Chapter 431 Feeling More Nervous
Although Su Ming had already started looking for a breakthrough, Zheng Yaoxian knew that at the most critical moment, they still had to rely on the tacit understanding between them.
Not far away, the enemy's footsteps gradually receded, seemingly unaware of their approach. A surge of hope rose in Su Ming's heart; the situation before him didn't seem as dangerous as he had imagined. He breathed a sigh of relief, but then came a heightened sense of alarm. He knew the enemy might have only temporarily let their guard down, and the next search would be even more thorough.
"Now, take action." Su Ming ordered in a low voice.
He quickly rushed out of cover, aiming for a loophole the enemy hadn't noticed yet, and made the quickest decision. Zheng Yaoxian appeared silently in the other direction almost at the same time. The two of them coordinated perfectly, like two flashes of lightning, swiftly passing through the enemy's blind spot.
The enemy's reaction was almost instantaneous. They turned abruptly, a flash of alarm in their eyes, but it was too late. Su Ming and Zheng Yaoxian had already successfully broken through their defenses and quickly occupied a favorable position.
"Everyone get down!" Su Ming growled and quickly squatted down.
Zheng Yaoxian's gun was already raised, his eyes calm and his movements swift. The two men stopped talking, every second precious. The enemy had sensed something was amiss and launched a swift counterattack. Su Ming's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, but he didn't hesitate. He aimed his gun at the target and unleashed a series of precise shots.
The sound of explosions, mixed with the roar of gunfire, shattered the silence of the night. The enemy let out a panicked cry, but Su Ming and Zheng Yaoxian didn't hesitate to seize the opportunity to break through. The gunfire scattered like shards of shattered glass. Their goal was clear: to quickly cross and find the next hiding place.
"Turn left." Su Ming gave the command quickly, and his body tilted to the left in an instant, almost parallel to the wall.
"Stop," Su Ming suddenly whispered, waving his arm forward. Zheng Yaoxian stopped almost immediately. There was no extraneous emotion in his eyes, only calm execution.
The air was thick with the scent of gunpowder, and the night grew increasingly silent, broken only by the occasional sound of gunfire and roars from afar. Su Ming's heartbeat grew even more rapid, as if every second brought an uncontrollable danger closer. He slowly crouched, lowering his body, and peered through a broken hole in the wall toward the distant pile of wooden crates.
Several enemies were busy among the scattered wooden crates. They hadn't noticed Su Ming and Zheng Yaoxian's position, their heads still bent as they examined something. Su Ming's gaze locked on one of the crates. Unlike the others, it wasn't worn out. Instead, it was tightly wrapped in cloth, giving it a unique appearance.
He suddenly became alert. These wooden boxes looked ordinary, but one was deliberately wrapped, clearly not ordinary supplies. The mysterious aura made Su Ming feel uneasy—this was not a simple storage facility, but perhaps part of a major enemy plan.
"Zheng Yaoxian." He called out softly, his eyes still fixed on the wrapped wooden box. "What do you think they are doing?"
Zheng Yaoxian squatted beside Su Ming, his eyes following him closely, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he was silent for a few seconds. At that moment, Su Ming could feel the calm thinking power in his eyes.
"They're loading something," Zheng Yaoxian analyzed softly, "perhaps spare supplies or other materials, but I don't believe it's just simple tools."
Su Ming nodded, his alertness growing even stronger. The enemy's high-profile presence here was definitely not just for the transportation of supplies. Their intentions might be more complex and dangerous than Su Ming had anticipated.
"That box doesn't look like ordinary supplies." Su Ming whispered, not daring to look away. "Perhaps it contains what we need."
"It could be important intelligence, or it could be explosives." Zheng Yaoxian's tone was calm, but his eyes were sharp. "However, no matter what the situation is, we can't act rashly."
Su Ming closed his eyes, carefully considering his next move. He knew the situation had become increasingly complex, and every step was fraught with risk. Rashly approaching the box could expose their whereabouts. Allowing the enemy to continue their actions could lead to even more fatal consequences.
"We need to find an opportunity to get closer," Su Ming made a decision, "but we must not expose ourselves directly."
"Understood." Zheng Yaoxian didn't say much. The calmness and trust in his eyes seemed to require no further words. He patted Su Ming's shoulder firmly and then began to move silently towards a secluded corner.
Su Ming watched Zheng Yaoxian's back disappear into the darkness, feeling an inexplicable sense of oppression in his heart. He clenched his teeth and tried to keep his breathing steady, knowing that he had to calm down.
