Defense
The rickety metal door was almost deformed by the attack, and several uneven pits appeared on the door panel.
The bricks around the door were also falling off in pieces.
The strong man had already retreated half a body length and shouted, "Uncle Xiang, retreat!"
Uncle Xiang frowned and hesitated for two seconds: "Retreat!"
This middle-aged man obviously had considerable prestige. At his command, the men let go at the same time and retreated quickly.
"Second uncle, is there any way to retreat?" Xiang Chongyi stood in front of his second uncle and asked as he retreated.
Uncle Xiang pointed to the pile of cotton wool and straw mats in the room and said, "Don't step on it. It's a trap."
He nodded towards Chongyi: "Don't worry, we have a backup plan."
At ling shi they avoided the trap and retreated together.
The width of 30 cm is very narrow, almost like crossing a single-plank bridge.
Zuo Hao kept holding Ning Fu, fearing that he would fall.
Until they passed the single-plank bridge, completely bypassed the trap, and retreated to the small door opposite, the metal door blocking the corrupt people finally could not withstand the attack and collapsed with a bang.
Corrupt people rushed in one after another.
After about ten steps, he stepped straight onto the pile of cotton wool and straw mats.
Plop—plop—
Several corrupted people who were rushing side by side fell down almost at the same time.
Ling Shi took two steps forward and looked at the bottom of the trap.
It is five or six meters deep and has steel bar barbs placed in it.
Some of the corrupted people were stabbed in the chest and were unable to move. Some were stabbed in the arms and buttocks and were also firmly fixed, unable to struggle free.
The most unlucky one fell on the barb, but his head hit the ground and he was already dead.
But there were a lot of corrupt people. Although most of them were brainless and rushed into the trap one after another, there were a few who were squeezed out by the large group and pushed to the single-plank bridge on the side, and actually walked over staggeringly!
Uncle Xiang suddenly transformed into a high-octave soprano, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Quick! Run!"
After entering the small door, the first person to greet them was the little girl who was about ten years old.
The little girl had a ponytail and looked a little haggard, but her eyes were still bright.
"Uncle Xiang, are these the big brothers who came to rescue us?"
Before Ling Shi and Xiang Chongyi could reply, the burly man spat, "Why save them? They're more like a death wish!"
Uncle Xiang's face darkened: "Shi Liang!"
Shi Liang glanced at Ling Shi and the others fiercely and shut his mouth.
Ling Shi didn't stare at Shi Liang. His eyes fell on Lu Tingxiao and he didn't dare to leave.
Uncle Xiang can control Shi Liang, but no one here can control Lu Tingxiao.
If this ancestor gets serious, I'm afraid his lethality will be no less than that of a corrupt person.
The little girl didn't lose confidence because of Shi Liang's words. Instead, she called out to Chong Yi and the others, "Big brother, come this way!"
In front of me is a winding passage that can only accommodate one person.
The bald man led the way in front, and everyone followed in turn.
When they were halfway there, Shi Liang wanted to catch up, but Lu Tingxiao grabbed him by the collar and said, "You stay behind."
Shi Liang's face was full of anger. He grabbed Lu Tingxiao's hand and tried to pry him apart.
But no matter how hard he tried, the hand didn't move at all, holding him tightly.
In just a short while, the others had already run forward.
Ling Shi couldn't help but curl his lips. He grabbed the little girl who was left at the end, pushed her in front of him, and glanced at Lu Tingxiao: "Let's go."
After saying that, he ran forward with the little girl.
This ancestor is reliable and reassuring.
I kept running along the passage for about ten minutes, running left and right, and even up and down slopes.
But there was only one passage, and the roar of the corrupt man behind him was intermittent, but it never disappeared.
Xiang Chongyi's voice came from the front: "Hurry, we'll be there soon!"
Ling Shi turned the last corner and saw a telescopic fence gate in front of him.
There are many barbs hanging outside the metal fence gate.
This design is not very useful for real humans, but it is perfect for insane and stupid people.
Xiang Chongyi pulled the gate, ready to close it at any time: "Come in quickly."
Ling Shi walked up to her, protecting the little girl with his palms behind her back: "Come in quickly."
At this moment, there was a clang sound, and the little girl lowered her head and said, "Oh, my necklace."
She bent down to pick it up.
Behind him, Lu Tingxiao brushed past Ling Shi and walked into the door. He grabbed Ling Shi's arm and pulled him in.
Ling Shi turned his head: "Wait, there's another little girl!"
Shi Liang, who was forced to stay behind, had already turned the last corner and was only two steps away from entering the door.
But the next second, Ling Shi took a breath of cold air.
Following closely behind Shi Liang was a rotten man, who was skinny but had very long legs, and his speed was as fast as a human!
The corrupt man came very close, and with one hand he almost reached Shi Liang.
Ling Shi yelled at the girl: "Come in quickly!"
The girl also heard the corrupt man's voice. Her little face turned pale instantly. She held the necklace tightly in her hand and hurried inside.
But just as she squeezed half of her body in, she was grabbed by Shi Liang behind her and pushed towards the corrupt man with her backhand!
"Ah!" The little girl screamed. She had been caught by the corrupted people. Tears immediately fell from her eyes: "Help, save me!"
Ling Shi's blood rushed to his head, and he kicked out with all his strength, hitting Shi Liang's lower abdomen hard, knocking him to the ground in an instant.
Almost at the same time, he took a step forward, grabbed the girl's arm, and hit the corrupted man in the face with an elbow.
