Chapter 44: The Safe House
Flagstaff, Arizona, USA. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It took a couple of hours to drive from Phoenix, and it was late at night when we arrived.
The hiding place is a farm on the outskirts of the city, more than 20 kilometers from the city, it is dilapidated, and it looks like a haunted house in an isolated wilderness from a distance.
Farms like this, which have been abandoned for decades, are plentiful in the Midwest.
The rundown is only the surface.
Hearing the sound of the motor, Luo Qingcai got out of the car and walked towards the farmhouse with his travel bag.
The door to the basement had been opened, the lights were dim and bright, there was a musty smell in the passageway, and there were two dead rats in the corner that had been dried long ago.
The basement is large and divided into several rooms.
More than a decade ago, the Military Intelligence Agency bought the farm through an informant.
After buying it, the Military Intelligence Bureau sent people to dig up the basement, and then bought various equipment including diesel engines, solar water heaters, and tap water purifiers under the pretext of opening a motel, and built a small underground oil depot to make it a safe house.
A few years later, the informant sold the farm to a man who had a birth certificate, a secondary school degree, a social security number, but no one at all, and left the United States.
Because of the on-time payment of various taxes and fees, there is no bad record, so in the United States federal authorities and local governments, this is just an ordinary farm.
As for whether there are people living and whether they are still in business, it is obviously not a matter of concern.
Wang Dong went inside, and Zhao Yu was replacing the distribution box.
"Is there hot water?"
"Yes, but it's going to take a moment. Drain the stagnant water from the pipes first. ”
Luo Qing didn't ask any more questions and walked towards the bathroom.
Along the way, she was already exhausted, and now she just wanted to take a hot shower.
If you want a bathtub, that's even better.
There is no bathtub, but the shower head is good.
At this time, Zhao Yu went to the arsenal.
Because it is a safe house, there are not many weapons stored here, and they are not very good, mainly some firearms used for self-defense.
Weapons used by agents during operations are generally carried with them or transported through specialized channels.
If the enemy were to kill here, it would be wise to flee immediately rather than fight with weapons.
There were several rifles and more than a dozen pistols, all of which were placed in special sealed gun boxes, and were oiled and loaded with magazines to fire.
There are plenty of bullets, of all types and calibers, a total of tens of thousands of rounds.
After a general inspection, Wang Dong picked up a handful of Glock17 and handed it to Zhao Yu.
Then, he picked up an AR15 series tactical rifle that looked very lightweight, with the lower receiver and handguard artistically treated, and was obviously tailored for women.
Judging by the inscription on the body of the gun, it is the "Athena" tactical rifle of the American company FSD.
Of course, Wang Dong will not use this kind of "mother's gun", it is prepared for Luo Qing.
Before they got on the plane, they lost all their weapons and couldn't bring their guns on the plane.
Wang Dong chose the DD5V1 rifle from Daniel Defense, which fires 7.62mm NOTA rounds, which are more bulky but have a longer range and more power.
These two rifles are actually AR15 series.
In the United States, there are many arms companies, gun factories and defense companies that produce firearms, and there are countless types of firearms that are brought to the civilian market.
As for the performance of these firearms, they are definitely not under the military standard equipment.
If there's one flaw, it's that it needs to be carefully maintained and properly kept.
"They're still alive."
"What?"
Zhao Yu pointed at the "Athena" tactical rifle on the table. "That's the gun of 'Feng San', which I bought after coming to the United States."
Wang Dong immediately picked up the rifle and opened the chamber to inspect it.
There are obvious signs of wear and tear, indicating that it was used, at least a thousand rounds were fired.
The guns in the safe house, after they are bought, will be tested, dozens of rounds will be fired, and they will be proved to be able to be used normally, and then they will be collected.
In addition, no one would have a safe house with a rifle specifically for women.
"Also, two rifles are missing." Zhao Yu opened a gun box, which was empty. "They're alive and they've come back."
When Zhao Yu said this, Wang Dong had already assembled a PDW short-barreled assault rifle.
This is a self-defense rifle produced by LWRC International that fires 5.56mm NATO rounds, and is very short and ideal for close-quarters combat.
"Take it, gather some ammo, we need to get out of here."
"Now?"
"Yes, now." Wang Dong threw PDW to Zhao Yu. "Even if they're alive and they've come back, it's not safe enough."
Zhao Yu didn't ramble anymore and immediately started to pack up the ammunition.
Carrying the DD5V1 and choosing a combat pistol, Wang Dong also took two body armor hanging on the wall, and then left the arsenal with the equipment selected for Luo Qing.
After leaving the "Athena" rifle and other weapons outside the bathroom, Wang Dong went to the ground.
The night sky is clear, the stars are thick, and the Milky Way across the universe is particularly bright.
Zhao Yu is right, "Long San" and "Feng San" may still be alive, and they have been here and left the "Athena" rifle.
The question is, why didn't they get in touch with the bureau?
There is a satellite phone in the safe house, as well as spare batteries, "Long San" and "Feng San" must know.
Even if they don't stay here, they should contact the bureau when it's safe to do so.
It was clear that they had come and gone in a hurry, taking with them only two rifles and some ammunition, as well as a satellite phone that had been placed in the monitoring room.
And then what?
They must have been hunted down by the enemy, and they have not been able to contact the bureau.
That was more than a year ago!
Even if "Long San" and "Feng San" are super agents, their strength is above Wang Dong and Luo Qing, there has been no news for more than a year, and the possibility of living is almost zero.
At this time, Luo Qing came to the ground.
She changed into a set of clothes, casual clothes bought at the duty-free shop at Milan International Airport.
Wang Dong didn't explain much, she didn't ask much, and started the off-road vehicle in the past.
The two have trained together for six years and carried out dozens of missions, and they have long formed a tacit understanding.
A few minutes later, Zhao Yu came out, carrying two large pockets and a huge travel bag on his back.
Is this guy moving?
Luo Qing was a little speechless, and when Wang Dong went over to help, she also got out of the car.
Although she is a woman, Luo Qing has a lot of strength, and her endurance is better than Wang Dong.
On the contrary, Zhao Yu is more like a woman.
Of course, this has something to do with the fact that he hasn't eaten all day.
In addition, before Nice was knocked unconscious by Wang Dong, he also vomited everything he had eaten the night before.
The pockets were heavy, full of ammunition, and some equipment that was valuable in Zhao Yu's opinion.
Zhao Yu was very tired, and after handing over the bag and backpack to Wang Dong and Luo Qing, he bent down and gasped for breath, which was a symptom of hypoglycemia.
"Wait, let's find a place to fill our stomachs first."
"There's a motel on the way over, and there should be a fast food restaurant there." Although he ate something on the plane, Luo Qing was hungry early in the morning.
At this time, Wang Dong suddenly stopped and looked at the night sky in the south.
"You go put your stuff, I'll drive."
"Be careful, lie down!"
