Chapter 323 A Battle to the Death! (5K+ views, please vote!)
Around midnight, Xu Ge and Wan Xiaofei brought back news that the entire city had lost power and was under military blockade.

"Approximately how many people are in the army?" Thor asked.

Xu Ge: "I don't know, but from what I've seen, there are no fewer than five thousand people."

The atmosphere at the scene immediately became serious.

Thor gestured for Wu Xiaoyong to open the electronic map, and after looking at it for a while, he asked, "It's about 20 kilometers from here to the Central Hospital. Have you two found a safe route into the city?"

"Don't worry, I can lead everyone there without being discovered by the enemy!" Xu Ge said immediately.

Thor nodded: "Let's not delay, let's get into the city immediately!"

"Yes!"

The eight people set off immediately.

Although the army sealed off the city, it only guarded the roads and entrances to and from the city; it did not actually surround the entire city.

It was nighttime, and with the entire city without power, this was arguably the perfect opportunity for Xu Ge to shine.

He used all his senses along the way, leading his team into the city and heading straight for the central hospital.

Residents were all required to stay at home, so those who were out and about were mostly military personnel.

Xu Ge didn't even need the wartime mode reminder; his superior hearing and eyesight alone were enough to ensure that he and his group remained undetected.

Halfway there, Xu Ge gradually slowed down.

"What's wrong?" Thor asked in a low voice.

Xu Ge gestured for everyone to be quiet, then lay down and listened intently with his ear pressed to the ground for a while before saying in a deep voice, "I was wondering why things were getting weirder as we walked. It turns out that most of the army in the city is converging on one place!"

Thor's expression changed: "Central Hospital?"

"Ok!"

"Go! Speed ​​up!" Thor immediately ordered.

What Xu Ge just said indicates two things: first, the wet nurses and those people are very likely still in the central hospital; second, they are in immediate danger!
"We can't keep running like this; those troops are all in cars, they can't keep up!"

As they passed an open-air parking lot, Xu Ge stopped and suggested, "Let's get a car too, I'll keep watch from up ahead."

Thor hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

"Clips, go!"

"it is good!"

A moment later, the roar of an engine was heard, and Jiazi drove out in a 7-seater SUV, and everyone immediately squeezed in.

Xu Ge took the electronic map and, combining it with what he had heard earlier, quickly marked a route on the map: "Those troops came from these roads. Let's take this route and go around them. It would be best to get there ahead of time."

"no problem!"

With a slam of the accelerator, the off-road vehicle, without its headlights on, sped off.

Twenty minutes later, Xu Ge pointed to the entrance of the underground parking garage of a nearby building: "Drive in, don't go any further!"

As soon as the SUV turned in, two military vehicles rumbled past.

"The hospital is just 700 meters away, everyone get out of the car!" Thor immediately began to deploy the plan. "Split into two groups. Dogbao will lead one group to find the sewers and see if we can get directly into the hospital. I'll lead the other group on the surface. We'll move at the same time!"

"Yes!"

Wan Xiaofei, Li Dongshui, and Ao Xiang followed Xu Ge into the underground parking garage, while the others followed Thor outwards.

"Goubao, there's a manhole cover here!" Wan Xiaofei was the first to spot a sewer entrance.

Xu Ge approached, shook his head without even looking, and said, "This isn't right. If we go in, we won't get to the hospital."

Li Dongshui asked curiously, "How did you know?"

Xu Ge: "Can't you smell it? The smell under this manhole cover is awful!"

Li Dongshui: ...

"Of course it stinks! No wonder the sewers smell!"

“But this clearly leads to a residential area,” Xu Ge explained. “The sewers leading to the hospital would have a mixed smell of disinfectant and medicine. Let’s keep looking!”

The other three sniffed, but found they couldn't smell anything.

However, everyone was already used to Xu Ge's abnormal sense of smell, so they didn't say much and dispersed to look for manhole covers.

Five minutes later.

"Yes, that's it!" Xu Ge pointed to a square manhole cover at the base of the wall and said, "Let's go down!"

The four men moved the manhole cover and jumped in without saying a word.

"Damn, the compass here isn't working properly!" Ao Xiang shook the multi-functional military watch on his wrist.

