The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human? Chapter 1346 821: It's Over, This Is Truly Russian Rescue Now (Part 2)

"Luo Ping!" Liu Zheng bellowed.

"Yes." Luo Ping responded, his eyes shutting as he engaged his special ability.

"Lin Huang Jiao Jiao has been brought inside," his voice soon echoed to Niu Daji, who immediately relayed the message to Liu Zheng.

"Let's move," Liu Zheng commanded, leading the group into the luxurious villa.

The moment they stepped inside, a furious volley of gunfire erupted, showering them.

Despite the villa being plunged into darkness, the muzzle flashes burned brighter than any lamp.

And as expected, these were no ordinary bullets; each one, no smaller than a thumb, bore an intricate rune.

"Copper Wall Iron Wall!"

Facing the onslaught, Niu Daji shoved Luo Ping behind him and charged forward, his bulky frame acting as a shield for everyone.

He wasn't foolish enough to rely solely on his physique, instead ducking low, his head protected by the Inherited Treasure Armor as he advanced.

Though the sight was somewhat comical, it proved effective. A single stray bullet managed to nick his face, but the Treasure Armor pulverized the rest, reducing them to mere scrap.

"Lesser Yang Xiguang Banner!"

Panda summoned his Lifebound Magical Treasure, its radiant banner instantly banishing the oppressive darkness, bathing the villa in a light as bright as day.

"Intestine-breaking Rain Needle!"

With the precision of a surgeon, Bai Tianshi instantly identified every enemy combatant and unleashed a torrent of steel needles.

Witnessing the needle barrage, Panda swiftly retracted his treasure flag, plunging the villa back into pitch-blackness.

The needles, as fine as silken threads and moving with blinding speed, left the bodyguards in the dark struggling to discern their attackers, leading to erratic dodges and blocks.

Naturally, some of the more cunning bodyguards used their comrades as shields.

"Argh!"

"Hiss!"

"Orni, I despise you!"

Screams and enraged curses filled the air as the formerly composed bodyguards descended into utter pandemonium.

Soon, their screams fell silent.

The needles, it turned out, were poisoned.

Bai Tianshi was treating his first full team mission with utmost seriousness, bringing not only all his personal belongings but also borrowing several powerful artifacts from Bai Yutang.

The "Intestine-breaking Rain Needle" technique was named for the needles themselves, and the "intestine-breaking" aspect stemmed from the potent poison coating them.

Excessive grief and resentment could lead to intestinal rupture; the more burdened a person's heart, the more this Intestine-breaking Poison would intensify their suffering, accelerating their demise as their sorrows and grudges dissolved.

It was evident that no optimists were among these bodyguards, each one carrying a heavier burden of resentment than the last.

"Lesser Yang Xiguang Banner!"

Panda once again conjured his Lifebound Magical Treasure, suffusing the villa with its gentle illumination.

And in that warm, dawn-like glow, a horrifying tableau was revealed to all.

Bodyguards of various races lay uniformly sprawled on the ground, clutching their stomachs, their faces contorted in agony, eyes wide open in death.

Their abdomens had been tragically corroded by the potent Poison Liquid, their internal organs spilling forth, leaving only their intestines entangled as if in a desperate struggle, strangling each other to death.

"Tsk, you physicians are truly merciless,"

Panda gazed at Bai Tianshi with a mixture of awe and surprise.

He had initially held a somewhat dismissive view of this pretty boy, never anticipating such brutal efficiency from him on their first engagement.

Should they ever face off, while he might eventually prevail, the victory would undoubtedly come at a significant cost.

"This Intestine-breaking Poison is Heaven-defying and is classified as a forbidden substance within our clan. The Family Head only permitted its use due to the boss's influence."

Bai Tianshi offered an explanation.

Those who witness the power of poisons typically gravitate towards two extremes: either becoming fervent advocates who believe poisons are the solution to all problems, or developing a deep-seated fear, viewing poison users as inherently dangerous threats.

Either path is detrimental to the Bai Family, hence their reluctance to employ poisons, particularly against outsiders.

This instance was an exception, facilitated by a substantial debt of gratitude and Bai Yutang's unwavering trust in Liu Zheng's integrity, which prompted him to entrust the Intestine-breaking Poison to Bai Tianshi.

