Chapter 1807: The Village Chief’s Backup Plan
The woman quieted down, but her eyes were filled with venomous hatred.
If they’d been willing to let the dog help her just now, she wouldn’t have had to be injured this badly before she could bring the man down.
Just as the woman was seething with hatred, the man’s mother burst out of the crowd and ran straight to the man lying on the ground.
The man’s breathing was already weak, his hands were bitten bloody in several places, his face was covered in wounds, blood was still flowing from his forehead, and there was a big gash at the back of his head—he looked utterly miserable.
"You cheap bitch!" The old woman lunged at the woman, who cried out in fear, "Help me!"
Xiangxiang ignored her.
A Seventh Captain team member said quietly, "She’s the only one willing to testify."
Xiangxiang was silent for a moment. "Let it loose."
The Seventh Captain team member ordered the shepherd dog to rush forward. The old woman was also afraid of this dog that could bite a wolf to death and didn’t dare charge ahead again, but the woman seemed to have found backing; she turned and rushed at the old woman instead, swinging the shovel in her hand without mercy. "This is for you beating me all the time, for you yelling at me! I’ll beat you to death!"
Xiangxiang frowned in displeasure. "Someone like her—really worth it?"
The Seventh Captain team member also fell silent, but he didn’t call the shepherd dog back.
Xiangxiang tried to find another person willing to testify, speaking to the women of the village: "Every single person here is guilty. They didn’t just strip you of your freedom and force you to have children, they’ve done all kinds of monstrous things. There’s no way they’re walking out of this alive. The law will punish them. You will be able to leave here with your children, as long as you stand up and testify against them."
The women remained silent, only clutching their children tightly.
Xiangxiang was bitterly disappointed.
The village chief’s eyes flickered. From Xiangxiang’s words he could hear that besides taking the women away, they had also learned other things.
In that case, these people... could forget about leaving the village alive!
The village chief’s gaze turned vicious as he looked toward a patch of shrubs.
He’d committed too many unspeakable crimes and had been prepared for a long time, knowing that one day someone would come for him; he just hadn’t expected this many people.
In the shrubs were the village’s elites, as well as the people planted there by those "others" to provide support in the village.
When they had to move those "goods," sometimes they needed to operate on the spot—these were all skilled hands.
Catching the village chief’s look, the young men in the shrubs rushed out, each of them holding the latest Weapons in their hands, grenades hanging on their bodies.
Xiangxiang was startled.
A Seventh Captain team member frowned. "Looks like this just got tricky."
The leader on the police side darkened. "The Weapons in their hands are very advanced, not from our country."
The commander on the military side looked even grimmer. "Even we can’t get guns this good. Yet this nothing-special little village seems to lack nothing. This is going to be a tough fight. Everyone, stay sharp!"
A new recruit asked, "Do the spoils belong to us?"
"You little punk, you’re still thinking about that at a time like this." The commander narrowed his eyes. "Fine. Whatever you take down is yours."
"Then what are we waiting for! Brothers, move!"
The troops had already charged forward to spearhead the attack, while the police, weighed down by concerns, did not advance.
Xiangxiang was helpless. They’d agreed to follow her lead—how could they just act on their own?
In the shrubs, a sniper was already in position, aiming at the target—Xiangxiang!
Xiangxiang didn’t sense anything wrong, but the dog in the Seventh Captain team member’s hand suddenly started barking, vicious and fierce.
The Seventh Team Captain immediately sensed something was off. The dog, impossible to calm, was barking madly toward the shrubs. The Seventh Captain team member frowned, crouched down, and cupped the Dog Head of another dog that was quiet but trembling, as if trying to sense something. Suddenly, he cried out, "Alert! There should be a sniper nearby!"
