Chapter 869



.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

The sound of gunfire and footsteps rushed upward. Brenda appeared below them, just a flight of stairs away.

After Nora got the V16, she quickly retreated….

As for Barbarian, who had killed so many people, even if he was reduced to pulp by the firepower of Brenda and company, he had nothing to do with Nora.

Nora wasn’t going to be a saint and think of Barbarian as a pitiful soul who had been forced into this.

It might be true that he had become what he was today because he had been used as an experimental subject when he was a child, but no matter the reason, it was no excuse for him to take other people’s lives at his whim!

Therefore, after Nora received the black box, she immediately stepped back to put distance between herself and Barbarian. However, it was right at that moment that Barbarian moved!

This made no sense, because Nora had been planning today for a long time. The silver needle might seem small, but the amount of tranquilizer it held was absolutely capable of knocking out even an elephant.

However, Barbarian had not been knocked out.

Everything from a moment ago was just an act. No… Maybe he had been paralyzed for an instant, or maybe he had been paralyzed until that moment, but in any case, just as Brenda approached and Nora took the V16 from him, Barbarian attacked!

His gun had fallen to the ground due to paralysis.

Without the gun, he lunged at Nora’s wrist with lightning speed and sneered. “As it turns out, I didn’t have any hostages with me at the moment!”

In other words, he was going to take Nora hostage!

This way, even if Brenda and the others rushed at her, they would no longer be able to shoot her with their firepower.

Barbarian moved very fast. Moreover, having successfully paralyzed him a moment ago, anyone would be caught off guard, no matter who it was. Once he succeeded, the V16 would still be his, and besides, he would even gain a hostage to stay alive with!

Barbarian had it all planned out, but all he grabbed was air.

Nora, who should have been close, was already two steps away from him at that moment, Which turned out to be enough for him to escape from her clutches!

Nora couldn’t beat Barbarian in a fight.

She had known that for a long time. In fact, when she had been in America, she had even suffered at his hands for it. Even when she and Justin had joined forces, they were still no match for Barbarian.

Therefore…

Even if she had already prepared the needle and tranquilizer, Nora would not make the mistake of underestimating the enemy again.

Therefore, whether Barbarian was really paralyzed or just faking it, Nora was prepared to flee the moment she got the V16.

Still, despite having prepared herself beforehand, Barbarian had come close to catching her.

Nora was greatly alarmed.

No wonder Brenda and the others couldn’t catch Barbarian even after so many years. That man was simply too strong.

If it wasn’t that the tranquilizer had taken some effect and slowed Barbarian’s movements a bit, they would still have caught her! It didn’t matter that she had made so many preparations and had been so vigilant.

She was too lucky to have escaped by the skin of her teeth. Nora thought as she quickly fled down the stairs.

She didn’t dare let her imagination run wild anymore, because Barbarian was already chasing her like a madman after having missed her once.

Nora ran upstairs with all her might. Once she reached the top floor, where the field of vision was wide, she would only have to hold on for a minute… no, in just ten seconds or so, Brenda and the others could rush up and bombard it with firepower.

However, she was still a little uneasy because Barbarian’s movements were simply too fast. The man had climbed more than 50 floors without pause and had even been hit with tranquilizers, but he was maintaining a speed equal to hers!

The two kept running with three steps between them the whole time….

Nora came up quickly, not daring to waste time. Just as she was about to run to a safe position in sight, she suddenly heard a voice.

“This way!”

The sudden voice on the top floor startled Nora.

She turned her head sharply. In the split second it took to do so, Barbarian caught up with Nora and directed a punch to the back of her head.

After climbing the last two floors, the tranquilizer in Barbarian’s body seemed to have dissipated. He had quickly gotten over it – his powerful physical build left Nora dumbfounded!

No matter how prepared she was, in front of Barbarian, it was strength that had the last word!

And he had never been a reasonable person!

Nora could feel the punch coming at the back of her neck, but her body seemed immobilized. Just when she could no longer get free….

Someone suddenly lunged at her from the side.

Bam!

The man blocked Nora’s blow with his body, which sent him flying and he fell heavily to the ground.

With the V16 in her hand, Nora didn’t dare do anything. She merely spun around and put some distance between herself and Barbarian. Then she looked at the man eagerly.

Justin had finally arrived, she thought.

After all, it had been a long time since that scum’s last appearance. Besides, he hadn’t even contacted her.

However, she knew Justin must have been close by and constantly paying attention to V16.

But when she took a good look, the man who could no longer get up after Barbarian knocked him to the ground with a punch was actually…. Caleb?

“Is that you?” exclaimed Barbarian, who was also clearly surprised.

Caleb, who had collapsed to the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood.

The man, who had cancer, didn’t have long to live in the first place. The punch seemed to have hit his lungs, making him cough violently. Nevertheless, he struggled to speak. “Barbarian… cough… cough… long time… cough… no see… cough, cough… it’s not too late…. to regret… cough, cough…”

“To hell with regret!”

Barbarian looked a little puzzled. “You and I are in the same boat. You should hate people who, like them, don’t take our lives seriously. yet you defend it!”

Caleb suppressed the metallic taste of blood in his mouth and replied, “She’s also in the same boat as us. Her mother experimented on her too.”

“What do you mean, in the same boat?”

Barbarian was furious. “The injection her mother gave her was safe. It’s a genetic serum with an antidote, she’s fine! But how many of us have died?”

Hearing this, Caleb started coughing again. He said, “But she’s only looking for the V16 to save her son, he’s also been used as an experimental subject, isn’t that enough?”

“No, it isn’t!” Barbarian glared at Caleb. “How can that make up for those thousand children who died in the lab back then?”

At that moment, Barbarian suddenly narrowed his eyes and sneered. “Besides, what right do you have to judge me? Caleb, we’ve always been enemies, haven’t we, the five of us enemies because we all need the V16! We all want to live!

So… since I’ve run into you today, once I’ve taken care of her, I don’t mind getting rid of you either, Trueman’s lackey! Besides, you’re here to help Trueman get rid of me, aren’t you?”.

After speaking, Barbarian raised his fist again and charged towards Nora.

But as soon as he moved, someone grabbed his leg. Barbarian looked down to see Caleb grabbing his leg and yelling at Nora, “Hurry run!”.

Nora: “!!!!”

He looked at the two of them, his gaze landed on Caleb’s face.

There was blood at the corner of the man’s lip and he was as pale as a sheet. Yet those deep, bottomless eyes of his showed determination at that moment.

“You must have a death wish!”

Seeing what he was doing, Barbarian kicked him again.

Despite that, even though Caleb had already balled up in pain, he simply refused to let go!

Bam!

Barbarian kicked him again.

Caleb vomited another mouthful of blood.

Bam!

Barbarian didn’t hold back and kicked him again, each kick landing in Caleb’s abdomen. Nora was nowhere near them, but as a senior surgeon, she knew Caleb’s internal organs might have already been displaced by the kicks.

She clenched her fists tightly.

Bam!

Barbarian kicked Caleb again, who crashed into the side wall and passed out.

Only then did Barbarian turn and look at Nora.

The instant he was about to attack…. “Freeze!”

“Fire! Get him away!”

Brenda and the others had finally arrived!!!!!

There was no way for Barbarian to defend himself anymore!!!!!
