Chapter 53: Who Is Knocking on the Door

With a crisp "clatter," the car window glass cracked with spiderweb-like patterns. Lin Chen didn't hesitate anymore,

pushed the car door open violently, and pulled the trigger of the M416 at the "Shadow" organization members surrounding them.

The "da-da-da" gunfire exploded, the two people in the front holding guns fell to the ground, and blood splashed on the snow, red and blinding.

A Kai also rushed out of the car,

the heavy firepower of the Gatling gun instantly spread, and bullets swept toward the crowd like a rainstorm.

The "Shadow" organization members were caught off guard and retreated a few steps, but soon stabilized their footing,

and fired back at the two. Bullets flew past Lin Chen's ears, he bent down and hid behind the car,

and shouted at A Kai: "Protect Xia Nuan, don't let her come out!"

Xia Nuan gripped her clothes tightly in the car, watching the scene of the exchange of fire outside, her heart in her throat.

She wanted to push the car door to help, but remembered Lin Chen's instructions, so she could only stare fixedly outside, fearing that the two would be injured.

"Damn it, there are too many people!

A Kai's Gatling gun quickly ran out of bullets. He retreated a bit, and in the gap of changing magazines,

a bullet grazed his arm, leaving a bloodstain. Seeing this, Lin Chen hurriedly fired to cover him,

but didn't notice someone circling from the side. "Bang!" A bullet hit his thigh,

and severe pain instantly spread through his whole body. He staggered and knelt in the snow.

"Brother Lin Chen!" A Kai shouted,

hurriedly turned around and sprayed at the person on the side, forcing the opponent back. Xia Nuan couldn't hold back anymore,

pushed the car door and rushed down, supporting Lin Chen: "How are you? Don't scare me!"

"First... first go back to the safe house!

" Lin Chen gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain, and stood up, the M416 still gripped in his hand.

A Kai carried the Gatling gun, blocked in front of the two, and fired in the direction of the safe house.

The three retreated while fighting, leaving a trail of bloody footprints in the snow. The "Shadow" organization members chased from behind,

and the sound of gunfire and shouting followed them all the way.

Finally retreating to the entrance of the safe house,

Lin Chen used his last bit of strength to push the door open, A Kai hurriedly pushed Xia Nuan and Lin Chen in,

blocked the entrance himself and fired a few more shots, before closing the door and locking it with a cabinet.

"Quick, look at your leg!

" Xia Nuan supported Lin Chen to sit on the sofa and lifted his pant leg. The bullet had penetrated his thigh,

blood was still flowing out, and the pants around the wound were already dyed red. Her eyes instantly turned red,

and she was in a panic, wanting to find something to bandage it, but didn't know where to start.

Lin Chen was sweating from the pain, but still forced a smile: "It's fine, I won't die... Call the system, exchange for bandages."

Xia Nuan reacted, hurriedly helped Lin Chen call: "System! System, are you there? Need bandages!"

Not waiting for a few seconds, a system notification popped up before Lin Chen:

【Detected that the host is injured, triggered medical supply exchange, issued Medical Bandages ×5, Hemostatic Powder ×1, placed on the coffee table】. Just as the notification disappeared, bandages and hemostatic powder appeared on the coffee table.

Xia Nuan hurriedly picked up the hemostatic powder,

and carefully sprinkled it on Lin Chen's wound. Lin Chen gasped in pain but didn't make a sound.

She picked up the bandages again and wrapped them around the wound circle by circle, her movements gentle, fearing to hurt him: "Bear with it, it'll be fine soon."

A Kai also sat nearby, looking at Lin Chen's wound, and frowned: "It was too dangerous just now,

fortunately it didn't hit any vital parts. Are the 'Shadow' organization people still outside?"

Lin Chen listened carefully; the gunfire outside had stopped, and there were only faint footsteps.

He shook his head: "They should have retreated temporarily. They don't dare to break in hard, after all, we have the safe house's defense."

After bandaging the wound,

Xia Nuan poured Lin Chen another cup of hot water and handed it to him: "Rest well,

I'll go cook something hot. Eating something will help you recover faster." She turned to the kitchen,

and cooked a pot of mixture of compressed biscuits and canned goods. Although the taste was average, it was hot.

The three gathered around the coffee table eating, no one speaking. Lin Chen looked at his leg wrapped in bandages,

thinking about the exchange of fire just now—the "Shadow" organization came aggressively this time and definitely wouldn't let it go,

next time they might bring even more powerful weapons. A Kai was also pondering how to reinforce the defense,

and Xia Nuan occasionally looked at Lin Chen's leg, her eyes full of worry.

After eating, Lin Chen leaned on the sofa to rest, Xia Nuan cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks and sat beside him,

rubbing his uninjured leg. A Kai went to check the doors and windows to ensure they were all locked.

The sky outside gradually darkened, overcast without a bit of light,

and only the desk lamp was on in the safe house, the atmosphere so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing.

Lin Chen closed his eyes,

but his heart didn't relax—the "Shadow" organization was still outside, his leg injury needed time to recover,

and the days ahead were likely to be even harder. He touched the ice-type energy crystal core in his pocket,

and suddenly remembered the ability he hadn't mastered yet. If he could master it sooner, he wouldn't have been injured just now.

Just as he was thinking, a slight knocking sound suddenly came from outside, very light,

but exceptionally clear in the quiet night. The three instantly tensed their nerves,

Lin Chen gripped the M416 and gave A Kai a look—who is knocking on the door? Is it the "Shadow" organization, or other survivors? ===== CHAPTER 54 =====
