Angel?

Thanks to Hua? for the 1,000 Qidian coin tip. Hearing Kaplan's words, the mercenary captain nervously called to everyone in the corridor, "Everyone, stay calm and stay where you are!"

Zheng Zha went cold all over when he heard that. He knew the plot had begun, and he had become part of it. Sure enough, the lights on the two walls directly opposite them suddenly dimmed.

A thin laser beam appeared between the glass walls, filling him with terror.

With a sizzle, the thin laser beam swept swiftly toward them.

"Get down! Get down, now!"

His nerves stretched to the breaking point, the mercenary captain shouted at once and threw two of his teammates to the floor. Zheng Zha, who had been standing nearby, knew the plot and had dropped to the floor the moment the thin laser beam appeared.

That left only the medic and Ye Siyu standing in the corridor.

The medic's attention was still fixed on the closed entrance. When she noticed the disturbance behind her and turned around, she saw the thin laser beam sweeping rapidly toward her from the rear!

But just then, Ye Siyu, standing beside him, shoved the medic to the floor with his right hand. His expression was utterly calm.

"Stay with me, you're going into shock! Stay with me! Medic! Medic!"

The medic had been lucky enough to be saved by Ye Siyu from the first thin laser beam, but one of the mercenaries the captain had tackled was not so fortunate. As he fell, he had reflexively raised his right hand, and the beam had sliced off four of his fingers!

The captain's shouting was futile. The pain of having four fingers severed was more than the mercenary could bear.

After a few gasps, the mercenary quickly went into shock from the agony. He might still have been all right if someone had given him first aid afterward, but in the present situation, it would be hard for him not to die.

"Sir, another laser is coming!!" shouted the teammate on the captain's other side.

Sizzle!

A thin laser beam formed at roughly leg height and swept swiftly toward them.

"Everyone, get down!" Ye Siyu's voice rang out. He sprang from the floor like a leopard toward the captain and the two other mercenaries ahead of him. Sweeping the axe in his right hand, he knocked the captain and another mercenary who was about to jump up to the floor.

With his left hand, he grabbed the unconscious mercenary lying on the floor and pulled him behind him. At the same time, he leaned back and pushed off with his right leg, knocking the medic, who was about to stand up, to the floor beneath him.

In just a few seconds, Ye Siyu had single-handedly forced all the mercenaries to the floor by various means.

The instant Ye Siyu finished, the thin laser beam at leg height suddenly rose. If Ye Siyu had not just forced those people down, that one laser would have killed most of the people in the corridor.

Once the laser had passed, the mercenaries, who had been ready to curse Ye Siyu for tackling them, all looked at him gratefully. If not for him, they might really have died.

But just as they were about to thank Ye Siyu, the end of the corridor darkened again, and the sizzling sounded once more. A third laser was forming.

A new thin laser beam formed in the middle of the room and swept swiftly toward them.

Seeing the laser, the mercenaries looked toward Ye Siyu, who stood at the front. After the previous two lasers, Ye Siyu had become their anchor, whether for the mercenaries or for Zheng Zha, the reincarnator. They had all placed their hopes in him.

With a sizzle,

the laser swept swiftly toward them. At the same time, countless beams appeared in different directions, instantly forming a deadly laser grid. At the sight of the grid, everyone's heart trembled. They had not expected the thin laser beams to form a grid this time, leaving them nowhere to hide.

Just as the laser formed a grid and was about to reach Ye Siyu, he said softly, "Red Queen, if I die, the bombs I planted throughout the Hive will explode. Then the things inside the Hive will spread outside."

The moment Ye Siyu finished speaking, the laser stopped a little over ten centimeters away from him, evidently shaken by his words. But in less than three seconds, it resumed sweeping toward him.

But when the laser grid came within one centimeter of Ye Siyu, it suddenly vanished, and a faint wave of heat washed over his face.

"Hahaha!"

"We're not dead!"

"Hahaha! We're alive! We're alive!"

"Thank you! Thank you!"

After the laser grid vanished, everyone behind Ye Siyu looked relieved to have survived and gazed at him as though he were an angel. Zheng Zha in particular was visibly emotional and kept thanking him.

Hiss! As everyone rejoiced at having survived, Kaplan finally broke through the Flame Queen's defenses, and the doors at both ends of the corridor opened at once.

As the doors opened, the mercenaries immediately carried their unconscious teammate out. They were terrified that if they were a little too slow, the corridor doors would close again and the frightening lasers would cut them to pieces.

Once outside, the medic dressed the injured mercenary's wounds, while the captain spoke to Kaplan, telling him to find out exactly what had happened. Zheng Zha, meanwhile, was surrounded by Zhan Lan and the others, who asked him about the situation.

"You're impressive." As Ye Siyu strolled out of the corridor, Zhang Jie gave him a long, solemn look and spoke with a trace of killing intent in his voice.

Ye Siyu said nothing in response. His expression remained as impassive as it had been at the start, completely unmoved.

When the mercenary captain saw Ye Siyu come out, he walked up to him with an emotional look, took his hand, and thanked him. "I'm sorry I didn't trust you earlier. You saved the lives of my team, and I won't forget it."

"I was only saving myself. Also, I've remembered some things about the inside of the Hive, so please have your two teammates outside come back. It's very dangerous out there," Ye Siyu said indifferently in response to the captain's thanks.
