Chapter 449: Realizing that something was wrong
On the top of the mountain, in the test area, fierce battles are also in full swing.
Lawrence also had the idea of getting rid of the Americans for a long time, so in the past few years, he has been secretly recruiting troops, and successfully arranged a team of more than 30 people on a small island near his future territory.
This group of men and horses was also born as mercenaries, but Lawrence bought them out for three years at once and raised them on a nearby island.
After he separated from Cheng Yu before, he immediately used his satellite phone that was not often turned on to contact those people.
These people also acted quite quickly, and it only took fifteen minutes to arrive here, and with the cooperation of Lawrence's men, they quickly killed Andre's men on the mountain road, and rushed to the top of the mountain as fast as possible.
Lawrence originally thought that Andrew's gang had been on the island for seven or eight years, and although they were all brave and good fighters back then, the long-term comfortable life had already made these people no longer brave.
Although there are only more than thirty people on his side who can fight well, there are other subordinates of thirty or forty people, who have long been used as cannon fodder by Lawrence, and they can resist for a while.
With the strength of those thirty mercenaries, Lawrence believes that he will definitely be able to defeat Andre and the others who have been at ease for a long time.
But as soon as the two sides exchanged fire, Lawrence found that the reality was not as he imagined, Andre's gang, although they were used to living a comfortable life, but when they really fought, they were still very strong.
Soon, there were casualties on both sides, and Lawrence realized that the mercenaries he led were probably no match for Andre's gang, and even if they did, they would probably be a crushing victory.
He thought of Cheng Yu.
He knew that since Andre would take the initiative to exchange fire with him, it meant that Andre already knew his purpose and probably had eavesdropped on him.
But since this is the case, he also believes that Andre and the others will not attack Cheng Yu easily, and they are not willing to risk being attacked by the British. However, if Cheng Yu is left in the experimental building, it is likely that he will lose his wife and lose his soldiers.
Even though he knew that it would be very difficult to break into the test area, Lawrence still made a quick decision and asked the leader of his mercenaries, with a group of people who were already on the island, to find a breakthrough from the rear.
But Lawrence couldn't have imagined that Cheng Yu was not a British agent at all, and Cheng Yu had only one purpose, that is, to take Li Dali away smoothly.
The guy in gray military uniform who was killed by Cheng Yu was the leader of the mercenary team invited by Lawrence, Lawrence paid several casualties under his command to send that person into the experimental building, but he didn't expect that person would die in the hands of Cheng Yu.
The two sides continued to engage in the main exchange of fire in front of the laboratory building, but with heavy casualties on both sides, both sides began to rein in their artillery fire and no longer attacked as they had done at the beginning.
Time passed minute by minute, a full twenty minutes, and Lawrence couldn't wait for the person who entered the laboratory building to bring Cheng Yu and Li Dali out.
Even the people who were sent to pick them up afterwards didn't have any news from them, let alone saw them come back.
He realized that something might have happened to that man.
Two people were sent again, and this time, the two men went around the rear smoothly, after all, the exchange of fire between the two sides was no longer as dense as before, and after the two men went around to the rear, they soon found the body of their companion.
Although they did not climb to the rooftop again, with only the few corpses below, how could these two people not understand that the person who attacked the laboratory building must have also died.
After getting the news, Lawrence's face quickly sank, he began to realize that the situation was not good, and he also began to doubt Cheng Yu.
After all, Cheng Yu himself is also a person with considerable strength, and even, with his marksmanship and skills, it is impossible for anyone on the entire island to be his opponent on a one-on-one, Lawrence still knows Peng Bo's strength very well.
Moreover, Lawrence knew very well that Peng Bo was not dead, and he kept Peng Bo behind, but he also had some thoughts, counting on Peng Bo to be his internal response in the laboratory building, even if Peng Bo was seriously injured, Lawrence, who knew Peng Bo well enough, still believed that as long as Peng Bo was alive, in case of emergency, he would still be able to help him open a gap from the inside of the laboratory building.
But now, even Peng Bo has no news.
Lawrence glanced at it with a gloomy face, raised his hand and fired two shots, and then quickly gave an order to his subordinates - withdraw!
In fact, attacking the laboratory building was originally a helpless move, Lawrence originally thought that he would bring his troops to come, and he could enter the laboratory building before Andre and the others could react, and then quickly kill most of the other party's people and gain control of the laboratory building.
With the lab building in control and the mortars in hand, Lawrence was confident that he would win tonight.
But as soon as he brought people up, he was violently attacked by Andre and others, and he had to try to storm the experimental building, but he hadn't attacked for more than 20 minutes, and the chance was not much.
Lawrence didn't quite understand why he had been attacking the laboratory building for so long, and Andre hadn't taken out those mortars.
Once the mortar was in hand, Lawrence, who was outside the laboratory building, had almost no power to fight back.
The only explanation is that Andre and the others suffered a lot of casualties at the beginning, causing him to have no time to clone, but this seems to be a bit unreasonable, after all, the attack started from Andre, and with sufficient preparation, there should not be too many casualties.
