Chapter 81: Biological Weapons (1/2)

“Sss…ss…”

Shen Cheng, Liu Su, Shao Silin, and the gray-haired Demi-Humans sprinted through the forest, running straight in one direction.

“The Bio-Scientific Institute and nearby military reinforcements are almost here. Speed up and rendezvous with the troops immediately!” Shen Cheng received the voice from Lingxue through the earpiece. He smirked and said, “Are these guys crazy? They know we’re getting reinforcements soon, yet they still insist on trying to kill us?”

“Their real strength has likely already retreated. These remaining people are probably here to complete their mission, which is to kill the wolf Demi-Human by your side!” Lingxue spoke through clenched teeth. “These guys will stop at nothing to suppress the development of the Solmara Demi-Human domain!”

Suddenly, Shen Cheng heard a strange and unsettling noise in his ear. He instinctively shouted, “Scatter!”

As soon as the words left his mouth, Shen Cheng grabbed the wolf Demi-Human girl and leaped to the side.

At the same time, Liu Su and Shao Silin also jumped to the left.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”

In the next moment, the spot where Shen Cheng and the others had stood was riddled with bullet holes!

Liu Su, just landing, immediately raised his gun and aimed at the bushes on one side, pulling the trigger—

“Bang!”

As the bullet was fired, blood splattered from the bushes.

Without looking back after firing, Liu Su quickly ducked behind a nearby tree trunk.

After leaping aside, Shen Cheng quickly placed the gray-haired girl behind a tree and drew his short knife, activating his dynamic vision!

In his now-slowed perception of time, Shen Cheng swiftly caught sight of a flash of gunfire emerging from the bushes.

With a burst of strength, Shen Cheng launched himself forward like an arrow, reaching the bush in an instant before leaping into the air!

The Eryndel man crouched in the bushes, holding a gun, suddenly found himself covered by a shadow. Startled, he looked up, only to see Shen Cheng leaping above him—

“Slash—” The short knife in Shen Cheng’s hand plunged down, but he paid no attention to the blood splashing at the corner of his mouth, suppressing the discomfort rising within him as he swiftly retreated to the gray-haired girl’s side.

The gray-haired girl looked at Shen Cheng and reached out to wipe the blood from his face.

“You’re not… going to fall asleep like Gray, are you?”

Hearing the girl’s timid voice, Shen Cheng grinned, “I’m still very much awake!”

“Bang!” A shower of wood chips exploded from the tree trunk near Shen Cheng’s head, causing his ears to buzz slightly.

“Whoosh!” A sharp sound zipped past, grazing the tree trunk behind Shen Cheng and hitting the bushes behind them, sending another spray of blood into the air.

“Boss Shen, protect the Demi-Human by your side!” Shao Silin’s shout echoed from afar.

Clutching the short knife tightly in his hand, Shen Cheng replied, “Got it!”

After all, he had never undergone firearm training, and the dynamic vision, which had some effect on his mental stamina, couldn’t stay active for too long.

In the next instant, a tingling sensation crept up Shen Cheng’s scalp, and a sudden sense of danger surged through his entire body.

Without thinking, Shen Cheng grabbed the gray-haired girl and rolled on the ground.

“Thud!”

A bullet grazed Shen Cheng’s left shoulder, sending a spray of blood, with several drops landing on the gray-haired girl’s face.

The intense pain in his shoulder caused cold sweat to bead on Shen Cheng’s forehead. Gritting his teeth, he struggled to stand up, looking down at the dazed gray-haired girl beneath him. Forcing a smile, he asked, “Are you okay?”

“I… I’m fine…” Feeling the warmth of the blood on her face and looking at Shen Cheng’s forced smile, the gray-haired girl’s heart trembled slightly.

I don’t want… to be protected like this anymore…
