ACT 99: Pull the tiger's skin to make a big flag
act99: Tearing tiger skin to make a banner in the past, the overcrowded snack street is now reduced to the wind and rain, the dazzling signboards are washed away by the rain, and the bronzing words shine in the haze world, silently telling the glory of the past.
Two figures ran wildly under the rain curtain street, the criss-crossing lanes of the snack street provided great cover for the two, with Lin Daochang's human gps on the side, the streets and alleys extending in all directions instantly became a labyrinth of chasing soldiers, and after several tosses, the two disappeared from the field of vision of the pursuers.
In front of a time-honored mutton steamed bun restaurant, two young people panted like cows, squeezed through the wooden door in disrepair with their short bodies, and a long-sealed damp and moldy smell poured into their noses.
The dimly lit lobby was full of messes, tables and chairs were scattered, covered with a thick layer of dust, and the corners of the pillars were covered with cobwebs.
There used to be a dried corpse sitting under the mouth, the dried body was like a sculpture, the chest cavity was shriveled, outlining clear ribs, the head fell next to the withered hands and claws, a long haired yellow like fluffy grass, the eye sockets were deep, the teeth were black and yellow, staring straight at the position where the two were resting, the expression seemed to be smiling but not smiling, very weird.
Song Jiu took off his white coat and wiped his wet hair, and handed it to Lin Daochang next to him, who glared at him angrily.
He has always had long hair, and in order to play the role of a fake Taoist priest, he also deliberately tied a crown and a scarf, and it was more troublesome to clean it than a woman.
The violent running shook off the mixed yuan scarf, and the iron crown didn't know where it was lost, at this moment, his long hair was scattered, and he was wet by the wind and rain, and he was wearing a Taoist robe, like Ouyang Feng who had gone crazy.
"It's not that I'm saying it's too easy to die with you." Lin Daochang tore off a strand of cloth and tied up his long hair, and scolded and said, "Can we not think of a play, play with your life?" Song Jiu listened to him complain with a smile, and said happily: "Isn't it exciting? ”
"Stimulus." Lin Daochang nodded heavily, a smile just appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he suddenly remembered that he was expressing his dissatisfaction, and hurriedly straightened his face again: "It's not good to be stimulated!" I'll tell you, I will never come next time there is such a thing, I won't say anything about fighting bayonets, there are guns on the other side, isn't this death! ”
"We also have guns, don't be afraid." Song Jiu shook the rifle in his hand, this thing was a world of difference from the earthen shotgun he used before, and the feeling in his hand was different.
"Anyway, I'm embarrassed to say that your marksmanship has hit even one person?" Lin Daochang rolled his eyes and teased: "If you are not skilled in business, it is not easy to give you cannons." ”
"What's that, didn't they beat us too?" Song Jiu was not angry at all, leaned against the wall and gasped for a while, vaguely heard footsteps approaching in the alleyway outside the door, and hurriedly got up and dragged the fake Taoist priest to the second floor of the steamed bun restaurant.
The time-honored brands with relatively large facades in the snack street are all antique pavilion buildings, the second floor is semi-closed, like an ancient restaurant, the square table is placed next to the fence, and you can see the cornice arch bucket below if you owe the body.
The two of them peeked their heads out of the way, and through the rain curtain, they saw four or five people coming from this alley, and the muzzles of their guns wandered at various forks, gradually slowing down.
"Why are there fewer people?" Lin Daochang counted the heads and said strangely, "What about the others?" Don't chase it? ”
"I'm looking for it separately." Song Jiu put on the poncho hood and said in a low voice: "Whatever you want, let's break them one by one." Lin Daochang pondered the same reason, hesitantly poking the barrel out of the fence, squinting and proofreading the crosshair.
Song Jiu lightly pressed the gun and whispered, "Don't shoot, it will attract others." ”
"What's going on? Go down and fight the bayonet? ”
"Wait and see." Song Jiu licked his lips, squinted into the distance, and asked, "Why aren't there any walking corpses around here?" ”
"Yes, I took you through those alleys, didn't you see them?"
"I mean the larger hordes of corpses." As soon as Lin Daochang heard this, he guessed that he wanted to make it bad again, and pouted: "This thing has to rely on luck, there are corpses everywhere you go, and today we are lucky that we didn't encounter a group of corpses crossing the street." The two of them conspired for a while, and when they looked up, the team had already chased towards the fork on the other side, and did not notice the movement on the upper floor beside them, and the torrential rain had eliminated the traces, and the two people who were bent on hiding were really not so easy to catch.
