Chapter 355: Zhoubao (IV)

There is a window in the upper left room facing the yard. Cui Jian had previously climbed in and out through the window. The reason Cui Jian dared to do this was because the drone controlled by Baili Xiong reported the situation in the yard in real time. If someone wanted to sneak into the dark yard and attack them through the window, they would be discovered by Baili Xiong in advance.

However, Cui Jian and Duanmu both forgot one detail: when the drone was conducting reconnaissance before the operation, it discovered radio interference.

At this time, No. 29 had cracked the communication channel of Cui Jian, Duanmu and Baili Xiong. At 03's command, No. 29 immediately activated the signal jammer to block the communication signal. 03 shuttled through the dark yard and soon arrived behind a pine tree. He raised his gun and aimed at the window, waiting for the prey to appear at the muzzle of the gun.

Baili Xiong discovered the enemy and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan: "10 meters due east. 10 meters due east. 10 meters due east." Receiving no response, he kept shouting his discovery over and over again.

Cui Jian returned to the back door of the upper left room at this time. The upper left room is 10 meters long, and the distance between him and 03 is 20 meters. He can't see 03, but 03 can see him. But it was Cui Jian who fired first. Not being able to see does not mean that you can't shoot. Cui Jian held the gun in a triangle position, trying to fire as much as possible.

03 is not a coward. Especially in a situation where he is prepared, he will never sleep well if he doesn't fire a precise shot. Because the situation changed too quickly, neither side had completed the psychological adjustment. 03's two shots hit Cui Jian's chest and abdomen, but were blocked by the bulletproof vest. The impact was very strong, but Cui Jian just took two steps back and withstood it. Because of the bullet, two shots hit the ceiling, but after withstanding the impact, Cui Jian still did not dodge and continued to empty the magazine.

Cui Jian knew that 03 occupied the front and had cover. If they could not scare 03 away, they would not be able to move in the upper left room. This situation should not have happened. Baili Xiong should have informed Cui Jian and Duanmu as soon as he found someone outdoors.

03 wondered why Cui Jian would shoot directly outwards, and soon he found the problem. His dear teammate No. 29 immediately turned off the jammer after he got into position, selling him out. In this case, it would be strange if 03 didn't run.

The three ghosts all hope that the other ghosts will fight Cui Duan, but they don't want them to be able to kill Cui Duan.

While Cui Jian was emptying his magazine, Duanmu was not idle either. He threw out smoke bombs and covered his fire with his pistol. This method put a lot of psychological pressure on the ambushers. Smoke bombs meant that you couldn't see clearly, and the opponent was shooting blindly, which meant that the opponent might know your position.

No. 29 had just made a move for No. 03. When he heard the gunshot, he immediately checked the hidden surveillance and saw the situation in the living room clearly. He said, "Kill Hailan."

Before No. 30 could respond, a bullet hit near him, scaring him back into the bunker. Since No. 30 had almost shot Cui Jian in the head in a sneak attack before, Duanmu knew where No. 30 was hiding and consciously fired in that direction.

The smoke was getting thicker and thicker. Duanmu leaned out to continue covering the shooting after changing the magazine. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his chest and took a step back and fell to the ground. He did not hesitate, knowing that his fall would make a loud noise, so he rolled into the room. He had just rolled one meter when several bullets landed where he fell.

No. 30 didn't know whether he hit Duanmu, but he knew he had forced Duanmu back, and he raised his gun and fired five shots at Hailan's position. Because Cui Jian was firing bullets, No. 30 couldn't hear clearly whether his bullets hit Hailan, but he knew he couldn't stay there for long, so he put away his gun and left.

"Guard the back door." Duanmu said, stretched out his hand to grab Hailan's shoulder who crawled in front of him, and pulled her into the room. Like an idol drama, the two fell on each other. Duanmu was very unromantic, and pushed Hailan, whose hands and feet were still paralyzed, away to check his own bullet wound.

It's okay, the bullet didn't penetrate the bulletproof vest.

