Chapter 516: Crisis Lifted - 2

It was not that the Phantom Lord was conceited and did not want to send anyone to look over the back of the mountain. It was just that even the most authoritative bomb disposal experts could hardly guarantee a safe passage through a large minefield.

Liu Mi looked at Li Nanli, the only expert in their team.

Fu Zhi took a flashlight and a dagger out of her first-aid kit. She took a look at her watch, and there were only 20 minutes left before the Phantom Lord would unleash an all-out attack on them.

She did not have much time left, so she ordered, “Everyone, move to the back of the mountain. We’re going to leave through the minefield.”

Leave through the minefield?

Everyone was stunned, as they could not believe what they had just heard.

Xiang Qian took a deep breath and said, “We’re not leaving! If you want to leave, you can just go ahead. Let me tell you something. Once a landmine in the minefield goes off, not only will the Phantom Lord learn what we’re doing, but there is no way I’ll let my brethren die in such a cowardly way. We…”

Swoosh!

Before he could finish speaking, Fu Zhi had pointed her dagger straight at Xiang Qian. Her face was grim, and her voice was bereft of any emotion. “The only reason I’ve been putting up with you this whole time is that we’re in the middle of a war right now. However, if I hear another word come out of your mouth, I won’t mind helping Li Nanli get rid of a member of the Shadow Corp who doesn’t even know how to follow orders.”

Xiang Qian was so intimidated that he swallowed a big gulp of saliva and took a step back.

Fu Zhi scanned the house and said, “Now, everyone is going to evacuate in an orderly fashion and leave through the minefield. Does anyone else have a problem with that?”

Well, they did have a big problem with that, but none of them dared step up, as they did not know what she would do with the dagger in her hand.

They all then turned to Gu Yanqi and said, “Say something, Young Master Gu! None of us know how to remove a landmine! Besides, it would make us look really bad if we got blown up by the landmines!”

“Let’s just stay here, Young Master Gu. Even if they attack, it won’t be easy for them considering our geographical location.”

“That’s right, Young Master Gu. Let’s just hold on for a little longer. I’m sure the reinforcements are on their way. Even the people of the Phantom Lord don’t have the guts to go to the back of the mountain, so why must we go there?”

None of them agreed to Fu Zhi’s suggestion. After all, they did not think a young girl like Fu Zhi knew how dangerous it would be to go through a minefield.

The vice-captain of the Shadow Corp looked at Fu Zhi. Compared to Xiang Qian, his attitude toward her was milder as he said, “Ms. Fu, we’ve already sent out a distress signal. I’m sure that someone is coming to save us, so why don’t we hold on for a little longer?”

Fu Zhi smirked when she heard what he had said. She took her jacket, shook her head, and replied, “How sure are you that someone has received your signal? Even if someone received it, when will they be arriving?

“How long do you guys think you can hold out against a team of professional mercenaries? Or do you still hope that someone will come to your rescue?”

She pulled the back door open and reminded them, “Don’t forget that you are in a foreign land. This is the back mountainside of the Lucky Cloud Pavilion. It’s not China, nor is it the realm the Li Family has a hand in.”
