33. Borrow
Zuo Lin knew that such a situation was a bit troublesome to explain. Originally, he planned to hand over the two panda cubs to the research center, so he forcibly left regardless of it. He believed that no one would be able to stop him, and he also believed that the matter would be a good outcome anyway, even if the Public Security Bureau, the Forestry Bureau, and the National Security Bureau had doubts about his role in it, it would not be too serious. Since both the public security and national security sides already know how Zuo Lin behaved in Song Tao's company, it must be difficult to ask about the details of how he recaptured the two pandas.
However, it is very unbearable to be suspicious like this. Zuo Lin looked back, and the bearded ranger looked arrogant.
Seeing that Zuo Lin didn't seem to be injured, the ranger seemed to be very dissatisfied, and scolded: "Dare to touch the national treasure, I don't want to live." You ****** have a few lives that can be shot!" he said, slamming the butt of his rifle again.
"Lao Li, don't!" an old man who hurriedly ran out of the research center shouted to stop him. But this ranger, known as Lao Li, had no intention of stopping.
Zuo Lin is not a person with a good temper who can let others fight him without fighting back. He reached out and grabbed the shotgun, as light as a ranger had placed it in his hand. As he shook, the ranger, who was clutching his gun, was shaken off by the centrifugal force and fell headfirst to the ground.
The staff of a nearby research center hurriedly stepped forward to grab the ranger, but the result was that the two of them were planted on the ground together. A neat, brand-new stack of dollars slipped out of the huge tool pocket of the ranger's khaki pants.
"No...... It's not ......" The dollar attracted everyone's attention and the muzzle of the gun in the hand of the armed police, and the ranger's face was full of horror, and he wanted to explain but couldn't hold back a word. Although the special research funds handled by the research center every year are very coveted among all national research institutions in the country, the income of the staff of the research institute is not high. This dollar is worth more than two years of income for an ordinary forest ranger.
Zuo Lin snorted coldly and said, "The little guy borrowed me to play for two days, and I don't feel at ease if I hand it over to you now." ”
Not caring about the insulted expressions of the people around him, Zuo Lin glanced at the old man who was standing not far away and was a little unkind, it seemed that there was some familiar aura on this old man's body. Zuo Lin didn't think much about it, and jumped away from the ground with a snort, jumping into the woods. Although he doesn't have the skills and speed of Li Xu, if he doesn't take the avenue, it is impossible for these ordinary people to catch up with him. His movements were swift and sudden, and although those armed police soldiers tried to stop them, they had no chance at all. They didn't even have time to turn their guns.
"No need to chase. Report the situation. The old man waved his hand, as if to brush away the troubles brought to him by a day that made people's hearts flutter, "The research center is completely closed. Inform the province to send another person into the mountain to verify the number of pandas. The interior is carefully inspected and counted for me. No one is allowed to contact the outside world without permission. ”
The old man looked at the ranger Lao Li, who was still lying on the ground, with disdain, and said, "Take him in." ”
It is always easier to storm a fortress from the inside. The old man was a little sad, but he did not lose his judgment.
The borrowed panda cub soon began to get a little restless. I guess I'm starting to get hungry. Zuo Lin immediately began to have a headache, what kind of anger did he gamble just now, honestly handed over the panda cub to the research center, and now he doesn't have to worry about it. And now...... Since I have borrowed it, I simply brought it back to Shanghai and let Yan Yingxue play with it for a few days.
The road back to Yingxiu from the research center has already been run once, and the return journey has become boring. Although he had a general understanding of the smugglers' arrangements, Zuo Lin did not run along the road, vainly hoping to intercept on the road. On a flat surface, the chance of two freely moving points colliding tends to zero. He didn't know when the other party would leave, and he couldn't judge the speed and distance of the other party, but he knew the other party's destination, so what could be easier than rushing back to Yingxiu as quickly as possible and then waiting for the rabbit?
Holding a panda cub in his arms was too eye-catching, and when he finally returned to the vicinity of Yingxiu after running for most of the day, Zuo Lin stuffed the two hungry little guys into his backpack. He rushed into a convenience store and swept up a large pile of milk, puree, compressed biscuits, carrots, salad dressing, and two bottles of Zencun. After renting a fully equipped room like a lightning bolt, he quickly called up a nutritious meal for the panda cubs. The two panda cubs have been under the meticulous care of the staff of the breeding center and research center since birth, and most of the babies have not been taken care of so carefully - at least, there will be no family to take care of the babies and there will be someone on duty in three shifts at all times - this half of the day of starvation is something that has never happened to the two little ones. A "nutritious meal" mixed with a lot of stuff may not challenge the appetite for humans, but the endurance for nausea, nausea, vomiting, and other instinctive behaviors, and for these two hungry little guys, it can be considered delicious in any case.
