The wheels crunched over the gravel at the entrance of the abandoned factory, making a teeth-grinding sound.

The light dimmed instantly.

The enormous factory building resembled a steel monster with its mouth wide open, swallowing the yellow school bus whole.

The air was filled with the smells of engine oil, rust, and rotten wood.

That's the smell of death.

Sui Sui is all too familiar with this taste.

In that hellish laboratory, every piece of "waste" had to pass through this dark and damp corridor before it was processed.

"arrive."

The driver tucked the gun back into his waistband and pulled the handbrake.

He turned his head, a sinister smile on his fleshy face, his gaze sweeping across the carriage like a searchlight.

"You all better behave yourselves!"

"Anyone who dares to run around, I'll break their legs!"

The children in the carriage were already terrified.

Zhao Tianba huddled under the seat, his pants soaked, too afraid to even cry out loud, only able to make squeaking sounds like a little mouse.

The other children huddled together, trembling with fear.

Only the last row.

She still has that lollipop in her mouth every year.

The candy melted slowly in my mouth, and the sweet taste slightly diluted the rusty smell in the air.

She glanced at Gu Bei.

Gu Bei's hands were in his pockets, tightly gripping the wire probe he had taken from the mechanical pencil.

His palms were sweaty, but his eyes were frighteningly bright.

That's the excitement a hunter feels when he sees his prey about to step into a trap.

"three."

I count the years silently in my heart.

"two."

"one."

"Cough...cough cough cough!"

A violent cough suddenly broke the silence.

Sui Sui's little face instantly turned bright red, and the lollipop in her hand fell to the ground.

She gripped her own neck tightly with both hands, and slid off her seat, convulsing violently on the carriage floor like a fish out of water.

"Hmm...hmm..."

A wheezing sound, like her trachea was blocked, came from her throat.

"Help...help me..."

"My medicine...my medicine..."

Gu Bei reacted extremely quickly.

He suddenly lunged at Sui Sui, shouting in alarm, "Something's wrong! She's having an asthma attack!"

"She's dying! Help!"

The driver in front paused for a moment.

He was a ruthless killer who killed without blinking an eye.

But the order from above is—capture them alive.

Especially this S-001, that's the vessel that "God" specifically requested. If it dies on the way, even a hundred heads wouldn't be enough to chop it off!

"Damn it! What bad luck!"

The driver, cursing, unbuckled his seatbelt and stood up from the driver's seat.

"What happened? It was fine just now!"

He cursed as he strode toward the back of the carriage.

It's now!

Although Sui Sui's eyes were closed, her ears were perked up like radar.

Footsteps.

One step, two steps, three steps.

Distance: three meters.

Gu Bei's body blocked the driver's view.

Behind Gu Bei, the hand that was in his pocket had already silently reached for the car window latch.

It was a special steel wire only as thick as a human hair.

In Gu Bei's extremely skillful hands, it was even more useful than a key.

"Click".

A very slight, crisp sound.

The car window lock, which had been sealed shut with sheet metal, was opened.

At the same time, the driver had already walked up to them.

He roughly pushed Gu Bei away and reached out to grab Sui Sui's collar.

"Stop pretending to be dead! Get up, you bastard!"

The large, hairy hand, reeking of a strong stench of smoke, approached Sui Sui's face.

Sui Sui suddenly opened her eyes.

The pained expression he had been wearing as if he were about to die vanished instantly.

Instead, there was a chilling calm.

The driver's astonished face was reflected in those large, dark eyes.

"uncle."

The little hand of the seldom-soldier was pulled out from the inner compartment of the schoolbag.

He was holding three round metal balls in his hand.

"Have you heard of...?"

"What does 'catching a turtle in a jar' mean?"

"Ding!"

The pull ring was pulled open.

Sui Sui used all her strength to slam the three smoke bombs hard into the front, middle and rear of the carriage.

"Sizzle—!!!"

The white smoke, like an exploding cloud, instantly expanded in the narrow carriage.

Those were military-grade smoke grenades specially made by Chu Kuang.

Not only does it obstruct vision, but it also contains high concentrations of capsaicin and tear gas.

"Ah! Cough cough cough! My eyes!"

The driver was the first to be affected.

He was closest to Sui Sui and was directly hit by a cloud of thick smoke.

It felt like someone had poured a spoonful of boiling chili oil into his eyes and trachea.

"Get down!!!"

Sui Sui let out a loud roar, using all her strength.

This sound carried an undeniable authority.

The children, who were initially terrified, instinctively crouched down and covered their heads after hearing the shout.

Thick smoke instantly engulfed everything.

Everything was a vast expanse of white, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

"Gu Bei! Make your move!"

