Mo Ming, along with the retired Special Forces under Huang Siye, was rushing to the battlefield, expecting to arrive in twenty minutes.
"Damn it, I still can't get through!"
Mo Ming had dialed Liufeng's number over a dozen times without success. He immediately called other people, but the result was the same.
"Maybe they're in combat and can't hear the phone," someone said.
At that moment, Mo Ming's phone rang. Looking at the number, he saw it was Fu Meng calling, not Liufeng or anyone else.
"Hello, Uncle, what's up?"
"You better tell me what's going on right now! Nanhua City is turning into a battlefield, with artillery fire everywhere! The public's emotions are extremely unstable, and I need you to give me an explanation!"
Fu Meng's voice carried a hint of anger. He could usually suppress small issues, but this situation was too big for him to handle.
After this incident, he would definitely lose his position as mayor. However, he wasn't concerned about his position; he wanted a reasonable explanation from Mo Ming.
"I don't understand how things escalated to this point. All I know is that those people have gone insane; they will stop at nothing to achieve their goals!" Mo Ming said with a bitter smile.
"What goals?"
"Honestly, I'm not sure what their ultimate goal is. It might be for Eternal Life or their delusions of world domination—perhaps both. But right now, their target is the Spirit Stone in my possession! It's something beyond common knowledge, and no matter what, I won't let them have it!" Mo Ming's voice was filled with determination.
"I'm a bit confused by what you're saying. Once this is over, I need you to explain everything properly. I have a lot on my plate right now and can't talk for long..."
Fearing that Fu Meng would hang up directly, Mo Ming quickly interrupted him: "Uncle, please tell me the current situation."
"It's all messed up! The area around Hillside Mansion by the coast has turned into a battlefield. The enemy has about several thousand people surrounding it; we can't break through! Their goal seems to be Hillside Mansion!"
"Alright, I understand. Once this is over, I'll give you an explanation!" Mo Ming hung up and told the driver, "The enemy has blocked the road. Even if we want to break through, it's going to be troublesome. Therefore, we must take another route to provide effective support."
"But the other side has already blocked the road. What path can we take?" The man named Liu Hong said with a bitter smile. "Since they are determined to obstruct us, every route will be blocked, and we won't be able to get through."
"Of course there is a way! We can take the underground route! We'll go through the sewer, bypass the enemy's defenses, and quickly provide support!" Mo Ming's eyes sparkled with determination.
In fact, many people could think of using the sewer to bypass the defenses; Reed's special forces had done just that. Whether one could come up with this idea depended on their composure and attention to detail in a crisis.
"Exactly! The sewer is definitely unguarded. Zhang Xin, hurry to the nearest sewer; we’ll go through it!" Liu Hong clapped his hands in excitement and immediately instructed the driver.
Another person who thought of this method was Poisonous Madness. After struggling for so long without breaking through the enemy's defenses, he led a team of fifty people through the sewer.
Now, Poisonous Madness and his team had successfully entered an area not far from Half Mountain.
"The enemy's firepower is so fierce; I estimate that Liufeng won't be able to hold out much longer. We need to attack from behind and give them a breather!" Poisonous Madness said to those behind him.
"We may only have fifty people, but as long as we concentrate our firepower, we can buy them some time!" The Crocodile nodded in agreement.
The others behind him nodded without fear; most of them were seasoned veterans known as "Yihun" Old Members, naturally brave and forward-moving. The new members also maintained a fearless attitude and were eager for battle.
With over fifty people moving swiftly, they opened fire when they were about thirty meters from the enemy.
Rat-a-tat-tat!
Bullets rained down on the enemy like a storm, and those caught off guard immediately fell victim to the gunfire.
While firing, Poisonous Madness and his team also threw grenades, blowing several enemies away.
The enemy was scattered, so the impact of the attack was not very significant; they managed to take down around thirty or forty enemies. Soon after, the enemy reacted and redirected some of their fire towards Poisonous Madness and his team.
Due to the close distance, the firefight was extremely intense, with bullets flying back and forth at high speed through the air.
In this life-and-death struggle, several brothers from Yihun unfortunately fell victim to gunfire, including new members Old Members.
A new member who sacrificed himself was Corpse Man!
He was too reckless, choosing not to take cover and instead charging straight at the enemy. Doing this amidst such a barrage of bullets was clearly a death wish!
In short, Corpse Man's death was self-inflicted; he overestimated himself and underestimated the enemy!
"Damn it, Corpse Man, you idiot! I haven't even taken you down yet, and now you're dead!" The members who joined around the same time as Corpse Man felt an indescribable pain, but their strong hearts only allowed them to express their emotions this way.
"Brothers, this is a battlefield, not a fighting arena. Here, agility means nothing because no one can outrun a bullet!" Poisonous Madness observed Corpse Man's fate and couldn't help but remind the inexperienced new members.
