Chapter 223 A Massacre

Chapter 223: Chapter 223 A Massacre

Because it was the first time executing a mission of such heart-stopping, life-or-death nature, everyone felt exhausted. Cui Qi fell asleep as soon as he returned to his room, with Zhuo Hang’s words echoing in his mind.

"Listen well, Cui Qi. You have acted as my informant multiple times in the past, leaking a multitude of intelligence. However, this time is different - it’s highly dangerous. The opposition controls both criminal and legal activities, with influence both domestically and abroad. Think carefully before you accept this mission."

At that time, Cui Qi was confident, thinking that his experience would enable him to handle whatever might come his way and that, after so many years, he had already faced death without fear.

When Cui Qi was sound asleep, he was abruptly awakened by a loud explosion from outside that seemed to come from the main gate as if something was forcefully breaking through, giving Cui Qi a bad feeling.

Gunfire erupted in succession, instantly alerting Cui Qi who immediately rose from his bed and rallied his baffled teammates: "What are you staring at? Get out there, now!"

Not just Cui Qi’s team but members of other teams too rushed out of the dormitory. The moment they reached the grounds, they saw several vehicles driving in, filled with armed locals.

A confrontation ensued, and Mo Si’s men sneered before directing their guns at Cui Qi’s team. They unleashed a round of gunfire, flesh and blood scattered amidst a chorus of screams.

"Oh my god, everyone run to the factory!" Cui Qi shouted while running, feeling the fear of bullets whizzing past him. His comrades were falling around him, their screams of pain filling his ears.

More than a dozen security guards from the factory rushed out to fight against Mo Si’s gang, but they were vastly outnumbered and outgunned. Mo Si’s men suppressed them with overwhelming firepower, causing the guards to fall one by one.

At this moment, the female supervisor, her hair tied in a ponytail and wearing sunglasses, stood at the highest point in the factory with a sniper rifle. She took aim at the enemies, and with every shot, an enemy fell — five consecutive shots, all hitting their marks.

In the same place, five of Mo Si’s men fell. The rest fled in fear, providing Cui Qi and his team the chance to escape to the factory, hastily closing the gate behind them.

Outside, Mo Si’s gang were yelling something unclear, but Cui Qi could hear the pained cries of the wounded counterparts unable to escape. Everyone knew what awaited them.

Mo Si’s men showed no mercy. Anyone wounded and fallen was eradicated, leaving none behind. After done, they put their guns over their shoulders, presenting an air of complete arrogance.

"Bastard, didn’t they say this place was safe?" Many still in shock watched in horror as Mo Si’s men approached the factory step by step, giving rise to relinquishing hope.

At this time, the female supervisor shouldering her sniper rifle walked over announced, "Why are you panicking? It’s not over yet." And then she snapped her fingers.

The security guards began bringing over box after box of guns, urging Cui Qi and his team to take prepared to fight for their lives.

"OK, we aren’t outnumbered, and though we are outgunned, we are the defenders; we have our own advantages." The female supervisor signaled with her eyes for three security guards to lead ten newcomers through an underground passage to launch a counter-attack from behind.

The female supervisor then moved to a secluded location, a sniping position, while the others scattered throughout the factory to find suitable positions.

A loud noise signified the vehicle ramming into the factory gate, causing a cold sweat to break out. After the second noise, the gate was teetering, everyone’s heartbeat accelerated in anticipation of the terror about to rush in.

On the third ram, the fourth, until finally on the fifth ram, Mo Si’s men successfully broke through the gate, with several cars leading the breakthrough.

One auto was armed with a heavy machine gun, whose destructive firepower was unstoppable — had they a chance to open fire. However, the moment the car entered the premises, a sniper bullet from the female supervisor, hiding in the dark, pierced the gunner’s skull.

Following this, a majority of Mo Si’s men rushed in. Some went to seize the heavy machine gun, but anyone who neared it was taken down with one bullet — they had no chance.

Although the female supervisor was a sharpshooter, she alone couldn’t change the whole situation. What she could do was to prevent Mo Si’s men from acquiring that powerful weapon. The rest was up to the other teammates.

Fortunately, Mo Si’s men knew nothing about tactics and just barged in blindly. While Cui Qi and his team, hidden in the corners with advantageous positions, were in a semi-surrounding posture. They opened fire and inflicted significant casualties.

After taking heavy damage, Mo Si’s men broke rank attempting to flee. However, a furious Mo Si behind them, started shooting at his own men, ordering them to get back in. Today, they were to take down the factory no matter what.

And so, Mo Si’s men, gritting their teeth, continued to move in. Once inside, they went trigger-happy, firing around wildly. Everywhere, the sound of bullets ricocheting off steel and the spark that followed, resonated.

