Chapter 997: A Fork in the Road
Lao Zuo shook his head helplessly: "Liang Houzai is right, you are really a gambler." ”
I sighed: "Actually, I don't want to gamble, I also want to have the most reasonable choice for everything, but many times, many things, it is so unreasonable, no matter how you choose, there is a possibility of losing." ”
Lao Zuo was lying in the passenger seat with the back of his head in his arms, and fell into deep thought.
I've been in contact with Lao Zuo for so long, I'm used to him meditating when I'm driving, you know, I was driving at the beginning, he didn't do anything, just thinking about things there, this situation makes me quite unhappy, why do I drive this car for a long journey, but he is so relaxed, he can't drive and reason?
But as time goes by little by little, I understand a truth, that is, when you can't change something, then you have to accept it with peace of mind, take Lao Zuo as an example, I know that it is impossible for him to take the driver's license at this juncture, so I can only accept the fact that he can't drive.
From the Pamirs to Chengdu, and then from Chengdu to Yunnan, the continuous long-distance trek quickly drained Lao Zuo's energy and me, in fact, the long-distance trek was not the main thing, the main thing was that the worries and apprehensions along the way were too torturous nerves.
Before entering, Lao Zuo called Zhuang Youxue, and Zhuang Youxue asked Jin Qianqian, who was based in Yunnan, to pick us up and promised Xing Wei to arrive soon.
In this case, it would be more reassuring to have someone from the special operations team to help.
Jin Xiangqian first arranged a place for me and Lao Zuo to rest for one night, I didn't dare to be so lazy, so I urged Jin Xiangqian to learn about the situation on the Yunnan border.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Jin Xiangqian came back and said that everything was fine on the southern border and that no suspicious person had been found.
Hearing this, I finally let out a long breath, it seems that Zuwu and his party are indeed not as fast as us.
At the same time, however, I am increasingly worried that the Ancestral Witch will be diverted to the South Seas via Afghanistan or Tajikistan, and although we have some scattered colleagues in Central Asia, it is impossible to trap the Ancestral Witch by relying on them.
In any case, even if the Ancestor was to make a detour back to Central Asia, it would take a long time to reach the South Seas, so that we would have enough time to make all the arrangements in the South Seas.
After Kim walked forward, I couldn't bear the huge exhaustion anymore, and I fell asleep as soon as I stuck to the pillow.
It can't be called a deep sleep anymore, it's just a complete coma.
When I got up, there was snoring in the guest house, and I ran into the corridor to see that the doors of three rooms were open, Li Huaishan and the others were lying in it and were sleeping soundly, and Jin Qianqian was carrying a semi-automatic rifle and was keeping vigil for us in the corridor.
I looked at my watch, and it was half past twelve in the morning.
"How long did I sleep?" As I walked towards Kim, I pulled out a cigarette and lit it.
Jin Xiangqian glanced back at me, and immediately grinned: "Wow, your physique is really bull X, and you are so energetic after only four hours of sleep." ”
"How can you tell I'm spiritual?"
"You had dark circles under your eyes when you came, and then look at you now, the person with a red face, you have completely recovered at a glance."
"Ergou, why is the door of their room open?"
"They asked for it themselves, saying that it was so that you and the left head could wake them up whenever something happened, they were too tired to knock on the door and might not be able to hear it. Next, you have to ask about the southern border, don't worry, there is no movement on the border for the time being. ”
I nodded, opened the window, and exhaled the smoke.
Jin Xiangqian stood aside and stared straight at me with a complicated look in his eyes.
I glanced at him, "Why are you looking at me like that?" ”
Jin Xiangqian smiled: "Do you remember the first time we met?" At that time, the second master hadn't passed on the bone-destroying hand to you, and you were still a newcomer. it, it's only been a few years...... Looking at your current appearance, I can't even think that this is the kid I saw in the old forest in the northeast. ”
I also smiled: "I didn't expect that the firehead soldier who helped us cook at the beginning is now also promoted to the regimental level." ”
Jin Xiangqian deliberately covered his epaulettes, a little embarrassed.
I have to say that Jin Xiangqian has been raised so quickly in the past two years, and I remember that when I first met him, he was still a big soldier.
Kim asked me for a cigarette and went to the middle of the hallway to smoke, so I leaned against the window and dialed a practical phone.
Ever since I was in the mountains, I have always been a little uneasy, and I always feel that I have to get in touch with the practical so that I can feel at ease.
Soon the phone was connected, and the familiar and friendly voice of the utility came from the other side: "Why did you remember to call me, the matter of Buzhou Mountain has been dealt with?" ”
Hearing his voice, my heart was half at peace.
