457. Chapter 16 (1)

More than a day ago.

Qin Han and Xiao Yi had been forced to hide in that small building for a short while, and it was getting darker and darker in this dilapidated small building as dusk approached, but the light outside the small building was still enough for the people hiding in the attic to see everything outside.

From time to time, armed men pass through this vicinity, and this building is in danger of being repeatedly searched at any time, which makes Qin Han feel uneasy, Qin Han wants to find a more secure hiding place, and he sees the skylight at the end of the far building, Qin Han waved his hand to Xiao Yi, who was watching the outside situation by the window.

"Xiao Yi, it's not safe for us to hide on this floor, in case these people outside come in and check layer by layer, we won't even have a place to hide at that time, can you go up and see if there is a place inside?"

Xiao Yi understood, walked to the front of the cast iron ladders, and jumped up with a slight vertical body.

"Qin Han, come up, it's safe up there, and there's a place."

Qin Han made an OK gesture to Xiao Yi, and then he came to the middle of Jiang Shu and Fang Jin's group.

"Fang Jin, Jiang Shu, you tell a few of them, we have to hide above, it's still not safe here, maybe those bandits will break in at any time, so we have to find a safer place, okay?"

Qin Han explained his thoughts to these people, and these people, who had already fled for their lives all the way, were now only trembling and nodding.

Seeing that these people were frozen and frightened and their teeth chattered, Qin Han took out the two shabby military blankets that he had seen in a room before, and took the lead in handing them to the top, and then Qin Han assisted below and sent these people to the top one by one, the corridor that was originally full of ups and downs now only left some messy footprints, Qin Han found a cardboard, disposed of the footprints on the ground, and after he himself came to it, he closed the top cover of the skylight.

The buildings in this base are obviously old, even if many of the buildings in use outside are in an old state, the outer walls are covered with thick vines, and these enclosed, long-abandoned buildings are even more dilapidated, and many glass doors and windows have long since decayed.

Fortunately, the space between the ridge and the roof is still spacious enough, and the decorative round windows on the gables on both sides are also intact, which can basically ensure that this small space is airtight enough to resist the cold wind outside.

"Now you sit here and rest for a while, gather around each other to keep warm, let's take a look at the situation outside and then make the next arrangements, you can rest for a while."

Now hiding here are not only Jiang Shu and Fang Jin, but also Kosheleva, who has been with Jiang Shu and Fang Jin before, and the young militiaman who was rescued by Qin Han at a critical moment, in addition to these few people, there are also two men and a woman who are a little older base staff, they are running away at the moment when the base was attacked, mixed into them, plus Qin Han and Xiao Yi, a total of nine people of different nationalities are crowded together in this small space, there is no way to advance or retreat, They're stuck here.

The few people hiding in the attic on the top floor could already clearly hear the voices of the armed people passing downstairs calling each other, and on several occasions these searchers outside even put a few shots into the house through the broken glass, trying to disturb the people hiding in the shadows, under the strong pressure of Qin Han and Xiao Yi, the people here, especially the women among them, barely swallowed back the screams that had reached their mouths.

Temporarily calming the people around them, Qin Han and Xiao Yi turned around and came to the two round windows embedded in the gable wall respectively, and the two looked out through the thick dust on the round windows.

In the direction they fled from just now and in the open field overgrown with grass a little farther away, more than a dozen armed men wearing the badge of the Independent Army searched all the way, and Xiao Yi knew that the direction behind them had been jammed.

"Xiao Yi, come here."

Qin Han on the other end greeted.

Xiao Yi came to Qin Han's side, and through this window they saw that some armed men escorted a dozen people to a pothole on the edge of a woodland dozens of meters away from the building.

"Xiao Yi, do you see it, some of the people here are people wearing official army uniforms, which are the same as the clothes of the guards we met when we entered the base, which shows that either there are garrisons in this base to do internal response, or these attackers make up and change their clothes and launch a surprise attack when they are close to the base."

Xiao Yi nodded and said, "You are right, looking at the current posture, I am afraid we will not be able to get out for a while." ”

After speaking, Xiao Yi turned around and beckoned to the base militia who was rescued by Qin Han, and motioned for him to come over, this young militiaman who had never experienced such a bloody scene was no better than the other women in the crowd, and he was still pale and trembling.

