At that moment, Zhao Yu realized that he had been wrong. In his hear he blamed himself. He had a premonition of danger but had failed to pay attention to it and now they were in trouble.
However, there was one thing Zhao Yu couldn’t understand. Why did the two men dare to expose themselves here?
The Secret Service was different from the police. In a short time, the passage would be surrounded by Secret Service agents. No matter who the two men were, they were undoubtedly seeking their death by doing this. This was really unreasonable.
Also, if this was where the Japanese buried their treasure, why did the men lead Zhao Yu and the others here? This didn’t make sense. If they had realized that someone was on their trail, they should lead them somewhere else, not to the secret passage.
At that moment, through the thick and choking smoke, Zhao Yu saw two tall men coming from a deep corner of the passageway. They had guns with them and wore gas masks on their faces.
Zhao Yu’s body had been cleared of all the anesthetics that had entered his system, and the smoke was unable to hurt him. Zhao Yu could shoot at the men.
However, there were two of them. Zhao Yu was not confident with his shooting, so he didn’t dare to make a sound. He planned to wait for them to come closer before he attacked.
Zhao Yu thought of something else. Neither the anesthesia-laced needles or the smoke that stunned the others were meant to kill anyone. It seemed that the mysterious enemies didn’t want to take their lives. He was very curious about what they were planning.
Soon, a flashlight was turned on, and the two men came to carefully check the people lying on the ground. Zhao Yu now saw them clearly. Judging from their clothes, they were the two suspects who had been driving the pickup truck earlier. However, because they were wearing gas masks, Zhao Yu was not sure if they were the missing Tian brothers.
“Do you copy? Do you copy? Confirm connection…” As they came closer, one of them covered his ear and said something into an earpiece. He was trying to contact his accomplices.
As the first man spoke, the other man bent down and began checking Cui Lizhu, who was unconscious.
Although he wore a gas mask, Zhao Yu could still hear the man’s words clearly. “Target confirmed, target confirmed.”
“Good. The connection has been restored. The target is confirmed.” The man touched his earphone, waved, and ordered, “Let’s get out of here.”
After that, he immediately bent down to move Cui Lizhu. It seemed that he wanted to put her on his shoulder.
At the same time, the person who gave the first order looked at Zhao Yu, who was faking unconsciousness, then reached for Xiao Hang. This man had great strength. He grabbed Xiao Hang by the shoulder and turned him over.
Xiao Hang, like Cui Lizhu, was unconscious due to the anesthesia-laced needles.
Suddenly, as the man was turning Xiao Hang over, something unexpected happened. There was a sharp air-breaking sound that came from above. Blood burst out of the neck of the man who was about to lift Cui Lizhu. He didn’t even make a sound before he was shot down.
Ah. The other man was shocked. He had been trying to take out his gun to fight back when white smoke suddenly burst from his chest. He was hit by several bullets and fell to the ground.
The next second, Li Jing, who had been under Xiao Hang, suddenly jumped up. She took the gas mask from the man with unmatched speed and put it on herself. After putting on the gas mask, she gasped heavily for air and her chest heaved violently.
Amazing! Zhao Yu was shocked. Li Jing hadn’t had an Invisible Respirator like him. However, she managed to hold her breath for a long time.
After getting the gas mask on, Li Jing shouted. “Everyone!”
Zhao Yu noticed that the guy who had been shot in the chest and taken off the gas mask just now was not dead. He might be wearing a bulletproof vest. He moved his body quietly. It looked like he wanted to attack Li Jing from behind.
Dam*! Zhao Yu knew that he could not just wait and watch it happen. He quickly turned over and jumped up. He needed to finish the man before he did anything harmful to Li Jing.
To Zhao Yu’s surprise, although Li Jing was not facing him, she had a strong sense of awareness. She barely moved, shooting her pistol from under her armpit and hitting the man in the neck.
After two shots the man was dead.
However, Zhao Yu, who had already got up, could not stop moving immediately. So, when Li Jing looked back to check on the man, she saw that Zhao Yu was waving his gun awkwardly at the dead man’s body on the ground.
“You?” Li Jing looked at Zhao Yu. Sounding surprised she asked, “Zhao Yu? Are you ok?”
“I… Um…” Looking at the dead body on the ground, Zhao Yu felt embarrassed. He couldn’t help but exclaim, “You are so cool!”
Li Jing didn’t know how Zhao Yu was able to talk to her now. Because the smoke in the secret passage hadn’t dispersed, she quickly took off the other dead man’s gas mask and handed it to him. “Put it on. The smoke is poisonous,” she said.
After passing the gas mask to Zhao Yu, Li Jing took out her cellphone. After she tried making a call a few times, she realized that there was no signal.
“D*mn it. It’s blocked.” Li Jing touched her earphone, shook her head and said, “Zhao Yu, we are ambushed. We have to find a way to get out.”
As she spoke, Li Jing lost her balance. She fell toward the opposite wall. Eh? However, Zhao Yu didn’t offer her a helping hand. After Li Jing hit the wall, she held out her arms to support herself, so she did not completely fall to the ground.
Li Jing gave a painful “Ouch”, then turned on the phone’s flashlight to check her right leg. She saw several needles stuck in it.
Unexpectedly, after she pulled out the anesthesia-laced needles from her leg, several ropes came down from the hole.
Li Jing pointed her gun at the ropes. Since the needles and the smoke bombs had come from above, she thought that their enemies were coming down from the ropes.
Zhao Yu thought for a moment and seemed to understand something. Thinking about the ropes and what the men had said before, he realized that the enemies’ target was not him or the Secret Service. Their only target was Cui Lizhu.
Li Jing made a shushing gesture. Then, she turned off her phone’s flashlight, squatted down, and looked up at the hole. She aimed her gun at the hole and was ready to shoot.
The passageway was in total darkness again. Zhao Yu had his Invisible Night Vision Device, so he could still see things clearly. Just as he looked down, he heard an earphone buzzing from the ear of one of the dead bodies as if someone was talking to it.
He squatted down quickly and put the earphone in his ear. Someone was speaking through the earphone in English.
Zhao Yu raised his eyebrows. What the f*ck is this?
