Chapter 479 The Voice Remains Calm
As Su Ming continued to advance, he felt an increasing heaviness in the air around him, as if every brick and stone, every street, was silently watching him. The situation before him grew increasingly complex; the enemy had clearly begun a counterattack. Every step he took was like treading on the edge of a knife; the slightest misstep could lead to disaster.
However, just as he entered a dark alley, Zheng Yaoxian's voice came from the headset again: "Su Ming, go southeast. There is a secret passage there that can lead you to a safe area."
Su Ming's heart skipped a beat. Zheng Yaoxian's judgments were always so accurate, as if he could foresee the future. Without hesitation, Su Ming immediately ran in the indicated direction. Every conversation with Zheng Yaoxian was like a life-or-death game, and every decision he made would directly affect the success or failure of the mission.
However, just as he was about to approach the passage, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind him. Su Ming instantly became alert and turned to look. Sure enough, several enemies in black were rapidly approaching. Their faces were serious, and their eyes revealed a murderous intent that could not be ignored.
"Damn it!" Su Ming cursed in his heart and quickened his pace.
The enemy had obviously sensed his presence and quickly surrounded him. Su Ming didn't have time to think. He quickly threw a flash bomb, and in the brief moment of light, he turned abruptly and rushed towards the passage.
However, the enemy's reaction was incredibly fast. As soon as the flashbang exploded, they quickly regained their sight and began to pursue him relentlessly. Su Ming's heartbeat accelerated, and adrenaline surged through his body like a torrent. He knew he had no way out and could only fight with all his might.
At this moment, Zheng Yaoxian's voice came again in the headset: "Su Ming, there is a narrow alley on the left. Go through it quickly. There is a hidden exit there."
Su Ming, without a moment's hesitation, immediately turned and rushed towards the alleyway on the left. The enemy followed closely behind him, but they had clearly underestimated Su Ming's reaction speed and decision-making ability. Drawing on years of training and experience, Su Ming swiftly navigated the narrow alleyway, ultimately reaching a hidden exit.
He took a deep breath and looked back. The enemy had completely lost track of him. Although he was temporarily out of danger, he knew that the pursuit was far from over. Su Ming quickly entered the designated safe house, closed his eyes, and waited for further instructions from Zheng Yaoxian.
However, Zheng Yaoxian's voice did not come as expected. Su Ming felt a sense of unease. He knew that Zheng Yaoxian's silence meant a change in the situation, and perhaps a bigger trap was waiting for him.
At this moment, Zheng Yaoxian's voice finally came through the headset, still calm and steady: "Su Ming, the situation has changed. The enemy has begun to counterattack. You must change your plan immediately and head to another location."
Su Ming clenched his fists, but his heart was already prepared. He understood that what he faced wasn't just a simple action, but a battle that depended on the fate of the nation. He had to be more cautious and decisive with every step. And in this game, Zheng Yaoxian was undoubtedly his strongest support.
Su Ming stood in the safe house, surrounded by darkness, the only light coming from a dim desk lamp. The air was heavy and damp, with a musty smell, as if no one had been here for a long time. A pile of worn-out debris lay in the corner, and a few unopened envelopes lay scattered on the floor, like secrets that could be blown away by the wind at any moment. Su Ming stood by the window, gazing at the street outside, his mind in a turmoil.
He knew there was no turning back. Every step was fraught with uncertainty and danger, and every decision could mean the difference between life and death. Zheng Yaoxian's instructions had temporarily freed him from the enemy's pursuit, but they also made him realize that things were far from simple. The secret Zheng Yaoxian held was the key to all this.
"What are you hiding?" Su Ming muttered to himself, his gaze fixed on the darkness outside the window. He had been around Zheng Yaoxian long enough to know that he never easily revealed his true thoughts. Every move he made was like a carefully choreographed chess game, and he was always the pawn being pushed.
But today was different. He could sense a subtle shift in Zheng Yaoxian's demeanor. The depth beneath his composure seemed to tell him that Zheng Yaoxian held a secret he hadn't revealed. And this secret could very well be the key to changing the entire situation.
"Zheng Yaoxian, what on earth are you playing at?" Su Ming felt an inexplicable anxiety rising in his heart. He couldn't understand why Zheng Yaoxian didn't offer more explanations at this critical moment, but simply kept instructing him to move forward and evade, yet he still refused to reveal the hidden truth.
"You won't let me be your puppet forever, will you?" he muttered to himself, clenching his fists tightly. A feeling of powerlessness washed over him like a tide, nearly suffocating him. Whenever he tried to get closer to the secret, Zheng Yaoxian would skillfully push him away, with an irrefutable calmness and rationality.
"If I knew the truth, would... would I no longer be a tool in your eyes?" He smiled self-deprecatingly, but an indescribable emotion rose in his heart.
Suddenly, Zheng Yaoxian's voice came from the headset, breaking Su Ming's meditation: "Su Ming, the situation has changed. The enemy has begun to deploy a new operation. You must go to the new target location immediately."
Su Ming didn't respond immediately. He knew Zheng Yaoxian never readily revealed details, and this time was no exception. Although he harbored countless questions, he knew he had no choice. As long as the mission wasn't completed, he had no right to question Zheng Yaoxian's arrangements.
He took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and pressed the button on his headset: "Understood, Brother Zheng."
"Remember, don't make the same mistake as last time." Zheng Yaoxian's voice remained calm, but the implicit warning in it made Su Ming feel a chill.
"I know," Su Ming whispered, his mind reeling from the mistake he'd made in his last operation—the crucial moment that had nearly exposed his identity. Each failure felt like a questioning of his own abilities, while Zheng Yaoxian's warnings felt like an invisible sword, constantly hanging over his head.
He quickly gathered his gear and checked his pistol and other weapons. Every mission brought new risks and challenges, and he had to face them fearlessly.
As Su Ming left the safe house, doubts still lingered in his heart. Zheng Yaoxian's secret seemed like an invisible shackle, firmly locking everything he had. He had no choice but to keep moving forward until the mission was accomplished and the truth was revealed.
