Taking a deep breath, Li Yao shot the fire hose that was connected to the sprayer at the top of the steel cable. After a few "BAM BAM" sounds, the hose bounced and bounced on the walls of the narrow elevator shaft and finally wrapped around a section of the steel cable above.
At the same time, seven or eight iron nails shot out like lightning and hit the steel cable below. Sparks flew everywhere as the steel cable was broken in half.
The four people who were hanging below the steel cable immediately started shaking violently. Zhang Daniu even let out a shriek like a pig being slaughtered.
Li Yao took the opportunity to wrap the rest of the fire hose around his waist and jumped down. Like a fierce vulture, he landed on the head of the first brawny man.
This brawny man was also an elite among the awakened ones. Despite being ambushed, he didn't panic at all. With a roar, he punched upwards. While his fist was still halfway there, he suddenly spread out his five fingers and turned his fist into a claw. His arms and palms seemed to have undergone a deformed mutation. His arms were covered in green scales, and when his muscles swelled, they actually burst his sleeves. His fingers simply turned into five claws as sharp as daggers. They tore apart the tactical gloves and grabbed towards Li Yao.
Five iron claws swept out in the darkness, creating five silver lights. The shrill sound of wind breaking filled the entire elevator shaft.
Li Yao's pupils suddenly shrank. He clearly analyzed the opponent's iron claws' subsequent route and changes. His whole body curled up into a ball, narrowly avoiding the iron claws' slash. The two of them, one above and one below, passed each other. Li Yao spat out an iron nail from his mouth. It hit the hunter's eyeball, deeply embedding it and completely bursting it.
The brawny man with iron claws screamed in pain. Li Yao took the opportunity to grab his neck and pulled him down into the depths of the elevator shaft, making a muffled sound. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
But Li Yao, on the other hand, drew a pistol from his bulging waist while he was dragging him.
Strangely enough, Li Yao had never touched a real gun before. At most, he played with toy models. But when the cold metal touched his hand, it was as if it had become a life with temperature and spirituality. He grasped the center of gravity and axis of the pistol in an instant. He also knew every part of the gun like the back of his hand. Opening the safety, Li Yao didn't need to aim at all. He shot all nine bullets into the darkness below.
His movements seemed casual and even disorderly. He didn't aim at the two hunters below at all. Instead, he aimed at the four walls of the elevator shaft.
However, when the flying bullets kept bouncing off the walls and bouncing back, they formed a fatal trap for the Awakened at the bottom. The bullets turned into venomous fangs that shot at him from nine strange angles, making it almost impossible to block or dodge them.
This hunter should be an expert in firearms. The moment Li Yao appeared, he wrapped his legs around the steel cable. His hands were free, holding a pistol in each hand. He was ready to face the threat from above.
His helmet and bulletproof vest could also resist most of the threats from above and from the front.
But he didn't expect Li Yao to not play by the rules. After a series of chaotic bounces, the bullets shot from the side and below him. Even though he dodged left and right, dodging and blocking the first six bullets, three bullets hit his feet, thighs, and waist. He could no longer grip the steel cable and fell to the bottom of the elevator shaft, disappearing in the deafening roar.
Next, there was only one hunter left. He seemed to be the most powerful one.
In the darkness, the Awakened's blue eyes sparkled. Accompanied by a murmur deep in his throat, the sound of wind whistling suddenly came from the narrow elevator shaft. The sound of the wind became extremely sharp in an instant, as if it was compressed into invisible wind blades by a mysterious force.
The hunter's grunt turned into a deadly whistle.
Li Yao immediately sensed invisible wind blades, like transparent vipers, coming at him from all directions.
"Swoosh!"
A moment of carelessness and his cheeks were cut by the wind blades. Hot blood flowed out.
In such a narrow and dark combat environment, invisible wind blades were indeed the best weapon. No wonder the 'hunter' sent this hunter to escort Daniel Zhang.
Unfortunately, they encountered Li Yao.
Li Yao grinned. Dark red flames were flowing on the edge of his palm. Suddenly, he slashed backward and did something that nobody could have foreseen.
He cut the steel cable hanging in the air.
This steel cable supported the weight of Li Yao, Daniel Zhang, and the hunter. When the steel cable was cut, the three of them were naturally controlled by gravity and fell down at the same time.
However, the hunter was caught off guard. He also had to suppress Daniel Zhang, who was waving his hands and struggling like a pig being slaughtered. How could he control his body accurately? For a moment, whether it was the whistle or the wind blades, they were half a beat slower.
