Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

"Then let's get ready too," Mai Xiaoyu asked after Zhou Xun and her entourage left.

"No rush, there's still an hour left. Let's grab something to eat first, we probably won't even have dinner tonight."

"You rascal, you smelled it, didn't you?"

Mai Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at An Xiaohai and went back to her room to pack her things. Ahmed chuckled and brought the stewed mutton out of the kitchen, pot and all. Alahan took bowls and distributed them to everyone, and the group sat around the pot to eat.

I must say, these two friends from the Northwest really know how to cook mutton. An Xiaohai ate four big bowls before he stopped, and his stomach was so full that he even felt sleepy.

Mai Xiaoyu ate quite a bit too; the four of them finished off a whole pot of mutton.

In the club

Zhan Weiting checked his watch: 6:20.

With only 10 minutes left until the agreed time, Zhan Weiting felt a strange sense of crisis for some reason.

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.

Just as Zhan Weiting was about to open the door to ask what was going on, Kang Lianhai rushed out from the other room shouting, "Weiting, something terrible has happened!"

"What's wrong?"

"Someone has broken in!"

"What?!?!"

Zhan Weiting was shocked and rushed into another room without thinking. There was a surveillance system that had just been installed there. Kang Lianhai must have seen someone break in through the surveillance.

Zhan Weiting glanced at the surveillance footage and immediately felt a chill run down his spine.

A group of men stormed into the clubhouse lobby, brandishing guns and killing anyone they saw. In just a few seconds, Zhan Weiting saw several of his men fall into pools of blood.

The person leading the group seemed strangely familiar!

Just as Zhan Weiting leaned closer to the TV screen to get a better look, the leader also saw the camera. He walked up to the camera, grinned at it, and then raised his gun and fired a shot at the camera.

The surveillance footage went completely black.

Zhan Weiting shuddered! He recognized the leader; it was An Xiaohai, the nationally wanted criminal whose news reports were constantly broadcasting on television!

"How did he get here?!" A thousand thoughts flashed through Zhan Weiting's mind.

"Weiting, what do we do?!"

Kang Lianhai's call brought Zhan Weiting back to reality. Zhan Weiting immediately felt a stinging pain in his eyes and realized that it was cold sweat from his forehead that had gotten into his eyes.

"Run! Run!" Zhan Weiting regained his senses and grabbed Kang Lianhai, trying to rush outside.

"Weiting, what about the money? There's still so much US dollars here!" Kang Lianhai shouted.

Zhan Weiting felt a pang of pain in his heart.

The Abyss Organization sent a hundred million US dollars for operational expenses. Zhan Weiting and Kang Lianhai, in order to line their own pockets, used various pretexts to obtain half of the cash and hid it in the clubhouse. If something goes wrong, the losses will be huge!

Boom!

The muffled gunshot brought Zhan Weiting back to reality.

"Never mind that, let's go first, life is more important!" Zhan Weiting pulled Kang Lianhai out again.

As soon as the two opened the door to the private room, the gunfire became much clearer and more frequent. These gunfire sounds were unusual; the other side must have used silencers.

They knew they couldn't go near the main entrance of the club, so Zhan Weiting dragged Kang Lianhai and ran towards another building, a hotel.

The two ran very fast, but the gunshots from behind were also very close!

Zhan Weiting couldn't help but look back, and just then he saw one of his trusted men backing away at the corner of the corridor, gun in hand. Bullets kept hitting him, and blood splattered everywhere. His man's back soon crashed into the corridor wall, and his body went limp, leaving a shocking trail of blood on the wall.

The figures were moving, and many people were chasing after them!

Zhan Weiting felt a chill run down his spine, and he didn't know where he got the strength, but he ran even faster.

After turning two corners, the two finally entered another building. Zhan Weiting and Kang Lianhai stumbled through several fire doors, and after locking the last fire door, they finally arrived at the hotel lobby.

Before Zhan Weiting and Kang Lianhai could even catch their breath, gunshots rang out again, and this time the gunshots didn't come from behind them, but from outside the hotel lobby.

Zhan Weiting was on the verge of collapse. He rushed to the hotel lobby entrance, took three steps at a time, and looked outside. His heart sank into despair.

Sure enough, this side was blocked as well!

Seven or eight armed thugs rushed into the hotel parking lot and took down three or four of his men almost instantly. The other men used cars as cover and exchanged fire with the attackers, but under the overwhelming firepower, they quickly became critically injured.

A sense of despair rose in Zhan Weiting's heart. Fortunately, he had decided to take action today, and many of his men were carrying weapons, otherwise these thugs would have already rushed in.

"What do we do, Weiting? What do we do?!" Kang Lianhai was completely at a loss.

"What the hell?! How the hell am I supposed to know what to do?!" Zhan Weiting cursed inwardly. He was about to run back when he heard gunshots again from the corridor he had come from. It seemed that the other side was using guns to break the locks on the fire door.

"It's over! This time, I'm probably doomed..." Zhan Weiting's whole body began to go weak.

Just then, a loud engine roared outside, and a Hummer crashed through the parking lot wall.

Bricks and stones flew everywhere, raining down on the attacking bandits and immediately disrupting their formation.

Immediately afterwards, two more Humvees crashed through the barrier at the main gate and rushed in. Several people leaned out of the Humvees' windows and opened fire on the thugs, pinning them down and for a moment preventing them from raising their heads.

Zhan Weiting was overjoyed. He saw it clearly: the person firing a gun from one of the Hummers was none other than Secretary Xiaoyu!

"It's General Manager Chen! He actually came at this crucial moment!"

Zhan Weiting, with a burst of strength he didn't know where he got from, grabbed Kang Lianhai and ran wildly toward the two Hummers that had rushed in.

Tap tap tap tap tap...

Gunfire erupted as the Humvees unleashed their formidable firepower. Their gunfire was almost incessant once it began, and the cars where the bandits were hiding were riddled with bullet holes!

The most outrageous were Alahan and Ahmed, who were dressed in Arab robes and each had an M249 rifle and were having a great time, just like desert bandits in a movie.

But at this moment, they gave Zhan Weiting and Kang Lianhai a great sense of security.

"Over here!" An Xiaohai shouted as he got out of the car, pulling the pins off two grenades and throwing them toward the location where the thugs were hiding.

Two loud explosions rang out, and flames shot into the sky behind them!

Zhan Weiting and Kang Lianhai didn't even have time to look back; they just rushed desperately toward An Xiaohai's location.

As An Xiaohai fired shots into the parking lot, he opened the door of the Mercedes-Benz. Without a second thought, Zhan Weiting and Kang Lianhai jumped inside with incredible agility.

"Retreat!" An Xiaohai shouted again, and climbed into the Mercedes-Benz himself.

The Mercedes immediately turned around and sped off towards the main road not far away. The three Hummers also fought and retreated, quickly breaking away from the battle and following behind the Mercedes.

The four cars had just turned onto the main road when they saw a large number of police cars and military vehicles rushing towards them. An Xiaohai quickly ordered everyone to slow down.

Fortunately, none of the four vehicles attracted the attention of the police and military vehicles, and they passed by them without incident.
