Chapter 426: The Final Counterattack_3

It was a figure that charged out from a corner of the hall, an illusion that had yet to begin to dissipate.

Lawrence and all the sailors' eyes were instantly drawn to the figure.

He was not a soldier but a young man who looked like a military engineer, dressed in dark blue coarse work attire and wearing a slanted cap that had been popular half a century ago, with a large wrench hanging from his belt alongside a pistol and ammo pouch.

He charged toward the trench, toward the explosives left behind by the second demolition team, and then, holding a wooden crate filled with explosives, he hurriedly climbed toward the Thorn Gate.

In that moment, Lawrence almost thought he was going to succeed.

However, a bullet flew in, and the young man was struck on the shoulder as if hammered by an iron fist, his body jolting violently before falling a few meters from the Thorn Gate.

The hall seemed to quiet instantaneously.

The final counterattack was over.
