Chapter 384: Chapter 380: At Wit’s End

"Stop!"

Zhu Hong turned his head and looked at the shouting Hu Fei, sneered and said, "Why the rush? After killing him, it will soon be your turn."

Hu Fei flicked his wrist and threw a large backpack next to the jeep, saying, "Mr. Zhu, you’d better take a look at what’s inside first."

Hearing this, Zhu Hong glanced at the backpack suspiciously. After hesitating, he gestured with his eyes to the man in the suit next to him. Getting the hint, the latter immediately jumped out of the vehicle, walked over to the backpack, and unzipped it. Seeing the contents inside, his face changed drastically, and he hastily retreated backward.

Seeing the look of terror on his subordinate’s face, Zhu Hong frowned and asked, "What’s going on?"

"It’s... C4 explosives and grenades."

Hu Fei held the detonator in his hand and chuckled, "Mr. Zhu, these bombs are enough to level everything within a twenty-meter range. If you dare to shoot, we’ll all die together. Let’s see who’s more ruthless."

Zhu Hong’s face showed shock, and the hand holding the gun suddenly stiffened in the air.

Watching Hu Fei’s grim face, Ling Chen was surprised to himself; he hadn’t thoroughly checked the contents of the backpack and didn’t expect that the fat man would carry so much equipment, truly a walking arsenal.

"Mr. Zhu, if you don’t want to die, have your men all back off."

Zhu Hong stared at the backpack, his eyes hesitating. Such a good opportunity... but he couldn’t bring himself to join Ling Chen in death. After weighing his options, he put down his gun and gestured with his eyes to the people around him.

As the soldiers began to retreat, Hu Fei breathed a sigh of relief and turned his gaze to Ling Chen beside him, asking in a low voice, "Can you handle it?"

Ling Chen’s mouth curved slightly, and he nodded, "Move back a bit first."

After Hu Fei retreated more than twenty meters away, Ling Chen dug up the dirt next to the landmine, forming a pit. Then, with his hands pressing down on his shoe soles and his knees slightly bent, he took a deep breath, and with a powerful leap, his body swiftly flew backward.

A fraction of a second after his hands left the soles of his shoes, a loud ’boom’ was heard – the landmine exploded instantly. However, thanks to the pit dug by Ling Chen beforehand, the force of the landmine explosion did not spread around but shot upwards at a forty-five-degree angle into the air.

Seeing the landmine successfully disarmed, Ling Chen didn’t hesitate and immediately ran towards Hu Fei.

"Run!" Hu Fei waved his hands, urging urgently.

"Where’s the detonator? Give it to me, I’ll blow those bastards up." Ling Chen stretched out his hand, asking Hu Fei for the detonating device.

"To hell with the explosion, the plastic explosives in the backpack didn’t have detonators inserted, how could they explode? I was just bluffing them."

Ling Chen’s eyes widened, this fat man... was too unreliable, he had learned to play dirty too.

"Don’t look at me, I learned it from you." After saying that, Hu Fei raised the detonator in his hand and roared at Zhu Hong, "All of you bastards go die."

Hearing Hu Fei’s roar, Zhu Hong’s face turned pale, and he hastily threw himself outside the jeep, lying on the ground with his hands over his head, waiting for the bomb to explode.

However, after more than ten seconds passed, there was no movement around them.

Reylov, not far away, raised his head, looked at the backpack next to the jeep, and then at Ling Chen and Hu Fei disappearing into the woods, and immediately realized the truth.

"Get up, everyone. We’ve been had."

"Bastards!" Zhu Hong’s face turned ashen with anger and cursed, giving the man in the suit a furious glare, and said coldly, "Didn’t you say the backpack was full of explosives?"

The man in the suit hurriedly defended, "Yes, I..."

Bang!

Before he could explain, a gunshot rang out, and Zhu Hong blew his head off with a shot.

"Chase them, we absolutely can’t let them get away."

At this moment, the satellite phone in the jeep suddenly rang. Zhu Hong hurriedly answered the call, only to hear Mr. Yun’s calm voice coming from the other end: "How are things going?"

"Uncle Yun, I’m sorry, there has been some trouble. Ling Chen and his group have come, they rescued Wanqing from the lab, and I’m in full pursuit."

"Hmph! You can’t even handle such a trivial matter." After a pause, Mr. Yun asked: "Did Ling Chen discover the secret of the base?"

"He shouldn’t have."

"What do you mean ’shouldn’t’? I don’t need such uncertain answers. I’ll be arriving in half an hour, and you better have things taken care of before I get there, don’t disappoint me again."

"I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Hong’s face looked terrible after being chastised by Mr. Yun. He glanced at Reylov and said with a heavy tone: "Mr. Yun has spoken, we must capture them within half an hour. Reylov, we provide so much funding to Broken Teeth Training Camp every year, if you can’t handle even this little matter, I think Mr. Yun will be very displeased, and if the budget for Broken Teeth Training Camp gets cut, you..."

"Alright, Mr. Zhu, there’s no need to threaten me," Reylov cut in. "In half an hour, I guarantee they will surrender willingly."

...

At this moment, Ling Chen and Hu Fei, having temporarily shaken off their pursuers, had successfully regrouped with the main force.

Kaelina looked up at the thinning night sky and pointed ahead, saying: "It’s three kilometers from here to the shore."

Ling Chen nodded: "Everyone, hold on a bit longer, we are about to escape."

Ten minutes passed.

Perhaps because they had left that dangerous area behind, they didn’t encounter any traps anymore. On the way, everyone hurried along without stopping and finally reached the shore of the island as the sky was starting to lighten.

Looking at the surging waves, Ling Chen took a deep breath, feeling relieved to have finally made it.

Hu Fei lifted the cover off the speedboat, and with Qiu Yong’s help, dragged the two speedboats to the shore, urging everyone to hurry up and get on.

"It’s in your hands," Ling Chen said, looking at Kaelina. The waters around the island were filled with sea mines, and it was Kaelina who had led them in before, so now they had to rely on her to lead them out.

The engines started, and Kaelina piloted the speedboat, carefully avoiding the sea mines as she steered towards the Public Sea.

However, just at that moment, a ’buzzing’ sound suddenly came from the sky. Ling Chen’s expression changed slightly, and he quickly looked up, only to see a helicopter flying rapidly towards them, hovering above the two speedboats.

At the same time, Reylov, from the rear seat of the cabin, stuck his head out, and spoke through a loudspeaker to the people below: "Ling Chen, surrender. You can’t escape."

Ling Chen frowned and said in a deep voice: "Ignore him, keep going."

"Kaelina, my finest student, do you really think you can leave smoothly?" Reylov said with a proud smile: "Just now, I’ve changed the positions of the underwater mines. If you plan on using the old method to leave, there’s only a dead end awaiting you."

Hearing this, Kaelina’s complexion finally changed and she immediately stopped the speedboat in the middle of the water.

"Surrender, you’ve got nowhere to escape."
