Chapter 244: Clearing Out
Chapter 244: Clearing Out
Wu Bei's urgent voice echoed in Chen Chuan's ears, "They're all coming for you."
Through Chen Chuan's Boundary Token, he could see the layout of the entire building, and the figures inside were all moving out of their rooms, some rushing towards him.
They moved swiftly, and as Chen Chuan turned and headed outside, chaotic footsteps could already be heard. When he reached the corridor leading to the hallway, smoke grenades and paralysis grenades were thrown in his direction.
Chen Chuan glanced at them, and in an instant, his Second Self merged with his body. He charged forward, carrying a gust of wind, and before the paralysis and smoke grenades hit the ground, he swept them back with a powerful motion.
Outside, he scanned the area, spotting six individuals spread out around the corridor. They raised their guns, aiming in his direction. Chen Chuan casually flicked his wrist, and in a few flashes of his Xuejun Blade, he glided past them.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
The smoke and paralysis grenades finally landed, and before the individuals could react, they were engulfed in a wave of explosions and smoke.
Wu Bei witnessed the biocentric field signals flashing in that area, and then, all the life auras in the hallway suddenly weakened. He couldn't detect them anymore, and he shivered in place, his expression filled with shock.
After a long pause, he regained his composure and excitedly transmitted the biological field signals of the others to Chen Chuan's Boundary Token.
Chen Chuan had already reached the fifth floor, where a Resonator was constantly attempting to interfere with and disrupt his Boundary Token. Although Wu Bei had blocked the attacks, the constant flashing light indicated that he was under assault.
There was a guard here, who immediately drew his gun upon seeing Chen Chuan.
Chen Chuan's gaze remained calm, and indeed, it seemed that anyone in the Central City could have a gun. Only Wu Yi trainees would not have a weapons permit, as that would require long-term authorization.
With a swift twist of his wrist, the blade of the Xuejun Blade flashed, and the two individuals with implant armor were instantly beheaded, their bodies collapsing at the entrance.
He proceeded into a spacious and luxurious main hall, then reached a tightly locked door. His Boundary Token indicated that the source of the attacks was within. He reached out, turned the doorknob, and pushed the door open, but he didn't enter immediately. A series of gunshots rang out from inside.
He patiently waited at the doorway, and in the instant the gunshots ceased, he took a step forward, facing the door. He flicked a pebble with his finger, and with a 'pa' sound, the Resonator's head exploded.
Without a second glance, he calmly closed the door and walked away, holding the Xuejun Blade.
At this moment, the security team patrolling the building had been alerted and rushed into the building. One team guarded the elevator while another team charged up the stairs.
However, the Resonator supporting them had been taken down by Chen Chuan, so Wu Bei had secretly adjusted Chen Chuan's location.
As a result, when the security team was rushing forward, Chen Chuan, who was supposed to be on the fourth floor according to their markers, suddenly appeared in front of them. When they saw each other, the distance between them was less than three meters.
The leading security captain was startled, but his long-term rigorous training kicked in, and he reacted swiftly. Instead of using his gun, he abandoned his center of gravity and charged at Chen Chuan with all his might.
In his mind, his weight and the equipment he carried would be enough to knock Chen Chuan off balance. Then, his teammates would quickly assist, either restraining Chen Chuan or using their handguns to blow up his head at close range!
Chen Chuan's gaze remained calm and steady. He lifted his hand and casually waved it to the side.
With a loud boom, the security captain, over two meters tall and weighing more than two hundred kilograms, was effortlessly pushed aside like a stuffed toy. He was pressed into the wall, shattering the bricks and creating a spiderweb of cracks. His entire body sank into the wall.
Chen Chuan flicked his blade, sending another security member flying. The man collided with the wall and bounced back, blocking the path of the team behind him, causing chaos.
Chen Chuan lowered his center of gravity slightly and lifted his foot, crashing through the group. In that instant, they were like vehicles on a highway, slamming into each other. The tightly packed group was sent flying, crashing into the outer walls and ceiling.
With a loud thud, Chen Chuan halted his momentum. The bricks beneath him cracked, and the security members who had been on the walls and ceiling fell to the ground.
The security team below, deceived by Wu Bei's false information, continued to charge upwards. One member reached the hallway stairs and spotted Chen Chuan, immediately drawing his gun.
But before he could fire, the tip of the Xuejun Blade pierced his shoulder. Chen Chuan extended his hand, pushing the gun away, and then, with the blade tip pressing against the man, he forced him to retreat down the stairs, while the security personnel behind him scattered.
