Delta: I have a 1-Haf Coin instant kill system!

Just as Tie Yu lifted Lina up, a gunshot shattered the silence.

Bang--"

The moment the bullet pierced his right arm, blood spurted out.

Tie Yu roared in pain and instinctively released his grip.

Lina fell to the ground, her knee hitting the floor tiles.

She groaned, but without pausing, she rolled over and disappeared around the corner of the corridor in the blink of an eye.

The medical mask on her face was torn off during the fall, revealing a young face.

"Someone's there—"

Tie Yu had barely uttered two words when a second gunshot rang out.

This time, the bullet pierced the Asara soldier next to him who was raising his gun.

With a muffled groan, the gun slipped from his hand, and the Asara soldier fell straight backward.

Zhang Zhao crouched behind the earthen wall outside the side gate of the hospital, a wisp of smoke still rising from the muzzle of his M7 rifle.

His gaze never left the hall; the Relink brain-computer interface had already marked the outline of every living being in the room into his consciousness.

Not far behind him, Luna had already drawn her composite bow to its full extent, with three arrows nocked at the same time.

With a twang of the bowstring, arrows shot out in a fan shape, accurately piercing the throats of three armed men.

On the low rooftop opposite, the Haunted Claw Data Throwing Knife silently slashed across, accurately striking the side of a sentry's neck.

Gu then kicked open the iron gate and stepped into the hospital through the main entrance.

Fireflies swarmed around her, several streaks of light flashing past, leaving the remaining Asara soldiers with their faces covered in fireflies, their vision blurred.

The four men pulled the triggers almost simultaneously, wiping out the remaining resistance.

In just seven or eight seconds, only Lei Ting and Tie Yu remained standing in the hall.

Tie Yu was shot in the right arm, and his arm was hanging limply.

Thunder's gaze swept quickly across the entire hall, and he judged that the situation was completely out of his control.

Without hesitation, he grabbed Tie Yu and pulled out a smoke bomb with his right hand, then threw it to the ground.

"boom--"

Thick, grayish-white smoke instantly engulfed the area where the two people were.

Zhang Zhao stood up from behind the earthen wall. Although the Relink brain-computer interface could penetrate walls, the smoke bomb had the effect of shielding heat energy.

Luna put down the composite bow and shook her head.

"It's too late."

The monstrous claw descended from the rooftop back to the ground, a data-carrying knife spinning slowly between its fingertips.

"Should we pursue them or not?"

"No need," Gu's voice came from the other side of the hall. "Let's check the condition of the injured first."

At the corner of the corridor, Lina slowly stood up from behind the low wall.

She reached out and smoothed her slightly disheveled hair, her gaze sweeping across the hall and landing on the figure at the doorway.

Zhang Zhao walked in carrying a gun, and their eyes met under the light.

Lina looked at the gun in his hand, then at the patch on his left arm. "GTI?"

Zhang Zhao nodded. "You know us?"

"I've heard of it," Lina said, bending down to pick up the mask that had fallen to the ground.

"You arrived just in time; any later and I might have really had to go with those people."

"Why did they come looking for you?" Gu also walked over, her tone direct.

Lina folded the mask and put it in her pocket. "They said their boss needs me to go with him, but they didn't say a word about who it is or what illness it has. But judging from their demeanor..."

She paused for a moment, then said, "It's probably not a good thing."

In the corner of the hall, the young man in gray struggled to sit up.

Zhang Zhao walked over, squatted down, and examined the wound. "The bullet didn't hit the bone, but it needs cleaning."

Lina walked over, glanced at the young man's shoulder, and immediately knelt down. "Let me do it."

She pulled open the torn cuff and examined the wound. "The bone is fine, but it's best to stitch it up. Come with me to the examination room on the second floor."

She helped the young man to his feet and walked towards the stairwell, but stopped halfway down, turning her head to look at Zhang Zhao and the others.

"Do you want to come up too? Utan City is in a bit of a turmoil right now..."

Gu and Hazel exchanged a glance. "Alright!"

The second-floor consultation room wasn't large, but it had everything you'd expect.

Lina helped the young man onto the examination bed, then turned and took out a suture kit from the cabinet.

She was skilled and quick, and each stitch was clean and precise.

"You were a military doctor?" Luna asked, leaning against the door.

"I guess so," Lina said without looking up, her pliers firmly gripping the needle as it pierced her skin.

"My father was a Doctors Without Borders, an international humanitarian aid organization... He taught me a lot."

Zhang Zhao leaned against the window, his gaze sweeping across the empty streets outside.

The city of Wutan was eerily quiet under the cover of night, with only occasional gusts of wind and sand sweeping across the road.

"How many Asara soldiers are left in the city?"

Lina cut the sutures and put down the instruments.

"It's hard to say, but as far as I know, they've been in the city for almost two days."

"On the first day, they specifically targeted jewelry stores and pharmacies for robbery; on the second day, they started arresting people from house to house."

"A jewelry store and a pharmacy?"

Zhang Zhao began to suspect something. Could these two items be what Reis wanted?

He couldn't help but recall Reese's image in the game from his previous life, with his big gold teeth!

But both times Zhang Zhao saw the other person, their teeth were still gleaming white.

Could it be that he had his teeth replaced after Demulan knocked them out?

So, I guess this medicine was also used to treat Reis?

Perhaps their desire to take Lina away was also for the purpose of treating Reis...

Gu walked quickly to the window and glanced at the signal on the tablet.

"Headquarters received the message and sent Deep Blue and Flint to lead the team, heading southwest. We are responsible for the northeast area."

As soon as Gu finished speaking, she swiped her finger across the screen, then stopped.

Zhang Zhao noticed the change in her.

"What's wrong?" Hawthorn asked.

Gu didn't answer immediately, but stared at the screen for a few seconds before looking up and raising the corners of her mouth in a rare smile.

"Good news—Dragon and Red Wolf have both been matched."

There was a moment of silence in the consultation room.

"Matched?" Luna put down her composite bow and turned around.

Gu nodded. "News just came from headquarters! Red Wolf's leg nerve signals are 97% compatible with his exoskeleton, and Dragon's are 96%!"

She paused for a moment, then added, "Both of them have completed the initial compatibility test and are currently resting and recovering."

Zhang Zhao leaned against the window and, upon hearing the news, finally felt relieved.

Both Red Wolf and Dragon can stand up again!

No, it's not just about standing up!

It can even be used to break through existing limits!

"However..." Gu put the tablet away, her tone becoming more formal again.

"They need to rest and cannot participate in combat for a short period of time."

"Therefore, the four of us are currently the only combat force that can be mobilized for this operation."

The monstrous claw leaned against the doorframe of the examination room.

"That's perfect. The four of us are enough for this area of ​​Wutan City."
