Chapter 261 Breaking Through the Perilous Situation
The abandoned machine repair warehouse is an abandoned machine repair factory. The hall is empty and gloomy, as if time has stood still here.
On both sides are spaces composed of small workshops, which used to be places where machines roared.
Now only silence and desolation remain.
The walls were covered in rust, and the floor was covered with a thick layer of dust and debris.
Occasionally, you can see some old tools and parts scattered around.
Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan hid behind a brick pillar, their hearts pounding.
When they first broke in, they had no idea they would encounter such a dangerous situation.
At this moment, the surroundings were so quiet it was suffocating, with only the faint sound of the wind in the distance breaking the silence.
"Fight 110!"
Qiu Ziyue lowered her voice, a hint of nervousness in her eyes.
Qi Yuxuan quickly took out his phone and dialed 110 (the police emergency number) with trembling fingers.
"We...we're in an abandoned machine repair shop, and there are unidentified armed men lurking there! Requesting immediate backup!"
He tried to remain calm, but his voice still carried a hint of panic.
Just when they thought they were safe for the time being, a light footstep came from above.
Looking up, I saw a gunman dressed in a black bodysuit.
It was quietly lurking on a huge electric pickaxe in the center of the hall.
The gunman's sharp eyes locked onto their position.
"careful!"
Qiu Ziyue shoved Qi Yuxuan away abruptly, and the two retreated back behind the pillar.
The bullets struck the spot where they had just been standing.
Sparks flew everywhere, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder.
"How to do?"
Qi Yuxuan's voice was somewhat hurried.
"Don't panic,"
Qiu Ziyue took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
"We can't hide here forever; we have to find a way to break out."
At this point, the gunman seemed to realize that the two wouldn't easily show themselves.
They began to slowly move to find a better shooting angle.
Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan exchanged a glance, conveying a firm resolve to each other.
"listen to me,"
Qi Yuxuan said in a low voice,
"I'll distract him, and you take the opportunity to find a way to escape, then go outside to meet the police."
"No, it's too dangerous!"
Qiu Ziyue strongly opposed it.
"We should act together."
"This is the only way."
Qi Yuxuan gritted his teeth.
"I believe in you. Remember, you must get out of here alive and tell the police our location."
After saying that, he suddenly leaned out from behind the pillar, deliberately making some noise.
The gunman immediately pointed his gun at him, and several shots shattered the brief silence.
Meanwhile, taking advantage of the gunman's distraction, Qiu Ziyue quickly bypassed the pillar and ran towards the small workshop on the side.
Qi Yuxuan continued to deal with the gunman.
On the other side, Qiu Ziyue flipped over and leaped up, passing through one narrow workshop after another.
She quickly searched the edge of the hall and found a few nuts and half a brick.
She gripped the brick tightly in her hand, took a deep breath, and decided to go all in.
Hey! Look here!
Qiu Ziyue shouted, attracting the gunman's attention.
She grabbed a brick and threw it forcefully at the gunman.
The gunman tilted his head and easily dodged the first brick, but he obviously did not expect the second wave of attacks to follow.
Qiu Ziyue then threw out a handful of old screws, this time with even greater speed and force.
It was just like a barrage of pear blossom needles thrown out in ancient times, catching the gunman completely off guard.
He tried to dodge again, but lost his balance and fell off the electric pick.
He fell heavily to the ground with a thud, and the gun in his hand slipped to the side.
This sudden turn of events brought Qiu Ziyue a sigh of relief, but she knew that this was far from over.
The gunman quickly picked up the dropped pistol, but due to his serious injuries, he tried to escape but found he couldn't stand up.
He quickly checked the magazine and found that there were very few bullets left.
He quickly aimed at Qi Yuxuan and fired several shots.
Qi Yuxuan was unable to dodge in time and was shot in the shoulder.
Enraged, Qiu Ziyue used her lightness skill to fly to the gunman's side and stepped on his chest.
"Tell me, who sent you?"
Qiu Ziyue said angrily.
The gunman chuckled, then, with only one bullet left, he shot himself.
"Come on!"
Qiu Ziyue ran over again and helped Qi Yuxuan up.
The two quickly ran towards the exit.
At this moment, Li Tao fired another shot from the small workshop, but he had clearly lost the initiative.
Qiu Ziyue looked back and, after confirming that it was temporarily safe, quickened her pace.
Li Tao also jumped out of an old, dilapidated window and ran away.
Qiu Ziyue helped the injured Qi Yuxuan escape from the abandoned machine repair factory.
My heartbeat still hadn't calmed down.
As the night deepened, the sound of sirens drew near, and they knew that rescue had finally arrived.
Several police cars sped up and stopped outside the factory, and several police officers quickly got out of the cars.
Armed, they cautiously advanced inward.
"Are you guys okay?"
A young policeman approached and asked with concern.
Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan nodded, though their bodies were still trembling slightly.
But they were filled with gratitude for surviving the ordeal.
The two young men got into the police car and drove to the police station.
Inside the car, they looked at each other, their hearts filled with complex emotions.
Having just witnessed what happened, they realized they were embroiled in a struggle far more complex than they had imagined.
Qiu Ziyue said to Qi Yuxuan, "You're injured. Why don't you go to the hospital to remove the bullet first? I'll go to the police station."
Qi Yuxuan, however, said:
“It’s okay, I’ll stay with you. We’ll go to the hospital after you finish giving your statement.”
Upon arriving at the police station, they were received by Captain Li, an experienced criminal investigator.
Captain Li has a serious face and sharp eyes, giving people a sense of reliability.
"Please describe in detail what you experienced."
Captain Li said, handing the two men a glass of warm water to calm them down.
Qiu Ziyue took a deep breath and truthfully described what had just happened.
He added that he never expected to encounter such a situation.
The gunman was clearly no ordinary person; he seemed to know everything we did.
"Have you noticed any unusual signs? Such as being followed or other suspicious behavior?"
Captain Li pressed for further details.
Qi Yuxuan thought for a moment and replied:
"Actually, when we were filming, we did feel that someone was lingering nearby, but we didn't pay much attention to it at the time."
Captain Li frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said:
"Based on your description, this is very likely an organized force targeting you. You must be extra careful in the days to come."
Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan exchanged glances, a sense of unease rising within them.
They realized that this incident was not a simple coincidence, but rather a larger conspiracy.
“We will assign someone to protect your safety and conduct an in-depth investigation into the relevant clues.”
Captain Li continued.
"But you should also be vigilant and try to avoid acting alone, especially in public places."
"Thank you, Captain Li."
Qiu Ziyue said gratefully,
We will act according to your advice.
Captain Li nodded and stood up:
"I will have the technical department check your phones and call records to see if they can find any more clues."
At the same time, we will increase patrols around the factory to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
Just then, Qi Yuxuan's face turned noticeably pale, and he fainted.
Captain Li took a look and saw that Qi Yuxuan had been shot in the shoulder.
He immediately contacted the hospital.
Qiu Ziyue was horrified. Oh no! It seems the bullet is poisoned!
