"Captain, there seems to be a figure walking through the passage you just passed. It was moving too fast to see clearly. Captain, please be careful over there!"
The security captain's earpiece crackled with alert. His colleagues in the monitoring room noticed something amiss. The captain glanced back warily a few times, and after confirming no one was around, whispered into the microphone:
"Keep a close eye on things for me. What's the status of the others?"
"They went into hiding according to the combat plan they had practiced before, and so far no one has been injured or captured."
"Tell everyone to be careful and hold on. If I succeed, we'll get through this invasion."
The captain looked resolutely at Shen Qingshan in the distance. He needed to find a way to kill him in as little time as possible, because they had already alerted him. Every extra minute increased the risk to the security team members.
"But who exactly is following me?" The captain was afraid that if he attacked Shen Qingshan, he would expose himself as being attacked from both sides, so he decided to deal with the mysterious person following him before dealing with Shen Qingshan!
So he didn't continue forward, but instead found a corner to lie in wait for the mysterious person to appear.
Not long after, a tall man flashed by at great speed. However, the captain was no pushover. He clenched his fist and charged forward, hooking his hand to attack the man's temple!
Xu Neng tilted his head to the side, dodging the fatal blow. Unfortunately, before he could regain his footing, a second attack came straight for his abdomen. A cold glint flashed in Xu Neng's eyes.
"Oh no, he has a knife!"
Xu Neng almost instinctively jumped into the air to dodge, but was still cut on the side by the knife tip. A sharp pain came, and his polar suit had another cut, which was oozing blood.
Fortunately, I dodged in time; otherwise, the force of that cut would not have been just a simple gash, but would have directly damaged my internal organs.
Xu Neng narrowed his eyes. Every move the other party made was a killing move, and his movements were extremely agile, making him truly difficult to deal with. He must be the leader of the security team.
Before the opponent could launch a third attack, Xu Neng made his move. He took a long stride and closed in on the man in half a second. He grabbed the man's forearm holding the knife with his left hand and, in the blink of an eye, folded the forearm to a twisted angle.
Before the security captain could retaliate, Xu Neng twisted his right hand, which was holding the knife, tightly, causing the knife to fall from his hand due to the pain. Not to be outdone, he threw a punch with his left hand.
However, because Xu Neng was too close, the captain's punch was easily deflected by Xu Neng before he could even gather his strength.
Xu Neng's childhood training in Wing Chun was not in vain; his greatest strength lay in close-quarters combat. His counterattacks quickly gained the upper hand, and he almost captured his opponent.
Xu Neng was unwilling to kill him directly, otherwise he wouldn't have fought for so long. He needed a powerful helper in the "Frost Society", and the man in front of him was both brave and resourceful, making him the perfect candidate.
The security captain had already assessed the situation with these moves. He knew he was no match for the mob leader and could not continue fighting, lest he miss the crucial task of killing the mob leader.
Left with no other choice, he resorted to his last resort, drawing another knife from his waist and stabbing at Xu Neng.
Xu Neng had no choice but to dodge, and the distance between the two widened once again. At this moment, Xiao Gao also caught up and was pulled back by Xu Neng.
Xu Neng should be the "oriole," not the "mantis," and not the "cicada." He realized that the man was after Shen Qingshan.
As expected, the security captain seized the opportunity and stopped fighting. Instead, he rushed towards Shen Qingshan. He couldn't care less about anything else now; he wanted to kill the enemy leader in a short time and turn the tide.
Within the protective circle of five, he successfully found the weakest one, and through this opening, he leaped to Shen Qingshan's side, about to stab the man in the chest...
Shen Qingshan, having followed Hu Tianhao for so many years, wasn't intimidated by the sudden attack. He pulled over one of his underlings to take the blow.
The knife slashed, drawing blood, and the young man quickly collapsed to the ground. Shen Qingshan then grabbed another person and used them as a shield...
At the critical moment, Xu Neng suddenly struck, using the same method he used to kill Cui Laoliu at the air-raid shelter entrance, severing the captain's wrist tendons with a flying blade.
The captain felt a sharp pain in his wrist, and the knife fell to the ground. He was quickly subdued by the four men, and he knelt on the ground with his hands tied behind his back.
Shen Qingshan laughed wildly: "Hahahaha...hahahaha..." and kicked the captain in the chest.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Xu Neng whispered to the captain:
"Join us, and you can save your life..."
Before Xu Neng could finish speaking, Shen Qingshan bent down and walked over, plunging a knife into the man's heart...
“Commander Xu, we shouldn’t recruit this kind of person. We should use him as an example to scare the others. Don’t you agree?” Shen Qingshan said with a strange smile on his face.
Xu Neng clenched his fists, suppressing his anger, and said with a cold smile:
"Is Commander Shen wary of his abilities? Why is he so eager to kill him? This goes against the leader's love for talent. How will you explain this?"
Shen Qingshan said with a forced smile:
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, Brother Xu. I didn't know you valued him so much. If you had told me earlier next time, I would have given you some consideration."
Xu Neng didn't want to deal with him any longer, so he left with Xiao Gao. They had important things to do, and Chu Xiang didn't know where he was hiding in this huge residential area.
He was going to take Chu Xiang back and torture him properly; he couldn't let him die so easily!
Unfortunately, things often don't go as planned, and it was Shen Qingshan who was the first to find Chu Xiang.
After Shen Qingshan led his team to wipe out the rest of the security team, they began searching the entire neighborhood, looting supplies and arresting people from house to house, and soon arrived at the third floor.
The fierce battle that just took place in the neighborhood was carried out silently. The residents were unaware that a major battle was brewing in the silence. Some were fast asleep, some were worrying about tomorrow, and some, like Chu Xiang, were enjoying themselves in bed...
Chu Xiang was furious when he was interrupted: "It's so cold, and in the middle of the night, who could be outside the door?"
The loud knocking reminded him of past times when loan sharks would harass him for money. Still shaken, he got out of bed, put on his thickest down jacket, and crept closer to the door.
Looking through the peephole, he saw many people in polar suits standing outside the door. He remembered the group of people he had encountered when he was shopping at the supermarket. They were so well-equipped, could they be from the same organization?
Chu Xiang knew there was no way to avoid it, so he simply opened the door respectfully and said politely:
"Gentlemen, you have graced my humble abode with your presence in such cold weather. Please come in and have a seat!"
After listening, Shen Qingshan couldn't help but glance at Chu Xiang a few times. He had never seen anyone remain so calm in this situation.
Seeing Chu Xiang's exposed calves, his loose down jacket, and his slightly sweaty, flushed face, Shen Qingshan already guessed what the other man had been doing.
He glanced towards the bedroom, and Chu Xiang noticed.
In bed, Pan Xin trembled as she listened intently to the sounds coming from the living room. From Chu Xiang's words, she deduced that other people had come to the house.
Hope ignited in her eyes; perhaps this time she could be saved!