The corrupt man made a gurgling sound in his throat, but he held the little girl tightly in his hand and did not let go.
Ling Shi pulled out the dagger tied to his leg and stabbed it into the corrupt man's arm with force.
The corrupt man screamed and finally let go.
At this moment, Ling Shi heard Uncle Xiang yelling from behind him: "Shi Nan!"
Heather? What is that?
"Stop yelling!" Shi Liang shouted as he crawled towards the door, "He's no longer my brother! He's a corrupt person! He just wanted to eat me!"
Ling Shi understood immediately.
The corrupt man in front of him was once Shi Liang's younger brother.
However, at this moment, his eyeballs had turned completely white. A deep wound on his forehead had severed his left eyebrow.
The clothes on his body had lost their original color and were hanging in tattered strips, revealing his bluish-gray skin.
The only thing hanging on her wrist was a complete sandalwood bracelet. If you ignore the bloodstains on it, it is exactly the same as the one on Shi Liang's wrist.
When "Shi Nan" opened his mouth, the smell of blood and rot rushed into Ling Shi's nose, almost making him vomit.
He held his breath, threw the little girl into the door, and kicked the corrupt man in the chest, kicking him half a meter away. Then he turned around and slipped into the door.
Xiang Chongyi immediately pulled the door open, and the retractable metal fence door closed immediately.
He quickly locked both locks and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Uncle Xiang had already pulled the little girl and asked anxiously, "Xiaoru, are you hurt?"
Xiaoru's eyes widened, clearly still in shock. She didn't scream, though. After just two or three seconds, she began gasping for air, tears streaming down her face, and shaking her head with a pout.
Ling Shi breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that there was no problem.
At this moment, there was a "bang" sound next to him, followed by Shi Liang's scream: "What are you doing? What do you want to do?!"
Ling Shi turned around and saw that Lu Tingxiao had pinned him against the wall. There was blood on his forehead, flowing down the center of his nose.
"I told you to cover our retreat," Lu Tingxiao said, his face sullen and his eyes blazing with anger. "Is this how you cover our retreat?"
Shi Liang struggled desperately, but was held tightly, unable to move at all. "What else can I do? If she doesn't die, then I will die! I'm a strong laborer, and I have to rely on myself to fight the corrupt people! What can she do? She can only waste more food!"
Lu Tingxiao's voice dropped to a low, cold tone: "Oh, that sounds quite reasonable."
Shi Liang grabbed Lu Tingxiao's arm with his backhand, trying to make him let go: "That's right!"
Click.
Lu Tingxiao held Shi Liang's shoulder with one hand and grabbed his elbow with the other, twisting it hard and removing his entire arm.
"Ah--!" Shi Liang's face was distorted and he screamed in pain.
Lu Tingxiao let him go.
Shi Liang fell to the ground with a thud and rolled around in pain.
Ling Shi blinked but did not stop Lu Tingxiao.
This Shi Liang... looks very strong, but why is he like a weak girl? It's just a dislocation, but he screams as if his intestines were ripped open.
It looks good but is useless.
For once, he didn't dislike Lu Tingxiao's crazy behavior.
Ling Shi listened to Shi Liang's howling while looking around.
Enter from the entrance, pass through the winding corridor, and you will reach this small room.
It is less than ten square meters and more like an entrance hall.
Sure enough, Uncle Xiang called out to them, "Inside is where we've been hiding for the past half month. Let's go."
Ling Shi and the others followed Uncle Xiang out of another small door and finally reached the innermost part of the air-raid shelter.
At first glance, this place is about a thousand square meters, square and very spacious.
In every corner of the cave, there were groups of people sitting or standing, about a hundred in total. Beside them were piles of bedding for the night, some tools and food.
This was the largest group of people Ling Shi had seen since he came out of the research institute.
At this time, someone was already walking towards them.
The man who came was big and strong, over 1.9 meters tall, and he looked very oppressive.
"Uncle Xiang," the tall man stepped forward, his eyes sweeping over Ling Shi and his group without hesitation: "How is it? Are you here to rescue us?"
He saw Shi Liang sweating profusely behind him and frowned slightly: "What happened?"
Xiao Ru threw herself into his arms: "Brother Xuan, Shi Liang he, he..."
Uncle Xiang sighed: "Xiao Peng, take care of Xiao Ru and don't let her run around anymore. Just now, she almost..."
Peng Gaoxuan pointed at Shi Liang and asked, "Did you bully Xiaoru?"
Although Shi Liang was quite tall and strong, he looked like a tiny bird next to Peng Gaoxuan. Furthermore, his arm was dislocated and the pain was so severe that he couldn't even stand straight, making him look even shorter than Peng Gaoxuan.
Uncle Xiang stopped Peng Gaoxuan and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this for now."
He pulled Xiang Chongyi over and said, "This is my nephew. He and his friends came to rescue us."
Peng Gaoxuan looked at Xiang Chongyi with scrutiny: "How are you going to get us out?"
Before Xiang Chongyi could answer, he heard a sharp noise outside.
Peng Gaoxuan's expression changed. "Oh no! I knew that gate wouldn't last long."
Almost in response to what he said, low growls came one after another and gradually approached.
The corrupt broke through the gate and entered their last hiding place.
Peng Gaoxuan quickly turned around and shouted to the crowd behind him, "Xiaogang, Junzi, take your men and grab your weapons!"
He changed direction and pointed at a handsome young man running towards him from a distance: "Yi Yan, hide well!"
After saying that, he looked at Xiang Chongyi again: "Are you really here to save us? If so, please help us."
