This is a Ford brand van made in M China, with a wide body and plenty of power. The interior of the car is spacious, open the windows, bask in the evening breeze, and the engine is singing, which is very pleasant.

Highway 9 is relatively full of vehicles, especially from the Lancang direction, with the largest number of trucks loaded with thick logs, occasionally interspersed with some military trucks. The road was crowded with vehicles and stop-and-go, but it was quite smooth.

There were three military and police inspection points on the road, one of which was the special team of the Quang Tri Provincial Military Region. But after Liu Guodong showed his ID, the police and agents saluted and let him go.

"It seems that Ruan Yu, this bastard, is really good!" Liu Guodong teased while driving.

"I'm a little scared, I'm not going to face this shit, right?" Lin Zhumin muttered worriedly.

After about a dozen kilometers in Ganlu County, a three-way intersection appeared ahead. Liu Guodong did not hesitate at all, he had already memorized the map. He "snapped" and turned off the headlights, and the van turned around and drove directly towards No. 71 Auxiliary Road.

At eleven o'clock at night, enter the suburbs of Donghe City. There were flat fields of crops everywhere, and the village was dark, with the occasional light or two or a few barking dogs. Driving on this terrain at night is a great test of the driver's ability to read the map. But this is not enough for the all-powerful Liu Guodong, and when he is about to reach the railway line, he confidently drives the car off the auxiliary road.

The car did not turn on its headlights, and Liu Guodong drove along the dirt road towards the dark wilderness.

It had just rained and the dirt road was muddy, but fortunately, the Ford's strong power and ability to pass through it were unimpeded. After a while, a tall house appeared in front of me. Liu Guodong drove the car to the front of the house and stopped, and took a closer look, it was a tall and big iron gate, but it was not the abandoned warehouse of the railway freight yard that the governor had mentioned.

Lin Zhumin and Lin Tao jumped out of the car, and saw a rusty big iron lock hanging on the iron door, Lin Tao stepped forward and opened the big lock in just a few clicks. Pushing open the door, it was pitch black inside, and a sultry breath came to my face. With a flashlight, except for a wild cat that sheltered here, the large warehouse was empty, and there was nothing.

Liu Guodong drove the car in, everyone got out of the car, put on their backpacks, carried grain, vegetables and other non-staple foods, and re-locked them. Liu Guodong judged the direction and led everyone to the independent courtyard in the darkness in the distance.

It's already the dry season in Indochina, but the rain here is still abundant, and it's drizzling again. This country road is a gravel road that leads to a separate courtyard, and the road is lined with tall eucalyptus trees, and the road is paved with cinders and stones, which is not too muddy.

It seems that the owners and brothers of the courtyard were both military officers, and such a family still has a certain social status in Annam, a country that has been fighting for a long time.

After walking for about a kilometer or two, it can be discerned in the darkness that there is indeed an independent courtyard in the dense woods. Lin Zhumin pushed open the gate of the bamboo fence courtyard and saw that the ground in the small courtyard was paved with cement, and there was no stagnant water, let alone muddy. "Everyone, pay attention, don't bring the mud on your feet into the courtyard!"

After Lin Tao finished speaking, together with Lin Zhumin, they stomped on the gravel road and the cliffs on the road, and then walked over the grape trellis with a gun and came to the front of the two-story residence. On the clothesline in front of the door, there is also a pair of clothes that I forgot to take back. Lin Tao took a closer look to distinguish it, it turned out to be a man's big pants, and it was flowered.

The main entrance on the first floor is locked with a large lock, and a small bungalow next to it is also locked. Lin Tao was on alert, Lin Zhumin first opened the lock of the hut door, went in and shone it with a flashlight, and the firewood that had been chopped was neatly stacked on the wall, and a few mice were stunned for a moment before they began to flee.

Maybe they're wondering, it's been a long, long time since no one lives, so why are there people coming again?

The main house door lock is a large copper padlock. This kind of padlock is not difficult for them as sharp knives at all, and Lin Zhumin opened it in a few clicks.

When I pushed the door in, I saw that the furniture was covered with plastic sheeting, and the dust on it was as thick as a coin. But what is shocking is that there is a rope temporarily hanging on the front and back windows of the room, on which the flags of all nations are like, and there are colorful women's clothes hanging on them, which gives the room a little fragrant atmosphere.

"The Governor is right, it seems that this is really a cheating house."

"Let them hang, don't touch these precious clothes!"

Lin Tao gestured with a flashlight, Yu Songyuan and Liu Guodong closed the courtyard door and entered the main house. The second floor is all bedrooms, three rooms, one large and two small. On the ground floor there is a living room, two bedrooms. It is equipped with bedding, clothes, and utensils. Only the master bedroom on the second floor, which is cleanly cleaned up, shows that people sleep here from time to time.

The toilets are built at the back of the small building, and the yard is surrounded by tropical trees such as plantain and betel nut.

