Chapter 142
"They... they are coming! Let's go! We have been discovered!"
A Biman who was on guard outside suddenly rushed in covered in blood and shouted.
Both parties who were happily discussing the deal were stunned.
Lin Lai and the other man knew long ago that they were not actually important figures.
People like them whose criminal records and past identities have been erased have no records in official documents, and they have no means to prove their true identities when other departments take action. Only Speaker Yang Siyu and their direct superiors who contact them know who they are.
People like them, to put it nicely, are members of a secret department that walks in the dark for the country. To put it bluntly, they are just thugs who do some shady things for certain people. They are not of much value, and even if they are abandoned, it is not worth a pity.
But Lin Lai didn't expect that the official people would come so quickly!
The two of them were trapped in the enemy camp at this moment. The two sides had just reached an intention to cooperate. There were dozens of people from the Glory Army around them, and hundreds of people would rush in at any time at Rotstein's command... The most important thing was that they still had other missions to complete. They also needed to put some things here and imply some pointed words. Lin Lai knew that this might be to frame someone, but he actually had no choice.
He knew that compared to this transaction, the latter task might be what Speaker Yang Siyu really cared about. So at first he was not too worried that the officials would turn against them before they left safely, but now it seems that he was wrong!
The moment the continuous sound of gunfire rang out, Lin Lai's mind went blank.
——Were we betrayed?
——The so-called more important mission is fake? This mission... is to bury them here in a reasonable way?
——But... why? Why! If you want to kill them, there is no need to go through so much trouble... why? ! !
But the current situation did not allow him to think too much. As the gunshots rang out, someone shouted, "Damn it! They are undercover!"
Swish, swish, swish!
There were suddenly dozens of guns pointed at them, but because there was no order from Rotstein yet, they had not been sieved.
Lin Lai tried to calm down. Although a layer of cold sweat broke out on the back of his neck, he still pretended to be relaxed and even said with a somewhat sarcastic expression: "Please use your brains. If the two of us were undercover, would we put ourselves in this situation now? At least we should wait until we leave before notifying someone to arrest you."
This makes sense, and everyone is not without their own thoughts and judgment. But someone else said: "Our Glory Army base has never been discovered by humans. As soon as you arrived, their people rushed in! If it wasn't you who brought them here, who else could it be?"
This made sense, and everyone's eyes became dangerous again.
"You ask me, how should I know?" Lin Lai sneered, "When we came in, we were under your surveillance the whole time. Everything we have is given by you. Shouldn't you know best whether we sent any information to the outside world or not? Maybe someone is crying thief! He took advantage of our transaction and passed on the location of your base, and even took the opportunity to sabotage our transaction!"
Before he finished speaking, someone secretly looked at the man who had just spoken. It was a man with long ears and a pointy face. He shouted angrily: "You little bastard, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Another fat man with his hands tucked in front of his chest said unhappily: "What's wrong with the turtle? Did the turtle provoke you?"
"I'm not scolding you! Hey, why are you causing trouble?"
"You didn't scold me, did you just say that you were eating shit?"
"Asshole! Are you looking for a fight?"
"Hit me if you want, do you think I'm afraid of you?"
"Gazhaba is not that kind of person. He won't betray us."
"Who knows? Last time I saw him sneaking out."
"Are you doubting your brothers and sisters?"
Lin Lai and Mo Gui watched in amazement as the group of people started quarreling among themselves. Some of them even rolled on the ground and started fighting. They didn't use any weapons, just picked noses, pulled ears, punched and kicked. However, some of the beige used the horns on their heads and the claws on their hands to scratch each other until they were covered in blood. Others were very strong and they beat the ground and walls so hard that they made rumbling sounds. There were even lumps of mud falling from their heads.
When they came in, they saw that these people were well-organized and strictly managed, and they secretly admired them in their hearts. Who knew that just a small conflict would cause such chaos. Obviously, the enemy was in front of them, and the suspect was sitting in front of them, but these people actually beat their own people up because of a quarrel, and they even completely forgot the danger outside.
If there weren't so many enemies around , and if there weren't some sober people who kept their guns pointed at them, Lin Lai felt that even if he took the opportunity to sneak away, those people probably wouldn't notice.
"Stop arguing!" A dark-skinned, tank-like man roared, the buzzing echo almost deafening everyone's ears. He glanced around angrily and shouted, "What are you doing? The government officials are about to come in, and you are still fighting yourselves? Do you all want to die? If you want to die, tell me, and I'll make it happen!"
Everyone was silent, not daring to speak.
The long-eared man, Gazaba, covered his still bleeding nose and said aggrievedly: "They are the ones who slandered me, Bursa, you have to make the decision for me!"
"Shut up, you idiot!"
Bursa slapped Gazaba in the face and he flew out. A stream of blood and several teeth spurted out of his mouth.
After manually silencing Gazaba, Bursa glared at the others and shouted in a deafening voice: "Everyone here is our family! No one is allowed to doubt their family! If anyone dares to say such things again, I will let him taste the power of my fist!"
He glared at Lin Lai and the other man fiercely, then turned to Lacini and Rozstein and said, "Your Highness, Mr. Luo, what should we do now? Should we deal with these two guys first?"
Lin Lai and the other man suddenly tensed up their muscles. If there was really no chance of improvement, they would not just sit there and wait for death.
And...the two most important people here are very close to them.
Without any communication, Lin Lai moved his feet slightly, his toes unconsciously pointed at Rotstein, while Mo Guizhi turned his body slightly towards Lacini. As long as they could successfully capture anyone as a hostage before the other party took action, they might not have no chance of getting out alive.
Rotzstein hesitated for a moment and was about to speak when Hulennar, who was sitting next to him, stood up and said, "Mr. Rotzstein, please listen to me first."
