The Seventh Base-Chapter 159 - 55 Lin Xi Injured
Chapter 159: Chapter 55 Lin Xi Injured
Xu Mo and Lin Xi exited the private room, and the bar’s enforcers were already charging at them from both ends of the corridor.
Moreover, they were all armed.
Weapons are not forbidden in Steel Dome City, and in chaotic places like bars, they were naturally indispensable.
“Sister Xi, follow me.” Xu Mo rushed forward, with Lin Xi dragging Lin Jian behind him.
“Stop.”
The people in the corridor ahead pointed their guns at Xu Mo and his group but didn’t fire immediately.
...
Even though it was their territory, they still had some reservations about killing.
If the big shots upstairs were fine, it was normal for them to be sent to take the blame.
Xu Mo kept charging forward, and they shot directly at Xu Mo’s feet.
Xu Mo moved incredibly fast, dodging bullets that seemed to slow down as they approached him, reaching his target and throwing a punch.
“Boom…” One person was sent flying, crashing into others behind him.
He stepped forward with a kick, flipping several people, and then waited for Lin Xi and the others to pass before following them.

Descending the stairs, a burly Genetic Warrior appeared, exuding an explosive power.
He aimed a punch directly at Lin Xi coming down, whom side-stepped the attack, while Xu Mo launched a flying kick from above.
“Bang.”
The Genetic Warrior was kicked away, crashing into one of the bar’s booths.
The blaring music in the bar drowned out the noise of the fight, with sultry dancers continuing their performance as if they were in a different world.
From both sides of the area, many Genetic Warriors appeared, brandishing machetes with menacing looks on their faces.
However, they were all of C-level combat ability, and most of their jobs were as bodyguards or enforcers.
Xu Mo was about to take action when he saw a group of people rushing in from the outskirts, kicking over a bunch of Genetic Warriors.
“Brother Xu Mo.” Sun Xiaoxiao charged ahead, and her group arrived on the scene.
“Be careful.”
Xu Mo looked up in a certain direction, releasing powerful spiritual power, seeing a bullet shot straight toward Sun Xiaoxiao’s position. The bullet, meant for him, was off-target.
The bullet sped through the air, but its speed decreased under the influence of Xu Mo’s formidable spiritual power.
Xu Mo saw Benjamin arrive, so he didn’t destroy the bullet.
Benjamin stepped in front of Sun Xiaoxiao, catching the bullet with his hand, and then looked up at the gunman upstairs.
“Buzz!”
He threw the bullet back, speeding through the air at a terrifying velocity.
“Pchit…”
The bullet struck the gunman’s forehead, sending them toppling from the upper level onto the stage with a heavy crash.
Benjamin, with B-level combat power, showed no mercy since the other side had already opened fire to kill.
Screams mixed with the blaring music as a body fell from above.
The crowd began to panic, frantically running for the exits.
The entire bar instantly turned into a mess.
Xu Mo and his group squeezed their way out with the crowd.
“Worthless,” the bar manager cursed angrily from above.
Unable to stop two people and causing such a commotion.
And someone had died.
This was very bad for their establishment.
“Young Master Yu,” the manager called out as Ming Yu approached.
“Worthless,” Ming Yu cursed as he saw Xu Mo and his group merged with the crowd and pushing their way out.
The bar manager said nothing, but he was also irritated.
Your mess, my ass to wipe? If someone was really killed, and it caused a big stir, the Ming Group had money and power, so Ming Yu would be safe, but his own fate would be uncertain.
“Is there another way out?” Ming Yu asked.
“Yes, Young Master Yu, come with me,” the manager spoke, leading Ming Yu toward a direction on the second floor.
Xu Mo and his group followed the chaotic crowd toward the exit of the bar.
Benjamin led the way in front, Xiao Qi on the right, and Xu Mo on the left, with the rest in the middle.
“Dad, your daughter was almost killed,” Xiao Xiao spoke into the communicator, instantly sending her location.
Benjamin also reached out to his contacts.
This saved Xu Mo some trouble. He had already bothered Lin Qingze yesterday, and today’s incident arose entirely because of Lin Jian—disturbing Lin Qingze again wouldn’t be quite appropriate.
Outside, Ming Yu was the first to leave the bar, with a bustling crowd rushing out.
In the distance, an off-road vehicle sped toward them.
The off-road vehicle stopped next to Ming Yu, and four figures sat inside, fully armed with helmets, their identities obscured.
The leader, with an ominous glint in his eyes, rolled down the window and said to Ming Yu, “Murder?”
“Yeah,” Ming Yu nodded.
“Does Young Master Hui know?” the leader asked.
“He knows,” Ming Yu answered.
He couldn’t worry about that now.
“The price…” the man continued, indicating he wasn’t from the Ming Group, or else he would’ve dealt with Ming Hui directly.
They were just partners of the Ming Group, handling dirty work. If the money was right, anything could be discussed.
As for who to kill, they didn’t care.
The matter involved Ming Yu, so any trouble would be faced first by the Ming Group.
“Don’t worry, you will be well-compensated,” Ming Yu said.
“Good.” The four men quietly waited in the car.

Working their trade in Steel Dome City was dangerous.
But cooperating with powerful and influential people made it a lot safer, offering protection.
After all, none could withstand the light of day.
If they had trouble, the Ming Group couldn’t escape responsibility either.
Ming Yu got into his car but kept his eyes fixed on the bar entrance.
The crowd surging from the bar grew, and Xu Mo and his group came out as well.
“They’ve come out. That group dressed in school fashion, the one in black on the right,” Ming Yu told the man outside the car window.
“Received.”
