XXXIII. The Battle of Heavenly Street
This heavenly street runs north-south and crosses the front of the palace, totaling more than five miles.
In the past, there were two roads from the bottom of the mountain to Tianjie, one was from the direction of the east gate, passing through factories and residential areas, which was the main road; The other is in the southernmost villa area, which is only for the wealthy class. Later, the population of the residential area increased, and the houses were expanded to the border stream bordering the North Mountain. In this way, it is inevitable to go around a large circle by taking the main road, so three other small roads were built to go up from the residential area to Tianjie, which is convenient for the people at the bottom of the mountain.
Now in the residential area below the mountain, the Northern and Southern armies are exchanging fire. Shao Hu thought to himself that if someone followed him, he would either take the main road or take the mountain road close to the main road, because only these two roads were still within the control of the Southern Army. Of course, this is a guess, but the premise is that the person who came to kill me was the Southern Army. I just don't know where the black butterfly has gone...... Maybe I should have contacted her again.
Just thinking about Black Butterfly, Black Butterfly sent a text message to Shao Hu. Because Shao Hu set his mobile phone to vibrate mode, he can sense incoming calls and text messages by relying on his body without alarming others. So he covered the screen with his hand, and saw Hu Die's words from his hand: Seven Southern Army, entered the Mountain Residence Hotel, two went to the roof, and three were still in the store.
The Mountain House Hotel is in front of Shao Hu's left, on the east side of Tianjie, where the lights are dark at the moment, and there is no human figure to see or hear. Shao Hu didn't dare to be careless, pointed his gun at the mountain residence hotel, and only waited for the lightning on the top of the mountain to light up again, lock on to the target, and solve one by one.
Suddenly, the mountain bird, which had been quiet for a long time, chirped a few more times.
Shao Hu suddenly realized that the voice of this mountain bird must have been made by black butterflies, and she was telling me the location; The place where the sound came from should be on the roof of the opposite house. So while paying attention to the inside and outside of the mountain house, I also paid attention to the roof in the north. Sure enough, by the time the sound of the mountain bird sounded again, she was already only two roofs away from the Mountain Residence Hotel.
At this time, Shao Hu's long-awaited lightning finally came again, and at this moment, he saw a Southern Army with a gun out of the mountain and into the hotel, and walked to the steps at the door. For Shao Hu, the lightning came in time, but for that southern army, it was undoubtedly exposed to the street all of a sudden, and he looked a little panicked. Then the street was plunged into darkness again.
Shao Hu pointed the gun at the southern soldier who was about to cross the street, imagining his steps and sensing his breath, so even if the southern soldier's footsteps were silent, he knew where he was now, so he slowly tracked the muzzle of the gun......
After a while, another flash of lightning came. The southern army had already arrived at the west of the street, and was slowly walking towards Shao Hu's location. After the lightning disappeared, Shao Hu planned to change the hiding place, put away the gun, took out the sharp blade, and then walked over and hid under a flower bed at the entrance of the alley, just waiting for the southern army to arrive, and immediately killed him.
In this thick night, Shao Hu's eyes widened to distinguish the subtle changes, and he felt that a black shadow was moving slowly, as if something had drawn a ripple on the water. Shao Hu immediately concluded that the person who came was about to enter his attack range.
Just then, lightning suddenly came! Shao Hu and the southern army had a face-to-face face, and the two were less than half a meter apart. The Southern Army was about to shoot, and five gunshots rang out on the roof of the Mountain Residence Hotel, and at the same time, Shao Hu jumped behind him, strangled his neck, and then slashed his neck with a sharp blade, and hot blood gushed out.
Then Shao Hu dragged the corpse of the southern army to the base of the wall and put it down, and then sent a text message to Black Butterfly: I solved one.
Black Butterfly replied: I solved two.
Shao Hu took out his gun again and looked in the direction of the Mountain Residence Hotel. The lightning rose again, Shao Hu saw that there were two machine guns in the window of the hotel aimed here, and before he could dodge on his left arm, a burst of bullets whistled and smashed the flower bed.
Taking advantage of this time, a black shadow jumped from the roof, it was the black butterfly. She landed lightly at the back door of the hotel and threw a bomb into the hotel, which exploded into a sea of fire with a bang.