In the jungle of bullets, only the cunning can survive. Cunning is not a derogatory term; it is a compliment because only by staying alive can you have the chance to take down the enemy!
With Poisonous Madness's reinforcements, the pressure on Liufeng and the others eased considerably.
"Hehe, it seems our reinforcements have arrived!" Shadow Demon chuckled.
"Don't celebrate too early. From what I see, only part of our people have arrived. I suspect the enemy's reinforcements are also on their way. If they block us from behind later, then we will be in danger!" Blood Demon shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Out of one hundred and eight members of the Undead Celestial Executioner, sixty-two had already fallen in battle. Even the member ranked thirteenth had met his end at gunpoint.
Now, only about eighty people could still fight on the hillside, and more than half of them were injured. Even Shadow Demon had been shot; there were two bullet wounds on his right arm!
If Poisonous Madness and the others had arrived any later, the enemy would have truly charged in; Liufeng and his group were running low on ammunition!
Braided Black Man had mobilized over four hundred people to come to the foot of the hill. Fortunately, their position was not behind Poisonous Madness and the others; otherwise, it would have been disastrous!
"Damn it, those bastards' reinforcements have arrived too, and they outnumber us! How long can we hold out?" Crocodile cursed as he looked at the mass of dark figures.
"Who cares how many people they bring? If we can hold out for one more minute, that's one more minute! Besides, I'm not dying; as long as I kill enough of them, that's all that matters!" Poisonous Madness found an opening and took aim with his rifle, unleashing a barrage before quickly taking cover again.
"Let's wipe out those scum!"
"Even if I die, I will take a few down with me. What is there to be afraid of?"
No one wants to die, but now they have no way out; they can only hold their ground and wait for rescue!
From the high building, Lord watched the situation through a telescope. When he saw Poisonous Madness and others arrive on the battlefield like reinforcements from the heavens, he understood the flaws in his plan.
"They actually went through the sewer; I underestimated their intelligence. But what can I do? This time, I will spare no expense to reclaim the Spirit Stone!" Lord laughed maniacally and then turned to disappear from the high building.
Mo Ming and others also rushed to the battlefield from the sewer, positioning themselves to the left of Poisonous Madness.
"Brothers, the boss has brought people!"
Seeing that it was Mo Ming who had arrived, Crocodile couldn't help but feel delighted, as if after walking in the rain for a long time, suddenly finding that the sky had cleared.
With Mo Ming's arrival, the pressure on Poisonous Madness and others lightened considerably. Although they couldn't turn the tide of battle, at least their firepower wouldn't fall short against the enemy.
"What are you all doing here? Liufeng said you were intercepted!" Mo Ming said as he approached Poisonous Madness and Crocodile.
"Like you, the boss said it would take too long to break through, so he took us through the sewer," Crocodile replied with some admiration.
This was a rare moment; Crocodile actually admired Poisonous Madness's cleverness. It was as if the sun had risen in the west.
"Alright, enough chit-chat. Let's deal with the enemy first!" Mo Ming wasn't in the mood for small talk and immediately assessed the situation.
The enemy had about six hundred people scattered around; two hundred were attacking the mountain while four hundred were engaged in a firefight with them.
From this perspective, it seemed that the enemy couldn't do much to them for now. However, the situation over at Liufeng didn't look optimistic; at this rate, half of the mountain would likely be captured.
"Toxic Jar, when will the others arrive?" Mo Ming asked.
"I don't know either. I was with Yun Song at that time; he told me to come in first while he tried to break through with his team!" Poisonous Madness replied with a bitter smile. "Given their firepower, it seems unlikely they will make it in less than half an hour."
"No, there's no time left. We have to make a push; otherwise, Liu Feng and the others won't be able to hold on," Mo Ming shook his head.
"Alright, then what do you plan to do?" Poisonous Madness nodded.
"You take the brothers back and help Ah Yun break through from behind. I'll hold the front here. Remember, we don't have much time; we need to be quick!" Mo Ming said seriously.
This was the only option they had. Mo Ming was well aware of the situation on the mountainside; if they didn't make this push, Liu Feng and the others would surely not be able to hold out.
"Okay, boss, we'll head back now. Give us ten minutes, and we'll definitely make it back!" Poisonous Madness understood the urgency of the situation and immediately nodded. He turned to the brothers and said, "Brothers who followed me just now, move quickly!"
With that, Poisonous Madness led a group of brothers swiftly back, knowing that if they could help He Yunsong's group break through, all crises would be resolved!
"Alright, brothers, now it's up to our skills. We must hold on!" Mo Ming steadied himself and began sweeping forward with his rifle.
The group also worked hard to advance, bullets flying like a torrential rain across the battlefield.
