According to the pre-battle analysis, the maximum number of guards is around three hundred and sixty. There are two possibilities: one is to hide in the carriages and keep watch over the people being escorted, and the other is to send so people out to counterattack. After all, there are only two helicopters, nothing much to worry about, so the number of people coming out won't be many, just symbolic. But no one expected one or two hundred people to co out, and they brought heavy weapons, ready to fight to the death.
Fortunately, there was a backup plan, and Luo Zheng was secretly relieved. If it hadn't been for the chain, once these people opened fire with heavy weaponry, many lives would undoubtedly be lost, which was sothing Luo Zheng most wanted to avoid. Seeing the chain sweep the people on the train roof away like autumn leaves, his heart was filled with joy. He shouted, "Brothers, hurry up! Shi Tao, detonate the bomb! Lan Xing, move, make sure there's no mistake."
"Yes." Lan Xing also beca tense and responded loudly.
Whether or not the bridge can be blown up is crucial for everyone to have enough ti to retreat. Whether or not the phone lines can be cut off concerns whether we will be detected during the retreat. Whether or not we can hack into the anti-terrorist forces' network concerns whether we have enough ti to open the carriages and rescue people. Every single matter cannot be neglected.
The people who climbed onto the special train scattered the button bombs all over the train and jumped off one by one. The guards on both sides of the carriages behind the special train, having just recovered from the shock of their comrades being flipped off the roof, saw their opponents jumping off the train instead of counterattacking along the carriages, and were puzzled again. This mont of distraction lasted only one or two seconds before the special train roared away.
Everyone anticipated that the enemies on both sides of the carriage would open fire. After jumping off the train, everyone lay prone without moving, covering their heads with their hands to reduce their exposure. Running around would make them easy targets. However, they found that the expected bullets didn't co. They looked up in surprise to see the special train roaring away, not knowing what had happened, but appreciating the turn of events. They stood up and looked toward Luo Zheng.
"Charge!" Luo Zheng had already jumped out of cover, grabbed his weapon, and rushed forward.
Upon hearing this, everyone chased crazily towards the special train's direction. But the special train was too fast; there was no outrunning it on foot. In the blink of an eye, it had traveled far. But no one was anxious, just excitedly following behind. A minute passed, then two. While running, Luo Zheng glanced at the castle ahead, still about three hundred ters away, and shouted, "Get down."
Three hundred ters was considered a safe distance, but Luo Zheng didn't dare be careless and let everyone stop. Everyone understood and dropped to the ground, covering their heads with their hands, remaining motionless.
"Boom!" Just as everyone lay down, a massive explosion sounded ahead, like a sumr thunderclap. Everyone felt the ground tremble, their eardrums sting, and they were shocked, looking up, opening their mouths wide, shouting to reduce the pressure of the soundwaves on their brains.
Before their eyes, they saw what seed like the entire castle being blown up, countless bricks, stones, and bodies flying everywhere, eerily horrifying against the night sky. Smoke billowed, and dust rose. The special train's shadow was nowhere to be seen, like it was buried. Luo Zheng was shocked at this sight, having underestimated the explosion's power.
"Such power! Could it be that the castle's armory was detonated?" Snow Leopard's voice ca through the earpiece, tinged with shock but more so with excitent.
"It's possible. Brothers, charge and kill!" Luo Zheng roared. Things had reached a point where retreat was unnecessary. Everyone agreed with a shout, got up, and charged forward. Two helicopters roared ahead, carrying an endless killing aura.
"The explosion blasted a large pit in the castle, the entire roof was lifted. The special train is visible, but no movent," Ghost Hand's excited voice echoed in the earpiece. The helicopter flew fast, covering the three hundred ters in seconds. With a bird's-eye view, he got a clear look and quickly relayed the information.
Upon hearing that the special train wasn't buried, Luo Zheng was overjoyed and quickened his pace, asking, "Xue Er, have you seen any enemy helicopters coming to support?"
"No sighting," Lan Xue's voice ca through the earpiece.
Luo Zheng was taken aback. No ard enemy helicopters coming for support was unexpected, but there was no ti to dwell on it. Leading everyone forward, they quickly arrived at the castle, seeing helicopters shooting down at people inside the castle. Standing on collapsing bricks, they charged up.
The entire castle was blown from the inside, the top blown off, the walls collapsed, leaving a scene of devastation. The explosion caused surrounding houses to fall, with many people trapped inside unable to escape, shooting coldly from window edges. Luo Zheng ignored these people, leading his n to the top of the walls, seeing a large pit ahead.
The pit was surrounded by collapsed houses, a scene of desolation. The special train stopped in the middle of the pit, showing the strength of the shockwave. Luo Zheng doubted such power could be achieved by button bombs alone unless more explosives were detonated. Watching the rolling smoke in the pit, the special train overturned and motionless, Luo Zheng didn't have ti to ponder and loudly ordered, "Helicopters, watch the periter. Everyone else, charge down and find people."
"Yes." Everyone responded, charging toward the pit, jumping over collapsing bricks and ruins like leopards, roaring away. Many rooms were blocked by the pit's collapsed walls, preventing entry, and could only be circled, but these were spotted and shot down by the helicopters.
Reaching the special train, everyone began examining it. The special train, being so dark, was hard to see inside. Everyone took out flashlights, as did Luo Zheng, rushing to the third carriage and eagerly searching through the windows, finding it empty. Luo Zheng was shocked, his heart sinking, a sense of foreboding arising.
Being overturned sideways, if people were inside, they would surely be below. Looking through the window, one could easily see. Luo Zheng was shocked to see the empty window, his face grew stern, suspecting sothing, he shouted, "Is there anyone?"
"Report, no one in the carriage," the others answered, filled with endless shock.
Having gone through so much, and finding no one inside the carriage, this result was hard to accept. Everyone looked to Luo Zheng. Snow Leopard also looked at Luo Zheng, shocked, seeing his face pale. He couldn't help but shout, "Hurry, search again, be thorough, don't overlook any detail."
"Yes." Everyone shivered, quickly checking again.
Luo Zheng coldly stared at the special train, thinking, fought so hard to find it empty, this is a conspiracy. The enemy foresaw the train hijack. No wonder the guards fought back frantically with heavy weapons, prepared to fight back. Suddenly a thought hit Luo Zheng, making him shiver, he shouted, "Everyone listen to my order, withdraw according to the original plan, quickly—!"
