Chapter 1 On the Mountain Road

On the mountain road, in the last vehicle of the off-road convoy.

Lu Feng sat in the driver's seat, his hands clenched tightly on the steering wheel. Hearing the gunfire behind him cease, he immediately burst into a furious tirade, "I told you, the people from the Code Farmers Association are completely untrustworthy! That Gu Baisun is an even more opportunistic little weasel than his dad! Dozens of people, and they couldn't even hold out for three seconds before being overrun. This is clearly just going through the motions!"

"Damn it!" Yu Mingyuan glanced back at the rear of the car and said immediately, "No, we'll take ten people and get out of the car, up the hillside to block them?"

"Don't panic, don't panic!" Su Tianyu roared, "It's not that Gu Baisun is faking it; it's just that their capabilities are no match for a private armed force. What kind of equipment do they have? Machine guns, pickups with bulletproof steel plates, long-range covering fire. What does Gu Baisun have? They're lucky if they have a few people who know how to use automatic rifles."

"The problem is, if they can't stop them, we definitely won't be able to escape." Lu Feng glanced at the rearview mirror. "The road back is too long. If we keep going like this, we'll be stuck sooner or later and won't be able to reach the village."

"I'll figure something out. Just drive steadily." Su Tianyu lowered his head, picked up another phone, and dialed a number.

While waiting for the call to connect, Su Tianyu patted Lu Feng on the shoulder and explained softly, "I'm not letting you go to block them for your own good. Gu Baisun and the others were directly knocked down five people in the first exchange. If you go, the result will be the same."

Lu Feng nodded slowly, "I know what you mean, but I just think that Gu Baisun is up to no good...!"

"Wait a second, Feng-ge, the call's connected." Su Tianyu interrupted and immediately asked into the phone, "Are you in position?"

"I am." A man's voice came from the phone.

"Two requests: first, ensure your own safety; second, do everything possible to hinder the enemy's pursuit speed." Su Tianyu said concisely.

"Okay, no problem." The other party replied.

After the two ended the call, Yu Mingyuan turned to look at Su Tianyu and asked, "Who is this now? Someone from Lao Hei?"

"It's the guy I saved before." Su Tianyu leaned close to Yu Mingyuan's ear and said in a low voice.

Yu Mingyuan was slightly stunned, "I'm really impressed by you. You can develop anyone, use anyone."

...

On the mountain road behind them.

Wang Zhen's armed pickups, relying on their powerful engines and strong all-terrain capabilities, had closed the distance with Su Tianyu's convoy again after less than five minutes of pursuit. The distance between the two sides was no more than two hundred meters. Although they couldn't see each other due to the terrain, they could hear the roar of the other's engines.

On a hillside.

A young man squatted behind a large rock, overlooking the mountain road, motionless.

Opposite the young man's position were two diverging small rivers, the water flowing towards the low-lying areas, the sound of the water gurgling pleasantly.

A few seconds later, the roar of the pickup truck engines slowly approached. The young man sniffed and began to wrap electronic wires frantically with his left hand.

In a few breaths, the pickup truck convoy roared past and instantly arrived at the position below him.

"Whoosh!"

The young man suddenly yanked the electronic wire, bent over, and started to run.

"Zizz!"

Blinding sparks flashed on the mountainside wall, disappearing in an instant, followed by the deafening sound of an explosion of shattered rocks echoing through the night.

"Rumble!"

The lower part of the mountainside wall looked as if it had been punched out from within by a giant, with countless stones of all sizes either flying up or rolling down, instantly filling the narrow mountain road.

A pickup truck that was speeding along was instantly hit by a huge rock and overturned into the creek on the left side of the road. The soldiers in the car were all stunned. Before they could react, the rolling rocks buried them in an instant.

Miserable screams echoed through the mountain road, and all the cars behind, which were speeding along, braked urgently, but due to the short distance between the vehicles, there were still small-scale rear-end collisions.

In the central position of the pickup truck convoy, a middle-aged man roared, "Damn it, they have demolition experts! Get out of the cars, clear the road for me, push away the small ones, smash the big ones with machine guns, hurry!"

Seven or eight soldiers from the private armed force jumped out of the cars, carrying guns, ready to start clearing the road.

"Boom!"

Another loud noise, another explosion occurred about fifty meters ahead, and the same thing happened again: rocks slid down from the mountainside and piled up on the road.

In the darkness, the young man who detonated the explosives continued to run away after dealing with the second blast point.

Under the soft moonlight, the young man's face gradually became clear. He was none other than the only survivor of the mine disaster, and also the son of Uncle Jiu, miner number 0597.

During the botanical garden incident, this demolition warrior became famous in one battle, and Su Tianyu, pitying his background and experiences, finally persuaded Jin Maohui, a subordinate of Lao Li, and saved this person through an explosion.

Uncle Jiu's son's real name was Tang Yao. He spent a long time recovering from his injuries outside the district after he was rescued. Su Tianyu also brought him along the last time he went to Alan Town, but because of the sudden turn of events, he was ultimately not used.

Tang Yao owed Su Tianyu a life because of the mine disaster, and his younger sister Tang Jiahui also needed the care of the union, and in addition, he had a major case on his back and had nowhere to go himself, so he was successfully developed by Su Tianyu. That's why Yu Mingyuan would say that Su Tianyu can really use anyone and fool anyone.

The biggest advantage of a demolition warrior is blasting mines and mountains. This trick is used to block the enemy's pursuit, it can be said that a long spear is used to poke a long hole, which is very seamless.

The demolition section that Tang Yao chose had a mountainside wall on the right and a flowing small river on the left, so that once the rocks slid down, the other party's pickup truck convoy would not be able to pass through in a short time.

On the road, the officer who was directing the clearing of the rocks heard Kang Zhengzhong's voice on the intercom.

"What's the situation?!"

"The mountainside wall has been blown up, and we can't get through. The other side even has a warrior who knows precision directional blasting. This is simply not something that ordinary coast guard members can do." The officer cursed, his mentality collapsing. "The angle of the rockslide at the blast point is not something even our soldiers can do."

"Then don't clear the road!" Kang Zhengzhong immediately roared, "He's blasting in front, and you're clearing in the back, isn't that always being passive?! You'll be dragged to death like this! The operator can't be too far away from the mountain road. Quickly send people along the mountainside wall to search forward. You'll catch up with him soon."

"I understand...!"

"Forget it, I don't need you, you clear the road, I'll send someone up." Kang Zhengzhong replied, then immediately grabbed the intercom and shouted, "Group Two, enter the hillside, quickly clear the obstacles along the mountainside wall!"

Three minutes later, gunshots echoed on the hillside.

Demolition warrior Tang Yao used small blast points to injure two of the enemy before quickly fleeing, "Little Yu-ge... I... I can't shoot a gun, they're coming for me, I have to go!"

"You retreat, you retreat, we've stalled for about the right amount of time." Su Tianyu looked down at his watch. "Once they bite down again, we'll be there."

"Okay, I'm leaving." Tang Yao replied and hung up the phone.

Half an hour later.

Just as Su Tianyu's convoy entered the village, the pickup truck convoy behind him caught up.

The two sides were very close. Su Tianyu got out of the car, ran towards the dirt road leading into the village, fired a signal flare directly into the sky, and then roared, "Where are my big brother's Chi Army soldiers?!"

At various intersections in the village, a hundred Chi Army soldiers were all in position.

Zhu Bajie took out his gun and roared, "Everyone, fix bayonets, let's mess with this damn armed force!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Chinese charge horn, which had been passed down for nearly two hundred years from before the Age of Discovery to the present, resounded across this land of District One...
