"Attack!" The leader of the men in black gave the order, as if releasing a pack of ferocious wolves. They were well-trained, and every move was extremely ruthless. Dai Shiya and Wei Qing were forced to retreat step by step. Dai Shiya swung the iron rod vigorously to repel the approaching men in black, but her physical strength soon began to run out.
"Shiya, run away!" Wei Qing was quick-eyed and quick-handed. She threw a small knife at the man in black behind Dai Shiya. The tip of the knife accurately pierced the man in black's arm. The man in black let out a scream and fell to the ground, covering his arm.
Dai Shiya took the opportunity to break out, but there were too many men in black. She was forced back after just a few steps.
"Damn it!" Dai Shiya cursed inwardly. She knew that if they continued like this, they would be caught sooner or later. She quickly took out her cell phone and called a cousin in the family.
The call was connected. Before Dai Shiya could speak, she heard an old voice from the other end of the phone: "Shiya, where are you now? Something happened in the family, come back quickly!"
It was the elder of the family, the Third Uncle! Dai Shiya couldn't help but feel happy, as if she had grasped the last straw: "Third Uncle, I'm here..."
"Shiya, listen to me," the third uncle interrupted Dai Shiya anxiously, "Don't come back now. You've caused big trouble. The family can't protect itself now. You..."
The call was suddenly disconnected. Dai Shiya stood there in a daze. Before she could react to what was happening, she felt a strong wind whistling behind her.
"Be careful!" Wei Qing shouted and threw Dai Shiya to the ground, thus avoiding the attack of the man in black.
"It seems that we are really isolated and helpless." Dai Shiya got up from the ground with a wry smile, but her eyes revealed an unprecedented determination.
"What are you afraid of? We still have one last fight!" Wei Qing said as she quickly scanned the piles of scrap machine parts around her. A sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Come on, let's teach them a lesson!"
Dai Shiya looked at Wei Qing, a glimmer of hope welled up in her heart, but the next second, her pupils suddenly contracted, and she rushed towards Wei Qing, shouting loudly: "Be careful——"
Dai Shiya tried her best to throw Wei Qing to the ground. At the critical moment, a steel pipe flew past her back with a strong wind and hit the container behind her with a deafening sound. Wei Qing was still in shock and before she could thank him, she was pulled up by Dai Shiya and hid behind a pile of discarded tires.
"It seems that they want to kill us." Dai Shiya panted, her tone as cold as frost in winter.
Wei Qing picked up a piece of broken glass from the ground. In the dim light, the glass reflected a cold light: "Then let them see what a Jedi counterattack is!"
She had carefully observed the surrounding environment. Although this abandoned factory was dilapidated, it was full of usable "weapons". Wei Qing inserted steel bars between the tires and quickly built a simple defense. She also poured waste engine oil at the entrance. Once ignited, it would form a wall of fire to block the enemy's attack.
Dai Shiya relied on her agility to shuttle back and forth between the scrap machines, using stones, iron rods and other objects to attack the enemy, thus covering Wei Qing's actions. They cooperated very well, like two female leopards forced into a desperate situation, resisting fiercely and tenaciously.
However, there were too many men in black, and they were clearly well prepared, so their attacks became increasingly fierce. Dai Shiya and Wei Qing gradually became exhausted, and many more scars appeared on their bodies.
"We can't go on like this, we must break out!" Wei Qing wiped the sweat from her face and said anxiously.
Dai Shiya looked around and her eyes finally fell on a rusty iron door. It was the back door of the factory, leading to a wasteland.
"Follow me!"
…
At the same time, inside the headquarters building of Dai Enterprises, the atmosphere was completely different.
"You all saw how much trouble Dai Shiya caused! Now our entire family is going to suffer as a result!" The third uncle accused harshly, and several other elders echoed him, describing Dai Shiya as a sinner who was more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything.
The employees originally admired Dai Shiya's ability and courage, but after the instigation of the elders, they began to waver, and looked at Dai Shiya's office with suspicion and dissatisfaction.
"But, the projects that Ms. Shiya worked on before have clearly brought huge profits to the company..." A young department manager retorted in a low voice, but his voice was quickly drowned out by a chorus of accusations.
Some family members who originally supported Dai Shiya began to hesitate at this time. Although they admired Dai Shiya's ability, they were more afraid that the family would be implicated.
Dai Shiya's position in the family is already in jeopardy...
Just as Dai Shiya and Wei Qing were desperately trying to break out, the leader of the men in black, who was hiding in the dark, raised a cold smile and whispered into the headset: "The target person is about to enter the designated area, the action begins..."
The rusty iron door made a harsh friction sound. Dai Shiya pushed hard, but found that the door was locked. In a hurry, she stepped back a few steps and kicked the door lock hard. With a loud bang, the door lock broke and the iron door fell to the ground.
Outside the door, it was not the wasteland as expected, but a taller wall. Dai Shiya's heart suddenly sank, and a feeling of being plotted against slowly crawled up her spine like an icy snake. The man in black seemed to have anticipated that they would choose this path and deliberately set a trap.
"It seems that they are not ordinary thugs." Dai Shiya's tone was solemn, and a cold light flashed in her eyes, like a sharp blade. "They are targeting me in an organized and planned manner. There must be a powerful force behind them..."
Who is this powerful force? Dai Shiya's brain was working fast, like a high-speed rotating gear, trying to find clues from recent events. In-family struggles, business competitors, and even... She didn't dare to think about it anymore. A huge pressure was like a heavy boulder, pressing her to the point of suffocation.
