Chapter 377: cooperating to hunt down the minister

Tu! Tu! Tu! Tu!

Having expected such a situation already before he rolled inside the laboratory building, Clark did not stop in one place after opening the door. He rolled forward repeatedly, dodging tons of bullets in the process.

As soon as he stood up and found his feet, he stumped on the floor and jumped, going straight to the ceiling as he finally did a sweeping glance through the corridor that was before him.

Everything was reflected before his eyes; dozens of soldiers armed to the teeth with different weapons, 2 menacing robots wielding dual swords, and a blockade wall separating the corridor from inside the laboratory.

As soon as he finished his observations, the soldiers recovered and aimed their weapons at the ceilings.

Seeing this, Clark opened a port in his vest before plummeting down from the ceiling. As he fell, something like a magnetic field erupted from his vest, and dozens of daggers flew out of the open port.

Whoosh!

Taking advantage of the momentary shock revealed by the soldiers on seeing hovering daggers, Clark controlled with his mind and the daggers shot out at a mind-blowing speed.

Before the soldiers could react, the daggers rapidly flew towards them but they didn’t stab any fatal point in their bodies. The daggers slashed injuries through their legs, making them fall weakly.

Clark raised his swords and started moving across. The few soldiers that remained standing suffered the blunt side of his sword, crisp sounds like those of slaps reverberated in the background as he slapped his way across.

When the soldiers finally recovered, the black-clothed assassin was gone.

Clang!

Clark parried the powerful blow of the robot, but he did not flinch as his other sword swiped up tyrannically. The robot's red glowing eyes rapidly flickered, but it was not fast enough to dodge the swift strike.

Its glowing eyes slowly dimmed before completely losing their luster as its metallic head rolled to the side.

The 2nd robot’s eyes rapidly flickered as its enormous A. I processors calculated to arrive at the best strategy, but before a 3rd rank high-grade soldier, these were just charlatan-like techniques.

As soon as his 2nd sword slashed down and cut through the metallic neck of the 1st robot, Clark’s black vest tightened as his back muscles contracted before expanding outwards the next moment.

Before the robot could react, his back slammed hard at its metallic frame, squashing it to become a metallic junk immediately.

Boom!

Clark finally stabbed his dual swords at the heavy blockade before him, cutting through the metallic wall immediately.

Then he rolled forward again, arriving at the main heart of the laboratory amid a new rain of raining bullets. He was about to stand up, but at the last moment, he reverted his decision and jumped to the side.

3 sharp metallic spikes jutted out of the ground from his previous location. He frowned but he could not rest yet as he rapidly ducked, dodging a slash from an enormous sword that just appeared from the wall.

While still dodging the bullets raining down on him, he finally hastily observed the laboratory. In one look, he confirmed something after seeing all the soldiers standing at the very edges of the laboratory hall.

“A trap!”

Despite knowing this, he did not panic. He could bulldoze through all these with his strength alone, but the minister would have probably escaped by then. He made his decision instantly.

He spoke into his comm. “This is 10 speaking, I’m inside the laboratory and I need ranged support”.

“Got it”. Captain Drake’s voice reverberated.

“6, 2, provide ranged support immediately”.

Bam! Bam!

The captain didn’t even finish before 2 sniper shot sounds reverberated.

One of the bullets embedded itself into the wall, deactivating a hidden mechanism, while the other dug itself into a soldier’s head that was intending to circle behind Clark.

Almost immediately as this happened, Clark dodged another hidden spike trap before stabbing the first soldier to death.

As these soldiers were not ready to cooperate, he could play with them. If he decided to babysit them and not kill, there was a high chance of the minister escaping and he was not ready to take that.

Having let loose, nothing in the laboratory could stop him.

Following his instincts developed from raids and battles, he guessed that the minister was upstairs.

Slashing 3 soldier’s heads apart at the same time, he ran forward, dodged another hidden trap, and jumped at the wall. Kicking at the wall, he propelled himself upward and dug his 2 swords through the hard ceiling.

Boom!

He left the first story immediately and arrived at the second story. And as he expected, another group of soldiers and traps were here waiting for him.

Another 2 sniper shots reverberated, and 2 trap mechanisms were destroyed. Taking advantage of that, Clark rushed towards the hall before the soldiers could even press the trigger.

Boom!

He used the same trick and broke through the ceiling. He arrived at the 3rd floor and did the same, after doing these 2 more times he finally arrived at the highest floor.

He ducked and rolled immediately as soon as he arrived on the 3rd floor.

“Don’t shoot, this is the leader of the soldiers”.

From the force, technique, and speed of the blow, Clark immediately identified that this fellow was a 2nd rank high-grade soldier so he warned his teammates before they could snipe him dead.

Seeing that he dodged despite the speed that he attacked with, the soldier was stunned for a moment but he quickly went in pursuit.

He slashed again but Clark no longer dodged this time.

After rolling the first time, he stood up. His eyes gleamed coldly as he glared at the soldier; he calmly threw one of his swords up while extending his hand out to catch the opponent’s sword.

Bam!

Blue energy erupted but the sword could not penetrate through, Clark held it firmly in place as he glared at the soldier.

At this same time, his thrown sword finally dropped down, smoothly entering the port that was created for it in his back. Seeing this, the soldier shuddered subconsciously.

“Where is the Minister?” Clark’s voice echoed coldly.

“I…, I…” The soldier stuttered for a moment, a pained expression overcame his face as he clenched and unclenched his fists. Then he suddenly exhaled like he made a decision.

“I don’t know”.

Clark was about to move forward and teach him a lesson but he stopped as his comm sent him new intel.

“10, the Minister is currently escaping through an underground route. Its entrance is directly under the laboratory building”.

Bam!

Clark slapped the side of the soldier’s face with his sword before he could react, making him faint immediately. And without hesitation, he rolled backward before diving down through the holes that he created when coming.

In seconds, he fell back to the first floor but he didn’t stop as he held his sword with both hands before stabbing at the hard metallic covering of the floor.

A hot force field surrounded the sword before it came into contact with the floor, a bright light flashed to illuminate the darkness for a second before everything went back to the normal black.

When the soldiers focused, a hole was now on the floor and the assassin was gone. They all became alarmed immediately.
