Chapter 20: The Lurkers (2)
Things seemed to have been beyond Yao Ansheng's expectations, the masked man's car quickly left the street just now, and after passing through several excuses in a row, the car, which had slowed down, suddenly turned around and stopped outside a gate. "Get out of the car, if you want to stay in the car all the time, that's fine." After the masked man turned off the fire, he stretched out his hand to push the car door and walked out, seeing that Yao Ansheng was still sitting in the car with a puzzled face, so he just smiled and strode over to open the door.
Yao Ansheng finally came back to his senses, hurriedly got out of the car, and looked at the masked man again, who had already pushed open the door. Behind the gate was an empty space like a warehouse, and the masked man turned around and drove the car into the warehouse, and Yao Ansheng naturally followed the car into the warehouse. "There should be something wrong with your military commander, otherwise a lurker like you who has no mission should not be exposed, I think, you had better stay here for a few days first. I would also like to remind you that the place where you live is likely to be targeted by number 76, so don't think about going back to find something. ”
The masked man's voice echoed in the warehouse, and Yao Ansheng subconsciously nodded while also turning his head to look around the warehouse. From what he could see, Yao Ansheng judged that the warehouse should have been hastily arranged, because he had already seen that there were still uncleaned garbage and debris in the corners of the warehouse. Following Yao Ansheng's line of sight, the masked man suddenly laughed, "This place was borrowed by a friend, this place was really a warehouse, and it's normal to have a little garbage and sundries." ”
Seeing the masked man's gesture towards him, Yao Ansheng immediately followed the other party over, and after turning the wooden boxes in the middle of the warehouse, Yao Ansheng finally made up his mind. "Just sit down, the environment here is not very good, but it's far safer here than outside. There is food and water here, and when I leave, I will leave you a gun, so I will stay here for a few days. As he spoke, the masked man, who had already sat down in his chair, reached out and removed the black cloth from his face.
"Hiss..." Yao Ansheng has actually been very curious about this masked man who suddenly rescued him, and from the voice of the other party, Yao Ansheng judged that the other party's age should not be very old. But after really seeing the other party's appearance, Yao Ansheng couldn't help but gasp, not because the other party's appearance was too peculiar or beautiful, but because the other party's age was too young, and he looked like he was about 20 years old.
Lu Yuan, who took off the cloth towel, sat like a pine, not at all because of the look of surprise on Yao Ansheng's face at the moment, in fact, Lu Yuan, who had been masked, enjoyed the shock that the other party revealed. Among the people Lu Yuan came into contact with, including Hogg and Schuchman, when everyone saw Lu Yuan's true appearance at first sight, they couldn't help but show the same expression as Yao Ansheng at the moment, because Lu Yuan looked too young.
"You... Who the hell are you? How do you know I'm a lurker in the military command? Yao Ansheng, who gradually settled down, quickly analyzed the current situation in his mind, and after seeing that the other party didn't seem to have any ill will towards him, Yao Ansheng sat down opposite Lu Yuan, and then asked Lu Yuan. Once the lurker opens the nest and enters the incubation area, it will immediately implement a single line of contact, if the follow-up line is lost, the lurker will send a signal to the lair in accordance with the agreed way, and the lurker is absolutely not allowed to skip the level of contact or get the task.
At a glance, he could point out his identity as an inlurker, Yao Ansheng knew that the young man in front of him was by no means an ordinary person, looking at the situation when he shot those No. 76 plainclothes agents just now, Yao Ansheng was more willing to believe that the other party was a person sent by the military commander. In the face of Yao Ansheng's inquiry, Lu Yuan just smiled but did not speak immediately, but took out a cigarette and lit one, and then slowly answered Yao Ansheng's questions just now.
"Don't guess, I'm not your military commander, you can treat me as an ally for the time being." Lu Yuan's words made Yao Ansheng's eyes shrink, and the hands on his legs unconsciously clenched into fists. Seeing the other party's reaction, Lu Yuan immediately popped out a cigarette from the cigarette case and handed it to Yao Ansheng, and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, I just said that I am not your enemy." And I don't belong to any organization, so in short, we should be allies. ”
Reaching out to take the cigarette handed by Lu Yuan, the expression on Yao Ansheng's face looked much softened, but he didn't really believe Lu Yuan yet, after all, Lu Yuan came out of nowhere. "Okay, I see you're tired too, so you can rest first. There's food and water in the box over there, I'll come back tomorrow to see you, and if you want to get out of here, please lock the door for me when you leave. Lu Yuan stood up and handed Yao Ansheng a Browning pistol and two spare magazines before leaving.
Lu Yuan left on foot, and the car that originally belonged to No. 76 was left in the warehouse, and seeing Lu Yuan leave, Yao Ansheng did not choose to leave immediately, but turned around and returned to the warehouse. He knew in his heart that if he returned to the place where he lived at this time, there was a more than eighty percent chance that he would be arrested by the spies waiting there. Yao Ansheng didn't want to die, especially when he was captured by the spies without performing a single mission, so he chose to stay here patiently.
