Facing the muzzle of the gun, the couple did not dare to move. After seeing Zhou Zhen's face clearly, both of them showed a look of surprise on their faces, and looked back at the TV news.

The hostess said in surprise: "Are you Rambo?" ”

As soon as the words came out, she covered her mouth in horror, for fear that Zhou Zhen would kill people.

The man raised his hands and hurriedly said, "Rambo, we are not enemies, please don't hurt us." ”

Zhou Zhen nodded and said, "I don't regard you as enemies, but it depends on your choice." ”

The man stood beside the hostess and said, "The government is our common enemy, and we can do whatever you want as if it didn't happen." ”

Zhou Zhen observed the environment in the room, pointed the gun at the sofa next to the wall, carried a chair by himself, and sat in the corner.

From this angle, I could just see the news of his killing on TV.

But then, Zhou Zhen found that it was not just happening, but the three major national television networks, all of which were broadcasting his news on a rolling basis.

Zhou Zhen was silent, and they didn't dare to speak.

After watching it for five minutes, Zhou Zhen asked, "Have you been broadcasting my news like this for the past few days?" ”

The man kept holding the hostess's hand and answered: "A few days ago it was less, but since yesterday it was reported that you were killed, your photos and news have been played more frequently. ”

Zhou Zhen didn't speak, and the man said again: "The sons of bitches can't beat you in the mountains, so they want everyone to remember you and make it difficult for you to move an inch in the United States." ”

Zhou Zhen asked, "Why are you against the government?" ”

The man said: "The government has occupied my land, but it has not compensated me and has not given me tax credits. The IRS sent the army to collect taxes last year, and the whole village beat them back. In a little over a year, we have been at war with the federal government six times. ”

In the western United States, this is normal.

After the new century, 380 head of cattle were stopped by the federal government because Nevada farmers did not have grazing licenses.

The local farmers were armed with guns and confronted the army for a month. In the end, the federal government threw in the towel and returned 380 head of cattle.

Zhou Zhen nodded and said, "As long as you don't stand on the opposite side of me, I won't hurt you." It's just that I'm going to wronged you all night today. ”

There was a fireplace burning in the room, it was very warm, and Zhou Zhen was sweating after a while.

He took off his crumpled military uniform and asked, "How many phones do you have at home?" ”

"There's only one, and we rarely use the phone, only when we're in touch with the kids."

The phone was in the living room, Zhou Zhen stepped forward to cut the phone line, and said to the hostess: "Can you help me find a set of clothes that your husband doesn't wear?" ”

The hostess looked at the man and nodded. Zhou Zhen said again: "Don't play tricks, you should know the efficiency of the police, before they arrive, I can kill you ten times." ”

The man patted the hostess's hand comfortingly and asked, "What do you want to do with us?" ”

Zhou Zhen said: "I need a set of ordinary clothes, and then borrow your car." Maybe in a few days, you'll know the whereabouts of the car from the police.

Tonight, I'll tie you up and help you fill up the fireplace. Tomorrow at the latest, someone will come to your rescue. ”

"You promise."

"I promise. Tomorrow, when you are saved, you can accuse the police of my crimes, and you can even sell my news to the media. This, of course, requires the media to believe that I'm alive. ”

With Zhou Zhen's guarantee, the couple cooperated very well, not only found a suit of clothes for Zhou Zhen, but also found him a certain peaked cap.

They turned off the lights in the dining room, leaving only the lights in the living room, closed the curtains, and invited Zhou Zhen to dinner.

Subsequently, Zhou Zhen asked the hostess to wash the dishes she used and let them into the bedroom.

The husband was tied to the end of the bed, and the wife was tied to the head of the bed, and Zhou Zhen used the anti-binding method, and he was not afraid of them breaking away at all.

Saying goodbye to them politely, Zhou Zhen also thoughtfully helped them close the bedroom window.

When he came to the bathroom, Zhou Zhen used the hostess's scissors to cut his long hair into a short haircut, and shaved with the man's razor, then picked up his backpack, took a gun and all the bullets, and drove into the car.

Once in the car, he found that he still had more than half of the fuel in the tank, enough to drive to Eugene, Central Oregon.

This night's time, if it goes well, can go to California without a hitch.

In Holiday Town, although the army has been evacuated, the FBI has taken over the work of the army and county police, who no longer send troops to pursue, but set up secret posts at various intersections, so that the local police and every household can set up a surveillance network.

But it's been two nights and one day, and there is still no information from Rambo.

Now, everyone doesn't know if Rambo is still here or not, they can only passively wait for news.

Another sleepless night passed, and McCkelly was disappointed as he prepared to go to bed when he received a call from the Olympia police.

