After 12 hours, the convoy reached the outskirts of Lao Cai at full speed.

At this time, the situation in Lao Cai has been completely stabilized, martial law has been lifted, and all kinds of freight vehicles are running on the main road, and if it is not for the dense sentinels and patrols in police uniforms showing a "great change" that has just ended in this land, it is a complete scene of prosperity from the appearance.

The marauders and warriors were quite striking on the road, and unsurprisingly, the group was stopped by gun-wielding sentinels.

This time, though, they don't need to wear masks anymore.

Chen Shen directly took out the passes issued by the Wa State and the Seventh Brigade from his pocket and handed them to the sentry.

In 2010, neither of these two Mindi forces nor Kokang had yet to develop into outright hostile relations, so the convoy was not allowed to leave without being overly embarrassed for a legitimate reason.

"Now you don't see guns on the streets of the city, you turn around and park outside."

"If you want to enter the old street, you have to register even if you want to bring a gun. Mercenary's words"

As he spoke, the sentry rubbed his hands together.

And Chen Shen took out a wad of dollars from his pocket with understanding.

He counted out ten and handed them to the sentry, and asked:

"Enough for a pistol?"

"Enough is enough. Do you want to bring a spear? ”

"Spears are okay too?"

Chen Shen asked in surprise.

It stands to reason that at this time, Bai Suo's control over the courage is still quite strict, even if you have a pistol in a concealed area, the spear is so eye-catching, there will be no problem if you bring it in?

"You don't care about this, as long as our brothers have a good relationship, many things can be handled."

Chen Shen did not hesitate to slap the money into his hand, a thick pile, a full 10,000 US dollars.

——

Don't say anything about whether it's worth it or not, anyway, it's not going to be back in your hands in the end?

The sentry's mouth was grinning, he put the money in his pocket, and then waved his hand, and immediately the sentry who had been waiting on the side for a long time brought five identity cards.

Chen Shen took a look, damn, the Wei family!

He immediately understood what was going on.

After 8.8, although Bai Suocheng became a big brother on the surface, the situation of the resolute struggle was not completely stable, and Wei Chaoren, who had a heavy army and even a professional artillery battalion, was ready to move.

It was inconvenient for him to continue to stir up trouble and seize power, so he started in a hidden place and began to try to control the bold trade routes.

And since it is necessary to hold the trade route, in this part of northern Burma, armed escort is indispensable, and now the sentry has brought a special pass for the caravan bodyguards.

As for why it fell out so easily.

That's the problem of management.

The caravan is gone, and the bodyguard's pass must be recovered, right? There are so many openings, it is impossible to verify each one of them one by one.

This also gave the front-line executives the opportunity to deduct the extreme debris from the fingers of the big boss to eat.

Corruption is deep in the marrow – no, it should be said that corruption is the rule here.

Such people, expecting them to bring a bright future to Kokang?

But don't talk about it.

Chen Shen took the pass and distributed it to everyone in the team, and then he continued to ask:

"Can the car drive in?"

"Then there really can't be helped."

The sentry said frankly.

"Understood, then we'll stop outside."

Following the sentinel's guidance, the group found what he called the "parking lot", not to mention, it was quite regular, in addition to their marauders and warriors, there were also other caravan escort vehicles parked here to rest.

After all, it's an important port.

Chen Shen didn't think much about it, and asked Li to help Shi Dakai and the white dog guard in place, and he took Bao Qi into the old street.

This can be said to be the most north-like place in the entire northern Myanmar region, in Chen Shen's vague memory, he didn't know how many times he traveled through this small city when he was young, and even ran to Yanglongzhai and secretly crossed the border to play with the southern umbrella.

——

Of course, when he was young, the border town of Nanumbrella was actually not much different from the old street

It can even be said that it is slightly behind.

Chen Shen still remembers that it was very face-saving to live in the old street at that time, because it meant that the family was really a rich man.

But in recent years, it has been different, with the ultra-high-speed development of the north, the south umbrella has also quickly opened the gap with the old street, and after 2020, the gap between the south umbrella and the old street Yanglongzhai is really like the gap between the city and the countryside

There is no way, the potential brought by the heritage is so bad.

Walking into the city of Lao Cai, you will be greeted by a number of casinos – or hotels.

Looking at the tourists shuttling at the door of the casino, Bao Qi opened his mouth and said:

"Why are there so many people. I thought that after Bai Suocheng came to power, he would also suppress the casino."

