Chapter 20

Danger!

Facing the Gatling M197's sweeping fire in this narrow ventilation duct, Ye Yun thought it would be hard not to be shredded into pieces!

Although he was both shocked and furious at Xu Yanan's actions and terrified of the impending death, Ye Yun remained calm at this moment.

The first thing he thought of was the ten Metal Storms around him.

"Would Vulture really dare to fire in such an environment?"

"Even if he dares to take out his gun, it's not because CT is afraid of him suddenly opening fire. In this situation, what they should fear most is an accidental discharge!"

"Wait, Xu Yanan's voice was very loud, the CT team should have heard it too, so Vulture took out his gun..."

A flash of insight, Ye Yun instantly understood everything!

"So it's like this!"

"Both the Vulture from the T team and the person operating the Metal Storms behind the loudspeaker in the CT team are extremely cunning and ruthless!"

Ye Yun had a clear picture in his mind, outlining the cause, process, and conclusion of the events:

"From the dialogue between the two sides, what they are currently fighting over is that drop of blood... or rather, the bloodline."

"The main reason for this major incident is the uneven distribution of resources between the two sides!"

"CT has the Ame-no-Murakumo sword containing the drop of blood, and T has the 'high-sensitivity levitation test tube' that can store the blood after it is extracted. Only when these two are combined can the bloodline be preserved for a long time!"

"To use that drop of blood, it seems to require a certain method or machine, and the process is undoubtedly very complicated, which is why it needs to be stored."

"CT must know that T has what they want, so they set this trap, using billions of jewels and the lives of countless tycoons to forcibly set up a 'major event mission' to lure the bandits into the trap!"

"This is the background of the entire major event!"

"The reason Vulture now dares to take out the Gatling and aim it at the survivor—Xu Yanan, who made the noise—is because Vulture is certain that the CT team will not attack him for this, but will instead turn a blind eye to his slaughter of the survivor!"

"The only reason CT would turn a blind eye to Vulture killing the survivor is... they don't want their conspiracy to be exposed by the survivor!"

"Even if Vulture is sure the other side won't attack him, does he really need to use a Gatling to kill one survivor?"

"The answer is, absolutely not!"

"So his intention is..."

In a flash, Ye Yun had a plan. Although it was risky, it was the only way to save his life at the moment!

The Gatling M197 needs five seconds to spin up before firing, and three seconds had already passed.

Without hesitation, Ye Yun kicked open the ventilation duct and used the metal sheet to shield his body as he rolled out into the hall!

Ye Yun's suicidal behavior stunned the four Vultures. Before they could react, they saw the guy who landed actually run straight toward one of the Metal Storms.

Vulture's face lit up with joy, muttering to himself that heaven was on his side. He immediately lowered the muzzle of the Gatling, and the bullet holes followed Ye Yun's heels!

Ye Yun ran for his life, the high attributes giving him a significant speed boost. His body was low, agile and swift like a cheetah chasing an antelope on the African savannah, closing the ten-meter distance to the nearest Metal Storm in an instant!

As his face was about to touch the front of the Metal Storm, Ye Yun pushed off the ground with even more force, leaping up to the top of the 1.7-meter-high Metal Storm, then flipping over and running even faster along the wall!

Just a few meters into his run, the Metal Storm was torn apart and exploded by the large-caliber bullets from the Gatling!

"Ah, ah, ah, ah!" Vulture roared, seemingly angry that he didn't instantly kill the 'little thief' and almost wishing he could turn the kid into minced meat in the next second. However, his movements with the Gatling were deliberately slow, being extra careful not to accidentally harm the kid.

Ye Yun was truly running for his life, using every ounce of strength he had. His face was flushed red from the strong blood flow, and the veins on his forehead were almost bursting.

But he didn't dare to slow down!

Not because he was afraid that Vulture's bullets would catch up to him if he slowed down, but because if he delayed too long, the CT team hiding behind the loudspeaker might realize what was happening and immediately activate the Metal Storms to tear everything in the hall to shreds!

