Chapter 23: Simple Tasks
Unlike the street with street lamps outside the courtyard, Lu Yuan, who was in the backyard of the commercial house, only felt that it was dark in front of him, so he squatted quietly by the wall and waited for a while, and when he got used to the dim light in the yard, Lu Yuan slowly moved forward. The layout in the backyard of the comptoir was almost indistinguishable from the information provided by Hansen, and after leaving the flower bed by the wall, Lu Yuan's left foot had already landed on the concrete floor. Lu Yuan's soft-soled cloth shoes on his feet walked on the cement floor almost without making a sound, and he quickly crossed the cement floor in the middle of the yard like a tanuki, and in the blink of an eye, Lu Yuan had already moved to the outside of the few connected low houses in the east corner of the yard.
It is said that these houses are low houses, because compared to the gable against which they are backed, these houses are obviously shorter, and if you look at these houses alone, a house with a 2-meter-high gate is not low. Lu Yuan, who was outside the low house, stood sideways in the shadows outside the house, listening intently for a while, and then slowly moving a few steps forward, listening sideways to the sound coming from the low house. After a while, Lu Yuan ran towards the front yard of the trading house with a pistol equipped with a silencer.
The entire backyard seemed to be only a few guards laughing in the low house, and according to the sound coming from the low house, Lu Yuan judged that there were at least 4 guards in the low house at this moment. However, before solving the four guards in the low house, the cautious Lu Yuan also had to determine whether there were still guards in the front yard of the trading house, and opened the full-view map to carefully search around to confirm that there were no guards elsewhere Lu Yuan returned to the outside of the low house.
According to the location shown on the full-view map, Lu Yuan silently calculated in his heart that he could not make the four guards in the low house make a sound, but also quickly solve the battle, and the difficulty during this period could not be considered small. If the guards in the low house call the alarm, all the plans that follow will be ruined. But for the sake of the wealth that was about to arrive, Lu Yuan had to kill the four guards in the low house, and he absolutely couldn't allow his failure to affect a large amount of income to become a waste.
Therefore, Lu Yuan, who was hidden in the shadows outside the low house, could only keep giving himself hints and cheering him up, and at the same time, he kept rehearsing in his mind every step after he rushed into the low house, who he killed first, and then the other party's reactions and changes. Only a minute had passed, but Lu Yuan had already rehearsed more than a dozen times in his mind. The tension and pressure made Lu Yuan's whole body sweat, as if he had been fished out of water.
The sound in the low house became louder and louder, and the four guards who were obviously gambling money had begun to enter the state, which was extremely beneficial to Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan was about to launch here, but suddenly heard two cat meows, and a spirit flashed in his heart, Lu Yuan immediately moved to the left and squatted behind the water tank in the yard. An almost inaudible sound came from far and near, Lu Yuan looked over secretly, but saw Xu Huanshan, who was carrying a pistol, touching the low house.
Xu Huanshan, who pretended to be a cat to warn, did not find Lu Yuan's location, nor did he know that he had appeared in Lu Yuan's sight, Xu Huanshan was getting closer and closer to the water tank where Lu Yuan was hiding. Lu Yuan, who had already made up his mind, took a deep breath, and before Xu Huanshan came back to his senses, he suddenly flashed out, stopped Xu Huanshan behind him with one hand, and then stepped forward and opened the door of the low house with his left shoulder.
Lu Yuan's appearance was so sudden that before Xu Huanshan could react, he was already blocked by Lu Yuan. When he came back to his senses, Lu Yuan had already broken into the low house in front of him, and then Xu Huanshan heard a few soft sounds of puff and puff. Lu Yuan broke into the low house, and the guard who was seated in front of the door just looked up to see who pushed the door open, and a hole was already carved out of the door by Lu Yuan's first bullet. said that it was too late, and then it was too fast, Lu Yuan's first shot when he broke into the low house hit the guard facing him seated, moved the muzzle of the gun to the left, and killed the guard on the left hand side with one shot.
Before the remaining two guards who participated in the gambling came back to their senses, Lu Yuan's fingers pulled the trigger one after another, hitting the guard with his back to him first, and the last surviving guard did not escape the bullet shooting. Four shots shot the four guards in the low house, and Lu Yuan, who stopped shooting, gasped as if all the strength in his body had been drained. But he couldn't stop yet, so he turned around with his pistol and looked at Xu Huanshan, who was standing at the door, and asked sharply, "Didn't you wait outside?" ”
Xu Huanshan, who was asked by Lu Yuan, was somewhat aggrieved in his heart, and said in his heart that if you hadn't moved for half a day when you entered the courtyard, Lao Tzu would not have been idle and had nothing to do to touch in and suffer this crime. He thought so in his heart, but Xu Huanshan didn't say it, because Lu Yuan just shouted at him, and then turned around and stopped caring about himself.