"How is that possible? What these people want to make is quick money, and replacing drugs with gambling is the only way out, is it possible that you really expect them to engage in agriculture, industry and mining? How young does that thing have to be to pay off? ”

"It's too. But it's also too dark. ”

Bao Qi sighed, his eyes flickering with change.

Black?

Chen Shen shook his head.

The darker ones haven't come yet.

At present, the base camp of wire fraud is still in Cambodia, and it has not yet begun to move to northern Myanmar.

When 12 or 13 years come, that's the beginning of the real darkness.

"Let's go, leave it alone, go to your house first!"

"Okay."

Bao Qi immediately followed Chen Shen, his legs were not very convenient, but there was basically no problem with his movements, and he could run in an emergency.

The two walked forward quickly, bypassing the pedestrian street in the center of Lao Cai, and after passing Anfu Park, they came to the small courtyard of a farmhouse located on the north side of Lao Cai County and on the edge of the county seat.

At this time, Bao Qi's family in this small courtyard had long since left - but the excitement had not diminished at all.

Because someone has already occupied this small courtyard.

It's just like the small courtyard of the Dongfeng Corps in Mengkazhan.

But fortunately, the house is okay and has not been blown up by an IED

"It's not someone you know, so there's no need to go in."

Bao Qi opened his mouth and said:

"Even if my parents left any clues, they would definitely be gone now. Commander, withdraw and don't be recognized by the people around you. ”

"Okay, let's go."

The two turned away without hesitation, without the slightest superfluous movement.

In fact, the reason why they wanted to come over was originally to try to make up for the missing part of Lin He's intelligence, but now that they don't have a chance, they don't need to force it.

——

As for the plot of retrieving important tokens in the old mansion?

Bao Qi left too many things at home, and they were too precious.

But there is no one that will be more expensive than his life.

So, he didn't have the slightest nostalgia.

The two walked out of the old street again, joined the left-behind personnel and continued to advance towards the arch.

The closer he got to Gongtang Village, the more nervous Li Bang's expression became, Chen Shen glanced at him comfortingly, and said:

"Don't worry too much, according to Lin He's intelligence, at least your mother and your sister are still safe."

"I'm worried that something else will happen"

Li Bang's voice became deeper and deeper, his hand clenched the AA-12 tightly, the bullet was loaded, and the safety was left unopened.

Chen Shen's brows furrowed slightly, and he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

He glanced at Shi Dakai, who shook his head slightly.

Some things, if you don't bump into them on the spot, don't happen anymore.

After more than an hour, the convoy arrived at Gongtang Village along the mountain path, and after contacting Lin He by radio, the latter rushed to the entrance of the village to meet him.

It was impossible to enter the village with great fanfare, Chen Shen found a place to park the car, and then the three of them remained behind, and he took Li Bang and Lin He to the village.

Arch Hall is a typical town in northern Myanmar, although it is called Arch Hall, but it is actually divided into two parts: "town" and "village", in the valley is a very small mining town, and on the hillside, there is a real village engaged in agricultural activities that depend on this town for survival.

Li Bang's home is next to the terraced rice fields on the hillside on the west side of the arch hall, according to him, there are only three simple yellow mud houses, and the surrounding environment is not complicated, and it will not be too risky to follow the route explored by Lin He in advance.

The three of them walked all the way through the forest, and in less than 20 minutes, they had already seen the house.

"How's that going to happen? What is the situation of people coming and going, how are they socializing? ”

Lurking in the grass, Chen Shen asked Lin He.

"Compare. It's more complicated. ”

Chen Shen frowned and continued to ask:

"How complicated?"

Lin He didn't answer immediately, but in fact, he didn't have to answer either.

Because, at this moment, a man came over from a distance and walked towards the "home" of the Li Gang.

He walked frivolously and stumbled, as if he had drunk too much wine, and he was still shouting something in his mouth, but from the distance between the three of them now, he couldn't hear the specific content at all.

Chen Shen glanced at the Li Gang beside him, and said decisively:

"Let's go, keep up!"

The three of them moved forward silently, following the man.

The man had already walked to the door of the earthen house and was knocking hard.

The door to the tsuchiya opened, and two women who seemed to be different in height stepped out.

Later, one of them returned to the room, brought out a plastic bucket, and seemed to want to go out.

