Chapter 21: A Dusty Past
Yang Lao didn't answer directly, he slowly took out a beautifully made bank magnetic stripe card with the zodiac on it from his body.
In the nineties, bank cards were still a new thing, and not many people knew about it in detail, and many people had only heard of it and not seen it in real terms.
Because it has just been issued, the bank has extremely strict review standards, and people who can hold a bank card with a string of card numbers on it are rare, and few exist like the morning star, either rich or expensive.
It makes the dream of a "no-check, cashless society" a reality.
Although Yang Lao found out that it was a bank original magnetic stripe card that had long been outdated by current standards, it was enough to surprise Zhou Yunzhen at that time.
"Young man, I want to ask your name, can you say?"
In the face of Yang Lao's questioning, Zhou Yunzhen did not hesitate to say his name, to be honest, the name is a symbol, its purpose is to make people remember, there is nothing that cannot be said.
Yang Lao thought about it, the past incident thirty years ago was thrilling and vivid, as if it happened yesterday ......, and he felt that this confirmed his judgment even more.
Yang Lao's name is Yang Qide, and 30 years ago, he was the director of the former Hengling District Public Security Department, and the area had not yet changed to a city at that time.
It was a winter, one day, the Provincial Public Security Department held an emergency meeting, after the meeting, Yang Qide refused the leadership of the department to let him stay for one night, gave up rest, and decided to rush back to the Hengling area non-stop to convey the deployment of related work.
He drove away with Luo Xiaoshan, the driver and deputy chief of the security section.
The jeep drove all the way to an inaccessible mountain forest in the evening.
There is a dirt road that winds forward in the mountain forest, and it is rarely passed by vehicles in normal times.
In order to be in a hurry, Yang Qide temporarily decided to pass from now on, and he could take a shortcut and go straight to the crooked road, which could save a lot of time.
Due to the rain and snow on the ground, the mountain roads were muddy and potholes, and the jeep was panting for breath in the mud.
In fact, the jeep skidped, fell into a large pothole, roared in vain, and could not climb out.
This time, the three of them were in a hurry, it was getting late, and this area was a forest area, where wild beasts infested and impermanent, hurting and even devouring people.
At night, the ghosts and wolves howl here, mixed with the mad laughter of night owls, which is creepy.
It's dangerous to be stuck here.
The driver was even more hurried and sweaty, and he did everything he could to drive the car out of the mud.
He stamped his foot vigorously and refueled, and the engine honked empty, making a "woo" bellows sound.
Then the jeep made a "pop" sound, and the jeep engine could no longer spin.
The driver, sweating profusely, jumped out of his seat, hurriedly opened the hood, and looked,
The crankshaft is broken.
Yang Qide and the driver, Luo Xiaoshan, the deputy chief of the security department, were all dumbfounded, there is no village in front of here, there is no store in the back, and it is deserted, but how can you do it?
Where can I buy parts?
How can I troubleshoot without parts replacement? How does this car start?
The driver took out the maintenance tools from the toolbox, but no matter how much he drummed up, it was useless, and it was difficult for the daughter-in-law to cook without rice.
Without replacement parts, even if it was just missing a small, inconspicuous spark plug, the jeep would not start, it was tantamount to a pile of broken copper.
The scene fell into a terrible silence.
The mountain climate has a large temperature difference between day and night, especially in winter, and the forest area is fine during the day, not very cold.
But at night, it was cold, and the wind was bitter, like a knife piercing the bones.
Not to mention the attack of wild beasts, there is no heat in the jeep, and even freezing can freeze people into popsicles.
The three of them were helpless for a while and fell into a desperate situation.
At that time, not to mention that Luo Xiaoshan, the driver and deputy chief of the security section, did not have communication tools, even Yang Qide, who was in a prominent position and was in charge of the public security in a region, did not hold a phone. Mobile phones are everywhere, and everyone has them, and it is a matter of the 21st century later.
If you don't have a handheld phone, you can't call for help from the outside world, send a driver or Luo Xiaoshan, deputy chief of the security department, to go out of the mountain to call the police, not to mention that there are sixty miles of mountain roads to walk, walking at night, you may face the attack of wild beasts at any time, it is also very dangerous, nine deaths.
Suddenly, Yang Qide found that on the hill in the distance, there were dozens of faint "green lights" shining directly through.
"Not good!"
He exclaimed, he understood that it was none other than a vicious pack of wolves.
He had read the internal briefing, and there were occasional wild wolves passing by, and when they encountered other wild beasts, they would also fight with each other, devour blood and tear wildly, and all other small animals died instantly.
In winter, there is little activity for large and small animals, and there is a shortage of food for wild wolves, which is the craziest time for them to forage for food.
Unexpectedly, his group encountered the worst.
The most dangerous time has come.
The faint "green light" came from far and near, and was accompanied by a terrible howl, which was particularly terrifying in the empty mountain forest, and a group of hungry wolves came to .......
"Prepare your guns, get ready to fight to the death!"
Yang Qide ordered.
But the three of them actually only had two pistols, the driver didn't, only himself and Luo Xiaoshan, the deputy chief of the security section, had guns.
Yang Qide and Luo Xiaoshan, deputy chief of the security section, quickly drew out small and large mirrored box guns, although they were old antiques from the war years, they were very powerful and amazingly lethal.
This large mirrored box gun has many bullets and a long barrel, which is suitable for field combat.
However, the large mirror box gun that can be loaded with 20 rounds was worn by Luo Xiaoshan, deputy chief of the security section.
Although Yang Qide's is also called a box gun, the body of the gun is much smaller, and it can only be loaded with a mere six bullets.
That is, the two of them were going to kill or at least crush the wolves with these twenty-six bullets.
But is Luo Xiaoshan, the deputy chief of the security section, fully loaded with his gun?
"Luo Xiaoshan, how many bullets are in your big mirror box gun?"
Luo Xiaoshan, deputy chief of the security section, replied with a sad face: "Director, I have less than ten rounds in my gun." ”
"Huh?"
Yang Qide's surprise was not trivial, "Why didn't you fill it with bullets when you set off?" ”
"Loaded with bullets, the gun is heavy. Besides, it's peacetime, it's safe, and the armourers don't give me so many bullets. ”
Yang Qide In the upcoming man-wolf battle, he felt that he was sure of winning with his sharp firearms, and he wanted to make the wolves bleed like rivers and corpses all over the field.
But the current situation is terrible, in the face of this fierce and ferocious group of wolves, how much effect can these more than ten bullets play?
Judging from the gloomy "green light", there are at least thirty wolves in this pack.
It's just a bullet to eliminate a wolf, can it be wiped out?
What's more, in this case, who can be calm in the face of life and death, as soon as the hand trembles, the bullet may be missed.
And in the dark night, the accuracy of shooting a fast wolf will drop a lot, and the ferocious wolf on the opposite side can be killed with one shot?
Sometimes two or three shots don't necessarily lead to death.
Yang Qide was on the verge of despair, he prepared for the worst, and it was difficult to survive in death.
But if you don't fight, it's a dead end.
More than a dozen hungry wolves stepped on the remnants of the snow, flashing a terrifying "green light", scrambling to howl and pounce.
