Great! I'm surrounded by villains!
Chapter 70: Batch 67

Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Batch 67

Someone had died.

This time it was real.

Tang Qianqian observed from a distance the guard who lay dead at the door of the small dark room, among whom were two familiar faces—the middle-aged man who had previously escorted Liu by the arm was now motionlessly lying on the ground, a sharp torture device embedded in his neck, his expression from before death still frozen on his face.

The wide-open eyes seemed to glare at her, causing Tang Qianqian to instinctively feel a strong discomfort.

This was the first time she had come into such close contact with a corpse; the dead guards, their dismembered bodies, and the blood-stained carpet laid out a path forward for them.

What was worse, the dead were all company employees.

That meant even if they could escape from the prison, they would still carry a hefty bounty on their heads.

"Jailbreak King Tang Qianqian, bounty 42 million Bei, dead or alive"

Posters like this would be displayed at the network and the gates of the community.

"If I say we weren’t Liu’s accomplices, do you think the company would believe us?"

Tang Qianqian asked tentatively to Jiuyue beside her.

This ruthless terrorist seemed to need no one’s aid. When the three of them stepped out of the small dark room, the guards who had heard the news and arrived were already turned into cold corpses, the constantly flashing red lights rendering the entire scene eerily unreal, just like those in action movies.

Jiuyue beside her did not answer the question; she was standing in front of a cell, observing through the barred window.

The room displayed four transparent containers filled with a bubbling liquid; the monsters inside had already lost consciousness and floated in the middle of the liquid, like lifeless things.

At least in this regard, Liu wasn’t wrong.

This place was unmistakably a large biochemical laboratory.

Before being packed and crated, they would undergo this process to ensure the goods remained quiet during transport and did not cause trouble. To use jargon more in line with the company’s style, they had developed a complete assembly line, each wave of packed goods having a corresponding batch number.

Jiuyue clenched her fists.

When Wangxu sent her this information, she agreed to his propose with no hesitation.

Apart from the company’s transport line, Wangxu had brought another piece of more important news.

Batch number 67.

This was the batch number of her parents when they were sent to the headquarters.

The sound of footsteps drawing near interrupted her thoughts, and the moment Tang Qianqian encountered a fully armed squad, she raised her hands over her head and shouted loudly, "We are innocents affected by the terrorist—"

Before she could finish, the muzzle spouted flames towards them.

Tang Qianqian’s body suddenly trembled; she hadn’t expected the guards to give them no chance to explain.

At such close range, facing such intense gunfire, there was no room to dodge!

Sorry, senior.

It seemed her hunter career was about to come to an end here.

Tang Qianqian instinctively pressed her back against the wall, but the anticipated pain did not come. When she looked at the guards again, what she saw was a scene she could not have imagined even in her dreams.

The precision firearms produced by the company in the guards’ hands had exploded.

The shock from the exploding chamber caused them to coincidentally aim at their comrades. Given the close range and the high-powered weapons, the aftermath could be imagined—the squad of guards silenced even without a chance to scream.

Limbs blown off by the impact, the remains of torsos left behind, and brains splattered on the walls...

This event, which theoretically had a probability of less than 0.1%, was now unfolding before their eyes, making the guards look as if they were so unlucky they had been targeted by the grim reaper himself.

What startled Tang Qianqian even more was that Jiuyue’s tail had multiplied.

She rubbed her eyes vigorously several times, ensuring that what she was seeing was not an illusion.

The opponent’s eyes, which were always gentle and amber-colored, had unexpectedly turned a sinister red. Tang Qianqian almost immediately thought of the words spoken by her senior after learning the truth about the flying vehicle’s crash.

There were two attackers.

Night Disaster and another with an ability highly similar to Night Disaster’s, though the conditions for activation were unknown.

"That member of Wangxu was not wrong, this place is no different from hell for monsters and people like you."

Jiuyue’s voice was so cold it made them feel alienated, as if just by making eye contact with those scarlet orbs for a moment longer, the world’s calamities would descend upon them.

Jiuyue pointed to a compartment by her side, "This is what happens when you end up in the company’s hands."

Packed into cargo containers, then transported to unknown destinations.

Rather than continue to serve as the nanny for Tang Qianqian and Yang Ping, she had more important matters to attend to.

Liu had mentioned that Bai Kou was already on her way. As the person in charge of the seventh category of energy projects, he must know where the 67th batch of cargo was sent.

She had to find out the whereabouts of the 67th batch of cargo, which was the purpose of her coming to Yunlong City.

With their strength, they still couldn’t reach heaven, but this time, someone from the upper world had come to the Mortal Realm.

"But one thing he got wrong."

Jiuyue walked forward, stepping over the blood and human remains without a glance, leaving a final piece of advice before disappearing around the corner, "Mr. Mingyuan has not abandoned you; he is also on his way here right now."

...

The alarm and gunfire continued to sound incessantly.

The silent Yang Ping gave Tang Qianqian a pat, "Qianqian, only those who live to get out can think about what comes after."

This place was not safe.

Back-up guards could arrive at any moment, and they had already been identified as accomplices to a jailbreak. If encountered, the guards would undoubtedly shoot at them without hesitation.

"Barrier..."

"Hmm?"

"Liu deliberately got himself caught to set up a barrier before Bai Kou arrived."

Tang Qianqian took a deep breath, then nearly retched due to the strong stench of blood. She forced herself to calm down and continued, "Their abilities are different; I just saw it, when the guards shot at him, the bullets seemed to deliberately avoid Liu’s body, while the weapons he threw always struck vital spots."

Night Disaster’s ability had been emphasized many times by their senior.

"This prison has become like those popcorn movies under his influence."

Every extra gunman turned into a master of human outlines, and within this barrier, Liu Wuyi had become the protagonist of the film.

The will to survive was taking over. Tang Qianqian’s brain was whirring into action.

At the Congyun Hotel, the senior had emphasized the importance of familiarizing themselves with the rules of the barrier. Now was the time to put theory into practice!

"His barrier was not set up to target us, which means the rules are neutral to us, we can turn these rules to our advantage."

She steadied herself, "The senior will definitely come to rescue us!"
