I put you in charge of those rebellious female soldiers, how come they all became top special forces

Anran stood there, her breath catching in her throat.

She remained calm throughout the entire journey, whether it was the power outage at Jinya Village, the trek down the mountain in the dark, or even when she outmaneuvered the sentries and sneaked into the mine.

But now, seeing Chen Zheng chained up, looking like he deserved a beating, her anger flared up instantly.

Chen Zheng merely raised his eyes.

"It was alright."

"It's a little faster than I expected."

An Ran was so angry at him that she burst out laughing.

She rushed over and whispered, "Are you crazy?"

"Who would use themselves as bait?"

"Do you really think you're an unkillable cockroach, or do you think I'm too old to live and you want me to collect your corpse?"

He hurled three sentences at them in quick succession.

Her voice was low, but every word was filled with anger.

Chen Zheng looked at her and even chuckled softly.

"It's not like we'd need to collect the body."

"I have a good understanding of myself."

"I mainly want to see if you can actually make this happen on your own."

An Ran's hands tightened.

She crouched down to check the lock, but her mouth didn't stop talking.

"Are you testing me?"

"Chen Zheng, you're really sick."

Chen Zheng looked down at her.

The person in front of me was covered in dust, his hair was disheveled, and there was a streak of black ash on the side of his face, but his hands moved very steadily as he took out a hairpin and began to pick the lock.

He paused for a moment, then his voice suddenly lowered.

"Because it's you."

An Ran paused in her movements.

His voice wasn't loud, but it echoed clearly in the narrow mine tunnel.

"I dared to take this gamble because it was you."

An Ran paused for a moment.

Her anger suddenly dissipated.

She didn't look up, but her ears suddenly felt hot, and even her breathing became a beat off.

Chen Zheng continued.

"If Jiang Nan were to come instead, I'd be worried she'd blow up the mine."

"If someone else were to do it, I would have to be distracted and cover everything."

"You are different."

An Ran gritted her teeth and her hands moved much faster.

"Shut up."

"Say one more word, and I'll seal your mouth shut."

Chen Zheng hummed in agreement.

"Okay, whatever you say."

The voice just fell.

Footsteps could be heard from the other end of the mine tunnel.

more than one.

An Ran's eyes sharpened, and she turned around to raise the submachine gun she had captured.

Several armed men emerged from around the corner. The leader, a man with pockmarked face, carried a short shotgun and was followed by seven or eight others.

The other person glanced at An Ran, paused for a moment, and then cursed.

"Damn, are the people in that village just sitting around doing nothing? They can't even stop a woman?"

The other person sneered.

"Perfect, let's tie them all up together."

"The men sell roads, the women sell money, and they can do both without any problems."

An Ran's gaze darkened.

Just as she was about to fire, Chen Zheng spoke first.

"Don't rush."

"The one behind the iron frame in the upper left corner."

"The two behind the mine cart."

"There's another guy crouching behind the pile of scrap on the right, trying to ambush you."

Take a deep breath.

The next second, she raised the muzzle of her gun.

boom.

The first shot hit the overhead light, plunging a large area of ​​the mine into darkness.

The sentry hiding behind the iron frame had barely peeked out when he was shot down by a second shot and rolled down from the height.

Chaos erupted in the mine.

"Fire! Fire!"

"The woman is on the right."

"Damn it, where did the light go?"

An Ran slipped and fell sideways, skidding alongside the abandoned minecart. Bullets grazed the metal, sending sparks flying.

Chen Zheng's voice remained calm as it came through.

"Keep pressing to the left."

"Don't be greedy, cut off their sight first."

An Ran pulled the trigger, and the short burst shattered the two emergency lights on the side.

The entire mine went completely dark.

Only the moonlight leaking from the ventilation shaft and a distant miner's lamp flickering on and off remained.

Those armed men were completely stunned.

They originally intended to capture the suspect alive, but upon seeing him, the lights went out, then the person disappeared, and the scene became a complete mess.

Where are they?

"How should I know? It was just over there a moment ago."

"No way, is she cheating?"

No sooner had someone finished cursing than An Ran appeared from the side and shot him in the shoulder.

The man then screamed and fell backward.

Almost at the same time.

Click.

An Ran finally managed to pry open the last lock with the hair clip in her hand.

The iron chain on Chen Zheng's wrist was loosened.

He stretched his wrists and stood up.

When the pockmarked man saw Chen Zheng escape, his scalp tingled with fear, and he raised his short-range gun to fire.

boom.

Shotgun pellets struck the iron chair, sending sparks flying.

But Chen Zheng was no longer there.

The next second, he was right in front of the other person.

With a single twist of his hand, the shotgun was turned around, and the butt of the gun slammed into the man's chin.

With a crisp cracking sound, the person collapsed on the spot.

An armed man rushed up from behind, and Chen Zheng grabbed his arm and pushed him forward to act as a human shield, blocking the barrage of gunfire from behind.

Then, with a thrust of his knee, the man involuntarily bent over, and his fate became unknown.

The scene immediately descended into chaos.

Just as An Ran took down one who was trying to climb to a higher point, Chen Zheng had already taken down three others in close combat.

The iron chain rattled in his hands, striking the lamp stand and the sheet metal with a sound that sent chills down one's spine.

The mine was in complete chaos.

Some people tried to run, some tried to find cover, and some fired wildly and cursed. They couldn't even see their own people anymore.

Chen Zheng turned his head to avoid a shot and whispered.

"Diesel drum at three o'clock."

Without a second thought, An Ran immediately turned the gun around.

boom.

The bullet pierced the barrel, and oil sprayed all over the ground.

The other armed man hurriedly retreated, slipped, and fell into the pile of rubble.

Just then.

Suddenly, an even louder burst of gunfire erupted outside.

It's not inside the mine, it's outside.

Immediately afterwards, the barking of dogs, the sound of pickup trucks slamming on their brakes, and the shouts of men mingled together.

Holden's men caught up with them.

As soon as the two groups arrived at Black Vulture Slope, they didn't even bother with pleasantries and started fighting right away from the outside of the mine.

Bullets flew everywhere, and someone outside threw a homemade explosive, which blasted half of the wooden wall of the side compartment into shape.

The fire suddenly burst into flames.

The firelight shone into the mine.

The whole scene descended into chaos.

An Ran looked up and glanced at it, her pupils shrinking.

"A free-for-all?"

Chen Zheng punched the person in front of him, knocking him over, and shrugged.

"normal."

"People here are all wary of each other and covet each other; it's common for thieves to double-cross each other."

After saying that, he casually picked up a rifle from the ground and tossed it to An Ran.

"Reload."

"Follow me on the left-hand mine roadway."

Anran took the gun and had just changed the magazine when a burst of light suddenly appeared from the side compartment outside.

Three figures sprang out of the fire.

It was the middle-aged man who had turned back to help, protecting his sister, along with two other Chinese laborers.

They were carrying burning rag bottles and smashing them against the side compartments, their eyes filled with ferocity.

Coming back to help isn't necessarily out of gratitude.

After all, without An Ran and Chen Zheng, were they really going to walk back to China?

The middle-aged man threw things while yelling.

"Damn it, burn it."

"I'll burn you all to death."
