Chapter 855: Chapter 375 8 o’clock

Backpack on his back, an M4 carbine in his hand, a bundle of rifles slung across his shoulder, his entire body covered in blood. Such an appearance made Lin Wu an immediate focal point upon entering the mall.

Lin Wu demanded from the receptionist, "Where’s the back door?" Seeing the receptionist’s delayed reaction, he immediately raised his gun.

The receptionist hurriedly pointed: "Turn left ahead, one hundred fifty meters."

Lin Wu had just taken a few steps when an SUV crashed through the mall glass, its doors flaring open, and four masked gunmen emerged. At that moment, two traffic cops had already reached the mall entrance. After exchanging glances, the cops immediately ran away, knowing this was out of their league.

Lin Wu took the initiative, emptying a magazine, which resulted in one gunman dead and another injured. The other criminals quickly drew their handguns to return fire.

After suppressing them, Lin Wu dared not linger; after all, the entire city was after his life. First, it was the gangs; then, the police; next, there would be zombies.

Believing fervently: survive a second longer, survive a second longer, survive a second longer.

At 7:50 PM, Lin Wu was running through alleys, known for his good sense of direction. He knew where Handsome Hotel was but was unclear about the exact distance between him and the hotel, uncertain if he could make it there by eight o’clock.

Navigating through alleys, indifferent to the strange glances of others. Just as Handsome Hotel was twenty meters away, suddenly a figure lunged from the side, grappling Lin Wu down to the ground. This man, in his thirties with muscular build and half a donut in his mouth, declared, "Police, don’t resist."

Unfortunately, Lin Wu’s M4 was pinned underneath him, and without the Lock Head skill, he played dead. After observing for a moment, the man removed the M4’s strap from Lin Wu’s back, pushing the gun several meters away. Having done that, the man drew handcuffs from his belt, and Lin Wu seized the moment to elbow the man in the face, sending him tumbling backward as Lin Wu rolled forward and pulled out his handgun, turning just in time to see the man crawling into a restaurant.

Lin Wu shouldered his M4 and slowly retreated, having no time to entangle with the police. However, the wasted time, though brief, had already allowed the assassins to catch up, and a shootout began immediately in the alley.

The alley, about 50 meters long, saw Lin Wu and the assassins using protruding walls or shops as cover. This situation also trapped Lin Wu. To escape, he would have to cross a 20-meter passage—this wasn’t a game; hitting a target with a handgun from 20 meters, even up to 50 meters, was not very difficult.

An NPC cop trapped in the middle wanted to peek out to assess the situation but was forced back by a rain of bullets. Lin Wu yelled, "What time is it, officer?" Damn Hardcore Mode, no way to check the time, no time to pull out a phone.

"Drop your weapons and I’ll tell you."

Lin Wu replied, "I’m a policeman, they are the bad guys."

"Yeah right."

"Then peek out and see if they shoot at you." Lin Wu: "I guarantee I won’t shoot you."

After a few seconds of silence, suddenly a small gas canister was thrown near the assassins, causing both to dive sideways into a shop. The policeman quickly shot at the gas canister and surprisingly asked, "Didn’t it explode?"

Shana: A small handgun can’t penetrate a gas canister.

Lin Wu took the chance to shoot, penetrating the gas canister. To his surprise, it didn’t explode but only leaked a massive amount of gas, acting like a smoke grenade.

Not daring to try again, Lin Wu hurried toward the hotel. Reaching the alley’s end, he turned back to see the policeman only three meters behind him. That fast? Lin Wu exited the alley and turned left, the policeman bursting out of the alley and continuing the chase. Lin Wu, with no time to spare, raced up to the second floor of Handsome Hotel.

Room 211... Wait, why is it 111? Isn’t this the second floor?

Twilight Elder, you dared to trick me.

Lin Wu flipped down from the second floor, and with Spiderman’s enhanced physical capabilities, he landed smoothly and saw room 211’s door number 10 meters away. Through the window, he saw the blue portal inside. Can you believe it? Room 211 was on the first floor, and room 111 was on the second floor.

Lin Wu ran to the door, ready to break in when the door opened, and Lin Wu collided with a burly man weighing over 170 kilograms and standing 1.9 meters tall. The powerful impact and recoil knocked them both to the ground. In a frenzy, Lin Wu drew his gun and shot the unfortunate new tenant of room 211 dead.

Just as Lin Wu was about to rush to the blue portal, the policeman, like a shadow, caught up, grabbing Lin Wu’s right hand to prevent him from shooting and grappled with him on the spot. After a several hundred meter sprint, the policeman, lacking Spiderman Lin Wu’s stamina, could only clutch desperately at Lin Wu’s handgun, but was knocked down by two successive left hooks from Lin Wu. Facing the dark muzzle of the gun, he could only breathe heavily, utterly powerless to resist.

...

Somewhere in the city, several people were watching the countdown on the portal, their faces grim. Stone was particularly distressed; he didn’t know what had gone wrong. Out of eight people, only five had arrived. The absentees were Lin Wu, Maya, and Lin Meng. Everyone knew Lin Wu, now the city’s most wanted, had been dominating the news since seven o’clock.

The aerial footage from TV helicopters captured his gunfight with the assassins, as well as the Central City Hospital footage where he killed police officers. According to nurses, Lin Wu burst into the hospital, killed several injured upon a brief exchange of words, and engaged the police in a shoot-out as he exited.

Seeing this news, everyone was mentally prepared for Lin Wu’s absence. What they could not understand was Lin Meng’s absence though they vaguely comprehended it; after all, it was Lin Meng. What puzzled everyone was why Maya was late.
