On the second floor northwest corridor of the factory, intense gunfire rang out in succession, with countless bullets crazily striking the walls, leaving Conrad completely suppressed and unable to raise his head. Hearing Conrad's call for help, Luo An and Sean immediately moved quickly towards the second floor, while pressing the communicator, commanding: "Evelyn, protect the truck cabin! Reesi! Provide sniper support from a distance!" Evelyn shot and killed an enemy attempting to approach the truck from the corner, as Reesi quickly pivoted her sniper rifle's muzzle: Meanwhile, Luo An led Sean quickly to the second floor, threw two smoke grenades to block the enemy's line of sight, rolled on the ground and moved into a room, with Sean cautiously on alert. Luo An asked: Conrad didn't beat around the bush and directly showed the computer screen to Luo An, saying earnestly: "This computer isn't just a communication device; it's also transmitting and receiving information." Looking at the various flashing interfaces and progress bars on the screen, Luo An knit his brows tightly, pressed the communicator, briefly described the situation of the computer, and asked: "Mona, do you have any way to handle this?" "It's simple, I can establish a synchronized connection!" At the top of the building, Mona thought for a moment and immediately came up with a plan. While rapidly typing on the computer keyboard, she said: "Do as I say, first open the main program interface of that computer!" Luo An nodded, understanding. He and Mona had been together for so long; though he hadn't learned hacking skills, he picked up quite a bit of basic computer knowledge and immediately started following Mona's command. Seeing this, Conrad breathed a sigh of relief, quickly picked up a weapon, and joined Sean in fighting off the enemies. As the smoke gradually dispersed, Conrad and Sean were once again suppressed by gunfire, but with Mona's remote control, Luo An quickly resolved the issue on the computer, and a green checkmark appeared on the screen. With a snap, he closed the laptop screen, kicked the laptop into his chest, and Luo An looked up and said: "We can retreat now!" "The enemy is sending reinforcements!" Sean leaned sideways to dodge the bullets shot by the enemy, pointed to the staircase that Luo An and Sean had just climbed, his expression looking pretty grim: "Five enemy soldiers came up there; they've blocked our escape route." Conrad fired several shots at the enemies, then quickly dropped to the ground to avoid bullets, his brow furrowed as he said: "Calculate how much ammo and weapons we have left; we'll try to break through!" "No need, we have other methods." Luo An looked around, his mind working swiftly, and suddenly with a spark of an idea, he pressed down on the communicator and said: "Evelyn! Drive the truck here! We will jump onto it, and you drive us away!" The room where the three of them were on the second floor, with the truck a certain distance from the ground, meant that jumping down onto the truck could potentially lead to injuries, but it wouldn't be fatal. Evelyn quickly returned to the truck's cabin, pressed the accelerator to the floor, twisted the steering wheel, and drove the vehicle quickly in reverse towards the location of Luo An and company. From a distance, Reesi kept pulling the trigger, using her sniper rifle to fend off enemies trying to attack Evelyn. On a rampage, the truck quickly arrived below the room. Luo An, without any hesitation, hugged the computer and leaped down. Conrad followed closely behind, with Sean being the last to jump out from the room and landed heavily on the truck bed, the pain from the metal causing him to grimace. Kicking Sean to the edge of the truck's sideboard, Conrad quickly rolled towards the sideboard, and at the same time yelled out: "Group Leader Luo An, watch out for the enemy shooting at us!" Receiving the command, Evelyn immediately shifted gears without hesitation, starting the truck and driving quickly towards the factory exit. Group Leader Luo An pulled Anita with him to hide beside the truck bed's panel the second he jumped onto the truck. Upon hearing Conrad's words, and seeing enemies about to shoot from the second floor extending their heads out, Luo An's corners of his mouth lifted without a hint of panic as he took out a small remote control from his pocket, pressing it gently. In the next second, the abandoned garbage truck outside the building, as well as the first, second, third floors… everywhere Luo An had previously passed through, exploded all at once with the dozen remote-controlled bombs he planted! Dust rose, bricks flew, fire spread everywhere, enemies on the second floor ready to shoot were given a huge scare, and splintered parts of the abandoned garbage truck flew in every direction, with an unlucky guy directly impaled by a piece of metal in his chest. Through the sniper scope, seeing the truck leave calmly against the background of orange flames, Reesi, from a distance, broke into a smile and pressed her communicator, chuckling: "Thanks for the compliment." Relaxing, Luo An tossed the remote controller aside carelessly, his tense body slumped down in the truck bed, laughing: "Reesi, Mona, pack up, we're starting to retreat." Mona and Reesi responded in unison, beginning to pack up and prepare to leave the place. The truck, driven by Evelyn, sped away quickly; Sean sat up to tend to his wounds, while Conrad moved next to Anita to check on her condition. Luo An stood up to straighten his weapons, and said: "It's a truth serum." With furrowed brows and deep in thought, Conrad took out a syringe from his pocket, ready to inject Anita on the outer side of her thigh. Just as Conrad lifted his arm, Luo An suddenly raised his hand to stop him, his eyes narrowing slightly: Without responding to Luo An, Conrad instead questioned: Luo An sneered and said: "Anita has endured an interrogation with truth serum; her central nervous system has already been compromised. An overdose of adrenaline could cause her to become overly excited, increase her myocardial oxygen consumption, and ultimately lead to an untreatable myocardial infarction, resulting in instant death." Luo An didn't typically concern himself with this kind of decision paralysis habitual drug reliance seen in CIA agents, but not this time. It wasn't easy finding and rescuing Anita, and there were still many unresolved details. She couldn't be allowed to die at the hands of allies after avoiding death at the enemy's. Conrad didn't speak, just stared at Luo An, who remained calm and collected as they quietly looked at each other. Time ticked away second by second, and finally, Conrad was the first to shift his gaze, took a step back, retracted his arm, and put away the adrenaline: "Group Leader Luo An makes a persuasive point." Luo An didn't respond to Conrad; he gently placed the unconscious Anita on the truck bed, then pressed his communicator to ask: "Reesi, Mona, how are you doing over there?" Reesi answered with a smile: "The enemy tried to chase us, but we've shaken them off." "Good, remember to meet up at the predetermined location." Content orıginally comes from NovєlFіre.net Forty minutes later, at eleven o'clock in the evening, Monte Port's southern edge, an unoccupied house at the edge of a rural village. In the living room, Anita, with numerous injuries, lay unconscious on the couch while Evelyn squatted beside her, simply treating her wounds, and not far away, Sean and Reesi were organizing weapons. Inside the dining room, Mona sat on a chair, her fingers flying across the keyboard of a laptop brought back from the scene, while Luo An stood behind her calmly making coffee, and Conrad stood to the side with his arms crossed over his chest, a stern look on his face. Not long after, Mona paused in her movements, raised her head, and asked: "Everyone, two pieces of good news and three bad, which would you like to hear first?"
