had not even scraped his skin?!

Even Dr. Yinsen himself had been shot twice in the arm and leg, but Luo Bai was completely fine??!

That wasn't scientific at all!!
