Chapter 53: Clean-up Operations
In the night, an old train headed towards the princess ridge with a strong northwest wind, and when the wind swept around the train, it made a sharp whistling sound, which matched the atmosphere in the carriage at this time, which made the atmosphere even more tense to the freezing point.
The whistling wind made Wu Qi suddenly react, and when he saw the knife slashing horizontally towards his neck, he wanted to hide but couldn't dodge, gritting his teeth and grabbing the arm he wanted to get. At that time, it was very dark in the carriage, and the heat could be seen between breathing, only because the blade was snow-white and bright, it could be vaguely seen, but for the person who got it, it was almost a shaking black shadow, if Wu Qi didn't catch it this time, it would have to make people bleed. But he really couldn't catch it, his fingers touched the man's sleeve, but he found that the position was too low, and he didn't block it at all, and watched the knife run to his neck, and it seemed that only one of them died.
"Bang!" There was a sudden muffled sound in front of Wu Qi, and then there was the sound of glass breaking and boiling water splashing, thanks to Wu Qi raising his hand to block his neck, after hearing the movement, he instinctively raised it a little more to block his face, a pile of debris and water poured on his body, and there was a burst of hot air, it seemed that the hot water kettle full of hot water was broken.
The man with the knife was staring intently at the place where the knife was about to be cut, but he didn't expect such a sudden out, seeing that the blade was about to cut through Wu Qi's neck, he suddenly felt something abnormal behind him, and after he reacted, a hot water kettle flew from nowhere and smashed on his head, and the hot water broken glass flew sideways, not only was burned by the hot water, but also felt that the side was cut open by the broken glass, and the pain was so painful that he withdrew his hand to touch the sore spot on his head.
In the past, the old kettle was also made of glass on the inside, but on the outside it was made of hard rattan frame, which was both insulated and not hot. In this extremely low atmosphere, boiling water splashes are everywhere. I heard a loud bang, and a large amount of hot air rose up. Wu Qi protected his face but his hands were burned, but at this time he didn't have time to care about the pain in his hands, seeing that the man seemed to have been hit by a hot water bottle, he supported the carriage behind him with both hands in a half-leaning posture, and kicked out with his legs violently at the position of the rib bone on the side of the man.
Wu Qi made a ruthless move. This kick used great force, the man was defenseless at all, and the whole person was kicked into the air and threw himself on the wooden chair on the side, breaking the armrest and falling to the ground, making a chaotic noise. Wu Qi gasped and got up, felt the darkness to find the person's position, and was just about to reach out to pull him up, but he was stopped by a force behind him, and he didn't bend down. And at this moment, a silver white streak crossed his neck, only slightly rubbed, and if he bent down, his entire throat would have to be cut.
Wu Qi was stunned, and suddenly saw a leg pop out of his side, kicking directly on the ground with a black shadow, and the person who kicked it let out a muffled scream. Immediately afterwards, Wu Qi was pushed away, and staggered back a few steps before holding on to the wooden chair and standing still. When he raised his eyes, he found that there were two black shadows entangled outside the two or three woods, and they also shook as the train swayed, but when they saw their fists and feet hitting each other quickly, Wu Qidu was dumbfounded and didn't react and stepped forward to help, but he couldn't help much, so dark that he couldn't tell the enemy from me. I don't know how I died.
The battle between the two black shadows lasted only four or five seconds, and with a muffled sound of fists hitting the flesh, there were suddenly several sounds of sharp weapons piercing cotton clothes, and after a painful sound came out, the carriage fell silent. There was no sound for a long time, but Wu Qi smelled a smell of blood, and he panicked in his heart, so he quickly retreated a few steps back.
Suddenly, the dim light on the top of the carriage turned on again, but it flickered, Wu Qi saw a person standing in the aisle, holding a long dagger in his hand, his chest and abdomen were also rising and falling rapidly, and there was a pool of black blood under his feet, which looked injured or dead. Just like that, in the shaking of the train, the electric lights gradually stopped flickering, Wu Qi saw the person who was still standing at this time, wearing the flight attendant's work clothes, and looked carefully, isn't this the young flight attendant who woke him up when he was delivering hot water just now?
Wu Qi still didn't understand what was going on, why did that person suddenly pull out a knife and want to kill him, why did this flight attendant kill him again? What's going on? The only thing Wu Qi could think of, that is, the purpose of his trip, was to send a letter to the Dong squad leader of the communications squad, so he naturally thought that this person might be an enemy agent to grab information, but he didn't know who this flight attendant was, and he couldn't tell the difference between friend and foe and I didn't dare to be careless, Wu Qi lowered his eyes and looked for things everywhere, and suddenly found that there was a broken and fallen seat armrest, and quickly bent down to pick it up and hold it in his hand, staring at the back of the flight attendant very nervously.
