1494 The strange disappearance (1)
A few prisoners surrounded him and blocked Tang Zhen’s possible escape route.
They were tall and muscular, and their skin was stained with sweat and dust.
The gazes that the few of them used to look at Tang Zhen were only cold and indifferent with killing intent. Their faces carried a Savage smile as they held iron hammers and steel drills in their hands and quickly surrounded Tang Zhen.
Without any unnecessary words, the prisoner walking right in front directly made his move. He waved his steel rod and smashed it towards Tang Zhen, bringing about a whistling wind.
The other party’s strength was extremely great, and the target was the head. Once hit, the skull would be directly shattered!
This was the rhythm of killing. They had no intention of leaving anyone alive from the beginning.
Clearly, the other party had already made up their mind to completely deal with Tang Zhen here. The best solution for a disobedient fellow was to turn him into a corpse.
After that, he could make it look like an accident and easily solve all the problems.
“Hurry up, let’s attack together!”
The leader of the prisoners launched an attack, and the rest of the prisoners also cooperated and surrounded him, ready to take the opportunity to finish him off and complete the task in the shortest time.
Relying on their numbers, they were already certain that Tang Zhen would not be able to escape death!
Who would have expected that the scene of Tang Zhen being knocked down did not appear. Instead, he easily dodged the incoming attack and kicked the prisoner who had attacked him.
At the same time the other party retreated due to the pain, a silent pistol suddenly appeared in Tang Zhen’s hand. He fired repeatedly at the prisoner beside him at an astonishing speed.
This type of pistol was not a traditional gunpowder weapon. It had a fast firing speed and strong penetrating power. It could easily kill a target without armor!
The prisoners didn’t even have time to scream before they were shot in the middle of their foreheads. They all fell to the ground with disbelief.
Even when they died, they could not understand what kind of weapon Tang Zhen was using and how he had brought it in.
In just a few seconds, the battle had already ended. Tang Zhen glanced at the corpses in the surroundings before keeping his weapon into the ball of light.
These corpses couldn’t be left here, and there wasn’t enough time to bury them. Tang Zhen could only keep them in the light ball and deal with them in the future.
Tang Zhen would only be able to get rid of his suspicion if they inexplicably ended up like this.
A minute later, Tang Zhen slowly walked out of the pit with an indifferent expression on his face. It was as if nothing had happened earlier.
Not far away, the prisoner who was in charge of keeping watch saw this and immediately showed a puzzled expression. He thought to himself, how is this kid still alive?
The leader sitting on the rock was even more livid. He couldn’t understand. They sent out five people and still couldn’t kill one. Were those guys all trash?
Or did they not take his orders seriously and did not do anything for some reason?
He had already said that he would not leave anyone alive, even if the other party compromised. Otherwise, how could he establish his prestige!
No, he had to ask them what they were up to later.
In the end, after waiting for a long time, he still didn’t see his men come out. This made the leader’s heart jump, and he quickly called his men to check.
Who would have thought that when the subordinate returned, he would be full of confusion and tell the leader that there was no one inside!
“No one? How is that possible?”
The leader turned pale with fright. He had just seen several of his men go in and not come out at all, so how could they not be there?
The subordinate guaranteed again and again that he was not lying. After all, the location was not very big, and he could see everything with a glance.
The leader didn’t give up. He personally ran over to take a look, and as expected, he didn’t see anything.
“Dammit, what’s going on? how could a few living people just disappear in broad daylight?”
The more the leader thought about it, the more panicked he became. He ordered his men to search carefully again. After confirming that there were no traces of burial or blood, he left in a hurry with a face full of unwillingness.
They didn’t find any buried bodies, which meant that they weren’t dead. Did they take the opportunity to escape?
This was not a small matter. The disappearance of several prisoners at once would definitely attract the investigation of the prison. He had to quickly tell his boss about this matter.
Now that the situation was out of his control, not only was the target he had to kill alive and well, but several of his men had also disappeared for no reason. He would inevitably be scolded when he returned.
Not mentioning the chief who was burning with anxiety, Tang Zhen wobbled back to the crowd and continued to wave his hammer and smash the stones.
The prisoners next to him looked at him with strange eyes. They had thought that he would be a corpse when they saw him again. Who would have expected him to be safe and sound?
What was going on? could it be that he had made an agreement with the leader of the prisoners, so he was able to keep his life?
This wasn’t impossible, but looking at the attitude of those guys just now, it didn’t look like a negotiation at all.
Although they were full of doubts, the prisoners knew that it was best not to inquire about things that had nothing to do with them, or they might get into trouble!
After some time, there was a sudden commotion. A group of heavily armed guards suddenly appeared and gathered all the prisoners together.
The prisoners looked at each other, not understanding what was going on, but they still obediently put down their tools and were driven to the designated location.
In the middle of the empty field, the gathered prisoners squatted on the ground, surrounded by stern-looking guards. As the roll call was made, the prisoners got up and left one by one.
When the last prisoner stood up, the head warden’s face was as dark as water. He looked down at the surroundings coldly.
He had just received a report that the prisoner that the guards were in charge of had disappeared, and it was very likely that he had escaped.
The head Warden was furious and rushed to the mine. Such a thing had not happened for several years. If the outside world knew about it, he would lose all his face.
From the roll call just now, it was confirmed that the prisoners were not here. Although the head Warden was furious, he still issued orders.
The first was to determine the escape route of the prisoners and send more people to pursue them. In such a short time, they could not have run far.
at the same time, they also had to investigate the last contact of these prisoners. perhaps they could get useful information from them, which could help the guards lock down the traces of the prisoners.
In addition, he also had to find the prisoner’s boss. These guys were all his subordinates. Something had happened to his underlings, so he had to give him an explanation!
Because of the disappearance of these prisoners, the original work was temporarily suspended. Prisoners were constantly summoned into the rooms in the mine to be interrogated about the missing prisoners.
Not long after, Tang Zhen was called into the room.
There was more than one prisoner who had proven that the few missing people had made contact with Tang Zhen in the end. Therefore, he had now become the biggest suspect.
As soon as he entered the room, Tang Zhen saw the warden sitting on a chair. Several Spirit Master level robbers were also looking at him with scrutinizing eyes.
you’ve been in contact with the missing prisoners. What did they say to you? ”
Tang Zhen naturally replied to the head warden’s question,”They wanted to escape and wanted to take me with them. I didn’t agree. That’s all!”
why are they looking for you? you knew they were going to escape, so why didn’t you report it immediately? ”
I don’t know why they’re looking for me. I was planning to report to the guards after work, but they ran away so quickly!
Tang Zhen revealed a helpless expression, indicating that he was also very innocent.
The warden sized up Tang Zhen with a gloomy gaze for a while. Then, he asked a few more questions, but he didn’t get what he wanted.
A few of the constables also asked a few questions. Tang Zhen insisted that the other party only wanted to take him away and knew nothing else.
A few minutes later, Tang Zhen walked out of the room and passed by the prisoner leader who was walking towards him. The other party looked at Tang Zhen coldly and said in a low voice,”Kid, I know it was you. This isn’t over!”
It was as though Tang Zhen did not hear him as he slowly returned to his prisoner cell. When he turned around, a mocking smile was revealed on his face.
Seeing this, the head prisoner’s expression became gloomier.
