Chapter 59 Slum Stronghold
Mountain Eagle had been circling the slums, not wanting to go too deep—traveling too far would inconvenience meeting up with forthcoming support and even more so affect a retreat.
This rotten place did not have a single good road; vehicles could not enter at all.
Two Audis were constantly blocked at the exits of two roads, and others could only get out of their cars and search the slums on foot.