Slowly, Su Ming began to move stealthily, moving softly and almost silently through the gaps between the dilapidated buildings, taking every step with extreme caution. He could hear the enemies' quiet conversations in the distance, but he dared not be distracted, fearing that a moment of negligence would lead to fatal danger.
Every time he lowered his head and glanced at the ground, he couldn't help but feel the fear of being discovered. That feeling followed him everywhere, like a beast lurking in the darkness, ready to pounce on him at any moment.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Ming finally found a suitable position—just a dozen meters from the wrapped wooden box. He held his breath and tried to tuck his body into the pile of discarded planks. The enemy before him remained unaware of his presence. Su Ming could feel the tension growing stronger, as if every second was a test of his nerves.
He took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and decided to take the quickest action the moment the enemy's attention was diverted.
Suddenly, an enemy in the distance whispered, "Hurry up, don't dawdle, prepare to transport!"
That sound instantly made Su Ming realize that the enemy seemed to be preparing to transfer these supplies elsewhere. His heart trembled, knowing that this was a rare opportunity - if he didn't act now, the wrapped wooden box might be completely taken away, and any possibility of contact would be lost.
"Action." Su Ming whispered to himself and made a quick decision.
He leaped from his cover, swiftly crossing the open space under the cover of darkness, approaching the box. Every step felt like treading on a knife's edge, and Su Ming's heartbeat was already accelerating to its limit. Although the surroundings were silent, he knew that the enemy could discover his tracks at any time.
Just as he approached the wooden box, he heard hurried footsteps. Su Ming stopped abruptly and quickly ducked behind a pile of scrap wood. Through the gap, he saw several enemies approaching him, their eyes filled with alertness.
"Damn it." Su Ming felt anxious. Every nerve in his body was stretched to the limit, fearing that a single mistake would expose him.
The enemy drew closer. Su Ming held his breath, his body tense as a bowstring. Every second seemed to stretch uncontrollably, as if time had frozen in time.
Fortunately, the enemy did not stop, but continued to walk towards the wooden box. They did not notice Su Ming's hiding place, and seemed unaware that he was only a few meters away.
At this moment, Su Ming felt a strong sense of danger surge in his heart. He knew that this opportunity was fleeting, and if he didn't act now, the consequences would be disastrous. Just as the enemy was about to get closer, Su Ming suddenly stood up and rushed towards the wooden box at almost the fastest speed, with the pistol in his hand, aiming at the nearest enemy.
"Bang! Bang!" Two crisp gunshots broke the silence.
The enemy was completely unable to react. One fell to the ground in panic, while another was shot by Su Ming before he could react. In that instant, the tension in the air froze, and time seemed to stand still for a few seconds.
Su Ming immediately leaned forward, grabbed the wrapped wooden box, and quickly retreated. The enemies around him seemed to be still recovering. Su Ming's heartbeat accelerated, but his mind remained remarkably clear. He knew he had to quickly find his hiding place with the box before the enemy recovered, to avoid being surrounded.
"Let's go!" he whispered to Zheng Yaoxian.
Su Ming clutched the wooden box tightly in his hands, his heart pounding violently, as if every second brought an unforeseen disaster closer. The pressure in the air made it nearly impossible to breathe, and the surrounding silence enveloped him like an oppressive force. He knew that even the slightest mistake could cause this operation to spiral out of control.
He slowly crouched down, his ear pressed against the wooden box, trying to make his breathing light and silent. Zheng Yaoxian's location was still unclear, but the feeling of unease grew more palpable. Every second of pause made him more nervous.
"Zheng Yaoxian, what's the situation?" Su Ming gritted his teeth and whispered, almost lowering his voice through clenched teeth.
no respond.
He knew Zheng Yaoxian couldn't have failed to hear. His uneasiness grew, almost to the point of feeling an invisible oppression from the darkness. Had the enemy noticed their movements? With so much equipment on them, being discovered would be a death sentence.
One second, two seconds, three seconds——
"Su Ming, I'm ten meters in front of you on the left." Zheng Yaoxian's voice finally sounded in his ears, calm and cool, like a taut string that could bounce back at any time.
Su Ming felt a slight sense of relief, but he still clenched his grip on the wooden box nervously. At that moment, the air was so thick that he could barely breathe. He knew full well that if the enemy became aware of their presence, the consequences would be disastrous.
