After three helicopters of the terrorist team arrived at the scene above the ranch, Su Tianyu and Li Mingsheng were completely rescued.
The equipment of armed helicopters and small reconnaissance aircraft is completely different. One is responsible for reconnaissance and search, and the other is a killing machine specially built for war and small-scale combat. The attack capabilities of the two are completely not in the same order of magnitude.
The rotary machine gun, coordinated with the onboard artillery shells, destroyed the off-road convoy below, which was like a target, with great ease. Then the terrorist team members in the helicopter landed and quickly cleaned up the scene, killing more than ten people on the spot and arresting six or seven people.
After the terrorist team arrived at the scene, Su Tianyu no longer had to risk his life. He immediately rushed to Li Mingsheng's side and asked with concern: "Chief, are you okay? Come, I'll carry you!"
Li Mingsheng said nothing, but patted Su Tianyu's shoulder heavily, signaling him to take him to the plane.
Su Tianyu also got excited at this time. He ran all the way with Li Mingsheng on his back and came to the helicopter that had just landed.
A squad leader saluted Li Mingsheng and shouted, "Mayor, we have received an order from the headquarters to escort you back to the city."
Li Mingsheng was already exhausted, and he just forced himself to nod at the other party, and then Su Tianyu helped him into the cabin.
After the two boarded the plane, Li Mingsheng took two breaths before ordering, "Take him back alive and let your captain handle it. We'll leave first."
"yes!"
The officer nodded and entered the cabin, waving his hand and shouting, "Follow the original plan, return to the city."
With a sound of breaking through the air, the helicopter rose in altitude again and headed straight towards Longcheng.
On the way, Li Mingsheng didn't know whether he was tired or scared, but he didn't say a word and didn't call anyone. He just sat there quietly, turning his head to look at the sky outside the plane where the sun had just risen.
At the back of the cabin, Su Tianyu was not as serious as Li Mingsheng. He was using the medical supplies given to him by the team leader to treat his external injuries while observing the direction of the plane's movement.
During this period, Su Tianyu noticed several details: first, the direction of the helicopter's flight was not towards the urban area of Longcheng, but the suburbs; second, the plane was taking a detour the entire time, and the pilot turned off the searchlight, navigation light, and all equipment that could expose its position, and did not even fly with the two planes that took off behind.
All these details indicate one thing, that is, Li Mingsheng does not seem to be safe even on the plane. Jin Maohui's people are still trying their best to protect him, and the situation in the city is probably just as tense.
Sure enough, around six in the morning, the helicopter landed at a training ground in the suburbs of Longcheng. After Su Tianyu got off the plane, he glanced around and saw a sign hanging on the main building that read "Terrorist Special Operations Squadron Training Center."
The fact that Li Mingsheng did not return to the city immediately is enough to explain a lot of problems.
The struggle is not over yet, and the murderous intent has not completely disappeared.
Su Tianyu had just helped Li Mingsheng down from the plane when he saw about 20 to 30 people coming out of the main building. Most of them were middle-aged men, some wearing the uniforms of the terrorist forces, and some well-dressed and refined people in suits.
"Mayor, are you okay?" Jin Maohui was the first to come forward.
“Are you hurt?!”
"Oh, we were so worried!"
“…!”
A group of people surrounded Li Mingsheng, asking about the situation nervously. Li Mingsheng looked embarrassed, but his expression was relaxed as he waved his hands at them: "It was very difficult, but I came back. Now that I'm back, everything is fine. Let's go inside and talk!"
The crowd surrounded Li Mingsheng and walked into the main building.
After the crowd entered the house, the captain of the terrorist unit immediately said to Su Tianyu: "There is a doctor here. I will take you to check your body first."
"Okay, okay!" When Su Tianyu heard this, he understood in his heart that the other party was hinting that he should not follow the bosses into the house to discuss, but should rest outside to avoid suspicion.
After the two exchanged a few words, the team leader took Su Tianyu to an empty lounge and arranged for the doctor on duty at the training base to examine him.
While Su Tianyu was being examined, he took the phone and dialed the number at home again: "Hello, Second Uncle!"
"It's okay. They've all been taken down. I'm recording the confessions of innocent people now..."
Su Tianyu listened to his second uncle's powerful voice and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
…
Nearly another hour passed and it was already past six in the morning.
In the large conference room on the second floor of the main building of the garrison base, a doctor put away his equipment, nodded at Li Mingsheng and said, "You have some external injuries, but it's nothing serious. Just rest for a few days and get some intravenous drips and you'll be fine."
"Thank you for the trouble." Li Mingsheng, who was lying on a chair with an IV drip, nodded politely to the doctor.
"You guys chat." The doctor smiled, picked up the box, and turned away with his assistant.
Inside the room, the twenty or so people sitting around the conference table started cursing in indignation when they saw the doctor leave.
"Damn it! The bandit has no intention of killing, but the people in the city are restless." A middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and cursed: "It's a good thing that the mayor is fine, otherwise we would be so frustrated...!"
"Yes, we must fight back!"
"This terrorist squad, half of the city council, and the police department are all here... Let's just take action!"
“…!”
During this period, those who could sit in this room and see Li Mingsheng in person were all die-hard members of his lineage. If anyone had any suspicious identity, Jin Maohui would not call him, so everyone's emotions were real.
For political factions, the supreme leader is the spiritual leader of the team. If he falls, the faction will basically cease to exist.
Li Mingsheng waved his hand, and everyone immediately quieted down. He then asked Jin Maohui, "Have the identities of the desperate gang members at the ranch been verified?"
"It has been verified that it is a group of armed forces in the Casaro area, and it may have something to do with the Xue family that sells gold bricks." Jin Maohui replied: "I have inquired about it and it is basically certain that this matter was done by the Republican faction and the Shanghai faction."
Li Mingsheng was silent for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "What's the situation with the Chi Army?"
"The Chi army was well prepared and had arranged support personnel, but they still suffered heavy casualties during the exchange of fire. The data I just got is that more than 40 people were killed on the spot." Jin Maohui replied.
Li Mingsheng was silent for a long time, then his eyes began to brighten. He calmly instructed, "The City Council should contact the Publicity Department to hold a press conference around 1:30 p.m. tomorrow. During this time, you can communicate privately and spread the word that I've escaped."
"Yes!" A middle-aged man nodded.
"Jin Maohui, call the airport and tell them that due to the recent frequent extreme incidents in Longcheng, you have received an order from the municipal government to supervise both the military and civilian airports from now on."
"Yes!" Jin Maohui nodded.
“…!” Li Mingsheng sat on the bench and began to plan his counterattack.
…
Longcheng city area.
Secretary Lu got out of the car and walked quickly towards the small command center, holding the phone in his hand and said, "Fuck, is the person dead or alive? Give me a definite answer! What's the answer to missing, huh?!"
