Chapter 325: In Front of the Door
Wang Lu’s voice echoed across the open ground, and the few prisoners charging ahead were momentarily stunned by his imposing presence, their steps involuntarily slowing down.
Wang Lu let out a furious roar, taking the initiative to charge toward them.
Fang Yanghui stood by, layers of spiraling energy swirling around his hands, his gaze sweeping over the prisoners as he let out a helpless sigh.
If only my knife were still here…
He shook his head and followed Wang Lu’s lead, his figure flickering as he too plunged into the crowd of prisoners, instantly slowing their assault.
The military commander, witnessing this scene, immediately called out, “All units, reorganize your formations! Load ammunition and support them!”
The remaining armored vehicles and tanks sprang back into action, quickly tightening their original defensive line. Flames and ammunition erupted, barely helping the two fend off the prisoners’ attack.
Who are these two? The commander wondered while keeping an eye on the battlefield.
That one over there, Fang Yanghui, was once a member of the Night Watch team stationed in Chuanxiang City. A few years ago, he killed seven ordinary people. According to him, they were a group of human traffickers specializing in selling children, and his sister had been one of their victims. However, after months of investigation, no concrete evidence was found, and he ultimately couldn’t prove the legitimacy of his actions, leading to his imprisonment in the fasting facility.
The other one, who uses fire, is Wang Lu. During a mission, he captured a dangerous superpowered individual. He was supposed to escort them to the fasting facility, but due to some personal vendetta, he hijacked the transport, accidentally injuring several Night Watch members in the process, and killed the superpowered individual on the spot. He was also sent to the fasting facility.
After hearing the description from his aide, the commander frowned slightly, looking at the two figures fighting fiercely, and sighed deeply.
What a pity…
…
In the distance, An Qingyu silently observed the scene, turning to Lin Qiye.
You’ve been worried about this?
Lin Qiye nodded. Using the prisoners’ momentum to break out of the fasting facility is indeed the best escape route at the moment, but if we do that, it won’t just be us regaining our freedom… it will be them too.
As much as I want to leave here, if the price is releasing such a group of people back into modern society, then that price is too high.
An Qingyu pondered for a moment. So what should we do? Give up this opportunity?
No. Lin Qiye shook his head, his eyes narrowing slightly. He looked up at the towering black steel wall beside him, a strange glint appearing in his eyes.
I have thought of a better way!
…
Boom—!!
A deafening explosion erupted, a searing column of fire shooting into the sky, illuminating the chaotic battlefield. Waves of heat swept through, forcing several nearby prisoners to retreat.
Flames danced across Wang Lu’s bronze torso, radiating endless light and heat. In this terrain, his power was unleashed to the fullest, the burning fire reflecting the fervor in his heart, incinerating all filth and ugliness.
Fang Yanghui moved like a shadow through the crowd, the spiraling energy in his palms surging. With one hand, he deflected a wind blade released by a prisoner, then slammed his palm into the ground, causing the earth to crack and forcing several prisoners to retreat.
“This guy is more reliable than I imagined…” Fang Yanghui murmured, glancing at the imposing Wang Lu beside him.
In the next moment, three more prisoners charged at them!
Wang Lu and Fang Yanghui’s sudden emergence successfully delayed the prisoners’ assault on the defense line. The precious time they bought allowed the military to regroup and once again leverage the long-range killing power of their firearms.
The sound of artillery fire rang out in succession, catching several prisoners off guard, injuring them as they fell.
Among the prisoners, someone quickly realized the dire situation and shouted, “Forget about those two nuisances! Just charge the gate!”
At his shout, the majority of the prisoners reacted. Although Wang Lu and Fang Yanghui were strong, their numbers were too few. There was no need to engage them; as long as they bypassed them, all the prisoners could simultaneously rush the large gate, and there was no way they could stop everyone.
The prisoners engaged with the two stepped back simultaneously, casting a provocative glance at them before swiftly dispersing, sprinting toward the gate with astonishing speed.
Seeing this, Wang Lu roared in anger and turned to pursue, but suddenly the ground beneath him erupted, transforming into a massive hand that blocked his path. Various restraints were simultaneously thrown at him; while they might not kill him, they would certainly delay him for a while.
On the other hand, Fang Yanghui, relying on his agile movements, easily dodged all the attacks. Even so, he could only stop two or three prisoners. Against this group of prisoners charging forward like rabid dogs, his power was far too limited.
“Damn it!! If you have the guts, come at me!”
Wang Lu watched as one prisoner after another slipped past him, grinning as they broke through the last line of defense, roaring in fury.
Under the leadership of several strategically minded prisoners, they did not attempt to annihilate the military defenses as before. Instead, a dozen prisoners led the charge, breaking through a gap in the defense line, while those behind them widened the breach, completely ignoring the surrounding heavy weapons and soldiers, charging straight for the gate!
At first, the military’s artillery could still inflict damage, but once the prisoners fully breached the defense line, the effectiveness of heavy weapons diminished significantly. The distance between them was too close, and the chaos was extreme; any misfire could not only miss the prisoners but also injure their own.
But the prisoners didn’t care about that. Once the restraints were unleashed, various attacks indiscriminately bombarded the crowd!
Thus, the military’s final defense line was forcibly torn open by this group of prisoners!
The heavy gate was finally laid bare before the prisoners!
Nothing could stop them now!
“Charge!!”
“Hahaha!!! I’m getting my freedom!!”
“To hell with the fasting facility! To hell with the Night Watch!!”
“Break down that door! Nothing can stop us anymore!!”
“…”
Boom—!!
A figure plummeted from the sky, crashing heavily onto the ground in front of the gate, sending shattered stone debris flying and dust rising.
All the prisoners about to rush to the gate froze in place.
Through the billowing smoke, a boy dressed in a blue and white striped hospital gown stood quietly, his black hair billowing in the wind, revealing a pair of golden eyes that burned like a furnace.