In Yao Ansheng's restless waiting and suffering, the night finally came, and after the carbon black, Yao Ansheng, who was secretly thinking about it, had the courage to leave the warehouse. Yao Ansheng, who left the warehouse, first returned to the place where he was arrested during the day to take a look, and found that there seemed to be nothing abnormal in the street where he was arrested and rescued, the shops on both sides of the street were open as usual, and there were still passers-by passing through the street. Impossible, Yao Ansheng, who saw this scene, was a little confused, according to the virtue of No. 76, he was killed several subordinates, how could No. 76 swallow this breath.
Of course, No. 76 couldn't swallow this breath, and only a quarter of an hour after Lu Yuan drove Yao Ansheng away, a large number of plainclothes spies of No. 76 rushed into the concession under the leadership of Japanese plainclothes gendarmes, but unfortunately, all they saw were corpses and broken cars. In broad daylight, someone dared to attack the people of No. 76, and Li Shiqun, who learned the news, was about to blow up his lungs. From the beginning of the formation of No. 76 to the present, his plainclothes agents have been repeatedly attacked on the ground of the concession, and even Wu Sibao has been killed.
In the dark, Li Shiqun felt that No. 76 was being targeted, and counting the dead and disabled plainclothes spies from the beginning of the formation of No. 76 to the present, there are more than 100 people. The attacker was not found, and the plainclothes agents who rushed to the scene naturally could not find any witnesses, so they could only return to the 76 headquarters with the bodies of their companions first. Li Shiqun, who was furious, had to find the Qing Gang, and the people of No. 76 were not allowed to enter the concession with weapons, but the Qing Gang was not subject to this restriction, and the Qing Gang was pervasive in the concession, and there were many ways to collect intelligence.
Yao Ansheng didn't see anything unusual in the place where the firefight took place, and the vigilance in his heart relaxed slightly, although he didn't forget Lu Yuan's advice when he left, but a trace of luck rose in his heart at this moment, and he wanted to check the secret mailbox again. Yao Ansheng pretended to walk through the street as if nothing happened, but the Browning pistol left by Lu Yuan was tightly held in Yao Ansheng's hand, as long as he found that the surrounding situation was wrong, Yao Ansheng would take out the pistol from his shirt and shoot as soon as possible.
The secret mailbox still didn't move, the mark Yao Ansheng made a few days ago was still the same, and Yao Ansheng, who was lost in his heart, did not return to the warehouse immediately, but continued to walk aimlessly along the street. Losing contact with the upline, Yao Ansheng's only way is to contact the base camp in the agreed way, and then wait for the base camp to arrange a new upline to contact him. If it hadn't happened a few hours ago, Yao Ansheng might have been able to continue waiting, but now, Yao Ansheng was already distraught and out of ideas.
Unconsciously, Yao Ansheng actually followed the familiar route back to his residence, and was about to cross the street with his legs raised as usual to go to the lo-mei shop called Song Ji on the side of the street, but Yao Ansheng suddenly found that something seemed to be wrong. Outside Song Ji's lo-mei shop, there was suddenly a cigarette stall today, and not far from the cigarette stall, two guys who looked suspicious were pretending to be unintentional and looking over.
Yao Ansheng has lived here for more than half a year, and he has never found that there is a cigarette stall outside Song Ji, and looking at the behavior and reaction of the cigarette stall vendor, it is obviously a little weird. Especially on the feet of the cigarette stall vendor, obviously wearing a pair of leather shoes, how can a cigarette stall vendor who sells cigarettes to make a living be willing to spend money to buy a pair of leather shoes to wear? Thinking of this, Yao Ansheng chuckled directly in his heart, and his right hand unconsciously reached into the robe to hold the grip of the pistol.
There is no way to go back to the residence, Yao An, who understands in his heart, stiffly pressed his heart to endure the wild beat, and continued to walk along the street with smooth steps. Yao Ansheng was walking on the side of the street, but he had been paying attention to the reaction of the cigarette stall and the two strangers on the other side of the street with the corner of his eye, and found that the two strangers seemed to have withdrawn their gaze, and Yao Ansheng, who was excited in his heart, couldn't help but speed up. Yao Ansheng, who was anxious to get out of danger, forgot what the intelligence instructor in the school had specially warned them about, that it was not terrible to encounter the enemy or be suspected by the enemy during the lurking process, but it was terrible because of his own negligence to attract the enemy's attention.
Yao Ansheng is in such a situation now, if he didn't speed up and still walked at the speed just now, the cigarette seller and the two plainclothes spies on the other side of the street would never pay attention to Yao Ansheng. But his quickening pace attracted the attention of the three people on the other side of the street, especially the two strangers standing on the corner of the street threw away the cigarette butts in their hands, crossed the street directly, and walked towards Yao Ansheng.
