Chapter 1 The Dragon City Rises

Inside the compound, Guang Tou and the others retreated into the Red Building, immediately pulling the power switch, plunging the entire building's lighting system into paralysis.

"A Shui, you take the leader and leave first. Three Hands and the others will cover you," Lao Fei roared from the doorway. "The rest of you, go to the basement storage room and release all the goods!"

"We might as well just rush out the back," Three Hands suggested.

"Are you stupid?! You know there's a back door, so don't you think the other side does too?" Lao Fei snapped back. "We need to create chaos to escape, hurry!"

Upon receiving the order, the group immediately scattered. Five or six brothers covered A Shui, who was the first to retreat, while the others followed Lao Fei, rushing to the basement and the rooms on the second floor, both locations where the "goods" were held.

As soon as Lao Fei, carrying a gun, arrived in the basement, he smelled a pungent, sour odor. In the incredibly damp corridor, there were four rooms, all locked.

"Open them, open them!" Lao Fei instructed the brothers beside him.

Three burly men stepped forward, guns in hand, and cleanly blasted open the locks.

In the almost completely dark corridor, one of the men took out his phone, turned on the flashlight function, and scanned the room, seeing six or seven people, all sitting along the edge of the walls, desperately protecting their vital spots, looking at him with terrified eyes.

This group of people came in all complexions, their bodies covered in bruises and scars from abuse, and on the left side of the room, there were two iron buckets for defecating and urinating.

"There are soldiers outside. Whether you can run out depends on your luck," the burly man shouted.

At this moment, the front and back courtyards were filled with intense gunfire. The people inside didn't seem to understand what the burly man was saying, as they didn't react or move after he spoke.

"Go, go!" The burly man shouted, waving his gun.

Then, a Chinese man who understood the burly man's words slowly stood up, tentatively taking a step forward with great trepidation.

"Go!" The burly man waved again.

Seeing that the burly man didn't stop him, the Chinese man ran out without hesitation.

As soon as one person moved, everyone else in the room stood up, swarming towards the door.

The power switch inside the building had already been pulled, and many people lost their sense of direction. They stumbled around for a long time before finding the exit with the reminder of Lao Fei's brothers, and rushed to the first floor.

In an instant, the entire Red Building erupted into chaos, as forty-five kidnapped victims burst out with a desire to survive, each rushing out of the building.

"Let's go, let's go."

Lao Fei, his face covered, took advantage of the chaos to call his brothers, striding towards the left side of the Red Building, preparing to smash the windows and escape from there.

The front courtyard.

Two pickup trucks had already rushed in, and more than a dozen black soldiers, carrying guns, were advancing in a line towards the building.

"Whoosh!"

At the front entrance of the Red Building, large numbers of trafficked people appeared at the windows. Seeing that there were not many soldiers, they were filled with the idea of fighting for their lives.

"Oh, God, I don't want to die!"

A black man shouted from inside the building, gritting his teeth as he jumped out of the window, desperately running along the wall towards the outside of the courtyard.

With one person taking the lead, the fear in others' hearts also decreased a lot. They rushed out of the courtyard together, scattering in all directions.

"Shoot and restrict their movement," the leading officer on the other side shouted.

"Bang, bang, bang…!"

The sound of gunfire rang out intensely. Three of the leading victims were shot in the legs and fell to the ground, while the timid ones had conflicting thoughts and wanted to retreat.

The soldiers pressed forward, constantly shouting for the others to squat down with their hands on their heads. Many people were blocked next to the building and were recaptured.

While the front courtyard was filled with intense gunfire, three more pickup trucks arrived on the outer streets. They were from another patrol point, coming to provide support.

…

The first floor of the main building, in a room on the left side.

"Bang, crash!"

Lao Fei smashed the window with the butt of his gun, immediately waving his hand and shouting, "Go, go!"

Two brothers jumped out of the window, standing on the left and right of the window to cover Lao Fei.

"Damn it, we can't get out. There are people blocking the back door too!"

Just as Lao Fei landed, A Shui's shout suddenly came from the direction of the back door. They were about to run when they were blocked at the left rear side of the main building by soldiers rushing in from the back door.

"Support them!" Lao Fei had no choice at the moment. He immediately took two brothers diagonally to the rear of the courtyard, looked up at the position of the opposing soldiers and A Shui and others.

"Damn, Xiao Liang, you take two grenades to the wall and blow it up." Lao Fei quickly made a judgment: "Shengzi, you and I will cover A Shui. There aren't many people at their back door."

"Okay!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Liang rushed to the wall with the grenades, while Lao Fei and another brother rushed out of cover at the same time, firing wildly at the back door.

"A Shui, get ready!" Lao Fei shouted.

A Shui immediately yelled at Three Hands, "You guys fire too!"

Three Hands and the others were also red-eyed, and they rushed out of cover one after another, firing at the back door to suppress the enemy.

Xiao Liang quickly rushed to the edge of the wall, throwing two grenades in a rolling motion at the base of the wall. Then he immediately turned around, ran four steps, and quickly lay on the ground.

"Bang, boom, crash!"

The grenades exploded, blowing a gap more than two meters long in the wall. Lao Fei immediately changed his magazine and roared, "A Shui, go!"

The tall A Shui immediately pulled Xiao Kai, who was cuffed to him, and ran frantically towards the edge of the wall. At this moment, Xiao Kai did not dare not cooperate with him, because the soldiers here were not familiar with him, and the bullets had no eyes. If he caused trouble for A Shui now, it would be like asking for trouble for himself.

The two ran desperately for more than ten meters, and with the desperate cover of everyone, they rushed out of the Red Building compound.

Seeing that A Shui had escaped, Lao Fei immediately shouted, "Retreat, scatter and retreat!"

After speaking, Lao Fei took his gun and turned to leave through the gap in the wall.

At this moment, on the other side of the main building, three soldiers suddenly appeared. One of them was holding an RPG launcher, and he squatted on the ground as soon as he showed his face.

Lao Fei, who was running, didn't notice this side at all. It was Xiao Liang who waved his hand and shouted, "Go back, go back, RPG!"

Lao Fei turned his head and saw the soldier kneeling on the ground. The distance between the two sides was about forty meters.

"F*ck your mother!!"

Without thinking, Lao Fei turned around and rushed towards the main building.

"Whoosh!"

The ear-piercing sound of air exploding reverberated through the courtyard. The RPG warhead rushed towards the gap in the wall like a fire dragon.

In the blink of an eye, a violent explosion resounded through the courtyard. Lao Fei didn't know where the strength came from, but he almost stepped onto the windowsill in one step. Relying entirely on the inertia of his body, he crashed through the window with a bang and rushed into the main building.
