Tang Ling had brought with him elite guards and special forces, so there were not many of them. Therefore, Tang Ling had also informed his political commissar to bring his men to secretly hide around the forest and completely seal it off.
When Tang Ling rushed to Lu City, it was 8:10 pm. After entering Lu City and rushing to Anping, it would still take about an hour.
The troops switched off their lights at 9:00 pm. The first three times, those terrorist organizations had attacked the soldiers’ dormitories half an hour to an hour after the lights were switched off.
Tang Ling thought, although time was tight, as long as there was no delay, it would still be on time.
But sometimes, the more you were afraid of something, the more likely it was to happen.
When they were about 20 minutes away from Anping, the road ahead was blocked. It was a funeral service. They stopped the coffin in the middle of the road and even built a shed on the road.
The traffic was so heavy that they could not even push a bicycle through, let alone their car.
“What’s going on?” Captain Meng of the special forces looked at the situation in front of him with a stunned expression.
Everyone was also a little dumbfounded.
Tang Ling’s eyes instantly darkened. “Is there another way?”
This family was obviously blocking the road on purpose. They were clearly causing trouble, so it would not be that easy to get them to give way.
“There are, but it’s a bit far. It’ll take at least another half an hour. I’m afraid we won’t make it in time.” Captain Meng’s expression became more solemn. Their soldiers were in danger now, and they were more anxious than anyone else.
“I’ll get them to dismantle it. If they don’t, I’ll force them to dismantle it.” The captain of the elite guards directly jumped out of the car.
However, as soon as he walked over, the villagers who were kneeling or sitting suddenly stood up with tools like sickles and hoes in their hands.
“If you want to go through, you’ll have to run over us.” A few of them even laid down in the middle of the road.
“If you dare to come over, I’ll blow up the road.” One of them stood in the middle of the road with explosives in his hands.
“Stand down.” Tang Ling’s eyes narrowed as he gave the order. Under such circumstances, who knew how much time would be wasted.
These were all commoners. It was impossible for them to use weapons. However, these commoners were all holding tools in their hands. Forcefully evacuating them would also take time. That time would be an unknown factor and there might even be lives lost.
The others naturally understood this as well. Although they were all anxious, they had no other choice. Right now the best option, was to take the alternate route, even if they would have to delay for another half an hour or so.
Everyone did not say anything along the way, and the atmosphere became even heavier. Fortunately, the rest of the journey went smoothly, and they did not encounter any more trouble. However, it was already half past nine when they arrived at Anping.
Tang Ling ordered the car to be parked at a hidden place outside. Then, he led his men to sneak in.
After sneaking in, everyone realized that there were no defenses and nobody was on guard.
“Gu Zhenglian that bastard.” Even the usually gentle and elegant Tang Ling could not help but curse fiercely.
“Quick, go to the soldiers’ dormitory.” Tang Ling only hoped that the terrorist organization had not taken action yet and they still had time to stop everything.
Everyone rushed to the soldiers’ dormitories as fast as they could. There was not the slightest bit of alertness in the troops, so no one noticed them. There were a few people standing guard, but they were all very casual, like decorations.
“There’s movement, they’re on the move.”
