Chapter 295 Taking a Risk
Cheng Sinian took Luo Zhenzhen and started from the edge and blasted towards the center area.
To prevent their faces from being seen, both of them wore black hooded sweatshirts and masks.
Xiang Heng couldn't help but be surprised as he heard the explosions from the opposite side getting closer and closer to them.
These mutant flowers are not only extremely aggressive, but also have strong defensive capabilities. Even if half of them are blown up, the remaining half can still continue to attack.
Their entire team bombed for such a long time, but they only managed to destroy less than a hundred plants.
How could Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen be eliminated so quickly with just two people?
However, despite their surprise, Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen's speed still gave them great encouragement.
Xiang Heng had originally planned to retreat with his team, but now...
Xiang Heng glanced at the mercenaries searching for them in the distance, gritted his teeth, and whispered to his team members, "Keep hidden, and keep bombing! Find a way to hold out until Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen come and join us."
"Yes!" the team members answered in unison.
While Xiang Heng and others were trying their best to delay time, Yu Qingchuan, Hua Yue, Yan Zijin and others on the other side were also trying hard to find ways to prolong the attack time.
According to the original plan, Yu Qingchuan led Hua Yue and Yan Zijin's team in opposite directions, splitting into two groups and continuously bombing the outer wall.
Yan Zijin's side was divided into two groups, one group was in the front to cause damage, and the other group was in the back to cover the rear, and they killed all the few mercenaries who caught up with them.
"Captain, it's already past seven o'clock. Why haven't the explosions at the 'reservoir' stopped yet?" One of Yan Zijin's team members asked in a low voice.
Yan Zijin pursed his lips and said gravely, "The situation over there is unclear right now, but since the explosions haven't stopped, it means we're still safe here. Keep bombing!"
Since Cheng Sinian and Xiang Heng did not retreat, it means that they still have unfinished business.
Then they had to continue. Otherwise, if they retreated prematurely, the troops from the dependent settlement would quickly replenish the "reservoir", and Cheng Sinian and Xiang Heng would be in danger.
Time passed minute by minute, and after going through untold hardships, Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen finally reunited with Xiang Heng's team.
At this time, the "reservoir" had been blown beyond recognition.
All the mutated flower plants were hanging to the ground, twitching from time to time, and only a dozen or so were still alive.
However, precisely because the number of these mutant flower plants has decreased, their locations are becoming increasingly vulnerable to exposure.
In order to hide, Xiang Heng had to crouch down and squat among the mutated plants.
"Captain Xiang, you guys retreat first." Cheng Sinian pulled Luo Zhenzhen and ran over quickly, crouching down, and said in a low voice.
"What about you?"
"Don't worry about us. We're few in number and a small target. They can't catch us." Cheng Sinian spoke quickly. "You retreat first. We'll cover your retreat and follow you later!"
"Okay." Xiang Heng didn't say anything more after hearing that. He waved silently at the team members, and the whole team quickly retreated to the rear.
They did not drive their own cars for this operation. The vehicles they drove were abandoned vehicles found outside the base in advance. According to the original plan, they would abandon the cars here directly when they evacuated.
Xiang Heng and his men mostly have offensive abilities and are slower on foot, so Cheng Sinian must let them retreat early.
Xiang Heng and his team members followed the original plan and quickly disappeared into the dense forest.
Cheng Sinian drew a line of fire in front of him, then pulled Luo Zhenzhen into the dark, and under the cover of fire, continued to throw grenades forward.
Now that the mercenaries were gradually approaching, the surviving mutant flowers ahead would definitely be impossible to eradicate. Although Cheng Sinian felt a little sorry, he really had no other choice.
At the moment, they could only try their best to delay time and let Xiang Heng and his team members escape as far away as possible.
Yu Qingchuan and Yan Zijin, who were far away, had also reunited at this time.
Yan Zijin looked up in the direction of the "reservoir" and said simply, "The explosion has become smaller."
"Yeah." Yu Qingchuan nodded, "They are probably retreating too."
"Let's hold off for a while and wait until the explosions over there completely disappear before we retreat."
"Then let's find a way to get to the other side." Yan Zijin pursed his lips, thought for a few seconds, and said softly.
The terrain on the side of the dependent settlement is higher. Now all the mercenaries in the dependent base have been lured out and are searching for them along the periphery. If an attack is launched in one place at this time, the other party will soon notice it.
If the other side adopts an outflanking policy, they will be in a bad situation.
"No need." Yu Qingchuan stared at a certain direction in the settlement, his tone hinting at ruthlessness. "You stay here, Yueyue and I will go."
They had observed the terrain in advance and knew that this was the best place to retreat.
Yu Qingchuan is the only mutant present who can fly. Even when absolutely necessary, he can fly out of the encirclement.
Although doing so may expose one's identity, it is better than being caught directly.
Moreover, compared to destroying the outskirts of the settlement, Yu Qingchuan felt that they had a better choice.
"Okay." Yan Zijin thought for two seconds after hearing this. Perhaps he understood Yu Qingchuan's concerns, so he didn't object. "Then you must be careful. Once the explosions at the reservoir stop, we will retreat immediately, so you must leave a way out for yourself in advance!"
"Don't worry, Captain Yan." Yu Qingchuan patted Yan Zijin's shoulder gently, then took Huayue and ran quickly to the west of the settlement.
Yan Zijin looked at the direction where Yu Qingchuan and the others ran, and his brows suddenly frowned.
That direction...
Yan Zijin sighed lightly, a look of understanding flashing across his face.
"Are all researchers... so kind-hearted?"
"Captain, what do you mean by this?"
Yan Zijin glanced at the team member who was asking the question, and raised his chin towards the direction where Yu Qingchuan and Hua Yue left. "Do you know which direction that is?"
The team member scratched his head, "West?"
"Yes, that's west. Do you remember what's to the west on the settlement map Captain Joe gave us?"
The team member lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then a look of realization suddenly appeared on his face. "To the west is the prison!"
"Are they trying to save people?!"
Yan Zijin flicked the team member's head with his finger and said, "Not too stupid."
The team member chuckled, but then his expression became troubled again. "But they're taking too much of a risk. Aren't they afraid of getting caught?"
"Just after I praised you for being smart, you're already acting stupid." Yan Zijin raised an eyebrow. "Do you think Researcher Yu is stupid? Now that most of the mercenaries have been lured out, the troops inside are at a low point. Now is the best time to go in!"
