Inside the cable tunnel, everything was dark-dark. The air damp, got that kind of moldy smell. Every footstep echo-echo inside, like got ghost following behind. On the wall, sometimes got small-small emergency light blinking, making their face look even more serious.
Shen Qiu whispered, "That damn Falcon Squad, sure won't let us go easy. We better hurry up lah."
Cheng Mo gripped his army knife harder, eyes like hawk scanning here and there. Su Man walked at the back, holding sniper rifle tight against her shoulder. Cannot relax even one second.
Li Chuan took a deep breath, his sharp eyes looking at the tunnel. "This tunnel ah, should be can go to the other side of MRT track. If they track us before we can get out, jialat already."
Shen Qiu quickly open his map, tap here tap there, then pointed at the screen. "Just in front, 200 meters, got one old-old maintenance shaft. We climb up there, can escape."
Su Man frowned. "What if they already wait us there?"
Li Chuan said coldly, "Then we no choice but to fight out."
At the same time, Falcon Squad was also tracking their movement.
The captain smirked. "See? They really going to the maintenance shaft."
The vice-captain stared at the heat-detection screen, nodded. "Confirm. We can ambush them at the exit, one time settle them."
The captain gave orders, "A-team, block the shaft exit. B-team, move inside the cable tunnel. We trap them front and back."
"Yes, sir!"
The squad members moved out fast-fast, like well-trained hounds hunting their prey. The air filled with killing intent.
Li Chuan and the team reached the shaft. The exit covered by one old metal plate, rusty until can smell iron. Shen Qiu struggled a bit, then finally pry it open. A gust of damp air rushed out.
"Faster go up!" Li Chuan ordered.
Su Man was the first to climb, then Shen Qiu, then Cheng Mo. Just when Li Chuan wanted to follow, his back suddenly feel very cold—
"AMBUSH!"
BANG!
A gunshot echoed. The bullet flew past his shoulder, hitting the wall, small rocks flying everywhere. Li Chuan instantly rolled to the side, pulled out his own gun and fired back.
Above, Su Man already saw those Falcon Squad bastards hiding near the shaft. She didn't hesitate—BANG! One shot, one kill. The enemy soldier fell.
"Shen Qiu, smoke grenade!" Li Chuan shouted.
Shen Qiu immediately threw a smoke grenade. Thick-thick white smoke spread everywhere, blocking everyone's vision.
"Faster climb up!" Su Man urged.
Li Chuan didn't waste time, grabbed the ladder and climbed up quickly. Just when he reached the top, the Falcon Squad captain was already aiming his gun—
BANG!
But Su Man's bullet was faster. It hit the captain's wrist, making his gun drop. Li Chuan took the chance, leaped up from the shaft, landed smoothly, then BANG! fired one clean shot. Another enemy fell.
"RUN!" Li Chuan didn't want to waste time fighting, immediately led the team into a narrow alley.
Falcon Squad refused to let them go. Their speed damn fast, footsteps loud-loud behind. Gunshots rang out in the small alley, bullets ricocheting off the brick walls.
Su Man turned back, fired a few more shots. Two more enemies fell, but the rest still chasing, like mad dogs.
Shen Qiu gritted his teeth. His fingers quickly tapped on his device. A light blinked—
"Electronic interference activated!"
Suddenly, the Falcon Squad's earpieces started buzzing. Their tactical screens became snowy-snowy, cannot see anything.
"Shit! Our tracking system kena jammed!"
The captain's face turned dark. "That Shen Qiu… But you all think you can run forever?"
He pressed a hidden button on his wrist.
Far away, a black drone lifted off into the air. A red scanning light flashed under it, locking onto their location.
Li Chuan and his team didn't know yet.
The real hunting game… just started.
