There was a constant "crackling" sound outside, which was the sound of the laser gun piercing through the door.
Thompson knew that the enemy's weapons were too powerful and it would be difficult to deal with them with just the weapons in his hands, so the best option was to run away.
He said to Luo Tian, "We are leaving now. You can follow me or stay here. As for the transaction just now, you have already paid the deposit. If you don't want the goods, I can return the money. If you want the goods, I will fulfill the agreement."
Luo Tian felt that Thomson was a decent person. Although he was not very powerful, he was reliable and could be befriended. As for Maxim, judging by the arrogant attitude of his subordinates, he was definitely not a good person. Moreover, there was a nobleman standing behind him, so it was best to stay away from him.
"Let's go together. As for the transaction, why shouldn't I want the goods since you have them?" Luo Tian said.
Thompson admired the righteous man in front of him: "Then come with me."
He led everyone to a warehouse at the back. Pink-haired followed Luo Tian and Dugu Yun, trembling with fear.
Thomson turned a button on the wall, and soon a large hole appeared in the ground.
"This is a secret passage, let's go." Thompson said, and then he went in.
Luo Tian and his two companions followed closely behind, and several burly men protected them at the back. The secret passage was very narrow, only enough for one person to pass through. The few people walked forward in the darkness for several minutes, without saying a word, in complete silence.
Suddenly, a strong light came from behind, and a bodyguard said, "Boss, this is bad, they have entered the secret passage."
Just as he finished speaking, there were a few whooshing sounds, and a bodyguard was hit and fell down.
"Boss, hurry up, I'll cover you!" The other bodyguards stopped and the sound of shooting was heard in the narrow tunnel.
Thomson quickened his pace, followed closely by Luo Tian and the other two. Suddenly, the cave entrance became dark again, with no more light coming in.
"Has the enemy been eliminated?" Luo Tian asked.
Dugu Yun looked back and saw that the bodyguards who were behind him just now were completely motionless. They sacrificed their lives to form a human wall, blocking the enemy's way in. Because they blocked it so tightly, no light could penetrate.
"They are already dead, and their bodies blocked the tunnel, so the light couldn't get through." Dugu Yun said.
"Thomson, your men are really great." Luo Tian felt a little pain in his heart.
Thomson's eyes also became moist. After years of getting along with each other, they had already become brothers. They promised to share the joys and sorrows, and the wealth and honor. In the end, they did not enjoy the wealth and honor, but died in this cramped tunnel, and he could not collect their bodies.
But he had no time to grieve and could only escape as quickly as possible.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, they reached the end. Thomson quickly opened the cover above the tunnel, and dim light shone in.
Thomson climbed up nimbly, followed by Luo Tian, who pulled Fenmao and Dugu Yun out of the tunnel.
Dugu Yun was about to close the lid, but Thompson stopped him. He took out a small round ball from his waist, pulled the fuse, threw it into the tunnel, and then closed the lid.
A few seconds later, there was a muffled sound, the ground shook violently, and a few screams could be vaguely heard.
"Let these damn guys be buried with my good brothers!" Thompson dusted off the dust on his body and said coldly.
Luo Tian looked around and realized that the exit of the tunnel was actually next to an abandoned beehive.
"We finally escaped." Pink-haired let out a long sigh, "Where do we go now?"
Luo Tian looked at Thompson, who lowered his head with a confused expression.
"What are you going to do next?" Luo Tian patted Thompson's shoulder.
"What can I do? Escape. With my strength, I can't deal with Maxim. Now all my brothers are gone. I can only hide and wait for the opportunity." Thompson said dejectedly.
"Don't you want to avenge your brothers?" Luo Tian stared into Thompson's eyes, "Don't forget, they were shot to death to protect you."
Thompson was enraged and shouted, "So what? Can I defeat Maxim alone? His weapons are better than mine, and he has more men than me. The only way I can be worthy of my brothers is to survive." Tears instantly flowed down his face.
"I need someone. You can follow me. Maybe you'll have a chance to take revenge." Luo Tian said, "Besides, if you hide alone and they find you, they'll have no choice but to surrender."
Thompson looked at the determined man in front of him and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of trust. He was right. Where could he hide? Maxim was powerful and would definitely try every means to search for him, embezzle all his weapons, and even eliminate him.
"Although this is the first time we meet, I can tell that you are a righteous person," Thomson said. "Thank you for taking me in. Don't worry, I won't cause you any more trouble once I'm out of the spotlight."
Luo Tian extended his right hand again: "Happy cooperation!" This time the two shook hands deeply.
Thomson drove a flying car out of the abandoned beehive, which he had hidden there in advance.
Four people got on the flying car, and a prompt sounded: [Please enter coordinates].
Luo Tian sat in the co-pilot seat and input the coordinates of the Witch. The car slowly took off and flew towards the destination.
On the way, Luo Tian thought of Maxim and asked Thomson: "This Maxim is quite famous. Do you know his boss behind the scenes?"
Thomson thought for a moment and said, "I also heard about it from others. This Maxim married the emperor's son. I heard that this prince is also related to the four great nobles by marriage, but I don't know which prince he is."
