He tossed the small knife to the ground and said, "While they're distracted, untie the ropes, sneak towards the main gate, and escape when you get the chance! Be careful, don't let them spot you!"
After speaking, Zhang Zhe immediately left them and joined the fray. Because there were so many people, no one paid much attention to who Zhang Zhe was targeting. Thus, when Zhang Zhe secretly fired shots, no one noticed. Even those who noticed Zhang Zhe's intent and wanted to warn others were instantly killed by a single shot from Zhang Zhe.
The sounds of fighting inside immediately alerted those outside, who quickly ordered reinforcements to come in. Seeing more and more people arriving and the battle turning one-sided, Sen Na immediately ordered everyone to fire indiscriminately. Screams of agony echoed continuously as more reinforcements poured in. Sen Na and his men, not wishing to prolong the fight, immediately ordered everyone to retreat to the elevators. Since they were already in the lobby, close to the elevators, by the time people realized their intention, they were already boarding the elevators and heading directly to the top floor. The castle's elevators led straight to the rooftop platform.
Upon seeing this, everyone quickly reported the situation to their superiors. The castle's rooftop was where the helicopters were parked! These were the helicopters that had been sent up during the negotiations to appease Sen Na and his men! There were two helicopters in total, but unfortunately, they had too few people.
As expected, when the elevator reached the top floor, gunshots could soon be heard from above. The eyes of all the supporting Flower Country soldiers were filled with resentment. Some soldiers, upon seeing Sen Na and his men board the elevator, immediately rushed up the stairs. Among them was the squad led by Hei Ying. This was where the benefits of their training became apparent. Hei Ying, in particular, was incredibly fast, scaling seven or eight floors of the castle in just over a minute to reach the rooftop. However, no matter how fast he was, it was already too late by the time he arrived. The few soldiers guarding the helicopters had all fallen in pools of blood.
"Sen Na!!!" Hei Ying's expression was one of extreme anger, clearly showing his deep pain over the sacrifice of his comrades. Once again, he regretted not being skilled enough! If he had the abilities of his younger sister, he could have flown directly to the rooftop!
"Oh, it's an old friend. Hello, Hei Ying. I didn't expect us to meet again so soon!" Sen Na greeted Hei Ying with a smile, his tone full of provocation. He clearly derived pleasure from seeing Hei Ying's pained expression. The two of them had crossed paths two months prior. It was precisely because of that encounter that Sen Na decided to take this risk. He knew Hei Ying was a formidable opponent, as was his entire squad. While he wasn't yet at retirement age, he felt an unprecedented sense of dread, knowing that if Hei Ying and his team continued to grow, he would surely fall into their hands! He never expected that as he prepared for his final grand scheme, he would still encounter Hei Ying, as if he were a persistent shadow!
"Yes, it's been a long time. But don't worry, we'll be seeing each other more often soon!" Hei Ying replied, then immediately aimed his gun at Sen Na. At this moment, his team members also rushed over. Upon seeing Sen Na, their faces were filled with hatred!
"Scum!" Hei Bao muttered, then began scanning his surroundings. On the spacious rooftop, two helicopters were parked. Although helicopters couldn't carry an excessive number of people, at this moment, no one would quibble over minor issues like overloading. This meant that these two helicopters could allow Sen Na to escape with all his subordinates! And those who came to support them hadn't brought any helicopters; they had all arrived by cruise ship!
"Captain..." A team member was about to say something when Hei Ying stopped him, as Sen Na's subordinates were beginning to board the helicopters in an orderly fashion. The windows of the helicopters were wide open, with several guns mounted in each one, their muzzles pointed towards them. Then, just as everyone expected Sen Na to board a helicopter, they saw Sen Na's subordinates holding three Flower Country nationals captive!
It turned out that as Sen Na and his men approached the elevators, they had casually abducted three Flower Country nationals when they passed by that group. Even though they had many opportunities to grab other hostages as they passed, they knew that more hostages would not be as valuable as Flower Country nationals. Therefore, they had captured hostages with a specific purpose!
"Return our people to us!" Hei Ying raised his gun, pointing it directly at Sen Na's head. However, they showed no fear. Instead, they pushed the three Flower Country nationals forward, as if to use them as human shields. Seeing this, everyone on Hei Ying's side silently lowered their gun sights. But then, they suddenly heard the Flower Country nationals shout, "Don't worry about us, make sure they don't get away!"
"Yes, that's right!"
"We're not afraid of death! We Frenchmen are never cowards!"
...
Sen Na, of course, understood what they were saying, and his expression turned ashen.
"Bang!" Sen Na suddenly turned his head and punched the Flower Country national closest to him in the stomach. The man suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.
"Ah! You lunatic! I'll fight you to the death!"
"Trash scum, all of you deserve to die!"
"You damn bastards, you bunch of motherless trash! You deserve to be abandoned by the world!"
"If your mother knew she gave birth to monsters like you, she would have drowned you in a urine bucket the moment you were born!"
...
The other two continued to curse and twist their bodies, trying to help the fallen man, but no matter how much they cursed or struggled, they could not break free from their restraints. Sen Na and his men understood Flower Country language, so hearing their insults, their chests began to heave with anger! Clearly, they were infuriated! Just as they were about to kill them without regard for anything else, an accident suddenly occurred.
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
It was Zhang Zhe, who had been standing behind them, now holding a submachine gun and firing two bursts of bullets directly at the helicopter's propellers!
