Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Is This Still Human?

Levi reacted quickly, immediately shouting into the walkie-talkie: "We have enemies! Get ready!"

The company's security personnel all had gun permits, so he wasn't too worried.

But when Levi saw the weapons in the hands of the people getting off the transport trucks, he immediately started complaining.

"What?"

The back doors of the transport trucks opened, and masked gang members jumped out.

They were holding various restricted weapons, such as fully automatic rifles and even RPGs.

"Is this still New York?"

"Even a gang war isn't this fierce!"

Levi immediately told 2B: "Call the police quickly!"

"Boss, please do not get out of the car."

2B had already called the police, and while reversing the car, she spoke to Levi.

"I know, this car is bulletproof."

Fortunately, Levi was cautious by nature; the customized Maybach he ordered was bulletproof.

"Which gang is this?"

Levi watched as they moved further away, no longer worried about himself.

Luckily, 2B hadn't been following too closely, giving them room to retreat first.

He couldn't figure out which gang this was. New York, a global metropolis, was full of gangs and underground emperors.

Levi picked up the walkie-talkie: "Focus on protecting Professor Connors!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the fighting began.

These security guards were all veterans, naturally unafraid of combat.

At that moment, the Future Technology Company transport trucks opened small ports, and smoke grenades were thrown out one by one.

"Bang!"

In an instant, the entire street became shrouded in smoke.

The gang members seemed to have 'reservations'; they didn't dare shoot indiscriminately, only using their weapons for deterrence.

Their goal wasn't to kill people, but to steal the research data.

Due to news coverage, Professor Connors' serum had become highly desirable.

Who wouldn't want 'limb regeneration'?

Therefore, even after the smoke grenades were thrown, they didn't immediately open fire.

And then they became ghosts under the guns.

These veterans, disabled from participating in war, were not comparable to common thugs.

"Da da da!"

Although their weapons weren't in the same league, the veterans were incredibly accurate, and many gang members instantly fell into pools of blood.

Levi sat in the bulletproof car, put on a pair of goggles that cut through the smoke, and casually retrieved a bottle of champagne from the car fridge, pouring it into a flute and drinking.

Just thugs, clearly out of their depth.

The gang members were dispersed and hid behind cover.

"Open fire! Don't worry about it anymore!"

"But Boss wants us to protect the goods!"

"Protect what?! We're all going to die!"

The gang thugs immediately started arguing.

"Bang!"

Just as one of the minor leaders was about to order them to open fire, he was shot in the head.

Levi applauded: "2B, nice shot."

"Boss, someone is taking advantage of the situation to approach Vehicle One."

2B's tactical goggles were naturally unaffected, allowing her to clearly see a humanoid figure approaching the transport truck, and the veterans were being taken down without any resistance.

This person was not tall, appearing rather slender in 2B's eyes, but their figure was agile and well-trained.

Clearly, this was a human female.

Levi also saw it. When he noticed the veterans being taken down, he immediately said: "2B, hurry and go protect Professor Connors!"

"But, Boss, you..."

2B was normally aloof; in the game, she would shyly run away if someone peeked at her skirt, but now she showed a hint of worry.

"Hurry! I won't go outside!"

Levi said anxiously.

Professor Connors was an idealistic good man, and Levi knew him and his wife; they were both very kind people.

Although they were business partners, they were also friends.

Sensing Levi's anxiety, 2B immediately obeyed the order and got out of the car... "What's happening outside?"

Professor Connors tightly hugged his data.

However, since he only had one arm, he seemed somewhat helpless.

Staying in the truck with him was Jennings, Captain of the security squad, who was currently protecting him.

Jennings had lost a leg in the war, so he was grateful to Levi for giving him a second chance in life.

"The noise stopped."

Jennings listened carefully.

After he spoke, he heard someone twisting the door handle outside, trying to open it and enter.

He immediately shielded Professor Connors behind him and shouted: "Who's there?"

There was no answer, and he grew more nervous, raising his gun.

"Clang!"

The car door was opened. Jennings immediately raised his gun, but the person who opened the door reacted quickly, instantly wrapping around his arm and knocking the gun away.

"Hello."

Hearing her voice, Jennings glanced over and saw a beautiful blonde woman.

Then he was knocked unconscious.

The woman was very young, wearing a black bodysuit with beautiful blonde hair. She reached out and said: "Professor Connors? I don't want to hurt you, please come with me."

"Who are you?"

Professor Connors naturally refused and asked.

"Yelena."

Yelena replied, then reached out to grab Professor Connors.

However, a small, gloved hand gripped her like an iron vise.

Yelena quickly turned her head and saw a masked woman facing her, with short white hair and wearing a Gothic dress.

Why is she dressed like that?

"Professor Connors is not going with you."

As 2B exerted force, Yelena felt as if her arm was about to break.

Then she also exerted force, lunging straight at 2B, climbing onto 2B's body with strange movements, and pressing down hard.

"?

Yelena was stunned; this strange woman hadn't budged an inch.

If it were anyone else, even a strong man several sizes larger than her, they would have been slammed hard onto the ground.

Subsequently, 2B directly flung Yelena away.

"Bang!"

Yelena's back slammed against the carriage wall, and she fell to the ground.

"Ouch!"

She rubbed her back, then quickly pulled out a gun.

"Bang bang bang!"

She seemed to possess the skills of a U.S. police officer, emptying the clip instantly.

In response, 2B dodged the bullets effortlessly, as if dancing.

Seeing this situation, Yelena knew her mission was a failure.

How can anyone react fast enough to dodge bullets?

Is this still human?!

Therefore, Yelena quickly took advantage of the dissipating smoke and ran toward the street corner.

"Aren't you going to chase her?"

Professor Connors sighed in relief. If there had been no other choice, he had been ready to inject the serum himself.

In any case, he absolutely could not allow himself to be captured.

"My mission is to protect you."

2B said in a very aloof manner.

She had a cold exterior but a warm heart, giving outsiders a very detached impression.

"Professor, please follow me."

Then, 2B spoke again, sounding anxious.

Professor Connors looked over and saw a group of fearless battlefield reporters arriving even faster than the New York Police Department... Seeing the reporters, Levi was passively triggered and immediately rolled down his window to accept interviews.

No wonder 2B was anxious.
