Chapter 173: Densely packed intelligence documents.
Su Ming advanced cautiously, remaining vigilant at all times. Suddenly, he heard light footsteps behind him. Su Ming quickly turned around, pointing his gun directly behind him.
"Don't be nervous, it's me." A familiar voice sounded in the shadows.
Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief. That was an agent from Juntong. He had completed several missions with Su Ming before. The other party's arrival made Su Ming temporarily let down his guard.
"Why are you here?" Su Ming asked with a hint of doubt in his tone.
"The higher-ups were worried that you couldn't handle it alone, so they sent me for support." The agent stepped out of the shadows with a faint smile on his face.
Su Ming nodded and said nothing more, but he was not completely relaxed in his heart. He knew that in this situation, no one could be fully trusted, not even his former comrades.
They continued forward together. The factory's interior was long and winding, its walls covered in dust and cobwebs. Su Ming walked ahead, maintaining a high level of alert, while the agent followed behind him. The two of them worked in perfect harmony. Although there was no extra communication, their tacit understanding was sufficient.
However, as they approached their target, Su Ming suddenly felt a sense of foreboding. This feeling came without warning, yet was incredibly strong. He paused slightly, then gestured to stop.
"What's wrong?" the agent asked in a low voice, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Su Ming didn't answer, merely signaling him to remain quiet. He listened carefully to the sounds around him. There seemed to be a subtle, strange presence in the air. Just then, he heard a faint, almost inaudible, clang of metal, but enough to instantly alert him.
"There's an ambush," Su Ming whispered, a cold glint in his eyes. He made a quick decision, waving his hand for the agents to retreat while he quietly approached the corner, seeking cover.
The agent nodded and retreated to the corner with Su Ming. They held their breath, awaiting their next move. Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and the entire space became silent, with only the sound of their heartbeats echoing in their ears.
Suddenly, a burst of fierce gunfire shattered the silence. Bullets whizzed past, striking the wall behind them and kicking up a cloud of dust. Su Ming reacted quickly, firing back. He glanced at the agent out of the corner of his eye, only to find he was also firing fiercely.
Their situation was clearly very unfavorable. The enemy had clearly laid a well-prepared ambush, and the barrage of bullets from all directions left them with virtually no place to hide. Su Ming gritted his teeth, firing back while pondering a strategy. He knew that remaining here would be tantamount to waiting for death; he had to break out quickly.
"Follow me!" Su Ming shouted, leading the agent to a quick exit. The enemy's suppressive fire made their movements extremely difficult, but Su Ming, with his extraordinary reaction speed and accurate judgment, successfully avoided several fatal attacks.
However, just as they were about to break out of the encirclement, the agent suddenly screamed and fell to the ground. He had been shot in the shoulder, and blood instantly stained his clothes red.
"Go! Leave me alone!" the agent said, gritting his teeth while enduring the pain.
Su Ming paused slightly, glancing at the other man with a wavering look. The agent's eyes were filled with pain and determination, but he knew that if he stopped to save the man, they would both die.
"Let's go together!" Su Ming finally made a decision. He did not choose to abandon his companion. Instead, he grabbed the other's arm, dragged him up forcibly, and rushed towards the exit with him.
The enemy's firepower remained fierce, but Su Ming, relying on his excellent judgment and skills, managed to break out with the injured agent. The two finally rushed out of the factory and hid in the ruins, temporarily escaping the enemy's pursuit.
The agent leaned against the wall, breathing heavily, his face pale. His injuries were serious, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered, his eyes filled with gratitude towards Su Ming.
"Thanks, Su Ming." The agent said weakly with a wry smile on his face.
"Don't talk about that. We're not out of danger yet," Su Ming said calmly, pulling out a first aid kit and briefly tending to the man's wounds. His movements were swift and expert, evidently one he'd experienced many similar situations on the battlefield.
"What should we do next?" the agent asked, enduring the pain.
"The enemy won't let us go easily. We must find a safe place to hide," Su Ming said in a deep voice, a glint of determination in his eyes. He knew that the current predicament was only the beginning, and a greater crisis lay ahead.
As night fell, the ruins became even more eerie. Su Ming and the agents moved cautiously through the darkness. They had to find a safe place to spend the night and contact headquarters as soon as possible. The surrounding environment was full of uncertainty, and every step could lead to an enemy trap.
Suddenly, Su Ming's ears caught a peculiar sound, and he immediately gestured to stop. The agent, sensing the tense atmosphere, quickly stopped and held his breath.
Su Ming listened carefully. The sound was getting closer, like a gentle sound of footsteps approaching them. Su Ming's fingers gripped the handle of his gun tightly, his eyes as sharp as a hawk's as he stared at the direction of the sound.
Just as he was about to take action, a dark shadow suddenly flashed out from the other side of the ruins and pounced directly at Su Ming. Su Ming reacted extremely quickly, quickly dodging to the side while raising his gun to point at the other party.
"Don't shoot!" the other party shouted in a low voice, with a hint of familiarity in his voice.
Su Ming's finger stopped on the trigger. He looked carefully at the black shadow in front of him, and after a moment he finally recognized the other party - it was another agent, also an elite within Juntong.
"Why are you here?" Su Ming asked in a low voice, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes. He knew that under the current situation
In Su Ming's eyes, this mission was undoubtedly the most challenging yet. He was assigned an extremely dangerous undercover mission: infiltrating the enemy camp under a double identity. This mission not only involved contacting high-ranking enemy commanders, but also required Su Ming to penetrate deep into the enemy's inner structure, exchanging intelligence and instigating rebellion against all odds.
The moment he received the mission, Su Ming's emotions became incredibly complex. As a seasoned agent, he understood the difficulties of concealment and disguise, and he knew even more clearly that in the complexities of dual identities, any small oversight could lead to mission failure or even life-threatening danger. Su Ming's brow furrowed slightly as he stood in Juntong's command room, surrounded by busy agents and densely packed intelligence documents.
