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

Chapter 1261 Instantly Moved
Just as Wang An was carefully observing the robbers and considering when it would be appropriate to fire, Wang Li suddenly whispered to Wang An:

"Fourth Brother, why don't they scatter and run? If they stick together, they'll all be wiped out in no time!"

Upon hearing this, Wang An, without turning his head, whispered:

"In this desolate, godforsaken place, and in the dead of night, if you were here by yourself, where could you run to?"

After a pause, Wang An continued:

"Leaving aside whether you've taken advantage of the well to capture them, just consider this freezing weather—it's cold enough to kill someone—and the wild wolves and tigers roaming around. Can you handle it all by yourself?"

Wang Li looked around and quickly shook his head, saying:

"It's unlikely, I'm not sure."

Wang An casually remarked:

"You're just a mountain hiker carrying a gun and you're not even sure you're safe? Those nine people only have three guns in total. If they're scattered, won't they die even faster?"

Wang Li nodded and remained silent.

Actually, there was another very important reason why these robbers didn't immediately scatter and escape, which Wang An didn't bother to mention.

That is because people in this era eat too little meat and have poor nutrition, more than 80% of them suffer from night blindness, and these robbers are no exception.

Don't be fooled by their glamorous and wealthy appearance during robberies. In reality, their lives are far from easy. They live a life of constant hiding and uncertainty, barely scraping by. You could say they're living a pretty miserable existence.

To put it bluntly, people who have enough money to eat every day wouldn't do something so immoral, unethical, and risky that could cost them their heads.

As for night blindness, it means that when it gets dark, you can't see anything, or everything you see is a big black shadow.

Of course, although night blindness was very common at that time, it became very rare in later generations.

Soon, Wang An and his companion saw several passengers jumping down from the windows of other carriages. Of course, some passengers got off directly from the carriage doors.

However, this number is a bit too small. Including the passenger who jumped off the train with Wang An, there are only 6 passengers outside the train now.

After thinking for a moment, Wang An turned to Wang Li and whispered:
"They definitely won't scatter in a bit. You start shooting from the left, and I'll start from the right. Let's each fire a bullet at them first. It's best if we wound them, but if we kill them, that's it. Got it?"

Wang Li nodded and glanced at the large Type 54 pistol in his hand, saying:
"If only I had a Type 56 semi-automatic, I could have left them all here by myself."

Wang An rolled his eyes at Wang Li and said:

"Why are you causing trouble? We already have 56 people, why would we need you?"

Suddenly, Wang An and his companion saw the robbers inside the car throw two sacks out, and the two robbers outside immediately hoisted the sacks onto their backs.

Then Wang Li said to Wang An:
"Fourth Brother, do you think those two sacks are full of good stuff?"

Wang An nodded and said:

"That's for sure. These things are really something else. They took things right under Chengjing's nose."

Wang Li said with a beaming smile:
"Fourth Brother, how about we double-cross them and hide these two sacks in the sand? What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Wang An was immediately tempted.

The main problem was that while they were in the cubicle, although there was a considerable amount of money and valuables in the sack, Wang An absolutely could not touch those things under the watchful eyes of everyone.

The main point is that no matter how valuable they are, they all have one thing in common: they are evidence, or stolen goods!

So, Wang An thought for a moment and said:
"Let's see how it goes. There are a few guys coming down the well over there. If they can't see us, we'll bury these two sacks." Just as the two young men were plotting their mischief, all nine robbers finally jumped down.

After jumping down, the nine robbers didn't linger and went straight into the bushes. Wang An was about to shoot, but he hesitated when he thought of the two sacks.

Immediately afterwards, Wang An looked towards the wells and saw that the wells had already run towards them.

If they didn't fire soon, they might accidentally injure these people who were riding in the well. So, Wang An didn't hesitate any longer and whispered to Mu Xueli:

"Don't shoot the two guys carrying sacks yet, shoot the other seven first."

As they spoke, Wang An and Wang Li began firing shots at the robbers.

Two sharpshooters, so close together, and despite the very dim light, neither of them wasted a single bullet, especially the three men with guns, who were the first to be hit by Wang An and his companion.

There's no way around it; the person with the gun is always the most dangerous.

As the gunshots rang out, screams of agony followed one after another.

Since the robbers were still adjusting to the darkness, and of course, the few passengers who got off the bus later were even less accustomed to it.

Although there were two people carrying flashlights, they were easy targets, so they didn't dare to turn them on.

But Wang An and his companion had already completely adapted.

So when they heard the gunshots, the men who hadn't yet adjusted to the darkness all lay down on the spot, while the robbers, like headless flies, began to flee, howling in pain.

Especially the two carrying sacks, because they only heard the gunshots but didn't feel the bullets hitting them, they ran incredibly fast.

Actually, if these robbers had just lay down on the spot, they would have been much safer, since the area was overgrown with weeds. However, they were already panicked, and then suddenly they were shot. Anyone who could run ran even faster.

Soon, Wang An and Wang Li emptied their magazines.

Instead of rushing to give chase, the two men changed their magazines. Wang An glanced at the backs of the two robbers carrying sacks before shouting to the others:

"Comrade, we are also from the Workers' Safety Department. Comrade Xu asked us for help. Several of the robbers have been injured and are unable to resist. Please handle this carefully while we go after the two who escaped."

Just as Wang An turned to leave, one of the well-riders called out to him:

"Comrade Xiao Wang, I have a flashlight here, why don't you take it?"

Just by listening to the voice, you could tell that the person who was going to give Wang An the flashlight was Cheng Jing, the shorter one who had gone to find the driver to park the car earlier.

As he spoke, the short man ran towards Wang An through the well.

Wang An casually took the flashlight and said:
“Give us five minutes, they can’t escape.”

As they spoke, Wang An, holding a flashlight, and Wang Li chased after the two dark figures who had already run some distance away.

Running through the mountains, Wang An was truly fearless.

The main problem was that it was pitch black, and the two robbers were running slowly and inefficiently.
