Li Wei caught up with the group, and said to Su Ting in a somewhat playful tone, "If this operation succeeds..."
"That means we have uncovered a huge conspiracy and saved many innocent lives."
Su Ting interjected, his tone revealing firmness and confidence, "But this is far from the end."
Chapter 333 Huge Factory
"But this also means that we have become a thorn in the side of some people."
Lin Tao continued, his gaze towards Su Ting filled with seriousness, "Mr. Su, have you considered the potential trouble this might cause?"
“Of course,” Su Ting nodded. “But I believe that as long as we stand united, there is nothing we cannot handle.”
Everyone nodded. Although they still had some doubts, they all knew that the most important thing at the moment was to complete the mission.
In the darkness, the group continued along the path. Moonlight shone on their resolute backs, adding an air of mystery to this unknown battle.
Finally, they stopped in front of a dilapidated gate. The gate was ajar, and the inside was pitch black, with only a faint light flickering in a corner.
"We're here, this is it," Yang Ming said softly, while signaling everyone to be on high alert.
Su Ting took a deep breath and led the way by pushing open the rickety door.
Inside the gate was a huge factory building, empty inside, but a covered area could be vaguely seen in the distance.
“The equipment should be over there,” Su Ting pointed ahead.
Li Wei nodded and stepped inside first, followed closely by the others.
With each step they took, they became more cautious, afraid of alerting any enemies lurking in the darkness.
Suddenly, a cold voice came from the shadows: "Don't move!"
Everyone stopped immediately and looked around nervously. A figure slowly emerged from the darkness, holding a gun and with sharp eyes.
"Who are you?" the other party questioned, clearly not welcoming their arrival.
“We’re here to resolve a major problem,” Su Ting replied calmly. “If you are also a victim, perhaps we can cooperate.”
The man was silent for a moment, seemingly considering Su Ting's words, but he quickly shook his head: "Sorry, I don't believe you."
Before he finished speaking, he swiftly raised his gun and pointed it at them. At the same time, several armed men appeared around the factory, forming an encirclement.
"Damn it!" Lin Tao whispered, "We're trapped."
"Calm down," Su Ting instructed in a low voice. "Try not to take action. Try to find a way to negotiate first."
Just then, a series of noisy footsteps came from behind. Turning around, they saw that the enemies they had previously driven back were chasing after them again. The situation suddenly became extremely complicated, with enemies in front and behind.
"Looks like we have no choice but to give it a shot." A resolute glint flashed in Li Wei's eyes.
Just then, an unexpected voice rang out—
"Stop, everyone!" With this command, a man in a black robe with a cold face stepped forward.
All eyes were drawn to this man. His appearance seemed to carry an irresistible aura, causing both sides to involuntarily lower their guard.
"Who is he?" Yang Ming asked in a low voice.
Su Ting frowned slightly, seemingly somewhat surprised: "I don't know either..."
The man in black spoke slowly, his voice deep yet extremely intimidating.
“Your fighting is meaningless to me, but if anyone dares to disrupt the peace here, I will deal with them without mercy. Now, put down your weapons.”
Those around him began to hesitate. After all, at this point, no one could guarantee what would happen next. However, it was Li Wei who was the first to lay down his weapon.
“Listen to him,” he said to his companions. “We’re here to find out the truth, not to waste our energy.”
Seeing this, the others also put down their weapons, and the atmosphere eased considerably.
The man in black nodded in satisfaction: "Very good. Now tell me your true purpose."
“We’re looking for a crucial piece of equipment,” Su Ting explained. “That equipment is vital to the safety of the entire city. We would be extremely grateful if you could help.”
Chapter 334 The Consequences Would Be Unthinkable
The man in black's gaze lingered on Su Ting's face for a few seconds, seemingly assessing his sincerity.
Finally, he slowly nodded: "I can consider helping you, but I need more information."
Su Ting smiled slightly, took a few steps forward, and appeared very calm.
"The device was hidden here by a man named Karl, who has close ties to a group called the Dark Night Organization. This device can control the entire city's power system, and if it falls into the wrong hands, the consequences would be unimaginable."
