第136章 "Midnight Breakout"

**136章：「权力的游戏，权力之战—暗夜的转折」(The Game of Power, Battle for Power—Midnight Turn)**

Zhao Ti's eyes sparkled with determination as he gazed at the map. They had to get out of this predicament before it was too late. He turned to his teammates, his voice low and urgent.

"Alright, let's move out. We need to find a way to escape and regroup. We can't stay here and risk getting caught."

Lin Feng nodded, his eyes scanning the surrounding area. "I agree. But we need to be careful. Our pursuers won't stop until they catch us."

"Agreed," Zhao Ti said, his hand resting on the grip of his rifle. "Let's move out in pairs. We'll keep a low profile and try to lose them in the jungle."

The team nodded and began to move out, their footsteps quiet in the darkness. Zhao Ti led the way, his senses on high alert. They had to be careful not to make any noise, not to attract attention.

As they navigated the dense foliage, they suddenly heard the sound of breaking branches. Zhao Ti spun around, his heart racing. What was that?

Lin Feng crept up beside him, his face set in a grim expression. "Looks like we've got company."

Zhao Ti's eyes narrowed. "Let's get ready. We don't know what we're up against."

The sound of rustling leaves grew louder, and then a figure emerged from the darkness. It was a mercenary, his face twisted with a cruel grin.

"Well, well, well. Look what we have here," the mercenary sneered. "A little team of rebels, all alone in the jungle."

Zhao Ti's hand tightened around his rifle. This was it. This was the moment they had been preparing for.

"Let's take him out," Lin Feng whispered, his eyes locked on the mercenary.

But before they could react, a second figure appeared from the shadows. This one was even more menacing, his eyes cold and calculating.

"Ah, but I think we can make this a little more interesting," the second mercenary said, his voice dripping with malice. "Why don't we make a little wager? If our side wins, you get to leave with your lives. But if you lose... well, let's just say it won't be a pleasant experience."

Zhao Ti's eyes flashed with anger. This was a trap, pure and simple. But he knew they couldn't back down now.

"Alright, we're in," he said, his voice steady. "But we're not going down without a fight."

The mercenary grinned, his eyes glinting with excitement. "Oh, I think we're going to have a lot of fun tonight."

And with that, the battle began.
