Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

Chapter 499 A Promise Between Men

"Xie Dan, Xiao Tian, ​​A Hong, the demolition team, come down with me. The rest of you, set up a defensive line here and block the enemy."

With time running out, An Xiaohai didn't ask Zhou Xun why she was crying. He quickly issued orders: except for those whose names were called, everyone else immediately dispersed and sought advantageous terrain to prepare to block the enemy.

Just then, a call came through the headset from another squad.

"TA1 calling, A1 has been cleared! A1 has been cleared!"

"TA2 calling, A2 has been cleared!"

"TB2 calling, B2 has been cleared! Discovered a large amount of white bricks. Repeat: Discovered a large amount of white bricks!"

"You all go down first, I'll be right down!" After giving the order, An Xiaohai checked his watch. Only 18 minutes had passed since the operation began.

All the teams completed their missions ahead of schedule, except for Team TB1, which gave no feedback whatsoever.

"TB1, report the situation immediately!"

"TB1 Roger. B1 is quickly cleaned up. We are attempting to blast the basement."

"OK, TA1 and TA2, immediately support TB1 and TB2. After burning the white bricks, go support TB1. The four island landing teams will evacuate immediately after the mission is complete."

"TA1 Calling. I don't think TB1 needs so much support; we should go and support you, sir!"

"This is an order! Remember, burn TB1 before leaving!"

"Yes, sir!"

An Xiaohai turned off the walkie-talkie and looked at the battlefield outside. Because they had air superiority and were being suppressed by snipers, the Y country's ambush troops had almost no chance to fight back.

The assault boats that were not destroyed were also forced to return to their hiding places and take cover to fight off the pursuit of the armed helicopters.

Li Wenliang and his two companions had already pulled three other prisoners onto the speedboat that had come to pick them up. These people didn't even look in An Xiaohai's direction; they were just eager to escape.

An Xiaohai smirked, ignoring them, and turned to head towards the second floor of the dungeon.

The second floor of the dungeon was already illuminated by emergency lights. All the people who had come down first stood in a circle, frozen in place. The faint sound of Kwan Kee's weeping could still be heard.

"What's going on? Why are you standing there like an idiot?!" An Xiaohai asked, frowning.

No one answered; everyone turned their heads away. Yan Hong sighed softly and made way for An Xiaohai, who stepped forward and immediately his pupils contracted sharply.

Two people were lying on the ground, their upper bodies naked, their dark skin covered with cracks, and their bodies were swollen with unhealthy swelling.

The pants were reduced to tattered strips of cloth wrapped around the waist, and both legs were badly rotten from the knees down. The skin and flesh of the feet were almost gone, and the bare bones were exposed.

One of them had his eyes closed and was no longer breathing. The other was leaning against a security officer, with shackles on both hands. The chains connecting the shackles had clearly been broken by a gunshot.

Kunji knelt beside the man, holding a screwdriver, tears streaming down his face as he tried to unlock the shackles, but he failed many times; the shackles were completely rusted shut.

Kunji may have used a little too much force; the screwdriver slipped, and the shackles struck the man's wrist, immediately tearing his skin. However, no blood flowed out.

"I'm sorry! I'm useless, I can't open it! I can't open it no matter what I do! I'm sorry! Waaah~" Kunji threw away the screwdriver, sat on the ground and cried loudly.

An Xiaohai's heart clenched painfully, and his eyes instantly welled up with tears. The person sitting on the ground suddenly brightened up, his gaze fixed intently on An Xiaohai's wrist.

At this moment, the red string bracelet on An Xiaohai's wrist was not fake, but the one that Chen Xiru had personally put on him.

"Xiao Hai, once they capture our people, they'll lock them up in the dungeon and torture them slowly."

When people are being tortured to the point of collapse, they are given antibiotics or taken out of the water dungeon for treatment. Once their injuries are healed, they are locked up again and tortured.

There's a row of houses over there; that's where they receive treatment. Sometimes they even bring people to stay here for a few days to observe...

"Shut up! Don't say anymore!" An Xiaohai interrupted Zhou Xun's story, his voice as cold as ice: "What are you all standing here for? Don't you have any work to do?"

An Xiaohai roared, and everyone finally snapped out of their grief.

Xu Tianyou gritted his teeth and unzipped his backpack, emptying all the TNT inside. Everyone immediately got to work, setting up explosives on the concrete pillars on the second floor of the dungeon.

"Big brother, you're finally here! Quick! Save him! Save him!" Kunji cried out in anguish.

An Xiaohai stepped forward, squatted down, patted Kunji on the shoulder, and turned his gaze to the person lying on the ground. There was no need to ask who he was; his gaze had already said it all.

This person is Dandelion, Lin Jianguo, an undercover agent of the Armed Police, Chen Xiru's lover, and Lin Xuan'er's father. It's truly unknown what force supported him, allowing him to persevere for more than a decade in such a hellish environment.

Lin Jianguo stared intently at An Xiaohai, his lips trembling and his fingers shaking.

An Xiaohai smiled slightly, took the bracelet off his own hand, and put it on Lin Jianguo's wrist. Although An Xiaohai was being careful enough, he still managed to scrape a small patch of Lin Jianguo's skin.

