C8 Leave the casino

After about half an hour, there was a faint sound coming from inside the ruins. Not long after, a hand reached out from inside the rubble, as if it was passing through a cemetery in the middle of the night and suddenly found a grave.

"Pui!" What good deed did a good son do to make his father eat?! " Jiang Tao cursed out. He had been buried quite tightly and had only managed to pull out a hand and a head. Half of his body was still in the ruins. Jiang Tao let out a faint sigh, and with a 'bang', Leng Hanxuan kicked away a large piece of brick. His body jumped out from the pile of debris unimpeded as he stood there with his hands in his pockets, looking at Jiang Tao. The latter looked at Leng Hanxuan for a long time, but Leng Hanxuan still stood there without moving. After showing no intention of saving him, Jiang Tao could only silently dig out his other hand, and with a push of his hand, he flipped backwards in the air, landing on top of the ruins.

Seeing that Jiang Tao was fine, Leng Hanxuan jumped down from the ruins and said, "Let's go."

Jiang Tao nodded and jumped down from the ruins.

"Bam!"

The sound of an intense explosion rang out again as the heavy object smashed into the ground, causing the ground to shake violently. It was like the aftermath of an earthquake, shocking Jiang Tao and Leng Hanxuan, causing them to hurriedly stop in their tracks.

The two of them looked at each other and immediately started running. Who knew that not long after he ran, the ground began to shake violently, as if it was the prelude to a volcano eruption. Before the two of them violently shook the ground, their bodies automatically reacted. Two or three crisp backflip perfectly eased the restraints from the ground. Then, the two of them bent their bodies and the cat walked into a corner.

The corner of the wall was truly dirty. It was also extremely narrow, just big enough for two people to hide in. Thus, the two of them crouched down and stuck close to each other. In order to avoid detection, the two of them covered each other's mouths with tacit understanding. Both of them could not help but breathe softly.

The Prefect of Police isn't in any danger, is he?

Jiang Tao looked at Leng Hanxuan as he held onto her fingertips, patting them up and down slightly. It seemed to be a random tap, yet it also contained a pattern that no one else could understand. This was a kind of whisper. After receiving the message from Jiang Tao, Leng Hanxuan was about to reply when a robotic voice suddenly came from outside, "Report! The battle area has been cleaned up. No suspicious figures have been found."

Not long after that voice was heard, another mechanical voice was heard, "Received. Withdrawing. Withdrawing."

Soon after, the sound of orderly footsteps could be heard. Gradually, their voices faded and the two of them could not help but let out a sigh of relief at the same time. Just as they were relaxing, a shadow was drawn out. The two of them were once again stifled. Their eyes were staring at each other as they looked around uneasily. Leng Hanxuan and Jiang Tao continued to whisper to each other, the surroundings turning deathly silent.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Cold Night was ready to attack at any moment. A pair of high-heeled shoes appeared in their line of sight. Leng Hanxuan's body shot forward with a 'whoosh'. The moment the card was within a millimeter of the enemy's neck, it was suddenly retracted. Coldfrost Xuan looked at the newcomer with false alarm. He took a deep breath and said half-heartedly, "Director, you shouldn't be so frightening in the middle of the night!"

"Director?" Jiang Tao stood up in shock and looked at the person who spoke, "Are you alright? "Director."

"It looks like you really want something to happen to me?" Zhu Zhirong's cold eyes swept across the crowd and Jiang Tao immediately shook his head like a rattle drum. His eyes contained the gaze that he thought was the most sincere as he looked at Zhu Zhirong. However, Zhu Zhu Zhu Rong ignored him completely and turned her face away. Looking at Leng Hanxuan who was standing beside the river, she asked, "What are you guys doing here? Are you in danger right now? Do you still have the leisure to stroll around here?"

"It seems like I really should buy a lottery ticket. I might even win!" Jiang Tao clapped both of his hands and continued without a beginning or an end, but it was an extremely good answer.

They had not been discovered, and had even encountered Zhu Zhurong, who thought that they had escaped danger. With such good luck, he might even be able to win the lottery.

When Jiang Tao saw that Leng Hanxuan and Zhu Que did not say anything, he reached out his hand to grab Leng Hanxuan's neck and placed a hand on his shoulder. As Leng Hanxuan was more than half a head taller than Jiang Tao, half of Jiang Tao's body was attached to Leng Hanxuan. Jiang Tao did not find it tiring either, he directly ignored Zhu Zhu Rong's strange gaze, using his elbow to poke the upright Leng Xuan as he smiled and asked: "What do you think, Xuan Zi?"

