The enemy continued to walk toward him with the knife in his hand. As he got closer, he saw the leader's face. Xu Tong used the last remaining strength to stand up suddenly, turned his right hand, turned the dagger upside down, held the blade with his five fingers, and held it behind his right arm.
Swinging, he violently threw the dagger in his hand. After two rounds of rotation, the dagger's head rushed forward under the action of gravity and flew towards Wei Mingchen's throat. Wei Mingchen used the ladder knife in his hand to flick it away and deflected the flying knife in front of him.
The flying knife just now was weak and powerless, and Wei Mingchen had a proud smile on his lips, but when he thought of the price he had paid, his face suddenly darkened again.
Wei Mingchen calmly tightened the string of the hand crossbow, raised his right hand, and aimed at Xu Tong. He would never take risks, and he would not get close to Xu Tong. The dying beast may be more dangerous. He would weaken the opponent with the hand crossbow before attacking.
Last hit.
"Bang", the dull sound of gunshots broke the silence of the mountain forest, and a group of returning birds suddenly flew up in fright, circling and singing in the gray sky.
Amid the gunfire, Wei Mingchen threw his head back. His hand crossbow did not fire. There was a small bullet hole between his eyebrows. A bright red flower mixed with brains bloomed from the back of his head. His body swayed and his throat let out a burst of noise.
A gurgling sound was his last words to the world. He leaned to the side and slowly fell down. The last image left on his retina was a slender figure wearing a canvas hunting suit and holding a gun in one hand.
Yang Cao gently blew away the smoke from the gun and walked forward from behind Xu Tong. The remaining four people stared at everything in front of them with their mouths open, not knowing whether to retreat or enter. One of them suddenly woke up and shouted:
"It's a woman, kill her!" At this moment, a black figure jumped out from the side and cut behind him. The man grabbed the knifeman's hair bun with his left hand and pushed his head and cervical vertebra to the left and back, and with his right hand
The prismatic short cone was inserted straight into the brainstem from the right side, under the mandible, and with a twist, it was pulled out with a sharp "whoosh" sound. The man simply flicked the short cone in the air, leaving a string of crystal blood beads.
.
More than a dozen black shadows flashed continuously, and the remaining three swordsmen were thrown to the ground almost simultaneously. The resistance was over before it even started, leaving only a few cold corpses.
Yang Cao opened his backpack, took out a water bag, handed it to Xu Tong, and whispered: "Glucose." Xu Tong took it with his right hand and sipped it.
A member of the action team opened the first aid kit, treated Xu Tong's wounds, and said, "It's okay, he won't die." Another member came over, asked about Li Baiqing's whereabouts, and reported to Yang Cao.
Yang Cao shouted: "Xiao Wu."
An overly thin young man with a young appearance walked over quickly, with an indescribable evil look on his face. He wiped off the blood on the short prismatic cone with a cloth, took back the scabbard at his waist, and said in a voice
: "Director Yang."
Yang Cao said: "Take care of him. I'll contact the second team to see what's going on over there. I'll ask if a few horse stakes have been knocked down, and then ask them to take care of Li Baiqing - he may need first aid. Once he's stabilized, hurry up."
Send him to the hospital!" After saying that, he walked down.
Xiao Wu knelt down next to Xu Tong, smiled at Xu Tong and said, "Don't drink that stuff, it's boring. One drink will give you strength."
After saying that, he took out the pack of cigarettes, took out one and lit it, took a deep breath, and then handed the remaining half to Xu Tong.
Xu Tong took a sip and coughed twice. He realized that the cigarette was mixed with something, and immediately handed it back: "I don't smoke this thing of yours, you'd better smoke less. Just dry up and fish!"
Xiao Wu laughed twice and said, "Take a few more puffs. At least take it easy."
Seeing that he ignored her, Xiao Wu said: "Yang Chu has organized two tracking groups, two support groups, and a logistics group to provide you with support. You all know this. This time, five walkie-talkies were urgently borrowed from the special reconnaissance team.
For communication purposes, we also used a few newly delivered flashlights. As you know, these original Australian treasures have become less and less in recent years. For this matter, Yang Chu went to Director Wu's place to pat down the table. It is difficult to track in the wild.
, the river tidal flats here are full of twists and turns, and we can’t figure out the way at all. We can only stay on the periphery. When we came back, you took Lao Litou into the reed stall before the support team was in place. You ran too fast, this
It’s impossible to determine your position in this damn place, and the support team is far away, and there is always a small distance. It wasn’t until you pulled that flare that we knew you were so close to us, why didn’t you use that thing earlier?”
Xu Tong said: "Whoever is exposed first will be unlucky."
Xiao Wu grinned and said, "Yes."
Xiao Wu stood up, patted the dust on his body, helped Xu Tong's shoulders, and said: "Yang Chu is good to you. I will send you back right now."
"No hurry," Xu Tong asked, "Where is this place?"
"This is Caohe River in Panyu County."
"Grass River?!"