There is a pressurized water well in front of the kitchen, and there is a large water tank next to the well. Liu Guodong tried it, and the well was very useful. The kitchen was very clean and showed that there were often people coming to take care of it. Liu Guodong took out a bucket from the kitchen, first punched out a bucket, cleaned the large water tank thoroughly, and then quickly filled a large water tank. Then, I found a rag and carried a bucket to clean the small building.

Lin Zhumin used water to wash rice, wash vegetables, and open a fire to cook. Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao stood on the balcony on the second floor and carefully observed the surrounding environment with night vision goggles. It's relatively independent, and it's all around the crops, and it's empty. The warehouse is two kilometers away from here, standing alone next to the railway. The nearest villages and dwellings are also a few kilometres away.

"Why would this family choose to live in isolation?" Lin Tao was puzzled.

"Judging from the furnishings in the interior, perhaps the owner has a special status and likes to live alone. Or, if you are rich, you like this kind of living environment. Regardless of him, Lao Tzu is encamped here! ”

Behind them was the river from which they would escape, about three kilometers from the house to the river, and there was a small hill in between, which was also a hundred and ten meters high. The hill is covered with low and dense groves, with occasional larger trees in between. On both sides and on the front, there are flat crops.

A train rumbles and rumbles from the right railway line from south to north. The courtyard is eight or nine hundred meters away from the railway line.

"Boss, although this place is located in the suburbs and is a railway hub, once it is exposed, no matter how big our ability is, it is impossible to escape from the wings, and there is only one choice, that is, to sacrifice our lives for the country!" Lin Tao was obviously not satisfied with choosing such a foothold.

"I don't think so, this environment is much stronger than the Randu Kush Snow Mountain, and besides, the boss's plan is impeccable. Then again, donating your body is also voluntary, and the state doesn't require you to do it. Do you want to change places? Liu Guodong carried the bucket and blocked Lin Tao's words while working.

Blood on the knife edge, making a living in a desperate situation is a common occurrence for "ghosts". Lin Tao still remembers the tragic scene of the experience on the Khyber Mountain, but Liu Guodong has always felt excited and proud of the experience of killing and dying several times on the Great Snow Mountain of Landu Kush, and he has reached the point of admiration for Yu Songyuan's tactical command, and will never tolerate any suspicion from the team members.

"It's not about changing places, we have to be very careful in such a sinister environment. The slightest negligence can be a catastrophe. Let's fight for the sake of the country! I'm still a little puzzled, why is Annan so lax internally when he uses troops everywhere? Lin Tao didn't suspect the battle plan, he just said vigilantly.

Yu Songyuan nodded, "That's right, you must be careful." It is because of laxity that we chose this place as our target. Annan controls the Lancangs and the Khmer, and here is their hinterland, there is no threat at all. Just like some time ago, those foreign drug dealers, in our mainland, committed crimes at night, isn't it as rampant? Of course, this is also limited to sneak attacks, entering people's land, and once exposed, it will be impossible to escape! ”

Liu Guodong also went into the kitchen to help, and an hour later, the rice was ready and the dishes were fried. Very hometown-flavored, standard four dishes and one soup. They didn't turn on the lights, but lit candles. Dinner was delicious, and it was their first decent meal in days.

After the meal, after a rest, everyone took a comfortable bath. Liu Guodong had already set up several defenses outside the courtyard, then locked the door and entered the room through the window. The first secret sentinel was Lin Zhumin, who held a gun in his arms and vigilantly observed the movement outside the courtyard through the windows on the second floor. The other three were lying on the sofa in the hall, smoking and thinking about it.

"Boss, isn't it too smooth? We just got into the hinterland, and I always felt unsteady. Lin Tao is an assaulter, and he is the most vigilant, he still said a little humbly.

"To be honest, it's a little unsettling. However, it can't be said that it is smooth, how difficult the road is. Now into their depth, they are defenseless, it is normal. Liu Guodong said "with confidence" that he was persuading Lin Tao and was also cheering himself up.

"I feel that the reason why you feel weak is because a 'guest' has visited. After finishing them, tonight, let's get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow night, rush to the manna power plant. Yu Songyuan said calmly.

"Ghost, there's a situation! The whole team paid attention, quickly opened the window to ventilate, and restored to its original appearance, someone came here. Before Yu Songyuan's words fell, Lin Zhumin, who was on duty on the second floor, had a hurried voice in the headset.

When Lin Tao and Liu Guodong heard this, they stood up "Teng".

Liu Guodong rushed to the window with an arrow step, quickly opened the window, and let the air convection. Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao quickly covered the furniture with plastic sheeting, quickly restored the interior to its original appearance, and quickly retreated to the second floor.

Yu Songyuan looked out from the window, and saw a bright pillar of light, like a searchlight, piercing the dark night sky and heading towards the independent house. He hurriedly ordered, "There are still five hundred meters, the ghost hand closes the window and retreats to the small bedroom on the second floor!" ”

Liu Guodong closed the window, quickly retreated to the second floor, and entered the smaller bedroom. "Boss, the smell of smoke hasn't completely dissipated!"

"Pay attention, wear a silencer, if the other party finds an abnormality, snipe them, and don't let anyone go!" Yu Songyuan commanded through the headset in a low voice.
