Chapter 128: Exploring the Dangerous Land

The cold metal sent a piercing chill to her fingertips. Dai Shiya retracted her hand and looked around.

The instrument in the center of the room hummed, and the blue light reflected on her face, making her look even more stern.

On the other side of the room, several deep passages were like the bloody mouths of giant beasts, quietly waiting for their prey to fall into the trap.

Is this the key area inside the headquarters of the mysterious force?

Dai Shiya sneered in her heart. This is more like a carefully designed maze, waiting for her to step into the trap step by step.

The intricate passages spread like a spider web, and there was no end in sight, which made her feel an inexplicable sense of oppression.

The game had just begun, and she had already felt a huge challenge.

She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

Wei Qing's advice echoed in her ears: "Be careful and cautious, step by step." She knew that she couldn't panic and had to keep a clear mind to find a way out in this maze.

She walked along one of the passages. The walls on both sides of the passage were smooth and cold, without a single gap, and the air was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression.

Dai Shiya was extremely careful with every step she took, carefully observing the surrounding environment, trying to find some clues.

However, the structure of the passage was more complicated than she had imagined.

Every few steps, there would be a fork in the road, and each fork looked exactly the same, without any signs.

Dai Shiya soon lost her way, wandering around in the maze-like passage like a trapped beast.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the darkness around her was like an invisible giant hand, tightly strangling her throat, making her feel difficult to breathe.

She was anxious, but there was nothing she could do.

"Calm down, Dai Shiya, you must calm down!" She kept telling herself in her heart.

She leaned against the cold wall, closed her eyes, and tried to sort out her thoughts.

Suddenly, she felt a slight vibration on the wall.

She opened her eyes suddenly, pricked up her ears and listened carefully.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

There were footsteps! And, getting closer and closer...

Dai Shiya held her breath and stared at the corner of the passage.

A shadow appeared at the corner, holding a flashlight, the beam of light swaying in the passage.

"Who's there?" the shadow shouted in a low voice.

Dai Shiya did not answer, but quickly dodged and hid in a depression.

The shadow slowly approached, and the beam of the flashlight swept across the place where Dai Shiya was hiding...

"Strange, did I hear it wrong?" The shadow said to himself in confusion, "Forget it, I'd better go back and report..."

The shadow turned and left, and the footsteps gradually faded away.

Dai Shiya walked out of the depression, looking at the direction where the shadow disappeared, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth.

"Want to catch me? You're still a little naive..." She whispered, and then she turned her eyes to another passage...

"This road, maybe..."

Dai Shiya did not run around like a headless fly.

She squatted down, gently brushed her fingertips across the cold ground, feeling the subtle texture.

The ground of the passage was not completely flat, and the wear in some areas was slightly deeper, almost imperceptible.

But this subtle difference could not escape Dai Shiya's keen observation.

She followed these subtle traces, deducing the correct path step by step, just like interpreting ancient hieroglyphics.

The eyes observing secretly, through the monitoring screen, saw Dai Shiya's every move.

They originally thought that the intruder would get lost in the maze-like passage and eventually fall into their trap.

However, Dai Shiya's performance was completely beyond their expectations.

"She...how did she do it?" An observer whispered in disbelief, holding the pen in his hand tightly with his fingers, and his knuckles turned white.

Another observer shook his head, with a flash of surprise in his eyes: "Incredible, she can deduce the correct route based on such subtle clues..."

Dai Shiya followed the deduced path and came to a closed metal door.

She did not act rashly, but carefully observed the environment around the door.

Suddenly, her eyes fell on an inconspicuous gap under the door frame.

She reached into the gap and groped for a hidden button.

Press the button, and there was a slight "click" sound, and the metal door slowly opened.

The room is not large, with metal shelves placed around it, and the shelves are full of documents and materials.

Dai Shiya took a quick glance and locked her eyes on a locked metal box.

She took out a delicate tool from her waist and opened the lock of the box in two or three strokes.

In the box, a file bag lay quietly.

Dai Shiya carefully took out the file bag and opened it. There was a document inside.

She quickly browsed through the contents of the file and showed an excited smile on her face.

"Finally found it!" She whispered, with a hint of joy that was hard to conceal. In

the silent room, her voice was particularly clear.

She carefully put the file away and turned to leave.

Just then, she heard a cold voice behind her: "What did you find? Miss Dai." Dai Shiya turned around suddenly and saw a tall man standing at the door, holding a black pistol in his hand, with the muzzle pointed directly at her heart.

The man was dressed in a black uniform and had cold eyes, like a messenger from hell.

In the dim light in the room, his face was hidden in the shadows, adding a bit of murderous atmosphere.

The air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, which was so oppressive that it was suffocating.

"Who are you?" Dai Shiya tried to stay calm and asked in a cold tone, staring at the gun in the man's hand sharply.

She could feel her heart beating violently and beads of sweat oozing out of her palms, but she still kept a cool head and did not show any fear.

