Chapter 240: Breakthrough
Chu Zhao was awakened from his sleep by the alarm.
He got out of bed, quickly put on a coat, and picked up the walkie-talkie by the wall, “What’s going on?”
“We’re under attack, Mr. Chu.”
“We have already mobilized people to resist on the ground, the evacuation route is ready, please leave as soon as possible.”
This is his safety supervisor, also the voice of the ‘Deadly Snake’ commander, ‘Cobra’.
Chu Zhao’s face darkened, then he said, “Arrange for the young master and miss to leave immediately, I am not leaving.”
‘Cobra’ fell silent for a moment, but did not object, “Yes, I will go notify the young master and miss immediately.”
Chu Zhao put down the walkie-talkie, opened the wardrobe, took out a neatly pressed suit, and put it on piece by piece.
As he wore the suit and tied his tie, there was a loud knock on the door.
Chu Zhao opened the door.
Outside the door were his son Chu Tianyou and daughter Chu Tianmei.
Chu Tianmei immediately exclaimed, “Dad, hurry and come with us.”
Chu Tianyou also said, “Yes, dad, it’s not safe here anymore.”
Chu Zhao looked at them and smiled, saying, “I’m not leaving.”
“It’s quite clear, the underground city isn’t going to negotiate with me, they won’t let me go.”
“If I go with you, you will be in danger instead.”
“You need to leave quickly.”
“As long as I stay here, the underground city won’t notice you.”
Before the Chu siblings could say anything else, Chu Zhao waved his hand and two guards took them away.
“Dad!”
“Dad!”
Chu Tianmei was worried.
Her intuition told her that this might be the last time she sees her father.
“No, Dad!”
Chu Tianmei had never imagined that one day she would part with her father in this way.
Her husband Ding Yang often catches Wanderer on the ground for material for her father’s research.
This has caused numerous families to break apart and parents and children to be separated.
She didn’t have any particular feelings about it.
Until now.
She finally realized how that felt.
Chu Zhao also silently watched as the children were taken out of the room, but at that moment, someone yelled, “You can’t leave.”
Chu Zhao looked over.
A stern-looking middle-aged man walked in.
It was his safety supervisor, the commander of the ‘Deadly Snakes’.
‘Cobra!’
Before Chu Zhao could ask, the Cobra said, “Just now, the Water Belly Snake died.”
Chu Zhao’s body shook lightly.
Chu Tianmei and her siblings had not yet understood why it mattered that the ‘Water Belly Snake’ had died for their evacuation.
The Cobra quickly explained, “To ensure smooth evacuation, I had the ‘Water Belly Snake’ and ‘Rattlesnake’ stationed in the evacuation route.”
“The death of the Water Belly Snake means there have been intruders in the evacuation route.”
Chu Tianmei softly asked, “Arrived so soon?”
“What should we do now?” Chu Tianyou asked in a serious tone.
The cobra looked at Chu Zhao.
The leader of the Chu family sighed softly and said, “Stay with me for now, the cobra will protect us.”
“Furthermore, I authorize the activation of all biological weapons except Number Zero.”
The cobra nodded and swiftly left.
The siblings from the Chu family returned to the room and stayed with Chu Zhao.
Soon after, the automatic door closed heavily.

The time went back a little bit.
When Luo Yan and his friend emerged from the elevator, the power to the underground base was cut off, and the backup power could only be used for the important areas of the base.
In the public area where Luo Yan and his friend are now, only red lights for illumination and warning are lit.
The base is now bustling with people coming and going.
There is a lot of activity with personnel mobilization and emergency evacuation underway. It is clear that they have had plenty of training, so they appear busy but not chaotic.
Luo Yan and his friend are dressed similarly to the base guards, and given the current situation, even if people pass by, they don’t pay much attention to them.
They don’t know where Chu Zhao is hiding, and just then, Luo Yan’s phone lights up.
He received a base map.
The map was sent by Guang Qi.
Of course, she was not helping for free.
The one receiving the payment now is not Luo Yan, but Hong Dongxing.
Before leaving.
Luo Yan had already contacted Hong Dongxing before, hoping he could provide some help.
When it comes to his business territory, Hong Guanxing is not stingy, he directly paid Guang Qi to help.
Before Luo Yan and the others arrived at the town, ‘Nine Phoenix’ had already infiltrated the town.
That’s why this base map is now provided to Luo Yan.
Luo Yan showed it to Shen Biao and said, “Sent by Hong Dongxing.”
Seeing his openness, Shen Biao felt favorably towards him.
Without hesitation, he took the phone and checked it.
Pointing to a place.
“Here.”
Luo Yan looked over.
It was a residential area with emphasis marked, a ‘楚’ character could already explain a lot.
Next, Luo Yan saw an evacuation route nearby.
He looked up at Shen Biao, who nodded.
The two of them knew where to find Chu Zhao.
The town is under attack now, Chu Zhao has to leave for sure.
This passage is the only way to go.
Very soon.
They found the escape passage, but unlike elsewhere, this place is heavily guarded!
Luo Yan and the others exchanged a glance.
Without hesitation, Shen Biao charged forward.
They were not afraid of revealing their identities now.
What they needed to do was to stop Chu Zhao as soon as possible and not let him escape.
In the blink of an eye.
Gunshots, explosions, and screams filled the air.
Following Shen Biao closely, Luo Yan barely needed to do anything before they were deep into the tunnel.
Running swiftly.
Luo Yan suddenly grabbed Shen Biao and gestured towards a room not far ahead.
Shen Biao understood what Luo Yan meant.
Someone is inside the room.
Through Luo Yan’s ‘Eye of Reality,’ he saw a human-shaped gray light in the room.
Evidently, that person was lurking in the room, waiting to launch a surprise attack as soon as they approached.
Luo Yan expressionlessly took out a few grenades.
Shen Biao smiled and casually lifted a body from the ground, exerting force.
He then smashed the body towards the room, instantly breaking the door, causing the people inside to shoot frantically in response.
Either the bullets hit the body or blasted into the wall on the opposite side of the room.
Luo Yan swung his hands and threw four or five grenades into the room all at once.
In the next moment.
There were cries in the room, but the sounds were quickly drowned out by the continuous explosions.
The explosions continued, but Luo Yan already saw that the creature’s gray light had disappeared.
Before that gray light vanished, Luo Yan accessed the opponent’s information.
That was a soldier trained by Chu Zhao.
Water Belly Snake!
After taking down the soldier, the two of them continued forward.
They protected each other and cooperated.
They used rifles, grenades, and other items.
They took down guard after guard in the passage.
Just after they eliminated two guards, suddenly, a burly figure appeared ahead.
The burly man was strong and was carrying a multi-barrel rapid-fire machine gun.
He roared loudly.
They started shooting at Luo Yan.
The intense gunfire forced Luo Yan to retreat to a corner.
Luo Yan used the ‘Eye of Reality’ to look, and saw that the big man carrying a machine gun had colorful information lines above his head.
Reading the information.
‘Zhou Hei, 32 years old, a Chu family assassin called “Rattlesnake”.’