Sui Sui moved like a nimble cat through the smoke, instantly darting behind the driver who was still screaming in pain.

Her hand reached for the rabbit charm on her backpack strap.

Pull hard.

"Sizzle—!!!"

Blue arcs of electricity flickered in the smoke, like a ferocious lightning serpent.

50,000 volts of high voltage!

Without hesitation, Sui Sui slammed the conductive contacts on her backpack hard against the driver's lower back.

"Awooo—!!!"

The driver convulsed violently, as if he were breakdancing.

Two seconds later.

The burly man, standing at 1.85 meters tall, rolled his eyes, foamed at the mouth, and fell straight down.

"Bang!"

The impact shook the floor of the train carriage.

at the same time.

"Bang!"

Gu Bei kicked the car window open.

Fresh air rushed in.

"Quick! Run this way!"

Although Gu Bei's eyes were also watering from the smoke, he remained remarkably calm.

He grabbed Zhao Tianba, who was closest to him, and threw him out of the car window like a sandbag.

"Stop crying! Run if you want to live!"

Seeing this, the other children also scrambled and crawled towards the car window as if they had grasped at a straw.

"Queue up! Don't push!"

Gu Bei coughed as he maintained order.

At this moment, the four-year-old boy displayed innate leadership potential.

outside.

On the vacant lot of an abandoned factory.

The kidnappers who were waiting to meet them were all stunned.

They stared in disbelief at the school bus that suddenly billowed white smoke.

"What's going on? Is there a fire?"

"No! It's a smoke bomb!"

The bald man at the head of the group changed his expression.

He was the captain of this operation, codenamed "Wild Wolf".

He's a true martial arts expert; he's killed more people than all the children in this car combined.

"Damn it! I've been tricked!"

"Those two brats are up to no good!"

"Get them! Surround the cars! Don't let a single fly escape!"

Wild Wolf roared, drew his military knife from his waist, and led his men toward the school bus.

in the carriage.

Sui Sui heard footsteps outside.

It's chaotic and urgent.

There are at least five or six people.

"Gu Bei! Take the men and run! Head to the scrap heap on the right! There's a blind spot there!"

As Sui Sui shouted, she pulled the pistol from the driver's waist.

It's too heavy.

She couldn't hold it with either hand.

Moreover, the recoil could break her wrist.

Sui Sui decisively gave up the gun.

She reached into her bag and touched the hard, mechanical arm switch.

"And what about you?"

Gu Bei pushed the last child out and looked back at Sui Sui, who was deep in the smoke.

"I'll cover the rear."

Sui Sui's voice was very calm.

"They want me."

"As long as I'm here, they won't chase after you."

"Get out of here!"

Gu Bei gritted his teeth.

A flicker of struggle flashed in those gloomy eyes.

But he knew now was not the time to be sentimental.

Staying behind would only be a burden.

"Live!"

Gu Bei yelled and jumped out of the car window.

Sui Sui was the only one left in the carriage.

The smoke gradually dissipated.

Sui Sui stood in the middle of the aisle.

The small figure appeared and disappeared in the billowing white smoke.

She was carrying that pink backpack.

Like a lone warrior.

"Bang!"

The car door was violently kicked open.

The wolf led the men and charged forward.

He spotted Sui Sui standing in the smoke at a glance.

"Heh, that's interesting."

The wolf squinted at the little girl who was only as tall as his thigh.

"S-001, it truly lives up to its reputation."

"At such a young age, he was able to take down one of my men."

"It seems that God's judgment was correct."

The wolf held its breath, ignoring the capsaicin residue in the air.

He approached step by step.

That powerful sense of oppression felt like a mountain pressing down on us.

Each year, she took a step back.

Her hands were trembling.

It's not fear.

It was because that electric shock had drained most of the backpack's battery.

Moreover, this bald man is different from the driver from before.

His muscles were taut, his eyes sharp, and his steps steady.

This is a master.

"Be a good girl and come with your uncle."

The wolf revealed a cruel smile.

"Uncle promises not to cut your finger."

"Just use your brain."

Before he could finish speaking...

The wolf suddenly pounced.

It was as fast as a cheetah.

Sui Sui didn't have time to react at all.

A large, iron-like hand had already gripped the back of her neck and her clothes.

"Gotcha, you little mouse."

Sui Sui was lifted into the air.

Both feet off the ground.

That suffocating feeling of helplessness returned once again.

Just like that day in the cellar.

but.

This time.

Sui Sui's lips curled into a strange smile.

"uncle."

"Your mother didn't teach you..."

"Shouldn't you stop grabbing girls' bags?"