Should any repercussions arise, Bai Yutang would bear the primary responsibility.

"Rest assured, this kindness will not be forgotten or go unrewarded,"

Liu Zheng assured, placing a reassuring hand on Bai Tianshi's shoulder.

"Boss, Luo Ping reports the hostage is downstairs, but they've taken the key with them."

Niu Daji indicated a specific section of the floor.

"Ah Bao, any insights?"

He turned his gaze towards Panda.

"Well, I might have a method, but I've only just begun practicing this spell. If it falters, you can't hold me accountable."

Panda expressed with a moment's hesitation before speaking.

"No more delays, proceed at once."

Liu Zheng urged impatiently.

"Why the urgency? Even my master wasn't this demanding,"

Panda grumbled softly, his paws already in motion, deftly drawing talismans upon the floor.

"Yin and Yang inverted, the heavens and earth flip!"

After the talismans were finished, he sliced his palm open, letting his blood drip onto the floor.

Instantly, a crimson light flared, and the ground quaked violently. A substantial portion of the floor vanished along with the layer beneath it, revealing a square pit.

"Where did you send them?"

Liu Zheng, momentarily taken aback, inquired.

"I'm not sure, as I told you, I just learned this. If it goes wrong, you can't blame me,"

Panda replied innocently.

"I'm not blaming you, but shouldn't you know the results of the spell?"

He responded, feeling speechless.

"Technically speaking..."

Panda was about to elaborate on the spell's effects when his ears twitched.

"Boss, I know where they went,"

He announced.

"Where?"

Liu Zheng questioned.

"Up in the sky, and they're descending right now."

As he spoke, the villa's ceiling was ripped apart, layer by layer, and a metallic container, laden with vast amounts of soil, plummeted into the pit.

"Boom!"

Following the thunderous impact, an unnerving silence fell.

"Do you think the folks inside became minced meat or meatballs?"

Liu Zheng finally asked.

Facing his question, Bai Tianshi and Luo Ping exchanged glances, while Panda remained silent, not daring to utter a word.

In this predicament, only the undeniable third-generation backup and chief subordinate, Niu Daji, dared to respond.

"Boss, don't lose hope, maybe the hostages are still alive,"

He offered brave words of comfort.

"Is that so? Then open it up and let's see."

Liu Zheng stated expressionlessly.

As the team's designated tank, opening the chamber door was naturally Niu Daji's responsibility.

"Yes..."

Niu Daji leaped into the pit and approached the mangled metal door.

"Be ready for engagement."

Despite his exasperation, Liu Zheng still instructed everyone to prepare for action.

"Yes!"

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Niu Daji gripped the edges of the door frame and, after a strenuous effort, finally ripped the door free.

"Boss, I see both of them!"

Niu Daji exclaimed in astonishment after peering into the chamber.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng also descended into the pit and walked directly into the chamber.

The scene within the chamber was scarcely better than where the bodyguards had been poisoned; severed limbs, grotesquely deformed flesh, and copious amounts of blood and bodily fluids were scattered everywhere.

In one corner of the chamber, two women were contorted in an unusual embrace.

Each had one hand wrapped around the other's neck while simultaneously pressing a hand against the other's chest, as if clinging on yet trying to maintain distance.

Their facial features bore a striking resemblance, but the one positioned above was considerably younger than the one beneath.

"Boss, the one on top is Lin Pinru, and the one below is her mother, Lin Huang Jiao Jiao,"

Having encountered Lin Huang Jiao Jiao and her son previously, Niu Daji identified them.

"Cough!"

Upon hearing his voice, Lin Pinru coughed up blood and strained to look at the two men.

"Help, help me..."

She uttered weakly, yet with a trace of force.

"Tianshi!"

"Here!"

Liu Zheng called out, and Bai Tianshi, who had been waiting outside, immediately responded.

"Save them."

"Understood."

Bai Tianshi entered the chamber and frowned upon observing the two women.

Injuries sustained from a high fall are notoriously difficult to treat, affecting widespread areas and characterized by severe internal damage masked by seemingly minor external signs. Without proper medical instruments, assessing internal injuries through a physical examination alone presents a significant challenge.