How did Lawrence know that Andre had just started the exchange of fire with him, and he had indeed sent men to go to the gun magazine in the basement to take out those mortars, even if there were only one or two, it was enough to quickly change the situation of this firefight.
But the people he originally sent didn't have time to take out the mortars, and they died at the hands of the people sent in by Cheng Yu and Lawrence.
Two more people were sent later, but they brought a mortar.
André thought he had a chance of winning at the time, so he hid the mortar behind the door and tried to surprise him so that he could get the most out of it.
Unexpectedly, after the shell was filled, it was not shot out at all, but directly exploded.
Therefore, the two men who operated the mortar were killed on the spot, and Andrei himself was blown blind in one eye.
The most important thing is that the mortar is so large that it cannot be transported out of the secret door at the back of the staircase, and in the gun hangar, there is also a lifting platform, through which the mortars can only be transported to the ground.
The mortar that blew up the bore directly blew up the lifting platform, which caused Andrei to be unable to transport the second mortar to the ground.
Of course, he was also actively trying to find a way, personally leading a few people to block the gate, and set up two snipers on the second floor to confront the mercenaries brought by Lawrence.
The few others left were sent to the secret door at the back of the staircase, which they were to enlarge so that they could have a chance to bring the mortar to the surface.
This is also the reason why Andre's firepower is no longer as ferocious as it was at the beginning, and he is still waiting, waiting for the rest of his men to catch up from the dormitory area below, and flank them up and down, leaving Lawrence's gang with only one way to die.
But at this moment, both Lawrence and André heard the sound of fierce firefights coming from the bottom of the mountain, and these firefights quickly became thin. The two of them, who had enough experience, both judged that the strength of the two sides in the exchange of fire below was obviously too different, and on the one hand, they were quickly defeated, so the gunfire went from dense to sparse, and it only took half a minute in total.
But the two of them couldn't have imagined that there were only two people on one of the two sides of the firefight, and these two people actually beat the team of at least 30 people below, and there were only about 10 people left in an instant.
The gunshots below continued to ring, Lawrence knew that this meant that his men could not come up to form a flanking attack for the time being, but the people who went to the back of the stairs to smash the wall were not very effective, and they were still smashing, and the situation seemed to be more and more stalemate.
Lawrence was very strange, since the fire had been exchanged below, and the victory and defeat were quickly decided, he did not believe that his few remaining subordinates could inflict heavy damage on Andre's group of people in the dormitory.
According to the normal situation, Lawrence's people should be quickly crushed to death, then, Lawrence's people must know what happened on the top of the mountain, and they will definitely rush up the mountain to help.
Because of this, Lawrence had just given the order to retreat, and he had no choice but to let those people continue to attack, if he couldn't kill these people in the laboratory building before the gang at the bottom of the mountain came up, once they formed a flanking attack, he would have no chance at all.
However, Andre's side thought the same as him, and he became more and more cautious, which gave Lawrence no chance at all. Countless shots were fired in the air, and the price of two deaths was paid, but they were not able to advance even a little.
But at this time, both Lawrence and Andre had questions, because there were no reinforcements coming up from the mountain.
This shows that the firefight near the mountainside was actually Andrei's men who were at a disadvantage, and they were also suppressed, which caused them to be unable to rush to the aid of Andrei on the top of the mountain.
But what is it that can make Andrei's men suffer?
Lawrence was puzzled.
Could it be that the British behind Cheng Yu sent people over?
This seems unlikely, after all, the presence of British troops in the Falklands is a rather sensitive event, and a careless one could lead to a war between Argentina and the British.
Thinking about it for a long time, Lawrence didn't dare to easily give up his position here and go down the mountain. If you are waited for by Andrei's men on the way down the mountain, you don't know how you died.
Suddenly, Lawrence thought of a possibility, even if it was remote......
Briton!
That's impossible!
So, is it possible that it is Cheng Yu?
If it is Cheng Yu, with his marksmanship and skills, although it seems very exaggerated to kill more than a dozen of Andre's men in an instant, it is not completely impossible!
If Andre's men hadn't been wary of Cheng Yu at first, and Cheng Yu had attacked them unexpectedly, the possibility of the two shuttles sweeping out and killing more than a dozen people still existed.
Especially Cheng Yu's marksmanship, Lawrence has witnessed it with his own eyes, and it should be described as miraculous.
Once there is such a thought in his heart, Lawrence can't bear it, if Cheng Yu has already run away, then everything he is doing now will not be meaningless.
"Andre, is Mr. Cheng not in your hands?"
Lawrence finally shouted.
Andre was stunned for a moment, it's all this time, Lawrence, you guy are still thinking about Cheng Yu? You two are true love!
"You still care more about yourself! At this time, you still have the heart to care about Mr. Cheng's life and death? Let me tell you, I have reached an agreement with Mr. Cheng, if I kill you, then he will support me as much as he supports you, for him, there is no difference between the two of us at all. The British want nothing more than profit!"
"You idiot!" Lawrence yelled angrily, he heard Andre's words, and completely went berserk, regardless of whether the firefight below was caused by Cheng Yu, as long as what Andre said was true, then Cheng Yu has nothing to believe in at all.