Li Yao, on the other hand, was long prepared. The moment the steel cable was broken, he swung away and stomped on the wall of the elevator shaft heavily. He turned into a roaring cannonball and dashed below the Awakened and Zhang Daniu, dodging the most aggressive wind blades of the enemy by a hair's breadth.
"Swoosh!"
Li Yao opened his mouth and spat out two more iron nails from under his tongue. They pierced the hunter's eyes.
The hunter had already seen how his first companion was hit. Naturally, he attached great importance to Li Yao's iron nails and his eyes. He reacted immediately. His head tilted back, and the two iron nails shot past his eyelids.
Unexpectedly, Li Yao was just a feint. From the beginning, his target was his throat. He raised his head and exposed his throat, which was exactly what Li Yao wanted. He chopped the hunter's throat with his hand, almost cutting his Adam's apple.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss!"
The Awakened clutched his throat and hissed like a balloon that had leaked air. How could he whistle?
Li Yao guessed that the hunter had to use whistling to control the wind blades. His throat was injured, and he couldn't make a sound. The threat was reduced by 90%. He followed up with a kick, hitting the hunter's chest. The hunter's only sound was sealed deep in his throat. At the same time, he accelerated the hunter's fall. He shot out another fire hose and wrapped it around Daniel Zhang's feet.
"Bang!"
At this time, the fire hose wrapped around Li Yao's waist above the steel cable was stretched to the end of its length.
The fire hose and the steel cable above were not knotted. They were only entangled together by friction. Naturally, they couldn't support the weight of Li Yao and Daniel Zhang. They only slowed down their fall.
But for a monster like Li Yao, such a buffer was enough for him to control his body and drag the screaming and twisting Daniel Zhang. He used the method of constantly jumping to cushion the fall of the two. They fell all the way down seventy to eighty meters and slowly landed below the elevator shaft.
"Bang!"
On the first floor, Li Yao kicked open the elevator door from the inside. He dragged out Daniel Zhang, who was screaming until his throat was hoarse and struggling until he was exhausted.
"Huff! Huff! Huff! Huff! "
Daniel Zhang's face was green, and his whole body was trembling. His legs were like springs, and he couldn't stand up no matter how hard he tried. It was obvious that the fierce battle in the elevator shaft had frightened him. He stared at Li Yao for half a minute, and then his face gradually turned red. His eyes shone with a light of hope.
"Li Yao!"
Looking at his expression, he really wanted to hug Li Yao and cry. Daniel Zhang said in a trembling voice, "Thank God, you're finally here! You don't know how those bad guys from the Apocalypse Organization dealt with me. They threatened me with bribes, tortured me, and even threatened to cut me into pieces for research. They're not human, they're a bunch of demons!
"But I'm a man of steel. I won't give in just like that! 'Don't be corrupted by riches and honor, and don't submit to force.' This is my life motto. It's my principle, my principle! Don't worry, no matter how they tortured me, tortured me, threatened me, and even sent two beautiful agents to seduce me, I didn't tell your secret! Because I firmly believed that my good brother Li Yao would definitely risk his life to save me! You really came, my good brother. You're really loyal! "
"Mr. Niu …"
Li Yao was silent for a while. He wiped the blood off his face and said, "Don't forget that we have a listening device. I heard your conversation with the Hunter."
"Is that so?"
Daniel Zhang blinked quickly. His expression was very natural, and his gaze was very open. "Then you must have discovered how I used my superb acting skills to feign civility with him, helped you stall for time, and even got important information out of him, right?"
"Stop talking, Mr. Niu. Stop talking."
Li Yao took a deep, deep breath. "Before I change my mind, please give me some time alone. Let's get out of here."
Li Yao was not sure if there were any more traps in the lobby on the first floor, but he led Daniel Zhang out of the ventilation window of the toilet and came to the shabby alley behind the Fortune Plaza.
The terrain there was higher, and there were a few cars parked on the side of the road that were not submerged by the water. Li Yao smashed the window of a multi-purpose off-road vehicle with a punch, opened the door by force, and stuffed Daniel Zhang into it.
Looking out from the rearview mirror, many of the windows of the Fortune Building were emitting thick and sticky black smoke, just like a demon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. The building had become a demon building.
Countless streams of black smoke, like living claws, grabbed Li Yao and Daniel Zhang.
"We've been discovered so quickly?"
Li Yao sniffed. His fingers were like iron hooks as he tore the panel below the control panel and grabbed a bunch of wires.
"There's only one chance. I must …"
Following his instincts, he let the bioelectricity surging in his nerves have a natural reaction with the wires of the car. Sparks flowed from the depths of his cells into the control circuits and the engine of the car.
