"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!!" "Whoosh!!!"
Bullets equipped with silencers kept coming, and screams and blood mist mingled together!
"Big Brother! Let's retreat!"
The burly men around Xiang Ziye reacted immediately, blocking his way and firing their guns in the direction the bullets were coming from!
Xiang Ziye gritted his teeth and pulled out his gun: "Damn it, that thing has a tracking function!"
As he spoke, he turned his head to grab Ning Yuan.
To his surprise, he turned around and found that the person next to him was gone!
Looking up again, I saw a petite figure crawling on the ground, using all four limbs to move quickly into the house, like a rabbit, and it looked like she was about to dart inside!
Xiang Ziye's face instantly turned green, and he roared angrily, "Get him out of here!"
It turned out that the moment the gunshot rang out, Ning Yuan only froze for a second before quickly covering her head and rolling on the ground!
Now is the time to run! Expecting her to be a princess in a fairy tale, waiting to be rescued, is out of the question!
You can climb out of the back window of the room without fear of bullets, and you can continue running along the original route again!
Alas...
"Where the hell do you think you're going!" Just as she was about to dash back into her room, she felt a large hand grab her by the collar and pull her up.
Before she could turn her head, a big guy grabbed her and dragged her back to Xiang Ziye.
"Old Wu, knock this unruly thing unconscious!" Xiang Ziye shouted sternly as he fired his gun into the mountains.
Seeing that the man called Lao Wu was about to smash her head with the butt of his gun, Ning Yuan immediately squatted down, raised her hands, and screamed, "Don't hit me! Behave yourself! I've already behaved! There are handcuffs among the weapons in that car, handcuff me!"
You have to back down when you need to!
Old Wu looked at her pale face, her bright eyes staring at him pitifully with her hands raised, and he couldn't bring himself to hit her.
"Useless! This cunning woman's little honey trap made you unable to make a move?!" Xiang Ziye laughed angrily, his stomach aching and he was furious.
But the current situation leaves him no room for hesitation!
The enemy was in the dark, while he was in the light. The enemy's guns were incredibly accurate, and within minutes, his men were constantly being hit in vital areas!
At this rate, they'll all be dead here in less than fifteen minutes!
"Cuff him and carry him away!" Xiang Ziye ordered sternly, tossing a pair of handcuffs to Lao Wu.
Old Wu immediately handcuffed Ning Yuan's wrists and hoisted her onto his shoulder!
"Boss, you go first! I'll carry her and act as your human shield to cover your retreat!" He was tall and strong, yet exceptionally agile. While carrying Ning Yuan, he could also use one hand to hold a gun and fight back against the ambush in the mountains!
Ning Yuan, head down, her face flushed red from his shove, was absolutely furious at his words—a human shield?! You bastard, do you have any manners?!
The moment Ning Yuan was used as a shield, the leader of the men with guns in the forest immediately raised his left hand to signal a halt to the attack.
"Be careful of the hostages!" He gestured to flank them from both sides.
Immediately, several figures wearing camouflage uniforms that had not yet appeared in China quickly disappeared into the woods.
The man, also dressed in forest camouflage, fastened his helmet, tossed the heavy sniper rifle to Ah Heng, grabbed a submachine gun, and charged towards the nearby house like a tiger unleashed.
Chen Chen immediately led his men to follow behind him.
...
Xiang Ziye also noticed that the enemy's firepower had decreased significantly in an instant.
He sneered and glanced at Ning Yuan: "Your human shield is still somewhat useful. Let's go, let's retreat!"
Under the cover of the other kidnappers, Xiang Ziye led Lao Wu and another of his men to quickly hide in the nearby mountains by taking a detour from the side of the house.
"Brother Xiang, hurry! This way! This is the shortcut!"
Old Wu carried Ning Yuan on his back, and didn't forget to lead the way!
Ning Yuan then realized that there was actually a cave here!
No, it should be called an air-raid shelter—in order to protect against enemy nuclear bombing, in the 1960s, people dug deep tunnels to store grain, and tunnels were dug all over the country. There was also a man-made tunnel here.
The mountain tunnel has been there for many years and is damp.
After the two men beside Xiang Ziye entered the air-raid shelter, they immediately closed the door.
Then, he took out two torches from a box on the side and lit them. The air in the air-raid shelter was not very good, but the ventilation was okay, and the torches caught fire smoothly.
"Brother Xiang, how are you?" Old Wu looked at him worriedly.
Xiang Ziye's face was pale; the bandage on his abdominal wound was bleeding from the exertion.
He shook his head: "It's alright, but this time, I'm afraid I'll drag the brothers down with me! Give me this woman, and I'll walk the rest of the road myself. You shouldn't have risked your lives with me!"
Old Wu said with a stern face, "How many of us didn't have our lives saved by Brother Xiang? From the day we started working for you, whether it's wealth and glory or getting shot, we were all prepared!"
The other two men nodded without batting an eye: "What we've done is enough to warrant being shot eight hundred times over. Brother Xiang has taken care of everything for our families. We said from the beginning that we'd stick with him to the end!"
Xiang Ziye clutched his stomach and stood up. Apart from being a little pale, his face didn't show any particular pain.
He chuckled, lit a cigarette, and offered cigarettes to the three of them as well: "Alright, we brothers haven't been brothers for nothing. Thanks, brothers, we won't be alone on the road."
Ning Yuan, hanging upside down, listened intently, her brow twitching, but she managed to understand what she was hearing.
These guys are vicious and desperate criminals that Xiang Ziye has spent money to recruit over the years!
That's why they're so fearless!
And this place was clearly used to transport something before... there's a strange smell.
That taste...
Her heart skipped a beat.
Well, this is a huge problem...
Ning Yuan's mind raced.
Xiang Ziye took a deep drag on his cigarette, each puff forceful, as if the smoke contained a painkiller.
About ten minutes later, he threw away his cigarette, picked up his gun, and decisively got up and walked deeper into the air-raid tunnel: "Let's go."
The two men also threw away their cigarettes, with a resolute air, as if they were throwing away their own lives, and followed.
One of the shorter men tried to help him up, but Xiang Ziye refused, saying calmly, "I'm fine!"
Old Wu, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, immediately hoisted Ning Yuan onto his back and followed.
After walking for about thirty minutes, Ning Yuan heard the sound of a metal valve being turned and opened.
Then the night breeze from the forest, carrying cool, moist air, rushed towards me.
The water was gurgling.
Ning Yuan felt she walked for about five more minutes, and then—
"Thump!" Old Wu roughly threw her to the ground, the hard surface making her bottom ache.
Ignoring the pain in her bottom, a thought struck her, and she instinctively touched the ground. This wasn't the muddy ground of the forest, it was—
"It's the highway next to the bridge. My brother died on the bridge, and my face and health were ruined on this road," Xiang Ziye said quietly.
Ning Yuan looked at him expressionlessly yet warily: "What exactly do you want?"
Xiang Ziye chuckled and looked down at her: "You really are afraid of dying."
