Chapter 590 Timely Rescue II
"Hurry, they will figure out Mom and Aunt are coming for them. They know you're here," Athena urged, observing the target's situation.
"On it," Tang Ziyi replied, her voice buried beneath the thunder of gunfire.
"Seems like we need to speed up," Ling Qingyu agreed. That bastard .50 caliber Dishka elongated their short period of opportunity.
Both had wasted over a minute, suppressed at the doorway. Tang Ziyi spotted an emergency staircase and decided to breach through the blockades in front of her.@@@@
Pap. Pap. Pap.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The duo's suppressed shots contrasted completely with the loud replies. Initially, both were moving upward through the main staircase in the center, avoiding contact as much as possible. Nonetheless, once a battle occurred, Tang Ziyi and Ling Qingyu simply finished them off.
Using the elevator was risky, even if there was a backup generator or a large battery somewhere for it. Now that Tang Ziyi had made up her mind, Athena also conscientiously provided navigational guidance through AR glasses.
"My good niece." Tang Ziyi's praise almost caused Ling Qingyu to slip her footing.
The two women's ferocious violence terrified most gang members, prompting them to flee elsewhere. A few resisted and met death sooner. So, those who escaped from the emergency stairwell shrieked when Tang Ziyi and Ling Qingyu followed them. Out of everyone, why choose their group?
Ling Qingyu and Tang Ziyi responded with straightforward shots to the heads, then proceeded. With a high-ready posture, they sprinted at maximum speed. Somebody's life was at stake. Athena's warning blared, making it clear they couldn't afford any hindrances. Between compromising on speed and taking less risk, they chose speed without hesitation.
Tang Ziyi and Ling Qingyu killed a few unfortunate ones on the way, ignoring many doors as they moved upward. Less than 30 seconds later, they reached the top floor and barged in.
Their movements were noticed by the guards. Despite the darkness, they still used flashlights. Like a stage show, Tang Ziyi and Ling Qingyu became the protagonists as several beams fell on their bodies. Not for long, those flashlights were thrown off. Cylindrical beams messed around like disco lights, except the rhythm came from muffled gunshots synchronized with groans and fearful screams.
"Mom! Move now. I've marked the room. Somebody is going to get killed!" Athena prompted the duo to hustle.
Tang Ziyi and Ling Qingyu dashed forward while the latter took out a nine-banger, pulled the pin, and threw it close to the room Athena pointed to.
"Sophia! What do you think you're doing?!"
"Young master... I... I..." Sophia bit her lip, her mind racing to produce a logical excuse to buy time.
"I'm warning you. Don't think your beauty and servitude will make me merciful. Get out before my patience drains away."
"Please consider my words; you can't kill them." Sophia slowly explained. She couldn't see anything in the darkness.
"Why?" Sophia asked, still in disbelief.
"I know you want me to survive and have given suggestions for the greater good, but you're just a plaything. Now, last warning, step aside. It doesn't matter since that force is coming—I've already offended them."
His subordinates began turning on their mobile phone flashlights to light up the room. One whispered in his ear, advising him to make a quick decision and evacuate.
Sophia couldn't believe this bastard was so stupid, though he was right about one thing—the incoming force might not negotiate. She was now on the edge of a cliff. She couldn't retreat or resist.
She swallowed hard, a huge lump rising in her throat. She calmed her emotions, her eyes devoid of thought as if she had already made up her mind.
"Enemies!"
Suddenly, gunshots erupted, and a series of bodies fell to the floor, echoing through the room and distracting the men inside.
An opportunity!
She charged forward, kicked away the handgun from the young master's hand, and delivered a powerful sidekick to his head. The man screamed in pain from the pressure of her heel, which almost ruptured his skin.
She then dashed to the nearest man, snatched his pistol by surprise, delivered a few elbows, and opened fire on his head.
Grabbing the dead body before it fell as cover, she aimed at the stunned men and pulled the trigger successively. The men were shocked at this subdued woman's sudden attack and the third party's assault outside.
She took down five more men before they reacted and opened fire. A few bullets were blocked by the body she held, but one managed to penetrate, hitting her and feeling like a punch to the chest. She fell helplessly, taking down two more before a huge bang struck, followed by repeated flashes and explosions.
Ling Qingyu and Tang Ziyi hastened their pace and saw a couple of men, cowering and pointing their weapons toward the bed. They didn't hesitate and fired, ripping through the bodies as the men fell to the ground.
Both put additional rounds on each body; only then, Tang Ziyi studied the room and looked for the hostages. She found two of them as told by Athena.
Ling Qingyu stood near the threshold, covering the hallway. She would fire a few shots at the men, who hustled out of the room.
"Make it quick, man."
"I'm not a man." Tang Ziyi scolded and checked the hostages until Athena explained the situation before they came.
Frowning a little, Tang Ziyi freed the imprison man after an exchange of secret codes and ordered them to follow her commands. Then, she moved to the woman lying underneath the man to attend to her situation.
According to Athena, this woman saved the lives of the hostages and bought precious time.