"Zuo Lin?" used the newly bought mobile phone and rush card, dialed Yan Beisai's private mobile phone, and the first thing that came was Ye Yilan's timid voice. Maybe I'm not used to speaking on behalf of Tsubame Hokusai. "Hokusai has been waiting for the phone call for a long time, and he fell asleep just now, do you want to wake him up to listen to the phone?"
"No, no, is Jin Xiaohua or Han Li here? Just let them pick it up. Zuo Lin hurriedly said. No matter how good his body is, he will be 90 years old, and if he sleeps and wakes up again, he may not be in good spirits for many days.
"Wait a minute. Xiaohua is in. Ye Yilan hurriedly handed over the phone to Jin Xiaohua.
"Zuo Lin, where are you now?" Jin Xiaohua's voice was a little eager.
"In Yingxiu. How is Xu Weidong's situation there?" Zuo Lin asked.
Jin Xiaohua replied quickly: "The situation is a bit complicated. Chen Jianzong has been picked up and is now in Chengdu. It's a little late to know that Yingxiu has someone to answer the matter. The public security side of Dujiangyan City accidentally leaked the news, and now the people in Dujiangyan City are already confronting the people of the public security and national security side. The special forces and local police sent to Yingxiu are not fully deployed, so it's best if you're there. I'll let you get in touch with you. …… There is another wave of people on the other side, who seems to have taken away two panda cubs, do you know about this?"
Zuo Lin smiled and said, "The two little ones are here with me, feeding them." I wanted to return it to the research center, but they had a bad attitude, so they simply borrowed it for a few days to play. ”
"It doesn't seem realistic for you to bring it back for a few days, don't you bring your camera with you? Jin Xiaohua's tone could almost see the excited expression in her eyes. Cute things are still very lethal for young women.
Zuo Lin didn't say anything, still just laughing. ended the call with Jin Xiaohua, all he had to do was wait for Xiao to contact him.
It's impossible not to bring a camera. After coming into contact with the council's documents, Zolin discovered that the most popular profession in the Druid Council was that of a photographer. Especially the guys in the Operations Division who belong to him according to the division of labor in the council, the job that can best disguise their identities is the photographer who runs around. There are no less than 30 people in the entire Druid Council who work for major photo agencies, and 9 of them are the core photographers of National Geographic - this explains one of Zuo Lin's original doubts: some of the photos in National Geographic Magazine seem impossible to be taken by ordinary people, and those animals will never tolerate humans getting so close, but if it is a druid, let alone taking pictures closely, even if they pull and fight for a while, it is not uncommon. And Yan Hokusai's statement is more affordable, bring a full-featured digital camera and don't take up any space, run all day long to those places that ordinary people can't go, take a few pictures casually, any skills will not be good photos, the right to use the photos is sold to newspapers and magazines, how good is it to earn some money to supplement the family?
However, the photos are not as fun as the real panda cubs. Zuo Lin really had the idea of bringing these two little guys back to Shanghai.
After talking to Xiao Xiao, Zuo Lin finally understood how big this matter is now. Both the Giant Panda Breeding Center in Chengdu and the Giant Panda Research Center in Wolong have begun a comprehensive internal investigation. In Dujiangyan City, more than 200 military and police officers were mobilized to surround the guest house, and negotiations were being held on whether to storm or besiege it. More than 40 police officers and a number of special forces fighters temporarily mobilized from nearby garrisons are rushing to Yingxiu. Highway checks have been intensified, and a regional blockade of the nearby road network is also under way. Due to the total lockdown of the research centre, verification of all wild panda populations was carried out by a communications company, including four helicopters, and the final results should be available soon due to the excellent equipment. It must be said that because the Chinese people's preference for pandas and pandas have become more and more a symbol with political implications, as soon as the smuggling of pandas came out, it immediately alarmed all sides.
Zuo Lin's description of the Yingxiu and the contact point should be very valuable, at least it can save those military and police on the road from taking a lot of detours. In front of these people, Zuo Lin didn't want to show his ability, so it was better to hide aside and do some work to pick up the gaps.
