The elevator initially sailed smoothly for two and a half minutes. Yuan looked out the window lazily, and the night sky gradually faded away, turning into an endless universe dotted with stars. It was a magnificent sight, like a cleanser for his eyes, washing away the filth he saw every day.
But even so, he still couldn't move. He knew that he was kidnapped, but exhaustion overwhelmed everything. He was unable to struggle and simply accepted it all silently.
Then—the shouting suddenly started.
Rhino discovered it first. A shiny white cruiser emerged from the void...and another followed soon after. There is a black badge printed on the hull of the ship - an eye, quietly suspended above the outline of the atmosphere.
"Fuck!! It's Orbital Patrol!" Tiger roared.
Yuan caught a glimpse of Snake and Bull in the corner working frantically, quickly connecting some mysterious device to the elevator's configuration port.
The next second, the entire elevator suddenly jumped up, and the suddenly accelerated gravity pressed hard on Yuan's body, making him almost breathless. It feels like those high-speed extreme speed cars in amusement parks, only this time, you are going on the ride of your life.
Shui Ren suddenly looked at Yuan, who was slowly starting to feel control over his muscles again.
"Get ready to run, you should be able to now. Orbital bitches will try to intercept us at the station by the time we reach it. Snake and Tiger will cause a disruption and we will run with Bull and Rhino to our getaway vehicle"
Outside, Yuan saw one of the cruisers accelerating towards the elevator, firing out energy beams, while the other quickly passed by, preparing for a quick docking procedure at the next stop - where the elevator would soon have to dock. .
Yuan turned back to look at Shui Ren, cursing him secretly, but feeling inexplicably excited. This is a true adventure and there is no turning back. Even if he surrendered now, he would still be labeled a criminal because of his race, which is the injustice of the legal system.
Adrenaline surged wildly through his body, and he began to tighten his muscles, ready to run at any time.
The reverberating boom of the elevator hitting the emergency stop at the station indicated that the police had already entered the station or at least had taken over the station's vital systems.
"Hiss—" The elevator door slid open, and Yuan rushed out of his seat. At the same time, Shui Ren took out a hidden thermal weapon and opened fire. Rhino slammed into the thin recruit guards outside, knocking them directly into the airlock doors at both ends of the small platform.
The Tiger and Snake had begun to use martial arts on the remaining guards, who began to retreat when they saw that the situation was not good. The Snake took the opportunity to turn off the lighting system and trigger the fire alarm. The strong flash and piercing sound of the alarm made the guards instantly incapacitated. These people usually bully others, take bribes and bend the law, but now they are like helpless lambs, being completely suppressed by the true keepers of justice.
