Chapter 627 Scheme
Chapter 627 Scheme
Who was so persistent in trying to kill him?
At that moment, another strong sound of something breaking the sound barrier reached him, and another RPG missile flew towards his location.
"Sword Qi!"
Wang Chao's gaze turned cold as he pointed forward with a sword finger.
A mighty Sword Qi burst forth, traversing through the sea of flames, leaping out of the window, and soaring towards the incoming missile.
The Sword Qi shredded the missile, cutting it into two halves, causing it to explode violently in mid-air.
Like a splendid firework blooming in the sky, the explosion illuminated the night, and the shockwave swept through the surroundings.
"God's Eye!"
Wang Chao activated his God's Eye ability, looking towards the direction from where the missile came.
Five hundred meters away from the castle, a black-clothed figure was staring coldly in his direction, with eyes as sharp as a hawk's.
Beside the black-clothed figure, there was a vehicle loaded with many weapons.
"The Blood Demon Mercenary Group!"
Wang Chao recognized the emblem on the black-clothed figure's clothes as that of the mercenary group. A cold glint appeared in his eyes, and he felt a surge of killing intent.
He had indeed offended the Blood Demon Mercenary Group before and even spared the lives of some of their members. Yet, instead of gratitude, their leader dispatched assassins to kill him on several occasions.
It was practically seeking death!
The black-clothed figure continued to stare menacingly at Wang Chao. After failing with the second shot, he stored the weapons back into the vehicle and drove away.
As a professional assassin, unless they could ensure a one-hit kill, they had to leave immediately once their mission failed.
Wang Chao wanted to chase after them, but he couldn't afford to waste any more time. He had important matters to attend to, such as keeping an eye on Bernard.
Wait!
Bernard?
Wang Chao's expression changed drastically as he quickly turned his head to look back at Bernard's room.
At this moment, Bernard's room was already empty.
Somehow, Bernard had vanished without a trace.
"Where did he go?"
Wang Chao's expression turned grim.
Nearly a day and two nights had passed, and even if Shen Bing had a plan, she would have become hungry and weak. If Bernard had reached her location, Shen Bing would be in somber danger.
Damn it!
Wang Chao's eyes turned cold, no longer caring about the black-clothed figure. Instead, he rushed to Bernard's room.
There were no secret passages or meteorite walls in the room this time.
However, Bernard was nowhere to be found.
He had disappeared without a trace, as if he had dissolved into thin air, leaving no clues behind.
Wang Chao's face darkened.
He knew that he had fallen into their trap.
The black-clothed figure only started attacking when Wang Chao heard the faint rustling sound from Bernard's body.
The timing was too coincidental!
Bernard was likely cooperating with the Blood Demon Mercenary Group.
From the first attack to the second attack, it took only a short ten seconds.
In that brief moment, Bernard had already disappeared from his sight, a speed that no ordinary person could achieve.
"You desire to play hide and seek?"
"Fine, I'll accompany you to the end."
"Let's see who finds Bingbing first, you or me."
Wang Chao looked at the empty room, a smile curling up at the corners of his mouth.
The less time he had, the more tense the situation, and the more calm and excited he became.
This long-lost feeling made him ecstatic.
In the underground basement, Shen Bing and the old man, along with the other women, were all lying weakly on the ground, breathing heavily, their eyes filled with despair.
They had been searching for the opening of the door and the control switch for what seemed like a long time, but they still could not find a way out.
"It's over, everything is over. We can not get out."
"I'm so hungry!!"
"If we can not get out, does that mean we're going to die here?"
"We have water here, so at least we won't starve in the short term."
"Based on past experience, every time Bernard captures a new person, he will come and torture them immediately. It's been so long now, why hasn't he come yet?"
Many of the women were sitting on the ground, discussing frantically, their eyes filled with hopelessness.
Time passed, and they had tried every method, but still, they could not find a way to open the door. They're in utter despair.
Even the old man who used to reside in this underground cave felt hopeless!
He had searched every inch of the place, but there was still no way to find an exit. The entrance he used to come and go had long been sealed by Bernard.
Now, he was at a loss and felt that he was about to meet his end.
"There must be a way, there must be. Shen Feng is still waiting for me. I absolutely cannot give up here."
Shen Bing did not feel defeated or hopeless. Instead, she stood to the side, observing everything around her, murmuring to herself, "Every place has an exit, as long as we search diligently, we'll find it."
She stood up, looked around, her eyes sharp.
She could not just sit and wait for death; she had to find a way to escape.
Only by leaving this place would she have a chance, and only then could she see her younger brother again.
"Right, the wind!"
"There is wind here, which means there must be a ventilation opening. If we follow the position of the ventilation opening, we might be able to escape."
Suddenly, Shen Bing's skin seemed to sense something, and her eyes filled with excitement.
She felt the wind!
This meant there was a ventilation opening!
She quickly took off her clothes and used her skin to sense the movement of the wind. Then, she rushed towards another direction.
But when she reached the ventilation opening, her hope was dashed once again.
This was not a ventilation opening; it was an air conditioner!
The wind was blowing from the air conditioner!
In other words, there was no exit as she had imagined.
"Damn it!"
Shen Bing looked at the air conditioner, her whole being filled with anger. She struck the air conditioner fiercely, her chest heaving with frustration.
"This won't work. There must be another way. Bernard was able to bring so many people down here without a sound; there must be more than one exit."
After venting her inner anger, Shen Bing quickly calmed down and once again fell into deep thought, pondering an escape route.
