Chapter 304 - End of arc-4 (2/2)

Stones stared to fall from above, crushing anyone that comes in its way. Stench of blood occupied the air. Screams echoed. People were unable to get out. The doors were locked by someone.

She heard something blast in the building but kept making her way towards the prison.

**********

In the prison,

Wang Shi wrapped a cloth around his mouth to facilitate breathing amidst the heavy dust. ”Get Evan and James out. I will go find Suyin. Hurry, this place is crumbling.”

Because of his doubt on Evan, Wang Shi remained vigilant, and double checked everything before blindly following him. According to Evan, he had built the tunnel over years and no one knew about it. But he noticed footprints at the mouth of the tunnel.

His suspicion peeked upon hearing Alpha and Suyin's interactions.

To double check, he let one of the remote controlled spiders into the tunnel. Half way through, a series of blasts happened, and the entire tunnel came down. Had they gone inside, they wouldn't had made out alive. If not landmines, they'd crushed under the debris or died because of lack of oxygen.

The only way left was to force their way inside. A do or die situation.

It was then he received a message that Feng Jin had reached with the military.

A breather it was.

Revon and Jin took charge with their armies, covering North and East sides. What followed was the collision between the two sides. A slaughter against a humankind. A choreographed dance of destruction.....

Making way through Alpha's militias would have taken time and efforts. And time was something they were running against. Wang Shi hoped on to his vehicle, and launched it like a maniac, forgetting it was equipped with a thing called brakes.

The prison was in the North-West corridor, made of steel walls. ”Jin, air cover from the West.” He ordered. Following the coordinates of his position, a fighter plane came flying above him.

It was no looking back from there.

Under the firing of rocket launchers by Luo, and Evan from the car, and the plane covering them from above, people scurried out of way like ants running away from fire.

”Stop.” Evan hsaid. He pointed at the wall. ”Prison is built with three layers of walls. This should be the first.”

'Should?' Wang Shi had scowled at the use of that word but anyway pulled the car away and ordered the fighter pilot to blow it up. It exploded with a loud roar. Dust settling in the air.

They got down, weapons pointed ahead. To their shock, people came running out from the blown up wall. Kicking. Pushing. They were Alpha's men. Instead of fighting, they were running away from them. Ignoring. As if none saw them.

A portion of the building blew up just then. Clouds of black smoke filled the air.

Realisation struck. Suyin was still inside and the building was crumbling. He could either save James-Zeng or the love of his life.

The love wins. He's selfish and won't leave her to die. Not alone, at least.

He looked at the two.

It was then when he passed the responsibility to them. It's a war, and they'll save their own people first.

He knew they'd do it. Evan would do it for his love.

....

”Suyin? Suyin, come in?” none replied. Wang Shi pressed his ear to concentrate, but not even a tiny voice came from her.

Suddenly a guard attacked from his left. He dodged, and shoot him on head. ”Save your lives, idiots.”
