Chapter 535: Chapter 531: Perils at Every Turn

Having made up their minds, Ling Chen and He Ziyun no longer hesitated and immediately ran in the opposite direction.

No matter who was in charge here, they definitely lived in the core area of the base.

Soon after, Ling Chen realized that entering the core area of the base was a difficult task. Along each corridor of the base, aside from the 360-degree surveillance cameras, there were also personnel patrolling, covering almost every corner of the core area.

Listening to the footsteps approaching, Ling Chen took a deep breath, made eye contact with He Ziyun, signaling him to get ready to take action and deal with the security guards nearby.

He Ziyun glanced over, locking all three security guards within his sight. Then, he lightly tapped his toes without making a sound, and like a flash of lightning, he disappeared around the corner.

Before Ling Chen could make his move, by the time he reacted, the security guards were already down on the ground.

"Let’s go!"

He Ziyun uttered sharply, not slowing his pace and continuing deeper into the area.

At this moment, they could not afford any delays. By killing the three security guards, they were essentially telling the personnel of the God Organization that they had escaped from the cell. It wouldn’t be long before the entire base would be searching for them. Therefore, the situation called for urgent actions.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Indeed, as the guards were killed, a piercing alarm immediately blared throughout the base.

As they moved, Ling Chen only heard a series of quick footsteps approaching from afar, appearing on their path.

"There, catch them."

"Break out!"

Undeterred, He Ziyun surged forward. As he came closer, he sprang up like a large bird spreading its wings, swooping down from above directly into the crowd, wreaking havoc.

Taking this opportunity, Ling Chen quickly glanced out of the corner of his eye, then rolled on the ground to pick up a pistol that had fallen, quickly pulling the trigger.

Bang! Bang!

Several consecutive gunshots rang out, and with Ling Chen’s precise shooting, the following security personnel were instantly neutralized.

"Ling Chen, take this."

He Ziyun threw an assault rifle to Ling Chen, then drew several knives from the bodies, urging Ling Chen to keep moving.

...

In the control room of the base, a Caucasian man stood in front of over a dozen monitors with his arms crossed, issuing orders coldly, "Tell them to evacuate from the central area, close the channels to the central area, and prepare to release poison gas."

"Yes."

After speaking, the white man pointed to an aide beside him and said sternly, "Go check the cell; I want to know how they escaped."

"Understood!"

...

"Mr. He, the passage here is sealed." Ling Chen said, frowning. Just a moment ago, they had intended to enter through here, but before they could reach it, an automatic iron gate had fallen, closing off their path. Without the password, no one could open this gate.

"Let’s check other places."

During the conversation, they tried several other entrances in the corridor but, without exception, all were sealed.

Ling Chen gave a bitter smile: "Mr. He, what should we do now?"

He Ziyun was about to speak, but just then, a stream of green gas suddenly appeared from the ceiling, quickly spreading around.

Seeing this, the expressions of Ling Chen and He Ziyun changed unavoidably.

"It’s poison gas!" Ling Chen quickly covered his nose and mouth, swiftly moving out of the range of the green gas. However, the source of green gas appeared in multiple places, filling the area fast. Soon, the entire enclosed area would be enveloped in poison gas.

At this critical moment, a door nearby suddenly opened.

"Mr. He, over there." After saying this, Ling Chen hurriedly charged towards the doorway.

Once the two of them passed through the door, it sealed shut again, blocking all the green gas. Ling Chen breathed a sigh of relief internally, thankful that the door was still operational; otherwise, he and He Ziyun would have perished inside.

However, amidst the relief, Ling Chen was even more puzzled about who was helping them secretly. That door wouldn’t have opened without reason; someone must have tampered with it.

Recalling the cell key he had obtained earlier, Ling Chen’s curiosity deepened, wondering who the mysterious person was.

"Ling Chen, look at this."

At that moment, He Ziyun pointed at the architectural layout map on the wall and said, "We are here now, and right ahead is the residential area of the base. Anyone living in this area must hold significant status, and the person we’re looking for is likely here."

Ling Chen, holding the gun in his hand, smiled faintly: "Whether we can leave alive is still uncertain; if you ask me, killing one is enough, killing two is profitable. Let’s just eliminate everyone living in this area, leaving no survivors."

As he spoke, they heard a ’click’, and a door that was initially closed suddenly opened.

Seeing this, Ling Chen’s mind stirred, could it be the person who just helped them indicating the way?

Thinking this, Ling Chen looked at He Ziyun and walked towards the door.

Before long, Ling Chen was surprised to find that whenever they passed through a gate, the next one would automatically open. Although he did not know where the other party wanted to guide them, Ling Chen believed that they harbored no ill intentions towards them. Otherwise, there was no need to save them earlier.

Bang!

In the monitoring room, accompanied by a gunshot, a technician’s brain burst, dying instantly at the workstation.

The Caucasian man put away his pistol, looking coldly at the silent staff around him, and said coldly, "Can anyone tell me why they were able to escape from the enclosed area, why our surveillance failed, why someone tampered with the system without any of you noticing? The organization trains talents, not wastes; give me a satisfactory answer within fifteen minutes, or this person’s fate will be yours."

Hearing this, everyone’s faces turned slightly pale.

"Tea... Team leader, only someone with the right authority could log into the system, modify system commands," a cautious staff member spoke.

The white man sharply countered, "Are you suggesting that I am assisting their escape?"

"No, not at all, I... There are only eight people in the base who have such authority. Maybe..."

The white man pondered for a moment, then ordered, "Send someone to their residences immediately, bring them all here; I want to question them myself."

"Yes."

...

At this moment, guided by the mysterious helper, Ling Chen and He Ziyun arrived outside a room.

"What is this place?" Ling Chen pondered internally.

As he was contemplating, the room door suddenly opened, revealing a familiar face instantly within his view.

As soon as Ling Chen clearly saw who it was, he was stunned on the spot, unable to recover for a long time.
