Returning from the abyss

Chapter 49 Take the initiative
In the evening, the lights of every household paint the city with tranquility at night.The original ecological environment maintained by Danma does not have too much hustle and bustle of modern cities. Amidst the shadows of street lights and alleys, two or three idlers pass by roadside stalls. After stopping for a while, smoke from barbecues rises.

"It's really a nostalgic era." Luo Lin sat on the stone steps with a straw in his mouth, a dozen meat skewers in his left hand, and a few sliced ​​doughnuts on the oiled paper bag spread out on his right.He picked up one, opened the incision, clamped the meat skewer and pulled it down, and a handmade Roujiamo was completed.

Standing not far away was Sun Mozhu. She was still dressed in black, but her waist was bulging, obviously stuffed with something.At the moment, holding a bottle of mineral water, I am watching the church door about 100 meters away.

"What kind of world do you live in? I feel very nostalgic."

Before the time came, the two had to chat.In the previous exchanges, it was mainly about how to arrange vigilance and check points, but there was no discussion about the other party's previous life.

"When I was young, I was still fishing in the river, but when I was ten years old, my dad took me to the city, and then I served as a soldier for two years. I learned some tricks from an old soldier, and I never went to the battlefield. After retiring and returning home, I found a job as a security guard and became a single nobleman." Luo Lin grinned and said, "It just so happens that I am the security captain of the Danma Central Hospital this time, so I am back to my job."

"You are also young and promising, but this age is indeed enviable."

"Hey, do you want to tell your story?"

Luo Lin took a bite of the homemade Roujiamo, but he didn't expect Sun Mozhu to respond seriously to his casual question.

"My father should be said to be... the leader of the martial arts alliance?"

"Puff cough! Cough! Wait... wait..." Luo Lin choked, then widened his eyes and looked at Sun Mozhu carefully, "Are you an ancient person?"

"It's correct according to your view of time." Sun Mozhu nodded.

"It's the first time I've seen someone from the past... Then, is the leader of the martial arts real martial arts? Internal strength or something?"

"This should exist even in your era. It is true that we may be better at hard qigong and inner martial arts, and there is no difference in essence."

"Oh, oh." Luo Lin hurriedly took another bite.

Sun Mozhu continued to tell his story.

"My father is the leader of the martial arts... Anyway, in such a position, the thieves and rangers in the wild will give him face, and the sects with mountain gates also obey most orders, but there is always such a problem in the martial arts, that is, the leader The most fundamental guarantee of power is invincible martial arts. But people will always grow old, my father has passed the prime of life, and I am an old man, and it is too early to talk about successors."

Based on these contents alone, Luo Lin, who has been bombarded by countless modern information, can make up a lot of contents in his brain, such as coveting martial arts, exterminating his family, chasing and killing revenge.

"And then my father stepped aside."

"cough!"

Anyway, I didn't choke this time.Luo Lin patted his chest and couldn't help asking strangely: "Then you are safe? Why did you come here?"

"I was going to say—five or six years after that, the imperial court suddenly launched a confiscation and recruitment campaign against the entire martial arts. Some sects that were unwilling to serve were dealt a devastating blow. Although my father was no longer in power, everyone still Respect him, and ask him to discuss it together. Later, I realized that this was actually a planned destruction. The emperor wanted to send troops to the northern border, but he was short of troops and money, so he used this banner to rob. If it is just bandits and the like No one will take care of the disaster, but even some serious sects have been wiped out, so we have to unite and try to negotiate with the imperial court while resisting..."

"Okay, I probably know what's going on."

"Well, the beheading operation, although it is said that my father did not let the core members come out too much in consideration of this problem, but he himself and the accompanying me were ambushed, and I came here as a result."

"Sorry, but you should also know..."

"Everyone knows that, but someone needs to do what should be tried. If a war is really provoked, our country will be in chaos and our people will be harmed." Sun Mozhu looked very serious, "I don't think this There is something wrong with the decision, and it would not be right to deny such an attempt just because of my death."

"But you didn't solve the problem, you just died in vain."

"If one road fails, then go to the other. But that's not something I have to think about. My father can trust those people and the new leader, so I also trust them to make the right decision after getting the news. judgment."

"you……"

Luo Lin looked a little complicated.

"I don't like thinking like you, but I respect people like you."

It was eight o'clock.

The bamboo stick wrapped in oiled paper fell into the trash can with a soft sound.

"Work, Sun Mozhu, I'm very happy to cooperate with someone like you, but... you'd better not use that spirit of sacrifice today."

"I don't mean to sacrifice, it's just that fate has gone to the wrong side. I know what you mean very well."

Gradually, the two, who had a tacit understanding, walked towards the church and the cemetery separately.

The pointer turned slightly, and the hour hand crossed the dividing line at nine o'clock. The moment the first bell rang, the fire illuminated the night sky in a corner of the city.

Detonation begins.The explosives, which seemed to be mainly for burning, instantly engulfed the relatively small theater in flames. Under the cover of fire and smoke, the quietly set up burning lines began to be engraved into the slightly older part of the theater. In the wooden structure, a round of collapse occurred after a while!
Shouts, cursing, crying, countless voices disturbed the theater into chaos, and some agile people who were closer to the gate luckily rushed out from the gate, but they were shocked to find that the street outside was dead silent, and there was no pedestrian.

"Help! Put out the fire!"

The emergency fire alarm responded immediately, but the mobile phone signal became a major obstacle at this moment. Lucky shouted out his location, but didn't expect too much about whether the other party could hear him.

"what happened?"

