Chapter 10: The Top of the Storm 3
Inside the convenience store -
Xiao Zhang cried and said angrily: "It was because of me that night that the store manager lost his life!" β
Lloyd and Kathu listened quietly.
Xiao Zhang looked at the photo in his hand intently and said, "That night, a few disciples from Thunderstorm City came over, and I was responsible for refueling their cars. As a result, they also went into the convenience store to take things casually, and they didn't pay, and the store manager stopped them. When I saw how dare they behave, I grabbed a mop from the side and rushed up to scare them......"
Kathu was still searching for something useful in this small convenience store, and then said casually, "You're still a hero like this?!" β
Xiao Zhang lowered his head, stunned, and after a long while, he moved his chapped lips and said: "So I angered these scoundrels, they beat me viciously, the store manager couldn't stand it, so they shouted that they wanted to call the police, and as soon as those villains heard the threat to call the police, they all went up and beat the store manager to death." In such a barren mountain and wilderness, it is impossible for the police to arrive if they call the police for a while, and by the time the police arrive, the store manager is no longer good......"
Lloyd looked at Kathu and said, "Don't look for it, Xiao Zhang came to this gas station shop to stay here as a watchman, not to run it." β
Kathu stopped looking, really didn't want to leave without gain, and then walked in front of Xiao Zhang, and asked aggressively, "Then what do you rely on to survive?" And if you don't operate this broken gas station, that means we can't refuel?! β
Xiao Zhang shook his head helplessly and said: "There is no place to refuel within a radius of ten miles, although I have a rubber pipe to get the oil out of that pickup truck and pour it into your car, but then I can't leave here." What do I live on? I usually drive the pickup truck left by the store manager to the city to work as a waiter, and after paying my salary every month, I will come here to clean and tidy up. Hey......"
Kathu took out a bank card from his pocket and said generously to Xiao Zhang: "As long as you add this gas to us today, when we arrive in the city, I will give you this bank card, and I have the ability to restore the operation of this gas station, so that you can come back as a store manager!" β
Xiao Zhang's eyes widened in flattery, he couldn't believe the person in front of him, and his heart was drumming: "Who are these two sacred!?" But it seems that he is also a person who can be trusted. β
Lloyd patted Xiao Zhang and said with a smile: "Let me tell you, this big brother in front of you is very powerful!" And if you miss this opportunity, you really won't have any way to restore this convenience store and gas station. If you think about your meager salary, it would be nice to be able to pay for your car and back gas. The reason why you get paid and the things in this convenience store are still so old is because you only have enough money for gas in your pickup truck, because it's so far away and so remote! Am I right? β
Xiao Zhang couldn't help but open his mouth, dumbfounded, how could this man in front of him be like a god operator, he knew everything!?
"How? You have to know that if we want to steal the gas from your car, you can't stop it. It's just that we won't do it! Kathu glanced at the thin and small Zhang.
"Good...... Good! Xiao Zhang nodded in agreement.
At this time, I only heard a sharp sound of brakes coming from outside the convenience store, which sounded like two cars.
Lloyd quickly went to the door and looked out, only to see two black sedans parked there, and several men in black suits walked out.
Kathu's driver and protΓ©gΓ©s walked over to check on the situation, and the men in black suits pulled out their pistols at once.
"Bang! Bang! β¦β¦β
Lloyd quickly left the door, leaning against the wall next to the door, and Kathu heard the gunshots and prepared to rush out.
"They have guns! Are you looking for death!? Kathu was stopped by Lloyd.
Xiao Zhang had never seen such a situation, and the sound of gunfire had already frightened him to sit on the ground, unable to move, but his hands were still tightly grasping the shabby photo frame.
"Both of them have been killed! We've got to figure it out! Lloyd said to Kathu, trying to see if there was anything in the little poor convenience store that could be put together to fight, but the result was disappointing.
Lloyd had looked around as soon as he entered, and there were no windows or exits to leave.
"Bang! Bang bang! "The bullet passed through the dilapidated front entrance, shattering the glass and grazing the shelves in the convenience store, sending out sparks.
"Ahh Help me! Xiao Zhang held his head and shouted in panic and despair, only then did he realize what had happened, but he still sat there paralyzed.
"What a useless guy!" At the risk of being hit by a bullet, Kathu stepped in front of Xiao Zhang with an arrow step, picked up the thin little Zhang with his right hand, and then jumped next to Lloyd.
"I don't know how many people are outside, and we are closed inside, and there is nowhere to escape, they think we have guns, and for a while they may just be probing guns, and when they find out that we don't have guns to resist, it's over." Kathu tossed him aside and spoke to Lloyd about the situation.
Lloyd frowned, thinking about what to do......
I saw that Xiao Zhang reluctantly calmed down a little emotionally, and said tremblingly: "Actually, our convenience store still has a secret exit, behind the shelf......"
"You said it earlier!" Kathu rushed to the shelves and pulled them violently, and the shelves were knocked to the ground, revealing a small arched hole behind it, about 1 meter wide and high.
"This ...... Can this be called a dark tunnel!? Not a dog hole?! Kathu said as he looked at the narrow doorway in front of him, and then glanced at Xiao Zhang.
"How can there be such a big dog hole!? It's okay to pass, Xiao Zhang, you go first! Fast! Lloyd shouted, pushing Zhang.
The sound of bullets outside became more and more intense, and sparks from bullets flew inside the convenience store.
Xiao Zhang crawled to the door hole and drilled through.
Catou beckoned to Lloyd, who ran over as well, and the two of them passed over one after the other.
On the other side of the doorway is one of the cubicles in the toilet β a handicapped cubicle.
The disabled cubicle was locked, and Zhang opened the door of the locker, and all three of them went to the door of the toilet.
Lloyd picked up the mirror that had fallen on the ground when Xiao Zhang was dragged out by the driver, and quickly observed the situation outside through the mirror.
Since the killers in black suits were so focused on shooting at the door of the convenience store, no one noticed that there was a mirror reflecting the light in the toilet next door......
