Lin Chuan tried to approach one of the five-story buildings, but from a distance, he saw that the building's entrance was guarded. Anyone entering seemed to go through a check and questioning. Lin Chuan simply turned around and headed for the other two buildings. The situation appeared somewhat special; aside from the first five-story building, the other two buildings basically required no checks or inspection at all. This clearly indicated that there must be some secret inside the first five-story building.

For Wa State, the biggest secret currently was the capture of China's drug enforcement squad, wasn't it? Lin Chuan guessed that Zhao Zhonghai and the others were probably being held here.

Once Lin Chuan confirmed his thoughts, he decisively decided to enter the first five-story building. However, getting inside did not seem easy. There were two soldiers guarding the entrance, and he still didn't know what the situation was like inside. Lin Chuan walked a full circle around the building from a distance and discovered that the building's drainpipe was on the outside of the wall; he could use the drainpipe to quickly gain entry.

A sly smile lifted the corner of Lin Chuan's mouth.

"Hey, what are you sneakily up to?" Suddenly, a voice called out.

Lin Chuan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned around to see a soldier, reeking of alcohol, standing behind him, his cheeks flushed red, as he said, "Come over here quickly."

Lin Chuan walked over slowly, speaking awkwardly, "I... I..."

"Go, get me some booze," the soldier in uniform barked.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Lin Chuan nodded hastily.

The soldier in uniform tossed a military canteen to Lin Chuan and then turned to leave, walking towards a row of tents not far behind. Watching the man's retreating figure, a smile formed on Lin Chuan's lips. He weighed the liquor canteen in his hand, then swiftly headed towards the cellar. After a bit of negotiation, Lin Chuan successfully got a canteen full of liquor from the cellar.

Lin Chuan walked with the liquor canteen toward the five-story building.

"Stop." The two guards immediately stopped Lin Chuan.

"You two," Lin Chuan solemnly glanced at them, saying, "This is the General's reward for you. Find a place and enjoy the drink."

The two guards were stunned, but they recognized the badge on the canteen. When they saw the canteen, they both became excited. They awkwardly said, "But... but the prison!"

"Don't worry, leave it to me," Lin Chuan said with a smile.

"Alright, alright." The two guards, not having tasted alcohol for a long time, were naturally very excited about the General's reward of a canteen of liquor. They quickly dashed towards the direction of the kitchen.

Lin Chuan stood at the entrance with his gun slung until the two men were out of sight; then he immediately shouted at a soldier who was passing by, "Mate, come over here."

"What is it?" The man looked at Lin Chuan, puzzled.

"Watch the door for me," Lin Chuan glanced at him, saying, "I need to take a quick break."

The man hesitated, then nodded with some suspicion, "Okay, go ahead!"

Lin Chuan turned and entered the building; inside, it was brightly lit. Upon entering, he faced a flight of stairs with rooms on both sides. Lin Chuan hesitated for a moment and immediately went left. Each room had a reinforced steel window through which one could see the inside, where prisoners were held. However, Zhao Zhonghai and the others were not on the first floor.

Lin Chuan rushed up to the second floor. He searched all the way until on the fourth floor he finally found Zhao Zhonghai's cell.

"Old Zhao," Lin Chuan called out urgently.

Zhao Zhonghai had sharp ears and immediately heard Lin Chuan's voice; he reflexively stood up, eyes fixed outside the window. After a while, he exclaimed in shock, "Lin Chuan, you... how did you get here?"

The others in the room also stood up.

"Don't say anything, get ready to follow me," Lin Chuan hastily took a pin from his clothes and quickly unlocked the cell door.

Zhao Zhonghai and the others were handcuffed and shackled. Lin Chuan quickly gave them all the pins he had. These men were experts at picking locks; with just a pin, they could unlock these simple locks. Soon, everyone rushed out of the room.

"Wait a second," Zhao Zhonghai called out urgently.

"What's wrong?" Lin Chuan asked.

"There are many soldiers from the Wa State Army; we may not be able to overpower them if we just run out," Zhao Zhonghai quickly said, "It would be better to release all the prisoners here. By doing so, if we create chaos, we can try to escape."

Lin Chuan hesitated for a moment.

Suddenly, a flurry of chatter came from outside.

"Damn, we've been discovered," one of the Chinese warriors said with a tone of urgency.

"Hurry up and unlock the doors," Lin Chuan commanded with a wave of his hand.

With the situation exposed, the only option left was to unlock the doors and create chaos to escape. Soon, all of the ten-plus cells on the fourth floor were opened. Fifty to sixty prisoners were released, all very excited, yet not considering the trouble that would follow.

