The night wind howled, carrying a strong smell of gunpowder, and bullets occasionally whizzed past their ears, sparking a series of flashes.
"Xiao Han is over there, the firepower is intense!" Su Wan pointed to the left front, where the wind howled ominously, and faint blue light flickered.
Lu Shiyan's eyes narrowed, his arm muscles tensed, and the arm wrapped around Su Wan's waist suddenly exerted force, carrying her as he weaved through the uneven rooftops.
He was moving at an extreme speed; the gunmen below, who were attempting to intercept them, had barely raised their muzzles when they felt a gust of wind sweep past.
Bullets scattered behind him, hitting empty air, as his target had already vanished behind the next cover.
"Damn it! They're on the roof! Quick! Stop them!" Furious shouts came from below.
More figures surged from all directions towards the warehouse roof, clearly intending to trap them completely here.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, a tin-roofed guard post not far away was directly blown away by a violent Wind Blade, sending debris flying.
Xiao Han's figure appeared, but one of his hands hung limply, and his shoulder blade was deeply red, clearly indicating an injury.
He was being besieged by seven or eight ability users and enemies with homemade firearms.
Although his Wind Blade was sharp, the enemy outnumbered him, and Xiao Han was starting to struggle.
"Xiao Han!" Su Wan couldn't help but call out.
Xiao Han heard the voice, turned his head sharply, and saw Lu Shiyan and Su Wan.
His face first lit up with joy, then turned pale as he saw the dense crowd chasing behind them: "Damn it! Did you two poke a hornet's nest? The number of people is just too exaggerated!"
Lu Shiyan had already brought Su Wan to his side, "Can you still move?"
"I'm not dying!" Xiao Han gritted his teeth, his forehead covered in cold sweat, "Damn it, these sons of bitches are like mad dogs! But compared to what you just did, my injuries are nothing."
Lu Shiyan's gaze swept around.
The enemy had formed a encirclement, with people continuously climbing onto the roof from the edges, their dark muzzles flashing with dangerous light.
There were at least fifty or sixty people, and the number was still increasing.
"Did you get everything from the warehouse?" Xiao Han asked Su Wan, panting, his eyes gleaming.
Even in this dangerous situation, he was still concerned about their haul.
Su Wan nodded, her face somewhat pale from excessive mental energy consumption: "Almost.
We got about seventy percent; it should last us a long time."
"That's good! Then let's hurry..." Xiao Han's words were cut short.
Lu Shiyan suddenly spoke, "We can't just leave like this."
Su Wan and Xiao Han were both startled.
"Not a single person here can be left alive," Lu Shiyan's eyes were deep and unruffled, as if he were stating the most ordinary thing.
"Not only do we need to destroy this place, but the Scorpion's influence is greater than Lei Laohu estimated, and the contents of the armory are beyond imagination.
Leaving anyone alive will lead to endless trouble."
Xiao Han gasped, looking at Lu Shiyan's calm profile.
This was no longer a simple breakout; this was... a complete clear-out!
When it came to ruthlessness, it had to be Lu Shiyan.
Su Wan's heart also skipped a beat, but she did not voice any objection.
In this apocalypse, mercy to enemies was cruelty to oneself.
She tightened her grip on the corner of Lu Shiyan's clothes.
"So... shall we make our move?"
Su Wan asked in a low voice, her palms sticky with sweat.
There were so many enemies, and their numbers were still increasing.
But thinking of the firearms they had just acquired, a strange excitement surged within her.
Lu Shiyan's gaze fell on the warehouse beneath their feet, "To draw the firewood from under the cauldron, one must do it thoroughly.
I've already placed explosives in the armory, but it's not enough for a complete clear-out."
He looked at Su Wan: "Among the weapons you collected earlier, there should be high explosives or timed devices?"
"Yes! Several boxes of grenades, and some explosives!"
"Very good." A sharp glint flashed in Lu Shiyan's eyes.
"Xiao Han, you're injured, so you're responsible for vigilance and long-range support.
