Walker looked down at Li Hang. âDo you really think I wonât kill you?â
âEven if you kill me, I wonât let you inside!â
âIs the Central Guards Brigade worth sacrificing your life for?â
âThis is my belief. Iâm willing to give up my life for it!â
âThen Iâll grant your wish!â
Walkerâs voice was cold as he lifted his other foot and aimed a brutal kick at Li Hangâs head.
In an instant, Li Hangâs mind went blank, and his grip on Walkerâs leg loosened slightly.
âGet out of the way, you nuisance.â
Thud!
Walker delivered another kick to Li Hangâs chest.
He sent him crashing into the iron door of the lab where he lay motionless on the ground, his condition unknown.
âTeam Leader Li!â
Ning Che staggered to her feet, stumbling as she rushed toward Walker.
She didnât know how long she could hold out.
She also did not how much time was left until Lin Yiâs experiment was over.
But she had no other choice now.
Even if it was just for one more second, she had to fight.
The Central Guards Brigade could not allow any foreigner to defile it!
Smack!
Walker reached out and gripped Ning Cheâs throat, slowly lifting her off the ground.
Her face turned red as she used both hands to grasp Walkerâs hand.
However, her struggle had no effect.
âDonât think I wonât kill you. Iâm only trying to avoid trouble.â
âIf you donât kill me, I wonât let you succeed!â
Both Ning Che and Lin Yi usually had a carefree attitude.
Even so, in her heart, the Central Guards Brigade remained sacred.
The safety and honor of her country were untouchable sanctities.
No one could violate them!
Even if it meant sacrificing her life!
Walkerâs face twisted with rage. âIf thatâs the case, Iâll grant your wish.â
In an instant, he tightened his grip.
Ning Cheâs face drained of color, her once oxygen-deprived red skin turning a deep purple.
Her legs kicked desperately in the air, trying to find something to push against.
However, there was no such opportunity.
In just a few seconds, Ning Che felt her consciousness fading.
The scene before her eyes doubled as if life itself was slipping away.
Beep, beepâ
Just as Ning Cheâs mind was about to surrender to oblivion, an alarm sounded.
Walkerâs heart skipped a beat as he instinctively turned his head and saw the red indicator light flashing on the door.
The sudden turn of events made Walker tense. He had no idea why this was happening.
Reacting on instinct, Walker released his grip. The woman in front of him was no longer a threat.
His priority now was to figure out what was going on.
Suddenly, the sound of electricity buzzed, and the door to the lab at the end of the corridor slowly began to open.
Lin Yi stood in the doorway, appearing in Walkerâs view.
âItâs you!â
Seeing Lin Yi, Walker was both shocked and surprised.
He had never expected Lin Yi to be here!
Nor did he anticipate that there would be anyone else beneath this secret laboratory.
âLin Yiâ¦â
Seeing him, a smile appeared on Ning Cheâs lips.
With Lin Yi here, there was hope!
âCan you still move?â
âJust barely.â
âTake them inside. Iâll handle this.â
âOkay.â
After a brief pause to gather her strength, Ning Che struggled to her feet.
Then, she began dragging Li Hang and Xu Lan back into the lab.
During this, Walker simply watched, not making any move to stop her.
His attention was entirely focused on Lin Yi.
It was their second meeting, but Walker noticed that Lin Yi felt completely different from the last time. It was as if he had transformed into someone else.
But this didnât make Walker panic.
He had reached B-class, while Lin Yi was still at C-class. The gap between them was a full tier, and killing Lin Yi would only take a bit more time.
âSo, youâve been hiding here all along. If Iâd known that, I wouldâve gone in and dragged you out earlier,â Walker sneered.
âIf I had known, I wouldâve come in and killed you first.â
âYou must be the one from Toyo,â Lin Yi said in a low voice.
âThatâs right,â Walker responded calmly.
âI came here with two goals: to destroy all your C-class serum research and to kill you. I thought Iâd have to find another opportunity after leaving today, but it seems God has given me the chance now. Iâll deal with you here and now.â
âI can assure you, youâre not walking out of here today. Youâd better start thinking about your last words.â
âNot walking out?â Walker scoffed.
âWith your C-class strength, you think you can stop me?â
âAgainst others, maybe not. But to kill you, Iâm more than enough.â
Without another word, Lin Yi charged at Walker.
The experiment had just ended, and his arms hadnât yet fully absorbed the power. Now, like a flood being unleashed, all that strength poured out.
At this moment, neither of them held anything back.
Even Walker had to be serious when facing Lin Yi.
They had fought once before in Toyo.
Walker knew better than to underestimate this man.
Though Lin Yi was only C-class, he was at the peak of it. Walker knew he had to give his full effort.
Their fight was raw and unembellishedâsimple, powerful punches exchanged in rapid succession.
Bang!
With a dull thud, both men were forced back several steps.
Walkerâs face showed shock.
He had already assessed Lin Yiâs abilities from their previous encounter.
He had been confident that with his current strength, defeating Lin Yi would be an easy task.
But to his surprise, Lin Yi had pushed him back in their very first exchange!
âWhat have you done to yourself? How could you improve this much in such a short time?!â
âImprovement?â Lin Yi said, his expression cold.
âThis is only the beginning.â
With those words, Lin Yi charged again.
At about two meters away, he leaped into the air, sending a kick straight at Walkerâs face.
But Walker was no amateur. He brought his hands together in front of his chest, catching Lin Yiâs leg mid-kick.
In an instant, Lin Yi twisted his waist, forcibly changing direction and disrupting Walkerâs balance.
As soon as they landed, Lin Yi spun on his left foot, whipping his right leg like a chain directly at Walker.
Thud!
Walker couldnât block in time and was sent flying by Lin Yiâs kick!
