Chapter 002 Is This Okay?! It’S Not Scientific!
"Tony, are you okay?! They've discovered something's wrong!" Dr. Ethan asked anxiously.
Soon, Tony Stark responded, "It's done! Ethan, help me put on the steel armor!"
Without hesitation, Ethan stepped forward to assist him.
Wearing the steel armor was just the first step; without the power supply, it wouldn't be effective.
"It will take five minutes for the suit to complete its power-up. We have to hurry!" Dr. Ethan said, glancing outside the door, always wary of any terrorists trying to break in.
Nervousness made his body tremble.
Although Tony Stark was equally anxious, he tried to reassure Ethan: "Don't worry; we rigged a bomb outside the door. If they force their way in, they'll set it off. That should buy us some time."
Then he suddenly recalled something.
"Didn't you trigger the bomb mechanism when you came in, Luo Bai?" Tony asked doubtfully.
Luo Bai fell silent.
After all, he hadn't entered through the main entrance, so he hadn't triggered anything.
But before he could explain, a loud "boom" shattered the tranquility of the cave.
The terrorists had broken down the door!
The good news was that the terrorist who had entered was quickly eliminated.
The bad news was that this would inevitably alert the others, and they were running out of time.
"Tony, please stop asking these unimportant questions right now! We need to buy more time for the armor to activate!" Dr. Ethan complained anxiously.
Before Tony could respond, Dr. Ethan continued, "Luo Bai, can you help us?!"
"What do you need me to do?" Luo Bai asked, a bad feeling welling up inside him.
Sure enough, the next second, he heard Ethan calling for help: "Can you delay them for a bit? We need your help!"
Luo Bai was stunned.
What the heck?!
You want me, a college student, to hold off those terrorists with machine guns outside?!
To be honest, Luo Bai felt he might not be able to hold them off.
But if the armor couldn't be activated, death awaited him.
Thinking of this, he reluctantly agreed, "Okay... what do you need me to do?!"
"Let's go out and fight those terrorists!" Dr. Ethan said, determination in his eyes as if he was ready to join the fray.
Compared to his determination, Luo Bai felt much weaker.
"Then... let's go..." Luo Bai replied weakly, and the two of them stepped out together.
As Luo Bai stepped outside, he saw that the door had been blown off, with some bodies lying on the ground, missing limbs.
If he hadn't been mentally strong, he would have been sick.
Dr. Ethan seemed to have grown accustomed to the horrors of the cave.
He calmly walked forward, picked up a usable gun from a body, and handed it to Luo Bai.
"Here, this should come in handy! Also, protect yourself," Ethan reminded kindly.
Luo Bai said nothing.
Though he pretended to be calm on the outside, he was panicking inside.
Looking at the gun in his hand, he couldn't help but think, "No, how on earth do you use this thing? I know a little about guns, but I've never actually fired one!"
But before he could study it, the terrorists had already entered.
Hearing footsteps and shouts nearby, Dr. Ethan clenched his fists, ready to charge out. While rushing, he said to Luo Bai, "They're coming! I'll take them down! You cover me!"
Luo Bai quickly stopped him. "Don't go out yet!"
Dr. Ethan stopped, anxiety etched on his face. "If we don't go out now, we'll be dead when they come in!"
Luo Bai quickly explained, "The entrance to the cave is small, making it easy to defend but hard to attack. We should stay here and wait for them."
Although Ethan looked brave, he was a scientist and had never experienced a scene like this before his capture.
Like Luo Bai, he had never used a gun, let alone faced a situation like this.
They both pretended to be calm, but deep down, they were quite panicked.
Perhaps convinced by Luo Bai's reasoning and his apparent experience, Ethan and Luo Bai took positions by the door.
After a while, they saw three or four terrorists armed with machine guns running toward them.
The cave was so narrow that there was almost no place to hide. Luo Bai knew that if the terrorists spotted them and opened fire first, they would be in serious trouble.
So when Luo Bai saw the terrorists, he immediately shouted, "Shoot!"
Without waiting for Ethan to react, he fired at the front.
To be honest, before this moment, Luo Bai never thought he could hit anyone with a gun.
After all, this was his first time using one, and he wasn't even good at aiming.
Plus, it was dark in the cave, making it even harder to hit the target.
But what he never expected was that after firing a few shots, several screams rang out in the cave. All the terrorists fell to the ground, silent.
In an instant, Luo Bai was stunned.
Did he actually hit them?!
Just as he was pondering this, Ethan shouted excitedly, "What marksmanship! You took them all down before I even reacted?! Your aim is incredible; you must have had professional training, right?!"
Luo Bai didn't respond but silently thought, "Actually, this is my first time using a gun."
To be honest, even he found it strange.
After all, this was his first time firing a weapon, and he managed to hit four targets in a row under such difficult conditions.
Who would believe this unless they were a professional?
Even Luo Bai felt a little puzzled at this moment and couldn't help but think: Could it be that I'm gifted at shooting?!
But he didn't have much time to think, as the second group of terrorists entered the cave.
Though he didn't know how many were coming this time, the heavy footsteps indicated that there were definitely more than before.
This made Luo Bai panic.
No matter how talented he was, this was still his first time using a gun. Facing so many terrorists... could he really survive?!
"How long until the suit starts up?!" Luo Bai asked, desperate for Tony Stark to rescue him.
"It'll probably take another minute!" Ethan replied.
One minute?!
By the time it was ready, he'd be done for!
For the first time, Luo Bai felt that one minute was an eternity.
Relying on Tony Stark seemed impossible. For now, he had to rely on himself.
"There's no other choice. We'll have to fight. When you see someone, shoot, but don't hesitate!" Luo Bai warned.
He held his breath, gripping the gun tightly.
As the footsteps grew closer, his grip on the weapon tightened.
At that moment, he was so nervous he didn't dare to breathe, staring ahead to avoid missing anything.
When he finally saw the terrorists in his sights, Luo Bai immediately opened fire without a word.
At the same time, the terrorists spotted Luo Bai and began shooting back.
Dududududududududu—
The sound of gunfire echoed in the cave as bullets flew chaotically.
In fact, Luo Bai didn't think he stood a chance.
He even felt that as a time traveler, he might be off to a rough start.
So, during the shootout, he kept his eyes closed almost the entire time.
It wasn't until he fired his last bullet that he finally stopped.
But at that moment, he unexpectedly realized he was still alive?!
Luo Bai opened his eyes in surprise.
If he hadn't opened them, he wouldn't have been prepared for what he saw.
Not far away, a number of terrorists lay in disarray, appearing to have run out of energy.
Could it be that he had killed all these terrorists?!
He couldn't help but turn to Dr. Ethan for confirmation, but the expression on Ethan's face was even more astonished than his own.
After sizing him up for a long moment, Dr. Ethan asked, "So many people shot at you, and you weren't... injured at all?!"
Injured?!
Luo Bai checked himself carefully, and after a moment, he replied, "No."
Dr. Ethan: "..."
"Six!"
Dr. Ethan had witnessed the chaotic gunfight just now.
Seven or eight terrorists had engaged Luo Bai in a fierce battle!
In the end, they were all dead, and Luo Bai hadn't even gotten a scratch?!
Dr. Ethan himself had been shot twice in the arm and leg. How was Luo Bai fine??
This was unscientific!!
