"Enough with the nonsense," the guard interrupted impatiently. "You're surrounded. Surrender now!"
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps approached, and another guard appeared at the other end of the corridor. Zhao De knew he couldn't delay any longer. He gestured to Li Ming and Zhou Jie beside him, preparing to launch a surprise attack.
Li Ming and Zhou Jie quickly understood Zhao De's meaning. The two men stood up almost simultaneously and lunged at each other. Zhao De seized the opportunity to rush forward and fire a shot at the guard blocking their path, who fell to the ground. The other guard immediately raised his gun to return fire, but it was too late. Li Ming leaped at him, and the two began to wrestle.
"Hurry up!" Zhao De shouted, leading Li Ming and Zhou Jie to run quickly toward the exit.
At this moment, Lin Xue and Wang Yu also arrived. Seeing that Zhao De and the other two were safe and sound, they breathed a sigh of relief. The five of them rushed towards the exit together and finally saw a glimmer of hope.
“The safe zone is just ahead,” Zhao De said, panting. “We need to get out of here as soon as possible.”
“That car is waiting for us,” Wang Yu pointed to a black sedan not far ahead. “Let’s get in quickly!”
Just as they were about to reach the car, they suddenly heard a loud bang behind them. Turning around, they saw the entire building shaking violently, with flames erupting everywhere. Immediately afterwards, a thick plume of smoke shot straight into the sky.

"Oh no, this place is going to explode!" Li Xiao exclaimed.
"Get in the car quickly!" Zhao De shouted. Everyone quickly scrambled into the car. As soon as the door closed, the driver floored the accelerator, and the car sped away like an arrow.
Outside the car window, flames illuminated the night sky, and the entire building collapsed completely amidst a deafening roar. They had finally escaped this dangerous place, but no one knew what awaited them next…
The car sped through the night, the surrounding scenery rushing past. Everyone inside was on edge, not daring to relax for a moment. Zhao De looked back through the car window at the burning building, secretly relieved that he had managed to escape in time.
"Are we really safe?" Li Xiao's voice trembled slightly.
"At least for now, we're safe." Zhao De took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. "The most important thing now is to get back to the base as soon as possible and report the situation to the organization."
Lin Xue leaned back in her seat, gazing out the window, seemingly deep in thought. Wang Yu, on the other hand, gripped the steering wheel tightly, completely focused on driving.
"What is the objective of this mission? Why have so many guards been drawn here?" Li Ming broke the silence, his voice tinged with doubt.
Zhao De pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke: "This mission concerns an important intelligence document, supposedly about the enemy's new technology. We must obtain this document, otherwise our advantage will vanish."
"Have we gotten it yet?" Zhou Jie asked.
Zhao De shook his head: "No, we were discovered in advance and had to retreat. But fortunately, we have a backup plan, and someone will take over the follow-up work."
A brief silence fell over the carriage as everyone silently prayed that the mission wouldn't be in vain. By this time, the vehicle had left the city and entered a desolate wilderness.
“We need to find a place to hide temporarily,” Zhao De suggested. “We can’t let the enemy discover our whereabouts.”
Wang Yu nodded, slowed down, and looked for a suitable location. Soon, he found an abandoned factory and drove inside.
After the car came to a stop, everyone got out and nervously surveyed their surroundings. The place was very remote and quiet.
"Looks like a good hiding place," Zhao De said.
"But we still need to be careful; we don't know if the enemy has followed us," Lin Xue reminded her.
The group quickly entered the factory and began clearing and reinforcing the entrance to ensure it wouldn't be easily breached. Just then, Zhao De suddenly received a text message, and his expression changed slightly.
“It’s a message from headquarters,” Zhao De said in a low voice. “They’ve already coordinated with our previous operation, and now they need us to go to another location to retrieve some crucial information.”
“Then let’s set off as soon as possible,” Li Xiao said firmly.