"You don't need to know who I am," the man said in a cold tone without a trace of emotion, "You just need to know that you have been exposed." He raised the gun in his hand slightly and pointed it at Dai Shiya's head, "Hand over the things, I can give you a quick death."

Dai Shiya did not speak, but stared at the man coldly, without any intention of compromise in her eyes.

At this moment, Wei Qing's voice came from Dai Shiya's headset: "Shiya, calm down! The other party is K2, who has received special training and is very dangerous. The ventilation duct in the room can lead to Area B. I will meet you there in three minutes."

Dai Shiya was delighted, and Wei Qing's voice gave her great encouragement and confidence.

She took a deep breath calmly to keep herself calm.

"It seems that you are not going to cooperate," K2's voice became even colder, and his finger slowly pulled the trigger, "Then don't blame me for being rude!"

At

the critical moment, Dai Shiya suddenly threw the file bag in her hand towards K2, and at the same time, her body quickly rolled to the left and hid behind a row of metal shelves. "Bang!" The sound of

gunfire echoed in the room, and the bullet hit the metal shelf, sparks flying.

"Want to run?" K2 sneered and quickly chased after him.

"K2's weakness is speed, use the environment to deal with him!" Wei Qing's voice sounded again in Dai Shiya's headset.

Dai Shiya remembered Wei Qing's reminder, shuttled between the metal shelves, and flexibly avoided K2's attack.

"You can't escape!" K2 roared, and kept shooting.

Dai Shiya ignored K2's shouting, her eyes were fixed on the entrance of the ventilation duct in the corner of the room...

"Three minutes..." She muttered in her heart, her eyes were firm.

K2 pressed on step by step, the sound of gunfire echoed in the small space, and the smell of gunpowder became stronger and stronger...

"You..." K2 stopped suddenly, his eyes widened in disbelief.

Dai Shiya was as flexible as a cunning cat, shuttling between the metal racks, and each dodge accurately avoided the trajectory of the bullet.

The gunshots were deafening, sparks flew, and the sharp sound of metal collisions cut through the air, irritating the eardrums of everyone present.

She could feel the strong wind of the bullets brushing past her ears, and she could also see the charred bullet marks left on the metal racks.

Every time K2 shot, he had a strong killing intention, but was cleverly resolved by Dai Shiya.

She knew that it was not a wise move to fight head-on. She took advantage of the complexity of the terrain and kept changing her position, making K2's shooting lose its accuracy.

Her flexible figure jumped between the dense metal racks, like a ghost in the dark night, making it difficult to catch.

"This woman..." The observer in the monitoring room exclaimed, his fingers tightly clasped the handrails. They thought they had won, but now they were in shock.

Dai Shiya's performance was beyond their expectations. She didn't look like a trapped prey, but rather like a hunter on the hunt.

Dai Shiya dodged K2's attack while carefully observing the surrounding environment.

She noticed that K2's footsteps were a little heavy and his movements were a little slow during the pursuit, which made her more certain that Wei Qing's judgment was correct.

K2's weakness was speed, and this was exactly the advantage she could take advantage of.

She quickly moved to a row of taller metal racks, jumped up, and climbed to the top of the rack like a cheetah.

K2 followed closely behind, firing wildly at Dai Shiya's position with the muzzle in his hand, but all the bullets hit the air.

Dai Shiya didn't give K2 a chance to breathe. She jumped down from a high place, used gravity to accelerate, and kicked K2 hard in the chest.

K2 was caught off guard, and his body fell backwards and hit a pile of metal racks, making a loud noise. In an instant, he felt that all his internal organs were displaced.

Dai Shiya didn't give him a chance to fight back. She quickly stepped forward and hit K2's neck hard with her elbow.

K2 groaned and the gun in his hand fell to the ground.

He struggled to get up, but Dai Shiya was faster. She snatched the gun from K2 and pointed it at his head.

"You lose." Dai Shiya's voice was cold and firm, and it was particularly clear in this room filled with smoke and gunpowder.

She didn't waste time, quickly picked up the file bag that had fallen to the ground before, turned around and ran towards the ventilation duct.

The observers in the monitoring room were stunned. They watched Dai Shiya's figure disappear at the entrance of the ventilation duct on the screen, and suddenly woke up. They had just seen a wonderful fight of trapped beasts.

"She... How did she do it?" An observer asked in a trembling voice, with disbelief on his face.

Dai Shiya got into the ventilation duct. The duct was filled with dust and mold, which made her feel a little uncomfortable. She held the file bag in her hand tightly in her arms, which contained the key information she had finally found.

She knew that this was far from enough, and she was still far from the real core secrets.

"Let's go to Area B." Dai Shiya said to the headset, her voice calm and firm. She held the document tightly in her hand, raised her head, and saw a glimmer of light at the end of the pipe, "This time, I won't give you another chance..."
