We walked down a corridor and saw a photo of the Blood King on the wall. He was flanked by two beautiful women, but they were all dressed as beasts. The colors in the picture were chaotic, giving it an abstract feel. As we passed, a vase rolled towards us with a thud. I intended to kick it away, but Du Wantian pulled me back, saying, "Be careful!"
Then, she and Liu Yuning forcefully pulled me backward. The vase sprayed a lot of smoke!
"Have this!"
"How did you get it?"
"Hehe, He Bailing and He Jinghui are fine. We actually colluded. However, we still don't have enough people. If we attack directly, we'll definitely die, young master."
"I understand, so we must rescue them first."
"SWAT, Armed Police, Criminal Police, and the Punishment Squad. The people involved in this operation have been imprisoned in various corners of the island. But I only know the location of the SWAT team is at the northern lumber mill," Du Wantian said.
"Whose intelligence is this?"
"Your sister's."
Without a map, we had no idea where we were. We searched the hotel everywhere. Fortunately, there were no men in black here. We found a map of Zhenshui Island in a conference room on the first floor.
To get things done, we had to understand our surroundings first, as using drones was impossible here, and there was no signal for the internet. We could only rely on the map.
Holding the map, we got a basic understanding of Zhenshui Island's layout. It marked various areas, from the lumber mill to smaller places like bars or supermarkets. I wondered what this hotel used to be to have such a detailed map. Could it be that the island had long been their territory, and they had established another nation, independent of the outside world?
Perhaps this was what they meant by the world collapsing, with another world taking control?
As I pondered, Yuning and Du Wantian were thinking along the same lines. We took the map and searched the hotel again. Fortunately, our equipment was still there. After checking, Liu Yuning said, "It's time for us to fight back! Let's rescue people first!"
"Yes!"
Du Wantian and I replied in unison. Looking out at the dark night, our current location was not far from Li Fan and the others. If we attacked the lumber mill now, He Bailing and the others would surely cooperate. Opportunity knocks but once!
We cautiously headed north. Along the way, we encountered many patrolling men in black, but we hid in the bushes and behind mountain walls, carefully making our way past. As we approached the lumber mill, Liu Yuning took out the binoculars, which we had found earlier in the hotel.
We overlooked the lumber mill situation from a high vantage point. After Yuning looked, I took the binoculars. To my surprise, the organization's guards were very strict. There were four sniper posts and a helicopter platform. Many men in black and mercenaries patrolled the corridors. It looked like the lumber mill had four floors.
My God, they even had a helicopter. Wouldn't they have tanks too...
As I was lost in thought, I noticed the front gate of the lumber mill suddenly opened. A truck, carrying something unknown, arrived in front of the factory. Many people from the factory came out and began to inspect the truck. Liu Yuning was about to say something, but I reacted first and whispered, "Sister?"
"What?"
"The person driving the truck is sister!"
"Ah, could it be..."
"It seems they plan to infiltrate first. Let's coordinate with them from the inside!"
"Okay!" Du Wantian and Liu Yuning became excited. After the truck drove in, we had already circled around to the back of the lumber mill. There was a strange door here, probably the back entrance, and it was quite low. I thought that with my sister's skills, she would send a signal from the inside later, and then we could launch our attack.
As expected, about 10 minutes later, a loud explosion suddenly came from the center of the lumber mill. Instantly, thick smoke filled the entire lumber mill, followed by the sounds of swords clashing and chopping!
"Sister has made her move! Let's go! Liu Yuning, Du Wantian, it's time for us now!"
We shouted and kicked open the back door of the lumber mill, weapons in hand. Many mercenaries were covered in smoke, and we had entered by surprise. The moment we pulled the trigger, countless mercenaries didn't even know what was happening before they were shot in the head!
At this point, there was no time to think about arresting criminals. They were desperate fugitives. Given our current situation, we could only eliminate some of them.
After taking down a few mercenaries, I saw my sister fighting with hundreds of mercenaries. I wanted to go and help, but my sister yelled, "Don't worry about me! Li Fan and a hundred SWAT officers are on the third floor!!"
"Sister, be careful!"
I, along with Liu Yuning and Du Wantian, rushed upstairs. Mercenaries and men in black kept coming down. We shot everyone we saw. While reloading, someone provided cover in front. By the time we captured a light machine gun, we mowed down everyone in our path. We reached the second floor, but there, someone was tied up, waiting for us.
Li Fan!!
Li Fan was like a wild beast, bound and thrown into a huge fish tank. He was wearing a diving suit, but the oxygen in his tank seemed to be running out.
"This is bad! Let's save him quickly!"
At that moment, I really wanted to smash the fish tank, but as I took a step forward, I found water in front of me, and there was an electric current flowing through it. Liu Yuning pulled me hard, or I would have stepped right into it. Although our shoes were specially made, we would still feel uncomfortable if the current was too strong. Moreover, I realized at this moment that my shoes had been replaced, likely by the organization when they took us away.
But why would they take our shoes and not our weapons? I saw that my clothes had also been changed, except for my police ID and gun. It was as if they had deliberately done this, leaving us a sliver of hope, and wanting to watch us resist?
If we had no weapons, resistance would be unlikely. Given Huan Hefeng's personality, he probably didn't want to completely annihilate us, preferring to keep something fun for later to torture us slowly.
If he really thought that, he was too naive. But the fact that my shoes had been replaced made me realize he was tormenting us in another way. Du Wantian discovered a switch nearby and pulled the lever. A heavy creaking sound echoed.
