Chapter 589 Timely rescue I?
Ling Qingyu narrowed her eyes in deep thought and flashed out a sledgehammer from her bracelet. Holding it tightly, she swung it against the nearby wall, smashing pieces of building blocks. Tang Ziyi noticed her actions and shook her head. Even with their strength, they might have to strike several times to carve out half of the wall.
Indeed, Ling Qingyu struck several times before giving up, managing to carve out nearly half the wall. Tang Ziyi radioed amidst the roar of .50 caliber gunfire. "You better save your energy. The wall isn't like those in ordinary houses. Not to mention, some bastards have installed a machine gun nest at the entrance. The safety measures are way overboard."
"Give me two more minutes, and I can blow this wall," Ling Qingyu retorted.
"We don't have two more minutes. The longer we waste, the more dangerous it becomes for our packages," Tang Ziyi said. She then inched her steps toward the entrance and threw a shock grenade.
Boom!@@@@
The noise died down instantly, leaving behind a few choking and coughing sounds. Tang Ziyi peeked slightly with her rifle and fired a couple of shots at a suspected machine gun position while advancing.
Ling Qingyu withdrew the hammer and followed suit, sustaining her own shots. Both of them had difficulty seeing clearly.
Due to the previous automatic large-caliber fire and grenade explosion, dust filled the air, and darkness followed after the destruction, which had shut down the building's electrical components. Even with bright flashlights, visibility was limited; night vision devices were practically useless.
Besides, Tang Ziyi and Ling Qingyu weren't foolish enough to reveal their positions with flashlight use.
"Oh, I almost forgot—my invention," Tang Ziyi chuckled and instructed, "Switch to thermal mode."
She clicked a button somewhere on her NVGs. Ling Qingyu didn't know the location and asked, "Where?"
Tang Ziyi didn't answer, but Athena provided the complete instructions. Afterward, both recovered their vision and had a clear line of sight.
They especially noted the bright-hot machine gun, Dishka, and the gunner, who had evidently recovered from the explosion and resumed firing.
Although Tang Ziyi's and Ling Qingyu's blind fire had suppressed a few defenders, the defenders regained their courage as the shots weren't accurate.
Unfortunately for them, life is unpredictable. Ling Qingyu and Tang Ziyi quickly eliminated every enemy and cleared the floor.
Both sighed in relief that no innocent figures were hurt. Regarding the stray bullets fired by the machine gunner to keep them from entering the main doors, they could only hope no one was injured.
They discovered the main electrical box in the building. Ling Qingyu threw a grenade into the room and ran after Tang Ziyi.
Soon, an explosion rang out, and the lights dimmed before a complete blackout. Darkness was their advantage, and they wouldn't give up as long as they had the means to cut off the electricity.
She was saved temporarily but met another devil. The man, a young master from a warlord family, had taken an interest in her after his subordinates suspected she might be an undercover agent.
Of course, an ordinary undercover agent wouldn't attract such attention, but if she were from the police or military, an authoritative organization, he wouldn't mind "playing."
Naturally, he orchestrated a scene to interrogate her for information, even injecting drugs to arouse her, which explained why she appeared to moan and long for contact.
Even a strong will could deteriorate under the influence of drugs and provocative actions.
Around the bed, except for the imprisoned man, several men watched with delight. There was also a foreign woman with blonde hair and green eyes, wearing minimal clothing meant to heighten men's desires and seduce their souls.
However, she turned her gaze away, biting her lip. Just as the imprisoned man roared helplessly and the foreign woman sighed at another woman's grim fate, a massive firefight broke out below, halting the young master, who had already dragged the woman's body to the edge of the bed and spread her legs.
This merely annoyed him, prompting him to scold his subordinates. "What are these men doing? Get answers. Tell them that if they don't satisfy my questions, they'll be digging mines for the rest of their lives."
His subordinates shuddered with fear, and two of them left to investigate. The gunfire and ongoing fight at the city outskirts had already been noted, but the young master wasn't too worried.
With heavy protection around the perimeter, he assumed no one could breach it unnoticed, even if communications were disrupted. They had runners to relay news.
He believed that perhaps a few guards had relaxed and allowed some infiltrators to cause chaos. He thought he had time to continue and didn't expect his father's soldiers to fail.
However, he underestimated Spirit Fox's capabilities and the impact of superhumans in battle.
An explosion interrupted him again. This time, the room shook from the force, and he was frightened, his libido completely gone. His interest waned. Enjoy new chapters from My Virtual Library Empire
When the electricity went out, he realized something more significant was coming. Just as expected, the two men who had left on his orders rushed back, shouting for everyone to evacuate, as the building couldn't hold much longer.
With his men's help, he quickly dressed and prepared to flee. Meanwhile, the foreign woman, still standing, and the imprisoned man, who gained a little freedom despite still being handcuffed due to the sudden developments and had darted toward his companion on the bed, sighed in relief.
Yet, the young master paused before leaving. "Hey, since our attackers are rushing here, doesn't that mean you two are on their rescue list? Imagine what their faces would look like if they found their targets dead. Finish them off."
One of his subordinates drew a handgun and aimed at the couple, but a figure blocked his line of sight.
"Sophia! What do you think you're doing?!"
"Young master...I..I" the foreign woman bit her lip.
