Chapter 54: Breaking Out of the Cage

  Dong Li Mao dropped the iron, grabbed Sanada's chin with his hand to see if he was still breathing. Seeing that although his eyes were closed, the nostrils scorched by the iron were still puffing out air, he spat a mouthful of saliva on Sanada's face and turned around to take the clothes taken off from Bian Yi's body by Gou Hao.

  "Commander Lian, why don't you just kill this dog?" Gu Hao didn't understand why Dong Li Mao didn't kill Yamamoto.

  "Do you know what's more terrifying than death?" Dong Li Mao didn't answer, but instead asked back.

  "I don't know." Gou Hao shook his head and asked with a flicker in his eyes, "Is there anything more terrifying than death in this world?"

  "There's an old saying that it's better to die than to live, right? It means making someone suffer so much that living is more terrifying than death for them." Dong Li Mao put on his clothes, picked up the gun from the dead man's body and cocked it: "Let's go!"

  Gao shook his head, muttering to himself: "Living in pain is more terrifying than death... I think living is pretty good, not painful at all, and nothing to be afraid of..." Following behind Dong Li Mao, he touched the top of his head, where a big lump had swollen up: "Damn little devils, just you wait and see how Grandpa deals with you..."

  Li Yuanyuan found the publicly acknowledged ID of Matsubara Keiko on the table filled with torture devices, held the gun in both hands and was the last to leave the interrogation room.

  Several members of the resistance organization disguised as "Huang Xie Army" were locked in a dark room by plainclothes police in a business building, and their guns were taken away, saying they would be returned when they left. Without guns, everyone looked like they had lost their souls, sitting on the ground anxiously, watching time pass minute by minute, but there was no news from below, and several people began to fear that this time they would surely die.

  Dong Li Mao and Gou Hao were the first to walk out of the basement, in that house like a grocery store, looking out through the window.

  The lights in all four corners of the courtyard went out, and no "Huang Xie Army" was seen in the courtyard. Dong Li Mao then whispered to Li Yuanyuan who walked closer: "Sister, our people may have been put under house arrest. Let's get out first. At night, they only recognize clothes, not people. We must figure out where our people are, or it will cause unnecessary casualties."

  Li Yuyuan nodded and said: "Okay, I'll talk to them. You don't make a sound. As long as they don't intend to shoot, you'd better not take action."

  Dong Li instructed Gou Hao and the others: "You all stay here, if there's a fire outside, don't go out first, wait until I turn the car around to face the door, then you can get on from here." After finishing speaking, he stood up, walked to the door, nodded at Li Yuanyuan, and creaked open the door.

  Upon hearing the door sound, the light across suddenly lit up. Dong Li Mao stepped out of the doorway, bowed and stood aside, pretending to be very polite in inviting Li Yuanyuan out.

  Li Yuyuan quickly stepped out of the door, not walking towards the courtyard, but standing at the entrance and scanning around her with a loud voice in Burmese: "Where are my people? Why aren't they on guard here? Get out, all of you!"

  "Miss, we are here..." came out in Burmese from a house on the right.

  "Hurry up and get out here! We have an urgent mission waiting for us..." Li Yuanyuan shouted, then walked towards the house where the sound came from, with Dong Limao following closely behind her.

  "Miss, we can't get out! They took away our weapons and locked us in the house..."

  Li Yuyuan walked to the door of the house with a sound, kicked the locked door with one foot, turned around and asked Dong Li Mao behind her in Japanese: "What's going on? Your people actually locked up the people I brought! Don't you hurry up and let them open the door and return their weapons! Do you want my people to fight Myanmar resistance organization empty-handed?"

  "Hey......" Dong Li Mao put his feet together, imitating the Japanese devils, then waved his hand, still bowing his head and waist.

  At once, two men walked over from the opposite side, carrying several guns on their bodies. One of them opened the lock and the 'Royal Collaborators' inside came out one by one, each taking up their own weapons.

