Allen was experienced. Regardless of whether Li Chengjie was dead or who the attacker was, the fact that someone attacked was the key. Since that was the case, it was natural to hide first and figure out the opponent's tactics.
Hiding back inside the factory, a group of people split into two sides, taking cover on either side of the factory's main entrance.
Ji Ruyue knelt on the ground, quickly tearing open Li Chengjie's clothes to examine his wounds.
Bai Ye stealthily glanced over. This guy seemed to be on his last legs.
The gunshot wound on his chest was close to his heart, but the heart shouldn't have been pierced, as Li Chengjie was still breathing.
However, he was barely clinging to life, with more air going in than out.
Ji Ruyue immediately injected Li Chengjie with adrenaline, but it was of no use. What was the difference between dying in ten minutes or twenty? Ten more minutes to say his last words?
Without any resuscitation equipment, only relying on emergency medical supplies, such a wound could not be treated.
Bai Ye silently thanked the attacker, "Well done."
Then, Bai Ye quietly glanced outside the door. There was no movement.
But no movement didn't mean they could act rashly; the opponent might be waiting with a gun.
Allen decisively gestured, signaling Davis to check if the factory had other exits, and then asked Gonzales to find a suitable firing position and set up the gun.
After giving the orders, Allen suddenly darted towards Bai Ye. With one hand supporting himself on the ground, he quickly flipped over and glided past the factory entrance.
The movement was beautiful, fluid, and agile, but...
The opponent didn't fire...
No matter how beautiful it was, it looked foolish.
Allen didn't care. Coming to Bai Ye's side, he pressed his back against the wall and asked Bai Ye, "Can those crystal people use weapons?"
Bai Ye nodded, "Yes!"
This was not a lie; those crystal people could indeed use weapons.
Rhine Corporation manufactured "warriors," so what kind of warriors would they be if they couldn't use weapons?
However...
Bai Ye scratched his head, feeling that the shot that killed Li Chengjie didn't seem like something a crystal person would do.
At this very moment...
Gonzales, who had gone to the second floor, suddenly shouted, "Hey, look up, there's something."
Gonzales's expression was anxious as he shouted and pointed at the roof.
The roof in the center of the factory was made of glass, and a part of it had already shattered, allowing some light to be seen scattering down.
Allen frowned, then raised his gun and fired upwards.
The glass panels were continuously shattered, scattering downwards. Then, looking out through the broken parts...
"Magic array patterns?"
Bai Ye's pupils contracted sharply.
Above the factory was a huge red magic array pattern.
Light transformed into lines, gradually outlining and slowly forming magic runes.
If nothing unexpected happened, this should be a large-scale area-of-effect magic array. Once the array was fully formed, magic would immediately bombard the factory.
Furthermore...
The City of Ruins was a futuristic technological zone, so how could there be magic array patterns?
If there was only one possible explanation, it would be...
The Chosen!
Bai Ye's thoughts raced, and then he shouted to Allen, "Leave here, now, immediately!"
Allen said, "There are snipers outside."
Bai Ye replied, "Snipers can at least leave you a complete corpse. If you stay, you won't even have ashes left."
As Bai Ye spoke, he swiftly moved and rushed out of the factory.
Bang!
A gunshot suddenly rang out.
An energy beam appeared before Bai Ye. Just as it was about to hit Bai Ye...
Zzzzz!
Currents appeared on Bai Ye's body, and then Bai Ye's figure flickered, shifting half a meter to the side.
The energy beam hit the ground, shattering a piece of it.
Since the opponent was a Chosen, Bai Ye naturally stopped holding back. More accurately, holding back might not be enough to deal with them.
After moving quickly and creating distance, Bai Ye also determined the opponent's location through the direction of the energy beam.
On the other side, Allen also shouted loudly, "Leave, hurry and leave here!"
Bai Ye had attracted the firepower, and Allen naturally wouldn't miss such an opportunity. He immediately led his men out of the factory.
And the moment Allen led everyone out of the factory...
Boom!
In the sky, within the massive magic array pattern, a huge explosion occurred.
The next instant, crimson flames poured down from the magic array pattern like a waterfall, transforming into a giant pillar of fire that engulfed the factory.
Amidst the explosion, the factory seemed to have a piece forcibly dug out, with everything burned to ashes.
If they had continued to stay inside, Allen and the others would indeed have been reduced to ashes.
At the same time...
Bai Ye moved forward rapidly.
Passing through the area in front of the factory, Bai Ye leaped over the barbed wire.
Outside the barbed wire were dense weeds, growing taller than Bai Ye, completely concealing him.
This provided Bai Ye with an advantage, as it would obstruct the opponent's line of sight.
However, the opponent was cautious.
Bai Ye deliberately waited for a while in the grass. If the opponent lost sight of their target, they should move.
Whether it was to close in for combat or to retreat was possible.
But it didn't matter to Bai Ye. As long as the opponent moved, he could pinpoint their exact location and then use teleportation to pursue them.
However, the opponent was more patient than Bai Ye had imagined, and did not move rashly.
After waiting for a moment, Bai Ye began to move slowly, reaching out to push aside the weeds in front of him.
But at this very moment...
The sound of rotating propellers suddenly echoed from the sky.
Bai Ye looked up and saw a remote-controlled drone appearing overhead, with two gun barrels pointed at Bai Ye.
Tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk...
Gunfire erupted, and a large number of bullets rained down on Bai Ye.
Bullets?
Bullets!
Oh, never mind!
It wasn't an energy weapon, but ordinary bullets, which were ineffective against Bai Ye.
Bai Ye quickly entered his elementalization state, his body turning into electricity. The moment the bullets hit Bai Ye, they passed directly through his body and hit the ground behind him.
Ignoring the bullets, Bai Ye immediately waved his hand towards the sky.
The Steel Slime wriggled rapidly, transforming into the appearance of the Blazing Phoenix Fire, darting into the sky, and then turning into a heavenly fire.
Rumble!
After the heavenly fire struck the drone, a massive fireball exploded in the air, blasting the drone into pieces.
With a single strike, Bai Ye followed up by slamming his palm onto the ground.
Zzzzz!
The sound of crackling arcs of electricity echoed, and a large amount of current surged outwards in all directions.
