CHAPTER 826 RAINING BULLETS
Sophie recomposed herself and heightened her concentration when she heard the intense fighting sounds coming from outside. I just need a while longer. Arius should be able to hold on until then, right?
Arius, who hadn't had enough rest recently, was in trouble because a few more terrorists had arrived.
“F*ck!” Arius cursed. Why do I need to deal with this bullsh*t in Anglandur? Still, I must guard the entrance of the laboratory no matter what. Since I've already promised Sophie that I would guard the entrance, I can't break my promise.
However, he was already heavily injured, and he ended up crashing to the ground upon receiving a kick from a terrorist.
Arius intended to rise to his feet once again because he wasn't giving up.
He struggled with all his might, but he couldn't get back up on his feet.
A terrorist then went over to him and stepped on his body.
“D*mn it!” Arius' face was contorted with pain. I'm the best surgeon in the world, so I need my hands! If they injure my hands, I'll never get to operate again!
Right when Arius was about to retract his hand, the terrorist instantly stomped on it. Arius was in so much pain that his face was turning pale.
At this very moment, Tristan finally found them. When he saw what those terrorists were doing to Arius, he took aim and shot them down with a bullet each.
Prior to that, Arius really thought that was the end for him.
Hence, he was relieved when he saw the terrorists getting shot down one by one.
Arius then forced himself to sit up, and that was when he saw Tristan.
“You're finally here!” Arius knew Tristan would surely appear to save Sophie.
Tristan approached Arius and pulled the corpse on top of Arius' body aside. “Are you all right? Where is Sophie? Where is she?” Tristan got worried because he didn't see Sophie around.
“She's inside. She said she could definitely beat the virus this time around, so she told me to guard the entrance for half an hour.” Arius glanced at his watch. It's almost time.
“She should be out soon,” Arius added.
True enough, the entrance to the laboratory opened automatically, and Sophie was seen walking out.
When she saw Tristan there, she went to hug him. “Why are you here?”
“I got worried about you after I found out what happened here. Are you all right?” Tristan asked.
“I'm fine. All right. Let's get out of here. It's not safe anymore.” Since the terrorists had already targeted the place, the building could be destroyed at any moment.” They had to get out of there as soon as possible.
“Okay.” Tristan gave Sophie a gun while he was still holding the submachine gun he came in with.
“Are you all right, Arius?” Only then did Sophie bother to ask about Arius.
“What the f*ck? You're rather ungrateful, aren't you? You forgot about me the moment you saw Mr. Tristan! Didn't I guard the entrance for you? Can't you see I got heavily beaten up?” Arius grumbled. My handsome face is ruined! I can't even look at myself in the mirror now!
“That's enough. I think the terrorists are out to get us. We need to leave now!” Sophie said.
“How are we supposed to do that? The terrorists have the International Medical Association surrounded now. Besides, there are a lot of Anglandurans who are kept in the dark out there. We can't get out!” Arius learned about the situation outside moments ago.
Indeed, the situation had become very complicated.
Right then, Tristan gave Sophie a black mask and said, “Get rid of your white coat. The terrorists are after you and Arius.” Sophie and Arius played a big role in the virus research, so the terrorists had since targeted them.
“Oh.” Although things weren't looking good, Sophie was still as cool as a cucumber. She took off her white coat and put on the mask to conceal her beautiful face.
Arius saw what she did and followed suit. Well, no one seems to care about me now. I should just do whatever they're doing.
By the time Tristan had brought the both of them to the rooftop, the terrorists had spotted them and chased after them.
Arius heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the helicopter over his head. This is something only Mr. Tristan is capable of doing. Also, he's the only person who has the financial capability to come here with a helicopter.
“You should go up first!” Arius said to Sophie. After all, she was the only female there.
“As if!” Sophie wrapped the rope around Arius' waist and signaled the people in the helicopter to pull him up.
“You're only going to be a burden if you stay here,” Sophie said to Arius. Arius will slow us down!
Just then, the terrorists had caught up to them, and Tristan stopped them by spraying bullets at the entrance to the rooftop with his submachine gun.
That burst of fire successfully stopped the terrorists in their tracks.
“What should we do now? The people Boss wants us to catch are on the rooftop. If we let them get away, we're doomed!”
“That submachine gun is too strong. We can't get up there. However, don't worry. There are only three of them, so we have the number advantage! Call for backup!”
“Go up to the helicopter. I'll cover you,” Tristan said to Sophie. We need to get out of here as quickly as we can. Otherwise, we'll be in trouble once the enemy's reinforcements arrive.
Sophie nodded and watched the rope getting lowered once again before grabbing onto it and climbing upward.
Arius looked down from the helicopter and smiled when he saw how good of a climber Sophie was.
Nevertheless, he shook his head in the end. Forget about it! Sophie had never been an ordinary woman.
Suddenly, someone on the rooftop of the next building fired at the helicopter.
Seeing that, Tristan rushed over, aimed at the person on the rooftop, and put a bullet through the person's head. Yet, the terrorists were outnumbering them.
Right before a bullet could reach Sophie, she did a backflip in the air and dodged the bullet.
After that, she quickly made her way up into the helicopter. At that moment, only Tristan was left on the rooftop.
Sophie wasn't scared when she was dodging those bullets, but the moment she saw Tristan being alone on the rooftop, she got worried.
“What should we do now, Sophie? The enemy is outnumbering us, and Tristan is down there alone. I'm worried...”
