The opposing team was carrying electric shock guns, while the last row of people were carrying the most lethal firearms. Li Ke and his group, on the other hand, had only the armrests they had taken from the hospital beds and various short metal or glass tools they had found in their toolboxes.
Faced with a clear disadvantage, the other side shouted for them to raise their hands, drop their weapons, and surrender obediently, as they did not want to hurt anyone.
Li Ke followed Xia Ji, bringing twenty-four teammates. The enemy sent a small number of men to ambush them, ten upstairs and ten downstairs, which blocked them on the stairs, leaving them stuck in the middle.
Xia Ji shouted at them not to fire, saying they would cooperate and obey, and then slowly raised his arms.
Li Ke and the others followed suit, their tools clattering to the ground. At the same time, they swiftly flung their weapons at the people opposite them.
These things included twenty or thirty needles, some broken glass, and other tools. The screams and gunshots rang out at the same time. Li Ke and Xia Ji's men had split into two groups, one attacking upwards and the other downwards.
Having seized the weapons and dealt with the enemy, Xia Ji's side had five wounded and temporarily incapacitated. Those who were shot were in relatively better condition; they knew how to avoid vital organs, and all they had to do was clear the bullets and stop the bleeding.
The teammate who was hit by the stun gun fared worse; his whole body was stiff for a while, and the pain was clearly visible to the naked eye.
After changing their equipment and carrying their teammates, Xia Ji and his group continued upwards. With weapons, their ascent became much smoother. They fought their way up, sometimes taking the time to ask questions and sabotage the electrical monitoring system.
When Xia Ji and his team reunited with the other team, the total number of teammates was only thirty-five, and the situation of the other two teams was unknown.
At first, they could carry the wounded with them, but as they went higher, the enemy's ambush became more intense, and they could only leave one gun for their teammates. If the pain was too much, they would take care of themselves, but if there was a chance of survival, they would try to hold on until the end.
The building has a complex layout and a vast space. They started from the ground floor and have only reached the fifth floor so far. The path to the sixth floor is blocked, and the path downstairs is also blocked.
They were all exhausted, after all, they still had drug residue in their bodies, and it was already quite impressive that they had persevered this far.
With the fighting paused and everyone trapped, Li Ke looked at the situation and said to Xia Ji with slight dissatisfaction, "Is this all the strength you have? I really misjudged you. With this, I actually thought I could win by lying down with you? I originally planned to infiltrate the enemy silently, but now it seems that you are the ones who have been used as fish to lure us in!"
Xia Ji wore a bitter smile. From the moment he realized something was wrong, he had been reviewing the situation. It was obvious that they had been betrayed, and the person who betrayed them was probably their business partner, the Zheng royal family.
"This time it was my mistake that dragged you down, I'm sorry." Xia Ji apologized sincerely.
Li Ke looked at Xia Ji with a probing gaze. To be honest, she still didn't believe that Xia Ji and the others hadn't left any backup plans and had just reached their end like this.
Li Ke said expressionlessly, "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and think of a solution. The other side is probably trying to drag things out until we're exhausted before dealing with us. I don't want to just sit here and wait."
Xia Ji suddenly spoke up: "Do you still have any Tiger Balm? Give me some more."
Li Ke: "There's not much left, and I still need to use it myself."
Xia Ji looked at Li Ke: "There's still some left? I remember there were so many of us, and everyone got a bite. How did you hide this? And why did you even think of hiding it?"
Li Ke looked at Xia Ji with a half-smile: "If you're really curious, then come over and see for yourself."
Xia Ji's eyes flickered slightly before he wisely declined, "I was just joking. Everyone has their own habits and secrets. I was just asking out of curiosity. I apologize for the intrusion."
The security door was pushed open, and smoke spilled out from the crack. Xia Ji immediately ordered, "Shield your breathing. Send two people to push the door back in, and the rest of you break down the wall to clear a path."
Someone immediately patted their spot, found a good angle to fire two shots at the wall, and then started kicking and pounding it. In no time, a hole the size of a head appeared.
After creating the hole in the wall, everyone immediately began to move, searching for an exit and collecting tools to cause damage along the way. If they couldn't find an exit, they would break down the wall to get out.
Li Ke remained silent throughout the journey, contributing whatever he could. Xia Ji's route this time seemed clearer and more decisive, yet it also carried a resolute and unwavering determination.
In the main control room on the other side, the commander of this building was extremely angry as he watched those people go wherever the circuits went black!
Just as he was about to issue the kill order to stop the damage, the highest-level order followed, demanding that the harm and pursuit of the other side be stopped and that friendly talks be held with them.
Just as Li Ke and his group had used all their fists and legs and were about to smash the world apart, the other side sent a message to negotiate peace, and Xia Ji agreed without any surprise.
Inside the meeting room, Xia Ji only brought his two deputies. Li Ke, Xia Yu, and the other teammates stood guard outside with weapons. To show their sincerity, the other side even replenished their ammunition.
When Xia Ji and his group came out again, both sides wore smiles that were outwardly sincere but inwardly hypocritical. Li Ke and his group received a more thorough reception this time, and were taken to another intact building, less than a hundred meters away from the previous one.
After settling the wounded, Li Ke asked Xia Ji what exactly happened and why they suddenly stopped fighting.
