Without hesitation, Wen Li quickly walked to the boulder.
As you get closer, the knocking sounds from below become even louder.
Looking around, there were indeed signs that the boulder had been moved!
"Third Brother!"
Wen Li lay on the ground and removed the straw covering the boulder, discovering the cellar. She knocked on the heavy wooden planks, not caring whether the people below could hear her, and said, "I will rescue you as soon as possible."
The rock in front of them weighed at least a ton and was taller than Wenli. Even an adult might not be able to move it.
Even though Wen Li is strong, it still takes some effort to deal with such a large boulder.
However, time waits for no one. The villagers are all watching her now and will likely find her here soon.
Wen Li asked, "Third Brother, how is the situation now?"
Inside the cellar—
The team members, who had been imprisoned in the cellar for three days, were extremely excited; they never expected that someone would find them.
When Wen Yu heard his sister's voice coming from above, he was overwhelmed with mixed feelings. He told Wen Li about the situation in the cellar: "We're all fine, but the cellar isn't very oxygen-rich, so we have to leave as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Wen Li stood up again, pushed the boulder in front of her, and comforted the people in the cellar: "Wait for me a moment."
Wen Yu didn't know the situation on the surface, but he heard Wen Li's strained voice and guessed that there was probably something blocking the cellar door.
"Little Pear, don't worry about us yet, go back and call the main force. This village..."
Wen Yu suddenly heard a sound, and her words stopped abruptly.
They could only faintly hear the sounds of people talking in the distance. Wen Yu's tone suddenly changed: "Xiao Li, is someone coming?"
Wen Li glanced at the villagers walking towards her in the distance, her hands continuing their work without stopping: "The villagers are here."
Wen Li put all her strength into it, and finally, little by little, the stone was moved.
"Don't move!"
After the stone was completely moved, a gun was pressed heavily against Wen Li's temple.
Wen Li glanced at it and saw that it was actually the village chief, Yuan Bochun.
Wen Li showed no fear or shock, but simply asked calmly, "Village chief, possessing firearms is illegal."
Yuan Bochun sneered, pressing the dark muzzle of his gun even closer to the ground: "I didn't expect you to actually find it! I really underestimated you!"
Wen Li laughed and said, "I underestimated the village chief. He found us so quickly."
Then Wen Li looked at the large group of villagers and said, "I've already sent Officer Zhang back to get the main force. If I disappear now, none of you villagers will escape. The police will search high and low to find us."
As expected, Yuan Bochun's face stiffened.
He had planned everything meticulously, but he hadn't anticipated Wen Li as a variable.
At first, the police didn't even manage to hit them, but then Wen Li arrived, and somehow they were exposed.
But soon, Yuan Bochun said, "There are so many people in our village, are you saying the police are going to arrest us all? Dead men tell no tales, you and those cops are all going to die."
Wen Li: "I don't think so!"
Before Yuan Bochun could react, Wen Li grabbed his wrist with one hand and snapped it with a crack.
The gun fell instantly, and Wen Li quickly caught it in mid-air.
The moment she got the gun, Wen Li quickly cocked it, pressed it against Yuan Bochun's head, then took a few steps back and used her shoe to pry open the latch.
Wen Yu, who was down below, was already extremely anxious. When she heard the wooden plank lock being opened, she pushed it open with a bang and quickly went out of the cellar.
The remaining missing persons also filed out, and when they saw the pitch-black darkness before them, filled with the malice in the eyes of the villagers, their gazes hardened.
Many villagers had guns, but Wen Li acted too quickly and took the village chief hostage, which led to a stalemate between the two sides.
Wen Li breathed a sigh of relief when she saw out of the corner of her eye that her third brother was alright.
Seeing this, Wen Yu stood in front of Wen Li, looking at the growing number of villagers, and said, "The police will be here soon. Put down your weapons now, and you can still try to get leniency!"
Yuan Bochun snorted coldly: "This little girl wouldn't dare kill anyone! These cops aren't armed. If we kill them and throw them in the furnace, the police won't find any evidence..."
"Bang--"
Yuan Bochun's words came to an abrupt end, but what followed was an excruciating pain in his leg.
The village chief was stunned for a moment, then rolled around on the ground.
Wen Li cocked her gun again and said to the terrified villagers, "You are now attacking the police with guns. We have the right to shoot you on the spot. Let's see if you want to go to jail or die!"
Yuan Bochun: "Don't listen..."
Wen Li, expressionless, fired another shot into the village chief's leg.
The village chief was shot in both legs and almost fainted from the pain.
Wen Li showed no sympathy, her eyes coldly fixed on the crowd.
For a moment, the villagers hesitated.
The bullets in the gun are limited, but human life is also limited. Nobody wants to die, so nobody dares to step forward.
They were all terrified by Wen Li's ferocious appearance.
This time, Wen Li loaded the gun much more casually. This time, she didn't point the gun at Yuan Bochun, but at the group of villagers.
She flicked her wrist, her tone flippant: "So what if we die together? Who wants to try first?"
Now, everyone was even more afraid to move.
The two sides are deadlocked.
Although the team members had no weapons, as experienced combat personnel, they would take someone down with them even if they were to perish together.
Seeing the villagers' state, Yuan Bochun, enduring the pain, said directly, "What are you all standing there for! If they don't die today, our entire village will die!"
This sentence acted like a pivotal point, instantly reminding the villagers.
So much so that the villagers, who were initially afraid, suddenly turned fierce, and one of them raised his hand and pulled the trigger: "Die, all of you!"
Bang--
The gunfire stopped abruptly, and the villagers fell to the ground.
Wen Li did not fire the gun; the sound of the gunshot came from the side.
Everyone instinctively looked over.
In the distance, men dressed in camouflage combat uniforms, carrying guns, were seen rushing towards them.
Reinforcements have arrived.