Xu Ge didn't turn around: "No need for that, just follow me, I can find the hospital!"

Wow!
The four began to wad through the puddles underground, their footsteps echoing through the empty pipes.

After walking a few hundred meters, Xu Ge, who was at the front, stopped. A barbed wire fence appeared in front of him.

Upon arrival, the others also smelled a strong medicinal odor, indicating that they were nearing the hospital.

"Who brought pliers?"

"I come!"

Ao Xiang drew his military dagger, wrapped the rope around the gap in the wire mesh and then around the hilt. He then quickly spun the wire mesh with both hands, and the strong friction soon caused it to deform.

Snapped!
A cracking sound was heard, and the connection between the wire and the pipe wall broke.

"Come on, let's kick together!"

Ao Xiang gave a shout, and the four of them struggled to lift their military boots, kicking down the barbed wire fence with a few thuds, and continued forward.

"Where are we now? Shouldn't we find somewhere to go up..."

"Shh! Don't talk yet!"

Xu Ge suddenly stopped, looked up, and asked in surprise, "Why are there so many people up here?"

The other three also held their breath and listened carefully, and they could indeed vaguely hear some noise.

"Could it be that the army has already arrived?" Wan Xiaofei asked.

Xu Ge shook his head: "These people up there seem to be crammed together; they don't look like an army..."

Bang bang bang!
Da da da!
Suddenly, a muffled gunshot rang out overhead.

The next moment, Xu Ge heard a flurry of hurried footsteps and screams from the crowd.

"Damn! Where was that shot fired?"

"Hurry up and go up!"

"go!"

Xu Ge followed the scent and led the way, soon arriving at a location where the smell of medicine was strongest: "This should be inside the hospital. Who wants to go up first?"

"I'll go first!" Li Dongshui covered her nose and immediately started climbing the ladder.

He couldn't stand the smell down there anymore.

"Be careful!" Xu Ge helped Li Dongshui support her thighs from below, allowing her to use the leverage to lift the cover above.

Bang!

After lifting the board, Li Dongshui crawled out of the passage and immediately squatted down to observe his surroundings with his gun.

This appears to be an indoor space. In front of him is a stainless steel pool, and the drainpipe connects to the spot where he just climbed up.

Looking around, the room was dimly lit, and rows of cabinets could be vaguely seen standing against the wall, constantly emitting cold air, making the temperature in the room significantly lower than outside.

Li Dongshui then shifted her gaze, preparing to turn around and take a look behind her.

Without warning, he came face to face with an old man with white hair who was lying on an iron bed but whose upper body was suspended in mid-air.

"Wow!"

Li Dongshui was jolted awake, let out a strange cry, and instinctively swung the butt of his gun and smashed it hard.

Snapped!
The man was hit on the head with the butt of his rifle and fell to the ground with a thud, motionless.

"What happened?"

Xu Ge was the second to crawl up, and immediately pointed his gun at Li Dongshui's back.

Li Dongshui's face turned ashen: "Damn it, that scared me to death!"

Xu Ge's night vision was naturally much better than Li Dongshui's, and he immediately figured out where they were. He glanced at the naked corpse on the ground and asked in confusion, "White Legs, did you just do something to the corpse?"

"What the hell kind of place did you bring? What the hell did you do here, a morgue?" Li Dongshui was still in shock and immediately started cursing.

Xu Ge: ...

He was just judging by the intensity of the smell and didn't expect to end up here.

Snapped!Snapped!
After Wan Xiaofei and Ao Xiang came up, they immediately turned on their flashlights. Ao Xiang looked at them strangely and asked, "What are you two doing? Don't you know how to turn on your flashlights?"

Li Dongshui: ...

He forgot.

"Hmm, why does this person look so familiar?"

Wan Xiaofei shone the light on the corpse on the ground, leaned closer, and muttered to himself, "Damn, how come the stomach was cut open? And sewn up... Holy crap! Isn't that Ye Haiya?" Upon hearing this, the others immediately moved over, shining four flashlights on the corpse's face.

Ao Xiang exclaimed in surprise, "It really is!"

In the news video I saw before, at the end, to commemorate the two murdered leaders, a full minute was given to show photos, so everyone recognized that the body was that of Yahya, the former president of Stan.