At this moment, the men in black had caught up and surrounded them. Wei Qing picked up a steel pipe and bravely stood in front of Dai Shiya, her eyes as sharp as burning flames: "Shiya, go quickly! I'll stop them!"
"No, let's go together!" How could Dai Shiya abandon her friend and run away alone? She picked up a brick and threw it hard at the man in black who rushed over.
The battle started again, but this time the enemy was more fierce and every move was deadly. In order to protect Dai Shiya, Wei Qing was hit hard on the arm by a man in black. She groaned and the steel pipe in her hand fell to the ground.
"Wei Qing!" Dai Shiya's eyes were red with anger, and a rage gushed out from the bottom of her heart like a volcanic eruption. She rushed towards the man in black desperately, punching and kicking him, each move was extremely ruthless, and she completely gave up on defense.
The man in black obviously underestimated Dai Shiya's explosive power and was beaten back again and again. However, just when Dai Shiya thought she could win back a round, a tall man in black suddenly appeared, grabbed her wrist, and threw her to the ground like a rag doll.
Dai Shiya felt dizzy and her back hit the hard concrete floor, which made her almost unable to breathe. She struggled to stand up, but found that she was suppressed by the leader of the men in black and could not move.
"Who... sent you?" Dai Shiya asked with difficulty, gritting her teeth, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth.
The leader of the men in black looked down at her with a sadistic smile on his face, like a devil's smile: "You don't need to know, you just need to know that your era is over."
He raised the iron rod in his hand and was about to hit Dai Shiya's head. Wei Qing ignored the pain in her arm and tried to get up to stop him, but he kicked her away and she fell heavily into the corner and fainted.
Despair, like a surging tide, surged into Dai Shiya's heart. Was she really going to die here? In this dark and damp abandoned factory, ending her short but eventful life?
The leader of the men in black raised the iron rod high in his hand, and was about to drop it... Suddenly, he stopped. He seemed to have noticed something, and his eyes turned to a dark corner deep in the factory.
"What's over there?" he asked in a low voice, with a hint of doubt in his tone, like a wild beast smelling a strange scent in the dark.
Dai Shiya also followed his gaze, and on the wall of the factory, a secret door that was almost integrated with the wall quietly appeared in her sight... "That...that is..." The leader of the men in black walked towards the secret door step by step, stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch something, or as if he was testing an unknown danger.
The leader of the men in black approached the secret door step by step, and his outstretched hand stopped in mid-air. In the dim light, the sizzling electric current jumped around the secret door, weaving a terrifying web of death. The air was filled with the smell of burning, and it was obvious that someone had been electrocuted to death here before.
"Damn it!" The leader of the men in black cursed and abruptly retracted his hand. He looked back at Dai Shiya who was pinned to the ground, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, like a dark cloud covering the original coldness. What is behind this secret door? Is it so important that it needs such strict protection?
Dai Shiya's heart was beating violently. This secret door might be the only way for her and Wei Qing to survive. But the electric current device around them was undoubtedly an insurmountable obstacle. She had to find a way.
"Boss, this..." A man in black spoke cautiously, as if trying to dissuade the leader.
"Shut up!" the leader interrupted him impatiently, "Go see if there are any switches or other mechanisms around."
Several men in black immediately dispersed and began to search around the factory. Dai Shiya stared at them closely, her brain working rapidly like a sophisticated computer. She had to seize this opportunity.
"Ahem..." Dai Shiya pretended to cough a few times to attract the attention of the leader of the men in black. "I know how to open this door." She said weakly, with a hint of cunning in her tone, like a cunning little fox.
The leader of the men in black looked at her suspiciously: "You know?"
"That's right." Dai Shiya endured the pain and tried to appear calm, like a steady mountain. "Behind this door lies the secret of my family. I know the password to open it."
The leader of the men in black was obviously a little shaken. The curiosity in his heart was like an invisible hand, pulling him. He walked in front of Dai Shiya, squatted down, and stared into her eyes like a hawk staring at its prey: "You'd better not play tricks. If you dare to lie to me, you know the consequences."
Dai Shiya smiled slightly, with a barely perceptible cold light flashing in her eyes, like a cold star twinkling in the night sky: "Of course I won't lie to you. My life is in your hands now, and I want to open this door more than anyone else."
She paused and continued, "The unlocking password is a set of numbers that need to be entered in a specific order. But..." She deliberately prolonged her voice and observed the reaction of the leader of the men in black, like an experienced hunter observing the movements of her prey.
"But what?" The leader of the men in black really took the bait, like a fish attracted by bait.
"But I need to get close to that door to enter the password accurately." Dai Shiya pointed at the secret door, her tone sincere, like a devout believer.
The leader of the men in black hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed to her request. He ordered two men in black to carry Dai Shiya and walk towards the secret door.
The sizzling sound of the current became louder and louder, and Dai Shiya's heart rose to her throat, like a deer about to be hunted by a hunter. She had to find a way to escape before the man in black discovered her intention. She carefully observed the environment around the secret door and her eyes fell on the power line of the current device. In the dim light, she vaguely saw that a connection point seemed to be a little loose, which was... a weak point that could cut off the power supply.
"Now..." Dai Shiya muttered in her heart, her eyes fixed on that weak point, and she took a deep breath, like a soldier about to charge into battle. She looked at the leader of the men in black, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, like a wise man who had grasped the key to victory. "The password is..."
