Chapter 433: Chapter 430 [Deep Well Ice Children’s Squad?]

Chapter Four Hundred Thirty

On the rooftop of a building in the city center.

Perched atop the massive "Huaxia XX Insurance" signboard, Niveer stood with one foot on the steel frame, casually slipping the signal gun into her pocket.

A small backpack on the ground contained her outdoor survival equipment.

After jumping down from the steel frame, she rummaged through the gear, eventually grabbed an ice axe and swung it.

"Ah, no equipment," Niveer muttered, shaking her head.

In the sky, the sound of thunder rolled. Quickly, a figure swept through the stormy winds and descended, hovering above Niveer, looking down at her from on high.

The gaze of The Fourth Seed was complex as he examined Niveer.

Niveer looked up at the stranger flying above and then suddenly shouted, "Hey!"

The Fourth Seed squinted and, after thinking for a moment, descended slightly, stepping on top of the signboard. His eyes, still examining Niveer, were now tinged with a bit more suspicion.

"Who are you?"

"And who are you?" Niveer shook her head.

The Fourth Seed shook his head and said something quite strange, "It shouldn’t be you."

"Huh?"

Niveer raised an eyebrow, weighed the ice axe in her hand, and flashed a grin at The Fourth Seed. "That voice just now, that was you, right? Are you looking for Chen Nuo?"

"..."

"Can you tell me where Chen Nuo is?" Niveer juggled the ice axe up and down in her hand, her face beaming with a bright smile.

The Fourth Seed shook his head. "I don’t know where he is, but... he should be here soon, I guess."

Niveer instantly understood, and her eyes narrowed. "So... you plan to catch him here?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Hummingbird suddenly attacked!

The ice axe in her hand transformed into a streak of cold light aimed at The Fourth Seed. In a flash, it was before The Fourth Seed’s eyes. He furrowed his brow, casually flicked his finger, and the ice axe was sent flying, embedding itself with a CLANG into the advertisement frame beside them.

Sparks flew!

Meanwhile, Hummingbird had already leaped into the air, launching herself at The Fourth Seed, attempting to grab his throat with her slender fingers. He dodged with a swift shift in position, moving two meters away.

Having missed her grab, Niveer twisted her body mid-air with a cold sneer and suddenly drew the signal gun, pulling the trigger at The Fourth Seed’s head!

BANG!

The bright flare instantly pierced the darkness, the close-range brilliance causing The Fourth Seed to squint. At the same moment, Hummingbird roared, "Charge!"

SLASH!

A dazzling blade light emerged from a dark corner, striking The Fourth Seed!

Xicheng Xun’s petite figure darted out from the shadows under the signboard!

It seemed as if her slash had cut The Fourth Seed’s figure in two. But as the blade fell, Xicheng Xun immediately shouted, "Retreat!"

The silhouette split by the blade quickly turned into an afterimage, then reappeared two steps away.

Xicheng Xun’s command to retreat was followed by a sudden pause, as the tip of her Tachi was pinched by The Fourth Seed’s fingertips!

Xicheng Xun’s face changed as she felt a high-frequency vibration emanating from the blade. Lan Mei immediately let go without hesitation!

The moment her fingers released, the Tachi, starting from the tip, began to disintegrate, the steel blade shattering all the way to the handle in the blink of an eye!

Xicheng Xun reacted extremely quickly, but the moment she let go, the high-frequency vibrations still harmed her, twisting the muscles in her hand. She staggered back frantically. She managed to suppress the lingering effects of the vibration using her Body Technique abilities, yet her right sleeve was still visibly shredded into pieces!

"Catch!"

Hearing a fierce shout by her ear—it was Niveer’s voice—Xicheng Xun didn’t even look before she stretched out her hand to catch. Suddenly, a bundle of ropes was in her hand.

Niveer stood beside the signboard, one end of the rope attached to the ice axe, which was lodged in the signboard.

Xicheng Xun instantly understood. With a flick of her wrist, she coiled the rope around her arm a few times before flipping over and leaping down from the building!

As her body rapidly descended, she saw Niveer also jumping down from above. Xicheng Xun immediately gritted her teeth. While in midair, she spread her arms to increase air resistance and lower her descent speed. Meanwhile, Niveer expertly curled into a ball, rapidly catching up to Xicheng Xun. The two girls embraced in midair.

The rope quickly reached its limit! With a SNAP, the two were left hanging suspended in midair. Xicheng Xun let out a pained grunt. Then, the two girls dangled outside the skyscraper, next to the tempered glass window.

"We can’t get in!" Xicheng Xun fiercely pounded the tempered glass with her fist, immediately creating a spiderweb of cracks on it.

Niveer gasped for air but shook her head. "Don’t rush, she must be inside."

