“Shh… Shh…” Zhao Yu didn’t understand what the man was saying in English but saw that Li Jing once again shushed him. He looked up and saw that she was pointing her gun at the hole above.
Just then, lights and the sound of hurried footsteps came from above.
Zhao Yu’s night vision device didn’t work well when there were lights, so he could not see anything. He shook his head at Li Jing.
In fact, Zhao Yu was thinking about something else. He selected a Signal Amplification Device from his device bar.
He remembered that when he was trapped in the Yinpan county mine, he used this powerful device to contact his colleagues. This time, he used it to ask for support. As long as he could reach his team members and let them know what was happening in the cave, the rescue support team would come in time.
Seeing Zhao Yu shaking his head, Li Jing did not dare to move. She squatted down and took the earphone off the other dead man then put it in her ear to listen.
Li Jing had learned English before. After listening for a while, she appeared to be quite nervous. She quickly made several gestures to Zhao Yu.
However, Zhao Yu was just a policeman. He didn’t understand the gestures used by Secret Service agents, so he had to shrug his shoulders to show that he didn’t know what she meant.
Alas. Li Jing frowned and stopped gesturing. Instead, she crouched down and dragged her numb right leg to approach Xiao Hang, who was lying on the ground. She seemed like she wanted to pull Xiao Hang out of the cave.
However, Li Jing couldn’t use much of her strength as she had been hurt by the needles from earlier. She tried a few times, but only moved Xiao Hang less than half a meter.
Zhao Yu understood what she had meant, then squatted down and dragged Cui Lizhu while she pulled Xiao Hang.
Suddenly, Li Jing pressed down on the two men’s contact devices, then immediately put Xiao Hang down and began to search the two dead bodies on the ground.
At first, Zhao Yu thought that Li Jing was looking for something from the bodies. Then he noticed that Li Jing was trying to make the bodies stand upright.
What the h*ll is she doing? Zhao Yu didn’t understand what Li Jing was trying to do with the corpse.
A noise came from the top of the cave again. Zhao Yu knew that someone was throwing things down again. They had been welcomed with anesthesia-laced needles and smoke bombs. What would it be this time? Grenades?
Wait. As Zhao Yu remembered Li Jing’s nervous look and how she had dragged the two dead bodies, he suddenly understood what she was doing.
He quickly put down Cui Lizhu, then dragged the dead body beside him toward the hole in the ceiling.
With the help of his Invisible Night Vision Device, Zhao Yu saw a black grenade fall from the opening in the cave. As it hit the ground, he immediately threw the body and used it to cover the grenade. After that, Zhao Yu put Cui Lizhu under him and waited for the grenade to explode.
However, it was not a grenade as Zhao Yu thought. The black thing turned out to be a flash bomb.
The flash bomb exploded underneath the dead body and it shot out a dazzling light, giving the body a jolt.
Li Jing had also thought that it was a grenade. She wanted to use the dead body to counteract its explosion to protect Xiao Hang and Cui Lizhu. They hadn’t suspected that it was a flash bomb.
As the leader of the Secret Service, Li Jing understood why they had chosen to use a flash bomb. After they set off the flash bomb, they would forcefully attack.
Knowing this, she immediately put the dead body down, then jumped up with one leg and shot at the hole.
Her gun was armed with a silencer, so there was no shooting sound, only the horrible screaming coming from above the hole.
The next moment, a black shadow fell into the passageway from a high place, landing on a dead body on the cave floor. It let out a miserable cry while falling.
Zhao Yu and Li Jing saw that it was a man in a bulletproof vest with night vision goggles on his face. His equipment was very professional.
Li Jing had shot the man in his foot. There was a hole in his shoe and blood was coming out of it.
The man had a gun in his hand. Although he had fallen, he immediately raised his arm to shoot at Li Jing.
Li Jing didn’t wait for him to act first. She immediately shot the man in the shoulder. The man screamed again and lost his grip on his gun.
Li Jing was going to finish him. Just then, another man came down from the cave. He climbed down using the ropes. As soon as he entered the secret passage, he shot at Li Jing and Zhao Yu.
This man’s gun was also equipped with a silencer, and he was a skilled shooter. When Li Jing saw him, she quickly dodged to one side. When she turned back, she was shocked by what Zhao Yu was doing.
Zhao Yu moved directly toward the man without even attempting to protect himself or dodge any bullets. Zhao Yu’s gun didn’t have a silencer. The banging sound of gunfire was particularly striking in the almost completely enclosed passageway. Bang. Bang. Bang.
The man was not scared as he had a bulletproof vest on. When he saw Zhao Yu coming toward him, he shot at Zhao Yu madly. Zhao Yu returned fire. Both sides immediately began a fierce gunfire duel.
“Ah…” Zhao Yu screamed wildly. Even though he was poor at shooting, there was no possibility that he would miss at such a close distance. At first, he shot the man’s arm and chest. When he rushed to stand in front of him, he hit the man’s night vision goggles. A bullet went through the night vision goggles and hit in between the man’s eyebrows.
“Ah…” Zhao Yu finished him. Then, he yelled and aimed his gun at the man who had come down first.
The man who fell into the cave earlier was totally shocked by Zhao Yu’s fierce gun battle with his accomplice. He looked at Zhao Yu pointing his gun at him, but he didn’t move at all. He was stunned by Zhao Yu’s madness and waited for his death.
However, Zhao Yu’s gun was different from those used by the Secret Service. It had run out of bullets.
He couldn’t even pull the trigger. Huh? The man had thought that he would definitely die. He saw that Zhao Yu had no bullets left. He quickly regained control of himself and tried to fight back.
The fierce shooting had driven Zhao Yu insane. He realized that there were no bullets left, then kicked the man in the face until he was no longer able to fight back.
Suddenly, Zhao Yu heard the sound of guns being loaded above his head. He realized that there were others at the top of the hole. And the sound suggested that he was definitely outnumbered by them.
While Zhao Yu was thinking, they started to shoot down through the hole. Zhao Yu withdrew to one side immediately but lost his grip on his gun as it was hit by a bullet.
At that critical moment, Li Jing shot the man that Zhao Yu had been kicking. She then shouted at Zhao Yu, saying, “Go. They’ll come down in a minute.”
“No way,” Zhao Yu said. He looked around at the ground. Cui Lizhu and Xiao Hang were still unconscious. If he and Li Jing ran, the others would be in danger.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yu took one of them in each of his arms, then quickly ran deeper into the secret passage.
At that moment, the people above were about to come down. The man who had been hit in the foot quickly turned over to lie on the ground and fired at Zhao Yu and Li Jing.
Li Jing shot back quickly. Although she was a good shooter, she didn’t hit him due to the poor visibility in the dark channel. She was only shooting to cover Zhao Yu’s escape.
As Li Jing shot back and Zhao Yu dragged Cui Lizhu and Xiao Hang down the passageway, four people entered through the hole at the top of the chamber.
These four men were fully armed. They had miniature submachine guns with them. As soon as they came into the secret passage, they shot at everyone they saw without hesitation.
