After observing for a while, Ling Chen touched the wall and cautiously moved forward. Soon, voices from a conversation ca from ahead.
"Mr. Zhu, the road ahead is completely blocked. We must find another way to exit," said the voice, which seed to be Song Mingzhe.
"We’ve already checked on the way here. All exits are completely sealed, and we can’t get out. I guess the situation is similar with other exits," Zhu Hong’s deep voice responded.
"We shouldn’t have detonated the explosives," Song Mingzhe’s tone carried a hint of regret.
So it was them! Ling Chen frowned to himself. He had been wondering who set off the explosives, and it turned out to be that bastard Zhu Hong. As he pondered, Zhu Hong’s voice ca from ahead: "Didn’t Ling Chen co? I wanted to detonate the explosives to bury that guy underground. Unfortunately, he’s too tough and still didn’t die. Plus, the buildings here are too dilapidated, and the blast waves unexpectedly caused such a large impact, sealing all the exits. I didn’t anticipate this." After a pause, Zhu Hong continued, "Uncle Song, you’re sure that Ling Chen ca, right?"
"Absolutely certain. My hawk has been circling in the sky and spotted him when Ling Chen arrived."
"In that case, we need to hurry. If Ling Chen finds his way here, we’re going to be in trouble."
"Brother, why do you have to go after Ling Chen? Can’t you coexist peacefully? No matter what misunderstandings you had before, you can all sit down and talk it out. Once the misunderstandings are resolved, everything will be fine. If you don’t trust Ling Chen, at least you should trust your sister, right? I can help persuade Ling Chen to talk it out with you." The voice wasn’t anyone else but Zhu Xiaozhu, whom Ling Chen had been looking for.
Hearing Zhu Xiaozhu’s voice, Ling Chen couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief. He had been worried sothing happened to her, but now it seed Zhu Hong had already rescued her.
"Little sister, don’t be naive. There’s no possibility of reconciliation between Ling Chen and anymore. No! You can’t say that; it’s not that there aren’t any ways to reconcile."
"Brother, what way? Tell , and I’ll do whatever I can to help you two."
Zhu Hong laughed indifferently, "As long as Ling Chen is dead, my grievances with him will be wiped clean."
"Brother..."
"Enough! Little sister, don’t say anymore. This isn’t the ti for that. We should focus on getting out of here. Uncle Song, the explosion here is sure to attract a large number of police. If we leave like this, we might get caught by the police. We need to find a way to shake them off."
Song Mingzhe replied, "Mr. Zhu, there are ways, but they’re a bit dangerous."
"Oh? Let’s hear it."
"Didn’t we just use explosives to blow up the underground beams? There are still a lot of explosives installed around. We can use those explosives to blast a new exit. However, when the explosives go off, it’ll likely cause a chain reaction. By then, the buildings nearby might all collapse, and those outside might also be affected, we..."
Before Song Mingzhe could finish, Zhu Hong had already taken over, saying: "I understand what you an. There’s always danger. We can’t stay trapped here forever. As for those outside... humph! What does it matter to whether they live or die? Let’s go collect the explosives first."
Listening to their footsteps gradually fading away, Ling Chen hurriedly followed behind them. Soon, he saw Zhu Hong stop at a spot and take out the explosives stuck in the beam, stacking them together, totaling twenty to thirty sticks. Seeing the explosives piled up, Ling Chen couldn’t help but furrow his brow.
If these explosives are detonated, they’ll definitely trigger a chain reaction. By then, even the police outside might be in danger.
No way!
I have to stop Zhu Hong. With this thought, Ling Chen’s gaze swept over, locking onto Song Mingzhe. At that mont, Song Mingzhe was grabbing Zhu Xiaozhu’s arm, presumably to prevent her from interfering with Zhu Hong.
"Brother, do you really have to do this?"
"Why not? Do you want to stay trapped under here?"
"But what about those people outside? Don’t you care if they live or die at all?"
"I only care about myself; what do others’ lives have to do with ? Alright, little sister, stay quietly there and don’t get in my way." As he spoke, Zhu Hong gathered all the explosives on the ground and headed towards the blocked exit. Judging by his actions, he clearly intended to blast open the sealed exit.
Seeing this, Ling Chen stealthily followed behind, step by step, moving forward. His goal was clear. As long as he took care of Song Mingzhe, Zhu Hong wouldn’t be a threat at all.
Four ters... three ters... two ters... Seeing the distance to Song Mingzhe closing in, Ling Chen raised his fist, Inner Strength gathered, ready to knock out his opponent when he was caught off guard. However, just as Ling Chen was about to approach Song Mingzhe, Song Mingzhe suddenly turned his head, his sharp eyes locking onto Ling Chen.
Four eyes t, and Ling Chen was slightly startled. This guy’s reaction was incredibly keen. What Ling Chen didn’t know was that Song Mingzhe was a Beast Tar, specializing in taming wild animals. Furthermore, Song Mingzhe had lived in the jungle since he was a child, and his eyesight, hearing, and reaction speed were several tis that of an ordinary person. So when Ling Chen was within two to three ters, Song Mingzhe imdiately sensed it.
At this mont, Ling Chen didn’t have ti to think and directly charged at him, throwing a punch aid at Song Mingzhe’s head.
The punch was fierce, reaching Song Mingzhe in an instant. Seeing the fist approach, Song Mingzhe didn’t dodge at all, instead pulling Zhu Xiaozhu in front of him, using her body to block Ling Chen’s punch.
Seeing this, Ling Chen hurriedly pulled back his fist, withdrawing to retreat.
"Ling Chen? Tsk, tsk! I was just wondering if I’d run into you down here, and here you are so soon."
Hearing Zhu Hong’s voice, Ling Chen focused his gaze and calmly replied, "I didn’t see your body, so of course, I had to confirm if you were dead." With that, Ling Chen turned his head towards Zhu Xiaozhu and asked with concern, "How are you, are you alright?"
Zhu Xiaozhu bit her lip lightly and said softly, "I’m fine."
"Zhu Hong, give yourself up. The police are everywhere outside; you have no chance of escaping."
"Ha! How do you know I can’t escape?" Zhu Hong sneered, "Don’t you see, once I set off these bombs, whether those police outside can survive is the real question."
"Zhu Hong, I’m here. Do you think I’ll let you do that?"
