Chapter 414: Chapter 284: Twin Strike - Part 2

"In the past, when I was in my most desperate moments, she risked her life to save me. So when she’s in trouble, I will absolutely not abandon her." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

At this moment, Dongdong raised a baseball bat and said, "Boss, everyone standing here is a brother, no need for those grand, morale-boosting speeches, we blindly follow you! Who are we hitting? Say it! Who are we hitting?"

The mercenaries all laughed out loud, injecting a touch of lightness into the originally oppressive atmosphere.

Su Mo also showed a knowing smile and said, "Alright, then I won’t rile you up. Next, form pairs, spread out into various districts, and stay at designated places."

"Remember, don’t engage with anyone or get into conflicts, just await orders in your designated area."

"Qi Ling will utilize all methods to search for Nuobai’s whereabouts, once her position is discovered, everyone acts simultaneously for a saturation rescue!"

Everyone said in unison, "Understood!"

...

In a dark alley in the high-tech park, a blood-covered figure staggered along the wall, her clothing stained brown with blood, shedding flakes of dried blood with every step.

Nuobai had a hoodie over her head, pulling the strings tight, keeping her head down in an attempt to hide herself.

Just now, she encountered several groups of people along the way, anyone who saw her face rushed at her like mad dogs.

After a fierce battle, she barely managed to escape those chasing her.

Now, she didn’t know where to go, didn’t even know what was happening.

The entire city seemed to have turned into enemies, everyone wanted to kill her.

Walking further, Nuobai’s legs gave out and she collapsed against the wall, clutching the wound on her abdomen that was oozing black blood, her breathing trembling in pain.

Those steel balls processed with viper venom, she had painfully dug out with her bare hands earlier.

But the power of the viper venom carried by the overlimit-class bearer was too overwhelming, the residual toxins in her body completely suppressed her Crimson Rose Blood Code.

This made it impossible for her to fix her right hand severed by Lucifer, even stopping the bleeding from her wound required great effort, the IPS stem cells stored in her body were being consumed rapidly.

In past battles, she’d carry some concentrated IPS stem cell liquid, using it in crucial moments for quick replenishment.

But today’s situation was rushed, she had no time to bring it, and there was nowhere to find this kind of thing now.

If she can’t replenish her IPS stem cell storage, the ability of the Crimson Rose Blood Code will weaken increasingly, and she might be killed by the residual viper venom inside her.

What around can replenish the storage...

Anything will do...

Nuobai curled into a ball, her entire body trembling, her eyes glimpsed at a trash can not far away...

A rat was rooting at the trash bag beside the can, suddenly a strong wind hit, it didn’t manage to escape and was caught.

Nuobai grabbed the squeaking rat, without minding the filth, bit into it, eating the foul blood and flesh.

With such a small animal’s size, the cell storage acquired by eating was minimal, but any supplement was better than none now...

As Nuobai silently gnawed on the dead rat, a man’s complaining voice came from not far away, "Ah, damn, it’s so cold today, I really want to hide under the quilt and eat kimchi hot pot."

Another man’s agreeing voice sounded, "Big brother is right!"

Two men were seen coming from the end of the alley, both dressed in well-cut suits, one in black and the other in white, walking shoulder to shoulder talking and laughing; from their conduct, they seemed to be brothers.

The two walked against the streetlight, their faces unclear, their identities unknown, but Nuobai didn’t want to stay here any longer, she tightened her hoodie and left in another direction.

Soon, a man’s call came from behind her, "Hey beauty, are you okay? Why so much blood on you?"

Nuobai didn’t turn her head, hastened her steps and left.

Walking on, a strong sense of oppression suddenly came from behind.

Nuobai immediately rolled forward to evade the attack, before she could get up, another wave of oppression came upon her face, forcing her to raise her arm to block.

"Bang!" A violent impact came from her arm, nearly breaking the bones.

Nuobai was flung back, rolling several times before getting up, cautiously watching the approaching attackers.

The man in black and the man in white stepped forward, both raising their legs high, clearly adopting a Taekwondo stance.

The man in white lowered his leg, patted the dust off his pants, "Heya, we kindly asked if you were alright, but you just walked away without turning back, aren’t you too rude?"

The man in black echoed, "My brother asked you a question."

At that moment, Nuobai recognized them by the streetlight.

The leader of the White Tiger Mercenary Corps, "Gemini White Star" Park Sang-woo.

The leader of the Black Tiger Mercenary Corps, "Gemini Black Star" Park Sung-wook.

Following Lucifer, two more Crescent Seven Stars had come to hunt her down.

Nuobai grabbed a trash can beside her and hurled it at the two, without lingering in the fight, turned to run.

The two brothers were somewhat averse to dirt, forced back by the scattered rubbish, cursed a profanity and chased.

Nuobai, severely injured, couldn’t match their speed and was caught up in a park.

Park Sang-woo and Park Sung-wook maxed out their prosthetic power, entering bullet time, simultaneously unleashing forceful side kicks.

With nowhere to retreat, Nuobai was forced to confront them.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Nuobai raised her arms and knees to block, halting the two kicks.

The brothers missed the hit, simultaneously raised their right legs high, chopping down towards Nuobai’s face.

Facing the two men, launching simultaneous attacks, Nuobai had no choice but to raise her arms to block with full force.

In an instant, the brothers abruptly halted their kicks, the previous cleaving legs were feint attacks.

Landing synchronized, they spun at a sinister pace, vicious whirlwind kicks aimed simultaneously at Nuobai’s upper and lower body.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Nuobai’s side knee and waist sustained hits, sending her flipping to the ground, cough blood spilling from her mouth.

The brothers’ attacks did not cease, stepping toward Nuobai’s heart and head in unified motion, intent on crushing those vital points.

Nuobai was forced to enter Blood Burning State, rolling away quicker, the place where she had been lying now bore two deep indentations.

Before, when entering the blood burning state, she’d fiercely counter enemies.

But she was too severely injured now, the residual viper venom couldn’t maintain the Blood Burning State, her eyes turned red for less than two seconds, then reverted to black, clutching her bleeding wound, half-kneeling on the ground, gasping heavily.

"You’re kidding, dodging our synchronized attack means you have some skill."

Park Sang-woo and Park Sung-wook simultaneously lowered their legs, if one paid attention, their movements achieved true synchronization, without the slightest deviation.

This absolute uniformity was definitely not honed through so-called "cooperation," but reliant on some external force.

Nuobai wiped the blood from her lips, gritting her teeth as she stared at these two.

As an older generation mercenary, Nuobai, before retiring, was very familiar with various mercenary realm information, naturally knowing about the Gemini Star brothers.

Park Sang-woo and Park Sung-wook were twin brothers, though they formed the White Tiger and Black Tiger Mercenary Corps separately, the names alone could tell the two corps were essentially family.

Both were Prosthetic Implanters, though they hadn’t mastered Prosthetic Overload, they possessed a very unique and powerful combat style — neural synchronization.

Their prosthetic parameters not only matched exactly but were equipped with coordination sensing devices, sharing all neuron signals, able to launch synchronized attacks without any delay.

Gemini Star rarely fought alone, always appearing together, fighting them required not only coping with their skilled Taekwondo arts but also dealt with a natural disadvantage in physical engagements.

Neurological synchronized fighting of Gemini Star meant the two were combined into one, with perfectly coordinated four hands, four legs.

Judged purely on combat techniques, Gemini Star ranked second among Crescent Seven Stars.

Many experts had suffered significant setbacks against these uniquely fighting brothers.
