Chapter Seventy-One: There's Still a Chance
This was a miss, and although a few partisans were killed, our main target was not among the people killed. And the parliamentarian should also die. This means that the bait has been bitten off, but the fish we want has not been caught. Maybe it's because we're too relaxed and wishful thinking that the wizard will have a day or two to prepare, but the fact is that the wizard starts working almost once he gets here, and it catches us off guard. It seems that they don't do this once or twice, they should be very experienced and quite skilled.
As I watched the police cars pass by one after another, it occurred to me that we might be able to catch up with the wizard. I think this way for two reasons, the first is that judging from the fact that they are following the convoy of parliamentarians, it is likely that they are staying not far from us. Second, they are now fleeing in the same direction as they came, most likely to change their cars and clothes and leave the city after returning. Although it is possible for them to leave here immediately, but now that we have missed on the road, now that there is any chance of catching up with them again, they should give it a try, after all, they have lost a lot of manpower by our sneak attack, and this is an opportunity.
I picked up the phone and informed Walker of my thoughts, asking him to have Odom contact his men to see if they could spot wizards around our foothold. A moment later, Walker's voice came over the phone, and our two cars were about to turn around at the next intersection, and Odom had already contacted his men and told them about the characteristics of the car that the guerrillas had driven away, and now there were already people paying attention to several roads connected to the highway.
Soon we made a U-turn at the junction and headed for the landing point, and after about ten minutes of walking, Walker and the others suddenly started to double jump and start pulling over. I asked him over the phone what was going on. He replied that Odom had prepared another car for us, which had now been seen by the guerrillas, as well as by those eyewitnesses on the road, and that the target was too big.
We pulled over, and a short time a business van drove up, the same one that picked us up that day. The two of us got out of the car and got into two trucks, and we all got into the van, and Odom was still the driver.
When we got to the van, Odom threw us a pack of civilian clothes for us to change into. As I changed my clothes, I said to Walker, "There must be quite a few people here in the guerrillas who are staring at this councilor, otherwise the wizard wouldn't have come and started immediately." If we find them, we must be careful. ”
Walker nodded and said, "I'm afraid that the wizard will choose to go out of the city directly." ”
This is also what I am worried about, if the wizard goes out of the city, then it will be like a fish in the sea, and when we meet again, it will probably be a jungle again.
The highway back had been closed and Odom took us on a detour. As he approached the place where he had been on the highway, Odom received a call. He told us after a brief newsletter that one of his men had spotted several people who could be wizards as described.
Odom quickly drove the car to the address provided by his men, slowed down at an intersection and said, "My man is talking about the street ahead. ”
Walker and I looked at each other and immediately asked everyone to check all the weapons and ammunition. Odom drove slowly down the side of the road into the street. At the moment there are not many people on this street, and there are few cars. From time to time, we watched the parked cars on both sides and the people standing or walking by, hoping to find the target. But we didn't see anyone suspicious until we reached the end of the road.
"Odom, are you sure you're taking the wrong path?" Walker asked, a little depressed.
Odom glanced at Walker disapprovingly and said, "Of course not. Do you think I'm a foreigner like you? ”
I saw that Walker was about to open his mouth to fight back, and immediately interjected, "Let's go back and see." They are unlikely to be able to stand on the road, and the car may not be parked at their foothold, but it is likely that they will park the car in a secluded place after putting people down for safety, as if Odom had asked us to change cars. ”
"Okay. Now that's all there is to it. Walker reluctantly agreed, and Odom turned the car around and walked back.
I hadn't gone far back when I suddenly saw a man walk out of a staircase on the side of the street. I couldn't see the color of the man's long hair, because he was wearing a hat. I just felt that the action he went downstairs seemed familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
I immediately looked back at Walker and said, "I seem to have seen something familiar." Odom slowly pulled over in front of him. ”
Odom nodded and didn't speak, and I said to Walker, "Let's go down and have a look in a moment." The others stayed in the car first. ”
With that, Walker and I hid our guns inside our clothes, pulled the car door and walked out. I glanced down the staircase where the man had come out, and the man walked to a car on the side of the road, the same sedan but not the one we saw on the highway.
I didn't stare at them, and I pretended to chat with Walker and glanced at them from time to time. A moment later, two more men stepped out of the staircase, twisting their bags.
"Those are the people?" Walker asked in a low voice.
I nodded and said, "These are the few of them." Can you tell? ”
Walker shook his head, "I don't know. But I guess there's a gun in that bag, long guy. How do you know these people? ”
"When we first came here to save Pablo, I saw a man from a distance getting out of a pickup truck, and the man's movements were very similar to the person standing next to the car." I said.