There was no more darkness to cover. Three figures jumped out of the hotel and fell to the ground trying to extinguish the flames. Shao Hu saw it, and three shots were eliminated. When I looked inside the hotel again, I saw two people fighting, and it seemed that Black Butterfly wanted to catch a live mouth.
Shao Hu ran over to help, but Black Butterfly had already kicked the man out of the door, landing right at Shao Hu's feet. The man still wanted to get up, but Shao Hu pointed the gun at his head, and then they were all stunned.
That person was Shaohua who left Beishan a while ago.
After a toss, Ah Long and Er Xiong also rushed over with guns and saw Shao Hu and Black Butterfly interrogating Shaohua.
Shao Hu asked, "What are you doing here?" β
Shaohua's face was covered with blood, his muscles twitched, and he said, "Come and kill you." β
Shao Hu then asked, "Why did you kill me?" β
Shaohua said intermittently: "Now...... The ...... of the entire Great East Gate Garrison ...... I know you killed...... Brother Zhang. Already...... Rewarded ...... Want your ...... Head ......"
Erxiong, who was standing behind him, sighed. Shao Hu asked again, "How did you find this place?" β
Shaohua glanced at Ah Long and said, "Follow...... He came. β
Ah Long was furious when he heard this, and pulled out a gun to kill Shaohua. Shao Hu stopped Ah Long and said, "We are here this time to save people, not to kill people." β
Black Butterfly laughed coldly.
Ah Long got angry and asked, "What if you let him come back and bring someone else?" β
Shao Hu said: "We will transfer in a while. β
Black Butterfly escaped and fired two shots at Shaohua's left and right feet.
Shaohua let out a cry of pain and fainted.
Shao Hu was stunned and hurriedly asked Black Butterfly: "What are you doing here?" β
Black Butterfly said calmly, "He is now disabled and has taken a life. As he spoke, he tilted his head and motioned for Shao Hu to follow her.
The two of them walked to the observation deck on the south side of the hotel and sat down. From here, you can see that the fighting is raging at the bottom of the mountain. Shao Hu asked, "What are you doing here?" β
Black Butterfly said, "I'll help you get the kids down the mountain." β
Shao Hu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said, "I really didn't expect it." β
Black Butterfly smiled slightly and said, "You saved my life, I just returned your favor." β
Shao Hu pointed to the southeast and said, "There is a war going on there at the Great East Gate. Pointing due east, "There used to be a secret passage, but now it has been blown up by the people of Dawn City." Although we rescued the children, I am afraid that in the end, we will not be able to escape! β
Black Butterfly thought for a moment and said, "The two roads you mentioned are in Nanshan. If you can't go to the South Mountain, why not go to the North Mountain? β
As soon as Shao Hu heard that there was a turnaround, he hurriedly asked: "Could it be that there is also a secret road in Beishan?" β
Black Butterfly nodded, and said: "It's not impossible to take you over, but the people around you turned out to be from Nanshan, if one or two have bad intentions, secretly write down the route, and report it to the Southern Army, we Beishan may not be able to escape the doom." β
Shao Hu asked, "Do you doubt them?" β
Black Butterfly nodded and said, "It's not that easy for me to trust someone. β
Shao Hu was unhappy and asked, "What about me?" Isn't it also worth your doubts? β
Black Butterfly laughed and said, "I just said that I won't trust anyone, including you. β
Shao Hu sighed and said, "They betrayed the Southern Army, if you doubt them now, how can they deal with themselves?" It was nothing to do, but it could cause a catastrophe in the future. Besides, they followed me, so how could I leave them alone? β
Black Butterfly shook her head and sighed, saying, "As long as you promise me one condition, you can let them pass." β
Shao Hu asked, "What conditions?" β
"If I find out that one of them is plotting against me, I will kill him immediately, without your consent or explanation," said Black Butterfly. β
Shao Hu lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "Okay." β
So under the leadership of Black Butterfly, Shao Hu and the others escorted more than fifty children out of the Songfeng Hotel and walked north along Tianjie. An hour later, the group reached the stream on the border, sat down to rest for a while, drank some water, and then crossed the stream and walked into the territory of the North Mountain.
