Chapter 433 Begins to Turn Quietly
The silence in the air made Su Ming feel an unprecedented sense of oppression. Every second, time seemed to freeze. He could hear his own rapid breathing, the beating of his heart, and even feel every nerve tense. No matter how hard he tried to control his emotions, the heavy feeling of unease deep within him would not dissipate.
At that moment, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly reached his ears. Su Ming's gaze instantly focused, and he quickly turned his head, looking alertly in the direction of the sound. In that instant, the entire atmosphere became tense, as if a monster in the darkness would pounce on them at any moment.
"The enemy is coming." Su Ming whispered, his tone full of vigilance.
Zheng Yaoxian's eyes instantly grew fierce, and he raised his gun almost without hesitation, ready to respond to any possible threat. The two men quickly entered combat mode, every nerve on edge, capturing every detail of their surroundings.
The footsteps were getting closer and clearer. Su Ming's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he could see every corner of the room clearly. He knew that the enemy had discovered their tracks.
"They came from that side." Zheng Yaoxian whispered, pointing to a door on the left.
Su Ming's heart skipped a beat, his face expressionless. He knew a head-on confrontation wasn't the best option. He took a deep breath and calmly made his decision.
"Let's withdraw from the other side." He whispered, "Quick!"
Even though the enemy was approaching, they might not be able to quickly discover their position. The warehouse was complex and there were plenty of places to hide, but the question was, could they quietly find a more advantageous position before the enemy noticed?
He tugged at Zheng Yaoxian's sleeve, and the two quickly adjusted their positions. Su Ming whispered, "We need to hide and observe their actions. We can't act rashly, and it's best not to show up."
Zheng Yaoxian nodded slightly, his eyes as sharp as a knife, as if every moment he paused was to better detect any flaws the enemy might make. He knew Su Ming was right—any overreaction could expose their position and put them in utter danger.
They quickly moved to a corner of the warehouse, a gap filled with discarded items. The surrounding iron shelves and debris provided them with excellent cover, enough to prevent the enemy from discovering them for a while. Su Ming's heartbeat gradually slowed, and his anxiety was replaced by rationality. He knew that this was a turning point, the key to success or failure.
Hiding in the shadows, Su Ming still didn't completely relax. He thought to himself: They need to observe the enemy's movements and understand their current deployment before they can determine their next move. After all, if the enemy suddenly gathers and attacks on them, it will undoubtedly be a losing battle.
He held his breath, trying to make his presence disappear into the darkness as much as possible. Zheng Yaoxian remained steady as a rock. He stood beside Su Ming, his eyes sharp, his ears filled with the sounds coming from outside. He knew that the longer they delayed, the more likely their whereabouts would be exposed, but for now, he could only endure.
The rapid footsteps seemed to be getting closer, reigniting Su Ming's inner tension. He gripped the gun tightly, his fingertips turning slightly white. The enemy's footsteps rhythmically moved through the abandoned space, seemingly not in a rush to search, but rather patrolling in an orderly manner. Su Ming's brow furrowed slightly, wondering if the enemy had already sensed their presence.
"We have to break their rhythm." Su Ming thought to himself, but he knew it was not an easy task. Breaking the enemy's rhythm meant exposing their own position, which meant they would be passive.
"What do you think their goal is?" Zheng Yaoxian suddenly spoke, his voice low and almost swallowed by the surrounding silence. The conversation between the two was extremely brief, each sentence carefully considered.
Su Ming pondered for a moment, "They might be searching for something, not just sweeping blindly. If we can figure out their true intentions, we might be able to find a way out."
Zheng Yaoxian nodded, his eyes becoming sharper. "Can we separate some of them from their team and separate them?"
"Sure." Su Ming's eyes suddenly lit up. "If the enemy's forces are dispersed, it will be easier to find opportunities. We can create some distractions to attract their attention."
The two exchanged glances, each knowing that every next step was crucial. Defeating the enemy alone wouldn't be easy, but if they could find the right moment, they might have a chance.
In the silence, the enemy's footsteps suddenly became blurred, as if they had stopped. Su Ming's heart tightened again. He sensed from the subtle changes in the air that the enemy had no intention of continuing to advance.