Lao Lin breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the ground, and muttered, "Why is Liu Yan so slow, we have been walking around this area for half an hour, right?" Why is there still no movement at the train station? ”
"It should be about the same, there are no gunners in the car, and the soldiers are bloodless." Song Jiu was full of confidence in the left-behind department around the island, and the two left marks along the way, Liu Yan was thoughtful, and he would definitely be able to find clues, and the pursuers were divided into several pieces by the criss-crossing lanes, just waiting for Liu Yan to bring people to help, and eat them away one by one.
Song Jiu thought it was very beautiful, but he didn't notice that the team just now did not go far, but crossed the fork diagonally opposite the steamed bun restaurant and joined the rest of the teams.
Who is Wu Wentao, when he partnered with Caroline, he chased in the wild mountains for a few days under the torrential rain, and finally hit the power station with his heels, almost killing Ming Junwei and others, and it is not easy to trace the traces in the city?
The news came from the train that the three men had kidnapped Dr. Chung, and when they were in pursuit, they found that the other party's car had left first, and only two people were obviously taking them in circles.
The vanguard team was confused by Song Jiu in a white coat, and did not shoot rashly in order to ensure the safety of Dr. Zhong.
Wu Wentao immediately put the blame on Yu An's head, this is the intuition of the knife licking blood, after all, the enemy appeared too coincidentally, and the target was too obvious.
Since the other party's target is a doctor, it means that their team needs medical assistance, so it is a little more reassuring to think about it, at least Dr. Zhong will be safe for a short time.
In addition, the kidnappers made a special trip to leave the two of them to attract attention, which is also easy to explain, but they are only worried about directing fire to their base area, which is also a sign of weakness in the final analysis.
However, he only guessed half right, probably because he was used to being crushed, and he never thought that Song Jiu's target would be a train.
If you follow Song Jiu's assumption at the beginning, presumably the experienced Wu Wentao will suffer a big loss, after all, it is an indisputable fact that the guards on the train are empty, and today's shotguns around the island are replaced by guns, and in terms of firepower alone, Wu Wentao is not lost at all.
It's a pity that Dr. Zhong revealed the identity of the train conductor in the bar in a hurry, and Liu Yan happened to be the only one among the people who knew Wu Wentao.
Wu Wentao scattered the people, blocked all the passages on several sides of the steamed bun restaurant in a closed circle, stood under the tree and smoked a cigarette, leisurely, unhurried.
Lin Daochang is familiar with the route, but the means of concealing his tracks are very ordinary, the footprints on the road are washed away by the rain, and it is naturally impossible to distinguish, but the water stains left on the doors and windows that should be dusty are particularly conspicuous.
Song Jiu and the others were careless, but they didn't expect that these people not only had a rough physique and strong weapons, but also had such meticulous observation.
Not long after the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, a bullet quietly pierced through the rain curtain and hit the big red lantern in the middle of the ceiling on the second floor.
This lantern is an ornament, in the past, every holiday, the hotel will do some reward activities, the way to play the steamed bun house is to knock the lantern.
Instead of candlesticks, the lanterns are stuffed with colorful confetti and prizes such as vouchers.
God came to a shot through the hole, the cloth was torn apart, the confetti scattered in the sky, the strong wind swept into the pavilion, and the colorful crumbs flew for a while, gorgeous and dazzling.
The scene is quite beautiful, but the two people sitting under the fence are dumbfounded, although they are not experts in playing with guns, they can also judge that something is not good from the trajectory of a shot from outside the sky.
The second floor of the restaurant is not high, but it is impossible to hit the center of the ceiling from the ground, there is only one possibility, that is, the other party has climbed the high ground with a line of sight, and two people may have been found.
"It's a mess." Lin Daochang had a bitter face and let out a long sigh.
"Don't panic." Song Jiu calmed down, his mind changed sharply, and said: "If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move." Lin Daochang's face was full of black lines, and he couldn't tell whether Song Jiu was serious or joking, and he wanted to raise his hand to surrender, but when he heard Song Jiu say this, he hesitated and didn't know what to do.
The gunman on the opposite floor gestured to Wu Wentao, who nodded, casually threw the cigarette butt to the ground, squinted through the rain curtain, and shouted with full anger: "People inside, get out of here." The two men huddled by the fence did not move, looking at each other with strange expressions.
