Allen was experienced, no matter if Li Chengjie was dead or who attacked.
The key was that there was an attacker. So, they naturally hid first to figure out the opponent's tactics.
They re-entered the factory building, splitting into two groups and hiding on either side of the main entrance.
Ji Ruyue knelt on the ground, quickly tearing open Li Chengjie's clothes to examine his wounds.
Bai Ye sneaked a glance. This guy seemed to be truly at death's door.
The bullet wound on his chest was near his heart, but the heart hadn't been pierced, as Li Chengjie was still clinging to life.
However, he was barely hanging on, with more air going in than out.
Ji Ruyue immediately injected Li Chengjie with adrenaline, but it was useless. What was the difference between dying in ten minutes or twenty? An extra ten minutes to say his last words?
Without life-support equipment, only emergency medical supplies were available, which couldn't treat such an injury.
Bai Ye silently thanked the attacker, "Well done."
Then Bai Ye quietly glanced outside the door. There was no movement.
But no movement didn't mean they could act recklessly. The opponent might be waiting with a gun.
Allen decisively gestured, signaling Davis to check if there were other exits from the factory, and then ordered Gonzalez to find a suitable position for fire support and set up his gun.
After giving the orders, Allen suddenly darted towards Bai Ye's side, pushed off the ground with one hand, and quickly rolled, bypassing the factory entrance.
The movement was beautiful, fluid, and agile, but...
The opponent didn't fire...
No matter how beautiful, it looked foolish.
Allen didn't mind. Reaching Bai Ye's side, he pressed his back against the wall and asked Bai Ye, "Can those crystal people use weapons?"
Bai Ye nodded, "Yes!"
This wasn't an exaggeration. Those crystal people could indeed use weapons.
Rhine Corporation manufactured "warriors." What kind of warriors couldn't use weapons?
However...
Bai Ye scratched his head, feeling that the shot that hit Li Chengjie didn't seem like the work of a crystal person.
Just then...
Gonzalez, who had gone up to the second floor, suddenly shouted, "Hey, look up, there's something."
Gonzalez's expression was anxious as he shouted and pointed at the roof.
The roof in the center of the factory building was made of glass, and part of it was already broken, allowing glimpses of light scattering down.
Allen frowned, then aimed his gun upwards and started firing.
The glass was continuously shattered, scattering downwards. Then, looking outside through the broken parts...
"Magic array patterns?"
Bai Ye's pupils constricted.
Above the factory building was a giant red magic array pattern.
Light turned into lines, sketching bit by bit, slowly forming magic runes.
If nothing unexpected happened, this should be a large-area attack magic array. Once fully formed, magic would immediately bombard the factory.
Secondly...
The City of Ruins was a futuristic technological area. How could there be magic array patterns?
If there was only one possible explanation, it would be...
The Chosen!
Bai Ye's thoughts raced, then he shouted to Allen, "Leave here, now, immediately!"
Allen said, "There are snipers outside."
Bai Ye replied, "Snipers can at least leave you with a complete corpse. If you stay, you won't even find your ashes."
As Bai Ye spoke, he swiftly darted towards the outside of the factory.
Bang!
A gunshot suddenly rang out.
An energy beam appeared before Bai Ye's eyes. Just as it was about to hit Bai Ye...
Zzzt!
Electricity surged across Bai Ye's body, and then Bai Ye's figure flickered, shifting half a meter to the side.
The energy beam struck the ground, pulverizing a section of it.
Since the opponent was a Chosen, Bai Ye naturally stopped holding back. More accurately, holding back wouldn't help against such an opponent.
Moving rapidly and creating distance, Bai Ye also located the opponent's position based on the direction of the energy beam.
On the other side, Allen also shouted loudly, "Leave, get out of here quickly!"
Bai Ye had attracted the fire, and Allen naturally seized the opportunity, leading his men out of the factory.
And just as Allen and his team left the factory...
Boom!
In the sky, within the giant magic array pattern, a huge explosion occurred.
The next moment, crimson flames poured down from the magic array like a waterfall, forming a massive pillar of fire that engulfed the factory.
Amidst the explosion, the factory was as if a piece had been forcibly ripped out, and everything was incinerated.
If they had stayed inside, Allen and the others would indeed have left nothing but ashes.
At the same time...
Bai Ye moved forward rapidly.
Passing through the area in front of the factory, Bai Ye leaped over the barbed wire fence.
Outside the fence was dense grass, taller than Bai Ye, capable of completely concealing him.
This provided Bai Ye with an advantage because it would obstruct the opponent's line of sight.
However, the opponent was cautious.
Bai Ye deliberately waited in the grass for a while. If the opponent lost sight of their target, they should move.
It was possible they would approach for combat or withdraw.
But it didn't matter to Bai Ye. As long as the opponent moved, he could pinpoint their exact location and then use teleportation to pursue them.
However, the opponent was more patient than Bai Ye had anticipated and didn't move rashly.
After waiting for a moment, Bai Ye began to move slowly, reaching out to push aside the grass in front of him.
But at that very moment...
The sound of rotating propellers suddenly echoed from the sky.
Bai Ye looked up. A remote-controlled drone appeared overhead, with two gun barrels beneath it, aimed at Bai Ye.
Rat-tat-tat, tat, tat...
Gunfire erupted, and a large number of bullets rained down on Bai Ye.
Bullets?
Bullets!
Oh, it's fine!
Not an energy weapon, but ordinary bullets, which were ineffective against Bai Ye.
Bai Ye quickly entered his elemental state, his body turning into electricity. The moment the bullets hit Bai Ye, they passed directly through his body and struck the ground behind him.
Ignoring the bullets, Bai Ye immediately waved his hand towards the sky.
The Steel Slime wriggled rapidly, transforming into the form of Yan Huang Fei Huo and darting into the sky, then becoming a heavenly fire.
Roar!
After the heavenly fire struck the drone, a massive fireball exploded in the air, blasting the drone to smithereens.
After this strike, Bai Ye followed up with a palm strike towards the ground.
Zzzt!
The sound of arcing electricity echoed, and large amounts of current surged outwards.