In front of it is a large orchard, emitting a faint fragrance. They also picked a lot of fruit and ate it as they went. After walking for more than a mile, there was a courtyard in front of it, and the gate was ajar, which should have been after the sudden outbreak of war, and the people here fled in a panic, and even forgot to lock the gate.
Black Butterfly asked everyone to wait outside, pushed open the door and walked in, and after a while, she came out in a military truck. Shao Hu, Ah Long and others were overjoyed at first sight, and when the truck was parked, they picked up the children one by one.
Black Butterfly said to Aaron and the others, "Go up and sit in the back and watch the child." Ah Long and the others glanced at Shao Hu, and when they saw Shao Hu nodding, they all climbed up. Black Butterfly said to Shao Hu again: "You follow me and sit in front." β
Shao Hu got into the cab and sat in the passenger seat. Black Butterfly started the truck and headed north. Shao Hu exclaimed: "I really admire you, not only can you drive a plane, but even a truck." β
Black Butterfly said lightly: "It's not a big deal, I've been trained like this since I was a child. β
Shao Hu asked, "Are you happy?" β
Black Butterfly asked rhetorically, "What?" β
Shao Hu said: "You have been trained since you were a child, are you happy? β
Black Butterfly thought for a moment and said, "The average child will be sent to school from an early age. I just went to a different kind of school. What kind of school did you attend as a child? β
Shao Hu said: "The city primary school. β
Black Butterfly smiled and asked, "Are you happy?" β
As she spoke, Black Butterfly drove the truck out of the orchard and onto a wide concrete road. Shao Hu saw some houses hidden in the woods on both sides, and because he didn't want to peep into people's privacy, he wanted to close his eyes and pretend to be asleep. Black Butterfly spoke: "You doze off and it's easy to infect me, don't sleep, talk to me alive, so that you can stay awake and don't drive the car into the ravine!" β
Shao Hu smiled, still with his eyes closed, and said, "I close my eyes now, if I am unfortunately caught by the people of the Southern Army in the future, they will not ask for any information from my mouth." β
Black Butterfly also smiled and said, "As long as you don't fall asleep." β
Shao Hu then asked, "What should we talk about?" By the way, what's your name? β
Black Butterfly said, "My name is Black Butterfly. β
Shao Hu shook his head and said, "Black Butterfly is your nickname. I want to know your real name. β
"My real name is Black Butterfly," said Black Butterfly. β
Shao Hu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who is in your familyβwait, this question is over!" Let me change the question, how old are you this year? β
Black Butterfly said, "Thirty-two years old." What about you? β
Shao Hu said: "You are older than me. I'm only thirty-one this year. β
Black Butterfly sighed, stopped talking, and just looked ahead.
Shao Hu asked, "I don't know what to talk about." It's up to you to ask. β
Black Butterfly was a little embarrassed, but still spoke: "Our people have investigated, and I have also read your information. I know you lost everything in the last big war, your family, your friends......"
Shao Hu let out a long sigh and said, "So there is nothing to lose now, unless it is my life...... Actually, I don't like this life either, and it doesn't matter if I lose it. β
Black Butterfly said sorry, and then said, "Your life is important, don't you know?" β
Shao Hu said indifferently: "Really? β
Black Butterfly nodded and said, "If it weren't for you, I think our Beishan would have fallen long ago." We really want to thank you so much! β
Shao Hu still said: "Don't thank me. I don't know if it's right or wrong. β
Black Butterfly stopped talking.
At this time, the truck drove to the industrial area of Beishan, drove along the middle avenue for a while, turned east, drove for nearly half an hour, and then stopped.
Shao Hu opened his eyes and asked, "We're here?" β
"Yes, we're here." Black Butterfly wore a mask, handed Shao Hu another one, and said, "Get out of the car." β
Shao Hu got out of the car wearing a mask, still smelling a pungent stench, and when he looked up, he saw a mountain of garbage to the east, with dark fires flickering from time to time, emitting thick black smoke......
Black Butterfly took out another pack of masks from the back of the seat, walked to the back of the truck, and handed the masks to Aaron for everyone to wear.
So, the group smoked and walked into the garbage mountain.