Atop the roof, the silhouette of The Fourth Seed drifted down slowly, saying coldly, "You can’t run..."

BANG!!

The Fourth Seed, who had been swiftly floating down from above and was in midair, suddenly came to a halt, as if struck by a force, and crashed sideways into the glass of the nearby building!

Tiny shards of glass fell everywhere. The two girls hanging below quickly hugged tightly together, trying to make themselves as small as possible.

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

Three consecutive gunshots echoed over the dark cityscape!

The last bullet passed close by the two girls, shattering the tempered glass of the building beside them!

Three anti-materiel sniper rounds were fired into the hole in the window where The Fourth Seed had been blasted.

About two hundred meters away on a footbridge, Li Yingwan coldly set down her anti-materiel sniper rifle, fiercely spat out the cigarette she’d been clenching in her mouth, and couldn’t help coughing.

Dammit, this body seems to really reject cigarettes, as if it’s never smoked before.

Looking up again through the sniper rifle’s scope, Li Yingwan verified that the two girls had rolled into the broken window. Then, Li Yingwan immediately picked up her rifle, briskly jumped off the footbridge, landed on the ground, and instantly got into the off-road vehicle beside her.

"The opponent is very strong!"

"How strong? Stronger than the BOSS?"

The two girls sprinted through the pitch-black building.

This was an office tower. In the open-plan office space, the two girls swiftly darted across cubicles, then burst into the corridor, running towards the elevator.

"It could be Controller level," Xicheng Xun said as they ran.

Niveer snorted. "So what? We’ve dealt with that before."

As they talked, they reached the elevator without slowing. Xicheng Xun directly pried open the elevator doors with her bare hands, while Niveer had already pulled off her belt.

Just then, with a BOOM, the ceiling at the end of the corridor shattered, revealing the figure of The Fourth Seed descending through the hole.

The two girls exchanged a look. Without a word, Niveer quickly leaped into the elevator shaft, using the belt in her hand as a rappelling line and descending rapidly.

Xicheng Xun’s eyes widened as she watched The Fourth Seed drift from the end of the corridor. The kendo girl took a deep breath, her complexion instantly turning deathly pale, and then...

She raised her hands towards the figure of The Fourth Seed and shouted, "Hey!"

Along the corridor, the glass partitions of the offices on both sides exploded, shattering with a blast!

The ceiling above crumbled instantly!

In the blink of an eye, The Fourth Seed was engulfed.

Xicheng Xun took a deep breath, her figure staggering, then she too jumped into the elevator shaft...

In the lobby of the office building, at the elevator entrance, Niveer stretched out her hand and pulled Xicheng Xun out, dragging her towards the exit in a mad dash.

Behind them, a terrible twisting noise suddenly came from the hall. The whole building shook, and visibly, countless cracks instantly appeared on the lobby walls!

The two girls exchanged a glance and, without a word, exerted their full strength and sprinted towards the lobby entrance!

Just as their figures dashed past the entrance, the building structure behind them suddenly collapsed! It was as if an invisible hand had crushed the entire building!

The two girls leaped onto the street. After landing, despite the severe pain from the fall, they immediately rolled away, staying low to the ground and forcibly scrambling forward for more than ten meters.

Niveer, in particular, pulled Xicheng Xun forcefully toward her, hugged her tightly, and rolled them beneath a concrete planter box...

The roaring sounds continued from behind. The twenty-plus-story building collapsed with a thunderous crash, all in the blink of an eye. More terrifyingly, an invisible force had slapped it down, flattening it! Countless steel rebars and concrete didn’t just snap but shattered instantly!

A seventy- to eighty-meter-tall building was compressed to less than five meters in height in an instant. Everything was flattened, like a nail hammered by a mallet!

The surrounding ground began to collapse as well!

The ground beneath the two girls started to crack extensively, and then parts of it began to cave in. They quickly darted away, sprinting towards the more open area of the road.

After running more than twenty steps, they heard a loud BOOM behind them; the ground had caved in to form a massive pit!

The exposed pit revealed that the building’s underground parking garage had been completely flattened and deformed!

SCREECH!

An SUV came speeding erratically, stopping less than ten meters away from the two girls. Through the lowered car window, they saw Li Yingwan sitting inside.

Li Yingwan had already jumped out of the car, but without looking at the two girls, she ran to the back, opened the trunk, and took out a shoulder-fired rocket launcher.

Firefly (Li Yingwan) stood in the middle of the street, legs slightly apart in a standard "A" stance. She sneered, gave the middle finger towards the distance, and then fired!

Niveer and Xicheng Xun rushed to the car. Niveer took the driver’s seat, and Xicheng Xun got into the passenger’s.

