Chapter 1112: Traditional Way

“The door was broken.” Zhao Yu pulled the cement door hard, noticing that the hinge of the cement door had been damaged and could not move at all.

The door couldn’t be closed and would not hold back the enemy’s attack.

“That is to say…” Li Jing, covering her shoulder that had been hit by a rubber bullet, said doubtfully, “they have been here before. This is a trap. But… Why? And…”

Li Jing didn’t lose consciousness because of the needles. She also realized that the enemy’s real target was probably Cui Lizhu. She looked down at Cui Lizhu laying on the ground.

Cui Lizhu had been hit by the most anesthesia-laced needles and was still in a deep coma.

The enemy moved quickly and was shooting rubber bullets at Zhao Yu and Li Jing again.

Zhao Yu shot back a few times but it didn’t help them much, so he turned to Li Jing and said, “Captain Li, we can’t stay here. We have to go inside.”

Li Jing shook her head bitterly. “We are done. We can’t escape.”

As she spoke, Li Jing anxiously pulled on Xiao Hang’s body. She wanted to drag him deeper into the passage. Because she had lost her night-vision goggles, she could not see clearly. After she tried to drag him a few times, she turned on her cellphone’s flashlight.

Zhao Yu’s night vision device was invisible. He looked around and saw clearly what was inside the deep chamber. Behind the cement door was a long and narrow passage. The passage sloped downward to a low and deep area.

There were some old wooden boxes stacked beside the door.

What’s in the box? Zhao Yu thought.

There were also helmets and ragged clothes scattered across the ground. Judging from the design of the clothes, Zhao Yu guessed that they were military uniforms from the past, and they looked very similar to the Japanese military uniforms shown on TV.

Is this really the Japanese’ secret fortress? he wondered.

The next moment, Zhao Yu saw something else that excited him. He saw that in the middle of the distant passage, there was a worn-out mining cart.

He looked at the ground again and saw that there were two sets of tracks on the ground, side by side. They were clearly for the mining cart.

If this mining cart still works… he thought.

While Zhao Yu was looking around the passage, Xiao Hang made a sound. He seemed to be gradually waking up. Zhao Yu used another antidote on Xiao Hang. This time, the system told Zhao Yu that the antidote no longer needed any enhancement. Zhao Yu used it successfully on Xiao Hang.

After using it, Xiao Hang coughed a few times then suddenly opened his eyes.

“You are awake. Thank god.” Li Jing was very happy and immediately went to help Xiao Hang.

Xiao Hang frowned. He suddenly remembered what had happened to him earlier. “We were ambushed,” he shouted.

“Don’t say anything,” Zhao Yu urged as he looked at the approaching enemies. “Xiao Hang, Li Jing, hurry up, come and help me.”

Zhao Yu helped Xiao Hang over to the mining cart. Li Jing didn’t understand what Zhao Yu was doing. She moved quickly to keep up with him. After she saw the mining cart in the light of her phone, she understood what Zhao Yu meant.

Then, together they pushed the heavy mining cart onto the tracks. Although the cart was missing a wheel, it still moved.

After they did that, Zhao Yu ran back to get Cui Lizhu and put her in the cart.

Later, Zhao Yu pushed the mining cart down the slope.

By that time, the enemy had rushed in through the cement door. All of them were wearing night vision devices. As soon as they entered, they saw Zhao Yu and shot at him.

Seeing that the mining cart had started moving, Li Jing immediately got in and shot back.

Then Xiao Hang got in the cart and took out his gun to shoot back at the enemy.

Zhao Yu remembered that he had taken Xiao Hang’s gun. How had he gotten another one?

Just then, a rubber bullet hit Zhao Yu’s back.

Ouch, he thought.

Zhao Yu was in great pain. It was hard for him to keep his footing. Suddenly, he fell into the mining cart head-first. The bottom half of his body was in the air and a rubber bullet hit his thigh.

Zhao Yu cried out in pain. The bullet almost hit his most important body part. Although the Invisible Biochemical Suit hadn’t lost its effect, his thigh still hurt a lot.