But at that moment, the man grabbed her by the neck, ignored her struggles, and dragged her towards the door.

Li Bang's eyes were split, and his footsteps immediately changed from fast walking to running, and the CS/LS 2 behind Chen Shen was handed over to Lin He, and then ordered:

"Perimeter alert, if someone comes, persuade you to retreat, and if you don't listen to the persuasion, you will be killed directly!"

"Understood!"

Lin He replied immediately.

Then, Chen Shen sprinted to catch up with the Li Gang and quickly ran in the direction of the earth house.

At a distance of less than a hundred meters, it took them only a dozen seconds.

And when Li Bang kicked the door open, what appeared in front of them was a cliché but completely reasonable scene.

The middle-aged woman was on her knees crying while the girl was pressed to the bed.

The clothes on the upper half of her body had been torn, and the man was riding on top of her, and the pistol at his waist clearly indicated his identity.

Chen Shen rushed forward with agility, and at the moment when the man was alarmed by the huge movement and wanted to touch the gun on his waist, a side kick hit his chest, and the crackling sound of the bones breaking was tooth-aching, but Chen Shen's movements did not stop.

He grabbed the man's right hand and yanked him, throwing him straight off the bed.

Then, by inertia, he stepped forward and folded the man's right hand backwards, and the entire arm was instantly dislocated.

Immediately after that, the left hand is exactly the same process.

The man who had been hit hard in the chest couldn't make a sound at all, blood was flowing from the corners of his mouth, and he was shaking stiffly on the ground.

At this time, the two women who were scared stupid did not react at all.

It wasn't until Li Gang ripped the sheet over his sister to cover her bare skin, and then pulled off her own mask, that her sister, who saw his face, finally widened her eyes.

She wanted to say something, but nothing came out of her hoarse throat.

Li Bang's mother was also stunned, seeing that she was about to shout, Chen Shen immediately stepped forward and covered her mouth.

"Don't make a sound! I'm a friend of the Li Gang! ”

The woman struggled a few times before she finally reacted, and after she nodded, Chen Shen finally let go of her hand.

"Son."

A faint wail erupted from her throat, containing a misery that could not be expressed in words.

Instead of delaying the reunion of the Li Gang with his family, Chen Shen bent down, dragged the man aside, and then dropped his pistol.

The latter's chest had sunken down, and his heart was compressed, so much so that he fainted completely.

However, under Chen Shen's wonderful means of rejuvenation, he finally woke up.

"Who are you?"

At this time, Chen Shen's appearance was extremely terrifying, with heavy body armor, 4-eye night vision devices, goggles, and a pure black mask.

Although the man is a soldier, he has never seen such complete equipment in his life.

Even the Burmese side of the big man who led all these events in Kokang, Aung Dinh Ling, and the guards around him are definitely not like this

The breath of killing and death was extremely strong, and the man's body trembled again, and this time, it was not just because of the pain.

It's fear.

Chen Shen looked into his eyes and said:

"How did the other two people in this family die?"

"It's not me! Not me! ”

"I didn't do anything!"

The man screamed in panic, but his voice was comical because of the severe wound in his chest.

"I'm just I'm just taking advantage of it. Everybody's the same, everybody's the same! I'm not the only one! ”

"I drank too much, I didn't want to touch the little one, I really didn't think about it"

Before the man's words were finished, Chen Shen's FN57 was on his head.

"Shut up."

"What I ask, you answer."

"Which troop are you?"

"I am the Kokang Border Battalion of the Border Battalion."

The border battalion, Bai Suocheng's personal soldiers who had just been reorganized.

Like the police force, it is a team that has been reorganized by the Allied forces and has defected to Lao Burma.

Chen Shen's eyes remained unchanged and continued to ask:

"These two women, who moved?"

"I didn't move the little one! I didn't move! I do not know! ”

The man shook his head violently, and there were some questions that Chen Shen didn't ask, and the answers were actually obvious.

Yes, two women, why did they survive?

In Kokang, in the war zone, under the premise of being regarded as a family member of a deserter.

Li Bang had already raised his gun, Chen Shen glanced at him and continued to ask:

"Who else will come?"

"I don't know, I really don't know much, much."

Li Bang opened the insurance, and Chen Shen grabbed the muzzle of his gun.

Subsequently, Chen Shen said:

"With a knife."
