Chapter 24: Latent
By four o'clock in the afternoon, we had a full meal, and the Iron Army told us to eat as much as we could. I understand what Tiejun means, if we are unlucky, we may not be able to eat a meal in the next day or two.
After that, we all wore mine overalls. I went to the garage with the truck driver.
The mechanics of the army are very powerful, and in such a short time, we have made a large dark compartment under the rear compartment of the truck, and there is a small door on the left and right sides of it, and we can hide in it after opening the door.
But there is also a problem, I should go to the dark grid to lie down and feel it, and find that it is not very spacey, and it can lie down for two people.
I pointed to us and asked the mechanic, "How is this going to squeeze us?" Why can't you make the dark compartment bigger? ”
The mechanic also has his reasons, saying that he had tried, but no matter how big it is, it will be conspicuous, and it is easy to leak the target.
I sighed helplessly, because it had come to this. I said to Tie Jun and Big Mouth seriously. "Since this secret compartment can only accommodate two people, I won't fight. Withdraw from this life-saving operation. ”
Tie Jun and Big Mouth both looked at me coldly and didn't answer. And I commanded them both. I'm going to make sure I'm safe and so on.
But after I finished speaking, Tie Jun heyed, grabbed me with a tacit understanding with Big Mouth, and first stuffed me into the dark compartment, what does this mean, it goes without saying.
I emphasized to Tie Jun that I am really not afraid of death and danger, but among us, I am the most average, even if I go to two people, it will not be my turn.
Tie Jun had his idea, saying that I should let Big Mouth and I get in like this first, and then he would find a way to meet us in the mine at that time.
And he also has a mine plan. Agree with us at a meeting point. It's not a good place, it's just a dry toilet with a bad corner.
Big Mouth was very obedient and answered. Also drill into the dark grid.
When the truck driver gets into the car, he gets up and leaves. Tie Jun remembered something for a while, and he asked the mechanic, "Did you bring that thing?" ”
The mechanic nodded, and pulled a palm-sized bag out of his coat pocket.
Tie Jun solemnly handed over the bag to me and Big Mouth, and said, "There is a clever plan here, when you go to the mine, if you encounter any sudden danger, open it and crack it freely." ”
I can feel that the Iron Army is clearly imitating Zhuge Liang, because this Liang Zai in the Three Kingdoms period likes to play this mysterious, and he will give tips on the generals at every turn.
I didn't care about that, I didn't have that mood to argue, I collected the tips with the big mouth, and closed the dark compartment again.
The truck began to move under the sound of clanging and clanging, and there were air vents on both sides of our dark compartment, so that Big Mouth and I did not suffocate, but we had to endure the smell of gasoline in the exhaust of the car.
I'm still touching the bag, in fact, I really want to open it and take a look, and I feel that I am a man, I should be a little patient, don't be so anxious.
I guessed in my heart what was going to be in this bag. It should feel like a canist, and I thought of bombs, and then I thought of biological weapons.
Anyway, my brain was opened, and after a while, I was able to connect with a lot of weird things. Finally I forced my thoughts down and put the bag in a corner.
Because I'm afraid that if I think about it any longer, I'll get delusions. During this period, the big mouth was quite leisurely, he looked out through the air hole, and hummed songs from time to time.
The truck was bumpy and I tried to learn to have a big mouth, but it wasn't comfortable at all.
The big mouth gradually became sleepy, and he fell asleep. I stared wide-eyed and stayed up for more than an hour.
The truck went into the suburbs and ended up in a place that resembled a construction site. I watched through the vents.
However, I can only see part of it. I found that there were also high walls around the "construction site", and even the iron gate of the main entrance was very large, guarded by two men who were five big and three thick.
The truck stopped in front of the big iron gate, and the driver jumped out of the car after turning off the engine. With a cigarette in hand, he ran over to greet the two guards.
I woke up Big Mouth, and we listened quietly to their conversation.
What they say, nothing serious. The doorman meant that the truck driver should be quicker when he was loading, and it was better to finish the work before nine o'clock, otherwise they would not be able to sleep and would have to wait.
The truck driver came down and said some meat jokes, like asking these two buddies to push oil together when he was free.
I guess this place is too remote to usually have access to any entertainment, and the two guards are very excited to respond as soon as they hear about the oil push.
The truck driver felt that the atmosphere was almost the same, and told the guard about letting him go. I thought we'd be in the mines next, and who knew there was a routine check.
Two guards walked over to the truck with flashlights. On one side, they kept shining a flashlight on the truck.
My big mouth and I didn't dare to make a sound, and I couldn't hold my breath. When the two of them checked the rear of the car, I thought it was finally over, and who knew that there was movement in the big iron gate.
There was also a small door in the iron gate, and then the small door opened, and a man with a wolf dog came out.