At this moment, Lin Jianguo was like a rag doll stretched to its limit; even the slightest poke could shatter him completely.

Lin Jianguo became increasingly agitated, his lips trembling violently, but he couldn't utter a single word.

"Don't say anything, I know everything!" An Xiaohai carefully held Lin Jianguo's hand: "This bracelet was put on my wrist by Aunt Xiru herself. She told me that it was a gift from the only lover in her life."

Aunt Xiru is still waiting for you at Grandma's Corner. She entrusted this bracelet and her daughter to me.

Before I came here, I promised Aunt Xiru that if I found her lover, I would definitely bring him back to her!

They are all doing well now. Aunt Xi works in the Armed Police Force, and Xuan'er was admitted to Deep Sea University. We will get married as soon as she graduates.

I swear, I will protect them for the rest of my life, and no one will be able to hurt them!

An Xiaohai forced a smile, but he was truly panicked inside. Lin Jianguo was clearly on his last legs and it was impossible for him to take him back.

Not to mention the storms at sea, even carrying him out might kill him.

Lin Jianguo blinked repeatedly, and his hands seemed to have regained some strength. He might want to cry, but he really had no tears left.

"Where are the other comrades?" An Xiaohai turned to ask Kunji.

"They're all dead, only the two of them are left. The remains of the others should be in those two pools. I asked him yesterday, and he kept looking into the pools. I think that's what it means..." Kun Ji said while crying.

"Xie Dan!" An Xiaohai called out.

Xie Dan wiped away his tears, picked up an empty backpack, and jumped into the pool of water in the dungeon with a splash. He started searching for things, and soon he pulled out a skeleton. Xie Dan gritted his teeth and gently put it into his backpack.

Yan Hong hastily wiped away his tears, picked up another backpack, and jumped into another pool to search for himself.

One by one, the skeletons were touched up, but most of the other bones were already broken, leaving only some thigh bones and bone fragments.

They pulled out a total of 14 skeletons and a pile of broken bones from the two pools, filling two large bags. Xie Dan and Yan Hong silently carried the bags on their backs.

"Report!" At that moment, a member of the security department who was outside on duty to hold off the enemy ran in: "Emergency! Enemy warships have appeared, less than 3 kilometers away!"

"What did you say? You didn't see that wrong, did you?"

"No, it was Fox1 who reported it. He has spotted the enemy warships, and they have likely locked onto them. Fox1 and Fox2 have moved to low altitudes to take cover."

"Understood. Go out and order Fox1 and Fox2 to abandon the helicopter immediately, take a boat over, pick them up along with the snipers, and then retreat immediately."

"Yes!" The security officer hesitated for a moment, but still accepted the order and left.

"Are you guys ready yet?" An Xiaohai asked Xu Tianyou and the demolition team.

"I'm all better now!" Xu Tianyou ran over with the detonator.

"We'll be done soon, we're already installing the last set of explosives!" the demolition team responded.

An Xiaohai turned around and looked at Lin Jianguo again: "Bear with it, I'll take you home."

An Xiaohai bent down to pick up Lin Jianguo, but he could clearly feel Lin Jianguo's resistance.

An Xiaohai straightened up in confusion and found Lin Jianguo looking at him with extremely complex and profound emotions in his eyes. There was even a slight smile on his lips.

Lin Jianguo blinked and looked at the detonator in Xu Tianyou's hand.

An Xiaohai instantly understood Lin Jianguo's meaning. He didn't want to go back, and he knew he couldn't go back. He wanted to perish together with this purgatory that had tormented him for more than 10 years!

An Xiaohai was struggling with a fierce internal conflict. He knew very well that even if he took Lin Jianguo away, he probably wouldn't be able to save him. But if he didn't take him away, how would he face Lin Xuan'er and Chen Xiru in the future?

The weak Lin Jianguo didn't know where the strength came from, but he suddenly reached out and grabbed a large chunk of flesh from his thigh, and blood finally seeped out.

Lin Jianguo's chest heaved violently, his lips trembled, and he stretched his hand upwards with all his might.

An Xiaohai felt as if his heart was being torn apart: "Ahong, give me the package."

Yan Hong immediately handed the backpack containing the remains to An Xiaohai. An Xiaohai opened the backpack, took the flesh and blood from Lin Jianguo's hands, put it into the backpack, and placed it together with the remains of Lin Jianguo's comrades.

Then, An Xiaohai gritted his teeth, grabbed a handful of flesh from another corpse, put it into his backpack as well, and silently slung the backpack over his shoulder.

"Xiao Tian, ​​give me the detonator."

"Xiao Hai..." Xu Tianyou's voice was already trembling.

"Give it to me!" An Xiaohai roared, his eyes almost instantly becoming bloodshot.

Xu Tianyou was startled and quickly handed the detonator to An Xiaohai, who then turned around and stuffed the detonator into Lin Jianguo's hand.

Lin Jianguo's smile grew even wider.

"I'm almost done with your mission. I've wiped out most of the Flying Bird Gang. There are only a few left, but I won't let them go. The day I return to the deep sea will be their death day!"

Don't worry, I will definitely do it. If I fail, you can kick me when we meet again.

Goodbye, Dad!
