The search went quickly because Gao Yang felt there wouldn’t be anyone inside, so he cleared the place much faster.
Gao Yang harbored a strong anger, so intense that he felt an uncontrollable urge to destroy sothing to vent it.
Dead bodies, Gao Yang had seen many. He couldn’t yet say he was heartless, but seeing corpses no longer stirred strong emotions in him. He saw them as just that—dead bodies, without any particular feeling.
There was never a ti when seeing a few corpses made Gao Yang so furious. He had seen battlefields littered with bodies and unfortunate civilians, but never had he seen a scene where a group of young girls had been tied up and executed.
Beauties always seed to have a privilege, especially to n, and these executed girls were indeed very beautiful—though that beauty referred to how they looked when they were alive.
Those girls were around Yelena’s age. They should have been enjoying a good life, not bound and killed. Whoever did such a thing was unforgivable.
After searching several rooms continuously, Gao Yang and his team finally found the staircase—a spiral staircase leading upwards inside a room.
Looking at the stairs leading up, Gao Yang quietly said into the intercom, "We’re going up."
The few of them pointed their guns at the stairs. Gao Yang and Li Jinfang quickly ran up the carpeted stairs one after the other.
Not knowing if there were still people in the building, Li Jinfang stopped before poking his head out at the top of the stairs, pulled two grenades from his tactical vest, and lightly tossed them after a two-second wait.
The grenades exploded in mid-air. Li Jinfang quickly sprang up, scanning the area with his gun, then whispered, "Clear."
The group quickly ascended the stairs. Gao Yang quietly said into the intercom, "Assault team has entered the second floor. No enemies found."
The space on the second floor was large, with several dead bodies near the windows. Two of the bodies had their upper halves blown apart, which was clearly Cui Bo’s doing.
As they were observing the surroundings, Li Jinfang suddenly raised his fist to signal and pointed to a closed door.
A slight sound ca from behind the door. After signaling to each other, Li Jinfang kicked the door open, and Gao Yang, along with Eileen, rushed in with guns raised.
Rushing into the room, Gao Yang didn’t shoot but quickly raised his gun because there were four won inside, unclothed, trembling in the corner between a large bed and the wall.
Gao Yang imdiately extended his hand, gesturing for silence with a push of his palm, and softly whispered in Russian, "Quiet, don’t be afraid, you’re rescued."
Eileen quickly put a finger to her lips to signal silence, then softly asked, "Is there anyone else here? Where are they?"
The four girls, naked, could only cry and shiver, but finally one silently pointed toward the opposite door.
Gao Yang imdiately turned and left the room, gesturing to Li Jinfang, who again kicked the door.
It looked like a door, but when Li Jinfang kicked it, it made a tallic clang. After retracting his foot, Li Jinfang said grimly, "Can’t be kicked open, probably the secret tunnel is inside."
Gao Yang angrily shouted, "Blow it open, blow this door open for !"
After shouting, Gao Yang urgently said into the intercom, "Andre, your n can prepare to evacuate, Djo’s direct units have already fled. Wait a mont, once we find out what’s going on, we’ll leave."
Andre replied in astonishnt, "Fled? How could that be? They have no reason to flee!"
Gao didn’t respond to Andre, instead urgently saying into the intercom, "Skunk, co over and open the door for !"
Number Thirteen said sternly, "Let try."
Gao Yang stepped aside, and Number Thirteen stood at the door, glanced at it, and then shook his head, speaking quietly, "I can’t open it, the lock is just for show; it must be blocked from the inside by sothing like a big iron bar, it’ll have to be blown open."
Gao Yang waved his hand and said gravely, "Clear the other rooms first, then blow open this door, we must find out what happened!"
Just then, soone inside shouted tremblingly, "Don’t blow it! I’ll open the door for you, don’t shoot.
Gao Yang believed there was likely no one left on the second floor. Since there was a secret passage, it was unlikely anyone stayed behind, but there was indeed soone inside, wanting to open the door for them.
After a short wait, the sound of a bar being pulled open ca from inside; it seed to have been unbarred. Li Jinfang kicked the door open, the iron door struck soone behind it, and Gao Yang barged in through the gap with a shoulder.
Worried soone might pull a trick when opening, Gao Yang quickly surveyed with his gun but realized he had worried for nothing. The room had many people, but they were all dead.
The floor was strewn with bodies, a total of eight, with only the person who opened the door alive, lying on the ground with an outstretched hand after being knocked down by the door.
The room was empty, with the carpet pulled back to reveal a huge iron plate on the floor. If no accident, the tunnel entrance was below that iron plate.
Gao Yang pointed to the plate with his gun and loudly asked, "Where does it lead?"
The person on the floor trembled and said, "Below is a tunnel, the exit is eighty ters away, in the basent of the building across the street. I know about this tunnel but have never gone down."
Gao Yang spoke gravely, "What about those people before? What happened here?"
The person on the ground, looking frustrated and resentful, shouted, "They entered the tunnel, we wanted to go in too, but suddenly they began shooting, and then they entered the tunnel."
"How long ago did they leave?"
The person on the ground said helplessly, "About ten minutes ago, more or less, they left shortly after the shooting began."
Gao Yang exhaled and gravely said, "How is this cover opened?"
"It can’t be opened; it’s always open, but once closed, it can only be opened from inside unless blown open otherwise it can’t be opened."
Gao Yang imdiately said into the intercom, "Big Bird, use the drone to monitor the isolated building on the left side of the target structure; our opponents have entered that building through a tunnel, focus monitoring there."
After speaking, Gao Yang loudly questioned the person on the floor, "Now tell , how many of them were there, what weapons did they use, what clothes did they wear, any distinguishing features, speak quickly."
"There were twenty-two of them, oh, with the King, there were twenty-three, weapons, just so guns, didn’t see anything else, clothing, uh, um, just like the kind you wear, except for the King."
Gao Yang urgently asked, "Who is the King?"
The person on the ground stamred, "I don’t know, they all called him the King, a..."
Just then, Andre grimly said over the intercom, "Let tell you, the King is Djo Malthael!" (To be continued. If you like this work, welco to vote for it on Qidian (qidian), your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please read at m.qidian.)