"Why is he lying here? It looks like he's been dissected."

"An autopsy should be performed!"

Xu Ge stood up, looked at the iron bed, and sure enough, found the autopsy report hanging at the head of the bed. He immediately took it.

"Shepherd, can you translate what's written in the report?"

"it is good!"

Wan Xiaofei quickly flipped through the document with a flashlight, saying as he read, "Azoospermia, heart failure, cerebral thrombosis... The beginning is his medical history, and the end is the analysis of the cause of death... Holy crap! He died of poisoning!"

"Huh? Poisoned? What kind of poison?" Li Dongshui and Ao Xiang were quite surprised.

Wan Xiaofei: "Neurotoxin! Administered externally!"

"Wait a minute, you just said that Yehya suffered from azoospermia before his death?" Xu Ge suddenly asked.

Xu Ge's three teammates all looked at him strangely, and Li Dongshui couldn't help but complain, "Seriously, why the hell are you paying attention to this?"

"What do you know!" Xu Ge looked at Wan Xiaofei. "Take another look at what's written on it. How long is the medical history?"

Seeing Xu Ge's serious expression, Wan Xiaofei immediately flipped back to the previous page and said, "It says here that he had this disease forty years ago."

"So that's how it is!" Xu Ge immediately thought of Gan Lan and that boy.

"Stop with all that. Now that you're in, hurry up and find someone!" Li Dongshui urged.

Xu Ge sniffed, his eyes lighting up: "I smell the wet nurse! Come on, follow me!"

The morgue was in the basement. The four of them pushed open the door and found that there were still lights on in the corridor outside, which must have been generated by the hospital's own generator.

The commotion outside persisted, with occasional gunshots.

The four of them didn't know what was going on, but it seemed that the hospital hadn't been invaded, as they hadn't seen any signs of fighting yet.

Upon reaching the first floor, Xu Ge immediately heard footsteps and voices ahead. He glanced at his token, saw that the wartime mode had not been triggered, and then pushed open the door and went out.

There were more than a dozen figures standing in the hall. One of them, whose left hand was wrapped in bandages, was the first to hear the noise and instinctively reached for his gun.

"Number Two, it's me!" Xu Ge quickly said.

. . .

. . .

In the ward on the 18th floor, Niu Sanxian and Beina were standing by the window looking down through the curtains.

Bang bang bang!
Several gunshots rang out.

"what!"

Bella gasped in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Buto asked hurriedly from her hospital bed.

Niu Sanxian's face was extremely grim: "Damn it! These people actually fired at civilians!"

"They actually dared to fire?!"

Bhutto's face was ashen. "It seems they won't let anyone in the hospital off the hook!"

"These soldiers are herding the civilians aside!" Niu San watched for a while, then turned around. "Nana, go and tell the nanny to prepare for battle!"

"Huh? Oh! Okay!"

Bella was pale and looked quite frightened.

Bhutto looked at Niu Sanxian: "Xiao Niu, you said before that the instigator of this coup might be Hazard, right?"

Niu San nodded first: "You probably guessed it, I've been investigating him for a while now, and I've discovered that his network of connections actually extends throughout the military and political circles of the entire Stan country. If anyone has that much power to blockade a city, then it's almost certainly him!"

"No wonder everyone at the airborne base betrayed me, it was him! What is he trying to do? We've been married for 20 years, and only now do I realize I don't know him at all!"

Bhuto muttered to herself, then gave a bitter laugh, "If it's him, then that's good. At least Nana won't be in danger."

Niu San didn't speak first; he didn't want to provoke the other party at this moment.

When he parted ways with Rama, Rama told him that all the jobs the assassins were to do were to assassinate Bhutto while leaving no survivors.

There was no mention of letting any one person off the hook.

“Little calf, hand me over!” Buto suddenly said.

Niu San was taken aback: "What do you mean by that?"

“These soldiers could have easily stormed in, but since they didn’t, and instead chose to send the assassin, it shows that he still has some principles.”

Bhutto looked at Niu Sanxian, "Hand me over. I know what he wants, and I'll give him whatever he wants. I never imagined that in his eyes, power would be more important than family..."

"No, you're wrong, Madame Bhutto!"