André is right, for the British, Lawrence or Andre, in fact, it doesn't matter at all. All they want is Cindy, the politician, and the results of the experiments on this island.
"You heard the firefight down the hill, do you think your people are still alive?" asked Lawrence.
Andre was also angry: "Lawrence, you old thing, I really underestimate you, you not only hid a mercenary, but also divided the army into two ways. On the one hand, they are holding me back, and on the other hand, they are ambushing my other subordinates at the bottom of the mountain. I'll tell you, if I lose here, I'll kill Cheng Yu, and when the time comes, we'll die together!"
Lawrence suddenly felt so tired, he said helplessly: "I suggest that we cease fire first, you go and see if that Mr. Cheng is still there! I suspect that the crossfire under the mountain is simply the one surnamed Cheng who unilaterally slaughtered your men......"
"Hahahaha, Lawrence, are you an idiot to be Lao Tzu? No matter how strong Mr. Cheng is, after all, he is only one person, and he alone can stop so many of my subordinates? Besides, he is in the laboratory building, and he can't get out at all!"
"Lao Tzu is not afraid to tell you, just now I have sent people to attack from the rear, but now my people are all dead inside, if they are not killed by your people, it is Cheng Yu who killed them. And Cheng Yu probably escaped from the rear as well......"
When Andre heard this, he was also stunned......
How could it be?
"Did anyone notice someone coming in the building?"
All of Andrei's subordinates shook their heads, and Andrei's heart sank.
There are two possibilities, one is that Lawrence is talking nonsense, and no one is attacking at all.
But there is another possibility, which is that someone has come in, and the people who found him have died at his hands, and that person has not appeared, which means that that person has also died inside.
After ruling out the possibility that both sides will die together, there is only one possibility, that person died in the hands of Cheng Yu, or, there is an extremely slight possibility that Li Dali or those experimental subjects killed that person.
But this apparently the possibility is almost zero.
"You, go to the top of the building and see what the hell is going on...... Andre sent one of his men, and the man ran quickly to the stairs, and soon he turned back.
Because the man had already seen the dead gray uniforms and a few people on his side in the fire escape.
Having learned the exact news, Andrei personally went to his office, which was empty......
The door was locked, which meant that it was impossible for Cheng Yu to get out of the door.
And outside the window are the two sides of the firefight, the windows have been shattered, and it is impossible for Cheng Yu to leave from this direction.
Where did this guy go? How did he leave?—— Andre suddenly felt that he had encountered a supernatural event? He couldn't even imagine the way Cheng Yu left.
Could it be that Cheng Yu and his subordinates were really fighting each other at the foot of the mountain? Moreover, he killed most of the people below by himself?
Forcing himself to calm down, Andre found it ridiculous, but he also felt that it was not entirely impossible.
He returned to the gate and shouted loudly: "Cheng Yu is really gone!"
"Ceasefire!" Lawrence roared, ordering his men not to shoot again, while also demanding that André do the same.
"Ceasefire!" Andre seemed to see Lawrence's sincerity and gave the same order.
"Andre, something happened! That Cheng Yu, it seems that he may not be as he said, he came to the future territory, I'm afraid he has another purpose......" Although Lawrence didn't know Cheng Yu's true identity, at this time, it was impossible for him not to guess that Cheng Yu had another purpose.
Andrei quickly made a judgment: "You ask Cindy to ask clearly, I'll go unblock the signal, call below, and ask them who the person who fought with them just now!"
Lawrence agreed, and quickly ordered his men to go down to find Cindy.
Cindy had already collapsed at this time, and she guessed that Cheng Yu might act tonight, so she quickly poured herself too much, thinking that she had drunk too much, and even if something went wrong, she could get rid of herself with Lawrence.
But the fierce exchange of fire up and down had already made Cindy wake up, and she ran out to see that there was a lot of artillery fire on the top of the hill and below, and Cindy was pale, knowing that something was wrong.
She also made a decision immediately, took the gun without hesitation, and ran down the mountain.
Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu, why did you make such a big move? Aren't you just trying to save someone? Can't you sneak people away?
While complaining about Cheng Yu in her heart, Cindy hurriedly ran into the jungle.
At this time, she didn't dare to go down the only road on the mountain, it was no different from looking for death.
Seeing someone wandering on the road, Cindy also dodged as much as possible, but still couldn't dodge, and was finally discovered, five or six guns aimed at her, although she also had a gun in her hand, but she still chose to disarm and surrender.
The people who captured her were, of course, Andrei's men.
The men sent by Lawrence soon arrived in the White House, but they didn't see Cindy.
As soon as the two men saw that the situation was getting more and more wrong, they didn't want to go up the mountain again, so they called Lawrence and told him that Cindy had run away.
Lawrence was furious: "Run? This place is surrounded by the sea, where can you run?"
And Andre has also received the news at this moment, and the person who is fighting with his subordinates below is indeed Cheng Yu.
Those people were convincing in their words, saying that Cheng Yu was single-handed, and his marksmanship was like a god, and he killed at least a dozen of their brothers.
Andre was furious, but there was good news, they caught Cindy.
"Bring it on!"