Xu Tong realized that there was a huge flaw in his "secret way-memorizing technique". He originally thought it was very close to Guangzhou, but he didn't expect it to be so far away!
Thinking about it again, the other party blindfolded himself and placed himself in the canopy of the boat. He actually completely lost the concept of time and space.
"This place is hard to find."
"It's very hard to find." Xiao Wu said with a smile, "Without a brother from the Dan family as a guide, we are still going in circles here!"
Seeing his disappointed expression, Xiao Wu comforted him, "Don't worry too much. Since you know this is their lair, go back and ask the air reconnaissance team of the special reconnaissance team to come out and search. No matter how deep they are hidden, they will still find it."
"
"No need, even if they were found, the building would have been empty a long time ago. They are not that stupid." Xu Tong felt extremely tired again, "Help me find a stretcher, I'm about to fall asleep."
When he woke up, Xu Tong had already returned to the bureau in Guangzhou City. Not only had his wounds been re-bandaged, but his clothes had also been changed. How sleepy he was.
He took out the watch on the pillow. It was already five o'clock in the morning. He had slept for a long time. At this moment, his brain was as clear as water. He remembered almost every minute of everything that happened yesterday. Xu Tong knew this.
This kind of memory is temporary. He has to hurry up and write the report quickly. Especially everything he saw at the alliance site.
After a brief wash, he rang the bell and called the guard on duty outside the door:
"Bring me a breakfast and a cup of strong tea. Send them to the office."
Then he came to the office, opened the curtains, and began to write his action report in the morning light.
Recalling the whole process, he felt that he had made no mistakes. Why did Xue Tu suddenly become murderous? He could feel that Xue Tu had no murderous intentions towards him after the fight, but he was immediately chased after the meeting ended -
Moreover, this kind of pursuit was prepared in advance.
Could it be that they had known that he was an undercover agent for a long time? Xu Tong's thoughts were a little confused. He did not delve deeper. He remembered that the old Taoist priest who had been standing next to Xue Tu was probably the "Mushi Taoist" who had been mentioned many times in the intelligence.
". This Taoist Mu Shi is very mysterious. I have known about such a person since the beginning of the witchcraft case, but I have never been able to get close to him.
However, judging from what they have done this time, these underground forces in the Ming Dynasty are gathering together like never before, and I am afraid that it won't be long before they launch a violent counterattack.
The counterattack will inevitably fail, Xu Tong is convinced of this. But the war caused by the counterattack will destroy the lives of countless innocent people.
Two nights later, Yang Cao sat quietly at a table in front of a porridge stall outside the Political and Security Bureau in Guangzhou. This is where many Political and Security Bureau employees on night shifts eat late-night snacks. The table has a glass cover.
The dim flame of the oil lamp danced restlessly, illuminating the area a few feet in front of him. A figure came to Yang Cao's side, and Xu Tong's voice sounded from behind: "Working overtime again?"
Yang Cao said "hmm" and said, "How many more days off do you have?"
Xu Tong said: "No need, I have to report to Director Wu tomorrow and I will sort out the report."
Yang Cao was silent for a moment and said: "At that time, you didn't know when support would arrive. You should get rid of Li Baiqing and escape on your own."
Xu Tong said: "A life that is loyal to the Senate should not be deprived of life like this. We can't just look at the results and ignore the means."
Yang Cao said: "We only need reason, not emotion."
Xu Tong said: "Maybe this is the human nature that the elders often talk about."
Yang Cao said: "Your choice may bring disaster. If you and Li Baiqing fall into the hands of the enemy, the consequences will be disastrous."
Xu Tong said: "I will not be captured alive."
Yang Cao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I don't believe in human nature, including myself, because human nature cannot stand the test. I will write this paragraph into the report."
Xu Tong stopped answering and turned around to leave. After taking two steps, he stopped, hesitated, and said, "Thank you this time." After saying that, he didn't look back and strode away.
Yang Cao gently stirred the bowl of steaming white porridge in front of her and put it into her mouth with a wooden spoon. The scalding hot porridge slid down her throat, warming Yang Cao's cold body and cold soul.
After a long time, Yang Cao whispered to himself: "You're welcome."
Zhao Manxiong gently pressed his temples with his hands to relieve his nervous nerves. Wu Mu sat on the leather couch opposite his desk and silently read the report of this operation. The sandalwood customized by Zizhenzhai in the corner of the room
The hands of the clock make a bouncing and monotonous sound, like a hypnotic pendulum, making people unconsciously sleepy.
After a long time, Wu Mu finally raised his head and dropped the two reports in his hands on the coffee table.
There was a brief silence in the office. After a while, Zhao Manxiong raised his head and asked: "How is it?"
Wu Mu asked back: "How about what?"
Zhao Manxiong pointed at the report and Wu Mu said: "From the perspective of investigation, it was a failure, a complete failure. The lurkers were exposed, the civilian informants were exposed, fierce armed conflicts occurred, and a large number of people were killed and injured, even though they belonged to the enemy. This
Is it personal heroism? Does Xu Tong really think he is Kenjiro?"
