Chapter 355: Too Much to Let Go
"Bang!" A bullet grazed his cheek, and Lin Tian, who was retrieving the artifact from the bulletproof glass, was startled!
But unfortunately, the invisible cloak on him was shot and got a hole; its stealth effect would be greatly reduced.
At this moment, Lin Tian felt uncomfortable all over, his head dizzy, and he had a feeling of wanting to vomit!
It was all because his body’s consumption was too great.
He could even feel that in ten or so minutes, he would fall into a coma!
"No, I must retreat!" Lin Tian gritted his teeth, he had obtained a total of five artifacts from the fifth area, and his limit was almost reached!
He wasn’t the reckless type; if he continued to delay, he’d be found out sooner or later!
"Tap tap tap..." Footsteps sounded continuously, stopping Lin Tian’s attempt to leave!
"Cornered!" These eight reinforcements from Sakula Country included two guarding the exit, forming a wall with their bodies!
"Trouble!" Lin Tian frowned.
His body was very weak now; he could only hold on for less than ten minutes!
If he didn’t leave here before time ran out, he’d be in trouble!
"I can only take a risk!" Lin Tian glanced at the direction of the second floor.
At this time, a gunfight was underway on the second floor, with bullets flying!
But don’t forget, the window of the second floor had already been destroyed by these outsider men in black!
If he could get to the position of the destroyed window from here, he could safely escape from there!
However, although it sounds simple, it was extremely difficult!
Because of the melee between the two sides, the current second floor was incredibly dangerous!
A bullet could pass through you at any time!
Being lucky enough not to be hit just now was already a fortunate thing!
"Mr. Chen, can I use the gun? I need to break through!" When he came, Chen Moxiang gave him and Ye Feng each a gun, and now it was finally time to use it.
Earlier, after Lin Tian overturned a guard, he also took a gun from him.
Now he had two pistols in his hands!
He wanted to fight his way out from the second floor!
He didn’t choose the entrance to the venue; since the Sakula Country people had reacted, the defensive forces at the entrance would only continue to increase!
Leaving through the entrance would be akin to a sheep entering a tiger’s den!
Therefore, leaving through the broken window on the second floor was the only choice!
Lin Tian found a dead-end position to lean on and began to recover!
To escape through the second-floor window, he must ensure he had enough strength to do so!
Clearly, he did not possess such action strength right now!
But don’t forget, the golden orb in his lower abdomen could accelerate his physical recovery!
In just one breath, he felt his previously muddled head improving.
His footsteps no longer felt so heavy, and the backpack he was carrying no longer felt like a mountain!
Of course, this was just a metaphor; actually, his physical consumption was still very large!
The previous actions had caused too much exertion!
The current recovery was only physical; mental depletion would take more time to resolve!
"Yes!" Chen Moxiang’s voice came.
She initially thought Lin Tian could leave smoothly!
But now it seemed that wasn’t the case!
"At a moment of life and death, using a gun is necessary!" Chen Moxiang’s tone was firm: "In the melee between the two sides, you don’t have to hold back; this group that suddenly stormed in is definitely greedy. You can kill them if necessary!"
"Has this group’s identity been clarified?"
"The people who stormed the venue might be a mercenary organization; the name of the organization hasn’t been found yet!" Chen Moxiang’s voice kept coming, providing Lin Tian with some updates: "But the person who hired this group has been found, it’s the South Sea Lord!"
"A mercenary organization? South Sea Lord?" Lin Tian was slightly stunned.
"A mercenary organization; as long as the price is high enough, they will sell their lives for you!"
"The batch of men in black who came tonight, their strength is terrifying, with experts leading them!"
"Mercenary organizations only see money; as long as they’re paid, they’ll do anything, so you don’t need psychological pressure. If someone truly blocks your path, preserving your life is paramount; you can choose to shoot him!"
"Now you’re working for the country; anyone who hinders you is against the state!"
"What you need to do is make sure nothing happens at all costs!"
"You are more important than these artifacts..."
"Good!" Lin Tian quickly responded, having received an answer, he knew what to do.
This operation, while acquiring artifacts from the four areas and several more from the fifth.
However, he hadn’t obtained the remaining ancient artifacts!
In Lin Tian’s view, this was a failed mission!
Despite wanting to continue, the enemy reinforcements had arrived, currently just eight. Soon, it could be eighteen; he couldn’t afford to act recklessly!
He knew his own body the best!
He had reached a state where his energy was depleted!
At this point, any further delay was neglecting his own life!
He was just a small figure, afraid of death!
Moreover, he was reluctant to leave everyone beside him!
He wanted to go to university!
There were too many things he couldn’t bear to leave...
So Lin Tian couldn’t allow himself to fall here!
"Lin Tian, I’ll provide you with an escape route!" Ye Feng’s voice sounded timely.
Through the monitor, he could understand the situation clearly, designing an escape route for Lin Tian!
With his calm and precise mind, Ye Feng’s coordination skills were quite strong!
"Now both groups are moving downstairs; the stairwell must be avoided, try to climb up from the left wall, there’s a cover there, and ahead is a hostile. You just need to deal with the hostile, and you’ll have more time to prepare your escape!"
"Okay!" After resting for a full three minutes, feeling his physical strength recovering a bit, Lin Tian started his retreat!
Now, the gunfire was no longer as intense as it was at the beginning!
Clearly, both groups weren’t engaging directly anymore; instead, they had started playing guerrilla warfare!
Following Ye Feng’s instruction, Lin Tian quickly climbed up to the position of the second-floor cover using a small sprint, his vision ability was turned off, now was the time to test his cooperation with Ye Feng.
Sure enough, not far ahead, there was a man in black, who had his back to him!
Lin Tian didn’t hesitate and approached the man in black from behind without making a sound!
Simultaneously, he delivered a hand chop, instantly striking the black-clad man’s neck before he could react!
Having dealt with the man in black, Lin Tian gasped heavily, waiting for the next action command!