"If you can get out of here, I think you can probably win by buying a lottery ticket." Leng Hanxuan pulled Jiang Tao off his body and frowned.

"Probably not." Zhu Zhushan opened a three-dimensional map and pointed to a route. "Here, there is an abandoned underground water passage. If you walk from here, you can leave this place and reach a dam next to area 15. However … Those soldiers are a problem to get to that channel. "

Everyone fell silent. Just as Leng Ning was about to say that he would use his Discipline, a clamor filled the air and everyone immediately became alert. Looking around to make sure there was no one around, he cast his gaze at the floating mobile electronic broadcast.

"Sir, all broadcasts are complete."

A calm voice came out. After a while, a pleasant voice said, "I didn't expect the broadcast used in this kind of place would look like this. It really took a lot of effort."

Upon hearing the voice, Jiang Tao and Leng Hanxuan's eyes widened, and their bodies trembled in fear.

"Long time no see, gentlemen. I am the highest ranking officer in this battle. At this moment, I would like to discuss something with all of you. Everyone, don't worry. As a good businessman, I will never let my customers down. "

Once that voice was heard, the familiar mantra immediately made Jiang Tao and Leng Hanxuan feel an inexplicable sense of fear, making them unable to make a sound.

They knew who the speaker was and what he meant. From the looks of it, this war was determined to be a battle between the Holy Church and the Cross. A senior officer of the Holy Church would tell the enemy that it had been a long time since they last met? Would they discuss it properly? If someone from the Holy Church knew about this, they would definitely arrest them and interrogate them. From this, it could be seen that these words were not directed at the people of the Cross, but towards them. What Jiang Tao and Leng Hanxuan said!

"Everyone from the Church of the Cross, I presume you all have already seen the result. If we continue fighting, it would be useless, right?" The words immediately caused Jiang Tao and Leng Hanxuan to be at a loss. Were they really speaking to the Cross Sect? Then, did the person who spoke discover their existence, or did he not? Before Jiang Tao and Leng Hanxuan could think about it, the voice continued, "The result of this battle is very obvious. I should prepare to go home and have a hot bath and enjoy a good meal, so I made two choices for everyone. One, everyone should put down their weapons and come to the square.

"Secondly, I did not see you two in the plaza for half an hour. In that case, I can only offer everyone a glass of wine."

Jiang Tao and Leng Hanxuan were stunned for a moment. They only had one thought in their minds. Damn, as expected, I still told them about it! What was this person doing? Was he trying to lure them out on purpose!

"Of course, I will make all my men stay put and not attack. However, if I receive news of an attack within an hour, don't blame me for not keeping my word. "

As soon as the voice from the broadcast ended, Zhu Que looked towards Leng Hanxuan and Jiang Tao and said, "We can use his words to sneak out."

Leng Hanxuan and Jiang Tao looked at each other, and with a puzzled expression on their faces, they nodded their heads towards Zhu Zhanyun.

After Jiang Tao and the other two had planned everything, they successfully used the officer's words on the radio to sneak into the abandoned underground passage. The dark underground passage was filled with an unpleasant smell. The four Jiang Tao and the others turned on their phones and quietly walked. Other than the dripping sound of the water, the whole passageway was filled with the stench of something rotten.

After searching for about half an hour, they finally saw a weak light.

"The exit is just ahead. Once we exit from there, we'll go straight to the dam outside the fifteenth region." Zhu Zhu Zhu Fa covered his mouth and nose as he spoke. Seeing that everyone's state of mind wasn't very good, Jiang Tao immediately teased him, "Director, you said that after we left this place, we have shared life and death together. Are there any benefits?"

"I only spent less than five minutes with you in the underground gambling den. How can we live and die together? Or do you think that half an hour of walking in this stinky tunnel is enough for us to live and die together? "

As Zhu Zhirong's words came out, Jiang Tao was suddenly at a loss for words. He could not help but feel powerless: How can there be such an uninteresting woman in this world!

"Alright, alright. Why are you still in the mood to play with girls? Don't you think that this place is really too smelly!?" Leng Xuan said impatiently as he sped up his pace. Jiang Tao pursed his lips as he silently ridiculed her. The key point wasn't whether she was a girl or not. What was the environment? The only girl she wasn't was a girl at all!