“Okay,” Zhao De nodded. “We must complete the mission as soon as possible and not let the enemy succeed.”
The group quickly packed their gear and prepared to set off again. Just then, footsteps suddenly came from outside the factory. Everyone was startled and quickly drew their weapons, hiding behind the door.
"Who is it?" Zhao De asked in a low voice, then signaled everyone to prepare for battle.
The door slowly opened, and a strange man stood in the doorway, looking flustered. He asked, "Are you here to pick up some documents?"

Chapter 1350 Safe Return to Base.
Zhao De frowned, but remained wary: "Who are you?"
“I am the guard here,” the man said urgently. “Here are the documents you need, but the enemy is coming soon, and you must take them with you immediately!”
"How do you know all this?" Lin Xue questioned.
"I received a call telling me that several people would be coming to collect documents, and that I must hand them over," the man explained.
"Where is that document?" Zhao De asked decisively.
"Follow me!" The man immediately turned around and led the way. Zhao De and the others followed closely behind, carefully following him deeper into the factory.
Finally, in a secret room, the man opened a safe containing several important documents and a small electronic device.
"Here is all the intelligence; take it now," the man said.
Zhao De quickly took the document, checked it, and after confirming that there were no problems, put it into his backpack. "Thank you, we will remember your help."
"You're welcome. I just hope all this can end soon," the man sighed.
“Then let’s leave here now,” Zhao De decisively ordered. “Everyone get ready, we’re leaving immediately.”
The group quickly left the secret room and returned to the car outside. Just then, they heard the faint sound of police sirens in the distance, indicating that the enemy had arrived.
"Get in the car!" Zhao De shouted. The group quickly climbed into the car, and the driver floored the accelerator. The car shot off like an arrow.
The car sped through the night, the sirens fading into the distance. Inside, the passengers relaxed slightly, but they knew the real test was yet to come.
“Next, we need to get these documents to headquarters,” Zhao De said. “The journey may be more dangerous, and everyone needs to be careful.”
“Understood,” Lin Xue nodded firmly, “We will definitely succeed.”
"That's good," Zhao De looked out the window, silently praying, "We can't lose."
Just as they were rushing to headquarters, his phone suddenly rang. Zhao De answered the call, and a serious voice came through: "Have you received the documents? Return to base immediately. We're waiting for you there."
"Okay, I'll be there soon," Zhao De replied succinctly.
The car wound its way through the darkness, with only occasional beams of light piercing through the clouds to illuminate the road ahead. The atmosphere inside was tense and oppressive; everyone was on edge. The driver's eyes were exceptionally focused, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly, trying to avoid any potential obstacles as quickly as possible.
"Brother Zhao, are you sure we can get back to base safely?" Lin Xue looked at Zhao De sitting in the passenger seat, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.
Zhao De took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. "Nothing we say now matters, but we will do our best," he replied firmly, his calm tone offering some reassurance to everyone. "In any case, these documents are of great importance and cannot fall into the enemy's hands."
Before the words were even finished, a team member in the back seat suddenly whispered, "Wait... I think I heard something..." The others in the car immediately became alert, pressing their ears against the windows to try and catch the faint sound.
The driver slowed the car down, and in the silence, a faint but increasingly close engine roar could be heard. "Damn it!" the team member shouted almost simultaneously, "The pursuers!"

"Everyone hold on tight!" Zhao De shouted sternly, while giving the driver a wink. With a sudden acceleration, the previously relatively stable vehicle began to shake violently, and the dark world outside seemed to tremble as well.
"How did they find us?" someone couldn't help but ask, their voice trembling with tension.
"Don't think too much about it for now, just focus on dealing with the situation at hand," Captain Zhao replied calmly, quickly surveying the surroundings in hopes of finding a suitable hiding place or a way to escape.
Just then, a bright light shone from behind, piercing the night and illuminating every corner of the vehicle—the enemy was very close. "They have searchlights; at this rate, we'll be forced to stop soon."
