Chapter 523: Don’t Be Afraid, Mommy. I’m Here.

Ye Ling moved and darted forward without warning. With a gun in each hand, he began shooting suddenly. The muzzles of the dozens of agents were immediately aimed at Ye Ling. The sound of rapid gunfire was heard, and there was an intense battle at the mine. A bullet shot through Ye Ling’s arm, but four from the opposing side were dead.

The lanky man cursed. “Kill him with rapid fire!”

He had just ordered for that when gunshots were heard from inside the ore mountain. Ye Ling turned around, and there was a feeling of destruction all around him. He looked towards the ore mountain. Just within this short period of losing focus, a hidden sniper had aimed carefully and precisely. A bullet shot right through the air and into his chest.

At the same time, in the ore mountain.

Shen Qianshu and Tong Hua searched in darkness. There were two of the mercenaries lying behind them, and they were struggling to report something. Although they were shot, they were not dead. Shen Qianshu pulled Tong Hua, and they ran deeper in.

“Mommy, why do you have a gun?”

“For defense.”

Shen Qianshu was feeling tense, and her palms were sweaty. She was just lucky that she knew they were being chased. Hiding would only make them an easy target. She switched off the power supply along the path in the ore mountain and pulled Tong Hua along as they ran into a dimly lit area. She shot randomly and finally hit someone. She pulled Tong Hua along again and continued running in.

The two of them reached the entrance of the tunnel. It was a huge electronic door that led to the underground area and the safe room. Shen Qianshu keyed in the password: ‘stupid,’ and the door immediately opened. The two of them entered, and they went towards the safe room. The moment they passed the safe room, there were two paths.

Ye Ling had once said that the underground paths were like a maze. Taking a wrong turn would mean never getting out again.

If they had no food or water, they would end up starving to death in the tunnel.

Two roads. Which one to pick?

“Left!” Tong Hua said.

Shen Qianshu asked, “Why?”

“Daddy said so. Odd numbers left, even numbers right.”

Shen Qianshu was too anxious along the way, and she wished she could be by Ye Ling’s side, but she would never put Tong Hua in risky situations. This time, as she escaped, she was feeling really confused. She had seen a group of armed men surrounding Ye Ling.

She had also heard the sound of gunshots.

Will Master be able to survive?

There were so many people, how could he handle all of them?

She was really confused, but Tong Hua was pretty calm.

The two of them picked the left side. Odd numbers left, even numbers right. Tong Hua took out his phone. Indeed, there was no signal. There was light in the tunnel, and it was not dark. Shen Qianshu and Tong Hua walked for almost twenty minutes before they finally reached the second junction. Right turn.

Tong Hua recorded it on his phone. As time passed, they had walked for a total of seven hours, and they still had not found their way out of the ore mountain.

Shen Qianshu asked, “Did we take the wrong path?”

As long as they took a wrong path, they would be trapped here forever and never be able to return. This is because every wrong path has another passage. When there were more passages, things naturally got more confusing!

She was really worried. She was too worried about whether Ye Ling was dead or alive, and she really wanted to get out, but she could not even calm down.

What about Zhong Ran and Ah Da? How are they?

Were the first few gunshots aimed at Zhong Ran and Ah Da? They would never leave Ye Ling unless they were dead!

What happened to them?

Tong Hua responded. “No. I remember clearly. Nothing’s wrong.”

Cold sweat was streaming down Shen Qianshu’s back, and they seeped through her clothes, making her feel cold. Under the maze-like tunnel, the air was getting thinner, and she could sense death approaching them slowly.

“Could the first junction be considered as an even number, 0?”

“Mommy, nobody counts like this! Mommy, don’t be afraid. I’m here!”