He held his breath, peering through the cracks in the corner. He saw the enemy troops gradually gathering, clearly beginning a concentrated search, trying to find a possible breakthrough. Su Ming pursed his lips. He could sense that while the enemy had been vigilant during their attack, they also didn't have complete control of the situation.
"They've started to surround us." Zheng Yaoxian reminded in a low voice, his voice carrying a hint of calm analysis.
"Yes." Su Ming's mind raced. "They might already know we're nearby, but they haven't confirmed our exact location."
This thought brought a sigh of relief, but it also complicated the situation. The enemy had already entered the search phase, and once they had completely determined their whereabouts, they would launch a frenzied attack. If they couldn't break through the enemy's blockade, they would have no choice but to wait for death here.
Su Ming's eyes were sharp, and his lips moved slightly as he whispered, "We need to split up and create chaos. You go to the right, and I'll go around from the left."
Zheng Yaoxian didn't hesitate at all. He glanced at the enemy team in front of him and nodded, "Understood."
They all knew that it was difficult for two people to fight the enemy alone. The best strategy was to distract the enemy, force them to split up, and make them lose their ability to judge in the confusion.
Su Ming stared wide-eyed at the enemy across from him, his concentration focused, waiting for the right moment. His breathing began to grow heavy, but without a trace of panic. His heartbeat was like a drum, rapid and powerful, as if the entire world was resonating with him. At this moment, he had no way to retreat, only to move forward.
The enemy's troops gradually dispersed, and each team began to search in different directions. The enemy's pace became more orderly, as if they were carrying out some kind of capture operation step by step.
"Now." A ruthlessness flashed in Su Ming's eyes. With a slight wave of his hand, Zheng Yaoxian successfully escaped from his hiding place and approached the enemy silently.
Su Ming didn't hesitate. He quietly moved to the left, trying to avoid the enemy's sight. He carefully crossed the open ground, keeping his steps light and nimble to avoid attracting the enemy's attention. Each step seemed to be treading on the edge of thin air.
"Hurry up, hurry up..." Su Ming urged himself silently in his heart, feeling that time was slipping away bit by bit, as if every second was full of endless danger.
He stopped and hid behind a pile of old furniture, quietly observing the enemy's actions. Every time an enemy passed by him, his heart beat violently for a few times, and he dared not take a deep breath until the person was far away.
Su Ming's gaze gradually solidified, as if piercing the shadows before him and returning to an unforgettable time. Back then, he too had pursued a simple life, immersed in the mundane, free from worries and burdens. But everything had changed, like a sudden storm, tearing his world apart. Now, he was no longer the ordinary man who had once lived a peaceful life. Every action, every breath, seemed to be weighed against the weight of life and death.
The memories of that time were like a slowly unfolding movie, playing frame by frame in his mind. Whenever he stopped and closed his eyes briefly, an inexplicable emotion would surge in his heart.
Back then, he was just an ordinary young man, living in a bustling city. It seemed as if nothing had happened, day after day, year after year. Every morning, the first rays of sunlight shone on the windowsill, the air was crisp, and the cries of street vendors echoed, as if everything was operating according to a certain rhythm. Su Ming had thought he would live his life like this until one day—at that moment, he realized that the gears of fate had quietly begun to turn.
At that time, Su Ming felt that every moment of his life was filled with uncertainty. His heart was once tangled, until one day, he made an important decision, and that decision changed everything for him.
Thinking back, he couldn't help but feel a shudder. Back then, he wasn't as resilient and calm as he is now. He was more impulsive and passionate, filled with fear and doubt about the unknown. He spent countless sleepless nights questioning why he had reached this point, why he had shouldered such heavy responsibilities and tasks. Every choice he made felt like he was walking on thin ice, as if he were treading on the edge of a cliff. Any slight mistake could lead him into a bottomless abyss.
During those days, he often tossed and turned at night, reminiscing about his past self, the carefree young man. He remembered that one morning, he woke up and sat quietly by the window, looking out at the bustling streets. Suddenly, he had a strong feeling: had he lost himself in this city, lost in this chaotic struggle?