Everyone had already come in, but fortunately, it didn't cause any trouble, so Lu Yuan just casually asked Xu Huanshan a word, and then stopped caring about this guy who was almost bad. In the low house full of blood, Lu Yuan, who had recovered his strength, first searched for all the pistols and bullets on the four guards, and then said to Xu Huanshan while rummaging through the low house for valuable things and objects, "You can go and inform your subordinates to come over now, it is best to drive the truck directly, you have the whole night, if you plan properly, you can take a lot of things." ”
Xu Huanshan left according to his words, and went to tell the man who was waiting outside the courtyard of the trading house to inform the others to come over, and when Xu Huanshan returned to the courtyard, Lu Yuan had already searched the low house carefully, and the valuable items found had been packed by him and ready to take away. "Help, there's a bunch of keys over there, try to open those warehouses on the north side of the yard." Seeing that Xu Huanshan was idle, Lu Yuan threw a bunch of keys and a flashlight to the other party.
was scolded by Lu Yuan for no reason, but Xu Huanshan didn't say anything, just tried the set of keys according to Lu Yuan's instructions. There are four warehouses in the north corner of the courtyard of the trading house, and the tobacco soil that Han Sen asked for and Lu Yuan told Xu Huanshan that their chemical agent should be in those warehouses, anyway, there is no danger in the yard, even if those keys can't be used, it is okay to directly smash the lock when the time comes.
I don't know if it's Lu Yuan's luck or Xu Huanshan's good luck, the set of keys that Lu Yuan threw to Xu Huanshan happened to be the keys that could open the warehouse. "Don't get too complacent, according to what we said beforehand, all the smoke and soil here is mine." Putting the burden in his hand outside the warehouse door first, Lu Yuan squeezed Xu Huanshan into one of the warehouses, and without looking at the boxes marked with tobacco first, Zhao Lei just picked up a crowbar and pried open a long wooden box that he felt suspicious.
"Hey, this time it's really a treasure." In the long wooden box that was pried open by Lu Yuan was a few brand-new rifles that smelled of gun oil, unlike Xu Huanshan, who was not very familiar with rifles, Lu Yuan could recognize the origin of these rifles in the box at a glance. "This is, the Thirty-Eight Rifle." The dust cover on the bolt of the rifle in the box was very eye-catching, so that Lu Yuan could recognize their origin at a glance, and immediately reached out and grabbed a rifle from the box to look through it carefully.
The heavy feeling in his hand made Zhao Lei very satisfied, and he casually raised the gun and made a gesture of raising the gun to be shot, and a thought suddenly sprouted in Lu Yuan's mind. "Lao Xu, these are the Type 38 rifles that the Japanese army is currently equipping, and I guess you must be interested in them as well. There are 20 long crates here, and each box should contain 5 of these rifles, and I will only take one box of 5 of these rifles, and the rest will be yours. Regardless of whether Xu Huanshan was willing or not, Lu Yuan had already moved the box he had pried open to the side.
After checking the other boxes in this warehouse, the results were basically the same as what Lu Yuan said, there were still 19 boxes containing rifles, a total of 95 Type 38 rifles. When the two of them found the bullets, Lu Yuan grabbed two more boxes of bullets and put them aside, "Lao Xu, you see that there are a total of 10 boxes of bullets here, and it won't be in the way if I take two boxes." If there is still such an opportunity, let's cooperate again, is it possible that you only plan to make a deal with me? In the face of Lu Yuan's behavior and attitude similar to that of a scoundrel, Xu Huanshan was very speechless, so he could only let Lu Yuan move two boxes of Arsaka rifle cartridges, and as for the three boxes of Japanese-style grenades that were found in the end, Xu Huanshan said that he would not give Lu Yuan anything.
"Okay, okay, if you don't give it, forget it, look at your pick." Lu Yuan said this in his mouth, but in his heart, he was already happy, and he was actually very satisfied to be able to meet this good thing, and to snatch five 38 rifles and two boxes of ammunition from Xu Huanshan's hands. The people brought by Xu Huanshan to help rushed to the trading house one after another, and according to the steps agreed between Lu Yuan and Xu Huanshan, all the people worked together to load the tobacco and soil in the warehouse onto the truck first.
"You send someone to drive the truck to this address, and tell the man guarding the warehouse that you're a friend of Mr. Huffman. Don't say anything, don't ask anything, you just have to hand over the truck to the other person. I've already told them that they'll give you an empty car, and when the time comes, you'll just be able to drive back here empty. All the tobacco and soil were successfully loaded onto the truck, Lu Yuan handed over the address of the warehouse to Xu Huanshan, whispered a few words, and went straight to the front yard of the commercial house.
"You're so relieved of our people? Aren't you afraid that we will swallow all the smoke? Xu Huanshan asked faintly behind Lu Yuan, but saw that Lu Yuan didn't turn around at all, but just raised the middle finger of his right hand at himself. Xu Huanshan didn't know what the middle finger meant, but seeing that Lu Yuan didn't care about himself at all, Xu Huanshan had to shake his head and smile bitterly, and continued to urge his subordinates to move those rifles and bullets out of the warehouse.