Just when Wu Qi's heart was still beating wildly, he suddenly saw the flight attendant leaning down again, and slashed a few times at the position of the person's heart lying in the aisle without moving, which clearly meant that he must be killed, which was a bit too ruthless. But after the flight attendant had made up for a few knives, the knife was still on the man's chest, and he touched the man with his free hand, took out a few pieces of blood-stained paper from his pocket, opened it and looked at it a few times, then crumpled it into a ball and stuffed it back into his pocket. Then he stood up and rubbed the blood stains on his body, there was no expression on his face, but he was a little tired from fighting just now, but he didn't have a trace of panic, it seemed that killing someone was as easy as stepping on a bug, Wu Qi grabbed the wooden stick with both hands, and his teeth were a little chattering.
"Find a place to hide after going to Siping, don't run around, that letter is for you, it's too late to wait until the place is seen!" The flight attendant didn't even turn his head to look at Wu Qi, and directly spoke.
Wu Qi didn't react yet, and said with some surprise: "Who are you?" ”
The flight attendant untied the unsuitable overalls and threw them on the dead man, revealing a uniform that looked like a military uniform but didn't look like it, and looked particularly impressive, as if he had seen this dress somewhere before. Suddenly, Wu Qi was stunned, and the wooden strip in his hand also fell to the ground, and a somewhat blurry picture crossed in front of his eyes. It was in the old bathhouse in Lushi County, and their brothers were attacked by many dead people who were regained because of the black copper taro sandalwood, Wu Qi didn't remember the situation too clearly, he was not lightly injured, but he could remember the dead people who rushed in from outside the door with a rancid smell, just when their brothers couldn't resist the old Wu and died together, Li Huan brought a group of people to save them, and there were a few strangely dressed people at that time, and they also knew how to deal with those dead people, and their methods and actions were particularly calm and skillful. Thinking back to this, the person in front of him at this time was wearing almost the same clothes as those people at that time, could it be that he was Li Huan's person?
The mysterious man turned his head to look at Wu Qi, he was about the same age as Wu Qi, but his face was cold and unusually unusual, and there was no superfluous expression.
"There is an accident in the Five Elements Group, the captain has begun to clean up the operation, I am ordered to let you reach Siping safely, don't make a noise and don't tell anyone, after the operation is over, someone will go to find it, that letter was written to you by the captain, then you will understand, remember not to hide quietly, I can only protect you this time! Be careful yourself in the future! Try to hold out until we come to you. ”
Wu Qi stood stunned in place, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and after he finally cleared up a little, he just found his tongue to speak, but there was no one anymore, and there was still a pool of blood in the aisle, as well as a drag of blood. Wu Qi didn't dare to follow over to take a look, looking at the mess in the carriage, only then did he rub his sore spot and shiver a little, hurriedly went to find the coat and put it on, and after stepping over the pool of blood, he took his backpack and ran to the door of the carriage and squatted down, and finally suppressed his frightened feelings, leaned his head against the door, and suddenly remembered the letter.
After the encounter just now, Wu Qi's whole body was still a little trembling, and he took out the letter from his bag tremblingly. When Wu Qi took out the letter, he took a look, because he saw with his own eyes that Team Leader Dong wrote something on a piece of paper and put it in an envelope, but there were two pieces of paper in the envelope, one seemed to be written by Team Leader Dong, which was about the transfer of personnel in the communication team, and the writing was a little messy and incoherent, and it felt like he was making up words. The other one was stacked several times, and after Wu Qi turned it on by the dim light, it turned out that this was the real thing.
There are not many things written in the letter, but the handwriting is vigorous and powerful, and the writer can be associated with the font guò, which should be written by Li Huan. Wu Qi was very anxious at first, but he looked around vigilantly, and after making sure that there was no one else, he looked at the content of the letter, and immediately understood what was going on.
It turned out that before the national army withdrew from the mainland, the person in charge of the original 16 institutes took the people of the research institute to join the new regime in advance, and the researchers actually didn't have any ideas, as long as there was a place where they could engage in scientific research, they didn't care too much about the outside affairs, it was similar to the meaning of the change of owner, anyway, it would be fine if it didn't affect them.
But this Five Elements Group is different, they have more ideas, Li Huan is the captain of the Fire Group, he is also the chief captain of the Five Elements Group, the dozens of people below all obey his orders, and he said to stay at the beginning, so the Sixteen Institutes and the Five Elements Group are all very intact. But not everyone agrees, since before the liberation of the Five Elements Group there have been very subtle differences, led by Chen Yumiao, a group of people, are planning some things behind the scenes, in 52 years, in addition to Li Huan's fire group, the other four groups of people have taken refuge in Chen Yumiao, their primary purpose is to destroy the 16th Institute, not to let the new regime have some development.
But Li Huan already knew about what was going on between them, and as early as fifty-two years ago, he secretly recruited and trained a group of people by himself, that is, those people wearing mysterious uniforms that appeared in Lushi County. And Wu Qi is Li Huan deliberately let Chen Yumiao know that he was recruiting, forcing her to start in advance or simply give up, which also left her a chance, if she had to be so persistent, Li Huan had to carry out a big cleanup.