After waiting for the two panda cubs to eat and drink, and seeing that it was almost night, Zuo Lin jumped out of the balcony with a bow and quiver, and galloped all the way towards the warehouse. Jumping from one building to the top of another and traversing the city like a glow of a phantasm is theoretically Spider-Man's job, but there are quite a few people who can do it. Within a few minutes, Zuo Lin had hidden his figure in the canopy of a tree near the warehouse.
The few people who answered in the warehouse were already preparing, looking a little nervous, but their actions were orderly. The van was already parked outside the warehouse, and looking at the car, it seemed to be loaded with a lot of things. The guy in the driver's seat smoked cigarette after cigarette, but he always held his phone in one hand, as if he was always on call. The other 3 people walked back and forth in the courtyard of the warehouse as if they were idling, but intentionally or unintentionally guarded the courtyard, isolating irrelevant people and vehicles from the courtyard, and ensuring that the door to the road in the courtyard warehouse was unobstructed at any time.
Zuo Lin waited quietly on the branch for about half an hour. He began to feel that someone around him was beginning to carefully unfold a siege of the warehouse. I guess the police have arrived. In order not to startle the snake, the car was parked a little far away, and the encirclement was a little sparse. However, it's almost the limit here. After all, it was already night, and it was too eye-catching for a large group of stout lads to gather together.
The deployment of the operation lasted about 10 minutes before it gradually quieted down. From this point alone, the level of these people sent can be called very high. Zuo Lin's mobile phone trembled slightly, and he quickly took it out to see that it was a short message sent to ask where he was. Zuo Lin only replied with three words: "It's in place." ”
The spell of the Spirit Armor Technique was recited again, and the blades attached to the body stretched into a delicate, beautiful, and incomparably lightweight green armor. It's not to protect anything, it's just to hide the figure. Although hidden in the canopy of trees, the contrast between the light blue shirt and the light khaki green pants and the thick and dark green was still a little large, and he didn't want to be exposed in front of dozens of nervous people with murder weapons around him. God knows if these people will shoot first and then confirm their identities regardless of the circumstances.
After about another hour, a whole row of headlights appeared at the end of the street, completely overpowering the brightness of the streetlights. The mighty convoy rushed almost directly into the yard, and more than a dozen cars crowded the entire yard at once. The first thing the man who jumped out of the car did was toss a couple of submachine guns at the few people who stayed here. The courtyard was immediately filled with a nervous noise.
"The gang in Dujiangyan City are finished, and they haven't been contacted for several hours. ”
"Xiao Xiao, what should I do then?"
"Your car has never shown its face, I, Lao Lu plus you drove to deliver the goods. All the way to the north, the other directions are probably dead. ”
"Lao Yu, a few of you come here, put the panda on this car, and bring a day's feed and water. ”
"The rest of the people are scattered on the spot, and the old local round is just that. The money will not be missing from you. ”
“…… Everyone, hurry up, eat, drink, and lazar for me to solve it quickly......"
"Ah Qiang, tip, you people in the car stayed, the police came and handed over the fire and dragged them for an hour, and then you surrendered, don't say anything. Make sure you get double money when you come out. ”
"Xiao Lou, Jiang Mi, a few of you evacuate this car, there are kayaks in it, and you people in this car are walking by water. ”
"Song Ling, you drive Pajero and set off first, and prepare things according to the order. Fast. Xiao Hang with you. ”
"Ah Huang, what about Ah Huang?...... Come over here and take this money. You drive back to Dujiangyan City, as well as Chengdu, to explore the wind, be careful. ”
…………
The guy known as Xiao Xiao stood in the middle of the crowd, pointing and shouting to assign everyone's tasks one by one. If you don't hear it with your own ears, you can hardly believe that these smugglers, outlaws, are actually organized and disciplined, some people are willing to stay and die, and those who receive orders immediately start running and executing without question, it is like a group of well-trained soldiers. And when Xiao Xiao knew that the situation was critical, he was not messed up at all, and he could be regarded as a character. It's a pity that such a character may die here today.
Zuo Lin felt the slightest fluctuation in the position of those police and special forces behind him. No matter how long you train, the excitement and trepidation, joy and worry in your heart cannot be hidden at the moment of receiving the order. This is the easiest time to feel a person, not to mention, there are far from so many people among these people who can restrain their feelings, and the murderous aura that rushes to the sky is like a toilet that uses essence but does not hide the smell, which makes Zuo Lin's brows furrow slightly.