Su Wan, throw all the explosives and flammable materials through the ventilation shafts into different locations in the warehouse, especially near the load-bearing structures."
His plan was simple, yet insane—to blow up the entire armory, completely wiping these enemies, along with this stronghold, off the map!
"Understood!" Xiao Han and Su Wan replied simultaneously.
Although Xiao Han was injured, his fighting spirit remained undiminished: "Damn it, today these sons of bitches will witness what a fireworks display is!"
"Those people..." Xiao Han glanced at the increasing number of enemies on the roof, a hint of hesitation in his voice.
"I'll handle them." Lu Shiyan's tone was indifferent, as if those vibrant lives were no different from ants in his eyes.
He turned to Su Wan and said, "Give me some of the grenades."
Su Wan immediately took out a box of grenades from her space and handed them to him.
Lu Shiyan took them, motioning towards a high point on a nearby roof where several enemies were setting up a makeshift machine gun.
"I'll go deal with them and buy you time." He moved swiftly, disappearing into the night.
"Sister Su Wan, quick!" Xiao Han urged.
He gritted his teeth against the sharp pain in his shoulder blade, forcing out a few small Wind Blades with his left hand, throwing them at the nearest enemies.
Their accuracy and power were much worse than usual, but they still successfully slowed the opponents.
Su Wan gritted her teeth, enduring the dizziness from mental energy depletion, and quickly moved to the ventilation shaft Lu Shiyan had opened earlier.
She carefully identified the load-bearing columns and critical structures of the warehouse below, then strenuously threw the explosives, grenades, and several barrels of gasoline from her space towards those specific locations.
Her movements were swift, each throw meticulously calculated to ensure maximum destructive effect.
On the other side, Lu Shiyan chose not to fight head-on, but instead used the complex structure and shadows of the rooftop to move rapidly.
Each time he reached a new spot, screams and the sounds of heavy objects falling would erupt.
Green vines, like venomous snakes, silently wrapped around enemies' necks, instantly strangling them.
Crimson fire daggers sliced through the dark night in eerie arcs, taking one life after another.
Occasionally, quick-reacting enemies would fire back, but the bullets always grazed his clothes, and the few that came close were deflected by a thin, cicada-wing-like, pale green-veined wooden armor that instantly appeared on his body, emitting dull thuds.
Su Wan was shocked... Was this an upgrade of the Wood-Type Ability? Armor?
In just a few minutes, the previously noisy gunshots and curses on the rooftop had significantly thinned out.
When Lu Shiyan's figure reappeared beside Su Wan and Xiao Han, he carried a faint scent of blood.
"How's the setup?" he asked Su Wan.
Su Wan wiped the sweat from her forehead, her face as pale as paper, but her eyes were unusually bright: "It's done! The warehouse is now a giant powder keg!
I guarantee the Scorpion will never forget tonight!"
"Very good." Lu Shiyan nodded in satisfaction, taking out a remote detonator from his embrace; Su Wan had given it to him along with the explosives earlier.
He glanced at the flickering firelight and chaotic figures in various parts of the factory below, saying coldly, "The Scorpion's people should all be concentrated in this vicinity."
Xiao Han sneered, "This job, it's really f*cking huge! The commotion will probably be heard for miles around."
Lu Shiyan said no more, his gaze turning to Su Wan, his voice unconsciously softening for a moment: "Get ready.
The blast wave will be very strong; hold on to me tightly."
Su Wan nodded vigorously, actively moving closer and gripping his arm tightly.
She could feel the warmth emanating from Lu Shiyan, which slightly calmed her nervous heart.
Lu Shiyan wrapped one arm around Su Wan, and with his other hand, raised the detonator.
His gaze swept across the entire chaotic battlefield, then he looked at Xiao Han: "Are you ready?"
Although Xiao Han was injured, his eyes were filled with excitement at this moment: "Bring it on! Let these sons of bitches see what a truly grand spectacle is!"
Lu Shiyan's lips curved into a cold, sharp arc, and his thumb pressed down on the detonation button.
