Why are you hiding like mice?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dim light flickers intermittently, casting shadowy figures on the filthy walls of the factory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the crisscrossing steel beams and iron frames, figures peek around, their forms vaguely visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These ambushers either squat on the steel beams, their bodies curled up, or hide behind various equipment, their sides pressed against the walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them have their ears perked up, eyes fierce, gripping their guns tightly, aiming at the slightly ajar iron door at the end of the corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A trap has clearly been set, waiting for the prey to walk straight into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a mocking look in his eyes, Ma Donghe continues to shout:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well of course, they are facing the infamous Murderer, if he doesn’t slaughter you like chicks tonight, how does he live up to his name!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opens his mouth wide, letting out a hoarse and grating laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite being covered in wounds and stuck in a desperate situation, his attitude is more arrogant than the bandits who kidnapped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his mind, no matter how grim the situation, his demeanor must never bow down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, sporadic gunfire occasionally comes from the workshop floors below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This instantly makes the ambushers’ expressions more tense, their eyes widening further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially those few team members who have just retreated, like startled birds, their shoulders involuntarily trembling slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fingers gently rest on triggers, as if ready to unleash a barrage of bullets at the slightest hint of movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Ma Donghe keeps babbling on, talking to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sounds of mockery and ridicule echo in the spacious, grim workshop top floor, causing the ears of those present to buzz slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seems to be trying to disturb their spirits, disrupting the ambush plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, should have muzzled this bastard earlier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>T-Rex, holding a gun, looks impatiently at the tied-up Ma Donghe, cursing under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he knows well that those brothers stationed at various points in the workshop are likely not doing good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking back at the few remaining subordinates around him, he can’t help but feel a bit panicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hunter Captain squatting beside him remains calm, soothing everyone’s emotions:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With him making noise, attracting the target is even better, otherwise how do we lure the prey into the trap willingly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though saying this, recalling the previous nerve-wracking encounters in the dark, the Captain’s face involuntarily turns pale, eyes revealing deep apprehension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Yu Ying’s command voice came through the radio:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone stay alert, the target has already destroyed most of the workshop’s surveillance equipment, it’s estimated they’re heading to the sixth floor, be ready to fight at any moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice spreads through the cold air via the radio waves, as if twisting the already tense nerves even tighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining fifteen Hunter team members, and six gang members all simultaneously hold their breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes fixated on the only entry at the end of the corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s muscles are tense, fingers poised on gun triggers, even their breathing is deliberately hushed to the extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, in this suffocating silence, they silently wait for the prey to appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bulbs hanging in the corridor flicker on and off, emitting weak buzzing sounds, adding an extra layer of eerie horror to the already dim environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this tense and chilling atmosphere, Ma Donghe alone seems out of place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remains tied to the chair, occasionally letting out mocking laughs, which echo in the vast factory space, amplifying the desolation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncertain how much time passed, each second seemingly stretched indefinitely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sudden and piercing noise shatters the brief silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slightly ajar iron door at the corridor end wobbles a little, slowly being pushed open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a flare bursts, a bullet leaves the chamber, hitting the wall beside the iron door, scattering a flurry of plaster fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was one of T-Rex’s subordinates, too tense, who subconsciously pulled the trigger, initiating the attack prematurely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Captain glares fiercely and barks sternly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, fire only on my command, don’t hold us back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, T-Rex’s face turns pale, then red, hurriedly scolding his subordinate to follow orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, the iron door only opened to the extent that bullets couldn’t penetrate through the gap, and then stopped suddenly, ceasing to move forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dim line of sight revealed, it seems a pair of eyes are flickering brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>",941,"2026-05-29T15:13:17.898Z","2026-06-01T04:29:34.702Z",1,"novelbin.me","ff8bd161cb285e05cead15e5a7a2cdafcfacf86e195b5a1de9b8b753efc93558","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-288","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-286",1278,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-cover.jpg",{"terms":25,"userReplacements":26},[],{}]