Faced with this situation, Zhao De had already made a decision. "Xiao Li, turn on the radio jamming equipment; Lao Zhang, prepare to use backup plan one. We must shake off their tails as soon as possible!" The order was given quickly, and everyone immediately sprang into action.
As the radio jamming device was activated, external communications were immediately thrown into chaos. Taking advantage of this brief respite, Old Zhang, the team's technical expert, rapidly typed on his laptop: "Ready, as soon as the other side lowers their guard for even a moment..."
Just as everyone held their breath, waiting for their chance, a sudden, powerful impact accompanied by violent shaking reverberated throughout the car—the enemy vehicle was clearly trying to overtake them and force their sedan to stop. Fortunately, it was at a slight bend in the road, and using the terrain advantage and skillful driving techniques, their car deftly swerved to the side, avoiding the impact and successfully creating distance.
"Now, quick!" Upon hearing this, Lao Zhang immediately executed the emergency plan he had prepared beforehand. At the same time, the driver swerved sharply, forcibly changing lanes at a location that didn't seem suitable for turning, and plunged into a hidden alley.
After several twists and turns, they finally managed to shake off their pursuers temporarily, but this did not mean the danger was over. "Everyone, remain on high alert and be prepared to respond at any time," Captain Zhao whispered a reminder. Despite having just survived a close call, no one dared to let their guard down for a moment.
Finally, after traveling for a long time along the predetermined route, the familiar outline of the base began to appear faintly in the distance. "Just a little longer, we'll be safe soon." Zhao De's voice carried a rare warmth, which gave everyone the greatest encouragement.
Just when they thought the matter was about to end, their phone vibrated again. Answering the call, a hurried and serious voice came through: "Comrade Zhao, you must immediately change your route and head to the new coordinates A17. The original location has been exposed; please proceed with extreme caution..." Hearing the instructions, Zhao De solemnly closed the call.
A silence fell over the car as everyone exchanged glances, trying to find comfort and strength in each other's eyes.
“New coordinates A17…” Zhao De repeated in a low voice, a hint of suppressed anger in his tone. He quickly unfolded the map, searching for the location marked A17. This location was situated in an industrial ruin area, sparsely populated and with complex terrain, undoubtedly a good place to hide, but at the same time, it also meant that it would be the best place for the enemy to ambush.

Seeing this, driver Xiao Wang offered, "Captain, let me drive. I'm quite familiar with this area, so I can try to find a shortcut."
“Okay,” Zhao De nodded in agreement, “You focus on driving, we’ll handle the rest.”
Xiao Wang started the car in response, and the sound of the wheels rolling over the broken asphalt made everyone's heartbeats quicken again. They drove through several narrow alleys and turned into an area of abandoned factories. There were almost no lights here, and only a few faint flames occasionally flashed, indicating that people had once lived here.
Just then, a figure darted out of the darkness, startling everyone. "Who is it!" The highly alert Zhao De reacted immediately, his hand already gripping his gun.
"Don't shoot!" The man's voice was urgent, clearly he was also nervous, but he immediately added, "I'm here to meet you!"
"A backup?" Zhao De frowned slightly, sizing up the other person. In the dim moonlight, he could see that it was a young man wearing tattered work clothes, his face covered in dirt, with only his eyes showing.
Seeing their continued wariness, the man who claimed to be the contact seemed a little anxious: "Really, my name is Chen Ming. I was sent by the underground transportation station to help you move. Time is of the essence, we'd better leave here quickly."
Considering the critical situation and the fact that the other side had not shown any hostility, Zhao De decided to give it a try. He signaled to his team members to relax their guard slightly, "Alright, Chen Ming, please lead the way."
And so, the two cars, carrying valuable documents and the lives of the group, set off again under Chen's leadership. Along the way, they passed many seemingly unrelated but meticulously planned turning points—all of which indicated that this suddenly appearing friend was not bluffing, but was indeed a highly trained professional.
