Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 1245 Shut your mouth
After Wang An finished speaking, mainly because the gunshots were approaching, the middle-aged woman immediately displayed a nimbleness that was in no way inferior to that of a young person. Grabbing the ladder on the bed, she quickly climbed up to the upper bunk in the cubicle.

To be honest, the middle-aged woman's performance left Wang An, Mu Xueli, and Wang Li all stunned.

The main issue was that during our earlier conversation, this woman, who was only in her forties, kept saying she was getting old, her hands and feet weren't as nimble anymore, and it was inconvenient for her to climb up and down things.
To be honest, she was only telling the truth. Wang An felt that of all the things she said, only the statement "it's inconvenient to climb up and down" was true, because it's inconvenient for anyone to climb up and down.

The middle-aged woman's actions immediately reminded Wang An of the rather eccentric old men and women of later generations.

According to his fellow inmates, those damn old guys were incredibly energetic and spirited when they were dancing in the square or walking wildly on the street.

However, as soon as they get on a bus or subway, they rush to grab a seat faster than anyone else. If they can't get a seat, they immediately become a vulnerable group and strongly demand that others respect the elderly and care for the young by giving up their seats for them.

To be honest, Wang An had been incarcerated for so long that he didn't understand the outside world and even scoffed at what his fellow inmates said. But now, he realizes they were absolutely right!

However, this kind of moral issue couldn't be discussed openly, so Wang An glanced at the middle-aged woman and then remained silent.

Immediately afterwards, the young woman also took three steps at a time and quickly climbed up to the upper bunk on the other side.

Wang An and the other two stood there, holding pistols, looking nervously down the corridor like three guardian deities.

In this situation, it's best to stay in your cubicle and not wander out.

Soon, I don't know if it was a few seconds or a minute later, I heard the train's loudspeaker outside announce:
"Attention all passengers, attention all passengers, please do not run around to avoid being accidentally injured."

"Attention all passengers, attention all passengers, please do not run around to avoid being accidentally injured."

The train horn finally stopped after being repeated several times.

Unfortunately, when faced with danger, panic and running around are almost instinctive for humans, and very few people can remain absolutely calm.

Therefore, the train horn had no effect whatsoever, and the chaotic noises from the people only seemed to intensify.

After a while, the middle-aged woman said:
"Comrades from the Public Security Bureau, shouldn't you go out and take a look? Isn't maintaining public order and stability your duty?"

To be honest, when Wang An heard this, he had the urge to slap the old woman.

Although Wang An and his two companions were indeed nominally employees of the railway security department and had the responsibility to help maintain order, they were on a train. The railway security department was responsible for maintaining order on the train, and if Wang An and his companions went out rashly, they would most likely be mistaken for bad guys and shot dead.

Besides, with things so chaotic outside, who cares who you are? Dying would be pointless.

So after the old woman finished speaking, Wang An ignored her and continued to nervously look outside. In Wang An's opinion, his own life was the most important thing.

The main issue was the screams and wails coming from outside, which clearly indicated that someone had been injured or even shot.

But Wang An ignored the old woman, which only fueled her anger. She continued, still dissatisfied:

"What kind of work safety officer are you? You cower and shrink back when something happens. Do you even deserve the clothes you wear?"

Good grief, this old woman is really making a mountain out of a molehill.

It's unclear whether she's blind to the situation or genuinely compassionate. If she has compassion, why doesn't she step forward herself? Instead, she relies on Wang An and the other two passengers – isn't that pure moral blackmail? If she truly had a spirit of selflessness, she shouldn't be hiding in the upper bunk, covering herself with the blanket. And if she could see the situation clearly, she should know that Wang An and the other two guarding the door is the safest thing for them.

Finally, even the most patient Wang An couldn't stand the old woman's nagging any longer. Without turning his head, he whispered to Wang Li:
"Fifth brother, go slap her twice and tell her to shut up."

Upon hearing this, Wang Li was stunned for a moment, then stammered and mumbled:

"Fourth Brother, this... this..."

Before Wang Li could finish speaking, Wang An said coldly:
"Go quickly, you little devil."

So Wang Li put the safety on the gun and casually put it in his pocket. Under the old woman's dumbfounded gaze, Wang Li grabbed the ladder and jumped up, then swung his hand out. After a "smack," Wang Li landed back on the ground.

At the same time, Wang Li also said viciously:

"Shut your mouth, or I'll fucking kill you if you keep nagging."

Because Wang Li's movements were too fast and too sudden, not only did the old woman not react in time, but the young woman did not react in time either.

Fortunately, Wang Li's slap finally made this old woman realize the reality: Wang An and the other two were not her subordinates, and they didn't tolerate her at all.

The young woman wanted to say something, but when Wang Li looked at her with a murderous gaze, she finally shut her mouth.

After waiting a little while, a person stumbled into the cubicle where Wang An and the others were. But when he saw three dark gun barrels pointed at him, he froze on the spot.

Unable to distinguish friend from foe, Wang An dared not fire rashly. He pointed the gun at the man's head with his left hand and said:

"Don't move, give me the gun."

The man swallowed hard and slowly raised his arm, but Wang An immediately shouted:

"I told you not to move."

At this moment, Wang An could not allow the other party to make any move, not even raising their hand. The main reason was that if the other party fired quickly enough, Wang An standing opposite them would be in real danger.

After Wang An shouted, the man was obedient enough to stay still in one position.

Wang An continued to point the gun at the man's head, and said to Mu Xueli and Wang Li, who were also pointing guns at the man's head:
"You two keep a close eye on him. I'm going to get the gun now. If he makes a move, shoot him dead."

Wang An always believed in the saying, "There are always people better than you." Although Wang An insisted on practicing the Eighteen Hands of Grappling every day, he still felt that his martial arts skills were very poor, and the key was that his speed was not fast enough.

Therefore, it's always good to be careful.