Duanmu pulled out a pistol and handed it to Hailan, saying, "The hostage has been rescued."

Baili Xiong ordered: "Attack."

Without Hailan, the special forces would definitely attack. The three ghosts all knew what was going on and began to evacuate. The three also complained to each other in the communication. 03 was supposed to guard the upper right room, but with the help of No. 29, he went outdoors to sneak attack Cui Jian and Duanmu, and was tricked by No. 29 again.

It was also because of their mutual tricks that Hai Lan got the opportunity to cut the rope.

Cui Jian, who was guarding the back door, heard the sound of running and chased after him without hesitation. The one running was No. 30. He did not go to the basement, but planned to hide directly in the woods. As a local, he was not very familiar with this mountain, but he knew there were many hiding places.

No. 30 heard Cui Jian's footsteps chasing him, and he couldn't tell if it was an accomplice or an enemy. No. 29 knew that he was a local, and seeing that he didn't go to the basement, he might follow him to escape.

No. 30 enters the southeast room, walks through the room, and climbs out the window. There is a drainage ditch here, one and a half meters high. Entering it can avoid the thermal scanning of the drone.

Cui Jian still did not go directly into the door, but ran to the other side of the door. When he passed the door, he saw No. 30 climbing over the window. Cui Jian stopped, turned around and entered the room, and quickly reached the window. He showed his head and then immediately retracted it. No. 30, who was lying in the drainage ditch, was tricked into firing a gun. He pulled the trigger, but the bullet certainly did not hit Cui Jian.

No. 30 did not dare to turn around, and slowly retreated in the direction of Cui Jian, while Cui Jian threw a stun grenade with his left hand. At a distance of 6 meters, the stun grenade was accurately thrown into the drainage ditch. After a muffled sound, Cui Jian leaned forward, holding the gun with both hands, and fired seven shots at No. 30 in the drainage ditch. Climbing over the window and walking above No. 30, Cui Jian fired three more shots at No. 30, who was already dead.

When faced with hard-to-kill targets, frugality is not a virtue.

Cui Jian was not too worried about the tail behind him. He had been running all the way here, and if the tail wanted to catch up with him, it would definitely make some footsteps.

A dozen mercenaries were divided into four groups, riding electric bikes to Zhoubao and began to search for their target. Cui Jian and Duanmu locked the approximate area of ​​the basement entrance, and it didn't take long for the mercenaries to find the entrance. With stun bombs, the mercenaries stormed into the basement.

A few minutes later, the mercenary captain called Duanmu: "Boss, the door is sealed."

There is a stream near Zhoubao, and there is a deep pool in the stream. No. 29 entered the deep pool from the side wall with a portable oxygen bottle in his mouth, and floated to the surface quietly. No. 29 looked in the direction of Zhoubao, and a hundred meters away, there was a figure swaying in Zhoubao.

No. 29 observed a second of silence for his companion, turned around and prepared to go ashore, but what he saw was the muzzle of an assault rifle.

……

No. 29 was searched and stripped down to his underwear, and was carried to the living room by the mercenaries. The first aid soldiers among the mercenaries were applying medicine to Hailan, and circles of gauze were wrapped around her head.

No. 29 was thrown to the ground, next to him was the body of No. 30. No. 29 looked around, and saw armed mercenaries standing in several places in the living room. Duanmu was using his cell phone to contact the outside world, and Cui Jian was leaning against the wall, with a cigar in his left hand and a gun in his right hand. It seemed that everything had nothing to do with him, and it seemed that he was still ready to kill someone.

Baili Xiong walked up to No. 29 and looked down at him: "Where is the other person?"

No. 29 smiled but didn’t answer. The expression on his face showed two words: fight.

A mercenary walked up to Baili Xiong and reported: "Nothing was found within a radius of 200 meters."

Duanmu put away his phone, walked over, stood two meters away from No. 29, and asked, "Who are you?"

There was no answer on the 29st.

