At night, Zhao Yiming led his men straight to the cemetery halfway up the mountain.
Jingyu was watching here last night and had already determined the mechanism to enter the tomb.
"After the tombstone is opened, there are only two guards at the door and a long corridor behind it. As long as we move fast enough, we won't alarm the people inside." Jingyu pointed to the tomb passage where Mr. Hu came out last night.
Zhao Yiming looked at the tomb, analyzing it quickly in his mind. He turned to Jingyu and said, "Come in with me later and take down the guards inside first."
He then selected two more people from the team and said, "You stay at the door in case anyone slips through the net. The rest of you come in with me."
After quickly deploying, Zhao Yiming gave an order and everyone quickly came to the tomb and took their positions.
Just when everything was ready and Jingyu was about to press the mechanism to open the door, the tombstone actually opened.
Zhao Yiming reacted very quickly and immediately asked everyone to hide where they were.
The next second, a strong man with his upper body naked covered the mouth of a ragged woman and dragged her out of the secret passage.
Although the woman struggled desperately, it was of no avail. She could only let her tears wet her cheeks, her face full of despair.
The strong man seemed to be in a good mood. He cursed at the woman and whistled at the same time.
Suddenly, it seemed that the woman's nails scratched his arm while she was struggling. He immediately became angry and threw the woman onto a nearby grave.
"You ungrateful bitch." He cursed and slapped the woman's face twice, making her dizzy.
Seeing that the woman was unable to move and looked like she was at the mercy of others, he impatiently spat on his hands, rubbed them twice in an obscene manner, and began to untie his belt, completely unaware of Zhao Yiming and others hiding in the dark.
I don’t know whether to say he was bold or what, but when he came out he didn’t even close the entrance to the secret passage.
And I don’t know if he said hello or something, but the guard guarding the door disappeared during the rain. It was really God’s help for them.
After making a gesture to the two people who stayed behind and asking them to wait a while to rescue the woman, Zhao Yiming led his men into the secret passage.
As soon as they entered the secret passage, everyone felt hot instantly. No wonder those people were shirtless in the early winter weather.
After carefully passing through the corridor, Zhao Yiming and others heard the sound of conversation coming from the corner.
"It's still good to be a captain! I can get a taste of women once in a while, unlike us gatekeepers, who can only see but not touch. It's so fucking uncomfortable."
"That's right. You've come to a place like this where you can't even go to a brothel. You'll suffocate to death sooner or later."
It was obvious that the two people talking were the ones who were supposed to be guarding the door.
Zhao Yiming waved his hand and the two secret guards attacked quickly. Before they could react, they were captured.
Zhao Yiming wiped the neck of one of them without saying a word, then looked at the remaining one and said in a tone without any emotion: "Can you cooperate with us?"
They were just ordinary guards, so naturally they couldn't be as determined as the death soldiers who would commit suicide by taking poison after failing in their mission. Seeing their companion die, they were afraid that they would follow in his footsteps, so they nodded hurriedly.
"Very good. Now tell me, are there any other exits here? Where is the warehouse? Where is the database? Where are the hostages being held? Who is in charge?"
The guard was extremely scared to death. Although he spoke hesitantly due to the shock, it did not affect his ability to explain everything in the secret passage clearly.
After having a general understanding of the situation inside, Zhao Yiming asked a secret guard to escort him and lead the way.
In order to prevent him from doing anything bad, the secret guards put the knife against his lower back. If he showed any intention of resisting or calling for help, he would be able to cut his kidney immediately.
The temperature in the tunnel was high and the guards were all shirtless, so there was no barrier between the tip of the knife and his flesh.
Feeling the cold and hard force on his lower back, the guard not only stopped resisting, but even walked with extreme caution, fearing that the tip of the knife would cut his flesh if he wasn't careful.
The secret guard who kidnapped him had never seen such a fearful guard before. He thrust the tip of his knife forward and urged him, "Hurry up! Are you trying to delay us?"
The guard was startled and quickly covered his mouth to prevent himself from screaming.
The secret guards following behind him were speechless. What kind of weird creatures did King Wenxuan raise?
However, the guard's fear of death actually made things convenient for them. With his guidance, they were able to move freely in the secret passage and quickly succeeded in controlling several leading team leaders and all the guards.
Now all that's missing is the captain Zhao Yiming and Jingyu saw before, whom Mr. Hu called Captain Guo, who can defeat them all.
However, they searched almost the entire underground weapons forge and found no trace of Captain Guo.
"Tell me, where is the guy surnamed Guo?" Jingyu stepped on the shoulder of one of the team leaders surnamed Wang and crushed him to the ground.
The one who could become the captain was indeed not comparable to that little security guard. Even though Captain Wang's face turned pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead due to the pain from being stepped on by Jing Yu, he did not give in.
Seeing this, Jingyu put five more points of strength on his feet. Everyone heard a "click" sound, and Captain Wang's shoulder blade was deeply broken.
"Uh—ah—"
I have to say that he does have some backbone. Even in this situation, he just gritted his teeth and groaned, refusing to speak a word.
Seeing this, Jingyu did not force it and turned to ask the other team leaders. After seeing the miserable condition of Captain Wang, the others were not as stubborn as him. However, they all said that they were busy escaping and did not see Captain Guo.
Zhao Yiming frowned as he looked at the people kneeling on the ground, including the indigenous villagers who were being used as laborers. "If anyone has seen Guo and can provide useful information, I will give him a lighter sentence."
For a moment, the crowd was silent. The controlled guards squatted on the ground in fear, burying their heads in their knees, for fear of being noticed by Zhao Yiming and others.
The indigenous villagers who were originally enslaved huddled together, looking at Zhao Yiming and the others warily, not daring to speak.
At this moment, footsteps were suddenly heard outside. Soon, a pale, thin, and dusty woman ran in crying, covering her face.
When he saw the scene inside, he was so scared that he stood there in a daze.
An old man who was squatting on the ground saw this and immediately pushed aside the young men who were protecting them, and hurriedly pulled her over and protected her behind him.
After the two of them squatted back down, the men immediately squatted in front of them again, protecting them inside.
Only then did Zhao Yiming notice that this group of people included men, women, young and old. The oldest and youngest were at the innermost, followed by the young women, and the young and middle-aged men were at the outermost.
