"No way!" Wolf opposed solemnly, "This group of people is too large, we'll make such easy target and they're a bunch of defenseless women . "
Ali's face fell because he was right . Wolf continued, "Ali, the three of us only came to save you; Cairn can't hold on any longer . I can only save you or else every one of us is going to die . "
"But…" Ali turned to the women's scared faces with difficulty . Can we really leave them behind?
Wolf said through gritted teeth, "You guys can try escaping on your own but I would advise against that because it'll only invite death . "
"No, I have to leave this place, I don't want to be sold," a woman wailed . This started a chain reaction and they begged Wolf to lead them to safety .
AdvertisementWolf's face was drawn . "I'm sorry, I cannot guarantee the safety of so many people when I cannot guarantee my own safety . "
"Then we shall try to escape on our own; it's either death or hell on Earth!" one of the women said with determination . The group of women was ready to charge outside but was stopped by Xinghe .
"Everyone stay put for now, you leave after all the guards are dead," she told them . They were confused by what she meant . Xinghe didn't explain but she turned to Wolf to ask, "If there's enough support, do you people have confidence to kill everyone here?"
Ali took the chance to elaborate . "Wolf, she saved my life earlier . "
Wolf was stunned before answering truthfully, "Definitely, these wusses aren't our match, but we have too few men on our side . "
Xinghe looked at the surveillance room opposite them and said, "Follow me, let's hope this bet pays off . "
With that, she rushed into the surveillance . "What are you doing?" Ali yelped but she still pulled Wolf along with her as she followed Xinghe .
The three of them entered the surveillance room safely . Wolf quickly shut the door, and berated Xinghe, "That was too risky, if someone saw us, we would be dead . "
Xinghe ignored him and sat down in front on the computer and started working .
"What are you doing?" Ali moved forward to ask .
Xinghe's fingers worked the keyboard at lightning speed . She asked without taking her eyes off the screen, "You're wearing an ear-mic right?"
Ali and Wolf looked at one another before realizing what she was asking . Wolf touched the device in his ear and replied, "That's right, but why do you ask?"
"I can give your friends the location of all the enemies . "
As she said so, small squares of surveillance footage appeared on screen . Other than the men of the base, Ali and Wolf also saw their friends . Xinghe noticed two men who were locked in combat with about fifteen men .
They were at a disadvantage even though they were obviously the more experienced ones . They were simply too short handed . However, if they knew where the enemies were hiding, things would be a lot easier . Wolf understood what Xinghe meant immediately . He rushed forward and without Xinghe's order, used his ear-mic to communicate to his comrades the hiding spot of their enemies .
With Wolf's orders, his men quickly turned the tables . They'd taken down many people already, but Xinghe didn't stop there; she started operating another computer . The surveillance room was actually very simple and crude, it only had two computers . The men on surveillance duty probably joined the combat as well, so there was no one around .
