ACT 225: Red Wedding (B)
ACT225: Red Wedding (B)
The moment the firecrackers sounded, Wu Wentao's heart was cold, which meant that the wedding was held as scheduled, and it also meant that Jasmine did not pass the news to Song Jiu. There is no need to think much about the reason, Jasmine must have suffered an accident, otherwise Song Jiu would definitely not ignore his warning.
Wu Wentao arrived at the reef hill behind the island by lifeboat two hours ago, but as expected, the guards who were supposed to stay here disappeared without a trace, and the cabins built in the woods behind the reef were empty, with no corpses, no bloodstains, only a lingering smell of blood. The intruders were professional and did not leave any traces, if it weren't for Wu Wentao, if he was replaced by other changing guards on the island, he would definitely not find anything unusual. And the other party's purpose is obviously this, to stop the sentry post quietly, and leave no clues, so as to achieve the goal known to passers-by.
Wu Wentao didn't stay in the cabin for too long, it was connected to the trail to the cemetery, and he wanted to reach the coastal living area, which was a very difficult mountain forest area, if he turned back from here, he would encounter the enemy in ambush, and he was weak, Wu Wentao didn't dare to hold it up, so he bypassed the reef and returned to the lifeboat, intending to rush directly to the side of the lighthouse.
The identity of the intruder, Wu Wentao had no extra guesses, except for his old partner, he couldn't think of anyone else who had a reason to appear here. But this conjecture also puzzled him, Caroline tailgating is not uncommon, after all, the industrial park has been released, the partition laboratory has been destroyed, Kenny certainly won't rest on his laurels, but the question is, how did she find here? The sea is different from the land, not to mention that they have encountered a violent storm, so they can be grabbed by the tail? It's eyeless.
In addition, Wu Wentao also felt a little unfamiliar with his old partner's style of acting. To put it bluntly, this island relies on geographical advantages, in fact, there is no decent armed force, and it can be seen from the island's defense posts that it is a pure survivor refuge camp with almost no combat effectiveness. According to the old partner's usual style, he should rush to the island openly and honestly, casting a shadow on the island with the most direct blood and fire, but Caroline's operation this time has changed the norm, and the stability is a little abnormal.
Pulling out the sentry post step by step and meticulously cleaning up the traces, does she think this is a military base? Need to be so cautious in the face of a bunch of civilians?
Wu Wentao inspected the floating corpses of the cruise ship sentry, except for the water temperature, the guard should have died for more than two hours, and during that time, the entire island was basically still immersed in sleep, if Caroline went straight to the shot, more than half of the people might have to die in their sleep. Caroline didn't, however, and now it seems that she missed a great opportunity to give the island a breather.
With these questions, Wu Wentao arrived at the lighthouse area silently, when the sky was not bright, the bright light in the lighthouse window was still on, and there were no boats in the visible range of the sea area, and the wind and waves were calm.
Wu Wentao hesitated, he was not sure for a while, and he didn't know what to do. The lighthouse has a good view of the coastal area, and as long as the guards in the lighthouse are not blind, they will definitely be able to detect the danger one step ahead. After thinking about it, Lao Wu decided to slow down his pace first and wait for Song Jiu and them to come over and join him.
Wu Wentao even had a delusion at that time, maybe he was too sensitive, but he still did not escape from Kenny's shadow, the vast sea, looking for an unnamed island is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, maybe it is really other survivor groups? No matter what happened, Song Jiu and the others would find out after they came over, so as to dispel the uneasy thoughts in their hearts.
As a result, the people did not wait, but waited for the firecrackers to go off.
The sound of festive firecrackers in Wu Wentao's ears was tantamount to the clarion call for the beginning of the war, and he was not even sure whether it was firecrackers or gunfire that was noisy at the moment.
Wu Wentao thought of Huihui, made a decision, gritted his teeth and abandoned the ship ashore, holding the heavy machine gun and going straight to the lighthouse. The wooden door of the lighthouse was hidden, and the light from the window was still shining on the sea, Wu Wentao flashed in, looked up at the top of the ladder, and the cylindrical corner tower was dead silent, and there was a faint sound of water droplets. Wu Wentao's face froze completely, and he slowly approached the wooden ladder, and felt the dark red liquid that was winding down the log support, which was already cold.
Wu Wentao plugged in the latch of the door and climbed up with a dagger in his mouth, the two corpses were lying face down in the corner, plastic lunch boxes fell from the floor, hot porridge dripped dust down the cracks of the template, and an open thread-bound book fell in a pool of blood, already soaked. Wu Wentao squatted down and turned over the two corpses, a girl, a young man, the girl he still knows, it is the girl named Ye Qingmei, she is also a bridesmaid today, you can see that the young face is still wearing light makeup, the eyebrows and eyes are exquisite, very delicate; The young man's pants were half-faded in the crook of his knees, and his lower body was a mess and smelled foul.
Both of them were killed with one blow, their throats were cut by sharp weapons, Ye Qingmei's wound was particularly tragic, the murderer almost cut the girl's neck, and blood splattered out, spilling all over the narrow lookout.
Wu Wentao sighed gloomily, raised his hand to help the two close their frightened eyes, shook his head, got up and walked to the lookout window to look out, at this time the morning light was already shining through the sky, and it was breaking through the clouds one by one, struggling to splash the light, the brightness of the searchlight beam slowly faded, and the dense fog gradually dispersed.
In the distance, a huge silhouette can be faintly seen, and it is not really visible.
The roaring firecrackers are still exploding, and occasionally, there seems to be a gunfire hidden in it.