Cui Qi’s team couldn’t withstand such pressure. Seeing their comrades getting shot, bleeding, crying out in pain, their minds buckled as they fled in every direction.

Because of this, Mo Si’s men took complete control, forcing Cui Qi and his team to resist while retreating, all the while shaking with fear. Some of them even regretted ever coming to this place.

Even the woman manager was in serious danger, Mo Si’s men had found her, and in groups, they came to kill, forcing her to abandon her advantageous position. Now, the only hope they had were the people preparing to launch a surprise attack via the underground tunnel. As long as they were able to take out Mo Si, the boss, the enemy would retreat.

However, things did not go smoothly. The group just emerged from the underground tunnel when they were discovered by Mo Si. A hail of gunfire forced them back into the tunnel.

"It’s over, everything is over." Not just Cui Qi, even the woman manager felt a bad premonition. Not just the front door, the back door was also occupied by the enemy, there was absolutely no way out.

Outside the factory, Mo Si was listening to the gunshots, listening to the screams, puffing on a cigar, the feeling of power over life and death, made him feel triumphant.

At that moment, a scout in the distance reported that the local police had dispatched a large force. If Mo Si did not retreat now, he would be in serious trouble.

"Damn it, you guys are lucky, let’s go." Mo Si knew the risk, he dared not stay long, he ordered the retreat signal immediately, and the large force inside the factory immediately acted on his order, hurrying to retreat.

Seeing Mo Si’s men leaving, Cui Qi and the others could hardly believe it. Even after all this, they managed to survive. If the enemy had pressed on, they would have been completely annihilated.

No one dared to leave fearing it was a trap. After waiting for a while and hearing the sound of a police siren outside, everyone suddenly realized why Mo Si’s men retreated while they held the upper hand.

Cui Qi and the others walked out of the factory, their faces covered in dirt, many with blood on them. Some were injured, others had blood from their comrades. They looked at the bodies lying around, the smell of gunpowder still lingering in the air, unable to believe what they had just gone through.

Surviving this ordeal, some people lost control of their emotions and started crying, some looked gloomy, as if their bodies had been hollowed out, while others were still in fear.

At this time, Cui Qi saw the woman manager expressionless, making a phone call, with a very stern look. She seemed very unhappy.

An hour and a half later, Mo Si’s convoy triumphantly returned to the slum. Although they had not been able to eradicate the factory, they had once again demonstrated their power, which was a reason for pride.

Mo Si grinned coldly, as if those nobodies were not even worthy to fight against him. He was the ruler of this land.

Suddenly, the vehicle at the very front was flipped over, scaring the vehicles behind to halt. Mo Si was also stunned by this, wondering what kind of power could flip the vehicle that high.

Mo Si got out of the vehicle and many of his men followed, stepping forward with weapons drawn. They saw a tall figure, wearing a hood and mask, standing sternly in their path.

Feeling the hostile intention, Mo Si’s men aimed their guns at the figure. Then Mo Si spoke forcefully, "Who are you to block my path? Do you know who I am?"

The man calmly replied, "You are Mo Si, one of the top figures in this slum."

"Knowing who I am, and yet you dare to stop me. This is the slum, I can shoot you dead with one bullet, nobody can do anything about it." After saying this, Mo Si actually pointed his gun at the man.

The man didn’t seem to care, "I’m here to tell you, you’ve broken the rules, and you must pay the price."

"Price?" Mo Si laughed coldly and shot the man in the forehead, watching him fall straight down.

"Good, let’s go." Mo Si turned around, completely unaffected by the killing. To him, it was a commonplace event. Suddenly, he wondered how the man managed to flip the lead vehicle.

Just as he was puzzled, he saw all his subordinates with unbelieving expressions, which immediately alarmed him. He quickly turned around and was shocked as well. The man he had just shot in the forehead had stood back up.

The man brushed off the dust on his clothes as if nothing had happened, "Don’t worry, I will leave a few survivors to tell others to follow the rules or the consequences will be severe."

"Who the hell are you?" Before Mo Si’s question got answered, he saw the man step forward, his aura terrifying like a fierce tiger.

"Fire, fire at him!" Mo Si was scared, he was trembling. He could only use his most powerful firepower to quell his fear.

However, no matter how much Mo Si’s men fired, no matter how many bullets they shot, they could not stop the man’s advancement. Even his steps were getting faster, already at the face of one of Mo Si’s men.

A simple and direct palm strike, and the head of one of Mo Si’s men flew high into the air, blood spurting out. Everyone, including Mo Si, were pale with fear. Was this a human beings?
