Chapter 1036: Capture the Ringleader First

Everything happened too suddenly.

Even Li Xiao was stunned for a moment, and immediately after, he saw something thrown from the hand of a person wearing a white lab coat, flying directly toward him!

Seeing clearly what the other party had thrown, Li Xiao caught it directly and gripped it in his hand.

It was a handgun.

There was no need to dwell on the other party's identity; they must be people sent by Mu Liusu.

Immediately after—"Bang! Bang!"

Two more gunshots rang out.

Luo Wanwan and the people beside her fired almost simultaneously, but Abai and Xiao An dodged them.

The two of them only dodged, but neither retreated; they pressed forward step by step, wanting to get close to Luo Wanwan.

Luo Wanwan had no time to think at all and could only react instinctively, a flash of panic crossing her eyes.

What on earth was going on!

Weren't these two people from the research institute? How could their identities have been swapped to come and save Li Xiao!

Could it be the people above...

No, the people above didn't even know what she was doing...

The current situation was unfavorable for her!

But this place was full of her people!

Luo Wanwan fought while retreating, attempting to get closer to the direction of the door.

A chaotic sound of footsteps also rang out from outside, all of them people who had heard the noise and rushed over.

"Bang!"

Another shot!

The only person left beside Luo Wanwan was shot in the leg and knelt on the ground in a sorry state.

But the bullet that hit him came from the other side.

The gun in Li Xiao's hand was emitting a wisp of white smoke.

That person could not get up, immediately looked over with a fierce expression, and aimed his gun directly at Li Xiao, looking as if he was about to pull the trigger, but just at this moment—"Don't touch him!!!"

Luo Wanwan's sharp command rang out; seeing that her subordinate had already been blinded by bloodlust, she hurriedly stopped him.

Hearing her voice, the man indeed hesitated for a second.

It was this very second—"Bang!"

Another gunshot rang out!

But this time, it was two people who fell.

The man who had just raised his gun at Li Xiao had his gaze freeze in an instant, and he fell straight to the ground.

And beside him was Luo Wanwan, who had been shot in the leg, looking at Li Xiao holding the gun not far away with a stunned expression.

No matter what, she had never thought he would fire at her.

Just a moment ago, she had ordered her subordinates not to hurt him.

Yet he was so heartless!

A fierce hatred suddenly welled up in Luo Wanwan's eyes, and she struggled, wanting to crawl up.

Almost at the same time, Abai and Xiao An rushed up directly, quickly snatched the weapon from Luo Wanwan's hand, and successfully subdued her!

The people outside the door also arrived at this moment, and seeing the situation inside the room, they were all shocked.

"Sister Wan..."

Only the few people at the very front immediately took their guns and wanted to rush up.

But they had only just moved—"Everyone move aside!"

Abai used the rope he had just pulled from the box to tie Luo Wanwan's hands behind her back, keeping her in front of him.

The group of people immediately froze in place, looking at one another, none of them daring to act rashly.

"You damn bastards!!!"

Luo Wanwan struggled desperately, wanting to turn her head to look at Li Xiao behind her, but she was unable to turn around, and the wound on her body was bleeding incessantly, dripping onto the floor, looking somewhat horrifying.

"What are you all still standing there for!!!"

She suddenly looked at her subordinates with a ferocious expression: "Take them all for me—mm... mmm!!!"

Before Luo Wanwan could finish her sentence, her mouth was stuffed with a piece of cloth from who knows where, and she immediately widened her eyes.

Cai Xiaotang clapped her hands, swept a cold glance at her, and returned to Li Xiao's side.

Abai and Xiao An were suddenly somewhat surprised, and even Li Xiao had an expression of disbelief.

Cai Xiaotang had actually used the lining cloth from the box!

The air was suddenly quiet for a moment.

Only Luo Wanwan was still making indistinct sounds.

Cai Xiaotang, however, breathed a sigh of relief.

This woman was a lunatic!

If she went crazy with anger and said something about mutual destruction, how would they get out!

Thinking of her own actions just now, she felt a lingering fear and gently tugged on Li Xiao's sleeve.

Immediately after, she felt her shoulder being firmly encircled.

Li Xiao gripped the gun, his whole body still somewhat drained of strength.

If he didn't want to be seen through and have his weakness discovered, they had to get out as soon as possible.

"If you still want her life, move aside."

He pressed his gun against Luo Wanwan's head and threatened her in a low voice.

The group of people blocking the doorway all became nervous upon hearing this.

No one understood why the situation here had reversed in an instant, or how these people had managed to sneak in.

"Mmph! Mmph-mmph!!!"

Luo Wanwan shook her head frantically, signaling her subordinates not to retreat.

Yet the few people in front hesitated for a moment before taking a few steps back, and the others immediately followed suit.

"Mmph!!!"

Luo Wanwan was so angry she could have vomited blood, and her eyes were nearly bulging out of their sockets.

"You should know what distance to maintain."

Xiao An gave a soft huff, pushed Luo Wanwan toward the outside, and calculated the distance in his mind.

The closest way out from here was not the path they had entered through, but Exit One.

They had to find a way to get out quickly!

He thought this over and said to the people opposite, "We have already figured out the map of this place; now, have your people all leave Exit One."

He said this deliberately for Mu Liusu to hear.

Once these words were spoken, the expressions on the opposite side became even more surprised, and they guessed that there must be others outside providing backup.

Perhaps even more than the people they had inside.

The two groups maintained a proper distance, with one side following slowly while holding their guns, and the other retreating toward the direction of Exit One.

Until they saw that the doorway had appeared before their eyes, no more than two hundred meters away.

Yet no one dared to relax.

As long as they hadn't made it out of here, it couldn't be considered absolutely safe.

The people opposite had followed them the whole way, and seeing they had arrived here, they exchanged a look without a word.

This subtle exchange, however, did not escape Li Xiao's eyes.

If they were really allowed to just walk out of here like this, it would be far too easy.

He pulled Cai Xiaotang back another step, let her hide at his side, and cast a quick glance toward the position on his left.

That was a corner, the most suitable place to hide people.

And on the other side was a straight passageway.

If their people wanted to come and provide support, that was the only way.

Li Xiao gently squeezed Cai Xiaotang's fingers and suddenly bent down to lean toward her ear.

"Hmm?"

Cai Xiaotang looked at him in confusion, her expression faintly agitated.

The exit was right before their eyes; they would be able to get out immediately!

She wanted to squeeze Li Xiao's hand back.

But she felt him suddenly let go.

Immediately after—"When you hear the sound of an explosion, run; don't look back, just charge straight out."

His deep voice rang in her ear.

Cai Xiaotang widened her eyes slightly, and before she could react, she saw him raise his hand.

He seemed to be holding something in his hand.

It was the Micro-bomb she had given him!
