"Brother Ding!"
Little Four, who was at the door, suddenly shouted in grief and indignation. He, who had always been timid and weak, suddenly had a burst of courage. He raised his shovel and rushed over without a care for anything else.
The leopard was badly injured by Ding Meng's attack. He lay on the ground and could not get up for a while. However, Ding Meng's combat ability was not enough to pose a threat to him.
When the shovel came down, the leopard's right foot suddenly kicked backwards, and the shovel was sent flying. Following that, the leopard's left foot kicked backwards, and Little Four was kicked back to his original position. He was lying on the ground, unable to get up.
The system's voice said, "Warning, the experiment hall will be closed in 59 seconds, 58 seconds, 57 seconds …"
The leopard staggered forward. He looked at the corpse on the ground and gasped for air. Ding Meng had seriously injured him. His shoulder blade was shattered, and a few of his ribs were broken. He did not expect this young man to have such good skills. Even among the mercenaries above, he would be considered an expert.
"So what?
You're lucky to die under my Lightshadow, "the leopard muttered. He reached out to pull out the stiletto on the corpse's shoulder.
He did have the right to be arrogant. This Glowing Shadow Stiletto was a rare weapon. Even the mercenaries above might not have such a good stiletto. Glowing Shadow Stiletto had helped him hurt countless strong enemies in the mining area and helped him escape from desperate situations countless times. Ding Meng's death under this stiletto was not unjust at all.
However, the moment he bent down to pull out the stiletto, the "corpse" suddenly raised his right hand and swept toward his armpit in a strange arc.
Essence!
A deadly killer!
A real betrayal!
A dark golden light rose in the leopard's eyes. The leopard's facial muscles suddenly twisted. This was the expression of a human being who was in extreme pain.
A dark golden blade drilled into his armpit. The blade started from his armpit, followed his arm through his triceps, elbow tendons, forearm tendons, and finally stopped at the ulnar artery in his wrist. This arc was as precise as a scalpel. Not only did it cut open his artery, it also cut the tendons in his hand.
"Whoosh —"
Blood sprayed out like a fountain. Under the "blood rain", it looked like a red demonic fog. The leopard could no longer feel pain. Half of its body was completely numb.
Then, the "corpse" on the ground came back to life. Ding Meng turned over, staggered, and half-knelt. He turned his back to the leopard and slashed again without even turning his head. The dark golden light drilled into his chest. This was the gap between the third and fourth ribs, which was also the vital part of the heart.
This time, he finally saw clearly what the dark golden light was. It was a sharp, curved, crescent-shaped knife. Its entire body had a strange curve, and it looked like the sharp teeth of a monster.
It was a pity that the knife used to kill was never for people to see. When you saw it clearly, it would take your life.
The leopard lowered his head and looked at his chest. He still could not believe that this was real. Then, he looked up at Ding Meng. At this moment, the young laborer in his eyes was gone. What he saw was the image of a ruthless, cold-blooded killer.
Although he had seen people killed before, and he had killed many people himself, he had never seen such a precise and ruthless way of killing. An indescribable sense of fear suddenly surged in his heart.
"What are you …" His voice was suddenly cut off because Ding Meng did not give him a chance to speak. He raised his hand and pulled out the claw knife. As the blood mist sprayed out, the leopard's corpse fell to the ground with a thud.
Ding Meng sat down and leaned against the control panel, gasping for air. The last attack had exhausted all of his energy.
After the bayonet pierced his shoulder, he almost fainted. He held back his last breath and waited for the leopard to come over. He was still betting. He was betting that the leopard would not give up easily with the Light Shadow Bayonet. Just like his "T-shaped" claw knife, he loved it as if it was his own life.
Instead of saying that he liked to gamble, it was better to say that his life was mostly given by this knife.
In the center of the shiny, sharp blade, there was an exquisite "T-shaped" character engraved. Unfortunately, the claw knife was thrown to the side, and he had no strength to pick it up.
The system's voice said, "Warning! Warning! The experiment hall is closed. Final countdown: 30 seconds, 29 seconds, 28 seconds …"
"Brother Ding." Xiao Si crawled over from the passage with difficulty.
Ding Meng pointed at the ground weakly. He was pointing at the bag on the leopard's waist. Xiao Si did not understand what he meant.
Ding Meng panted and said, "He should have a lot of good stuff. Let's take it back."
Xiao Si reached out to help him up, but Ding Meng waved his hand and said, "If you run into Machine Gun on the way and he asks you, just say that you didn't see the leopard and that I'm still inside. Go find Vader and let him treat you in the med bay. Maybe we'll still have hope that way …"
His words were somewhat vague, but this time, Xiao Si finally understood what he meant. He could still walk, but Ding Meng was too badly injured to move.
If he could successfully find Vader with this bag, the wound on his back would be healed. When he recovered, he could come down to save Ding Meng …
Looking at Ding Meng's weak face, Xiao Si's eyes suddenly reddened. He understood that Ding Meng had made this choice because he did not want to implicate him.
So what if Ding Meng was not injured?
So what if they could escape together?
The leopard had already died at the hands of Ding Meng. Would Machine Gun let go of Ding Meng?
That was simply impossible!
So, in the end, he would still die. If the words of a dying man could be said to be kind, then Ding Meng letting him go alone was undoubtedly a kind gesture.
Kindness was such a laughable thing in this place, but it was also so precious because it was not something that could be exchanged for with Crystalline Diamonds.
The System's voice said, "Warning! Warning! The experiment hall will be closed in 14 seconds, 13 seconds, 12 seconds, 11 seconds …"
Xiao Si clenched his teeth and said word by word, "Brother Ding, hang in there. I will definitely come back. Please believe in me." After saying that, he picked up the leopard's bag and turned to leave.
Looking at Xiao Si's limping figure disappear at the entrance of the passage, Ding Meng's face revealed a gratified smile.
This was the 45th day since he had arrived at Black Gold Base. This was the first time he smiled in this place, and it was very likely to be the last time.
The System's voice said, "5, 4, 3, 2, 1 …"
The steel gate at the entrance of the passage had been completely lowered. With a click, it closed with the walls, and the experiment hall was finally closed.
