Chapter 2089: Chapter 2089: This is the Central Guards Brigade! How dare you cause trouble here?!

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Many people have said that the Central Guards Brigade in Yanjing is impenetrable, and now I see they weren’t wrong.”

“That’s why you need to finish your business as quickly as possible,” Fang Jing said.

“As I mentioned before, you only have thirty minutes. If it takes longer than that, I’ll leave on my own.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t need that much time. Once I’m inside, I’ll burn everything. Ten minutes should be enough.”

“How you handle it is your business; it has nothing to do with me.”

Walker smiled. “I think the time is about right. We can start now.”

“Let’s go.”

…

At 2 a.m., in the underground laboratory on the third floor of the research institute, the experiment was still ongoing.

Lin Yi’s experiment had yet to conclude.

“It seems like we’re almost there. How do you feel now?”

“It feels numb and swollen, but it’s manageable.”

“Because the process has gone on for so long, you’re experiencing a tingling sensation,” Li Hang explained.

“But the main reason is that the muscles in your arms have been further activated, leading to expansion and deformation, which is causing this sensation.”

“Expansion?”

“Yes. After the experiment ends, your arm muscles will swell, but in two or three days, they’ll return to normal. This is proof that your potential has been activated.”

“Understood.”

“Team Leader Lin, hold on a bit longer. In about half an hour, the experiment will be over,” Xu Lan said.

“No problem. I usually stay up late anyway, so I’m used to this.”

“That’s not a good habit,” Li Hang chuckled. “You may still be young, but you should take care of your health.”

“Living healthy is not an option for me. I’ll just focus on conserving my energy.”

“Haha, with a face like yours, I can see why.”

Xu Lan, standing nearby, rolled her eyes.

These men sure were something.

They were completely oblivious to her presence.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Just as Lin Yi and Li Hang were about to continue their conversation, an alarm suddenly went off, and a red light on the wall began flashing.

“Huh? What’s going on?”

“It looks like someone entered,” Li Hang said, frowning.

“Normally, at this time, only the four of us should be able to come in, right?” Lin Yi asked.

“Could it be Elder Lu or Elder Liang?”

“They’re both so old. If they wanted to come, they’d have done so during the day, not at this hour,” Lin Yi quipped.

“Messing around at this time of night is a quick way to meet an early end.”

“I’ll go check it out.”

The sudden alarm heightened the group’s alertness.

However, no one seemed overly concerned.

After all, this was the Central Guards Brigade. Who would dare intrude without cause?

Xu Lan walked out of the room, and all three men directed their gaze toward the door, waiting to hear what was going on.

Ah!

Then, out of nowhere, they heard a scream.

And then, silence.

“That was Little Xu’s voice!”

The three exchanged uneasy glances. Sensing something was wrong, Ning Che quickly said,

“You two stay here. I’ll check it out!”

“I’m coming with you!” Li Hang insisted.

“I may be a researcher, but I’m still at E-class, and there are guns in the lab. If something goes wrong, I can help.”

“Alright!”

“I’ll come too!” Lin Yi volunteered.

“No!”

Li Hang immediately objected. “Even though this experiment isn’t dangerous, once it starts, it can’t be interrupted. Stopping it now could cause irreversible harm to your body, possibly even life-threatening consequences. No matter what, you have to see it through to the end!”

“Don’t worry. We’ll handle this.”

Ning Che reassured him, before rushing out with Li Hang.

Li Hang grabbed a gun from a hidden compartment and dashed out of the lab.

As soon as they stepped outside, they saw a man wearing a mask standing in the hallway.

Next to him lay Xu Lan, unconscious but seemingly unharmed.

Ning Che instinctively stepped back and assumed a fighting stance, ready to strike at any moment.

Even though the man wore a mask and hat, several details hinted that he was likely a foreigner.

“You must be from that mysterious organization,” Ning Che muttered.

Walker’s face darkened.

He had hoped to come at a time when no one would be around, but it seemed fate had other plans.

But now that he had made it this far, there was no turning back.

“I don’t think you need to know these details. Since you’ve seen me, you’re all going to die.”

Without holding back, Walker lunged at Ning Che with lightning speed.

Ning Che’s expression changed dramatically.

She realized his strength far exceeded her expectations.

He must have already reached B-class!

In terms of power, there was no way she could defeat him. Her only option was to wear him down until Lin Yi’s experiment ended, so the two of them could take him on together.

Just then, Walker charged forward.

He launched a powerful kick right at Ning Che’s face.

Ning Che swiftly dodged back, raising her arms to block.

But Walker’s strength was overwhelming, far beyond what Ning Che could handle.

With just one basic attack, he sent her flying several meters away!

“C-class?” Walker sneered.

“For someone at your level, you must be a team leader in the Central Guards Brigade. But honestly, you’re pretty weak. I’ll send both you and your friend to meet your maker today.”

With that, Walker launched another attack.

But this time, he didn’t succeed!

Bang!

A gunshot rang out as Li Hang pulled the trigger.

Li Hang knew that with his E-class skills, he wouldn’t be much help in a fight of this caliber.

The only thing he could rely on was the gun in his hand.

It was his best chance to create an opening for Ning Che!

Realizing the danger, Walker abandoned his attack and dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the bullet.

“Team Leader Li, don’t worry about him. Sound the alarm!” Ning Che shouted.

“Are you sure you can handle him alone?”

“I can’t defeat him, but I can buy some time!”

“Hang in there, Team Leader Ning!”

Li Hang wasn’t one to hesitate. From the moment he joined the Central Guards Brigade, he had been prepared for this.

The mission was more important than life!

Li Hang didn’t waste any more time and sprinted toward the alarm system.

Walker knew that if they raised the alarm, he would be finished. There would be no chance of survival. So, he immediately rushed toward Li Hang.

But at that moment, Ning Che sprang up and charged directly at Walker.

“This is the Central Guards Brigade! How dare you cause trouble here?!”
