Chapter 450 What happened to you?
He couldn't help but take a deep breath, trying to stay calm. At this moment, he had to put aside all distractions and make a decision without hesitation. He couldn't continue walking, otherwise he would soon be surrounded and captured. The only way to break this situation was... to blend in with the crowd.
"If I can blend in with the crowd, maybe I can find a chance to escape." This thought suddenly flashed through Su Ming's mind.
He quickly shoved his phone back into his pocket and looked around. He was nearing the end of the street, a bustling commercial district in front of him. The flow of people on the street was beginning to thicken. While this wasn't the safest place, the density of the crowd was enough for him to hide temporarily, confusing the enemy's eyes.
"We must hurry." Su Ming's heartbeat quickened, and he began to walk quickly towards where the crowd was gathering.
Yet, he was still filled with an inescapable sense of nervousness. With every step, he unconsciously glanced around, fearing someone would suddenly rush out and surround him. Although he tried to slow down his pace and pretend to be an ordinary passerby, the feeling of being stared at by the enemy still made him uneasy. Every second, he wondered how Zheng Yaoxian would help him - he had no more time to waste.
At this moment, Su Ming's phone vibrated again.
"Quick, go around to the east exit. There's an empty parking lot there, which will give you a safe passage. Keep a low profile and don't attract attention."
Su Ming's eyes suddenly lit up. The route Zheng Yaoxian had given was simple and clear, and it seemed to be a relatively safe exit. East exit? Without giving it much thought, Su Ming quickly turned around and headed towards the east street.
On the way, he desperately told himself to stay calm. Although he knew that he was surrounded by enemies, he could only rely on his current judgment and ability to avoid the danger. Although the surrounding of the auxiliary police made him feel extremely pressured, if he could escape from the crowd, he might be able to temporarily get rid of them.
The street lights dimmed, as if a faint mist enveloped the entire city. He could feel the air around him gradually growing heavier, night had fallen, and the impending danger was approaching. He suddenly heard the roar of his own heartbeat, and the feeling of approaching death made him feel dizzy.
"Calm down, don't panic." Su Ming muttered to himself. His palms were slightly sweaty and the cold wind blew into his collar. He couldn't help but shiver.
After rounding several street corners, he finally arrived at the east parking lot. As expected, there was no one there, and the surroundings were uncomfortably quiet. Only the occasional sound of cars and the wind in the distance broke the stillness. The parking lot was dimly lit, exuding a desolate atmosphere. At this moment, Su Ming knew this was his only chance.
Without stopping, he quickly leaned against a parked car and began to secretly check the surroundings. Although it seemed empty, he knew that the enemy could appear anywhere at any time.
"There's more than one exit from the east parking lot," he thought silently. The location Zheng Yaoxian had given him wasn't the only escape route. Perhaps he could use it as bait to confuse the enemy and then find a safer passage.
“Just give me time…” A gleam of determination flashed in Su Ming’s eyes.
Suddenly, his phone vibrated, and on the screen was Zheng Yaoxian's latest message: "There are people around you. Stay alert."
Su Ming's heartbeat instantly accelerated, and the silence of the entire parking lot seemed to transform into a tremendous pressure, nearly suffocating him. His fingers tightly gripped the edge of his phone, knowing he was caught in a dangerous vortex. Everything around him seemed to be forcing him to make a choice—should he continue to hide, or take a risk and seek a breakthrough?
"Stay calm." He muttered to himself, his fingertips slightly numb, but he did not lose his mind because of nervousness.
However, his instincts told him he couldn't wait any longer. The enemy was approaching, and he could sense the gradually increasing pressure. Just as he was about to act, he suddenly saw a dark figure flash by in the corner of the parking lot, quickly disappearing in the dim light. In that instant, Su Ming's eyes froze, and an alarm bell rang in his heart—the enemy was approaching.
The phone vibrated again, breaking the brief silence.
"Your position has been exposed. Don't delay any longer, take action." This was the message sent by Zheng Yaoxian.
Su Ming's thoughts raced, his mind rapidly calculating his next move. He knew he didn't have much time to waste and needed to make a decision immediately. There was more than one exit from the parking lot, but from his current position, the most direct one led to a relatively empty path, his only escape route. The problem was, it ended on the main road, where there might be more enemies. If he ventured out rashly, he would likely be surrounded.
No, he couldn't be so reckless. He had to be prepared.
His gaze swept around, finally settling on a corner of the parking lot. The clutter there was inconspicuous, but it offered him a temporary hiding place. If he could approach it quietly, perhaps he could temporarily avoid the enemy's sight and find an opportunity to strike back.
"Huh——" Su Ming took a deep breath and suddenly made a decision. He no longer waited, but quickly walked towards the corner where the debris was piled up.
Su Ming's steps were light and swift, making almost no sound. Like a nocturnal cheetah, he blended swiftly into the surrounding shadows. Yet, even within those few steps, he felt his heart pounding with every step. The tense atmosphere in the air made him feel like he could be discovered by the enemy at any moment.
"You can't make any mistakes." He reminded himself, holding the phone tightly in his hand and dialing a number from the address book.
The dial tone was unusually harsh in the quiet parking lot, as if every ring reminded him of the urgency of time. However, a few seconds later, a familiar voice finally came from the other end of the line - his teammate, Cheng Xu.
"Hello, Su Ming?" Cheng Xu's voice was low and urgent. "What's wrong? What happened to you?"
Su Ming stood in the shadow of the debris pile and whispered, "The perimeter has been secured. I've been exposed. Enemies are approaching from all sides. What's the situation on your side?"
There was a pause on the other end of the line, and Su Ming knew that Cheng Xu must be quickly assessing the situation. A few seconds later, Cheng Xu's voice finally came through, with a hint of calmness: "Understood. We have received intelligence that your position will soon be surrounded. You must change direction immediately. Don't go to the east. They have already deployed heavy troops there."
