Lu Zhaoying and the others were in the underpass.
There was no light here, and they depended on the leaking light from outside.
Lu Zhaoying didn’t speak. He knelt on one knee beside a person lying on the ground, gritted his teeth, and cried out, “… Old Six!”
The person on the ground seemed to hear him, but he didn’t close his eyes, and they were still as well. His hands and feet were almost indistinguishable, his abdomen was bloody, and he could only gape.
Kneeling beside him, he could only distinguish two words by the shape of his mouth—
“… Not me.”
Everyone was holding back their tears, knowing that the two words Sixth Bro could manage were a natural reaction after being tortured. When he was hit unconscious, these were the only words he remembered.
Lu Zhaoying’s throat tightened, and his eyes turned red. He said lightly, “Sixth Bro, it’s me, Lu Zhaoying. Xiao Luo has successfully been rescued by us. Your wife just gave birth to a son in the hospital three days ago. I gave him the name Cheng Hui.”
Sixth Bro finally seemed to understand his words, and his eyelids finally moved. “Go…”
As soon as he uttered this word, his hand dropped.
His eyes finally closed.
Only a faint smile remained on his lips.
“Boss, I’ve already looked. There’s only an exit, and we’ll have to leave before we’re discovered.” A man walked over from the other side of the underpass. He wiped his face and gradually trailed off after seeing everyone else’s reaction to Sixth Bro.
After about two seconds, Lu Zhaoying directly raised his head and looked in the direction of the exit. “Go out first.”
In order to cover for Xiao Luo’s departure, Lu Zhaoying and the others had to expose themselves.
Xiao Luo was only 16 years old this year, more than 10 years younger than Lu Zhaoying. He had only just entered the industry, so they wouldn’t let him fall into a desperate situation no matter what.
“I’m going to avenge Sixth Bro!” Someone wiped his eyes and stood up, holding a bag of explosives.
Lu Zhaoying looked up at him. “Go, this is an order!”
The man raised his chin with a stubborn face.
Another man came out, raised his hand, and slapped his face. “Why did Sixth Bro risk his life? He did it for you to die together with him?! What’s the point of him sacrificing himself!”
Lu Zhaoying directly turned and headed to the exit. Without looking back, he said lightly, “I only know that if I’m dead, no one will take him home.”
The man who wanted to bring Sixth Bro away stood there for a moment, then silently carried Sixth Bro’s body.
When they approached the exit, the sound of a dog barking could be heard.
“It’s the wolf that Sixth Bro’s news talked about. It’s not easy to deal with, be careful.” The person behind Lu Zhaoying said solemnly, “Boss, can you deal with your injury? You even went to the supervision room to rescue Xiao Luo.”
Lu Zhaoying stood in the thick gunpowder smoke, seeing the exit filled with smoke from the smoke bomb that he and the others had just left. There had been a slight explosion, and the air smelled of gunpowder smoke. “I’m fine. We’ll split up outside and then meet again at the safe base.”
The rescue this time had obviously been anticipated by the enemy, so it was better to flee before the entire team was wiped out.
The exit was narrow, so they had to lean against the wall to go out.
When a man patrolling the area with a wolf saw Lu Zhaoying, he immediately picked up his communicator. “At the southern tunnel entrance—”
Boom.
Lu Zhaoying dealt with him directly, but the alarm sounded at this time—news of Lu Zhaoying and the others had been leaked.
There were still 12 people left in this patrol team, each with a wolf.
“We only have three minutes to move! Give Sixth Bro to me! Hurry up and leave!” Under the urgent situation, Lu Zhaoying knew his ammunition wasn’t enough. Three minutes later, they had to cross the opposite wall, or the enemy team would catch up and their escape would be foiled.
Lu Zhaoying was the most agile amongst them, so he took over Sixth Bro’s corpse.
While running to the other side, he dealt with the enemies.
The 12 people on the opposite kept falling, but the wolves had been released from their cages and were running straight at them.
Lu Zhaoying’s movements were inconvenient because of the corpse, and a large number of enemy troops were already rushing over behind him. If they were entangled by the wolves, they wouldn’t be able to escape.
Two other men had yet to climb over because of an attack from another place.
Only when the others climbed up the wall did they discover the blood on Lu Zhaoying’s body. His actions were obviously slower, not only from the wound half a month ago but also from the gunshot wound he suffered when he saved Xiao Luo.
Lu Zhaoying didn’t say a word. With two wolves rushing forward toward him, he threw Sixth Bro’s body over forcefully and remained composed despite the two wolves behind him. “This is my last order. Leave us here, and bring Sixth Bro back!”
He had promised Sixth Bro’s wife to bring him back.
“Boss! Third Bro!”
Someone climbed halfway and choked out.
There were seven people in total, all scattered.
Everything seemed to happen in slow motion. Lu Zhaoying threw Sixth Bro over with both hands, and three wolf dogs rushed towards him from behind.
Their ammunition was used up, and the other two men were still desperately fighting with the wolves.
Some closed their eyes and jumped up.
Some wiped their tears and rolled over with red eyes.
The sky seemed to surge with black clouds, and the surrounding smoke was choking. Everyone’s heart sank to the bottom of their chests—
“Boom!”
Two gunshots sounded from the left, and the two wolves whose fangs were about to sink into Lu Zhaoying’s back were shot down. They fell to the ground from mid-air, creating a cloud of dust.
Everyone turned to the sound source.
“Bang, bang, bang—”
With the sound of gunshots, the other two wolves at the side were also shot down.
Lu Zhaoying raised his head and looked upwards—
The woman sitting on the wall just looked ahead, and then turned to change directions—
“Bang, bang—”
With another two gunshots, the two headlights on the square behind Lu Zhaoying and the others were shattered instantly, and the surroundings immediately became dark.
By the time everyone else reacted and looked in her direction, Pan Mingyue had already stuck her guns back to her waist. She tilted her head slightly towards Lu Zhaoying. “Come up.”
