Peerless Genius System

Chapter 528: Surrounded.

“What?! The two squads were destroyed in Dongcheng District, and they all had their throats cut with a knife?” After hearing the news from his subordinates, Khamis said in disbelief.

“Yes, everyone was killed. We carefully investigated the scene. Many of them had their necks slit without even managing to fire a shot. The technique was very clean and it cut off their trachea and esophagus instantly.” The subordinate’s trembling voice could be heard over the intercom.

“Motherf*cker, what is this situation?! I will come right away!”

Khamis hung up and got in a military jeep. He commanded his subordinate to drive the car to the location as quickly as possible.

There are no traffic rules nor laws, so along with two other jeeps, they madly rushed while raising a lot of dust behind them.

When he saw that the alley was crammed with his own soldiers’ bodies, Khamis took a deep breath and clenched his fists, “I can’t be wrong, that person must be the NSA soldier that Hua Guobai Jia said. Mie, his mission here is to protect that damn war correspondent. Don’t let him get away, never let him escape! Pass my orders along: don’t pay attention to those small Chinese soldiers for the time being, focus on pursuing Mie!”

“Yes!”

His subordinates responded assuredly.

“I should have known that that man was Mie, otherwise why would he ask me about Sarah Michelle? NSA soldiers… Their strength is really extraordinary. But this is my turf, not damn foreigners’!” Khamis gritted his teeth and said to himself.

“Lieutenant Colonel, Leader has reported that 5,000 people from the government forces are coming to Steining City. They are expected to arrive in half an hour. The leader asked us to eliminate the Chinese soldiers as soon as possible and then assist him in fighting against the government forces.” A message suddenly came from his subordinate.

“5,000 government forces?”

Khamis was slightly stunned, and then said with confidence. “Tell the Leader that half an hour is enough for me to destroy these recalcitrant Chinese soldiers. In addition, tell him that the NSA soldier sent by China to protect the war correspondent is among these soldiers. But they are just turtles in a jar and have nowhere to escape.”

He was very confident, it was because he had already sent people to block every single access point in Steining City. It would be absolutely impossible for the Chinese soldiers to break out. All access points were heavily guarded, with heavy machine guns and rocket launchers. If they dare break through, they would meet an unlikely end.

“Yes.”

The subordinate saluted, then turned and left.

……

……

Steining City was in ruins, it was difficult to find a building that was still standing. Broken bricks, bomb pits, bullet holes, combined with the smell of dust and smoke in the air… Everything made people feel as if they had crossed time and space and returned to the war-torn era before; certainly no longer in the 21st century, where peace, food and clothing, and personal safety were protected by law.

Xiao Luo took Tang Wantian and walked through the ruins.

Tang Wantian increasingly felt that this man was extremely mysterious and powerful. All the rebels they met on the road were quietly killed by him. The weapon he used was only a dagger. Up to now, at least 50 people died under his dagger. Because of being constantly drenched in blood, the dagger looked like an evil blade, full of darkness and murderous aura.

While this was happening, calculated on where his subordinates were killed, Khamis marked Xiao Luo’s possible route on the map. An encirclement or an invisible net was being woven, and rebels from all directions were slowly closing in on Xiao Luo.

“Xiao Luo, how far is the church?”

After running for a long time, Tang Wantian felt exhausted. Her physical strength couldn’t be compared with Xiao Luo, and her legs were numb from unspeakable fatigue.

“Soon!” Xiao Luo simply.

“Are we safe as long as we get to the church?” Tang Wantian asked again.

Xiao Luo shook his head, “The church is only a temporary foothold. My plan is to use it as a springboard to break out. Every entrance and exit should be guarded by the rebels. So there will be a fierce battle in the end.”

Hearing this, Tang Wantian turned pale. It turned out that the road to escape was so difficult. She couldn’t help wondering if she would make it out alive.

At this moment, she missed her motherland more and more.

“Xiao Luo, I…”

“Shh~”

Tang Wantian was about to talk when she was interrupted by Xiao Luo.

Seeing that he looked grim, Tang Wantian knew that the enemy was coming again, and immediately closed her mouth and kept quiet.

Xiao Luo crouched to the ground and listened to the faint vibrations from the ground.

He heard several footsteps not only in one or two directions, but in all directions. There was also the roaring of cars engines behind them.

“The rebels gave up chasing Jiang Zhiming and instead they all came after me?”

Xiao Luo frowned and realized that something was wrong. The other party seemed to be targeting him, this was the only explanation. Moreover, his mission in coming here to protect Sarah Michelle was exposed. In other words, the NSA had a mole. Except for the woman codenamed “Rose” from the White House, Xiao Luo couldn’t think of any other person that would betray him. Consequently, it was obvious that the White House was using the hands of the rebels to eradicate him.

‘Very good…!’

Xiao Luo smiled but it was hard to tell what he was thinking, only a glint of something cold flashed within his eyes.

He looked around until his eyes finally landed on a house with seven or eight floors not far ahead.

“We are surrounded.” Xiao Luo looked back and lightly said.

“What?”

Listening to this, Tang Wantian was so frightened she stumbled and almost collapsed to the ground.

Xiao Luo looked at the road, and the wellhead of a sewer not far away. He walked there and stepped on the edge of the wellhead. A powerful force immediately made the manhole cover spring up, revealing a dark manhole.

“Come here!” Xiao Luo waved to Tang Wantian.

Tang Wantian went over according to his words.

Xiao Luo did not say anything, and just pushed her down directly. The manhole was not particularly deep, but it has no problem in hiding one person, “You hide here. I will come back to pick you up when it is safe. Remember, no matter what you hear outside, don’t make a sound. You’ll know it is me, since I will just directly take the manhole cover away.”

Tang Wantian nodded subconsciously, “Hmm.”

Xiao Luo stretched out his hand and prepared to cover the manhole.

“Xiao Luo, don’t forget about me, and you have to live. You must live!”

Tang Wantian’s eyes were red and tears were brewing inside. She said that sentence in an almost pleading tone. Her only reliance was Xiao Luo, so if Xiao Luo died, it would undoubtedly be the most horrible and desperate situation for her.

Looking at Tang Wantian, who was no longer the same strong woman from the past, Xiao Luo suddenly remembered Chu Yue in Wild Boar Ridge. At that time, that Young Miss also said something similar.

“Don’t worry, nothing will happen.”

Xiao Luo responded with indifference, and then covered the manhole.

At the instant the manhole was covered, the narrow space was filled with darkness. Tang Wantian curled up her legs and sat down with her back against the dirty manhole wall. She was shivering from fear, and the upper and lower rows of her teeth kept clattering against each other.
