Atlas of Heaven and Man

As Chen Chuan walked forward, he suddenly sensed something and looked up, noticing a figure flash across the broken gap above the fortress.

At this moment, inside the sentry post, Tong Qianjiang was already standing behind the entrance, holding a knife high, waiting.

Although this entrance wasn't short, it was quite narrow, only allowing one person to pass through at a time. Moreover, the walls were thick, making it impossible for anyone rushing in to retreat. Therefore, as soon as someone entered, he could bring his knife down and chop them.

Behind him, Fang Dawei and his group were also scattered around the open space, waiting in full battle array, while people on the second floor were also aiming their guns at the entrance.

However, the clear sound of footsteps, after taking three steps towards the entrance, suddenly disappeared.

While everyone was waiting, the spider-like Lao Qi suddenly looked up and saw a figure suddenly leap down from the hole above. Instantly, the light inside the fortress dimmed. He shouted, "He's above!"

Everyone quickly turned their guns and fired continuously, but they were still a step too late.

After Chen Chuan landed on the circular second-floor platform, he immediately crouched down, then rolled to the side, as several bullets whizzed past him.

After getting up, he pushed off with his feet and charged towards a person not far away, the long knife he held scraping sparks off the wall.

That person fired two shots at him, but Chen Chuan was too fast and almost skimming the ground, causing both shots to miss. Before the third shot could be fired, Chen Chuan made a close-quarters diagonal slash. With a whoosh, that person's head and shoulder flew off his body!

Someone below exclaimed, "Lao Ba!"

Chen Chuan's eyes were cold as he continued forward. The next person was not far away, seemingly afraid of accidentally hitting his teammate, so he didn't fire at first. At this moment, he grabbed a heavy box beside him, his arm muscles bulging, and with a 'ha' sound, he swung it towards Chen Chuan.

Chen Chuan watched the box, which almost completely obscured his vision, and reached out to gently push it aside. With the force activated, the wooden box, weighing at least several hundred kilograms, was easily moved aside as if it were weightless, bursting open in mid-air, scattering countless debris onto the lower level, immediately causing chaos.

He himself, however, used the force of pushing the box to accelerate forward. A sharp blade flashed, and the part of that person's chest and above instantly separated from his body and flew out.

At this moment, he saw gun muzzles aiming at him from below, and he casually used the half of the body he had severed to block them. The sounds of gunfire rang out, and all the bullets were blocked by the implants on the remains.

He pushed out with his hand, and the half of the body, carrying a gust of wind, smashed down towards the people below. He started running again, heading towards the last person on this floor.

That person's eyes were fierce. He dropped his rifle, pulled out a pistol, and fired at him repeatedly. However, Chen Chuan moved his feet left and right, avoiding the incoming bullets each time. After a few steps, he had already closed the distance. The blade stabbed forward, but it seemed to meet a layer of resistance when it pierced the opponent's chest. The appearance wasn't obvious, but the person opposite him also had protective implants!

The person involuntarily took two steps back from the impact of the knife, but he seemed to rely on his bravery, roaring wildly, and reaching out with both hands to grab the blade.

Chen Chuan was expressionless, twisting and pulling his wrist, and the person screamed instantly.

As he tried to take the opportunity to attack again, he suddenly felt something strange and leaned back, his feet firmly planted on the ground. He saw a black shadow brush past in front of him, then stick to the wall beside him with a '啪' sound, then move its four feet frantically, quickly climbing upwards like a spider, soon disappearing into a crack.

At this moment, his body was almost leaning back at a forty-five-degree angle, as if the bowstring had been pulled to its limit. There seemed to be a huge force pulling him forward, and his whole person suddenly rushed forward.

Because he had been slowed down just now, the person in front of him and the robbers below were all aiming at him and firing continuously, forming a crossfire. There were many bullet marks on the surrounding walls.

At this moment, he felt as if something had poked him in the ribs. It was a bullet hitting his body, but it felt like only a slight dent, and it slid directly off his protective suit.

His eyes flickered slightly. He had already prepared to use his 'Second Self,' but now it seemed unnecessary. This protective suit was indeed very effective, and he didn't even feel much of the impact, so he simply stopped being cautious, covered his face with his hand, and charged directly forward through the bullets.

