The Marshal's Wife is Wild-Chapter 53 - 52 Enemies on a Narrow Path

“Who knows what Yong was thinking; just keep watch,” the other guard said, equally baffled.

Qu Tong had tried using her light computer as soon as she was brought in but there was no signal.

It was no wonder they only allowed for transfers and did not confiscate the light computers.

It was not until nightfall that a loud noise erupted!

Startled, the two men who were napping on the ground stood up abruptly, “What’s going on?”

“Don’t know. An attack? Or did one of the tunnels collapse?”

“You stay here, I’ll go check it out.”

“Sure, call me if there’s trouble.”

One of them got up and left, leaving the other stretching his neck to look outside.

Only when the man was far enough away did the remaining guard sit down.

But no sooner had he sat down than a vine struck him unconscious; the vine deftly hooked a bunch of keys from his pocket and also took the space button from the man’s wrist back to the room.

As the door opened, Qu Tong naturally took the space button handed to her by the vine, not even looking at it as she tossed it into her own space button.

She crept out into the night, heading in the direction the man had left.

The mining tunnel was a twisty maze with many forks, but Qu Tong moved with unwavering certainty, hardly ever pausing.

If there was enough light to see properly, one would notice that amidst the gravel and dirt, small seeds were sprouting green shoots.

Perhaps due to the commotion outside, there weren’t many people in the tunnel. Qu Tong spread her spiritual power and easily circumvented anyone before they could notice her.

As she was about to approach the exit at a fork, the presence of someone at the junction made Qu Tong pause.

Enemies often cross paths.

Little Huangmao stood alone in a corner, apparently doing something over a table missing a corner.

After Qu Tong confirmed there was no one else around with her spiritual power, she knocked him to the ground, not giving him a chance to react, and then stepped on his shoulder, pulling out a rope from her space to bind him.

“Hiss—who’s there? Who is it? Ah wuwuwu—”

Little Huangmao started with a pain-filled scream, then a roar, and finally could only whimper.

Because Qu Tong had gagged his mouth with the rough rope.

After finishing the binding, she noticed that Little Huangmao had been counting Energy Stones on the table.

Compared to the large Energy Stones Gong Yun had given her, these stones were mere fragments, the largest only half the size of a fist, and filled with impurities.

By this time, Huangmao had also recognized Qu Tong, his eyes widening in shock, forgetting to make a sound for a moment.

Under Huangmao’s gaze, Qu Tong swept all the remnants of the Energy Stones from the table into her space button, as if delivering a blow to the heart.

“Awoo woo!” Huangmao immediately started struggling vigorously.

Qu Tong cracked a smile and, without another word, knocked him out cold.

Just then, a noise came from inside, and Qu Tong kicked up a rope from the ground and dragged the person into an alleyway to hide.

No sooner had they turned into it than they ran into someone else.

Both were momentarily stunned.

“What are you doing here? Aren’t you their leader? Why are you sneaking around?” Qu Tong was the first to speak.

“I came to find you. This place might collapse, so follow me out first, we can talk about other things later.”

Wen You grabbed Qu Tong’s hand with one hand and hoisted up Huangmao, who was almost tied up like a zongzi, then started heading out.

Qu Tong actually wanted to say there was no need to bring this burden, but Wen You was moving too quickly for her to get a word in.

At the doorway, they encountered a few Star Thieves.

“Sister Lin?” The Star Thieves reacted quickly, and upon seeing Qu Tong, they realized something was wrong: “She’s got problems…”

Before the Star Thief could finish speaking, Wen You was already on the move.

Qu Tong wasn’t idle either; taking a corner piece of Energy Stone from the space, she quietly infused it with a bit of spiritual power and threw it at the leg of someone trying to escape and give away their position.

Accompanied by a scream of “Ah”, the fleeing person fell to the ground.

Wen You sidestepped the attack from one person and countered with a kick, toppling the attacker to the ground, then quickly moved forward to deal with the person Qu Tong had knocked down.

As soon as Qu Tong lowered her hand, she sensed someone behind her and leaned back to dodge before the gun could fire. The bullet grazed her cheek, drawing a thin line of blood before embedding deeply into the wall.

With a swift kick, Wen You sent the gun flying, accompanied by the sound of bones breaking.

Almost instantly, a military dagger swiftly sliced across the neck of the assailant.

“Are you alright?” Wen You quickly ran over, concerned.

Qu Tong wiped her face with her sleeve: “I’m fine.”

Still feeling a bit guilty, Wen You knew that Qu Tong was capable of handling herself, she had taken out most of the people up front, thinking that Qu Tong could easily deal with one or two. However, she hadn’t expected they would turn their guns on her from behind.

Wen You pulled a box of ointment from the Space Button and handed it to Qu Tong.

Qu Tong took it but didn’t use it immediately and said, “Let’s get out first.”

“All right.”

Wen You once again hoisted Huangmao from the ground with one hand.

Qu Tong: “…”

Following Wen You outside, Qu Tong saw that a flying vehicle had already been parked on the clearing, its doors open and the boarding ramp lowered.

It was larger than the one she had bought, capable of carrying around ten people—it was a medium-sized vehicle and not cheap.

Once aboard the flying vehicle, Wen You tossed Huangmao onto the floor.

There was also another person lying on the ground. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than the guy carrying the laser cannon.

Wen You then went back and blew up the entrance to the mine shaft, faced Qu Tong’s puzzled look, and explained, “The place was full of Star Thieves. All the abducted people have been arranged for evacuation.”

Next, Wen You pulled the pin out of a small metal ball and placed it on the ground. A trail of silver light silently shot into the sky. Turning to Qu Tong, she said, “Keep an eye on them for me here, Tong. Our people will be here soon. Xiong Lie is still inside; I need to go back him up.”

“Okay.” Qu Tong didn’t ask any more questions.

Wen You handed over the military dagger she carried with her and the handgun she had just taken from the Star Thieves to Qu Tong, giving her a few instructions before heading back down.

The lights of the flying vehicle illuminated the surroundings. Perhaps because of the earlier commotion, some of the lights on the ground were also lit up, making visibility quite good.

Huangmao, tossed by Wen You, showed signs of waking up. Qu Tong simply stepped forward and gave him a kick to fully rouse him, and then untied the hemp rope from his mouth to ask him something.

The moment Huangmao woke up, he tried to shout, but Qu Tong preemptively slapped him on the head to cut him off.