The fully armed quartet stepped out, weapons in hand.
Xu Mo instantly spotted them, his gaze locking onto the approaching four. They gave him a dangerous feeling.
“Sister Xi, you go first.”
Xu Mo spoke. The next moment, he saw one of the men raising his mechanical gun, which was integrated with his armor, and shot out energy light.
The energy gun had B-minus level strength.
Xu Mo’s body dodged aside.
“Pfft…” The energy gun pierced through the body of someone behind Xu Mo, who looked at the hole in his body and let out a miserable scream.
“Let’s go.”
Benjamin also spoke up.
“You take her and go.” Lin Xi handed Lin Jian over to the others, as she had no intention of leaving.
Another man raised his mechanical gun. He was burly, and his gun was very thick, charging up and emitting a strong light in the dark night.
“B-level.”
Xu Mo’s expression turned sour.
“Boom…”
Energy light erupted. Benjamin’s body stood in front, with energy light shining on him. He stepped forward and hurled his energy-charged fist, colliding with the energy light.
Benjamin’s energy light shattered on his fist. Blood spurted from his fist as he staggered backward.
They had come out from the academy to eat and had not brought their combat equipment.
The leader and another woman rushed forward directly towards Xu Mo.
The leader wore a B-level mechanical armor set, with his fists shining with powerful energy light, extremely lethal.
Such equipment was very expensive. People like them could only keep taking on missions, earning money, and swapping equipment.
It hadn’t been easy to get to where they were today.
The woman was wielding dual swords, with what seemed like energy lightning flowing over them.
It was also a very expensive set, but its energy grade was B-minus.
Benjamin’s body charged towards the leading man.
The two threw punches at the same time.
Benjamin was at B-level combat power, while the other was at B-minus level combat power but had B-level equipment.
Their fists collided.
Benjamin’s were fists of flesh and blood, and the other’s were mechanical fists, bursting with strong energy light.
“Boom…”
With a loud noise, both men’s bodies flew backward.
The other woman was charging at Xu Mo. She spun through the air, her dual swords slashing down with clean, efficient movements, not a trace of excess.
Even if Xu Mo dodged the first blade, there would be a second.
As the woman spun and slashed, a strong energy field suddenly affected her blades and movements. She felt as if she was moving slower.
The next moment, Xu Mo’s body charged directly at her, grabbed one of her arms, and swung.
“Bang.”
With a loud noise, her body was smashed to the ground. Xu Mo twisted her arm, and a scream rang out as the swords fell.
Seeing this, another man shot at Xu Mo, but he, as if anticipating it, tilted his head to dodge and picked up the War Saber from the ground.
The shooter’s gaze shifted as he fired continuously, but the energy gun seemed to meet a formidable resistance. Xu Mo’s War Saber, imbued with spiritual power, flew straight towards him.
“Pfft…” The War Saber pierced through the armor, entering the opponent’s throat.
The woman on the ground tried to get up, but Xu Mo grabbed her other hand and twisted.
Another scream sounded.
The War Saber seized, Xu Mo holding it with both hands, stabbed directly into her heart.
Both were killed.
As Xu Mo killed two people, on another part of the battlefield.
Lin Xi’s body charged at the man holding a B-level energy gun. The man, naturally aware, charged the energy gun and aimed at Lin Xi, firing.
Lin Xi dodged the strike and continued to rush forward.
A punch smashed into the man’s head.
The man stepped back and charged up to fire again.
“Boom…”
Lin Xi’s all-out punch smashed onto the man’s head, causing him to fall down hard onto the ground.
However, Lin Xi couldn’t completely dodge the energy gun and was hit in the left shoulder.
Flesh scattered, and she also fell.
“Sister Xi!”
The few people behind shouted in shock and rushed forward.
In a brief moment, the battle was extremely fierce.
Three dead, one injured.
Lin Jian was stunned. She saw Xu Mo kill two people and saw Lin Xi fall, her body trembling non-stop.
Ming Yu was also frightened by the ferocity of Xu Mo and his group.
In the blink of an eye, three were dead.
This four-person team was an elite assassin squad, very strong.
They had done many dirty deeds for the Ming Group.
But now, three were dead shortly after the fight began.
He began to feel scared.
His gaze shifted to the leader, who was furiously exchanging blows with Benjamin.
Benjamin fought with extreme ferocity, his fists blood-soaked, as if he didn’t care for his own life.
The face under the helmet of the leader had turned extremely pale.
They used to be Desert Hunters but couldn’t make it and switched to being underground assassins.
There were more than four of them; some died, some were caught.
Only they made it this far, continuously upgrading their equipment.
They had also managed to secure a foothold in Steel Dome City.
They knew that their line of work was dangerous, like licking blood off a knife’s edge. They had thought about leaving it all behind many times, but it never happened, always thinking of making one more score.
Today, they thought the task from Ming Yu would be simple.
After all, how strong could someone be that a spoiled brat wanted to deal with?
But then, in an instant, three were dead.
He let out an angry roar, his fists pounding furiously.
Su Rou picked up the gun from the person Lin Xi had killed, aimed at the leader, and shouted, “Benjamin!”
After shouting, she fired directly, and Benjamin took a step back.
“Boom…” A strong energy light blasted onto the leader’s head, knocking him down.
As he fell, a thought flashed through his mind.
Were all four of them going to die here today?
He remembered the days of hunting in the wilderness with his buddies. Now, thinking about it, it seemed hard but somehow wonderful.
He could never return to those days!
Su Rou advanced, charging and firing continuously.
“Boom, boom, boom…” The helmet shattered, piercing the man’s head.
