Xiao Hang fired back at the enemy while he shook his head at Zhao Yu. “Where did they get the mining cart?” he asked. “This really is like an action movie.”

The enemy’s mining cart was as fast as Zhao Yu’s. Two men were standing on the cart and shooting at Zhao Yu with submachine guns they held in their hands. Li Jing and Xiao Hang had to huddle together in the bottom of the cart.

However, Zhao Yu, currently standing on the outside of the mining cart, was preparing to stop the cart with his feet. He was completely exposed to the enemy, and he got shot badly. Fortunately, his shield had not disappeared, so it protected his face.

The acute pain made Zhao Yu furious, and he came up with a malicious plan to deal with the enemy. He applied the Invisible Accelerator to the enemy’s cart so it instantly began moving faster.

“Sit down, all of you sit down,” Zhao Yu yelled at Li Jing and Xiao Hang. He then jumped back into the mining cart. He pressed them under his own body to protect them.

Next, he quickly searched for the right device in his head and finally found an Invisible Spring Launcher just as his mining cart was about to hit the stalled cart in front of them.

All of a sudden, his mining cart soared up into the air, leaping over the cart in front of them. As Zhao Yu’s cart took off, the enemy’s cart rushed ahead at a high rate of speed.

Unfortunately, the enemy saw the obstacle in front of their cart only when it was too late for them to react.

The next moment, as they screamed, the two mining carts collided at a high rate of speed, making a loud and tragic sound. The two men standing on the cart flew out. One fell on his head and shattered it, the other tumbled down the slope and passed out.

Ah!

The enemy had been devastated. Zhao Yu also screamed. Although he couldn’t see the rails below them, he knew that his cart had gone off the track, and he had no idea where it would land.

Fortunately, Zhao Yu had prepared another device. After he used the Invisible Spring Launcher, he used an Invisible Parachute on the mining cart. Although the mining cart was heavy and the parachute could not function to its fullest, it could at least ensure that they would land safely.

As Zhao Yu expected, when the mining cart landed, it did not overturn and continued to slide down the slope. However, because it was off of the tracks and one wheel was missing, the mining cart made an s-shaped turn on the slope.

Luckily, the slope came to an end soon after the cart landed. The ground leveled off, so the cart gradually slowed down then stopped.

Seeing the cart stop, Zhao Yu gasped in relief and stood up. His body had been pressed against Li Jing’s for a while and he had messed up her hair.

Oh, yeah, he thought.

Making sure that the others were safe, Zhao Yu clenched his fist excitedly as he shouted, “This was amazing. Ouch…”

Suddenly, Zhao Yu felt great pain where he had been hit by rubber bullets, which made him grin awkwardly.

“No way? What happened to us just now? Why were we flying?” Xiao Hang asked as he got out of the cart. He couldn’t see anything, so he quickly put on the night-vision goggles that were hanging around his neck.

“Just now…” Li Jing was still suffering from shock. “Zhao Yu, did we crash just now? Where is the enemy?” she asked.

Zhao Yu sneered and said, “They crashed into another mining cart on the track.”

“Ah?” Xiao Hang was confused. “How? If there had been another mining cart, we would have crashed first. What happened?”

“Xiao Hang, that’s not important. Let’s get in touch with the rescue team first. Is your phone still working?” Li Jing asked him.

“Mine…” Xiao Hang touched his ear and found that his earphone was missing. He took out his cell phone. “No signal,” he said.

“Zhao Yu? How about you?” Li Jing turned to ask Zhao Yu but noticed that Zhao Yu was back into the cart.

At first, she thought that Zhao Yu was pulling Cui Lizhu out of the cart. But Zhao Yu took a rectangular metal piece out of the mining cart.

“Look, I found it. Is this gold?” Zhao Yu took the metal out and handed it to the other two.

“Is there something wrong with your eyes?” Xiao Hang asked, shaking his head. “Isn’t this iron? Gold? Gold shines.”

Huh?

Zhao Yu then realized that he was still wearing the Invisible Night Vision Device, so he could not see the true color of the metal.

“Let me have a look.” Li Jing turned on her cellphone’s flashlight. She only took a moment to look before recognizing it. “This is iron ingot, what you got after smelting iron ore. It was used by the Japanese to make weapons and equipment in the war.”

“Ah? It’s not gold…” Zhao Yu frowned and thought for a moment, trying to figure out a possible reason for the iron to be in the mining cart.

However, time was of the essence. He did not have much time to think about it now. It was very clear that the first thing he needed to do was use a Signal Enhancer to get in touch with the outside. He needed to get the rescue team there as soon as possible.

So, he quickly took his cellphone out and applied a Signal Enhancer to it. However, something awkward happened.

After using the device, the phone didn’t respond at all. A few seconds later, Zhao Yu received a message from his miracle system.

The system told Zhao Yu that he was now in a closed space and that the Signal Enhancer couldn’t work due to the blocked electronic signals and the bad weather. If he wanted to continue to use it, he needed to consume 5000 points to strengthen the device.

Zhao Yu cursed the system in his head. Boss, stop playing with me! 5000 points! This is a robbery! he thought.

Zhao Yu took a look at the system interface. He shook all over from anger. Because he had used 2000 points to upgrade a detector earlier, he now only had 4999 points left.

No! You are making fun of me. You are doing this on purpose! Zhao Yu thought angrily.

Zhao Yu waved his arms. If the system had been a real entity, he would have torn it to pieces.

“Zhao Yu, are you ok?” Li Jing asked when she saw Zhao Yu moving weirdly.

“Oh. My cell phone shows that there is no reception,” Zhao Yu said gloomily. “I think they must have done something to block the signal.”

Xiao Hang frowned. “Who are those people? What do they want? Why did they bring us here? Where are we?” he asked.

“No matter what they want to do to us, we must make sure that we are safe. Even if we can’t get in touch with the rescue team, the Secret Service will find out where we are eventually,” Li Jing said. “But it may take some time because of the heavy rain.”

Xiao Hang nodded then said, “I see. all we have to do now is to play hide and seek with them. As long as they can’t find us before the rescue team arrives, we will be safe.”

“Well, what are you waiting for?” Zhao Yu waved his hand. “Those people will be coming here soon. Hurry up.”

Zhao Yu went into the mining cart again, lifting Cui Lizhu in his arms. She hadn’t come around yet.

It’s time! Zhao Yu thought that he should use an antidote on Cui Lizhu to wake her up. He had a lot of antidotes in his device bar anyway.

“Wait a minute. What is that?” Xiao Hang asked just as Zhao Yu was about to use the device.

Zhao Yu turned around and suddenly saw that there was a huge tank sitting directly behind him.
