"How did you get here?" Zhou Ming asked. According to the previous plan, the other party should be engaged in fierce fighting with the high-level of Chronos at this time.
"The high-level of the Chronos organization has already evacuated! The people left behind are probably less than half, all of them are pawns!"
"We have to leave now, if we don't leave now, it will be too late!"
Yang Zhisheng said anxiously, "Damn, it's ruthless enough to abandon half of the members at once. There must be a trap!"
"Are you saying that the people left behind are bait?" Zhou Ming was shocked and exclaimed, "Let's go! Hurry up! Damn it, are they planning to blow up this place?"
Zhou Ming felt that his idea was a bit exaggerated, but he couldn't rule out the possibility.
Moreover, the battle between the police and the assassins had already been won, the police had strong firepower, and there was a steady stream of reinforcements. Where could these assassins, who were treated like pawns, compete?
At this moment, the gunfire outside had already become sparse. If they didn't leave now, when the police completely controlled this place, they wouldn't be able to leave even if they wanted to.
The two immediately fled outside the factory, avoiding sporadic fighting, hiding whenever possible, and not getting entangled with anyone. They quickly reached the edge of the factory.
It could be seen that there was still a steady stream of police cars coming from a distance, helicopters in the sky, and a large number of police officers on the ground. There was no dead corner where they could slip away quietly.
"Trouble..." Zhou Ming muttered.
Earlier, he had praised the rapid action and strong maneuverability of the Glomo police, who were able to gather and "follow" them to attack the Chronos organization in such a short time.
Now, he was cursing the other side for having such a quick reaction and such a powerful execution force. It was simply unscientific!
"What should we do, rush in?" Zhou Ming asked.
"Wait!" Yang Zhisheng said firmly, "We are in this position, and we can break out anytime we want. I still don't believe that the Chronos organization will give up half of their members so easily! If they have other purposes, there will definitely be unexpected occurrences..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was grabbed by the shoulder by Zhou Ming.
"Break out! Now!"
Veins bulged on Zhou Ming's forehead, an unprecedented sense of crisis hit him, telling him clearly that a crisis had arrived and his life was on the line. It was an extremely terrifying and fatal crisis!
Yang Zhisheng was startled by Zhou Ming's overreaction, but immediately, a violent explosion interrupted all his questions.
The flames soared into the sky, the explosion deafened the ears, thick smoke billowed, and a factory building in the center of the factory was completely engulfed by the explosion!
At this level of explosion, no one in or around that factory building would be able to survive!
"Damn it!"
"Boom!"
Before Yang Zhisheng's curse even had time to spread, another factory building exploded, and the heat wave carried the fragments of the explosion which flew towards the two of them!
"We have to escape, now!"
Yang Zhisheng's scalp was numb, he grabbed Zhou Ming's arm and threw him directly onto his back.
"No other way, hold on to me!"
"Full power, overclock!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A series of explosions almost sounded at the same time, and the entire factory was engulfed in intense explosions and blazing flames. The flames illuminated the faces of many police officers outside the factory with horror and despair.
Boom!
Amidst the huge buzzing roar, two figures rushed out of the flames, and the twisted air caused by the high temperature made their figures blurry. Carrying amazing heat, they broke through multiple blockades at an incredible speed that even the naked eye couldn't keep up with.
Many police officers were stunned by the big explosion and didn't react to stop them. In an instant, the two of them rushed out, leaving behind a long trail of smoke, and ran for thousands of meters straight into the river.
At this moment, many police officers woke up from their daze and reacted.
"Get them!"
"Quick, contact the fire department, and launch a rescue mission immediately!"
In the river, bubbles bubbled up from the river bottom, as if the water were boiling and steaming.
Underwater, Zhou Ming grabbed Yang Zhisheng's arm with one hand and swam with the other, trying his best to swim to the opposite bank.
Yang Zhisheng's body, which had been partially mechanically modified, was extremely heavy. After operating beyond its capacity, it was in a state of temporary paralysis. The mechanical parts all over his body emitted astonishingly high temperatures and occasionally twitched like electric shocks, making Zhou Ming's movements even more difficult.
Fortunately, Zhou Ming's own injuries were not serious, and he managed to drag Yang Zhisheng onto the shore before running out of strength.
"Hoo, hoo, hoo..."
The two lay on the riverbank, gasping for air, unable to even think about moving their fingers.
"How are you? Can you still run?" Zhou Ming asked intermittently, out of breath.
"I'm not running anymore, damn it. Even if they catch us and take us to the police station, I'm not running anymore," Yang Zhisheng said fiercely. "Anyway, let Yu Man break into the police station again and get us out! I'm not going to suffer this anymore!"