Not only was Big Mouth and I taken aback, but the truck driver was also surprised. He also asked the two buddies at the gatekeeper, "What's going on?" ”
One of the guards said, "The manager spoke last night, and we will step up patrols and strictly check passing vehicles to prevent accidents." ”
The truck driver was chattering about this, this, and I thought it must be the bandits, who were worried that the police would chase them here.
My head was sweating a little, especially the wolf dog, which was dragged by its owner, but always had the urge to pounce on the truck.
If Big Mouth and I don't think of anything else, we will be sure to be discovered by the wolf dog for a while, and even be pulled out of the dark by these people.
I secretly hit my mouth with my elbow, what does that mean? The big mouth gestured to me again, don't you have a bag? Take it apart and take a look.
I don't quite believe in this tip, and if you think about it, even if you have a bomb in it, what good is it for our current predicament?
I just opened the bag and took out a can of air freshener while I was still in a daze.
I looked at this jar, that is, I couldn't use it in the dark, otherwise I would have to jump to my feet and scold, and my heart said that this is the trick of the Iron Army?
By this time, the owner of the dog had already approached us with the wolfdog. I was sweating and was anxious to touch my waist.
When Dazui and I came, we both brought guns, and I originally wanted to bring a few palm mines, but the iron army didn't let them, for fear of bumps along the way, and this palm thunder didn't explode accidentally.
I want to hold my gun tightly right now, and I think I can't do it in a moment.
Big Mouth stared at the air freshener and pondered. Soon, he decisively turned on the freshener and pressed the nozzle.
This freshener is specific, and the smell of the spray is extremely pungent, and there is not even a sound of spraying.
The big mouth focused on the air vent and almost sprayed the cleaning agent of the canister.
I couldn't stand it, I rolled my eyes a little bit, and I was so dizzy that I couldn't shoot for a while.
I was secretly anxious, in fact, the two of us were better, the wolf dog was stupid, circled around the truck, and suddenly came to the place where we were secretly.
It barked a few times, but the dog's sense of smell was very sensitive, and when it smelled the air freshener, it was even more irritated.
Its original barking caused the dog's owner to be sensitive. The owner of the dog followed vigilantly, but then the wolf dog not only stopped barking, but also retreated to the side of the dog owner, grinned, and went straight out.
Not only the owner of the dog, but also the two guards and the truck driver looked puzzled, and one of the guards asked, "Does your dog have a cold, look at its virtue, it is the same as when a person has a cold." ”
Another guard also said that he hadn't finished the medicine he bought for the last cold, and there were a few paracetamol tablets left, so should he feed the wolf dog?
The dog owner refused. He didn't have the heart to continue checking the car, so he went back with the dog.
The truck driver took the opportunity to talk a few more words, and we finally passed the test without danger.
The truck continued to drive into the mine. I observed along the road, and I felt that this place was similar to a labor prison, very closed, and everyone was wearing work clothes and working hard.
The truck drove up to a pile of iron ore that had been mined and piled together, with a yellow light bulb hanging on top of it for temporary lighting.
After the truck is parked and the driver gets down, he contacts the workers and loads the goods in the back compartment together.
Big Mouth and I knew that when we had the right opportunity, my brother and I slipped out of the shadows.
But this opportunity was not easy to wait, until an hour later, the rear compartment was already half loaded with ore, and the truck driver beckoned the workers to rest.
He also deliberately walked into a corner and took out a cigarette. The workers all gathered.
They chatted while smoking. Once in a while, the truck driver glanced this way. I understood that he was signaling to both of us that our opportunity had come.
The side door on my side, at a bad angle, is facing the group of workers who are gathering. I'll just wait for Big Mouth to make a move and hit the side door on his side.
I didn't think much about it, and I said what trouble could I have if I opened the door? But Big Mouth tried to pull the deadbolt, and after a few times, he turned red and whispered to me, "His grandmother's is evil, this door can't be opened." ”
My heart tightened, wondering if it was a bump along the way that caused the deadbolt of this door to jam. I said to Big Mouth, "You have a little patience, drive slowly, it will take a while for those people to smoke." ”
The big mouth answered, and he kept trying. But neither of us expected that suddenly the door opened, and with a big mouth, he rolled out along the door.
I heard a thud, and I guess my mouth fell to the ground.
I hurried out. During this period, the big mouth endured the pain and climbed out all the way down the bottom of the car, and finally stood against one wheel.
I did the same. And the big mouth fell so suddenly that it caused a worker to notice.
He said to the others, "Did you just hear that?" There's movement on the other side of the truck. ”
The others looked suspiciously, and Big Mouth and I were hiding behind the wheels, and they couldn't see them. But if they all come in droves, they'll be able to catch both of us.
I was secretly worried. The worker still moved, put down the cigarette butt, and was about to stand up.
