Though he was being stabbed, Zero one's face did not change in the slightest. He immediately swept his leg at Yun Lintian, making the latter retreat several steps.
Zero one glanced at a wound on his rib area expressionlessly before turning toward Yun Lintian with killing intent in his eyes.
"Hah!" He stomped on the ground, and his entire body instantly turned into a shadowy figure as he charged toward Yun Lintian.
The expressions of Yun Lintian and Xia Yao changed drastically. Zero one's speed had suddenly increased to the point their eyes could not capture him.
Yun Lintian instinctively pushed Xia Yao away and received Zero one's attack with his arm. With a bang, Yun Lintian felt his arm bones were likely to be cracked. If there was another attack, they would definitely break.
Even though Yun Lintian was forced to retreat, he still tried to counterattack by thrusting the knife at Zero one's fist. What he did not expect was that the knife was actually broken apart upon touching Zero one's fist.
Yun Lintian's face turned ashen immediately as he threw the broken knife away and tried his best to avoid a set of punches and kicks from Zero one.
Xia Yao didn't stand idle either. She aimed the gun at Zero one and fired a few shots. Unfortunately, the bullets either shaved Zero's skins off or completely missed the target. They could not harm him at all.
"Legs. Aim at his legs!" Yun Lintian shouted in difficulty.
Xia Yao responded in almost an instant and shot toward Zero one's legs. It was as Yun Lintian had expected. Because Zero one had to avoid the bullets while he was kicking at Yun Lintian. His balance immediately went off, causing him to stagnate backward.
Yun Lintian's eyes lit up. He hastily grabbed another gun from his vest and shot at Zero one's legs. The bullets were successfully hit Zero one's thigh, but they weren't enough to take him down as he sprang backward, retreating into the tunnel and disappearing from Yun Lintian's line of sight.
"His weakness is his body control. Perhaps he just came out of the lab." Yun Lintian said.
Xia Yao took a deep breath and said. "We don't know how many they are."
Yun Lintian understood her concern. If there were a lot of Zero one out there, the world would definitely turn upside down.
"How's your injury?" Xia Yao asked concernedly. Her gaze swept over Yun Lintian from head to toe.
Yun Lintian shook his head. "It's not much." He looked around for a moment and said. "Since we cannot go out, we can only go forward. I don't know what will happen next, but if the situation is not good. Promise me. You have to run away, alright?"
Xia Yao felt warm in her heart, but she resolutely shook her head. "Don't treat me like a delicate woman you've encountered before. If we want to run, we have to run together… No negotiation."
Yun Lintian's mouth moved a few times, and no word came out in the end. Xia Yao's resolute attitude rendered Yun Lintian helpless, and he could only accept her terms. "Alright. Let's follow that guy."
Just as Yun Lintian was about to move, Xia Yao suddenly grabbed his arm and pulled him closer. She used another hand to lock his neck and stamped her lips on Yun Lintian's.
Yun Lintian was startled for a moment and quickly responded to her with his arms around her waist.
It was as though time had frozen, Yun Lintian and Xia Yao were immersed in the world of love without noticing someone was watching this scene with hatred.
In the control room, Donkey glared at the scene with jealousy. He wanted to replace Yun Lintian and push the peerless woman down.
Reaper frowned slightly and said. "So there's a flaw."
Donkey reluctantly retracted his gaze from the monitor and turned to Reaper with some dissatisfactions. "Of course there is. This is Zero one's first battle, after all. And this Cloud is not an ordinary fighter. You should know about it more than me."
"Can it use a weapon?" Reaper ignored Donkey's bad mood and asked.
Donkey replied impatiently. "As I told you, he just came out a while ago. Where can I find time to teach him?"
Reaper's eyes flashed with a cold light. He reached out to grab Donkey's neck and lifted him up. "Do your job properly. Otherwise, I don't mind sending you to hell."
Donkey was shivering all over and tried to get out of Reaper's grasp. He hurriedly said. "I'm sorry. I'm just losing my temper! Please, spare me!"
Reaper stared straight into Donkey's eyes as though he were looking at his soul. He threw Donkey away and turned to the operator. "Open the path for them."
The operator did not dare to neglect. He quickly pressed the buttons on the control panel.
At this moment, Xia Yao got off of Yun Lintian's embrace and lowered her head shyly. She started to blame herself for being impulsive.
Seeing this, Yun Lintian grinned and teased. "You are shy now?"
Xia Yao punched Yun Lintian and retorted. "Don't tease me. Hurry up. We need to move now." Following that, she strode forward without waiting for Yun Lintian.
Looking at his beloved woman's back, Yun Lintian's mind couldn't help drifting to the distant future when they got married. A moment later, he shook his head and laughed at himself. How could he think about it in this situation?
Yun Lintian quickly followed Xia Yao closely while holding the gun tightly.
Creak! Kkk….Bang!
Suddenly, Yun Lintian and Xia Yao heard a loud bang coming from the lab's direction that they had been there earlier.
They glanced at each other and headed in that direction without hesitation.
When they arrived, the previously tightly closed floor was now opened widely, inviting them to go down.
Yun Lintian approached the hole cautiously and glanced downward. A white room lab immediately came into his vision. There was a lot of equipment in the room, but not a single person could be seen.
"I'll go down first. You wait here." Yun Lintian made a decision. Even though he knew it was a trap, he was confident he could deal with it.
This time, Xia Yao wasn't stubborn as before. She nodded her head and expressed her concern. "Be careful. I'd follow you down immediately if something happened."
Yun Lintian nodded and threw the rope down.