Wu Wentao frowned, turned off the searchlight, slid down the ladder as if flying, and rushed to the bride's stilted building.
……
In fact, 20,000 firecrackers can't go off for long, and under the premise of sufficient amount, they can be blown up for about five minutes, because they are hung separately, and they have to be hung again when they are burned out.
Ten minutes.
For the greeting procession, ten minutes is just enough for them to walk from the cabin to the stilted building; For others, a second can make the difference between life and death.
While Song Jiu looked at the pillow, Natalia's eyes also fell on the handle of the gun, Song Jiu was still one meter away from the bed, and Natalia's hand was just on the pillow.
The two ghost armed thugs muttered a few words against the piece of paper, as if they didn't find what they were looking for, one put away the paper, held up the gun, and the other pulled out the three-edged military thorn from his waist, and walked towards Song Jiu with a blank face.
The moment the armed thugs took their steps, a dense firecracker explosion sounded outside the stilted building, and the roaring cannon fire hit the nerves of the four people at the same time.
However, Song Jiu pounced.
In addition, the next scene once again made Song Jiu's chaotic thinking fall into a deep swamp.
The ghost guy holding the military stab turned around, Song Jiu's body made movements, and the two were almost in sync, and there was not even a deviation in time. But the other ghost guy was still in place, and holding the shiny automatic rifle, Song Jiu had seen it early in the morning, the gun head was open, and it could erupt at any time.
Song Jiu threw himself on the head of the bed, still maintaining the posture of reaching out and grabbing it, and saw Natalia, who was half-lying on the side of the bed, suddenly turned sideways, **'s body was rolled up in a thin quilt, and he rolled to the other side quickly, flashing at the same time, two rapid gunshots exploded in Song Jiu's ears.
'Bang! Bang! ’
The two bullets were almost inaudible, and they rose and went out in an instant, hidden in the noise of firecrackers.
Natalia landed on the ground, covering her chest with one hand and holding a shooting position with the other.
Song Jiu turned his head blankly, and the two armed thugs faced each other on their backs, and the back of their heads fainted with a pool of blood.
“……”
Song Jiu felt as if his brain had been struck by lightning, and he was stunned for a while, and slowly walked to the side of the ghost guy to pick up the gun and the military thorn, and glanced at it, the two of them had deep holes in their eyebrows, and their eyes were wide open, as if they hadn't reacted to what was happening.
"Song." Natalia suddenly spoke, pointed to the outside of the building where the firecrackers roared, and moved her mouth: "Go." ”
Song Jiu snapped back to his senses, looked at her deeply, picked up his rifle and rushed away.
……
"The bridegroom is here!"
Jimbo took the lead in helping the groom clear the way, and forced himself to break a way in the crowd, and Jiao Ziqian was surrounded by other people, screaming and moving forward, trying to keep up with Jimbo's footsteps. Jimbo was already having fun at this time, so he only rushed fast, and when he looked back, the groom was stopped in the middle of the road by the crowd, and it was difficult to walk.
"Fuck! Haven't eaten? Squeeze! ”
Jimbo was sweating, picked up the crowd and drilled back, and saw that Dr. Zhong was running away from the saddle vine with his ears covered, his eyes rolled, and he shouted, "Run!" Firecrackers are thrown in! The crowd of people who were close to him were shocked, and suddenly heard the deafening sound of cannons exploding around him, and one by one they scattered with red faces, and Jimbo laughed, squeezed in front of the bridegroom, grabbed his arms and ran.
Jiao Ziqian has been completely blindfolded, his face is intertwined with excitement and laughter, his mind is full of hugging his daughter-in-law, and he is not on the same channel as the lively crowd around him. was blocked and didn't know how to detour, stupidly squeezed forward by brute force, just one way over, the straight suit was squeezed out of the folds, the ceremonial flowers were crooked, and the top of his head was full of red confetti flying like snow.
Song Yao and the girls had already fallen behind, this was not a fight, there was no room for them to play at all, not to mention wearing a dress and stepping on high heels, and it was estimated that they would have to be rubbed by the salty pig's hands when they got involved in the crowd.
Fang Fei squatted on the edge of the bushes and panted, his face flushed, his face was full of smiles, and he said happily: "Song Jiuren, he won't come to help Ziqian." ”
"I guess I drank too much again." Song Yao is also tired enough, this kind of Chinese-style country wedding is really a bit unbearable, although it is all for the sake of festivity, but it is inevitable that there will be a mixture of people and dragons, and when I squeezed out just now, I was inexplicably pinched a few times, which made me angry and angry, but I couldn't do it, so I had to curse a few words in my heart.
"I'll go check it out, that's all for it." Luo Yu wiped the beads of sweat and said, "You have to be troubled by Yu'an and them when you enter the door, only Jin Bo can't do it." ”
"What about Lao Cao and Lao Dai?" Lucy blinked her eyes and said hurriedly: "They are strong and strong, so they are suitable for hitting the door." ”
"They're preparing at the venue, it should be soon." Luo Yu put up a pergola and looked at the coast, Cao Zheng pulled a bright banner on the flagpole of the yacht, and drew a huge love heart in the middle of the book 'Jiao Ziqian, Ying Doudou', and the banner was displayed in the wind, which was very good-looking.
"Let's wait a minute, let's take a breath." Song Yao fanned the wind with her hands, looked left and right, and snickered: "Let them work hard, let's go to Sister Jia's place to eat something, I'm hungry." ”
"That's exactly what I mean." Lucy squeezed her eyes narrowly, and the four girls laughed evilly, and ran arm in arm to the smoky cafeteria.
