Chapter 363: Chapter 361 Congested Sewer
Facing the old man’s question, Bi Fang simply took out a map from his bosom and displayed the complex network of sewer lines to everyone present.
“We came here all the way from the adjacent sewer without anyone noticing us. At the same time, all the guards in the southeast direction of the warehouse have left, and the only one remaining has already been taken care of. This is your best chance. Believe it or not, it’s up to you. If you want to leave, you can tell me now; if you don’t, then I will take everyone who wants to leave. But if anyone is thinking of snitching…”
Bi Fang’s gaze swept around the room, and even in the dim environment, an invisible pressure seemed to emerge. Each person who met his gaze lowered their heads.
At that moment, they felt as though they were in a confined space with someone swinging a flail. Even though they were confident that the flail wouldn’t hit them, fear still spread in their hearts.
“You can try.”
“Cough cough, since that’s the case, I definitely want to leave. If someone really wants to stay, they’d better think clearly about what they are doing.”
Seeing the atmosphere growing tense, the old man quickly coughed twice to lighten the mood and set the tone, meanwhile giving Bi Fang a nod of approval.
The rest of the people no longer had objections, which made Bi Fang even more curious about the man’s identity. After tossing the wire mesh aside, he couldn’t help but inquire about the old man’s identity.
Supported by two younger men, the old man emerged from the cage and declared astonishingly, “I am the Chieftain here.”
Bi Fang frowned.
The Chieftain?
The viewers in front of the screen were even more puzzled. Wasn’t Abbascan part of the Commonwealth Country? Where did this chieftain come from?
Bi Fang, having re
Seeing a figure suddenly appear in the bushes, the woman was almost frightened into making a noise, but she quickly remembered that this was the comrade the other had mentioned and allowed him to take her hand.
Indeed, that was the case. Matthew led the woman to a curb beside them, pushed open a manhole cover, and instructed her to go down.
As the woman disappeared, Bi Fang immediately called for the next one.
Quickly, one, two… Time passed by, and the audience in front of the screen grew more tense.
It had been over half an hour since the first explosion. The fire in the distance had started to diminish, and the shouting had lessened significantly, all of which proved that the situation was under control and they didn’t have much time left.
During the rescue, there was even a small incident when a guard from next door appeared again. Fortunately, it wasn’t because he had noticed anything amiss; he simply wanted to find a secluded spot to relieve himself, which scared Matthew into pressing someone down in the bushes, daring not to make a move.
Thankfully, until the figure left, he didn’t notice anything unusual in the bushes.
The previous method Bi Fang had instructed, to escape one by one, had proven its superiority. Though slow, it was secretive and stable, and any small issues that arose were completely within control. If everyone had run out at once in a line, there was no way they could have stayed hidden.
Not until the last of the people from the warehouse had entered the sewer and only Bi Fang and the old man remained did everyone finally breathe a sigh of relief.
My, surely we’re safe now, right?
