Mr. Qi smacked Dahai on the head.

"Ah—!"

"Help!"

The crowd instantly descended into chaos, everyone running around the office like headless chickens.

Bang bang!

In the darkness, a shadow raised a hand and pulled the trigger twice, taking down an armed pursuer. It was Gu Ji, who then decisively sprinted toward the staircase.

But in the next second, several shots rained down beside him, forcing him to dive toward the support pillar.

There's a sharpshooter opposite!

The barrage ended.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen desperadoes and the overseer charged with knives and steel pipes.

An employee couldn't dodge in time and was hacked to the ground with several blows, accompanied by a piercing scream, blood spraying wildly.

"Mr. Wa! Help! Help!"

Ding Le crawled frantically on the ground like a dog, but was grabbed by the collar by a burly man with a beard, who stabbed a knife into his stomach from behind.

The female secretary was dragged away by two overseers.

They've gone insane!

This group has completely lost it!

They want to use this sinkhole crisis as an opportunity to murder all of Jinyuan Group's confidants and seize the company!

Gu Ji stood up, fired two shots and hit one of the desperadoes, then quickly rolled into a nearby office, only to find Yang Dong and Pan Xinli close behind.

"Close the door!"

Gu Ji shouted.

The two had never seen such a scene, trembling with fear, but quickly closed the door and pushed a desk against it.

His eyes darted like lightning around the room, finally resting on a crack in the front wall.

The once dangerous and fragile concrete precast wall now seemed like a hope for escape in his eyes.

He aimed at the crack, kicked hard with both feet, and with a "boom," the concrete wall collapsed, revealing another office area next door, like a breach in Rainbow Six!

"Wa Xueming! I can't hold on much longer!"

Yang Dong and Pan Xinli leaned against the door, feet bracing the ground, faces flushed, while the desperadoes and overseers outside were madly hammering the wooden door with machetes and steel pipes. The doorframe was about to give in, ready to collapse at any moment.

Gu Ji fired two shots through the wooden door.

"Run!"

Hearing the signal, Pan Xinli was the first to let go and follow, but just as Yang Dong was about to release his grip and turn around, the "da-da-da" sound of an AK-47 burst from behind the door, instantly knocking him to the ground.

The next moment, the wooden door gave way, and a swarm of desperadoes and overseers with knives rushed in.

Gu Ji and Pan Xinli dashed through the office area, occasionally shooting back to slow their pursuers.

Dahai, in hot pursuit, saw his back and found it familiar, immediately cursing, "Damn! Wa Xueming, you dare kill my men? Hack him to death for me!"

"There's a crevice ahead!"

During the escape, Pan Xinli suddenly pointed to the right and shouted.

Without a word, Gu Ji leapt into the crevice, landing in the office on the seventh floor, while Pan Xinli followed closely, crying out as she twisted her ankle.

"Go!"

Just as she spoke, a knifeman jumped down from the eighth-floor crevice and hacked her in the neck.

In the blink of an eye, the desperadoes jumped one after another, like dumplings in boiling water.

Leap, land, rise, chase.

Gu Ji raised his gun and took down another person, but as he pulled the trigger again, the bullets were spent. He threw away the handgun, grabbed an axe from his waist, and continued running, while glancing back to check the position of his pursuers.

However, these knifemen spread out around the office, further compressing his escape space, forcing him to run forward, and soon, he reached the building's edge.

No way out!

At this moment, two overseers in black quickly approached, forcing him into a pincer movement. The leading man roared, swinging his knife down!

Damn!

In a life-or-death moment, Gu Ji reacted quickly, ducked to avoid the slash, rolled sideways, and slipped out of the encirclement.

"Stop!"

Someone shouted, and the other thugs chased, knives swinging.

Gu Ji sprang up, swung the axe in a horizontal arc, clanging against a steel pipe, cutting into the chest of the leading desperado.

The desperado bled from the chest, his face flushed, but to Gu Ji's surprise, he laughed maniacally instead of screaming, dropped the steel pipe, and hugged his left leg!

Thwack!

In the next moment, a knife struck him, Gu Ji couldn't dodge, and two more slashes followed, cutting into his flesh, blood spurting—one on the shoulder, one on the chest!

Fast knives! Ruthless people!

Completely different from those in the basement!

Gu Ji lifted the axe, chopped off the wrist of the villain clutching his ankle, then flipped backward away.

This group was experienced in killing; most terrifying was their fearless madness, like the death squads in mobster movies—unbelievable that such suicidal killers exist in reality.

Addicts?

He suddenly recalled Pan Xinli in the basement, swinging a steel pipe to kill.

"Damn!"

"Hack him to death!"

"Ah!"

...

The desperadoes slashed wildly, seeing Gu Ji covered in blood, clothes soaked, knowing he couldn't last much longer.

Gu Ji's eyes were red now.

Surrounded, with slim hope of escape, he could only fight, and fight to the death—any hesitation, and he'd surely be embraced by them, life exchanged for life!
