Chapter 522 Fire!
Swoosh!
Wang Chao moved like lightning, rushing up the stairs to the location of the prison cells mentioned by Old Man Zhang. He kicked open the doors and dragged out all the prisoners inside.
To save time, he tore their blankets apart and created a large net, wrapping them tightly within.
Then, he grabbed the net and swung it forcefully, sending them plummeting downward.
As they flew through the air, Wang Chao leaped from the third floor, descending like a god and creating a small crater upon landing.
After his descent, the net remained suspended in mid-air.
"Aura Shield!"
Wang Chao immediately reacted, forming a shield with his aura to securely hold the people within.
Then, with a loud thud, he flung them off the net, causing them to awaken in pain, letting out cries of agony.
At this moment, Old Man Zhang, along with the three awakened prisoners, rushed over to Wang Chao. He said, "Mr. Wang, there's still one minute left. Hurry, escape through the back door!"
"And those Silver Corps soldiers..."
After leaving the prison cells, he had been mentally calculating the time, knowing they only had a short sixty seconds left.
However, even in such a dire situation, he still worried about the Silver Corps soldiers who had been paralyzed by Wang Chao. He believed they were particularly vulnerable.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Without hesitation, Wang Chao immediately aimed his pistol at the back door of the prison, blasting the lock open. He then handed the firearm to Old Man Zhang and said in a deep voice, "Old Man Zhang, there's an entrance to the sewer at the back door of the prison. Take these people with you and enter the sewer!"
"What about you?!"
"You go first. I will go back and save them."
After saying that, he brushed past Old Man Zhang and rushed towards the corridor.
When Wang Chao reached the corridor, forty-eight seconds had passed according to his mental count.
"Collect!"
Wang Chao opened his hands, activating his immense suction power, drawing all the silver needles from Brother Yao and the other Silver Corps soldiers into the palm of his hand.
Once the needles left their bodies, the affected soldiers immediately regained their mobility.
"Wang Chao, you are not only a murderer but also an escapee. You've committed enough crimes to be executed multiple times. Raise your hands now, or I will shoot!" Brother Yao, regaining his mobility, promptly pulled out another handgun hidden at his waist and aimed it at Wang Chao, his gaze icy and filled with anger.
Swish!
Following Brother Yao's action, the other Silver Corps soldiers did the same, pointing their guns at Wang Chao with stern and cold expressions.
In their eyes, Wang Chao was their enemy, and he must be captured alive!
If capture was impossible, then he must be killed to uphold justice.
Wang Chao's gaze turned cold. "Do you na?vely believe that you are the embodiment of justice?"
"I am a member of the War Department, defending the country and sacrificing my life for the nation. In the name of justice, I am willing to give everything. If we are not the embodiment of justice, then who are you?" Brother Yao said coldly.
Wang Chao cast a cold glance at them and said in a deep voice, "I am not the embodiment of justice either. I'm here to restore your ability to move."
"By the way, I came to tell you what kind of person Sheng Minghui truly is."
"He withdrew everyone to detonate this place, planning to kill me with heavy artillery!"
"To achieve this goal, he does not hesitate to sacrifice all eighteen of you. Do you understand?"
When Wang Chao activated his Xuan Gong earlier and listened carefully, he heard the sounds of tanks and the loading of mortars.
To confirm his suspicions, Wang Chao activated his Divine Vision, seeing through countless walls to observe the situation outside the prison.
Outside the prison, Sheng Minghui had deployed heavy troops, completely surrounding the area. Many soldiers were pouring gasoline at various exits of the prison, clearly intending to burn them alive. Furthermore, Wang Chao overheard Sheng Minghui making calls to bring in bombers to bomb the area.
It was evident that Sheng Minghui had become insane in seeking revenge against Sheng Anhe, willing to sacrifice the lives of the eighteen people in front of him and kill Wang Chao.
However, Brother Yao and the Silver Corps soldiers still idolized Sheng Minghui, thinking of him as their greatest idol.
They were utterly foolish!
"You're talking nonsense. General Sheng is definitely not that kind of person. Everything you're saying is fabricated," Brother Yao retorted coldly.
"Do not you believe me?" Wang Chao frowned.
"Nonsense! We are all soldiers who fought alongside General Sheng on the foreign battlefield. We have seen General Sheng save many soldiers in battle. He's a great commander. How could he be as despicable as you say?" Brother Yao argued.
Wang Chao glanced at them, his tone indifferent. "We do not have time. If you desire to believe in him, then stay here."
"But if you desire to survive, come with me."
After saying that, he immediately turned around and left, swiftly heading towards the entrance to the sewer near the prison's back door.
"Stop right there, or I'll shoot." Brother Yao gritted his teeth, pointing his gun at Wang Chao.
He knew that Wang Chao was formidable, and he might not even be able to hit him if he fired his gun. However, as a steadfast champion of justice, even if he knew he was outmatched, he still wanted to confront Wang Chao, capture or apprehend him.
So, he had his sights on Wang Chao, with his finger already on the trigger.
However, just as he was about to shoot and kill Wang Chao, a sudden change occurred.
Boom!
A mortar shell descended from the sky, striking the entrance of the prison with a deafening explosion.
Accompanied by the explosion, a portion of the prison's structure was destroyed.
All the prison buildings trembled violently, as if experiencing an earthquake.
Flames blazed, spreading from the entrance throughout the prison.
The intense shaking caused Brother Yao to lose his balance, almost falling to the ground.
He and all the Silver Corps soldiers wore shocked expressions as they turned to look at the prison's entrance.
The sight that greeted them caused their pupils to contract drastically.
Outside the destroyed prison entrance, rows of tanks were aimed directly at them, with many mortars positioned behind.
Sheng Minghui stood behind those tanks, his gaze icy as he shouted, "Fire!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
All the tanks and mortars unleashed a devastating barrage of cannon fire.
Countless shells rained down like a violent storm, charging toward the prison.
