‘1 Sit tight, 11 m reversing now!”
Lin Yi was so nervous that his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
There was a roadblock in front of the alley. Once he drove out, his tires would explode. One could only imagine the outcome.
The only way to avoid this was to reverse the car and go back. He couldn’t lose the car until he was sure he was safe.
“I’m ready!”
Lin Yi put the car in reverse and stepped hard on the accelerator.
The Raptor’s engine roared again. White smoke appeared under the tires, indicating that the car was going to die of old age, even without any external reason.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Because he was in reverse, Lin Yi’s vision was blocked. Zhou Liang fired a few more shots behind him, trying to cover for him.
However, the enemy’s firepower became even more ferocious. Zhou Liang’s cover was almost useless.
Lin Yi ducked his head low and could only drive by feeling.
“F*ck!”
Seeing Lin Yi reverse the car back, the pursuers cursed and retreated.
If they were crushed by such a big car, they would be crippled even if they didn’t die.
Soon, Lin Yi returned the car to the original road.
There were still a large number of soldiers on the street, wearing different uniforms, all pointing their guns at Lin Yi.
From the corner of his eye, Lin Yi saw an alley of the same size twenty meters ahead, but it was behind the crowd.
He had to rush over!
“Boss, can the car hold on?”
“Definitely not.” Lin Yi said.
“How much oil is left in the barrel?”
“There’s nothing left.”
“Listen to my instructions later. Light it up.”
“Huh?”
Zhou Liang was stunned. “Did you tell me to light it up inside the car?”
“That’s right.”
Lin Yi didn’t say anything else and continued to accelerate!
BANG!
An explosion sounded!
The tires were shot and the car lost control in an instant. It spun several times on the spot!
Lin Yi gritted his teeth. After stepping on the brakes, he forcefully gained control of the car and rushed towards the crowd in front!
The people who came to surround him didn’t expect Lin Yi to be so brave. He hadn’t given up even in this state!
Left with no choice, the people in front of him scattered to the side.
Lin Yi rushed off the road and turned towards the path ahead. At the same time, he shouted at Zhou Liang,
“Light it up!”
At this moment, Zhou Liang had already disregarded his life.
After hearing Lin Yi’s order, he lit the gasoline can immediately.
Although there was not much gasoline left in the car, it was still set ablaze. Even the car was on fire.
At the same time, Lin Yi and Zhou Liang escaped, but the big guy under them died of old age as its completed its mission.
The burning Raptor blocked the entrance of the alley, forming a natural barrier.
This also created an opportunity for Lin Yi and Zhou Liang to run into the alley. “Boss, run quickly. I’ll cover for you from behind.”
“Bullsh*t!” LinYi scolded, “You’re working under me, how could I let you stay behind! Run!”
Lin Yi grabbed Zhou Liang’s arm and pulled him behind him.
“Get the f*ck out of here!”
Zhou Liang gritted his teeth and ran forward. After a round of gunfire, Lin Yi caught up to him from behind and said loudly,
“There’s a manhole cover in front. Open it and hide inside!”
While facing manhole cover, the two of them stuck their fingers into it and instantly opened it.
“Boss, jump first. I’ll cover for you this time!”
“Do you want me to dance a few times first? Get the f*ck down.”
Lin Yi didn’t care too much. He kicked Zhou Liang into the sewer.
Zhou Liang reacted quickly and grabbed the ladder on one side.
The silt below was like a swamp. If one fell in, it would be difficult to climb back up.
Immediately following, Lin Yi also descended, grabbing the maintenance handlebars and closing the manhole cover behind him.
The entire sequence was executed smoothly, taking no more than five seconds.
A foul stench hit them in the face, which would have made anyone else feel nauseous.
But in such a life-or-death moment, finding even a brief respite felt like a new lease on life for the two of them.
Just then, shouts echoed from above their heads.
This was followed by hurried footsteps.
From these details, Lin Yi estimated that at least twenty to thirty people pa.s.sed over their hiding spot.
Suddenly, they noticed the light in the sewer dim.
When they realized that the manhole cover was being stepped on, their hearts couldn’t help but beat faster, and their expression became nervous.
“Where did they go? They just came in. Where have they gone?!”
“I’m sure that they haven’t gone far. They must be hiding somewhere. As long as we search this area, we’ll definitely be able to find them!”
“Seal off this place first. I believe they won’t have gone far!”
The hearts of the two people under the manhole cover pounded like thunder, almost jumping out of their throats.
They had lived for more than 20 years, but they had never been so nervous.
As time pa.s.sed, the people standing on the manhole lid still hadn’t left. They could hear their own hearts beating violently.
Suddenly, sunlight seeped through the hole in the manhole cover again, and the footsteps gradually faded away.
Both of them heaved a sigh of relief.
To them, these long minutes were like several springs, summers, autumns, and winters.
However, it was not the seasons that changed, but life and death.
The two of them felt relieved. Even though the air didn’t smell good, they felt like they smelled a hint of sweetness.
After a few more minutes, there was no sound from above. Zhou Liang whispered,
“Boss, we can’t contact Boss Liu now, right?”
Lin Yi’s lips curled into a strange smile.
“Of course.” Lin Yi said.
“Give them a fake location and we’ll have a chance to catch our breath.”
Zhou Liang’s eyes lit up.
According to his previous guess, there was a mole in the Central Guards Brigade.
If he reported a fake location, it would attract the attention of these people, and he would be safe for the time being.
“Boss, you’re the best. I suspect that you have a 16-core CPU in your head.”
“Alright, stop talking nonsense. Send the message first. Otherwise, the two of us will die from the stench.”
“Sure thing.”
Zhou Liang took out his phone from his pocket.
However, the moment they took out their phones, both of them were stunned.
In the conflict just now, the phone screen had shattered again. It was impossible to use it again.
“What the f*ck!”
Lin Yi cursed. He was really unlucky this time.
Shaking his head helplessly, Lin Yi touched the ore wrapped around his body.
Everything would be okay as long as they still had it.
But Lin Yi couldn’t give a clear answer as to what to do next.
