220: Captain Lu is truly ruthless.

"Forget the dynamite pack, we still have two more here..."

"Yes."

Xiao Niannian ran forward, following Lu Jing; she did not ask why.

Judging by how familiar Lu Jing was with the place, it was clear he came here often.

The security work for this cave was likely handled by Lu Jing's Special Forces Brigade or by personnel specifically assigned by the Division Headquarters.

Lu Jing raised his hand, signaling everyone to stop.

The electricity in the cave had not been turned off yet. Lu Jing glanced at the switch on the side and operated it a few times. Suddenly, the cave darkened, leaving only lights spaced twenty meters apart.

"Ah..."

A scream rang out.

"Why did the lights go out?"

"Did they catch up to us?"

Suddenly plunged into darkness, the six of them were somewhat panicked.

"It must have been those people who turned off the lights on purpose."

"They are trying to scare us."

"We can't see, so they definitely can't see either..."

Hearing his subordinates say this, Brother Qing felt the same way.

They couldn't see clearly, and these people from the Military Unit certainly couldn't see clearly either; the advantage was with them.

Furthermore, they still had explosives in their hands.

"Blow up the passage."

They could not delay any longer; they had to blow up the passage to find a way to escape.

"Turn on the flashlights."

The subordinate immediately took out another dynamite pack, stuck it to the wall, and prepared to ignite it.

But the next second, the dynamite pack vanished.

"A ghost!"

The person installing the explosives was dumbfounded when he saw the dynamite pack disappear.

"Am I seeing things?"

The man rubbed his eyes and looked carefully a few more times, but he still couldn't see the dynamite pack.

The next second, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

He clutched his chest and fell to the ground.

Xiao Niannian was in the corner at the very front, a few meters away from Lu Jing. Taking advantage of everyone's distraction, she had collected the dynamite pack.

Hearing this, Brother Qing didn't dare to stay any longer and started running quickly.

At this point, there were only five of them left, and one had been shot in the hands and feet.

"Run!"

Brother Qing's voice rang out.

There was no chance to blow up the passage anymore.

"Boom."

A grenade was thrown out and exploded in the passage.

Brother Qing held a flashlight and ran forward, the light shining on a Soldier's face.

"Ah..."

They were startled and just about to open fire, but were tackled by someone jumping out from the side.

Xiao Niannian shot the gun right out of Brother Qing's hand.

The guns in the hands of the others were also shot down by Lu Jing and other Comrades-in-arms.

Brother Qing was pinned to the ground. He looked up and saw a stunning Female Comrade staring at him with an icy expression; that gaze made him feel a bit afraid.

Xiao Niannian stepped on him, while others tied Brother Qing up. The weapons, grenades, and other items in their hands and bags were all confiscated.

"Who are you?"

Brother Qing asked angrily.

This time, they clearly had the upper hand, and they even had several teams for support. How could they suddenly be crushed like this? They had absolutely no power to fight back.

Who exactly were these people?

"You don't deserve to know."

Xiao Niannian kicked him directly, knocking him unconscious.

Seeing this scene, Fang Qiang, He Yong, and the others couldn't help but look at Captain Lu; this Comrade Xiao's combat ability was just too strong.

They had all seen Comrade Xiao hit the gun in Brother Qing's hand earlier; with a casual shot, she had hit the man's hand and knocked the gun away.

"Take them out."

Lu Jing looked at his subordinates.

"Yes."

Lu Jing walked to the side, pressed a few things, and the lights in the cave were turned back on.

Looking at the brightly lit passage, Xiao Niannian turned her gaze toward Lu Jing.

"Follow me and take a look."

Upon hearing Lu Jing's words, Xiao Niannian followed him deeper into the cave.

Xiao Niannian saw three passages in front of them, and Lu Jing led her down the one on the right.

They hadn't walked for long before they saw a large iron door blocking the way ahead.

Lu Jing walked over and opened the mechanism. Before long, Xiao Niannian heard the sound of machinery starting up.

The large iron door slid to the side, and they walked inside.

Xiao Niannian saw some papers scattered on the ground, as well as some instruments and other items.

"Is there no self-destruct mechanism in here?"

Hearing Xiao Niannian's question, Lu Jing paused for a moment and said.

"Not here. Many things have protective measures. When the Experts evacuated, those items were secured by mechanisms; even explosives cannot blow them open..."

Hearing this, Xiao Niannian nodded.

She followed Lu Jing for quite a while longer. It felt like a maze inside, but that didn't stump her; after coming in, she had memorized the path.

After walking for a while longer, Xiao Niannian saw the exit.

Upon seeing the exit, Xiao Niannian discovered that a few hundred meters away was the encampment of a battalion from the Division Headquarters, and outside this area, there were many signs posted that read: Military Restricted Area, No Entry.

"Report... The Experts have now been picked up by our military personnel..."

Someone ran over and immediately saluted upon seeing Lu Jing.

"Good."

Lu Jing looked at everyone and said.

"Other Soldiers from the Division Headquarters will come over to transport the documents out of the cave..."

Upon hearing Lu Jing's words, Xiao Niannian turned her gaze toward the cave.

Where would these documents be transported to?

They wouldn't be transported to the North, would they?

It was already late October, and the weather in the North was already very cold.

If they were to send these documents and Experts there, the round trip would probably take over a month. Moreover, there would be many dangers along the way.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Jing had finished arranging things and saw Xiao Niannian staring blankly at the cave.

"It's nothing."

"Let's go back to the sugar mill."

Hearing Lu Jing's words, Xiao Niannian nodded.

After returning to the sugar mill, Xiao Niannian saw many Comrades-in-arms busy working, and the injured sugar mill workers had all been sent to the Military Region Hospital.

Military Doctor Shen had just finished working and was preparing to sit down for a rest. Seeing Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing, he immediately stood up and walked over.

"I heard there was a fierce battle in the passage, and the passage exploded several times. Are you two alright?"

Xiao Niannian shook her head.

Military Doctor Shen looked at the ash on Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian's faces, as well as the dust in their hair, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Has everything been handled? If so, you should go back and clean up."

Lu Jing glanced at Military Doctor Shen indifferently, and Military Doctor Shen immediately wiped the smile off his face.

"Company Commander Yun."

"Here!"

Hearing Lu Jing's words, Company Commander Yun immediately responded.

"Take them and run back."

"Yes."

Several Soldiers looked at Captain Lu in surprise. They had just fought a fire and were exhausted, and now they had to run five kilometers back to the camp? Captain Lu was truly heartless.

"Attention everyone, at a run, forward..."

Xiao Niannian also returned to the ranks, following the group as they ran toward the camp.
