The two of them ran for a bit and hid in a corner. Along the way, Lu Jia’er had been keeping an eye out for surveillance cameras. She saw the red lights begin to blink again. The interference must have stopped. So, Lu Jia’er had to rely on her abilities and look into the cameras to wipe away the video.
Yet, she knew very well that every time she wiped away the videos, she would have exposed her location.
Lu Jia’er made a decisionquickly. “Ace, you go left and I will go right!”
Jin Xiangdong looked at her. “We stay together!”
But Lu Jia’er was sober-minded. “We cannot stay together now. Let me distract them!”
“Jia’er!” Jin Xiangdong would not let her go.
“Don’t worry. I can handle them!” Lu Jia’er was confident.
Jin Xiangdong shook his head. “Jia’er, I won’t allow you to leave me, not even for half a step again!”
Lu Jia’er burst into laughter upon hearing his declaration. “When we get out, I promise you that I won’t leave you, not even half a step! But for now, we’d better split up!”
Jin Xiangdong saw how determined Lu Jia’er was. He knew that this was the wisest solution, but at the same time, this was a solution he was most worried about. He wouldn’t agree because he would hate to see anything happen to her.
“We stay together!” Jin Xiangdong did not yield to her.
“Ace!” Lu Jia’er stared at him.
“We do it my way!” Jin Xiangdong grabbed her hand tightly.
Lu Jia’er could tell how persistent he was from his eyes, as well as worried. She could not refuse any more. “Okay, we do it your way!” She accepted his proposal.
Then, the two of them forged ahead together. Lu Jia’er turned off several cameras. Soon, the armed security guards came to them, which was of no surprise.
Lu Jia’er checked their firearms. They were stun guns. For this research center, Lu Jia’er and Jin Xiangdong must be of value, so no real bullets were going to be used on them.
In the rectangular corridor, two unarmed people were faced with over 10 people with weapons. It was as if Lu Jia’er and Jin Xiangping were going to allow themselves to be captured without putting up a fight. But the two looked at each other and their minds were in sync.
Lu Jia’er was the first to move. She s.n.a.t.c.hed the stun gun from a security guard in the speed of lightning and awarded him with a nice roundhouse kick.
Well, in this case, Lu Jia’er was glad that she was an advanced AI on account of the many advantages compared to a normal human being.
After her system was upgraded, her abilities developed holistically. Her excellence was not long confined only to psychology, but expanded into a strong ability to learn other subjects and pick up other skills.
Therefore, when they were in China, Jin Xiangdong asked her to watch videos on many types of combat fights, firearms and weapons. Now, this knowledge could be put into use and she could test it.
Nothing was impossible for the courageous. That is what people say. Lu Jia’er made swift moves and Jin Xiangdong cooperated with her very well. They dodged attacks coming at them while launching counterstrikes. Now and then, she would throw in a nice, roundhouse kick.
At this moment, Lu Jia’er was like a martial arts expert with vigor and strength. She defeated the group of security guards with speed, accuracy, and resolution.
It was her first real-life battle. Her moves were like floating clouds and flowing water, natural and smooth. She was just like a martial art master in movies.
In the long corridor, there were sounds of guns firing and people screaming and b.u.mping into each other.
Lu Jia’er’s clean, white coat was stained with blood. But it was not hers. She was perfectly safe. When Jin Xiangdong checked his hand holding a gun, he noticed a bruise on the back of his hand.
Jin Xiangdong could think of only one word to describe Lu Jia’er’s performance in this fight, and that word was perfect!
