218: Throw homemade smoke bombs.

Xiao Niannian saw Lu Jing's surprised look and spoke.

"I picked it up outside just now."

At a time like this, she couldn't worry about whether Lu Jing suspected her or not.

Lu Jing hummed in acknowledgment. He knew she had some secrets, and he would keep them.

"I'll go distribute them."

Lu Jing quickly had someone distribute the bullets.

Fang Qiang handed the gun in his hand to Xiao Niannian.

"Comrade Xiao, this is for you."

Fang Qiang understood that Xiao Niannian was stronger than him, and the weapon would be more effective in her hands than in his.

"I have one."

Xiao Niannian directly pulled out the weapon from her spatial storage.

"In Workshop Three, I just snatched it from other culprits."

She had noticed earlier that the culprits were using the same type of weapon.

Lu Jing gave Xiao Niannian a deep look, but he didn't say anything.

Xiao Niannian found a good position and quietly observed the surrounding situation.

She saw that these dozen or so people were divided into two groups, and they were currently hiding behind sheet metal.

They were now less than twenty meters apart. She could hear the breathing of several people, and also heard someone talking.

"Brother Qing, these people have us cornered. We can't find that passage now, nor can we capture the Experts... Either we blow open an exit and escape while they haven't caught us yet..."

"I think Xiaogang is right. These people are clearly different from those Security Department personnel earlier. If we keep this standoff going, we will definitely be wiped out..."

"Maybe our people have already captured those Experts..."

Hearing this, someone spoke.

"Get the explosives ready, set them up in the corner, and blast our way out. We'll exit through there..."

They didn't know that their careful discussion was being overheard by Xiao Niannian.

"What about these hostages?"

"Take all of them. We can only live if they live. If these people die, the Military Unit and Public Security personnel will definitely kill us..."

Xiao Niannian glanced at Lu Jing and signaled to him.

"They are carrying explosives."

"That's right, I suspect they will blow open the corner of the wall..." Lu Jing replied to Xiao Niannian using hand signals.

Sure enough, Lu Jing knew all this.

Given the current situation, if they couldn't strike successfully in one blow, the six hostages would be in danger.

They currently had six guns. Hitting six targets at once was fine, and even double that could be managed, but with fifteen people, if a few remained hidden, it would be troublesome.

Xiao Niannian was frantically thinking of a countermeasure.

They must eliminate one group first before dealing with the other.

Xiao Niannian saw Lu Jing signaling to her.

Xiao Niannian threw several suppressors over.

Lu Jing saw the objects thrown over, immediately caught them, and was stunned after seeing what they were.

Suppressors?

Niannian carries these with her too?

But suppressors were indeed excellent right now. With these, dealing with these people would be much better.

He had sent someone to fetch suppressors, but they hadn't arrived yet.

These suppressors were all made by Niannian.

He had reported to the Captain and the others. They had originally planned to have Niannian visit the Arms Factory in the next few days, but unexpectedly, before she could go to the Arms Factory, this place was blown up by spies.

Xiao Niannian installed the suppressor and looked toward the distance.

She quietly took out a homemade smoke bomb and placed it nearby.

"Swoosh."

With this shot, she directly took down the person scouting on the periphery.

At the same time, Lu Jing made his move, and another person on the periphery was also taken down.

The people opposite did not hear any movement.

"Crap, why is there so much smoke? Could the fire have spread here?"

"Cough, cough, cough."

"Is the fire starting up?"

"Hurry up and blast open the corner of the wall."

When Lu Jing saw the smoke suddenly surge out, he looked in Xiao Niannian's direction and saw her signaling to him. There was nothing left for him not to understand.

He immediately led his people to flip out, using the smoke as cover.

Xiao Niannian also led her people out, and the two teams aggressively pressed forward.

"Boom."

Hearing the explosion, Xiao Niannian knew these people had blown open the corner of the wall.

Now was the best time to attack. Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing charged forward.

Xiao Niannian saw several people holding weapons and immediately opened fire.

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

Gunshots rang out. A few culprits successfully slipped out and tried to get people to bring the hostages out, but they found that after shouting a few times, none of their subordinates responded.

"Hurry up and get them out."

"Where are they?"

"Xiaogang."

Brother Qing shouted a few times but heard no response from his subordinates. His expression immediately changed drastically, and he felt a bad premonition.

"Retreat quickly, something happened."

That burst of smoke just now must have been suspicious. It was probably a trick by the Military Unit and Public Security personnel. His subordinates were likely finished.

"Run! Something definitely happened to them."

Hearing Brother Qing's voice, all the subordinates panicked.

"That can't be."

"Brother Qing, our people were finished in just a few seconds?"

They asked about the situation while running frantically.

Brother Qing looked grimly at the blasted factory building.

"Let's enter their passage. No matter what, we'll blow up their passage so they can't chase us..."

They had no other option now except this one.

If they went straight out the main gate, the Military Unit and Public Security personnel were all there, and they would be walking into a trap.

"Alright, we'll listen to you, Brother Qing."

They had obtained the map of this place long ago, and some people had already entered the secret passage to pursue the Experts.

If they went there now and just destroyed the passage, they could escape.

Alternatively, as long as they left through the passage and then blew up the perimeter wall, they could escape the Sugar Factory.

So they were now running toward the secret passage. If they ran into the secret passage first, blew it up, and escaped through it, even if these people wanted to catch up, it would take hours.

Furthermore, the passage contained the military's most advanced research. Destroying those secret tunnels in the mountains, their mission this time was to blow up the Sugar Factory, capture the Experts, and destroy everything here, so that not only the people behind them, but also countries like the Russians, Koreans, and Germans would know about it.

"To the secret passage."

"Brother Qing, if we enter the secret passage, won't they attack us from both the front and back? Will we be unable to escape then?"

Some people felt it would be better to escape right now.

Otherwise, once inside the passage, escaping would be difficult.

"As long as we blow up the passage, they won't be able to catch up at all. By the time they contact others, we will have already escaped."

"Brother Qing is right. Once we enter the passage, we'll destroy their communication system. What will they use to catch us?"
