"She's debugging in the central laboratory," the man paused and said. "You have to be careful when you go in.
Don't be fooled by its size; this is a vital area for the Yu family. The patrol teams are mostly armed, and there are many chemical weapons."
Xu Qian's eyes narrowed slightly. Chemical weapons too.
The Yu family was sparing no expense.
The two exchanged a look, a silent understanding passing between them.
No matter how difficult the path ahead, this was their responsibility and duty.
They had to go.
Xu Qian nodded her thanks to him. "We'll let you go when we get back."
The man lowered his head and said nothing.
The two didn't linger and turned to leave.
After their footsteps faded, the man slowly raised his head, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
"I hope you can survive."
Their weapons and equipment were no joke.
The container was brightly lit, and light footsteps echoed within.
The two crept along the wall, reaching the central laboratory.
The closer they got, the more they could hear the shrill laughter and voices from inside.
"You good-for-nothings! You lost one body, so what? Why is it taking you so long to succeed in your research! Useless!"
"Useless! You'll all be dead once I get out. My father will surely tear you limb from limb."
Xu Qian's eyes narrowed. Yu Wan'er, even as just a brain, was still so arrogant.
Was she not afraid that someone would destroy her damn brain?
"Who is this person?"
A low voice sounded in her ear, her warm breath on her neck sending shivers down her spine.
Xu Qian's expression remained unchanged. "An enemy."
Xiang Jintian glanced at her. In the dim surroundings, the faint light illuminated her beautiful profile, cold and ruthless.
It wasn't the time to ask more. He said in a low voice, "If you want to kill, I'll help you."
Xu Qian was stunned and turned to look at him.
She had never expected him to say this. He was a soldier, upright and honorable.
Their understanding was deep. Xiang Jintian could tell what she was thinking at a glance. A faint smile touched his lips.
"Qianqian, it's okay."
Xu Qian's eyes flickered slightly. She said softly, "Jintian, thank you."
Xiang Jintian reached up and touched her long ponytail, which was soft and shiny black.
He lowered his voice and discussed, "Qianqian, the central laboratory will definitely be hard to infiltrate. Let's start by breaking through the outer perimeter one by one, okay?"
Xu Qian nodded in agreement. She had been impulsive.
The name Yu Wan'er was like a curse, haunting her in this life and the last.
After finally killing her, she had reappeared like an unkillable cockroach, always there.
The last time she saw her, Mei Yuebai had been injured because of her and still hadn't recovered.
The entire Daybreak War Team had been severely wounded, and she had lost her memory.
This time, no matter the cost, she would kill her.
The two moved to the outer perimeter. Xu Qian focused her mental power on the container in front of them.
Her brow furrowed. There were four people inside, all Level Three ability users.
If they couldn't all be killed, it would be like startling the snake.
She had tested it last time. Her ability could only destroy the crystal cores of three Level Three ability users.
There was one more. What should she do?
"Jintian, four Level Three ability users."
Xiang Jintian's dark eyes narrowed. He said in a low voice, "Qianqian, you use your ability. I'll deal with the rest."
"Okay."
Xu Qian closed her eyes, and threads tightly wound around the crystal cores.
"3... 2... 1..."
"Crack."
"Thud."
"Clang."
"What happened to you?"
Xiang Jintian's eyebrows shot up. He slipped in through the gap in the door.
Only a "hiss" could be heard.
The container fell silent.