The person opposite him saw him coming and quickly retreated, firing several shots in the process, but the bullets that hit him all slid off, and he was shocked. He quickly took a step to the side, trying to jump to the first floor to escape.

At this moment, Chen Chuan advanced rapidly. After reaching within striking distance, an arc of light flashed from below, and one of the person's feet was severed, causing him to scream and lose his balance, falling into the air.

Chen Chuan then rushed forward two steps. At this moment, he held the hilt of the knife with both hands, raised the long knife high above his head, shouted, and slashed down. With a clang, that person's head bounced up from the ground, then fell down again, rolling all the way to Fang Dawei and the others' feet.

Tong Qianjiang, who was closest to the door, immediately took out his gun upon hearing the order, first fired a few shots outside, then stuck to the edge of the door, paying attention to the movements outside.

Chen Chuan also took this opportunity to adjust his breathing and took a look at the general situation inside the sentry post.

Apart from those seriously injured lying on the ground, there were probably five people standing within sight at this moment. One of them, looking like a doctor, stood in the corner, his hands in the pockets of his coat, with a calm expression on his face, as if it was none of his business.

Of the remaining four, the leader was undoubtedly Fang Dawei. The big guy next to him, over two meters tall, should be Tong Baitao. He had seen Tong Qianjiang at the door before, although he was wearing a mask at that time, he could recognize him by his figure and eyes.

Finally, there was a small man, with a somewhat frightened expression, wearing glasses, and a weak figure, completely unlike the others, who were fierce. He seemed to be a technician.

Guan Yuming's deputy said that Fang Dawei and his group had a total of six people with implants. He killed one at the entrance when he came in, and then killed two on this floor.

Then there should be three more.

Including the person who was constantly crawling around above his head like a spider, there should only be Fang Dawei and Tong Baitao left. In fact, it could be seen from their appearance that the abnormalities on these two people were very obvious.

Then next, as long as these three people are killed, the remaining people will not pose much of a threat.

He slowly held the Xuejun knife horizontally in front of him. He had just killed several people in a row, but there was not a trace of blood on it, and it was still as bright as new, with a bone-chilling coldness.

He waved the knife to the side, took a step forward, and jumped directly down from the second floor, landing steadily with a bang. A cloud of dust rose up and slowly spread out from around his body, then gradually subsided, and he slowly straightened his body.

Fang Dawei and the others exchanged glances, then slowly moved and surrounded him. At this moment, Lao Qi also silently climbed from the cracks on the second floor to above the first floor, staring at the back of his head and neck.

At this moment, Tong Baitao threw away the gun in his hand, then pulled out two pure steel short sticks from his waist, and charged towards him with a ferocious look. At this moment, the small man who looked like a technician suddenly changed his original frightened appearance, became fierce, picked up a knife in both hands, and slashed towards his head like crazy.

Chen Chuan watched calmly. Under the overlap of the "Second Self," not only his strength, but also his reaction speed doubled. So at this moment, in his eyes, everything around him seemed to have a slow-motion effect.

Moreover, regardless of whether they were in front or behind, even people not in his line of sight, their movements seemed to be subtly detected by him through information such as sound and smell.

Although Tong Baitao and that kid came towards him at the same time, there was a sequence between the two. He simply took half a step actively towards the small kid on the right, stretched out his long knife and pushed, and the small kid was led to turn towards Tong Baitao with the knife. In order to avoid a collision, Tong Baitao slowed down his pace subconsciously.

At this time, Chen Chuan pulled the knife back again. Originally, the small kid was being led astray, causing one side of his body to be exposed to Chen Chuan. In panic, he was desperately pulling the blade back. With Chen Chuan's force, the whole person was brought back and inevitably rushed forward a few steps while losing his balance.

Chen Chuan then took another half step to the side. When the small kid crossed paths with him, he gently patted the back of the latter's head. This action was almost identical to the action of hitting the sandbag when his strength was first formed.

With a '啪' sound, blood spurted out from the small kid's eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. The whole head seemed to soften and collapse in an instant. Chen Chuan then pressed on the small kid's chest, stopped his figure, and gently pushed him forward. The latter's body flew up and crashed towards Tong Baitao behind!