"Okay, let them catch us. They can't kill us on the spot to vent their anger," Zhou Ming said, lying flat. Even if someone pointed a gun at his head and asked him to stand up now, he probably wouldn't respond, he was so tired.
But the next moment, both of them raised their necks, looked up, and stared in amazement in the direction of the factory.
The intense explosion and burning formed thick black smoke, forming a large column of smoke that rose straight up into the sky, extremely conspicuous.
But at this moment, the two saw the rolling smoke changing shape continuously, gradually forming the shape of a head, with a green face, sharp teeth, and two curved horns on its forehead.
"Demon!"
The extremely familiar image of the giant head made both of them cry out in surprise.
The whole huge head was as high as five or six meters, opening its big mouth and emitting a silent roar, ferocious and terrifying.
Zhou Ming and Yang Zhisheng both felt a strong tremor in their hearts, as if they were ants that were about to be crushed by human fingers, a sense of fear born from their own extreme insignificance and the gap in the level of life.
"Thud!"
"Thud!"
Surrounded by police officers working on extinguishing fires and conducting rescue operations outside the factory, some people occasionally fell to the ground, their faces turning blue and white, their eyeballs rolling up, leaving only the whites visible, and their breathing weak and almost imperceptible.
More and more police officers collapsed, leaving the remaining officers in a state of extreme horror as they retreated. Some tried to take their fallen companions with them, but as soon as they touched their bodies, they lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.
Because of the distance, they did not discover the huge, smoky demon head as early as Zhou Ming and Yang Zhisheng did.
But as they continued to retreat, more and more people saw the silent, roaring, and terrifying demon head. They immediately fell into an endless state of fear and horror, with their minds stagnating, their brains blank, trembling where they stood, or collapsing directly to the ground.
"Roar!"
With a deafening roar that seemed to echo in people's hearts, full of unwillingness and anger, the huge demon head disintegrated and dissipated, turning into rolling, thick smoke and disappearing.
It was only then that Zhou Ming and Yang Zhisheng woke up from the soul-shaking terror of feeling so small and insignificant. Both of them gasped for air with fear, their faces were pale and ugly.
Half of the police officers on the scene were lying on the ground and could not get up, while the other half gradually regained consciousness as the demon's head disappeared. Screams, prayers, curses, and cries mingled with occasional explosions and crackling flames, creating chaos.
Today's events had a tremendous impact on them. Especially the final scene, which challenged their beliefs and caused many to collapse.
"Let's go!" Yang Zhisheng, although pale, remained firm. "No one has the energy to focus on us now. It's a good opportunity to leave!"
Zhou Ming said nothing and reached out to help Yang Zhisheng up. The two supported each other and stumbled away from the scene.
Neither of them spoke, but they both understood that the chaos they had caused was about to escalate into something even greater.
At night, the stars were shining.
Dozens of kilometers away from the factory that caused the big explosion, Zhou Ming and Yang Zhisheng were half-dead and lying on the sofa in a villa, watching the news on TV.
"Just providing our location information can earn us a reward of 500,000? It's really a good deal!"
"But why is my photo so ugly? Don't they know how to use a better angle?"
Looking at their front-facing photos on the fifty-inch screen, Yang Zhisheng grumbled dissatisfiedly.
There was no doubt that the two of them were wanted.
Their actions today were indeed too much. They drove recklessly in the city, broke into the police station, looted the weapons depot, and even caused a paper box factory explosion, causing many police officers to die inside.
Although the last point could not be attributed to them at all, unfortunately, they could not go back to the police station to defend themselves, so they had to silently bear the blame.
"Be content; you two are lucky to be alive."
Yu Man brought two cups of milk over and handed them to Zhou Ming and Yang Zhisheng. She also settled herself into the comfortable and spacious sofa.
This was a temporary place that Yu Man found for them. The owner of the villa only came here a few times a year and only hired someone to clean it up once in a while. Otherwise, it was always vacant.
The milk they drank was specially bought by Yu Man herself, along with some food and daily necessities. They planned to rest here for a few days and at least let Zhou Ming and Yang Zhisheng recover their basic combat abilities.
After a big battle, the two of them were injured all over. Zhou Ming was okay, but he had gunshot wounds, internal bleeding, multiple bone fractures, sprains, burns, and other minor problems.
The real trouble was Yang Zhisheng. Overclocking caused damage to the parts inside his body, and excessive energy consumption required time for self-repair and energy replenishment. During this period, even moving was a problem for him.
