Chapter 1329: Chapter 1328: Breaking Through One-Line Sky
"Everyone, move quickly, or else we’ll be in danger once we’re discovered." Zhang Yufei was getting a bit worried. Her plan wasn’t perfect, but it was risky.
Yet, under these circumstances, it was the only solution she could think of.
The group nodded and swiftly climbed the mountain. They were all elite troops who later became SWAT officers, so they had ample strength and endurance. Shortly, they reached the mountain top.
Everyone cautiously peered over and confirmed that those people were still on high alert from the previous situation.
"Damn it, they actually fooled us with a diversion!" the mountain king Xiao He cursed fiercely.
"Master, I feel this might not be a diversion. If they come again, they might truly rush over in the dust, so we must remain vigilant," strategist Xu Ke analyzed.
"Hiss... That’s true. If they really seize the opportunity, we indeed can’t handle them." Xiao He considered this and nodded, ordering everyone to monitor every movement in the canyon.
Sure enough, Liu Hai saw the group had reached the top and began issuing orders, driving the large buffalo forward.
This time, the dust was even thicker. After the previous disturbance, the soil had been churned up, making it easier to rise.
Seeing the dust rise again, Xiao He was stunned, hurriedly ordering archers to shoot and the gunners to fire continuously below.
The scene with rocks tumbling down was far more terrifying than before, perhaps in the belief that the enemy was definitely sprinting through this time.
Zhang Yufei was also stunned. Thankfully, she hadn’t led the team in a direct charge; otherwise, they would truly be having tea with Yama by now.
"Everyone, get ready. Once their ammunition and arrows are mostly depleted, we’ll charge in and annihilate them. If they resist, kill them without mercy."
Zhang Yufei saw what had happened earlier and knew these people were inhumane. Fortunately, they hadn’t gone inside; otherwise, they would all be dead at the hands of these bandits.
Executing these vicious criminals on the spot was legal anyway, given their illegal possession of guns and their combat with the police.
"Yes, Captain Ma."
Upon hearing the order, everyone nodded and waited for the opportunity.
About three minutes later, the dust cleared, and the arrows and guns had been mostly fired.
Suddenly, Xiao He ordered to cease firing, realizing that apart from a lone buffalo crying out in pain, there wasn’t a soul to be seen—they had been tricked.
But it was too late; Zhang Yufei and over a dozen comrades charged forward with handguns.
"Master, it’s bad, we need to retreat!"
Strategist Xu Ke saw the situation turning dire and urgently shouted.
Xiao He quickly responded, retreating fast under the cover of gunners and archers. After all, this was their territory, and they had already prepared quick escape routes.
Wang Du led his men, holding out for a while, then left some behind as he retreated to the stronghold with the remaining forces.
The fifteen support officers led by Liu Hai on the ground also came up. Under Liu Hai’s lead, they charged through the One-Line Sky, coinciding perfectly with Zhang Yufei eliminating the group, meeting at the other end of the canyon.
"Captain Ma, where are their people?"
Seeing Zhang Yufei and her team unharmed, Liu Hai felt relieved. After all, this was quite reckless; if not for a clever strategy, how could they have easily bypassed hundreds?
"They ran, likely to the stronghold."
Zhang Yufei was somewhat frustrated; just as she’d gotten into the fight, they escaped. On the way to the stronghold, they probably regrouped, making it indeed tough to charge in.
If their ammunition is sufficient, the situation would be grim. Also, they’re unsure if there are any bomb traps, which would be even more dangerous.
Thinking it over, Zhang Yufei sat on a large stone, pondering.
This matter was no small affair. She was impulsive earlier, but seeing the dangerous situation made Zhang Yufei hesitate. Her own death wouldn’t matter, but these officers had families—what would happen to them if they died?
"Alright, everyone stay back, I’ll go alone," Zhang Yufei said calmly.
"Captain Ma, we said when we arrived that we’ll die together. Since it’s confirmed that the eight missing people are here, and five of them are women, we can only imagine how these beasts tortured them," officer Hu Bing, accompanying Zhang Yufei, exclaimed emotionally.
Initially, he was also apprehensive, but upon hearing about the captured female comrades, he could no longer tolerate it—being a passionate soldier, he’d rather die gloriously.
"Right, we’ll follow Captain Ma to the death," the group shouted.
Liu Hai took a deep breath and followed by saying, "If we die, so be it, we’re going up!"
Zhang Yufei was stunned, hearing Liu Hai say this was as if seeing an alien, but then, she smiled contentedly, saying, "Thank you, everyone, but... we’re not going to die, we’re rescuing people, got it? No one is allowed to die; anyone who dies... is a puppy!"
"..." Originally stirred by the bold speech, everyone was filled with righteous fervor, unexpectedly followed by such a cute remark.
After cooling down a bit, they quickly shouted, "Yes, Captain Ma."
Now they numbered over thirty; after resting briefly, Zhang Yufei and Liu Hai led the group towards the stronghold.
Although it seemed like climbing the mountain, it was almost like walking on flat ground, just a sense of ascent. The stronghold was built about a hundred meters above ground.
Here, such a wide, long distance, a hundred meters gradually feels like flat ground.
Thirty or so people ascended cautiously, with great energy. After walking more than a hundred meters, they hadn’t noticed any movement.
Inside the stronghold, Chen Tianlong had already treated those three men’s injuries, restoring them to normalcy. Although they couldn’t fight, they could move normally.
Huang Lili and the four sisters thanked them briefly, then Tan Xianglan came over and helped each of them up. Chen Tianlong didn’t delay further. Seeing that most people had left the stronghold, he quickly escaped.
So, he and Tan Xianglan led the group, slowly heading towards the stronghold exit. Chen Tianlong also wanted to see how the battle between the police and bandits was unfolding outside.
Under the two’s leadership, the group avoided several places where they nearly got discovered, finally reaching about fifty meters from the stronghold exit.
At this point, they saw two to three hundred people ahead, but they only had about ten guns left.
Tan Xianglan and Chen Tianlong exchanged smiles. If they hadn’t destroyed them in advance, hundreds of guns and countless bombs aimed at the stronghold exit, no matter how brave the police were, they wouldn’t dare approach.