  Li Yuyuan pointed at the driver and commanded in Burmese, "Quickly turn the car around, everyone get on board! A bunch of useless people!" Then, facing Dong Li Mao, she switched to Japanese and said, "Major Yamada orders you to personally come with me to capture the leader of the resistance organization. Would you please follow us? You're more familiar with the roads in Yangon than we are."

  Dong Li Mao put his feet together and bowed his head: "Hey......"

  Li Yuyuan and the driver got into the cab, she whispered to the driver where to back up the trailer.

  Dong Li Mao was the first to jump onto the rear carriage, and several other 'Huang Xie Jun' also quickly boarded the truck.

  At this time, the lit lamp went out, and everything seemed to be going smoothly, with only Gao Hao and others getting on the bus.

  The driver backed the car up to the door of the house where Gao and his family were, stopped there, intentionally turned off the engine, then repeatedly started it again.

  Gao stood on the ground at the back of the car, first sending the wounded one by one onto the car. Just as he was about to get on the car, perhaps the noise of getting on the car was too loud, which attracted the attention of the sentry on the upper floor. The lights on this side of the car tail suddenly lit up and shone towards the car tail. Someone upstairs made a strange cry.

  When the light came on, Dong Li Mao knew something was wrong. As the people upstairs were about to shoot at the truck, Dong Li Mao's gun fired first, rat-a-tat... a burst of shots swept towards the light source, extinguishing the headlights and causing someone to fall from upstairs. Gu Hao took advantage of the opportunity to jump onto the truck.

  The truck driver started the car when the lights came on, Dong Li Mao's gun fired, he drove the car towards the two large iron gates that were coming in.

  All the lights in the courtyard lit up when the gunfire sounded, enveloping the truck in a strong light. There were people shooting at the truck from all directions of the house, and two government soldiers were shot dead by bullets that pierced through the canvas of the truck.

  Gu Hao and Dong Li Mao pulled up the rear door of the truck as cover, and the two crouched behind the rear door to counterattack.

  The truck crashed into the large iron gate for the first time and failed to knock it open, so it had to back up again.

  Dong Li Mao shot out two lanterns, killing three people on the upper floor. Gu Hao's marksmanship wasn't great, but he also managed to shoot out one lantern and kill two people. There was still one lantern left on the right side, which was relatively far away and at a difficult angle.

  Li Yuyuan picked up the driver's submachine gun, stuck it out of the car window, and in the few seconds when the truck was reversing and about to shift forward, she swept the remaining lamp with a burst of fire, "Rat-a-tat", and extinguished the last lamp.

  Another "Huang Ze Army" was shot down in the truck compartment. After all the lights went out, Dong Li Mao and Gou Hao Neng could see the muzzle flashes from the shooting on the upper floor, so they had a target to shoot at. They took out several firepower points one after another, but some people seemed to start running downstairs.

  The truck driver floored it this time, and the truck was like a raging lion trapped in a cage, its engine letting out an ear-piercing roar as it charged at the large iron gate. With a loud crash, it smashed open the two iron gates and sped onto the road outside.

  Dong Li Mao and Gou Hao each threw a hand grenade into the courtyard after their car crashed through the iron gate.

  According to the original plan, the truck drove to the end of the street on the left and dropped off Dong Li Mao and others. Then the truck continued to drive right, but Li Yuanyuan made an adjustment in time. The car drove directly to the left street and stopped in front of a brothel with Japanese characters on the lamp box.

  "After everyone gets off, you continue to drive forward until you reach a place where there is no one. Then you can leave." Li Yuanyuan reminded the driver after getting off the car. The driver nodded in response.

  The truck had just stopped in front of the brothel when the door immediately opened and two Burmese people ran out from inside to help those on the truck take down the injured.

  The people in the back of the car, including the surviving 'Huang Xie Army', all got off and quickly entered the gate of the brothel. The truck carrying the three dead bodies drove away quickly. Several beautifully dressed women came out of the yard, leaning lazily against the door.

  About four or five minutes later, several plainclothes men chased after them. Several women swarmed forward, laughing and teasing the plainclothes police officers.

  The sound of alarms and police sirens began to come from a distance.
