The violent explosion at the orphanage shattered a lot of glass within a 1-kilometer radius.

From a hundred meters away, Phoenix looked back a few times.

Thick smoke enveloped the entire orphanage, obscuring the small hill behind it...

Thanks to Seven Knives' reminder, Phoenix was able to lead the team to evacuate in time.

My worries from yesterday have come true; the Epiphyllum has used its lair as bait and dug a huge pit long ago.

The suggestion to send a small team in to scout ahead was made by Mo Huan.

This method undoubtedly saved the lives of Phoenix and the more than one hundred Dark Dragon assassins around her.

Unfortunately, the fate of the Seven Blades and their group who were the first to sneak into the courtyard is unknown.

Regardless, the Dark Dragons lost their first direct confrontation with the Ephemeral Flower Society.

This time, there will be no credit for our efforts. The top priority is to summarize our experiences and lessons learned and formulate a new plan to eradicate the Ephemeral Flower Society.

......

Thinking of this, Phoenix quickened her pace to leave.

Dark Dragon was her life's work; of the 20 groups that came together, only 19 remained. It would be a lie to say she wasn't heartbroken.

Since we are going to retreat, we should choose the safest route to avoid falling into the enemy's trap again.

"Dark Dragon teams, listen up! Follow the original plan and disperse from Linglong Street and Shaman Road in two directions, each team."

Phoenix pressed the internal public channel of the military communicator.

"Second team received!"

"Group Four received!"

"Group three received!"

......

All groups responded, except for the group with the seven knives.

Phoenix felt a pang of heartache, a surge of resentment and self-reproach welling up within her.

"The Ephemeral Flower Society, just you wait, I won't let you get away with this!"

The remaining 19 groups of Dark Dragon dispersed and retreated in two directions: due north and northeast.

The orphanage is located in a remote area, and apart from some abandoned factory buildings, there are basically no other people living around it.

In two or three minutes, they will be able to safely retreat into Ling Long Street and Sha Man Road, and then disperse and evacuate...

At this moment, Phoenix was followed only by the people from Group Two.

As the leader of the Dark Dragons, she habitually stayed behind.

Just then, the roar of an airplane overhead caught her attention.

She looked up at the sky.

Two silver-gray airplanes appeared in the gloomy sky at some unknown time.

After emerging from the clouds, the plane reduced its speed and descended steadily.

To the naked eye, it's only three or four thousand meters above the ground...

"Oh no, those are American bombers!"

Before Phoenix finished speaking, each of the planes in mid-air emitted a plume of black dots from its belly.

The whistling sound of the falling bombs was painfully loud.

Phoenix was terrified and immediately pressed the communicator:

"Enemy bombers are attacking! All teams, find cover on the spot, quick!"

After saying that, she leaped up and ran towards the nearest manhole cover.

He forcefully ripped open the manhole cover and shouted:

"Get inside!"

The members of the second group behind them jumped into the well one after another without hesitation.

A pungent, foul stench wafted over.

Nobody cared about the details; saving their lives was the priority.

Although the Dark Dragon can become invisible, it is still dangerous to face indiscriminate bombing.

The area where they were operating was probably already locked down.

The trap had been dug long ago, just waiting for them to fall in...

Phoenix was the last to jump into the sewer.

Actually, this stinking ditch isn't deep, only about a meter tall. Standing at the wet bottom of the ditch, you can easily close the manhole cover by raising your hand.

As soon as the phoenix's feet touched the ground, the two members of the second group worked together to close the cast iron manhole cover.

"Quick, this way!"

Phoenix suppressed her anxiety and gave the command.

A group of people lifted their legs and jogged deeper into the area.

"Boom! Boom!"

"Boom! Boom!"

"Boom!"

......

I hadn't run more than a few steps when a violent explosion came from the ground above me, and the earth shook as if I had encountered a magnitude 5 or 6 earthquake.

The violent tremors made everyone walking in the sewer lose their footing.

Amid the explosion, they clearly felt the intense heat of the flames emanating from the ground.

Even through a layer of concrete nearly a meter thick, there was still a burning sensation. One can only imagine what would happen if one stood at the epicenter of the explosion on the ground.

"Damn it, those American devils actually used napalm!"

Yan Shi, the leader of the second group, cursed angrily.

Yan Shi has a nickname in the assassin world: "Rock". He is cautious and meticulous in his work and has never failed in his assassination missions.

If even he couldn't help but curse, it shows how suffocating it was to hide in a stinking ditch to avoid the bombing.

The continuous bombardment overhead nearly deafened the people in the ditch.

Helpless, everyone could only stay where they were and silently wait for the bombing to end.

......

....................................

Large quantities of aerial bombs and napalm were rained down as if they were free.

Centered on the orphanage, an area within a one-kilometer radius was transformed into a hellish inferno...

One minute.

Two YB-35 bombers dropped a total of 45 tons of aerial bombs and napalm bombs on an area of ​​one square kilometer below.

The powerful blast wave was like a hurricane sweeping across the ground.

Hundreds of houses collapsed instantly, and the fiery heat wave burned the trees and weeds on the ground to ashes.

No living organism could survive in such a surface environment.