"That staircase is the exit, right?" Leng Hanxuan pointed to the stairs in front of him as he looked at Zhu Zhuyan, who nodded her head. Just as the three of them were about to climb up, a loud explosion sounded in the originally quiet underground passage. The few of them were stunned at the same time. Zhu Zhilong quickly looked towards the source of the voice. Jiang Tao and Leng Hanxuan did the same thing. Their bodies shook violently at the same time and they immediately retreated a few steps, pulling Zhu Zhanyue up.

"Explosive!" They were going to blow up this passageway! "Hurry up!" Jiang Tao immediately determined the current situation. He pulled Zhu Zhirong along and ran up the stairs. Just as the three of them stepped onto the stairs, a bloodthirsty fire gushed out from the surface of the water.

"Run!"

Jiang Tao roared furiously and an explosion resounded. The three of them were sent flying by the heat waves, fiercely crashing into the ground outside the underground passage. Zhu Zhu Chi was still in pain as he rubbed the place where he had fallen a moment ago and just as he stood up again, Jiang Tao and Leng Xuan pulled the two of them back a few steps and threw themselves onto the ground. Just as they fell down, there was another loud sound, and a fiery red light shot straight up to the sky. Under the night sky, it shone with a blood-red brilliance.

After a while, the fire disappeared. After confirming that there were no more movements around them, Jiang Tao and Leng Hanxuan slowly released Zhu Zhanyun.

"Oh, Director, do you think we've all died together?"

When Jiang Tao spoke, he successfully caused everyone to roll their eyes. However, after hearing these words, the tense atmosphere in the air disappeared in an instant.

"The main question now is where we'll be staying tonight." Zhu Zhirong gave Jiang Tao another supercilious look as she stood up from the ground. She patted the dust off her body and said, "Right now, I'm so smelly. I don't want to stay here until tomorrow morning."

At this moment, Zhu Zhu Zhu Rong was extremely unhappy. Not mentioning the strange smell on her body, she hadn't washed up and hadn't slept at all. This was undoubtedly a form of torture for a girl who loved to take care of beautiful girls.

"That... "Director …"

Zhu Zhurong's cold eyes swept across the area, and Jiang Tao instantly fell silent. Knowing that Zhu Que was in a bad mood, he could not help but bury his head in a dilemma. Finally, he weakly said, "We can return to the company. That combat zone is quite far away from our company. Moreover … "This place isn't that far from our company …"

"Then go back to the company. Call me a taxi." Zhu Zhirong leaned against the dam as she commanded Jiang Tao. A trace of displeasure flashed through Jiang Tao's eyes.

Originally, the underground casino would only be opened after eleven o'clock, so as not to be discovered by the army. After all, in order to clean up the Church of the Cross and the mutated humans, it had been strictly prohibited to open casinos in the recent days. In order to continue the business, the Shang family had to delay the opening hours.

Due to the chaos of the battle, most of their phones had been blown away by the blast. There were also cellphones, so there wasn't much more electricity left. At this point, it should be around three to four in the morning.

"Director, actually, there are no more cars to call at this point of time." Leng Hanxuan looked at Jiang Tao, then at Zhu Zhushu. He said to Zhu Zhuyan, "This place is itself an abandoned area, and not only is there no car, there might not even be a single person other than us."

With this reminder, Zhu Zhilong reacted and observed the sky, looking at the advancing Jiang Tao.

"Director, it's almost dawn, and there's a station near the dam. It's warm in the train waiting room, so we should take a rest somewhere and not be afraid of the cold. " Jiang Tao took the lead and turned his head just in time to meet Zhu Zhirong's gaze. Zhu Zhushan was stunned for a moment. She did not expect that the hooligan Jiang Tao would be able to analyze the situation in such a short period of time. She couldn't help but think of the boy in the photo, Osmonzusugmun.

Indeed, at this point in time, in such a desolate place, it would be good if they could find someone. Zhu Zhu Zhu didn't have any objections as everyone headed for the waiting hall naturally.

Half an hour ago, when Jiang Tao had just entered the underground water tunnel, Bai En was standing behind his superior, looking at the silver screen in question. According to the statistics of the intelligence, the people of the Cross had already been cleaned up, so why would they give such an order?

He did not dare to speak carelessly about this matter, even if the officer who claimed to be the supreme officer said to himself, "Do not hold back, do whatever you want, as long as this place is not destroyed."

But even if Bai Guan had ten times the guts, he would not dare to act so brazenly in front of this mysterious and dangerous man.

"I just want to see someone I know."
