Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

Chapter 528: The brave one wins when we meet on a narrow road

The five people began to evacuate the tunnel, one step deep and one step shallow, and each step seemed extremely heavy. The tunnel was dark and damp, and the air was filled with the smell of dirt and decay, which made people feel depressed.

On the other side, Kang Ming and five or six members of the Military Control Commission fled to the entrance of the tunnel in a panic. Their faces were full of fear and panic. The gunfight just now had caused them heavy losses, and now they only wanted to escape from this dangerous place as soon as possible.

"Chief, what should we do? Once the gunshots are heard, the garrison in the city will soon come here to search!" said one of his men anxiously.

Kang Ming was panting, his eyes revealing determination and resoluteness. He pondered for a moment and then said, "The garrison in the city couldn't have known about the existence of the tunnel in advance. The people we just encountered are most likely northern bandits. We have nowhere to retreat, so we can only fight our way out!"

"Director, we listen to you!" Others expressed their support.

The group once again carefully groped their way deeper into the tunnel, taking every step with extreme caution. They knew that any carelessness could expose their whereabouts and bring about greater danger.

Half an hour later, Zhu Feng and his companions finally appeared in a dilapidated temple outside the city. This was the exit of the tunnel outside the city and the end point of their operation.

"Team leader! Biaozi and I will stay here. If the enemy dares to chase us, we will guard the exit and kill them one by one!" Wang Jie said confidently.

Zhu Feng frowned and looked at Wang Jie, took a deep breath, and nodded: "The other side may have a lot of people, you must be careful."

At this moment, there was a sudden movement in the tunnel. Kang Ming and others also came to the exit of the tunnel. They carefully stuck their heads out and looked around.

Wang Jie sneered when he heard the noise below. He called Biaozi and Erniu together, lifted a huge stone, and pushed it down the steps at the exit.

The stone rolled in the narrow tunnel, making a dull sound. Kang Ming and others heard the sound and their faces suddenly changed. They wanted to dodge, but it was too late. The stone hit one of the men hard, knocking him to the ground. Others also screamed and fled in all directions, but in this narrow tunnel, their movements were greatly restricted.

Wang Jie held his breath and listened attentively to every movement coming from the tunnel below. His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he could see through the thick soil and peek at the situation at the other end of the tunnel. After a while, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he had made a decision.

"Biaozi, Erniu, there are not many people below us. Do you dare to fight with me?" he said in a deep voice.

Biaozi and Erniu looked at each other, with a hint of excitement and fighting spirit in their eyes. They had long been eager to have a big fight, and when they heard Wang Jie's words, they were immediately cheered up.

"Let's go! Kill them!" Biaozi spoke first, his voice full of confidence and heroism.

The three of them moved quickly and jumped into the tunnel nimbly. They shuttled through the narrow tunnel like three lightning bolts and quickly approached the people from the Military Control Department.

At this time, the military control department was still in a panic, and they had not expected a sudden attack from above. They tried to find cover in a hurry, but it was too late.

Wang Jie and his two companions took advantage of the situation and launched an attack. The sound of gunfire rang out in the narrow tunnel like thunder, deafening. Every bullet was like the sickle of the god of death, ruthlessly harvesting lives.

The members of the Military Control Department panicked under the sudden attack and fled everywhere, trying to find a chance to escape. However, in this narrow tunnel, it was difficult for them to find a suitable shelter and they could not effectively hide or fight back.

After a fierce battle, the tunnel regained its brief calm. The troops from the Military Control Commission were obviously caught off guard. They hurriedly left behind several bodies of their companions, and Kang Ming fled in panic with his only remaining subordinate.

Wang Jie walked over to a military elite and saw that the elite's legs and shoulders were shot through by bullets, and his clothes were stained with blood. He was lying in the tunnel, screaming miserably, and seemed extremely painful and desperate.

"Erniu!" Wang Jie turned around and shouted, "Take him back and hand him over to the team leader for interrogation. Remember, be careful if he struggles, his companions should not be simple."

Erniu responded and stepped forward to carefully help the injured military elite up. Although the other party was in great pain, Erniu tried to remain calm and cautious to avoid a sudden counterattack from him.

"Biaozi, let's chase them!" Wang Jie said to another companion.

The two quickly packed up their weapons and equipment and prepared to set off again. The four or five bodies scattered in the tunnel made them feel cold. The strong smell of blood filled the entire tunnel, making people feel nauseous and uncomfortable.

Wang Jie and Biaozi chased Kang Ming closely. The darkness and twists and turns of the tunnel made the chase extremely difficult. However, the two gradually closed the distance with Kang Ming by virtue of their familiarity with the terrain.

Kang Ming was extremely anxious, knowing that if he was caught up, the consequences would be disastrous. He ran forward desperately, but the wound on his calf made him stagger and his speed slowed down.

Just when he was about to be caught up, the man next to Kang Ming decided to stay and block the enemy to buy time for Kang Ming to escape.

"Director, you go first, I will stop them!" said the subordinate firmly.

Kang Ming glanced at the subordinate, with a hint of gratitude and guilt in his eyes. He knew what it meant for the subordinate to stay, but he had no choice but to nod and agree.

"Be careful and come back alive!" Kang Ming said, then turned around and continued to escape.

Soon, Wang Jie and Biaozi caught up with the man. A fierce gunfight broke out between the two sides. The sound of gunfire continued in the tunnel, deafening.

Although the subordinate was brave, he was soon put on the defensive in the face of the joint attack of Wang Jie and Biaozi. He ran out of bullets and could only passively dodge the attacks of the two.

Wang Jie saw this and decisively seized the opportunity, poked his head out from behind the cover and fired a shot. The bullet accurately hit the chest of the subordinate, and he immediately fell to the ground without moving.

After dealing with this men, Wang Jie turned to look at Biaozi. Biaozi had just been shot in the ribs by Kang Ming's men. At this moment, his face was pale, his whole body was shaking, and he kept gasping for breath.

"Biaozi! How are you!"

"Go after him! I can take care of myself! Go now!"

Biaozi gritted his teeth and urged Wang Jie, who nodded and chased after him again.

Soon, Wang Jie saw Kang Ming's limping figure. Wang Jie raised the gun, aimed at Kang Ming's thigh and prepared to pull the trigger.

Two empty gunshots were heard. It turned out that Wang Jie's pistol had run out of bullets, but he himself did not notice.

At this moment, Kang Ming, who heard the noise in front, turned around and sneered.

"Have you run out of bullets? Now it's my turn!" Kang Ming said, pulling the trigger.

But unexpectedly, Kang Ming's gun was out of bullets. Kang Ming was stunned for a moment, obviously he did not expect this to happen. He quickly stepped back and pulled out the spare magazine from his waist, ready to replace it.

Wang Jie seized the opportunity and pounced on him quickly.
