Chapter 46: The Gallows of the Soul

"Captain Ji, Captain Ji, it's here, you can get off." I don't know how long it took, but we were all woken up by a very soft voice at the same time. Don't look at me and Captain Ji Yunkai slept very deeply, and never woke up once in the bumps of more than 370 kilometers (maybe I woke up, but I didn't form a memory, which means that I didn't wake up), but the young man named Long Zhan's very soft voice sounded like thunder to me and Captain Ji Yunkai, just like a student with very poor grades sleeping in a noisy class, if you scream, or even push, it may not be able to wake him up, but if a naughty ghost said softly to him: The teacher is here, Perhaps he would wake up immediately, as the sound disrupted the momentary dynamic equilibrium he had formed. Of course, this is also a necessary skill for a good secret agent, and this "skill" is also shared by ordinary people, but it is not as sensitive as us.

We were indeed exhausted, and from half past eleven last night to eleven o'clock this morning, we have been in a state of high tension, first swimming twelve nautical miles in the vast sea, which is a distance of more than 20 kilometers! When we were about to be exhausted, we ran into the king of the seas, the shark, and exhausted the last of our strength in the life-and-death struggle with it. Even though we had just eaten some quick food in the car, it was far from enough to alleviate our severe physical deficit. However, as soon as we wake up, we have to immediately adjust to the state of being ready to fight, in fact, we only have these two states: fighting and preparing to fight. We're not street thugs who have the power to get down on our knees and beg for mercy. Of course, we have no power to fail, once we fail, it will definitely mean the end of life, and our name will also be nailed to the gallows of the soul, and even have the power to enter the night dark "god list", because the loss we have brought to the motherland and the people is immeasurable, and we should be punished like that, although we have tried our best, and even paid the price of our lives, but that must not be a reason to excuse ourselves, because we are engaged in a profession that is based on success or failure. We have no choice. Therefore, it is destined that we must show 100% perseverance and courage to achieve it, even at the cost of our lives. This is our sacred mission.

When we got out of the car, we found that the car had been parked in the courtyard of a rather magnificent detached villa. The yard covers a lot of land, there is actually a small swimming pool, and there is an unlicensed high-end off-road vehicle of no name parked at the door, just by looking at its appearance, you know that it is expensive. The main body of the villa is quite chic, giving people the feeling of a Western Christian church, but the exterior decoration is much more luxurious than the church. The yard is surrounded by flowers and plants, no need to ask, the owner of this house must be a person who loves life. Inside, we feel more like entering paradise, and it is estimated that domestic five-star hotels cannot achieve this effect.

In the main hall, there are antique mahogany furniture, and in the middle sits an elegant old man with a pair of reading glasses on the tip of his nose, which looks very amiable.

"Brother Wang, this is the patriotic overseas Chinese businessman Mr. Ouyang that I often mention to you." He took a few more steps, smiled and introduced us to the old gentleman: "Uncle Ouyang, these two gentlemen want to see your collection. ”

Mr. Ouyang also stood up, greeted us affectionately, and motioned for us to sit casually. The old gentleman was very excited, and he was like most overseas Chinese, although he had lived abroad for many years, he had a deep affection for the motherland, and now he suddenly saw us, and in their eyes he must be relatives, and the excitement was not difficult to understand. Their ancestors were forced to leave their homeland to escape war or hunger, relying on the fine accumulation of hard-working and simple, hard-working and resentful nations, through the hard work of several generations, they broke out of an enviable world, where can ordinary people think of the blood and tears and hardships! Even so, once there is a need in the country, they will not hesitate to give generously and do their best to support the great cause of liberation and rejuvenation of our nation as much as possible. And what about the corrupt officials who have fled? I won't say it here, they have no other effect than disgusting our pure souls. They can only hide in Tibet like rats, risking the danger of their wives and daughters being raped one by one, and drowning in a mixed corner to avoid the judgment of the righteous forces in the country! They have only one end: they will be thrown into the streets like wild dogs, ruthlessly shoveled into the garbage heap, and returned to the embrace of nature's cycle, while the filthy soul will huddle outside the palace of Yan Jun in trembling and terrified to accept the final judgment of being reincarnated as a cockroach.

This amiable overseas Chinese businessman, Mr. Ouyang, did not have too much trouble with us, he obviously knew our "true intentions" in advance, and he just used our tired journey as an excuse to let us rest first and appreciate the collection later. Patriotic overseas Chinese like Mr. Ouyang are very willing to do something for the motherland and the people, and they do not ask for anything in return. It is through this special way that they maintain flesh-and-blood ties with the mainland, this is our descendants of Huaxia, and this is the descendants of our dragon.

Long Zhan led us to a very secluded basement, and I knew he was going to discuss with us a plan of action for tonight, and by the way to check the necessary operational "equipment".