"For freedom, for survival, charge!" Zhao Zhonghai shouted loudly.

"Charge!" Indeed, the prisoners foolishly rushed downstairs.

But Lin Chuan spoke to Zhao Zhonghai and the others, "Quick, follow me."

Six people dashed to the fifth floor at a swift pace. Once there, they released another fifty to sixty prisoners. Lin Chuan led Zhao Zhonghai and the others to climb out of the fifth-floor window using the drainpipe. This drainpipe was conveniently located on the back side of this five-story building. On the front side, prisoners were engaging in combat with the Wa State Army.

The prisoners were obviously no match for the Wa State Army; one side had guns while the other was unarmed. It was no contest at all.

Lin Chuan and the others quickly jumped down from the fifth floor.

"There are people here," shouted a Wa State warrior.

Swish...

A dagger swiftly ended his life. The soldier fell before he could finish his shout.

"Nice knifework," Zhao Zhonghai laughed.

"Move quickly," Lin Chuan bent down and sprinted towards the western exit at high speed.

Zhao Zhonghai casually grabbed a gun from the corpse and slung it over his arm. The sound of the soldier shouting had already attracted the attention of the Wa State Army. So, when they rushed forward, they immediately encountered sniping Wa State warriors.

"Three on the left, five on the right," Zhao Zhonghai hurriedly shouted.

Ratatat...

The bullets immediately blocked the group's path. Several people fell down, each seeking cover to hide. Apart from Lin Chuan and Zhao Zhonghai, the other brothers were unarmed. Thus, the difference in strength was stark.

"I'll deal with them," Lin Chuan said.

Lin Chuan hid behind a broken wall and quickly took out his rifle.

Zhao Zhonghai immediately pointed out, "Three rifles at eleven o'clock. Five men are moving under cover towards two o'clock."

Lin Chuan gave Zhao Zhonghai a thumbs up, then he charged out. As he sprinted out from behind the broken wall, Lin Chuan rolled on the ground and opened fire while rolling.

Burst burst burst...

As soon as the bullets rang out, the three men on the left fell, screaming in agony. At that moment, Lin Chuan's speed had decreased, and the five men at two o'clock immediately realized something was wrong. The five of them took shots on the spot.

The bullets fell around Lin Chuan. Nearly without a chance to lift his head, his legs pushed fiercely against the ground, and he quickly dived into a bush.

Ratatat...

The bullets from the five men rained down into the bushes, with plant debris flying and white smoke billowing.

"No, I have to help Lin Chuan," Zhao Zhonghai said anxiously.

"We'll help too!" the other four men said with resolute determination.

Then, the four men immediately began their action. Zhao Zhonghai quickly popped his head out from behind the broken wall and opened fire frantically at the five men, killing three on the spot, while the remaining two lay down, quickly hiding in the grass.

At this moment, the four teammates from the anti-drug special action team quickly disarmed the guns from the corpses and armed themselves. Just then, the main force finally appeared. The chaos in the prison area had been completely quelled. Now, attracted by the sound of gunfire on their end, the main force began to encircle them. Hundreds of armed men formed a huge fan shape slowly encircling towards Lin Chuan and his group.

"This is bad," Zhao Zhonghai immediately sensed trouble.

"Old Zhao, we need to retreat fast," Lin Chuan urged, scrambling out of the bushes.

"Damn, so many people?!" Zhao Zhonghai exclaimed in fright, feeling goosebumps all over. Under the light, a dense row of figures appeared. Did the entire Wa State division turn out? Zhao Zhonghai hurriedly shouted, "Brothers, retreat!"

The four teammates sprinted rapidly towards the western exit.

Lin Chuan stepped out from the bushes in one stride, quickly catching up with his comrades as they all sprinted out. Their speed was exceptionally fast. However, the pursuers behind them were no less determined, chasing them relentlessly.

"Catch up with them."

"Don't let them escape."

"Kill them. Open fire!"

The shouts, gunfire, and curses from behind merged into one tumult.

Lin Chuan knew that if they were caught, the consequences were unimaginable. Given the enemy's fury, they would not rest until they had devoured their prey. Therefore, he could not fall into their hands; otherwise, death was certain.

The six of them rushed forward, each exerting their full strength, desperate to break through the western exit immediately.

Only by getting through that exit would they be like fish entering the ocean; otherwise, they would forever be trapped within the enemy's encirclement, with no chance of breaking free. As they were charging forward, suddenly, a squad of more than twenty men burst out from the western exit, heading straight towards them.