Duanmu took the tablet handed over by the mercenary and said, "The information says that you are civilian staff of the CIA Asia Branch. Ghosts?" Duanmu asked casually.

No. 29 still didn't answer, so Baili Xiong pulled out his dagger and cut off one of his ears. No. 29 didn't resist or dodge, but instead looked at the ear that fell to the ground, with an unpleasant smile on his face.

Duanmu wanted to know why this group of people wanted to attack the Special Service Team 1? Why did they invite him and Cui Jian to Zhoubao to play games? What was their purpose? Who was the boss?

One possibility is that they are CIA, and the other possibility is that they are ghosts, but neither of these two identities would play the game this way. From the battle tonight, it can be seen that the three of them cooperated with each other, but they were not united, and even harmed each other.

The passage in the basement has two exits, one is a pond, and the other is 500 meters away. There is a big tree that looks dead, with only a straight three-meter-high trunk left. The big tree is on the edge of the cliff. There is a big hole near the root of the tree. If you stick your head into the big hole, you will find that the whole tree is hollow. If you reach out and touch it, you will know that it is not a tree, but a model made of cement and steel bars. This kind of thing is very common in modern times. It looks like a wooden chair, but it is actually a chair poured with cement. It looks like a wooden guardrail, but it is actually made of cement and steel bars.

This tree was one of the three burrows of the traitor Han. Once Zhoubao was surrounded, they could enter the tunnel through the basement, go all the way to the edge of the cliff, and then drill out from the bottom of the tree. Finally, with the help of the rope hidden in the tree, they could reach the dense forest below.

Now, the tree not only contains a rope for escape, but also a sniper rifle. The tree hole has the advantage of being 10 meters higher than Zhoubao and facing the living room.

Smiling No. 29 couldn't understand why the mercenaries knew the location of the exit of the pool and caught him red-handed?

No. 29 and No. 3 cooperated with each other many times in the battle tonight, and No. 30 was not stupid. He knew that they had formed an alliance. And he knew that even if the three of them killed Cui Duan, he would be the third one to die. So No. 30 hid a strong signal transmitter on No. 29, which was also the reason why No. 30 did not go underground. He hoped to get rid of 03 and 29 with the help of mercenaries, so that he could enjoy the bet alone.

The drone captured a strong signal and chased it all the way above the soil. It would be a miracle if No. 29 could escape.

03 in the tree hole first lowered the rope to the cliff, set up the sniper rifle in an orderly manner, and looked at the living room through the scope. Cui Jian was in the scope, and 03 only stayed on him for a moment before continuing to look for Duanmu. A confidante is important, but completing the mission is more important. He only has one chance to shoot.

Due to the angle, he could only see half of Duanmu, with Duanmu's hands and a small part of his left forehead within the range of his target. Duanmu was talking to No. 29. In addition to Duanmu and some of the mercenaries, Baili Xiong and Hai Lan in the living room were all within the scope.

"Take a step forward." 03 muttered to himself. What he thought was: Don't worry, you must go out of the main door. But if Duanmu went to the basement, he would not go through the main door, but would go out of Zhoubao through the side door.

Should we settle for the next best thing and kill Cui Jian? The scope turned to Cui Jian. Cui Jian, who was originally smoking a cigar, suddenly felt like he was being spied on. He turned his head to look at the 03 position, but it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.

He couldn't shoot. Although the bullet was very fast, 03 knew that Cui Jian would react even faster. Once he saw the gunfire, Cui Jian would subconsciously dodge. In this way, even if he could hit Cui Jian, he might not be killed.

03 decisively moved the sight away and picked up the telescope to observe, but saw Cui Jian retract his gaze and continued to lean against the wall to watch the on-site interrogation.

03 Cursing in my heart: I didn’t expect Cui Jian to be a talented person.

This gifted person is not a metaphysical gifted person, but a person who has a combination of innate advantages and acquired training, and has particularly outstanding abilities. There are billions of people in the world, and several generations have passed. Not to mention Einstein, scientists who can approach that level are rare. The reason is that the gifted people are not engaged in related industries, or they do not have an enterprising heart. Talent, interest and industry, the combination of these three can create a gifted person.

