The Legend of Cinderella's Counterattack

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Gunshots rang out behind us, bullets hitting the metal wall, sparks flying everywhere. Yuxuan and I ran frantically through the narrow passage, my heart beating wildly in my chest, almost jumping out of my throat.

"Damn it, they're chasing us relentlessly!" Yuxuan gritted his teeth and pulled me into a fork in the road.

We just escaped from Grandpa Lin’s laboratory. Those people from “Black Fire” got the gun from somewhere. If Officer Li hadn’t arrived in time, Yuxuan and I would probably have died there.

Grandpa Lin’s laboratory was actually converted from an abandoned air-raid shelter. It was connected in all directions, and we panicked and soon lost our way.

"We have to get rid of them!" I gasped, "If we keep going like this, we'll be caught sooner or later!"

"I know, but we are not familiar with this place..." Before Yuxuan finished speaking, a chaotic sound of footsteps came from behind him.

"They are catching up, let's go!" I pulled Yuxuan up and ran forward with all my might.

We ran through dark and damp passages, our own rapid breathing and the sound of footsteps approaching behind us echoing in our ears. Finally, a ray of light appeared in front of us. As if we saw hope, we rushed out with our last bit of strength.

The glare blinded us briefly, and once we adjusted to the light, we realized we had arrived at an abandoned factory. Rusty machines and piles of debris filled the air, leaving us with a lingering, unpleasant smell.

"Cough cough..." I couldn't help coughing a few times and looked around for a place to hide.

"Hurry, let's go over there!" Yuxuan pointed to a pile of containers not far away and pulled me in to hide.

We had just hidden ourselves when we heard the sound of the factory gate being pushed open, followed by a burst of hurried footsteps.

"They're coming in!" I nervously grabbed Yuxuan's hand, not daring to breathe.

"Don't be afraid, let's be careful." Yuxuan whispered to comfort me, observing the movements around him vigilantly.

Through the gaps in the container, I saw the "Black Fire" people searching everywhere in the factory. They were holding guns in their hands and had fierce expressions. It was obvious that they were not good people.

Yuxuan and I hid in the container for a long time, until the noise outside gradually disappeared, and then we dared to carefully stick our heads out.

"Looks like they've left for now." I breathed a sigh of relief, but my heart was still in turmoil. "What should we do now?"

"Let's leave here first." Yuxuan said, and pulled me out of the container.

We crouched down as we made our way through the abandoned factory. The air was thick with the smell of engine oil and dust, and the metal floor beneath our feet creaked with a teeth-grinding sound. My heart was in my throat, fearing that someone from the Black Fire would suddenly appear.

"This way!" Yuxuan pulled me to hide behind a huge machine tool. The machine tool looked very old, but still maintained its cold metal texture.

"We can't just sit there and wait for death." I lowered my voice and said, "The people from Black Flame will definitely come back. We have to find a way to get rid of them."

Yuxuan looked around and his eyes fell on a pile of steel pipes not far away. "Maybe we can use these things."

Together we moved the steel pipes to the machine tool and connected them with chains to create a simple defensive structure. After all this, we were exhausted and panting, but I felt a little more at ease. At least now we had some ability to protect ourselves.

"We need to find out why the Blackfire people are hunting us." I said, wiping the sweat from my forehead. "Also, how did they know the location of Grandpa Lin's laboratory?"

Yuxuan pondered for a moment and said, "The secret of the 'Heavenly Clothes' craftsmanship must have been leaked. The 'Black Fire' is targeting it."

My heart moved, and I remembered the information I had seen in Grandpa Lin's laboratory before. Could it be that the goal of "Black Fire" was to use the "Heavenly Clothes" technology to create some kind of dangerous weapon? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a chill.

"We have to stop them!" I clenched my fists and said firmly.

"But what should we do now?" Yuxuan looked at me with worry in his eyes.

"Let's find a way out of here first," I said. "We can't hide here forever."

We cautiously walked out of the factory and came to an open field. At this moment, I suddenly noticed a strange mark on the ground, as if it had been crushed by some large machine.

"Look!" I pointed at the mark and said to Yuxuan, "What is this?"

Yuxuan looked in the direction of my finger, his expression suddenly becoming serious, "This... looks like the traces of tank tracks."

Traces of tank tracks? I was shocked. Could this have been a military base?

We followed the tracks all the way and finally arrived in front of a huge warehouse. The door of the warehouse was closed and there was nothing unusual to see from the outside.

"Let's go in and take a look." Yuxuan said, and walked to the door of the warehouse and pushed it hard, but the door did not move.

"It seems we have to find another way," I said.

Yuxuan looked around and found a small door next to the warehouse. He walked over and tried it, but found that the door was not locked.

"Let's go in." He gestured to me, then gently pushed the door open and walked in.

I followed closely behind. The warehouse was pitch black and the air was filled with a pungent smell of chemicals.

