Given the current terrain, even if the police were to storm the mountain, it would be absolutely impossible for them to reach the summit and rescue the hostages in a short amount of time. By the time the police got there, Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli would have been killed over and over again.
"Huff huff huff!"
Tang Ming took a deep breath, lifted his head, and strode towards the mountain top without hesitation. Today's perilous encounter could be said to be the most dangerous one Tang Ming had ever faced. He didn't know whether he would make it through alive, but he silently vowed that even if he died in battle, he would ensure the safety of Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli.
Tang Ming treaded through the treacherous mountain paths, where, aside from the calls of nocturnal animals, there was no other noise. Tang Ming knew, however, that greater dangers than he had ever encountered lay ahead.
Half an hour later, Tang Ming finally arrived deep in the treacherous ravine.