The man in black frowned slightly, seemingly familiar with the name. "Karl..." he murmured, "I know where he is."
A flicker of surprise crossed Su Ting's eyes. "Then would you be willing to take us to see him? We need to find the equipment and destroy it."
“I’ll take you there.” The man in black finally relented, but his tone remained cold. “But I have conditions.”
"What are the conditions?" Lin Tao asked.
The man in black glanced at them, his eyes icy. "After this is done, you must promise never to set foot in this place again, and you must not reveal anything about this place. Otherwise..."
Su Ting nodded immediately, "We will keep our promise."
The man in black didn't say anything more, but simply waved for them to follow.
Led by him, the group walked through the dimly lit factory and along a secluded path. The air was filled with a damp and musty smell, which sent a chill down their spines.
They walked past several abandoned workbenches, over scattered scrap metal, and arrived at a half-open door.
The man in black stopped and looked back at the group. "Get ready, there might be a tough battle inside."
Su Ting gripped his weapon tightly and nodded. The other team members also prepared themselves, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.
The moment the door was pushed open, the lights suddenly turned on, illuminating an empty room.
A large table stood in the center, with several chairs scattered around it. A man sat behind the table, staring at them with a cold expression. This was Karl.
“You’ve come at the right time,” Karl said in a somber voice. “Now that you’re all here, let’s settle this once and for all.”
Su Ting stepped forward, his eyes sharp. "Hand over the equipment, and we can resolve this peacefully."
Karl sneered, "Do you think I'd hand it over to you so easily? This is my trump card, the one that will give me control of this city."
The Black Man spoke coldly: "Karl, you've gone too far. Hand over the equipment and stop letting innocent people suffer."
Karl's expression shifted, seemingly wavering. "Who exactly are you people? Why are you always meddling in other people's business?"
Su Ting said firmly, "Because it is our responsibility. We will not let this city fall into darkness."
Carl gritted his teeth, pulled a small metal box from under the table, and placed it on the table. "Fine, take it if you want! But that doesn't mean it's over."
Lin Tao stepped forward and carefully opened the box; the equipment was indeed inside. After confirming that everything was correct, he nodded to Su Ting.
Su Ting turned to the man in black. "Thank you. We will keep our promise."
The man in black looked at them coldly. "Don't forget your promise."
Just as everyone was preparing to leave, a burst of gunfire shattered the peace. Carl seized the opportunity to escape towards the door, clearly indicating that reinforcements had arrived.
"Hurry up!" Su Ting shouted, and everyone quickly ran outside.
They rushed out of the room only to find themselves surrounded. A dozen armed men had them completely encircled.
Su Ting frowned and said, "It seems we've been outmaneuvered after all."
The man in black coldly surveyed the crowd. "Come with me, I can lead you out of here."
They followed closely behind, traversing the ruins of the factory area and avoiding enemy fire.
Bullets flew everywhere, and everyone was careful to avoid being exposed to the enemy's line of sight.
After several fierce firefights, they finally broke through the encirclement and arrived at a hidden exit.
The man in black pointed to the woods in the distance, "Run along this road, and you'll reach safety soon."
Li Wei said gratefully, "Thank you for your help. You are truly a trustworthy friend."
The man in black looked at them coldly. "I don't need any thanks. I just hope you remember your promise."
Su Ting nodded solemnly, "I will never forget."
"Alright, time is running out, let's go," the man in black urged.
"Take care," Su Ting said one last time, before leading his team deep into the woods.
Chapter 335 Well-trained skills
The man in black watched them disappear into the distance, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He turned and went back into the factory; there were still many things he needed to deal with.
Su Ting and his group moved through the woods, despite the constant gunfire and whistling bullets all around them.
But thanks to their keen senses and well-trained skills, they gradually distanced themselves from the enemy.
The dense vegetation in the forest provides natural cover.
Lin Tao, panting heavily, gripped the equipment tightly in his hands and said to Su Ting, "What do we do now? We're not completely out of danger yet."
Su Ting's eyes were firm as he replied, "We need to find a safe place before contacting our backup team. They should have received the signal by now."