The rocket, trailing flames, was fired by Li Yingwan into the sky! It then struck the giant "XX Insurance" signboard atop the pile of building ruins, exploding instantly!

Above the ruins of the building, amid the dust, the figure of The Fourth Seed had just emerged when it was once again engulfed by flames and shattered steel frames!

"Let’s go!"

Li Yingwan dove into the car from the trunk and smacked the car body hard.

Niveer floored the accelerator, and the SUV roared off into the distance.

"You were a bit slow!" Niveer said angrily as she drove.

Li Yingwan climbed from the trunk into the back seat, quickly pulled out her gun, and checked the magazine. Her reply was no less sharp; she stated coldly, "I went to get gear."

"Where’d you get this stuff?"

"The armory! Going into battle unprepared like you two is what’s really stupid," Li Yingwan snorted.

"It seems like we’ve all gotten younger?"

"Not only that, it seems like we’re in 2002."

"How do you know?"

"The newspaper, dummy! I saw it at the newsstand on the roadside."

"So, when we were together earlier, why didn’t you speak and just ran away instead?"

"...Suddenly finding myself so young, and seeing that you two had also become so young, I didn’t dare speak rashly without understanding the situation. Besides, didn’t you also run away without saying anything?"

There was silence in the car for a while. Then Niveer spoke again in a low voice, "Do you two... remember what happened before?"

Li Yingwan was organizing her ammunition when her hands suddenly stilled. She took a deep breath...

"I remember I died, in London."

"Fox told me the BOSS was gone, and I lost my will to live... How about you?"

"Same. I... was capturing a target when Fox told me the BOSS, he..." Niveer smirked coldly. "Then I closed my eyes, and when I opened them, I was here!"

Li Yingwan suddenly got excited. "So, we haven’t died? Then... the BOSS must be alive too!"

"Didn’t you hear that voice? He’s after the BOSS! The BOSS is here too!"

The two looked at each other, then both turned towards Xicheng Xun. "What about you? Did you die too?"

"Stop arguing!" Xicheng Xun, sitting in the front passenger seat, stared intently at the rearview mirror, her teeth clenched. "He’s catching up!"

In the rearview mirror, on the road behind them, the silhouette of The Fourth Seed was racing towards them at breakneck speed!

His speed was several times faster than the speeding car, and in just a few blinks, he had caught up to them, less than fifty meters away!

BANG!

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG...

Without hesitation, Li Yingwan fired her gun, emptying a magazine!

However, The Fourth Seed seemed utterly unaffected by the bullets. It appeared there was an invisible shield in front of him; the bullets only caused slight ripples on its surface when they hit.

Li Yingwan’s expression was ice-cold, but she deftly threw out two egg-shaped grenades...

BOOM! BOOM! The grenades exploded one after another, one on each side of the road.

A streetlight pole on the left toppled with a crash, while a car on the right was blown sideways, conveniently creating an obstacle across the road.

As The Fourth Seed charged forward, he smashed through the lamppost and the car as if they were nothing, his speed seemingly undiminished!

The three women inside the car had grave expressions. Xicheng Xun took a deep breath and reached for the car door. "I’ll block him! You two find the BOSS quickly!"

"Don’t be foolish! You’re already injured; you can’t stop him!" Niveer immediately locked the car doors. Li Yingwan, from behind, grabbed Xicheng Xun in a hug.

"I specialize in Body Technique; I’m better at direct confrontation than either of you." Xicheng Xun struggled forcefully. She twisted her hand to grasp Li Yingwan’s wrist, shaking off her grip, and then reached for the car door again...

Just at that moment...

BOOM!!!

Suddenly, a meteor-like shadow shot sideways and collided with The Fourth Seed from behind! The two figures instantly tumbled together, changed direction, and crashed into a nearby building!

The body of The Fourth Seed pierced through the building like a cannonball. Meanwhile, the incoming meteor-like figure slammed hard into the ground, its momentum unabated, and burrowed into a concrete planter by the roadside, causing the planter to explode.

SCREECH!

The SUV slammed on its brakes!

Chen Nuo forcefully spat out a mouthful of mud and blood, then propped himself up. Before he could speak, he unleashed a full-powered Spiritual Storm into the building that had been smashed open on the roadside!

After releasing eight full-powered Spiritual Storms in quick succession, Chen Nuo suddenly felt a wave of mental disorientation. Only then did he turn his head and yell towards the stopped SUV, "Abandon the car! Get over here, quick!!"

The three women sat in the car, staring dumbfounded at Chen Nuo, then... they looked at each other.

"Uh... who is he?" — Niveer.

"He looks quite young." — Xicheng Xun.

"Looks like a pretty boy." — Li Yingwan.

Chen Nuo: "......."