"Give you five seconds, or it's hard to say where the next shot will be." Wu Wentao yawned, looking at his expression and seemed to feel a little bored, he rubbed his face with a handful of rainwater, looked up and shouted to the gunman: "Don't kill you, you want to live." Lao Lin was anxious when he heard this, and said in a panic: "Then I'll get out first?" Song Jiu glanced at him, and while getting up, he said, "Don't shoot, surrender." As he spoke, he slowly stood up, half of his body exposed.
Song Jiu saw that a soup dumpling shop diagonally opposite was higher than this side, and a gunman was lying on top of the cornice, and the cold muzzle of the gun was pointed directly at this side; The seven or eight people downstairs held their guns high, and they didn't have to guess to know that the front, back, left and right exits must have been sealed.
Lin Daochang then slowly stood up, and the two of them raised their hands high, looking ready to surrender.
"You're still laughing?" Lin Daochang scolded angrily and said, "I was killed by you this time." ”
"Steady." Song Jiu took a deep breath and said cheekily: "Dude, borrow your doctor's envoy, don't do this." ”
"If you don't ask, you steal." Wu Wentao dragged a sentence, couldn't help but be a little complacent, paced downstairs without being in a hurry or impatience, and said, "Bring the doctor back to me unscathed, I won't kill you." ”
"No problem." Song Jiu agreed very happily, and Lin Daochang on the side puffed out his eyes and looked full of doubts.
Wu Wentao grinned, wiped the water droplets from his hair, and said, "What are you waiting for?" Do you want me to pull you down myself? ”
"No, we haven't talked about it yet." Song Jiu slowly lowered his hand, and while paying attention to the movements of the gunman opposite, he said, "You think about it carefully, you can only choose one of the two." Wu Wentao frowned, not understanding what the kid upstairs meant.
"Doctor or train, which do you want?" Song Jiu sneered, pointed at the gunman opposite, and said, "Let your people remove the muzzle of the gun, you come up, let's talk." Wu Wentao's eyes rolled, and he sneered: "Follow me to this?" Boy, are you a long-term disdain? ”
"Don't you have a radio?" Song Jiu was not stunned at all, and said leisurely: "Go and ask." Lin Daochang on the side was drenched in cold sweat and said nervously: "Are you sure?" ”
"Nope." Song Jiu moved his lips and said quickly: "If you don't pretend, it's like how to delay time." ”
"......" Wu Wentao was a little stunned by his two sentences, seeing that he looked confident and confident, he couldn't help but have some doubts, if they had the ability to sweep the train station, why did they go to kidnap the doctor first?
I contacted the train ten minutes ago, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. After thinking about it, Wu Wentao felt that he decided to act cautiously, and turned around and instructed his subordinates to contact the railway station to report the situation.
Song Jiu was also playing a drum in his heart, the time before and after was not very accurate, and he didn't dare to guarantee whether Liu Yan had successfully carried out the task, the expression on his face remained unchanged, but his eyes kept scanning around, trying to find a way out.
The two sides were silent for a few minutes, and a foreigner lowered his head and whispered a few words to Wu Wentao, Wu Wentao's face changed, and he immediately returned to normal.
"Boy, what's the trick? Keep going. Wu Wentao continued to taunt, waved his hand behind his back, and a few foreigners behind him understood, and sent a signal to the alley behind the steamed bun restaurant, signaling those people to retreat first.
The person in charge of contact reported that there was no reply from the other side, and he did not know why. Song Jiu didn't answer immediately, the distance was quite far, and he didn't know what news Wu Wentao had gotten, but the latter's still standing still gave him a little more confidence for no reason.
frowned and thought about it, and continued to say stiffly: "Let your people put down their weapons and talk about it." ”
"You're testing my patience." Wu Wentao's brows furrowed, and he planned to give the order to shoot, no matter what the situation was at the station, the armed firepower was all by his side, and it was a big deal to go back and grab it back later.
At this moment, the foreigner in charge of communication seemed to have received some information, hurriedly approached Wu Wentao's side, and handed Wu Wentao a brick-sized machine.
Wu Wentao took the radio and clicked the button, and there was a noisy sound in the sound hole, and after a while, a man's voice came out.
"Captain Wu, long time no see, Kenny misses you very much, let's meet and talk." ...