That's right! Vulture's goal from the beginning was not the survivors, but to use this as an excuse to take out his gun, sweep the survivors, and then suddenly turn to destroy the surrounding ten Metal Storms!

A ruthless bandit would never entrust his fate to the mercy of the enemy. Both Ye Yun and Vulture understood that they were now up against the entire state apparatus, and every second of delay would exponentially increase the danger.

So even if it was dangerous, Vulture had to take a desperate risk to destroy a few Metal Storms and find a chance to escape.

Ye Yun was also risking his life, betting that he had correctly guessed Vulture's intentions and turning himself into a decoy... to provoke the CT team's desire to kill the survivors and deliberately run past the Metal Storms to give Vulture the opportunity to destroy them. The CT team would assume Vulture's bullets were chasing the survivor and would not activate the Metal Storms. If five out of the ten Metal Storms were destroyed, Vulture's chances of survival would greatly increase!

Ye Yun's desperate actions significantly increased Vulture's chances of survival, so before destroying all the Metal Storms, Vulture would never allow Ye Yun to die at his hands!

But their crisis was not over, as the CT team could wake up at any moment and guess Vulture's plan, forcing them to activate the Metal Storms!

Everything had to be fast! Fast! Fast!

The hall was only about a thousand square meters, and with Ye Yun's current attributes, it didn't take long to circle the entire area. In just over forty seconds, Ye Yun had already circled eight of the Metal Storms, and each of these deadly weapons had been shattered by the Gatling!

Smoke filled the hall, making it almost impossible to see. The walls were riddled with bullet holes, and the once luxurious decorations were now shattered and scattered, turning the room into a scene of blood and carnage.

The gold and silver were either blackened by the flames or stained red by the blood, no longer resembling their original forms.

However, just as Vulture was expecting the 'clever' kid to continue running to the ninth Metal Storm, Ye Yun suddenly stopped!

He stopped completely, without the slightest hesitation, as if there was no chain of bullets chasing him, and as if he hadn't considered whether he would be shredded by bullets in the next second!

His sudden stop really scared Vulture. Just as he was feeling triumphant, he didn't expect the kid to suddenly stop. His heart tightened, and he instinctively raised the gun, the bullets drawing a rising line on the wall beside Ye Yun.

Vulture almost cursed, but the man was not as rash as he appeared. His ability to think on his feet was evident from the moment he heard the survivor's voice and deduced the subsequent actions.

So he quickly turned to look at the wall behind him, where a camera was clearly visible!

"Damn brat!"

"Damn bandit!"

Vulture and the hidden CT team almost shouted in unison. The remaining two Metal Storms immediately started their pulse ignition, and Vulture immediately discarded the Gatling and dove to the side!

Amid the roar of the Metal Storms, Ye Yun ran back to the ventilation duct he had jumped from. This route was not within the firing range of the Metal Storms, allowing him to return to the duct unscathed and immediately pull the stunned Xu Yanan forward.

Before entering the hall, Ye Yun had observed that in the thousand-square-meter room, there were no more than five cameras, and these cameras were not all facing the center of the exhibition hall.

This meant that the cameras might not have fully exposed the destruction of most of the Metal Storms... of course, the CT team's delayed reaction was also a significant factor.

But Ye Yun had to make them realize they had been tricked!

There were still two Metal Storms left. If the CT team remained oblivious, once all the Metal Storms were destroyed, Vulture, no longer threatened, would likely kill Ye Yun in the next second!

Don't expect a bandit to be grateful, just as you shouldn't expect a pack of wolves surrounding their prey to show mercy!

Vulture's reluctance to kill him was Ye Yun's greatest assurance, so he risked his life to stop, hoping Vulture's gun would miss him... the sudden rise in the bullet trajectory on the wall was evidence. Once this evidence appeared, even if the CT team was foolish, they should realize this was all a show put on by Vulture!

Amid the smell of gunpowder and the smoke from the gunfire, Ye Yun, Vulture, and the CT team outside the room quickly calculated their next moves. The fierce and cunning battle of wits, accompanied by Ye Yun's desperate actions, was coming to an end.

Next, it would be a straightforward fight to the death!
