Chapter 232 The Mission to Break the Impasse
boom!
A rocket, leaving a long trail, flew in from outside the corridor, passed through the window, and exploded in the center of the room, creating a ball of fire.
Immediately afterwards, gunfire erupted from all directions to the west, so dense it was like a net that enveloped the entire room.
Prison guards surged in from all directions down the corridor, their guns pointed at the small room, triggers drawn, bullets raining down from the windows and doorways.
Cai Chengfu leaned against the wall, the tourniquet on his arm soaked with blood. His eyes were still fixed on the doorway, and his hand was still groping in the clipboard.
boom!
The flash of the grenade explosion streaked through the corridor, followed by billowing smoke and dust.
He pulled out another incendiary bomb, *poof*!
Flames exploded in the corridor, and orange-red flames shot up, blocking the prison guards' path.
He threw with great accuracy, each one landing precisely in the most critical spot, slowing down the prison guards' pace.
The group was simply unable to withstand such fierce firepower and such an offensive; it was definitely not something that five or six people could resist.
Han Che was also very troubled. He hadn't expected Shi Ding to be so ruthless and to have made such meticulous arrangements. Now, even he was helpless.
If there were no one else around, he could put on level 6 armor, use smoke grenades to clear a path and block the enemy's vision, and maybe he would still have a chance to break through the encirclement.
But now, under everyone's watchful eyes, it's impossible for me to take anything from the system space, let alone equipment like level six armor. It would definitely reignite the suspicions that Xiaobai had just dispelled.
The dense barrage of bullets made it extremely difficult for anyone to expose themselves and retaliate. Only Cai Chengfu was still looking for openings, throwing grenades and incendiary bombs to slow down the enemy's advance.
The rest of the people were pressed down so hard they couldn't lift their heads, and they huddled against the wall to avoid the pressure.
Li Hao leaned against the wall and sat on the ground. He had been shot in multiple places, and blood was gushing out. The most obvious wounds were on his shoulder, arm, and abdomen.
Large amounts of blood seeped from the bullet holes. His eyes were half-closed as he stared at the ceiling, his vision somewhat blurred.
Li Hao's breathing was heavy, his chest heaving, each breath being forced out of his throat, causing a sharp pain in his wound.
He glanced at Qi Shao beside him. Qi Shao was squatting down next to him, huddled up with his head buried in his knees, trembling all over.
For a novice to encounter such a situation is incredibly unlucky, but it can't be said to be bad.
After experiencing something like this, Young Master Qi should never run into such a dangerous area again. He can go back to being a rich second-generation heir. How wonderful that would be.
Li Hao felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, sinking uncontrollably.
Someone poked his arm, their finger poking near his wound. He was already numb and couldn't feel any more pain, but he still frowned, lifted his eyelids, and opened them a crack to look at Qi Shao.
Li Hao looked in the direction Qi Shao was pointing, his tired gaze drifting through the air before landing on the control panel.
It was just a regular console with several operation buttons and indicator lights.
There were several monitors nearby, but the screens were black and there was no image.
He couldn't see anything that could help the current battle situation. He simply took it as Qi Shao's curiosity and offered a casual explanation.
"Control console, right? I don't know what it controls." His voice was very soft, almost drowned out by the gunfire even though he was so close.
"no!
Seeing that Li Hao was about to close his eyes again, Qi Shao shook his head like a rattle drum and reached out to shake Li Hao's arm, and Li Hao's eyelids finally opened again.
"There's a box next to that console. I saw it when they let me in to search for things, but I picked up a keycard and forgot about it. It says something about a mission and a reward of 80,000 yuan..." Young Master Qi pointed in that direction, his fingers trembling slightly, but his voice was clear.
After hearing these words, Li Hao's tired eyes darted around, and a glimmer of light appeared. "A mission?"
Young Master Qi nodded. "It's right there..."
Li Hao was startled. There were only two missions that had been identified at Tide Prison so far: one was Operation Crow Hunter, and the mission location was at the entrance of the warden's office.
Are they still on a mission at their current location? Could it be Operation Black Tide?
Li Hao's mind raced. Operation Black Tide would flood the prison, and most importantly, Raven and his prisoners would be released.
Raven and the warden are mortal enemies, and their people will definitely fight. That will create an opportunity to escape in the chaos.
This task might be their chance to break the deadlock.
Li Hao's gaze swept back and forth around the console mission points a few times.
The mission pick-up point in Xizhou was completely exposed, with no cover whatsoever. Li Hao gritted his teeth, unable to think of any way to dodge the barrage of bullets and accept the mission.
Li Hao raised his hand, wincing in pain as he pulled at his wound, and took the Tenglong rifle slung over his shoulder, placing it in Qi Shao's hand. "Throw away your machine gun. Use this. There will be a chance to charge out with Brother Cai later. Don't be afraid, you've already done a great job."
Qi Shao took the Tenglong rifle from Li Hao, looking bewildered. "Then what will you use?"
Li Hao grinned, "I have something even more powerful. Let me show you how to break through."
"Really?" Qi Shao's eyes lit up.
Li Hao didn't answer. He took a deep breath, leaned against the wall to stand up, his legs trembling slightly. He shifted his gaze from Qi Shao and swept it over everyone else.
Then he roared, "I've got it! Cover me! Cover me!"
All sounds stopped for a moment, and everyone was looking at him.
By this time, everyone was exhausted, each of them was wounded, and their morale was so low that almost everyone was ready to give up.
But when they heard Li Hao shout that, the light that had been extinguished in their eyes shone again.
With their last breath, they peeked out from behind their bunker, raised their guns, and pulled the trigger.
They didn't know what Li Hao's plan was, but they chose to believe him.
All they could do was share the firepower so that Li Hao wouldn't be riddled with bullets before he even got out of there.
Li Hao rushed out, running out from behind the cover, leaning forward, head down, taking large strides, each step as if he had used all his strength.
Han Che's eyes widened as he looked in the direction Li Hao was heading. Was that... Operation Black Tide?! But by then, Li Hao had already rushed out, and Han Che couldn't stop him in time.
The bullets, which were originally evenly distributed, converged and shot towards him after he saw someone rushing out of his field of vision.
This distance of less than ten steps was like an insurmountable chasm, with countless bullets leaving numerous blood-spurting bullet holes on his back.
He finally collapsed forward, his blood-soaked hands reaching out and pressing against the "box".