Yuxuan pulled his phone out of his pocket and turned on the flashlight. The faint light illuminated a corner of the warehouse. I saw that the warehouse was filled with various chemical raw materials and experimental equipment, and there were many people in white coats busy at work, seemingly conducting some kind of experiment.

"Where...where is this place?" I asked in surprise.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a secret base of Black Fire." Yu Xuan said in a low voice, "Those people should be members of Black Fire."

My heart sank. It seemed we had accidentally entered a very dangerous place.

We held our breath and carefully walked through the warehouse in the dim light. The air was filled with a pungent smell of chemicals, which made me cough a few times.

"Shh, keep your voice down!" Yuxuan reminded me in a low voice, his eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

The warehouse was filled with all sorts of strange instruments and equipment, some of which I had never even seen before. In one corner, I saw rows of petri dishes filled with unidentified liquids. Strange objects were floating in the liquids, making me feel nauseous.

"They are conducting human experiments!" Yuxuan's voice suddenly became low, and his eyes were full of anger.

I followed his gaze and saw a skinny man imprisoned in a huge glass container. He had all kinds of tubes inserted into his body and looked like he was dying.

My heart sank, and a chill ran from my feet to my head. These Black Fire people were truly insane!

"We have to find a way to tell the police what happened here!" I clenched my fists and said in a low voice.

"But we have no evidence..." Yuxuan was interrupted by a sudden sound of footsteps before he could finish his words.

"Someone is coming! Hide quickly!" Yuxuan pulled me and hid behind a pile of boxes.

Through the gap between the boxes, I saw a tall man in a black windbreaker walk in. He was followed by several men in black, all holding guns.

"How is it? How is the experiment going?" the man asked in a low voice.

"Report to the boss, the genetic modification experiment of 'Tian Yi' has made a breakthrough..." A man in a white coat came forward to report, with a hint of morbid excitement on his face.

"Very good! Keep speeding up the progress! I want to see the results as soon as possible!" The man nodded with satisfaction, then turned and left the warehouse.

Only after they walked away did Yuxuan and I come out from behind the box.

"We have to get out of here!" I said with lingering fear, "It's too dangerous here!"

"Wait!" Yuxuan suddenly called me. He walked to a workbench, picked up a document and looked through it. "These documents may contain the evidence we need!"

I walked over and took a look, and found that the documents contained information about the "Tianyi" genetic modification experiment, which was shocking!

"This evidence is enough to bring Blackfire to justice!" I said excitedly, "Let's take them away quickly!"

Yuxuan nodded, stuffed the documents into his backpack, and then pulled me out of the warehouse.

However, just as we were about to reach the door, the door of the warehouse was suddenly opened from the outside!

"Who are you?" The man in the black windbreaker appeared at the door, his eyes coldly scanning us, holding a black pistol in his hand.

"Oh no, we've been discovered!" My heart suddenly rose to my throat and cold sweat instantly soaked my back.

The man approached us step by step, a cruel sneer on his lips, "Put down what you have in your hands, and I will consider giving you a quick death!"

"Put it down? You're dreaming!" I stiffened my neck, holding the backpack tightly behind me, and glared at the ferocious man in front of me.

Yuxuan stood in front of me, blocking the man's gaze. His tone was calm but undeniably firm: "We have sufficient evidence of your evil deeds, Blackfire. Wait for the punishment of the law!"

The man laughed heartily, his laughter filled with disdain and ridicule. "Just you? You think you can go against Blackfire? You're really overestimating yourself!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the men in black behind him raised their guns in unison, pointing the black muzzles at us, and the air was suddenly filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

My heart was pounding and my palms were cold, but when I thought of the innocent lives killed by the "Black Fire", my heart was filled with anger and courage.

"Yuxuan, pass the documents to Officer Li!" I lowered my voice and said hurriedly, "We must not let this evidence fall into their hands!"

Yuxuan nodded and quickly took out his phone from his pocket. However, before he could unlock the screen, the man discovered his intention.

"Want to play tricks? Stop them!"

At the man's command, the men in black immediately swarmed forward. Yuxuan and I were surrounded and had no way to retreat.

"Let's fight!" Yuxuan put the phone back into his pocket, picked up an iron rod next to him, and started wrestling with the man in black who rushed over.

I didn't just sit there and wait for death. I picked up a stone from the ground and smashed it hard at a man in black who was trying to approach me.

For a moment, the warehouse was in chaos, with shouting, fighting, and gunshots intertwined together, deafening.

Although I have never learned martial arts, my instinct for survival allowed me to burst out with amazing strength. I dodged left and right, flexibly avoiding the attacks of the men in black, and seized every opportunity to counterattack.

However, two fists are no match for four hands, and I gradually became exhausted. Just when I was about to collapse, the door of the warehouse was suddenly knocked open from the outside, and the dazzling sunlight shone in from outside, making it impossible to open my eyes.

"Police! Don't move!"

Officer Li appeared at the door with a large group of police officers. They were armed with guns and had serious expressions. Their powerful aura instantly shocked everyone present.