In short, Cui Jian is a natural killer with a keen sense of danger. From one detail, after the mercenaries had taken control of the area, Cui Jian still held a pistol in his right hand, indicating that he subconsciously believed that the scene was not safe. This psychological reaction was completely different from that of the other people in the living room.

No. 29 said: "You can either kill me or bribe me."

Baili Xiong kicked No. 29 down, but No. 29 didn't get angry and sat down on the cold ground again. He was shivering in his underwear, but he still kept smiling.

I always feel helpless when facing this kind of people. Duanmu asked, "What are the conditions?"

No. 29: "A new identity for a small South American country, one million dollars. Believe me, my offer is very reasonable."

Duanmu said: "My condition is: you can choose to speak now, or speak after being tortured." If no one in Team 1 died, he could indeed pay the money. But in the case of two people in Special Service Team 1 being killed, there was no possibility of negotiation between him and Ghost.

No. 29 thought for a while and said, "I can tell you a secret. Please consider whether to agree to my offer."

Duanmu: "What secret?"

No. 29 looked around and said, "Ask them to move aside, or you come over."

Duanmu looked at Baili Xiong, who nodded. He not only searched No. 29, but also scanned his body with a metal detector. Besides, No. 29 was stripped down to his underwear, and his hands were tied behind his back with cable ties and handcuffs, so it was impossible for him to attack Duanmu.

So Duanmu took two steps towards No. 29, squatted in front of No. 29, and the others took a few steps back.

No. 29 stretched his neck and prepared to speak, Duanmu also moved closer, and No. 03 pulled the trigger.

Hai Lan, who was facing the gate, saw a flash of gunfire in the darkness, which was the flame when the bullet left the barrel. At a distance of 400 meters, the bullet flew for less than half a second. Such behavior as rushing over and pushing Duanmu away in movies and TV dramas was completely illogical and impossible to happen.

Even Cui Jian, when he saw the gunfire, instinctively dodged, and did not have time to think about who the bullet was aimed at. Of course, even if Cui Jian knew that the bullet was aimed at Duanmu, he would not rush forward to block the bullet.

There was only one possibility for Duanmu to survive: 03 missed the target.

However, tree hole sniping is the ultimate killer, and 03 is a professional veteran killer. Is it possible for him to make such a low-level mistake?
Time seemed to stop at this moment.

The bullet flew into the living room, penetrated the right arm, crossed the chest, and the bullet with a severely deformed bullet head finally penetrated the left arm.

Everyone was in a trance for a moment, and then Baili Xiong stepped forward, grabbed Duanmu by the back of the collar and dragged him backwards. The mercenaries immediately fired at the possible location of the gunman.

Duanmu stood up, looked at No. 29 and asked, "Why?"

No one answered him.

Duanmu did not die, but No. 29 died. He used his body to knock down the squatting Duanmu, and was shot through the chest.

03 grabbed the rope and slid towards the woods below, cursing in his heart. Perhaps he was the only one who knew why No. 29 did something that harmed others and himself.

No. 29 and 03 escaped into the basement, opened the door to the passage, and No. 29 locked the door. The two ran one after the other, and 03 reached the fork in the road first. He chose the tree hole road and locked the iron door. No. 29 had no choice but to choose another road. Otherwise, there was a rope leading directly to the woods, so why would he go to the deep pool to play in the water? Otherwise, how could he leave the opportunity to kill Duanmu to 03?
In addition, No. 29 knew that if he fell into the hands of Duanmu and his men, he would be tortured and then killed. Instead of doing that, it would be better to let No. 03 give him a quick death.

Cui Jian put away his pistol and said, "I'm leaving. The gun and equipment will be handed over to the people at the intersection."

Baili Xiong called a mercenary and said, "You ride your bike to escort the distinguished guest away."

The mercenary nodded and gestured: "Please."

"Thank you."
