Chapter 59 Slum Stronghold
Chapter 59: Chapter 59 Slum StrongholdMountain 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
’Security’ is a fundamental need for most women in the world!
And with this, Mountain Eagle had now saved Tessa’s life twice!
Moreover, in Tessa’s heart, most of what Mountain Eagle had done was at her request.
Any woman with normal values could not resist a man who treated her like this!
"Let’s go."
Just when Tessa was in a daze, Mountain Eagle patted her with his backhand and then bolted out of the alley...
Tessa hurriedly followed him at a quick pace, almost sticking to Mountain Eagle’s back, and they narrowly dashed into the factory building just as some people turned into the alley from the left.
Upon dashing into the factory building, Mountain Eagle cursed in frustration...
The gray building looked massive from the outside, reminiscent of the factories Mountain Eagle had seen in the steel plant during his childhood.
In fact, it used to be a factory, but now all the positions along the walls had been divided into numerous small rooms by thin wooden walls...
That was not the worst part. As they entered the factory, a few youths with flashlights burst into the building thirty meters away and began kicking doors as they checked the nearest rooms...
A series of screams followed, and lights came on in many rooms...
Mountain Eagle, located near the entrance, realized the situation was bad. He looked up and said, "Up to the second floor, quickly, follow me..."
Mountain Eagle moved fast, but where they were standing was bathed in the outside starlight. They weren’t noticeable when still, but as soon as they moved, they were spotted.
The young intruders, upon spotting them, excitedly shouted and banged on their surroundings with the clubs in their hands as they gave chase...
Tessa, clutching Mountain Eagle’s tactical belt, stumbled up a staircase to the second floor of the factory...
The area on the second floor was very large, approximately 500 square meters...
However, the long-neglected building was drafty in many places, and even had two large holes where the walls had broken through.
Half of the asbestos and color steel mixed tiles that had been on the roof for who knows how many years were missing, making it completely uninhabitable.
After carrying Shasili upstairs, Mountain Eagle rushed forward about ten meters, set Shasili down on the ground against a pillar to sit, then without any further care, turned back and charged to the staircase entrance, raising his leg to deliver a Spartan kick to someone charging up...
The recipient of the kick made a suspicious ’crack’ at the chest, and the entire figure was sent flying backward, crashing into two companions. The trio rolled into a ball and fell from the L-shaped staircase without railings, howling in agony as they landed...
Mountain Eagle had no time to pay attention to the unfortunate trio. He quickly called out to Tessa...
"Bricks, I need a lot of bricks to block the stairway exit and build cover..."
After speaking, Mountain Eagle, regardless of anything else, put down his weapons, first dashed to a collapsed gray brick wall, took a brick in each hand to the staircase exit, stacking two bricks together.
Tessa knew at a glance what Mountain Eagle intended to do and immediately dropped her gun to go help...
A single layer of gray bricks couldn’t stop bullets, but two layers plus being on higher ground, made a passable cover.
The staircase exit wasn’t wide, but its location was excellent, facing sideways to the factory entrance. Anyone breaking in through the door had to turn to attack the stairwell entrance.
The second-floor stairwell opening was quite large, but the original railings had been removed. Mountain Eagle used 8 gray bricks to quickly establish a cover at the stairwell opening, then moved four more bricks to the edge of the stairwell opening on the exit side, constructing a makeshift defensive position...
"They’re coming..."
Mountain Eagle picked up the UMP9 and three magazines, calling out to Tessa: "You guard the stairwell entrance; if someone breaks in, open fire. Got it?"
Tessa, her face covered in dust, picked up a UMP and magazines from the ground and crouched at the stairwell entrance, placing the magazines beside her, the muzzle protruding from the deliberately left shooting port.
The outside starlight contrasted sharply with the darkness inside the factory, so that she could see intruders as soon as they came in.
Seeing Tessa remain fairly calm, Mountain Eagle lay on the ground and took a deep breath, turning off the safety on his UMP...
From his position, he could see part of the area outside the door. When he spotted a black-clothed gunman approaching the entrance sticking close to the distant wall...
"Pop pop..."
