“Boss, what should we do now? Are we going to hide here forever?” Zhou Liang asked softly.

“Even if we don’t die from the stench, we’ll eventually starve to death.”

“We’ll talk about it tonight. Going out now is suicide.”

Although they had not run out of ammunition and food, they had already lost contact with the outside world.

The foreigners were all standing guard outside. This place had become a surrounded area. They were now in dire straits. Whether he could get out depended on his luck.

However, through all the signs, Lin Yi felt that the instigator of this matter was very likely targeting him.

Initially, Lin Yi’s analysis was that criminals were attempting to smuggle the ore they had acquired secretly into Huaxia.

Now, it seemed this possibility was very low.

The real intention appeared to be using the ore to divert the enemy’s attention to himself, and then to fulfill their goal of eliminating him.

As for the situation at the Central Guards Brigade, Lin Yi was almost certain that there was a mole. Otherwise, such a coincidence could not have happened.

However, he could only deal with these things when he returned.

Unfortunately, he did not know if he could even go back.

“Boss, the people from Team 2 and Team 3 should be here soon.”

“If I’m not wrong, they should already be here, but I don’t know where they are.” Lin Yi said.

“We can only pray to the heavens that they can take the initiative to find this place. Only then will we have a small chance of surviving.”

“I’ve never done anything good since I was young. I don’t think the heavens will care about me. You should pray.”

“We’re the same. I’m afraid that after I pray, the heavens will strike us with lightning and we ll both die.”

“If I can go back, I’ll eat vegetarian food and pray to Buddha for the rest of my life. I’ll be a good person.”

“What about abstinence?”

“As the old saying goes, food and sex are the same. If you ask me to abstain from sex, isn’t it equivalent to not letting me eat? That won’t be good.”

“Haha…” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Although the situation outside was precarious, the two of them were chatting and laughing.

The two of them stayed in the sewer for more than ten hours.

Not to mention Zhou Liang, even Lin Yi couldn’t take it.

Her arms were sore, and he needed to change his posture continuously to ease the soreness in his body.

Coupled with the harsh environment, his body could not fully stretch, and his posture was very distorted.

These were the main reasons for their physical decline.

It was late at night, but they could still hear the voices outside.

The danger was not far away. They could not act rashly.

As time passed, the sun rose in the east and set in the west. The two of them stayed in the sewer in this state for two days and two nights.

Lin Yi and Zhou Liang had long stopped thinking about how they had lasted for so long.

At this moment, their minds transcended their bodies. Exhaustion no longer affected them.

Over the past two days, the foreign forces had sealed this area tightly.

Almost every ten minutes, they could hear voices coming from above.

Moreover, there were people walking over their heads, and there was even the sound of motorcycles.

This was something Lin Yi had never thought about before.

He originally thought that after hiding here for some time, the other party would let down their guard and he would be able to find an opportunity to escape.

However, they did not expect the group of foreigners to be so persistent. After two days and two nights, they did not give up.

Moreover, they even took such a strict approach to guarding this place.

After this incident, Lin Yi had a new perspective on the foreigners.

Even though they had yet to comprehend the combat technique of exerting force in their dantian.

However, their tactical literacy was higher than he had imagined.

They were not a motley crew.

“Boss, there’s still no movement from Team 2 and Team 3. Could there be a mistake?” Zhou Liang muttered.

“Why doesn’t it feel like a surprise attack at all?”

“It’s possible.” Lin Yi said in a low voice.

“It’s been such a long time. Even if they walked, they should have been able to reach us. Yet, they haven’t arrived yet. They might have been stopped, so let’s not count on them. We have to think of a way out and rely on ourselves.”

“That can’t be. Those people can’t be so bold. They’re from the Huaxia government!”

“They blew up the Pentagon. What else can’t they do?”

Lin Yi adjusted his position. Keeping the same posture for a long time made his joints feel like they were rusted.

Even the slightest movement was extremely painful.

“The current international situation is far more complicated than you think. Moreover, ten kilograms of ore is far more important than you think. The fact that the Meiguons are here to disrupt the situation makes things even more unscrupulous.”

After thinking for a long time, Zhou Liang said,

“I’ve calculated carefully. There are more than twenty foreign forces combined. With so many people mixed together, won’t there be internal strife? This might be our breakthrough.”

“That’s unlikely.” Lin Yi voiced out his thoughts.

“If there were internal strife, it would have happened long ago. There hasn’t been any major conflict until now, and there’s a high chance that it won’t happen in the future. With the Meiguons here as the stabilizing force, those foreigners will have to think twice.”

“Everyone knows how powerful Meiguo is. Even if the people outside the borders join forces, they won’t be their match. Aren’t they afraid of letting others benefit?”

“Because Huaxia is getting stronger and stronger. Even if the Meiguons can’t get the ores, they have to think of a way to establish their prestige in this matter,” Lin Yi said.

“Think about it. If they succeed in this operation, their future international reputation will reach an unprecedented height. The bootlickers of other countries will become even more crazily attached to them. We will be even more isolated. In the long run, the impact of this matter will be unprecedented.”

Lin Yi paused and continued.

“So now, while they’re searching for the two of us, squaring off against Huaxia’s armed forces is also their main task.”

“Plainly put, their purpose is unified against the reinforced armed forces, but it’s scattered when it comes to dealing with us.”

“Compared to the Meiguons, these foreigners are definitely lacking in some respects, but they have high mobility and aren’t bound by international rules, something the Meiguons can’t match, since, no matter how shameless, they still have some dignity.”

“So right now, we’re like grasshoppers trapped in a box,” Zhou Liang said.

“Whether we can get out or not will depend on the heavens.”

Lin Yi shrugged. “There’s nothing we can do now. We can only wait for an opportunity. Either we kill them or we starve to death.”

“If I really starve to death, I’ll die aggrieved.”

Lin Yi patted the ore tied to his body and sighed.

“It’s all because of this..”
