Chapter 40

  What to do, must really die in the mouths of these ants? Must really die in a foreign land? He thought of his mother and father, thought of all his relatives, and Li Nan and those reporters. They were still in the hands of that ruthless "devil". His own hands and feet were tightly bound, the icy well water was slowly draining his strength, he felt an unprecedented sense of helplessness and despair. Slowly leaning against the wall of the well to squat down, suddenly he felt a hard object brushing against his hand. Immediately his spirit shook, carefully searching upwards from where he had just squatted, afraid of missing that hard object.

  The walls of the well were made of mud, and in the muddy ground there was a stone that gave him hope to escape. He rubbed the rope tied to his hand against the stone. The rope was slowly worn away. After about half an hour of grinding, he felt the rope on his hands slightly loose, knowing it had broken, and with a forceful struggle, his hands were freed. His heart began to beat violently, ignoring the stench of others' vomit and dirty water, he bent down to untie the ropes from his feet. Then, using his wall-climbing skills, he quietly climbed out of the well. He surveyed the surroundings and saw a flat house about 100 meters in front of him with two sentries at the door. The same was true for the houses on both sides, with no hidden places to hide. The ants on his body were crawling into his skin, making it unbearably itchy and painful.

  He turned his head and continued to scout out the situation behind him. He hoped to find a place that would make it easy for him to take action, as he now needed to deal with the ants on his body.

  The terrain behind was slightly better than the other three sides, as there was a military truck that could provide some cover. He slowly moved towards it, like a twisting snake, silent and stealthy.

  He quietly slipped under the truck, and at this point he was only a dozen meters away from the sentry. If he had a crossbow, he could have fired two arrows at the two sentries in front of him with both hands. But he didn't have anything now, and running out would definitely be discovered. What to do? His brain quickly turned around, while searching for any usable tools on the side. But there was nothing. He had no choice but to crawl out again and slowly climb onto the carriage. As he climbed up, he saw a toolbox on his left. He quietly pulled out the latch of the toolbox. With his left hand gently holding the lid of the toolbox, his right hand carefully searched inside. He fished out two screwdrivers, and looking at the two screwdrivers in his hands, he revealed a satisfied smile. Then he dived under the truck again, waiting quietly for an opportunity like a wolf waiting for its prey. When both men turned around, he simultaneously exerted force with both hands, and the two screwdrivers flew towards their throats like arrows off the string. Only two "ah"s were heard, and the two men struggled only once before they would no longer see tomorrow's sun. At the same time, he rushed over quickly, grabbed a gun, and charged into the bungalow. Two "pious army" soldiers who came out after hearing the cry didn't even have time to see his face before being sent to meet "Allah" by a burst of gunfire.

  The sound of gunfire quickly alerted the other devout soldiers, who immediately surrounded the area from all sides. Yuan Shuai ran inside along the corridor. Because he had been blindfolded all along, he couldn't remember where Li Nan and the others were being held, so he could only rely on the footsteps he heard earlier to judge. He clearly remembered that when he felt the temperature change, they should have already exited the gate. The last right turn before exiting the gate was 71 steps. So it should be about 50 meters away, and when he ran forward for about 50 meters, there was indeed a left turn in the road. He slowly stuck his head out against the wall to see two sentries, then retreated back to the corner, feeling a bit tense, after all, this was with real guns and bullets, so he had to adjust himself carefully. But by now, the pursuers behind him had already caught up. He only had one minute to adjust himself. As the footsteps of the pursuers got closer and closer, he no longer had time to think. Rushing out was a burst of gunfire, and two sentries fell down. He picked up a gun and several hand grenades and continued running forward for over ten meters before encountering two sentries who had rushed over after hearing the gunfire. The two sentries immediately opened fire on him, but fortunately, his reaction was quick enough that as soon as the guns fired, he immediately dropped to the ground and launched another burst of gunfire. Getting up again, he ran several dozen meters before reaching a right turn in the road, where he threw a hand grenade behind him while turning the corner. A few seconds later, the pursuers who had just caught up were knocked down by an explosion.

  There's just one more intersection and it should be Guan Li Nan's place.

  At this time, Li Nan and the others had also heard the gunfire and explosions outside. The loud-mouthed one shouted at his subordinates: "Who the hell are they? How did they get in? They're really a bunch of useless trash."

  Li Nan laughed loudly and said: "It's the king of special forces who can strangle your neck, haha!"

  "Impossible! Is he a god or something? He's been locked in that little 'house' and no one has ever escaped from there." He growled.

  Li Nan continued: "He's not a god, but he always manages to do something unimaginable, and most importantly, what he says can be cashed. Do you feel like your head is a bit uncomfortable now?"

  "Come with me and capture him alive," he roared at several of his men standing nearby.

  "Yes", they all responded in unison and then rushed out.

  He turned around and said to Li Nan: "If I can catch him once, I can catch him twice. This time, I must personally cut him down."

  "Haha, I bet you can't catch me."

  At this time, Yuan Shuai had been attacked from both inside and outside. There were pursuers coming from behind, and in front of him, there were dense footsteps. In the midst of extreme urgency, he could only climb up to the beam using his wall-climbing skills along the wall of the corridor. When people from both sides arrived, they couldn't find Yuan Shuai anywhere. Naturally, when they looked up, they saw several grenades flying down from the beam. A few who didn't have time to dodge were blown into the air. The others who dodged only lived a few seconds longer than those who didn't. For Yuan Shuai, shooting at the targets on the ground was like target practice. However, those leeches kept biting and tearing at his body, making him feel very uncomfortable.
