Seeing eight dots on the screen heading towards him, Lin Yifan grabbed Nan Liangxiang's hand and ran towards the motorcycle.
"You... What are you doing, you brat!" Being suddenly grabbed by Lin Yifan was completely unexpected for Nan Liangxiang.
Lin Yifan was stunned for a moment, then let go of Nan Liangxiang's hand: "Right, why am I holding you? You two, hide quickly, hurry up!"
After shouting, Lin Yifan grabbed his backpack, hopped on the motorcycle, and sped away.
The roar of the engine echoed through the alley, leaving Nan Liangxiang and Takagi Saya standing there dumbfounded.
At this moment, Nan Liangxi raised her eyebrows, sensing something, and pulled Takagi Saya to hide on the side.
Not long after, a large group of轮回者 (wheelers) armed with guns and dressed more formally than regular soldiers flooded into the alley.
A bald, muscular man carried a general-purpose machine gun. He and his men all wore black steel masks with the emblem of the Arbiters, and were dressed in black combat suits that covered them from head to toe.
Takagi Saya, hiding on the side, widened her eyes and muttered, covering her mouth: "Terrorists..."
Nan Liangxiang made a gesture for silence to Takagi Saya, gripping her pistol tightly, feeling nervous. A six-shot revolver was no match for the fully armed terrorists.
"Really a mole, let him get away."
"No problem, another team is already surrounding him from the other side. Let's go." The bald, muscular man raised his hand and waved, leading seven subordinates forward.
When Lin Yifan sped onto the road, two vans suddenly appeared from the corner, blocking the road and stopping a large number of vehicles, including Lin Yifan.
The doors opened, and eight fully armed Arbiters rushed out, mercilessly shooting the panicked drivers and aiming their guns at Lin Yifan.
Lin Yifan quickly swerved the motorcycle, the carbon-iron frame skidding and sparks flying. He rolled several times and successfully hid under a large truck.
Enduring the pain of the abrasions, Lin Yifan, hiding under the truck, put on his bulletproof vest and knee pads. Leaning against the tire, he took out his P90 and cautiously peeked out.
The eight men in front held their guns steady, and the bald, muscular man and his men caught up, but they didn't fire, seemingly wanting to capture him alive.
"Damn it!" He aimed at the bald, muscular man and fired a burst, causing the eight men to immediately take cover behind the cars.
After firing at the bald, muscular man, Lin Yifan retreated back under the truck.
At this moment, several civilians who had gotten out of their cars were trembling and raising their hands: "Don't shoot, don't..."
Bang, bang, bang.
Several well-dressed office workers were killed on the spot. The eight men in front were responsible for clearing away the obstructive civilians.
A truck driver who had been shot crawled to Lin Yifan's side, a large dark red stain spreading on his blue T-shirt. He reached out, unable to speak from the pain.
Lin Yifan made a gesture for silence: "Don't move, don't let them notice you."
"It... it hurts..."
At this moment, a bullet flew by, and the truck driver's head exploded like a watermelon, his body convulsing instinctively.
"Damn it, I can't move, and I'm completely pinned down. Looks like... I have to use the Ghost Form." Lin Yifan put his gun back in his backpack, waiting for the bald, muscular man and his men to get closer before using the Ghost Form.
At this moment, on the other side, Nan Liangxiang emerged from her hiding place and ran towards the police car parked at the intersection. Opening the back seat, she took out her DSR-NO.1 police sniper rifle and looked back at Takagi Saya: "Can you drive?"
"Yes! But I don't have a driver's license."
"Let's not worry about that now!" Nan Liangxiang looked around, judging from the gunshots that the battle was nearby. She needed to find a vantage point.
After a quick look, Nan Liangxiang pointed to a billboard on a distant supermarket: "Let's go, take me there!"
The two got into the car, and Nan Liangxiang, holding her sniper rifle, picked up the radio: "Urgent report, in the vicinity of the second district, another shooting incident has occurred. This time, there are at least ten terrorists. Request immediate dispatch of a rapid response team, repeat..."
