Chapter 337: Mysterious Reinforcements Appear

A critical moment! There wasn't even a single sign!

On the high wall on the other side of the factory, several black shadows emerged! Their movements were frighteningly fast, and their equipment was far superior to that of the "Black Snake" gang below!

The weapons in their hands made a low sound, yet carried a deterrent that made one's scalp tingle!

Rat-tat-tat!

A dense line of fire swept down, precisely covering the "Black Snake" forces besieging Lin Yu and the others!

The "Black Snake" men were completely stunned, falling in droves with miserable screams! The firepower pressing down on Lin Yu and his group suddenly lightened by more than half, and they were even... being pushed back!

Lin Yu's movements paused. Xu Xiaochuan was also dumbfounded. Who were these people?!

Were they attacking the "Black Snake" men?

In the chaos, a small "Black Snake" leader, blood spurting from his thigh as he lay on the ground, desperately lifted his head to look at the shadows on the wall that were continuously spitting tongues of fire, his face filled with a terror as if he had seen a ghost.

"They aren't our people! They are..."

Before he could finish, a bullet came down from above, cleanly and neatly piercing his forehead. The remaining "Black Snake" gunmen fell into complete disarray, subconsciously firing their guns wildly at the wall.

The pressure on Lin Yu's side suddenly vanished. Now is the time!

Lin Yu grabbed Xu Xiaochuan, "Go!"

The two scrambled and crawled toward the battered van at the alley entrance.

Lin Yu's back twitched violently, and a hot current instantly soaked through his clothes, sticking stickily to his skin, feeling both cold and numb.

Xu Xiaochuan's arm was covered in blood, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Where did these immortals come from?"

Lin Yu had no time to answer, his brain spinning rapidly.

These guys who suddenly appeared—their equipment and skills were not those of street thugs.

Official? Or something else entirely?

Two people jumped down from the wall, their movements clean and neat, landing without a sound, and immediately raised their guns to stand guard.

The leader's voice was hoarse, as if it had been deliberately processed.

"Get the wounded in the car! Retreat to the north!"

A Gui had already stuffed the unconscious Xuanyuan Qing into the back seat of the van.

Pangzi was slumped over the steering wheel, having taken a bullet to the shoulder, sweating profusely from the pain; Lin Yu didn't move.

Who knew what intentions these "rescuers" who appeared at this critical juncture had?

"Who sent you?"

The black shadow ignored him, merely raising a hand to signal the other team members to cover the van.

"No time left, more people are coming this way. Can the car drive?"

Pangzi sat up, trembling: "Yes! It's just that the steering wheel is a bit crooked!"

Lin Yu was still hesitating; at a time like this, following anyone was a gamble with his life.

The burning sensation on Xu Xiaochuan's back actually eased a bit at this moment, turning into a dull heat, which was strange.

"Follow us, there's a safe route." The black-shadow captain urged again, while simultaneously making several gestures, and the team members immediately adjusted their positions, sealing off several possible sniper angles.

Lin Yu gritted his teeth; there was no choice now, and he nodded.

"Who exactly are you people?"

"We'll talk once we're safe." The black-shadow captain was concise, growling into his communicator, "Area suppression! Cover them!"

The snipers on the wall immediately opened fire, bullets splashing like water toward the outside of the alley.

Several black-shadow team members guarded the van, rushing toward a darker small road to the north.

On the way, they ran into two more waves of "Black Snake" men, but before they could get close, they were beaten back by several rounds of precision fire from the black-shadow squad.

The coordination of these people made Lin Yu feel alarmed; the battered van rattled along as if it were drunk.

Xuanyuan Qing in the backseat let out a hum, her breathing growing even weaker.

"Hurry! She's not going to make it!" Lin Yu's voice was filled with anxiety.

The black-shadow captain didn't speak, merely quickening his pace, bypassing several pitch-black small roads, and the car plunged into an abandoned underground garage.

Three pitch-black off-road vehicles were parked there, their engines growling, exuding a murderous aura.

The leader waved a hand: "Switch cars."

Lin Yu and Xu Xiaochuan exchanged a glance, both seeing unease on the other's face.

Following these guys of unknown origin, no one could say if the next step would be life or death, but Xuanyuan Qing's life was hanging by a thread, so they had to gamble.

The convoy quickly drove out of the garage, diving into the intricate road network on the edge of the city, specifically choosing remote places without surveillance.

In the black-shadow captain's communicator, short reports kept coming in; clearly, they had more than just this one team in the city.

Lin Yu observed the captain calmly.

Who exactly was behind this team? Official? Or some force hidden even deeper?

Just as the car drove into an abandoned tunnel, a wave of dampness hit them, and the communicator on the leader suddenly screamed!

"Sniper! Get down!"

Lin Yu didn't even think before throwing himself over Xuanyuan Qing, the wound on his back taking a hard impact, the pain making his vision go black.

Bang!

A hole exploded in the hood, the car body shook violently, and the engine died; in the shadows on both sides of the tunnel, more figures emerged with a clatter!

Gray combat uniforms, that logo on the chest—a snake biting its own tail!

"Ouroboros!" Xu Xiaochuan screamed until his throat felt torn, his back burning so much he shivered.

The black-shadow captain, while directing the counterattack, moved to Lin Yu's side, his voice still that unpleasant electronic sound: "It seems they've brought out their entire bottom line."

In a lull in the gunfire, he suddenly ripped off the mask on his face.

A face covered in hideous scars was revealed.

Lin Yu's whole body stiffened.

The man twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing an expression that was unclear whether it was a smile or a sneer: "Long time no see, Doctor Lin."

"Do you still remember me? Special Medical Team, codename 'You Sun'. Specifically for... cleaning up the mess for the YA project."

"You Sun?"

Lin Yu's skin and flesh tightened suddenly, the silver needles between his fingers icy cold.

In the tunnel, the smell of blood mixed with gunpowder and dampness drilled into his nostrils, stuffy and astringent.

The scarred face opposite him pulled into an ugly arc, revealing a few yellow teeth.

"Good memory. Three years ago, under the Zhong Yan Yuan, you snatched our people, and I was almost wiped from the records."

Gunfire, another round of gunfire came from deeper in the tunnel.

Bullets hit the car body, making a dull "clanging" sound, and sharp ricochets scraped against his eardrums.

Lin Yu's brain buzzed, and fragments of that night three years ago flashed by—blinding red lights, corridors filled with the smell of disinfectant and blood, and that girl who was tied tightly to a special wheelchair, her eyes terrifyingly hollow.

"What you did to her is worse than pigs or dogs." Lin Yu's voice was very low, suppressing his anger.

The muscles on the scarred man's face twitched.

"Don't give me that moral crap. If it weren't for the YA sequence reaction on her, do you think I'd be willing to crawl into this rat hole?" He lifted his chin toward Xuanyuan Qing, "This eldest miss of the Xuanyuan family, the things hidden in her, you might not know everything."

Another bullet smashed hard into the car door, the sound of metal being torn making one's teeth ache.

"No time for nonsense." The scarred man growled, "Come with us, or stay here and feed the Ouroboros. Their reinforcements will be here in five minutes at most." ===== CHAPTER 338 =====