Zhao Yu shrank back into the cart. Unexpectedly, when his head reached the bottom of the cart, he found a rectangular metal object.

Ah.

Zhao Yu’s eyes stared wide. His adrenaline was pumping because the shape of the item he felt was similar to that of a gold bar.

He reached for it without thinking. It was very cold and heavy. It felt very much like a gold bar in his hand.

WOW, Zhao Yu thought.

Zhao Yu was stunned. If I can find a gold bar in the broken mining cart, can I find the treasure in this place? he wondered.

Just then, as the mining cart rolled downward along the slope, its speed gradually accelerated. Feeling the vibrations coming from the cart body, Zhao Yu suddenly felt as though he was filming Raiders of the Lost Ark.

When the enemy saw that Zhao Yu and his team were trying to escape using the mining cart, their attacks intensified. Li Jing and Xiao Hang couldn’t defend themselves against the attack, so they squatted down in the cart to protect themselves.

The mining cart was not big. It was quite crowded with four of them in the cart. Each of them was pressed firmly against the others.

Xiao Hang realized that the enemy was using rubber bullets. “They are not using real guns. What’s going on?” he asked Li Jing. “What happened to you guys before?”

“They’re rubber bullets…” Li Jing answered absently. She was looking for something. “Do any of you see the brake?”

At that moment, Zhao Yu finally had a chance to lift up the item in his hand as he shouted, “Look at the gold. Gold…”

As Zhao Yu attempted to show the item in his hand to the others, the mining cart suddenly shook violently. He lost his balance and the item fell into the mining cart and hit Xiao Hang’s foot.

“Ah,” Xiao Hang screamed miserably. “Zhao Yu, what are you doing? You are killing me.”

“I’m sorry, gold, that’s gold…” Zhao Yu said.

Zhao Yu squatted down to look for it, but as the mining cart shook furiously, he suddenly realized that the cart was moving too fast.

A cold wind blew and the cart body shook constantly.

He looked around in haste and saw that the enemy was now far away from them. However, the mining cart was getting faster and faster and was gradually getting out of control.

They were on a slope. Because of gravity, the cart was constantly accelerating. Moreover, because there were many different things scattered on the sunken tracks, the cart bumped and shook constantly. If the cart came off the tracks, the result would be miserable.

He had to find the brake immediately.

“Did you find it, the brake?” Xiao Hang was also aware of the problem. Now, the speed of the mining cart had reached more than 80 kilometers per hour, and it was still getting faster.

“No,” Li Jing said. She had been looking for the brake for a while.

Zhao Yu turned around and looked directly ahead of the mining cart. At such a high speed, he felt like he was riding a roller coaster.

D*mn!

All of a sudden, Zhao Yu was horrified as he realized that there was another mining cart parked ahead. If they continued at such a high speed, they would definitely hit the stopped cart.

Alas.

Zhao frowned and sighed. “it seems that we will have to resort to the traditional method of stopping the cart.”

“Ah?” Li Jing did not understand him. “What traditional method?” she asked.

“Your feet.” Zhao Yu began to step outside of the cart and was going to use his foot as the brake.

“What? Are you crazy?” Xiao Hang quickly grabbed Zhao Yu. “Don’t be a fool. Do you think you are Indiana Jones? Everything in those movies is fake.”

“Come back. There has to at least be a brake pad,” Li Jing shouted.

Zhao Yu laughed to himself. How could they believe he would be so stupid? In fact, he had already prepared an Invisible Accelerator. An Invisible Accelerator could both accelerate and decelerate a vehicle.

Just as Zhao Yu was going to stop the cart with his Invisible Accelerator, he heard a rumble coming from behind him. The enemy was chasing them in another mining cart.

They shot rubber bullets at Zhao Yu again, which caught him by surprise.

Ah.

This time, Zhao Yu really didn’t know what to do. If he didn’t stop the cart, they would crash into the mining cart ahead of them. If he stopped the cart, the enemy would catch them.

What should I do? he wondered.