Finally, from the corner of the road, a girl who looked like a student walked out, holding a mobile phone in her hand, as if she had called just now.

"Go, go call someone, there is a fire, there are still people inside! Why is there no one around here?"

I couldn't see the girl's appearance clearly, but it's always good for someone to ask for help. At this moment, this lucky man was calling in a hurry, but he was not particularly vigilant.

For a moment, a handkerchief covered his mouth and nose, and at the same time he was hit hard on the abdomen, making him gasp involuntarily.

boom.

"A. Then the final uncertainty ruled out."

Cheng Wuling picked up the phone and said to the other side: "Arrange for the police immediately. The fire brigade's response speed will arrive within 10 minutes according to the previous mountain fire, but this is not as fast as you prepared."

"Understood, has anyone been rescued?"

"Send it away safely, and the replacement body has already been burned in. Next, you only need to deal with the five fire spots with artificial traces before saving people, and the rest will wait for everyone to feedback the reactions from various places."

After saying this, Cheng Wuling turned her head to think for a while, glanced at the people on the ground, and said: "There is a person who ran out when the fire started. I fainted. You can deal with it when you deal with the aftermath." a bit."

"... deal with it?"

"Just follow your procedure, and the murder can be covered up, isn't that nothing?"

"understood."

There was a busy tone on the phone, but the other party had hung up.Cheng Wuling looked up at the building that was burning wantonly, but her eyes didn't have any warmth.

At the same time, a few hundred meters away from the fire scene, an unremarkable car was speeding towards the outskirts of the city.Shu Xingruo sat in the back row, Lu Ning sat in the passenger seat, and Ye Fei was the driver.

"Tsk! I thought it would be thrilling!"

Obviously, today's action is not as exciting as his deadly rampage on the streets in the middle of the night a few days ago, at least everything is terribly stable.When the fire started, Shu Xingruo left the theater through the temporary passage and took him away in the car—Cheng Wuling broke down the things that everyone needs to be responsible for into fragmented links, and there is no challenge for the things that need to be responsible here sex.

"It's good that nothing happened. Thank you for your rescue." Shu Xingruo let out a long breath and said to Ye Fei with a smile.

"I just drive a car." Although Ye Fei is impulsive, he is not someone who likes to take credit, so he waved his hand immediately.

"Cheng Wuling told everyone what to do. We didn't know what others were going to do, and she didn't tell us."

Lu Ning slightly complained.

"While it does prevent internal problems, it doesn't feel like we're a team."

"You don't know what kind of temperament she is."

Shu Xingruo smiled.

The three lived together in the distribution center for a few days, and they probably got to know each other a little bit.Cheng Wuling looks indifferent and not approachable, but in fact, he can answer every question, and if he can't answer, he will just say that he can't speak, and he is quite easy to talk to.Totally the kind of person who looks out of place but can easily fit into a group.

"Even I, the rescued person, only knew when to find an excuse to leave and then escape directly into the car through the secret road. I don't know anything else. But I probably know more about the plan from the time schedule."

"Oh?"

"Bai Meng and the class leader stuck the time of the first scene, so that I don't even have to make excuses too deliberately, just make up in the bathroom or something. Then use the timing device to ignite the fire, so as to avoid the danger of being found out if someone needs to ignite the fire, then Come down and remove those ignition devices before the investigation, if it's her, she probably has prepared a fake fire cause." Shu Xingruo said.

Ye Fei smacked his lips again.

"Then she set up the device in advance? What about Baimeng?"

"Although there are many wooden structures in the theater, but not all of them. The fire is just a cover. Most of the stage, including the auditorium, are non-combustible. You only need to avoid cloth such as curtains. Of course, the cause of death in the fire is only It is enough to prepare some suggested anti-virus measures in advance, the class leader will find out the usage of these things in 'time', they just need to hide in a place where the fire cannot be burned and wait for rescue."

Lu Ning told Ye Fei what she knew.

"As for Bai Meng, in order to fully demonstrate the danger of this accident, she will be 'injured'. The other people who came together will inevitably have some minor or serious injuries. Then Shen Xinyue will use such reports to make Shu Xingruo's death look like It seems more normal, even a lucky thing... In such a big fire, only one person died."

"Are you going to cover up to this extent..." Ye Fei felt terrible when he heard it.

"Since the other party wants to cover it up like this, we will use the same method to retaliate. Only when we can detect the problem inside can we say that we are really looking for the opponent. All the targets we are focusing on now have stalking, no matter which side wants to Let’s move, we are all first.”

"Then aren't we taking the initiative?"

"Do not……"

Lu Ning suddenly straightened her body from the state of leaning on the chair, moved her fingers slightly, and a few glass beads fell into the palm of her hand from the cuff, making a crisp sound.

"Our task is not only to pick up people and leave, but also a possible thing."

She stared at a van that suddenly appeared at the intersection ahead, and shouted sharply, "Close your eyes!"

Ye Fei was taken aback, and Shu Xingruo had already hid behind the seat.At the same time, the van in front turned directly onto the reverse road, and the high beams turned on instantly, and the strong light immediately hurt Ye Fei's eyes!
"what!"

Fortunately, even in such a situation, Ye Fei's natural recklessness allowed him to make a suitable response. As soon as he turned the steering wheel, he immediately deflected the driving route, narrowly avoiding the opponent's direct impact!

"They're going to kill us!"

"Calm down! Find a way to stop the car, didn't Yuan Xi lend you the gun?"

Lu Ning just avoided the direct light, reached out to unbuckle the seat belt and helped Ye Fei hold the steering wheel, and at the same time looked up at the rearview mirror inside the car——

"They're back!"
