The purpose of this operation was to gather intelligence, so only a small number of people were brought along.
The interior of a steel plant is complex, and it is difficult to understand the situation inside without the aid of lighting.
To avoid alerting the enemy, they only scouted outside and did not enter the building.
Xiao Gao and Secretary Cui followed at a distance, only taking Secretary Cui to "inspect" after confirming that it was safe.
Besides Chen Nian, Xu Neng had six other people around him, and Chen Nian could never find an opportunity to make a move...
When they arrived at Zone 3, the site was filled with piles of coal, and unlike the first two zones, it was much more chaotic.
After this area is explored, the mission will be almost complete, and Chen Nian doesn't have much time left.
In a panic, Chen Nian decided to take advantage of the enemy's strength and act amidst the chaos.
At that moment, he saw a medium-sized iron bucket at his feet, probably used to transport small amounts of coal. It was stained black by the coal and was extremely difficult to spot in the darkness without close inspection.
He subtly shifted his feet, pretending to be careless, and then kicked it hard. The iron bucket rolled several times with a clatter, making a long series of noises...
Everyone's hair stood on end. Before they could even look at Chen Nian, they heard a flurry of footsteps approaching.
A dozen or so people quickly surrounded them, rapidly closing in and launching an attack on the "intruders."
The other person looked like a night patrolman, with the build of someone who does manual labor all year round.
Seeing that the number of "invaders" was small, they did not go to the first district to announce their arrival, but went directly to surround and annihilate them.
Xu Neng and his six apostles immediately engaged in a fierce battle.
Chen Nian sensed his opportunity had arrived, secretly pulled out a dagger, and walked towards Xu Neng...
Just two meters away from Xu Neng, a man suddenly appeared from behind and, taking advantage of Chen Nian's momentary lapse in attention, struck him on the back of the head with a club.
Before Chen Nian could react, a sharp pain shot through his shoulder, he felt dizzy and his body went limp...
If his shoulder hadn't blocked some of the force, that blow would have almost killed him.
Just as the man was about to strike Chen Nian again, Xu Neng rushed in front of him, knocked him to the ground with several punches, and took the man's short stick as his weapon.
At this moment, another man arrived nearby, wielding a large wrench, and attacked the old man on the ground.
Chen Nian was terrified and struggled to get up, but the more effort he exerted, the more dizzy he became. In his panic, he could only use his forearm to protect his head...
Having been free from attack for a long time, Chen Nian carefully moved his arm away, only to see Xu Neng save him once again.
He was fighting the man with a short stick, and within two or three seconds, he had the man's brains splattered.
Chen Nian was shocked and stunned; Xu Neng was so terrifying!
Several of the other side also realized that Xu Neng was too difficult to deal with, so three or four of them immediately surrounded Xu Neng, trying to find a way to break through...
Xu Neng saved him twice, which led to him being surrounded and attacked. Chen Nian felt extremely guilty. He tried to get up, but he couldn't stand up after several attempts...
At this moment, Xu Neng reached out and pulled him up, shielding him behind him...
Chen Nian was deeply moved. He stood beside Xu Neng, holding a dagger, and fought alongside him!
At this point, even more people joined the attack, and one of them deliberately circled around behind Xu Neng, intending to launch a sneak attack.
Chen Nian rushed forward with his knife. Encouraged by Xu Neng, his courage increased, and he wildly stabbed with his dagger. In the chaos, he cut the other man's neck, and blood gushed out from his aorta.
Hot blood splattered onto Chen Nian's face. He was completely terrified, standing there with the knife in hand, his mind blank...
This slash completely enraged the other party, and another man roared as he charged towards Chen Nian!
Before Chen Nian could react, he was hit hard in the back, and the force of the impact sent him flying forward!
Without veering off to either side, it pounced on Xu Neng.
The dagger in his hand plunged into Xu Neng's chest...
Xu Neng looked at him in disbelief. He was wary of everyone, yet he was injured by Chen Nian, whom he was protecting.
Chen Nian's face turned deathly pale, and he kept repeating, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Now that there are only two opponents left, Xu Neng has no time to think and can only continue fighting. He knows that if he wants to survive, he must kill them all and prevent them from sending reinforcements.
Xu Neng was seriously injured and couldn't take care of Chen Nian. Chen Nian eventually ran out of strength and couldn't withstand the attack, so he was knocked unconscious on the ground...
After Xu Neng had taken care of everyone, he too collapsed from exhaustion.
He stared at the dagger embedded in his chest, and in his fading consciousness, he felt as if his soul was about to leave his body...
At that moment, he thought of Wang Feifei, and with his last breath, he took out his phone and dialed her number.
Soon, a sweet voice came from the phone:
"Xu Neng, what brings you here so late?"
"..."
"Xu Neng?"
Xu Neng struggled to hold on, the excruciating pain rendering him speechless. The knife had pierced his heart firmly, and he felt a sense of despair, but before he died, he still had unfulfilled wishes.
He wanted to know if the person he cherished most had ever loved him...
He struggled to catch his breath and managed to squeeze out a few words:
"Do...do you love...me...?"
Hearing Xu Neng's weak voice, Wang Feifei was frightened and cried, and hurriedly asked him:
"Xu Neng, where are you? Where are you?"
"Xu Neng!"
Answer me!
Xu Neng didn't get a reply from her and fainted...
Wang Feifei was terrified and cried out helplessly:
"Xu Neng, where are you!"
I'm coming to find you!
...
There was still no sound on the other end of the phone, only the whistling wind...
Wang Feifei held the phone and cried uncontrollably. Was Xu Neng dying? Where was he?
"Xu Neng, don't die!"
"Waaaaah... Don't die..."
Wang Feifei called out again and again, but received no response.