Chen Chuan retreated to the corner, and as he turned, he swung his blade, and a head flew off. In that moment, he exerted his strength.
With a whoosh, a security guard leaped forward, attempting to apprehend the man mid-air. But before he could, Chen Chuan extended his hand and, with a snap, grabbed the man by the collar, halting his movement mid-air with his feet still dangling.
Chen Chuan then flung the man aside, slamming him against the stone wall of the staircase, which crumbled under the impact, leaving the man lying motionless.
After dealing with these two, Chen Chuan descended the stairs, and none of the security guards dared to approach him. They aimed their guns at him nervously, watching him leave.
Wu Bei's adrenaline surged as he witnessed this. The security team hired by the Golden Shrimp Company to protect its assets was no pushover, including first and second-limit fighters. Yet, they couldn't stop Chen Chuan's advance.
Chen Chuan had now reached the second floor. He scanned the area and spotted a man wearing a baseball cap with a sinister expression standing there.
Chen Chuan recognized the man's face; he was the real murderer who had killed Xiao Man and Chong Dage. Upon seeing Chen Chuan, the man's eyes narrowed, and he slowly backed away a few steps before sprinting outside.
Chen Chuan stood still, drawing his Wu Ji Spear from his trench coat and firing several shots at the man. The man's legs were instantly shattered, and he involuntarily knelt on the ground. But he quickly propped himself up against the wall, still trying to crawl away.
Chen Chuan approached him slowly, raising his hand and gently patting the man's forehead. A series of crisp clicks emanated from the man's body.
From his skull to his spine and throughout his entire body, the man's bones were penetrated by a powerful force and shattered instantly. He collapsed like a soft, unsupported mud, but he didn't die immediately. His flesh and skin sagged, and even his head and face became distorted.
At that moment, Wu Bei's voice sounded urgent again, "Chen Xiao Ge, the main members of the Golden Shrimp team have received the news and are heading your way. Should we leave?"
Chen Chuan replied, "No need to leave. I'll wait for them."
Wu Bei's excitement grew, "Good, I'll think of something. We can't let them know the situation yet."
After saying this, he quickly accessed the company's network and identified the regular communication records. He swiftly determined which individuals had connections with the outsiders and used their boundary tokens to send out several misleading messages.
On a road not far from the Golden Shrimp building, a sleek Keshell brand car was driving, followed by several security vehicles.
The commander-in-chief of the Golden Shrimp commission team, Jing Li, was leading his team towards the company.
It was still during the annual leave period, so the team headquarters only had a few on-duty personnel and the security team. The team's elite members were mostly with Jing Li.
Jing Li's eyes became sharper after hearing about the attack on the company's premises, but he remained cautious. He instructed the resonator who was with him:
"Check the identity of the attackers."
The resonator soon reported the findings, "They are students from an unknown martial arts school. Previously, one of their friends was killed by our people."
Wu Bei had prepared this false information while on the way to the Golden Shrimp building with Chen Chuan and Lao Qi. Now, they used it to mislead the team, demonstrating the advantage of being well-prepared.
Moreover, Chen Chuan's actions had Wu Bei feeling incredibly energized. Every cell in his body was buzzing with excitement, and he was ready to engage in any operation, eager to compete with the team's resonator.
Jing Li asked, "Can you confirm their identity?"
"Yes, they should have a resonator too. That's why the messages from the building were delayed, but the skill level is not impressive."
Within ten minutes, Jing Li's convoy arrived at the base of the building. Apart from his team, other company personnel had also gathered upon hearing the news, totaling over a dozen vehicles.
As the vehicles came to a stop, Jing Li and the core members of the Golden Shrimp team emerged from their cars.
There were sixteen of them, each wearing stab-resistant vests and equipped with military-grade implants. Every one of them held an assault rifle, a testament to Jing Li's investment in his team.
With these members, even if other team members died, they could always recruit more.
Jing Li turned towards the first-floor lobby, about to order his team to enter, when a figure appeared in the flickering light and shadows. The figure became clearer, revealing a young man holding a long sword, wearing a trench coat, and draped in a scarf. He slowly walked out of the building.
Jing Li commanded, "Fire!"
Without hesitation, the team members raised their guns and fired towards the entrance from the square.
"Bang, bang, bang..." Countless gunshots echoed from the square.
Chen Chuan didn't dodge. He simply raised his hand to block, standing firmly in place. The bullets that hit him slid off harmlessly.
After the barrage of gunfire ceased, Chen Chuan slowly lowered his hand, and bullets dropped from his protective gloves, clinking on the floor tiles.
"At least a level three protective armor..."
Jing Li's expression changed; something was off about this situation!
