The people running after Shangguan Tong on the other side of the glass were annoyed, but they did not lose their cool.
A much bigger surprise was waiting for the intruder downstairs. They were unafraid of her running down. Instead, they were more worried that she wouldn't go there.
The man in the lead laughed coldly. He pressed his mike and uttered a few words reverently before he raised his hand and told his men to leave.
After Shangguan Tong landed on the second-floor platform, she promptly rolled inside and got under the eave. As she moved, she could sense her calves trembling.
She raised her head sadly. Sure enough, she was out of practice. Only a few people were coming after her, but she experienced a little trouble running against them.
In the past, she would not have inexplicably triggered the alarm upon entering the base.
She could not help feeling surprised. Why did she suddenly get caught?

The wounds were a little deep. Before she knew it, blood had dampened her entire sleeve.
Shangguan Tong frowned slightly. She did not stop to attend to her injuries. She cautiously turned her head to check inside. For now, no one was on her tail.
She pushed the door open and entered.
The moment she entered, she could hear the soft sound of some mechanism going off.
Shangguan Tong halted briefly and raised her head quickly.
The laser equipment on the floor had been activated.
In an instant, a few lethal lasers came sweeping straight toward Shangguan Tong from overhead. Her eyes turned dark as she swiftly rolled aside to dodge them.
Before she could catch her breath, the laser came sweeping toward her once more.
A solemn look emerged on Shangguan Tong's face. Even though she reacted quickly to dodge the laser, her hair was unable to escape unscathed and some locks fell off.
She did not even stop to look back. Instead, she looked up and quickly ran up to the stairwell door not far from her.
In the entire corridor, it was the only blind spot.
Five seconds seemed like forever to her, running in slow motion. When Shangguan Tong finally got to the stairwell door, a second before the laser could get to her, she pushed the door open with both hands.
The stairwell door closed with a thud and the lethal lasers were finally left behind her.
Shangguan Tong leaned against the door. In the dark staircase, the sensor-enabled lights automatically went on in the quiet space.
Her instincts were on high alert and tense. Her hand was hanging from the side of her body, but she suddenly reached for her waist. In a split second, she froze without moving.
A cold gun was trained on her forehead.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter Huo Yao shot the alarm, alarms could be heard everywhere throughout the base.
There was only one word to describe the situation and that was chaos.
The security team was sent out completely armed in full force.
After the first gunshot, they were unable to find Huo Yao. Instead, the security team captain was helpless and even called back the team sent to go after Shangguan Tong.
They still could not do anything about her.
The security team captain could only quickly report the matter to Shangguan Hou.
Shangguan Hou was already in the control room. He unhurriedly retrieved a chip and inserted it into the signal connector.
Beep!
A quickly moving red dot could be seen on the base map showing on the computer monitor.
Yang Yi did his utmost to be inconspicuous as he stood behind his colleagues. When he saw the red dot moving, an ominous feeling emerged in his heart.
Shangguan Hou raised his hand and pointed at the screen. He said with absolute confidence, "Just follow that. Trust me."