Xu Ge suddenly pushed the door open and came in, saying, "Handing you over will serve no purpose."

"Who are you?" Butto was about to question a stranger who had entered when she noticed the wet nurse and several others following behind.

"Uncle! Hahaha! I knew you guys would come to rescue us!"

Niu Sanxian looked delighted and was about to rush over to hug Xu Ge when he covered his mouth and nose as he got close. "Damn! What's that smell on you?!"

"Long time no see, San'er!"

Xu Ge laughed too, "The outside was sealed off, so I crawled in through the sewers."

"Uncle?"

Bhutto immediately realized that Xu Ge was also a member of the Chinese military, and looked at him, asking, "Young soldier, why did you just say that handing me over would be of no use?"

Xu Ge: "Because for Hazard, not having you is the most important thing!"

"What do you mean?"

"impossible!"

Bhuto and Bena spoke in unison, Bena becoming visibly agitated, "You're talking nonsense! My father loves my mother and me the most! He would never hurt us!"

Xu Ge sighed inwardly and said in a deep voice, "Azar has become the interim president and commander-in-chief of the armed forces of Stan. The presidential palace has also issued an obituary to the world. Prime Minister Bhutto, you and Yahya were assassinated this afternoon. Moreover, the first thing Azar did after taking office was to declare war on the Poisonous Kingdom!"

The entire ward was completely silent.

Bena stared in disbelief, while Buto stared blankly at the ceiling.

Xu Ge glanced at Niu Sanxian, who was equally shocked, and gestured for him to come out with him.

Bhutto had served as prime minister with real power for so long, and Xu Ge believed that she could definitely understand the whole situation from what he had just said. He wanted to give the poor mother and daughter some time to process this bad news.

Yes, it is one of the most tragic things in the world for one's own father and husband to want to kill them.

The group walked into the corridor, and everyone's expressions were complicated.

Li Dongshui had already taken up a high sniping position, while Wan Xiaofei and Ao Xiang went down to the first floor to meet up with Thor and his three companions.

Seeing that all six members of the guard team had arrived, Xu Ge looked at the nanny and said, "Sister Qing, after Thor arrives, shall we retreat directly through the sewers?"

Everyone, including Niu Sanxian, was stunned. The nanny frowned: "Withdraw? What do you mean?"

Xu Ge: "It means exactly what it says, we're all leaving together!"

He deliberately emphasized the word "us".

Niu Sanxian shoved Xu Ge aside, saying incredulously, "Ge Bao, what do you mean? Are you going to abandon everyone else in this hospital?"

"Our mission here is to take you back!" Xu Ge did not give a clear answer, but he had already made his stance clear.

The nanny immediately said seriously, "But our mission is to protect Bhuto!"

“Sister Qing, their country of Stan is in complete chaos right now, it has nothing to do with us! You don’t understand Azar, he is now the president, and since Bhutto’s obituary has already been issued, Azar will definitely do everything he can to make this happen.”

Xu Ge said in a deep voice, "The reason they sent assassins first is because the obituary stated that Bhutto was assassinated. But if they really push them too far, do you believe that they could do anything, not just to the people in the hospital, but to everyone in the entire city? You just saw how the army treated the civilians. Staying here would only be a pointless sacrifice!"

"Then let me ask you, when you came here, did you receive any orders from the Wolf King or the military to abandon this security mission?"

"No, but the situation was special at the time. You were out of contact, and no one knew what was happening inside. The Wolf King's order was to bring you home..."

"Since there isn't one, then I'll continue with the mission!"

The nanny interrupted, "My protected targets have never been harmed. So what if assassins come? I'll still lead them out to fight my way out!"

"Sister Qing, you son of a bitch..."

"Stop arguing! Nobody's leaving!"

Suddenly, Thor's voice came from the corridor.

The other person walked over with a serious expression, first exchanging glances with the nanny, and after seeing the nanny shake her head slightly, took a deep breath:

"The army has retreated to a position two kilometers outside the perimeter. The assassins have already set off. It's too late to leave now. Prepare for a fight to the death!"

In a nearby ward, Buto, who had gotten out of bed at some point, stood by the door with Bena's help and held her daughter's hand tightly.

"Nana, you're absolutely right. Mr. Qing truly is the world's top bodyguard!"