Last night, Rambo appeared in the village of Meydon, more than 20 kilometers south of the city of Olympia, tied up his master, and drove away in his pickup truck.

After receiving the news, McClairy couldn't sleep, and immediately summoned a helicopter and headed for the village of Maidun.

It was already past eight o'clock in the morning when he arrived, and thirteen hours had passed since Rambo left.

When he was on the plane, he had already arranged for the FBI in the five western states to keep a close eye on the whereabouts of the pickup.

One night was enough for Rambo to flee more than a thousand kilometers, but instead of being frustrated, McClairy became excited.

Because as long as Rambo leaves the mountains and forests and enters the city, the FBI has countless means to deal with him.

Arriving at the village of Meydon, the investigation did not go very well, and the couple could not provide much information, except that they had just finished eating when they were threatened with a gun by Rambo, who had broken in.

And then no matter what it is, it's all about not knowing.

McClairy knows that if a person has existed in society, he will always leave clues.

Indeed, in the afternoon of the same day, police found the pickup truck in a parking lot in Sacramento, the capital of California.

The FBI and police launched a joint operation, and that night, a man's body was found by a river not far from the parking lot.

The man was a thug of a local gangster, and his Chrysler was nowhere to be found.

In the city of Olympia, McClairy has been calculating in front of the map.

Rambo left Holiday Town on the night of the 9th and appeared in Maiden, nearly a hundred kilometers away, on the night of the 11th.

He didn't have a way to go, but he was shuttling through the mountains and forests, and his speed should be one-third of his normal speed.

Removing the time of daylight and the time of sleeping, McClairy thinks that after Rambo kills people in Holiday Town, he should start his journey.

In the interview, he seems to have no love, but why did he leave so quickly after killing people in Holiday Town?

At this time, McClairy thinks that Rambo is suspicious, and he doesn't even think about dying.

Why did he go to California? Because that's the closest route to Mexico.

The United States and Mexico do not have extradition regulations, and the government there is completely non-existent, so Rambo will not go to Canada, which is close at hand, but to Mexico.

Thinking of this, he immediately picked up the phone. "Help me book the fastest flight to San Diego. Also, immediately contact the offices in Southern California and Arizona, the state police, and patrol police, and set up checkpoints on various major roads. Rambo wants to go to Mexico, and he shouldn't have left the country yet! ”

Zhou Zhen did not leave the country yet, and after arriving in Sacramento on the morning of the 12th, he killed a gang member in the afternoon and robbed him of his car and money.

However, that night, he encountered several levels in a row, and finally had to hide the car.

Without a car, in populous California, it is simply impossible to carry a long gun.

And he now doesn't have a pistol, which greatly restricts his movements.

But if he was asked to give up the gun, he wouldn't. He would rather "die in battle" with a bang than leave his life to fate.

At this time, he already knew that his whereabouts might have been exposed. At the U.S.-Mexico border, I'm afraid there are a large number of police waiting for him.

The southern part of California isn't much forested, and the cities here are almost contiguous and full of sin and opportunity.

And he didn't dare to show his face casually, it was far more difficult here than he was in the mountains and forests.

It wasn't until the early hours of the 14th that he snatched a third car from an orange plantation owner in Bakersfield.

After Bakersfield, it is the Los Angeles City Circle, and at this time, there is no fear of who will intercept it.

Don't say that he, even if he is an enemy of the state, it is difficult to close roads in large cities in the United States.

Because the federal government, the state, and the local government are not of the same mind.

Along the way, he never encountered a level again, and until after San Diego, Zhou Zhen knew that the most important moment was coming soon.

At dawn, Zhou Zhen arrived in Bonita, a small town east of San Diego, sat in the car, and bought three burgers and two bottles of Coke from the car window.

Then, he drove all the way to the east side of the mountain, parked the car in the parking lot of the Aotai Lake Scenic Area under the mountain, and deliberately chose a corner to park.

Lower Lake Ottai is a reservoir in San Diego with a number of activities nearby, as well as mountain safaris. On the contrary, there is no charge in the Lake District.

After parking the car, he put his rifle in the trunk, carrying only a backpack, and dressed like a tourist.

The overwhelming news and the photos of him posted everywhere made him unable to appear in crowded places at all.

However, in order to observe the escape route, he had to survey the route beforehand.

He didn't want to break through, and the border between the two countries in Tijuana was full of traffic, ready to stop him at any time, day or night.

It is still the end of the seventies, and the border wall has not yet been fully built, and it is easier to climb the border wall at night than to break through.

Even if he was discovered, several border police, he was sure to deal with it.

So after looking at the map, he chose this area of Aotai Mountain.