Seeing that the two Chinese were calling themselves, the young militia got up and walked over, and Jiang Shu and Kova on the side, fearing that they would not be able to communicate with each other, also got up and followed, and several people came to the small window together.

"Could you please ask him, from here in which direction can he get the fastest approach to the perimeter of the base?"

Xiao Yi said to Jiang Shu and Kova.

Hearing Jiang Shu and Kova's explanations, the young militiaman understood what Xiao Yi meant, and he pointed to the side front of the window almost at the same time as Kva.

"You're saying that the path on the side of the forest leads to the outskirts of the base? Is there any protection over there? ”

Xiao Yi's heart was filled with a glimmer of hope.

"There are more than 1,000 meters from here to there, which is the closest distance to the outside of the base, and there is also a freight gate that was used by the base to enter and exit the equipment, although the gate has been closed now, but the broken hole on the top can be drilled out, as long as the gate is out, the outside is the dense forest leading to the mountain, we often drill out from that gate to the mountains to hunt, as long as I can get there, I can take everyone out, I am very familiar with there."

The militiaman realized the meaning of Xiao Yi's question, and the desperate expression before glowed with some vitality.

The militia's explanation was confirmed by Kova and Jiang Shu.

"He's right, Nova has taken me there before, and many of us have been there to hunt, and we are all familiar with it."

Xiao Yi couldn't help but glance at Qin Han when he heard this, this was a hope, but although these employees working in the base were very familiar with the situation in that area, how to pass through this distance of more than 1,000 meters without being discovered, and then escape from danger has become a difficult proposition, because now the area below has been completely controlled by the armed personnel of the Independence~ Army.

"Look, are those soldiers wearing Union National Army uniforms the guards at your base?"

Qin Han pointed to the armed personnel who were escorting some base staff in the distance and asked, these escorts were obviously different from the armed personnel with the symbol of the independent ~ army who came up from behind before.

At a distance of seventy or eighty meters, even if the dust on the round window was wiped clean, the young militiaman, Jiang Shu and the others could not see it very clearly.

"Here you go, use this."

Kova said as she handed over the tiny handheld camera she had been carrying on her back.

"yes, you can use this zoom to bring the scene closer, and you can see that the captured people are all from the base?"

Xiao Yi took the hand-held DV and fiddled with it, gradually pulling the distant scene closer to the front, and several people came to the small viewfinder to distinguish the identities of these attackers and captured people who came from afar.

Several more cars drove by, and the few people who jumped out of the cars made Kova and the others let out a slight exclamation.

And Qin Han, who was guarding the window, also recognized the two key people who were surrounded by several people from the car.

It was Shatov and his guard captain Lodi who came.

I saw Shatov and another person walking towards a person who looked like a commander, this slightly younger commander was Colin who had sent people to chase after Qin and Han had withdrawn from the direction.

Not far from the office complex, Colin was joined by Shatov and Lodi.

"These people wearing Wehrmacht uniforms are not from our base, and they should have disguised themselves as Wehrmacht soldiers to carry out a sneak attack here, and at this stage, these people under Shatov have not used this method to blame others or secretly sneak attack."

The young militiaman was clearly extremely angry at the other side's use of such despicable methods, and he gritted his teeth.

"It looks like they're looking for someone, you see they seem to be comparing the photos one by one, maybe the people they're looking for aren't among them."

Qin Han: They saw the commander holding the photo and comparing it among the employees who were circled here.

"Xiao Yi, see if you can record all of these, maybe these will be evidence in the future, at least for future investigations to determine the culprit of the attack on the base, by the way, Ms. Jiang, is your camera still there?"

Qin Han asked seemingly unintentionally, in fact, Qin Han felt a faint danger, he had long heard that the two factions in the conflict had accused each other of genocide more than once, and this kind of thing was not uncommon in the south for nearly a year, seeing so many armed men driving these dozen base scientific research personnel to this open space, Qin Han had a hint of foreboding in his heart.