Although we were mentally prepared, we were still shocked by this basement: where is this basement, it is simply a small arsenal! The walls were surrounded by all kinds of hot and cold weapons, and there were four large nanmu chests on the ground, presumably small things like grenades. One of the things that impressed me the most was the extra-long sniper rifle. It is the second largest semi-automatic sniper rifle in the sniper rifle family, the M197. It is developed and produced by Barrett Company in M country, with a total weight of 5.1 kg, a sniper length of 1.35 meters, a 15-round magazine feed, capable of firing 50 caliber ammunition, and equipped with two tripods, which can maximize shooting accuracy and minimize recoil, while its ten-shot semi-automatic firing capability allows the shooter to fire continuously to lock on to a target. It can achieve precision strikes at up to 2,300 meters, and the gun was originally owned by the bomb disposal unit to defuse home-made bombs at low cost. The gun is equipped with a 15x optical sight or a 20x infrared electronic sight and can fire a wide range of 12.5mm ammunition. In addition, it can be fitted with a small gun mask to reduce the muzzle flare and reduce the chance of sniper exposure. The gun has been rated as one of the ten greatest scientific and technological inventions of the Army by the Command of Country M. It's a sniper's dream weapon. This weapon must have been bought from the black market, and it is conservatively estimated that it will cost more than $50,000.

Seeing it, my blood boiled, as if I had returned to the depths of those bloody and tearing forests, and those iron-blooded shots once again stimulated my hot-blooded nature. But this time, no matter how good the guns are, they won't be used! This time we are going to save people, not to kill, and what we need is small weapons in close combat, mainly cold weapons, to reduce noise and exposure.

Long Zhan opened a slightly smaller Nanmu box, which contained some communication equipment, infrared equipment and climbing ropes, especially this kind of special rope, which is not something that can be bought casually on the market, just like the kind that Captain Ji and I tied around our waists to save our lives when we crossed the sea, which was very strong, and the bearing capacity of a single strand could reach more than 650 kilograms. What I never expected was that there would be four cold and shining weapons lying inside, and the signature melee combat weapons of Captain Ji Yunkai and me would be in the box, mine is two eighteen-centimeter military thorns, plus arm sleeves, needless to say, the captain's weapon was also inspired by me, it is a pair of twenty-two centimeter-long double-edged hooks, like a lowercase "F" to remove the middle horizontal, but it is double-edged, both inside and outside are blades, it can easily hook the opponent's throat, If necessary, it can also be inserted into the opponent's body like lightning, mincing and hooking out his internal organs. They are also attached to the base of the arm in hand-to-hand combat, and like I use, they are made of tungsten steel, which is extremely hard and can be used to block heavy attacks from opponents in times of crisis. Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages to this weapon: the advantage is that the attack is flexible, lightning fast, which catches the opponent by surprise, and it is less likely to be knocked away by the opponent and fall into a desperate situation with bare hands, and it is important that they can free their hands and do more things, such as the use of the pistol without affecting the use of the pistol; The disadvantage is that it can't instantly get out of its hands like bricks, increase the attack distance, and kill opponents who are farther away, if it gets out, it needs the cooperation of the other hand, which is about 0.3 seconds slower, such a short time is not much difference for ordinary people, but for super agents like us, the difference is big, that is the moment to rewrite the death list! From this point of view, the above attaches great importance to this rescue operation, and even passed over all the drawings of our weapons and secretly built them to ensure that nothing goes wrong. In this way, the pressure on me and Captain Ji Yunkai is unprecedented.

The three of us "heretics" from other countries have studied the rescue plan in detail, down to every small point and small step, which is not a country after all, and it is easy to fall into passivity when acting in a completely unfamiliar environment. After the rescue plan was thoroughly studied, we debugged all the necessary communication, positioning and infrared equipment to ensure absolute reliability, and we also prepared ID cards and bank cards for each person in case of emergency. When it was over, Long Zhan led us to a small guest room upstairs and told us to rest first, and he went out to arrange related matters.

It is now about five o'clock in the afternoon, that is to say, three hundred and seventy kilometers away, we traveled for about five and a half hours, an average of more than seventy points, which is very necessary, our vehicles must be integrated into the middle of the vast traffic flow to be safe, once the east window incident, someone to look at the traffic situation in the past few days, those vehicles on the highway will definitely enter the sight of others first, will cause endless trouble. Captain Ji Yunkai and I were just about to go to bed to rest, recuperate and prepare for tonight's top-secret operation, when Long Zhan came in again, holding two large bowls in his left hand and a large soup basin in his right hand, with an apologetic face.

"I'm sorry, I can't treat you to a good meal, let's just take a bite first. I'll have a treat another day. He put his things on the cabinet next to him, turned and went out again.

Captain Ji Yunkai and I couldn't sit still immediately, so we got out of bed immediately, and we needed to quickly replenish the deficit in our bodies. In that soup bowl is potato stew again, this is the best food to replenish energy as soon as possible! It seems that our Comrade Long Zhan still understands the needs of the body better. That's for sure, he himself is undoubtedly a person who is familiar with physical combat, which can be seen from his strong wrists, he can easily carry this nearly ten catties of beef stew from downstairs to upstairs with one hand, which is not something ordinary people can do!

Soon he came back again, with steamed buns in one hand and rice in the other, as if he was worried that we would not have enough to eat, and both utensils were full. Of course, Captain Ji Yunkai and I will not be polite, regardless of the image, we are also accumulating strength for this operation, there must be a chance to eat in the early hours of the evening, but at that time, we dare not eat more, eating too much will affect the play of combat effectiveness, so we must seize this rare opportunity to replenish energy, so that this tonight's operation will not affect the task due to lack of physical strength.

After eating, we immediately lay in bed, the time for action has been set at one o'clock in the morning, we have to get up at eleven o'clock to prepare, so that we have five hours to rest, it is very important that we keep our bodies in the best condition in order to cope with the complex and changeable special situation.
