Chapter 868



.

The elevator rose quickly to the top floor.

Since the archive building had been sealed off and no one could enter that night, the elevator made no stops the entire ride and went up extremely quickly. As fast as Barbarian was, it was not going to be faster than the elevator.

Therefore, when Nora exited the elevator, Barbarian would have barely made it halfway up, at best.

He looked down.

At Staav University, the building with the archives was the tallest and had as many as fifty floors. It stood out among all the school buildings and was the hallmark of Staav University.

This tall building had led Staav University to success, so all important things were kept here.

At the top of the building, the wind whistled loudly. It was as if one would be blown away by the wind the moment one looked away.

Nora’s gaze swept the first floor. Nearly every police force in the entire school had congregated downstairs and surrounded the building. With this, unless Barbarian could fly, there was no way he could escape.

And obviously, flying was impossible.

No matter how much human genes were improved, they would never be able to get to that point.

Therefore, it was inevitable that Barbarian would be stopped today.

Nora withdrew her gaze, took a deep breath and headed for the stairs at the side. She opened the door and walked down the stairs to wait for Barbarian.

She stopped after she had gone down only two or three flights. He stood there and listened to the sounds slowly coming up from below.

Barbarian was physically very fit, so it was good that he climbed the stairs a few more floors and burned off some of his stamina.

Nora stayed where she was with her feline eyes narrowed and held her breath.

About two minutes later, she finally heard loud footsteps.

She leaned against the wall and looked down silently. The lights in the stairwell were all motion-sensitive, so the lights on each floor came on one by one as Barbarian hurried upstairs.

Nora lurked in the darkness in silence and watched as the lights below slowly came on. At last, Barbarian reached the floor directly below her!

After such a climb, although the SWAT agents led by Brenda were all physically very fit, in the end they could not catch up with Barbarian, whose genes had improved. They were about five floors away from him.

The sound of gunfire on the floor below could be heard constantly . Bullets were hitting the walls, causing dust to fall.

When she heard Barbarian’s footsteps coming from below, Nora pressed her back even tighter against the wall. The moment Barbarian finally turned around and was about to rush upstairs…!

Nora stood up abruptly, rested her hand on the handrail of the ladder and propelled herself forward. She shot forward like a leopard, with her leg kicking out towards Barbarian!

All the way up, Barbarian had only been on guard against gunfire from below. He never expected someone to attack from above, so he was stunned.

However, his genetically enhanced body had long since reached the limits of the human body.

His brain may not have reacted yet, but his body, with its keen senses, responded instinctively. Suddenly, he clenched his fists, raised his arms in front of him in self-defense, and received the kick Nora had given him with full force.

THUD!

The sound of bodies making contact echoed. Nora’s kick, with full force, managed to force Barbarian to take a couple of steps backwards and he stopped immediately.

The lights came on.

When Barbarian got a good look at Nora, his red eyes immediately revealed a bloodthirsty murderous intent. He sneered and said, “After Justin Hunt used those tricks in America, you also came here to ambush me. The two of you, husband and wife, are really the same kind and incredibly insidious.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

Nora stood still in her seat with a calm expression on her face. She saw that Brenda and her men were about to come running up to them, so she immediately said, “Hand it over and I’ll let you go all the way up.”

Barbarian sneered at her. “Your husband might have a chance to stop me for a moment, but you? You actually dare to threaten me?”

His gaze landed on Nora’s leg. “If I’m not mistaken, your leg must be numb by now.”

Nora’s leg was indeed numb.

Based on everything he had seen so far, Barbarian’s physical constitution was truly unique!

Even if she trained hard, she probably wouldn’t be able to achieve a physical condition like his.

Humans repeatedly trained and stimulated their muscles precisely to get closer and closer to the limits of what was humanly possible. However, Barbarian had undergone genetic modifications since he was a child; his body was the limit of human potential itself!

Despite this, Nora still seemed relaxed. “I know you’re very strong, but no matter how powerful you are, you’re still human. In the face of a firearm attack, your body doesn’t even need to be mentioned.”

Firearms invented by humans could instantly kill even an elephant, let alone Barbarian.

To catch Barbarian, Brenda had deployed a lot of firepower this time!

Even if Barbarian was wearing a bulletproof vest, there was no way he could withstand so many attacks.

Barbarian narrowed his eyes. As he listened to the approaching footsteps from below, he let out a low bark. “You must be sick of living!”

He rushed forward mercilessly at once. Instead of trying to bludgeon his way through with brute force, this time, he brandished a pistol. Just as he was about to shoot Nora, his arm suddenly went numb!

Barbarian lowered his head sharply to see a silver needle stuck in his arm.

He raised his head sharply again. Nora was still standing where she was, as if she hadn’t moved. However, a silver glint flashed across her fingertips: evidently, she was the one who had shot the needle into him.

Barbarian frowned and sneered again. “You think a single needle can finish me off? Even if it can go through my bulletproof vest, what can it do to me? You’re nothing but an ant trying to do things beyond its power.”

As he spoke, he tried to raise his arm once more, but found that it had gone completely numb. Her fingers were no longer as nimble….

Seeing this, Nora finally took a deep breath. She continued to hold herself away from him as she slowly said, “Yes, one needle isn’t much, but what if it’s coated with tranquilizers?”.

Besides, it was a dose capable of knocking out an elephant.

Nora had never dared to underestimate her opponent. In the United States, she had already proven how powerful Barbarian was. Even when she and Justin had joined forces, they were unable to push Barbarian back in the slightest.

Therefore, when Brenda confirmed that Barbarian was here, she had already made all the preparations.

Otherwise, why would she come alone to intercept him? She wasn’t stupid.

Wouldn’t she be tempting fate for nothing if she did?

Barbarian struggled to wiggle his fingers again, but found that they had become much stiffer. In fact, with his movements, the numbness had spread to his whole arm….

If this kept up, the tranquilizer would soon spread throughout his body as the blood circulated through his arteries.

The sound of Brenda and the others chasing him was heard again from below at that moment: they had already caught up with him!

Barbarian, who no longer had time to shoot Nora, wanted to go upstairs immediately.

“I advise you not to move.”

Nora said impassively, “The more intense your actions, the faster your blood will flow and the faster the calming effect will spread…”

Barbarian: “!”

His senses were razor sharp. He could already feel the numbness starting to spread from his arm to the rest of his limbs….. He couldn’t move anymore!

As soon as Barbarian discovered this, he heard the thin woman upstairs say coldly and lazily, “Oh, wait, you’ve already done intense exercise when you were climbing the stairs just now, so the blood was already circulating through your arteries faster than normal. Therefore, you probably can’t move anymore, right?”

Barbarian: “!”

No matter how slow Barbarian is, at this moment, he finally understood: he had been tricked!

When the woman was advising him not to move and all, he was just buying time.

He looked at Nora with fury.

Nora, however, waited another two seconds. She couldn’t afford to wait for Brenda and the others to arrive because their firepower would turn Barbarian into Swiss cheese and they would end up destroying the V16.

Therefore, after calculating the time, he approached Barbarian from above. With his needle as a blade, he made a quick slash, cutting the bandages Barbarian had tied tightly around him, and grabbed the black box!!!!