"Wizard?" Walker looked at me.
Just as I was about to speak, Odom came up with a man and said, "This is my man. He said he had found those people. They didn't drive this car when they came before. ”
"Ready to get started. Walker will stand here for a moment, and I'll lead the people to the other side of them first. You see, when we're in place, you're going to do it. I said to Odom, "Tell the people in the car to cross the street and meet me from across the street." ”
After both Walker and Odom understood, I walked towards my goal. Slowly passed by the side of these people. One of them looked up at me and didn't pay any more attention to me. I went to a shop on the other side of them and pretended to look at the window.
As I walked along, the oil bottle and Pinto and Paro crossed the street. and walked across the street for a while, then went around to my side, stopping not far from me. We're in position and waiting for Walker to do it.
I turned my head slightly and looked at my target. At this moment, the familiar looking person also happened to look at me, and he was stunned for a moment, and his facial expression changed. I immediately realized that I had been recognized.
"Da Da Da" A burst of gunfire rang out. That's when Walker got his hands dirty. The man was hit by a bullet, but was quickly dragged back by a man who came out of the stairway. The others immediately began to draw their guns and fight back, but the men who were fighting back did not notice us, and my team opened fire on the people who were resisting Walker, and soon they were each hit and fell to the ground.
We quickly came to the staircase, and as soon as we stretched our heads, someone inside shot outside. I looked at Walker and said, "Cover! ”
"Cover shot!" Walker yelled and led the men into a burst of heavy shots.
Just as we were about to chase in, Odom shouted at us from the side of the car, "There's no time. The police will be there soon. ”
I ignored him and chased him in while the other party was suppressed by Walker. At the corner of the stairs, the person who shot at us had already run away, but there was a lot of blood on the ground, and I don't know if it was the man who was supposed to be a wizard or the person who shot at us was injured.
We followed the bloodstains and slowly walked up the stairs to chase the net, and we could hear obvious footsteps moving upstairs, judging by the footsteps, they still had two or three people. We quickened our pace, and from time to time a gunshot rang out from upstairs, but because the angle of fire was too small, the bullets did not cause any casualties on us.
After chasing them to the fourth floor, the men exited the stairs and entered the building through the safety exit. I went to the door and looked through the glass on it, and I hated this kind of fight, especially when chasing someone into a door and the situation behind the door was completely unclear. But I can't care so much about it now. I motioned to Paro and the Drag Bottle for the two of them to pull the door open, and I went in with Pinto in first, I was in charge of the left, and Pinto was on the right.
The crowd nodded, and soon Walker followed. I told him that I was going first, and motioned for the door to open. Tow Bottle and Paro each opened the opposite door, and Pingtuo entered at the same time with his gun in hand, and looked to the sides. At that moment, a small half of a person's head flashed from my side, and I immediately pulled the trigger. The man also pulled the trigger at the same time as I was shooting. The bullet hit the wall next to me, and my bullet didn't hit him either, because he fired a shot and then retracted. Pinto, on the other hand, continued to look at the other side and did not move.
Walker came in with the men, and I stopped the man who was about to go over and finish off the man who had fired. I pointed to him to the bloodstains on the ground, indicating that they were heading in the direction Pinto was looking on the other side.
Walker nodded, and immediately led the man in the direction of Pinto. And the man who fired the shot realized that he had failed to attract our attention and immediately leaned in to shoot again. But I'm ready to wait for him to lean in again.
The moment he showed a little of his body, I pulled the trigger along with the oil bottle and Paro, and the bullets covered the corner of the wall where the man was hiding. The man must have been shot, because his figure stumbled.
I waved for everyone to follow, and we slowly pressed forward with our guns in hand, and when we came to the corner, all we could see was some blood stains on the ground and on the wall, and some bullet casings. The man had returned to the stairs through another safe passage, the staircase on the other side.
We immediately chased after him, and instead of continuing upstairs, the man ran downstairs. I glanced down the stairs, and the man's footsteps were almost on the second floor, apparently ready to run back into the street.
I pointed to the window in the stairway, "Shoot down from there." ”
We all went to the window, and soon a man with one hand on his left side of his abdomen and a gun in the other hand appeared, and several of us pulled the trigger on his back, and a rain of bullets hit him, and the man fell to the ground and twitched a few times before he stopped.
Odom quickly ran over from the side of the car and yelled at us, "Quick! The police are coming! ”
". I don't know if Walker they caught up with the wizard. Let's go down and get on the bus first. If Walker and they are entangled by the police, it will only make the police uncle here unlucky. I said as I replaced a magazine.