Takagi Saya drove the police car at high speed towards the supermarket, stopping at the entrance. Nan Liangxiang, holding her sniper rifle, jumped out of the car and said before leaving: "Drive away, stay far from here, understand?"
"But... what about him?" Takagi Saya looked at the distant street where the gunfire was intense.
"Protecting children is the job of adults." Nan Liangxiang grinned, revealing her silver teeth, and hurriedly climbed up to the supermarket's upper floor, using the escalator to reach the billboard, setting up her rifle and aiming at the distant street.
At this moment, Lin Yifan, hiding under the large truck, took a deep breath and held his breath, listening to the approaching footsteps, preparing to use the Ghost Form.
A dull sniper shot rang out, and a wheeler beside the bald, muscular man screamed and fell.
"Tch, missed, he even has a bulletproof vest." Nan Liangxiang looked up, then continued aiming with her left eye closed.
"Scatter, there's a sniper!"
The sixteen wheelers immediately ran to blind spots, and the one who was hit was dragged to a corner by his comrades.
Seeing them all huddled together, Lin Yifan saw an opportunity, drew his P90, and crawled out from under the truck, firing a burst at the three or four wheelers huddled together.
Nan Liangxiang, who was aiming, was surprised to see Lin Yifan with a gun and bulletproof vest, but now wasn't the time to worry about that. She needed to take out the terrorists first.
She pulled the trigger, and a bullet hit a wheeler who was about to shoot at Lin Yifan.
Lin Yifan glanced at the fallen wheeler, guessing that Nan Liangxiang was helping him.
Without hesitation, after emptying a magazine, he immediately rolled under a nearby car.
For a moment, neither side dared to move, and the situation was at a stalemate.
Feeling that this was not in their favor, the bald, muscular man shouted: "Grenade launcher!"
A wheeler picked up a revolver-type grenade launcher and aimed it at Lin Yifan.
"Damn, they have a grenade launcher that costs tens of thousands! Are they really newbies?" Hearing the words "grenade launcher," Lin Yifan immediately fled.
The red car he had just been hiding behind was now in pieces.
Bang, bang, bang!
37mm grenades, as thick as small teacups, exploded on the street, shattering glass and sending metal shards flying, and setting cars on fire.
"There he is!"
When Lin Yifan emerged from behind the car and entered their line of sight, they immediately adjusted their guns.
Lin Yifan used all his strength to roll behind a large truck, just in time to see a grenade blow a large hole in a container.
Taking advantage of the pause, Lin Yifan lay on the ground, panting heavily. Even in Ghost Form, being hit by a grenade would leave him half-dead, despite the strong recovery ability during Ghost Form.
What kind of people were these? A regular soldier would be lucky to have Lin Yifan's equipment.
Looking at Yao Ling and Liu Ming, both were regular soldiers but only had a few old guns.
They had never been part of the wheeler circle or had any contact with wheeler organizations, so Lin Yifan couldn't imagine what this infinite city was like.
But now, it didn't seem to be a fair place. Even as regular soldiers, the equipment gap was huge.
This wasn't a traditional infinite world.
The wheelers were cunning, hiding in shops and other blind spots, making it impossible for Nan Liangxiang to support Lin Yifan unless she circled around to another direction.
At this moment, Nan Liangxiang was aiming when she suddenly noticed the space on the street beginning to distort, the sky changing color, and several dimensional gates appearing.
"What... What is this... Aliens? Space beings?"
Nan Liangxiang, lying on the scaffold, was speechless as eight people appeared out of nowhere from the dimensional gates!
And Lin Yifan, who was closest to the dimensional gate, watched as eight people emerged, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Sixteen people could now become more? Another team of reinforcements, and this time he really couldn't escape!
The situation was getting worse, and just as Lin Yifan was about to make a move, he saw the half-face emerging from the dimensional gate.
The person also wore a mask, but it was different from the Arbiters' emblem!
The newly arrived wheelers looked down at Lin Yifan, who was lying next to the large truck, and raised a hand to signal a ceasefire: "This is a Steel Front group hunt. Unrelated personnel, evacuate immediately."
