Chapter 619 - 612: Breaking the Spearhead
The passage was long and wide, allowing a medium-sized truck to pass through. However, the entire underground construction seemed shoddy, with signs of hasty completion everywhere. Most of its lighting wires were exposed, and there was no basic decorative work done.
But from a security perspective, the bunker had been very thoroughly fortified.
The entire bunker extended along a corridor to either side, which was the inevitable result of the need for rapid construction, but the corridor wasn’t straight. Instead, it meandered back and forth in an S shape. Then, at intervals along the bends of the S, there would be a blast-proof door—an essential feature of any underground fortification.
However, many blast-proof doors were only framed, some had been fitted with hydraulic switches, and others simply had spaces designated for future installation.
For Gao Yuan, there were too many areas to pay attention to. Alone, it was impossible to cover everything comprehensively. Hidden within the underground rooms flanking the corridor could be enemies armed to the teeth, or maybe stockpiles of military arms and ammunition, or possibly supplies of medicine and food, but none of that mattered to Gao Yuan.
What mattered was to charge ahead and chase after the fleeing members of the Sanitation Worker’s Elder Council.
In this battle, the Sanitation Workers hadn’t actually made any mistakes. Even though they had received false information, the Elder Council had still not made any major errors.
Yet, despite their overwhelming advantage, the Sanitation Workers faced the threat of a beheading crisis.
It was like a strong man fighting a five-year-old child—the strong man should have been able to knock the child down with a single punch, but now the strong man was at risk of having his head blown off. Why? Because the child had pulled out a gun and aimed it at the strong man’s head.
This was a classic example of losing inexplicably despite having a comprehensive advantage in strength and making no mistakes.