I asked him, "What are you doing here, why are you making so much noise?" ”
Practical sighed on the other end of the phone: "The ceiling of the hotel was not installed for us, so I found someone from the decoration team and asked them to rush to work in the middle of the night." Alas, these little young officers are just unreliable, and they don't know how to check the ceiling after it is installed. You're ...... in the middle of the night, What the hell is looking for me? ”
Hearing these words, the stone in my heart finally fell to the ground.
I told the practical side of the experience of the first few days in Buzhou Mountain, and asked him to analyze what the ancestral witch would do next, and practical said that from the current situation, the ancestral witch may indeed go to Nanyang, but I also need to consider where the ancestral witch will go if he does not go to the South Seas.
I was a little confused: "Zuwu has no place in the country, besides, didn't we decide early on, Zuwu will definitely go south and exit the country next?" ”
Practical said: "I didn't say that he would definitely go south and leave the country, because you can't guarantee that the news that Zhou Shan is going south will be true, maybe they spread such news in the first place to divert your attention?" ”
Not to mention, there is indeed such a possibility!
I asked Shiji, "Sixth Uncle, in your opinion, should we run to the south to guard?" ”
At this time, the noise on the other end of the phone suddenly became stronger, and Practical didn't seem to hear my question, so he quickly muttered a few words and hung up the phone.
I didn't hear all of what he said, only vaguely heard the words "haven't been" and "probably the target".
My guess is that the practical indication might be that the places that Buzhou Shan hasn't been to in these years may be their final destination. There are not many places in the country that can be called secret realms, judging from the investigation documents uploaded by the previous organization, Buzhou Mountain has traveled almost all the known secret realms in China, but has never been to the Longling area, and the practical words are actually to tell me that the ancestral witch will go to Longling.
But this is probably just practical speculation.
Indeed, if you don't go to Longling Mountain, you may indeed be afraid that we will be eyeing the land of Longling, if this is the case, it means that this place is extremely important to Buzhou Mountain, and the ancestral witch may also go there.
However, speculations like this are unfounded and cannot be taken seriously.
After hanging up the practical phone, I lit another cigarette and leaned against the windowsill and smoked silently.
Now all I can do is wait silently.
At three o'clock in the morning, my mobile phone suddenly trembled uneasily, and I lit up the screen to see that it was a call from Mr. Sun.
As soon as I pressed the connect button, I heard Mr. Sun shouting on the other end of the phone: "Quick, go to the border, people from Buzhoushan have appeared on the border of Yunnan!" ”
Mr. Sun's tone was filled with a bad smell of big things, and I hurriedly asked, "How many people are there and how far are they from the border?" ”
"Thirteen people, there are less than two hundred kilometers to leave the country!"
And less than two hundred kilometers? Why hasn't the news come until now!
Also, why are there thirteen people, plus the ancestral witch, there should be fourteen people in this line!
There's a problem, there's definitely a problem here.
But at the moment I didn't have time to think about it, so I hurriedly called the rooms up, and everyone didn't have time to clean up, so I rushed out of the guest house and drove straight to the border.
I don't know what kind of arrangement Mr. Sun has made on the border line, but listening to his tone just now, it is obvious that his arrangement cannot trap the people of Buzhoushan.
It was still early, there were almost no cars on the road, and I didn't know how many times I had run a few red lights and exceeded my speed, but I didn't dare to slow down anyway.
We can't fight people on the border, because it would be easy for them to cross the border and flee, and we have to intercept them halfway.
Fifteen minutes later, Mr. Sun called again: "If you turn another fork in the road, you can see the car of Buzhoushan, and the license plate number is Yue Axxxxx." ”
I didn't have time to figure out how Mr. Sun knew where we were and how he knew that we were going to hit someone who was not going to be able to do it right now, so all I could do now was to slam on the gas pedal and increase the speed to the maximum.
After a few breaths, I drove into the fork in the road, and I saw an off-road vehicle with a Guangdong A license plate driving towards the intersection, followed by three other cars.
The next moment, I shouted, "Sit tight!" He slammed the steering wheel and pushed the front of the car against the side door of the oncoming off-road vehicle.
There was a muffled bang, and the other party was directly knocked off the course by me, and his head was on the curb of the road, and my car was obviously deformed, and all the airbags were deployed.
Immediately followed by two sharp sounds, Li Huaishan's car and Liu Shangang's car respectively forced the other party's two cars to stop, but there was still one car on the opposite side that was not damaged.
The first three cars accelerated sharply, and the last car braked halfway, watching the situation from afar, until our cars were all seriously damaged, and then it increased its throttle and rushed towards the intersection.
I quickly stepped on the accelerator twice, damn it, the car broke down!
Seeing that the car was getting closer and closer to the intersection, I exclaimed: "Old Zuo!" As he spoke, he kicked the car door and rolled over and got out of the car.