He glanced at Lin Lai, and then said: "It is not clear whether these two people have any problems, but as the first person to contact them, I am willing to trust them. Our top priority now is to move to a safe place, and then discuss the issue of the base location being leaked. If there is really a problem with the two of them, I will kill them myself. But if there is no problem with them... Mr. Luo, we really need the medicines and weapons they have."
During the negotiation, Rotztan looked like a leader who could plan and strategize, but he was a little hesitant when faced with an emergency. It stands to reason that the situation is critical now, and it is right to kill the wrong person and not let him go, but the important thing is that the Glory Army has no shortage of money or daily necessities, but it is very short of more advanced weapons and medicines, and Lin Lai also whispered that he could get him some rare luxury goods. Therefore, Rotztan attached great importance to this transaction and subconsciously did not want to believe that they were undercover agents of the government.
After hearing Hulennar's words, Rotstein immediately leaned towards his opinion, nodded and said, "What Hulennar said makes sense, let's do it! Now no matter what the conflict is, put it aside first, and everyone should prepare to move immediately! Hulennar, you take care of these two people, and evacuate according to the third plan!"
After all, Rotzstein was still somewhat suspicious of Lin Lai and the other two, so he asked Hulennar to take them on a separate route to prevent them and the government officials from chasing after the main force.
"Yes!" Hulennar responded, and at the same time, four or five birdmen came over and surrounded Lin Lai and the other two. In order to facilitate evacuation, they did not tie them up, but kept pointing their weapons at their vital points. Hulennar did not let them see the direction of the large group's evacuation. After receiving the order, he took the two of them and left through a relatively spacious sewer.
Only the first section of this route was relatively spacious and dry, and the rest of the route became narrow and dark, and the water level had risen to knee height, with an intoxicating stench all around, and if you were not careful you would step on some sticky or hard unknown objects. However, escaping was important, so none of them complained, and they just left as quickly as possible to get deeper into the water.
Several people did not dare to turn on the lights, but those bird-like creatures seemed to have the ability to see in the dark, and they could keep up with the team without any instructions. But Lin Lai was miserable. As a real human, his eyes could only see a little bit of vague outline in the darkness. He had no idea if there was a trap ahead or whether he had to turn. He could only stumble forward with Mo Gui half-pulling and half-supporting him. Fortunately, not all the bird-like creatures could see at night, so Hulennar and others did not doubt him because of this.
In the darkness, Lin Lai could only hear the heavy breathing of the people around him, and the sound of people walking in the sewage. The gunshots in the distance could not be heard clearly through the winding sewers, but they were always following him like a shadow. After a pause, it would not be long before the "bang bang bang" sound could be heard again.
Lin Lai knew that they both had locators on their bodies. Their mission was now complete, but the soldiers chasing behind them didn't know them and would not show them mercy, so they still had to run for their lives.
The worst thing was that no matter where they fled, they would be chased soon, unless they could find someone to pick them up and remove the locator from their bodies. But with the shadow of being betrayed in front of them, Lin Lai was not sure whether the person who picked them up was still waiting for them at the agreed place, or whether there was anyone who picked them up at all. He just knew that he would not just accept his fate.
But Lin Lai didn't want to implicate Hulennar.
He placed his fingers on Mo Gui's wrist and tapped it twice. Mo Gui understood what he meant.
When the sound of gunfire approached again and the light could be seen flickering at the other end of the sewer, Mo Gui pulled Lin Lai and Lin Lai pretended to fall down. He had almost fallen down several times before, and the man next to him subconsciously reached out to help him up, but was knocked down by Lin Lai. While the others hadn't reacted yet, Mo Gui hugged Lin Lai with both hands, kicked the wall on the side, and the two of them fell into a pipe next to them.
Several of the men were startled and immediately fired their guns inside, but it was dark and even they couldn't see clearly. In addition, Mo Gui had already aimed at a blind spot, so the bullets "puff puff" went past them, but didn't even touch the corners of their clothes.
The Bi people wanted to charge in, but the soldiers chasing behind heard the gunshots and strode over here. A bomb cleared the way, illuminating the sewer as bright as day. Hulennar and others had no choice but to give up chasing Lin Lai and the others and escape from another sewer.
Mo Gui dragged Lin Lai along, picking narrow and short sewers. Most of the bison couldn't get into such pipes due to their size, so the possibility of encountering bison here was very low. Although the human soldiers could locate their positions, it was always difficult for noble humans to enter such dirty and dark sewers - some places even required crawling through, even for well-trained and disciplined soldiers. Moreover, the soldiers had to guard against sneak attacks in the dark. Therefore, it didn't take long for both sides to distance themselves from each other, and the two finally gained temporary safety.
Lin Lai took Mo Gui to a relatively spacious and clean sewer, where they sat on the ground and took a deep breath. With the faint light coming from the gap in the manhole cover several meters above their heads, the two looked at each other and laughed silently.
When they were escaping, they could only crawl wherever there was dirt, and they didn't even have time to wear protective clothes. The two were now dirty and smelly, their faces couldn't be seen clearly, and they didn't even dare to smile, for fear of accidentally swallowing something dirty.
But no matter what, they have once again successfully survived an almost certain death. As long as they can survive this crisis, the current embarrassment will be the source of their future happiness.
Knowing that there might be more soldiers chasing after them, the two men did not dare to stay any longer. After a short rest, they prepared to continue to escape. At this moment, they heard continuous gunshots and shouts coming from a distance.
Lin Lai and Mo Gui jumped up from the ground at the same time. Just as they were about to get into a pipe next to them, they saw the mouth of another pipe suddenly light up. Then Lacini, with electric light all over his body, ran out from it. When he saw the two of them, he suddenly stopped and looked at each other.
