A squad was infiltrating the floors, in the corridor.
Wang Fan said to Si Jinyan, "Watch out for the rooftop. The divination indicates the enemy's vitality lies there."
Though he didn't get along with Si Jinyan, he understood what was important in matters of great consequence.
"Ten of you, use grappling hooks to ascend to the rooftop from outside."
Si Jinyan placed great faith in his abilities and immediately arranged for a group of team members to go up first.
"Have you calculated whether we can actually succeed in capturing Li Fan?"
Wang Fan's lips curved upward at the question, and he said with great confidence, "No matter how accurate the prediction, it's still a human endeavor."
Si Jinyan curled his lips and let out a cold snort, "I hope your divinations are as sturdy as your words."
"I hope your abilities match my divinations," Wang Fan retorted, unwilling to back down.
"Amitabha," the young monk Wuchen, unable to bear it any longer, intervened.
Boom!!!
A grenade dropped from the corridor above, and everyone quickly retreated, raising their riot shields.
"You probably didn't predict this grenade, did you?"
After narrowly avoiding the grenade, Si Jinyan glanced back at Wang Fan, who was hiding behind him.
"Pfft! I don't calculate divinations every single moment. Do you think I can divine without rest?"
Wang Fan, seeing there was no more danger, calmly stood up and brushed the dust off his clothes.
The two floors above were still locked in intense combat, with incessant gunfire and explosions, making the entire building shake.
"Be careful. We'll move up when the people above can't hold on any longer."
Si Jinyan was quite cunning. Bullets, after all, had no eyes, and he wouldn't risk his team members.
"I agree with that statement."
Wang Fan nodded in affirmation behind him.
Meanwhile, Li Fan's battle was also proceeding rapidly. He hadn't deployed his nearly thousand men entirely, as the confined space here couldn't leverage their numerical advantage.
However, as the enemy suffered continuous casualties, Li Fan kept replenishing his numbers. Even if it was a life for a life, he was still profiting.
After clearing the stairwell, Li Fan immediately led a team to cover his ascent.
Once he reached the rooftop, he would be free to fly anywhere.
On the opposite side, Zhao Yunhai watched a helicopter approaching from a distance with deep thought, a glint flashing in his eyes.
As Li Fan reached the rooftop, he was immediately pinned down by a barrage of fire, forcing him to retreat back into the stairwell.
"Damn it, there are still people up here! Go up and kill them!"
Li Fan cursed furiously. It had been too close; a bullet had almost hit him.
Under Li Fan's command, several flashbangs and grenades were thrown forward.
Under the cover of the flashbangs, clone after clone charged forward. The gunfire was intense, and clones fell one after another.
But Li Fan wasn't flustered. He directly opened the Gate of the Apocalypse, releasing fully armed clones one after another.
Using the fallen bodies as cover, the clones successfully established a defensive formation on the rooftop.
Meanwhile, the ten team members stood outside the rooftop, only their heads barely visible, their bulletproof helmets protecting their lives.
The rooftop's structure was incredibly sturdy, with a thickness of a full twelve centimeters.
The enemy's bullets had already riddled the rooftop's parapet walls like a honeycomb.
"Rooftop team, withdraw immediately." At this moment, Si Jinyan's order reached their earpieces.
Without hesitation, the ten men threw flashbangs for cover, their ropes pulling them down rapidly as they jumped into the nearest floor.
"They're gone?" Li Fan stood on the rooftop, shielded by his clones, watching the empty ropes and letting out a cold snort.
When Li Fan saw the helicopter approaching in the distance, his face lit up with joy.
They were finally here.
The reason Si Jinyan had ordered a retreat was because he had received instructions from Young Master Yun.
After the helicopter successfully landed on the rooftop, Li Fan immediately boarded it and ordered, "Go, fly towards the border."
Li Fan had already bought the helicopter's flight path with a substantial sum of money. This helicopter was licensed, so he felt very secure, with no possibility of it being shot down.
In the United States, money could buy anything.
Without money, nothing was good.
"Why aren't we leaving yet? Hurry up!"
Li Fan, seeing that they weren't taking off, increased his urgency.
"First meeting, why such a hurry to leave?"
Zhao Yunhai's voice came from the pilot's seat.
"Zhao Yunhai?"
Li Fan was so shocked he almost leaped out of his seat. He was all too familiar with this voice.
Zhao Yunhai, from the pilot's seat, turned to look at Li Fan. His Super Doubling template immediately activated.
Ten
Zhao Yunhai's mind instantly integrated the usage of the Gate of the Apocalypse, enhancing it tenfold in all aspects.
Its speed, stability, and size were all ten times greater than before.
Li Fan got off the plane without a word, but Zhao Yunhai wouldn't let him have his way.
Zhao Yunhai instantly sat beside Li Fan, forcing him back into the seat.
"Don't leave, aren't you always at odds with me?"
"Why do you want to leave as soon as I arrive?"
Li Fan swallowed hard. At this moment, the spatial gate opened, but he couldn't even enter it himself, and it was possible he might drag the other person in.
How did this person get onto the helicopter? Had all his men been killed? Not a single signal sent out.
"Why aren't you speaking? Am I that scary?"
Zhao Yunhai's tone was deep, exuding an extreme sense of dread and terror.
No matter how you escape, you can't get out of my grasp.
"Why are you here?"
Li Fan knew the other party must have discovered his secret and wanted to obtain it, so his life was temporarily safe.
Having calmed down, Li Fan decided to stall for time. If the other party imprisoned him or let him go, he would immediately enter the Gate of the Apocalypse.
Outside, the clone soldiers, who still believed they were safe, continued to resist the assault from below.
Li Fan wanted to shout for help, but the other party wouldn't give him the chance.
"I can always appear in places you least expect. Tell me your secret. I'm very interested in it."
Zhao Yunhai patted Li Fan's shoulder, signaling him not to be nervous.
The feeling of being prey, like a fish on a chopping board, left Li Fan with no confidence, even though he still had a good chance of escaping.
However, he needed a method to relax the other party's vigilance.
And Zhao Yunhai, having obtained the Gate of the Apocalypse, wasn't in any hurry.
Killing Li Fan? It held little significance.
He needed Li Fan, this troublemaker, to disrupt the current world order. Zhao's family wouldn't be the conspicuous one; Li Fan would.
"What secret? I don't know. This is just a technological means. If you want it, I can give it to you."
Li Fan would never reveal the truth. This was his only path to becoming stronger.
"Heh heh." Zhao Yunhai didn't bother to interrogate him further.
"You insisted on provoking me, and now you've fallen into my hands. Honestly, do you think you can escape?"
"Can I escape?" Li Fan feigned a sigh.
