Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain

The pursuing miners, seeing the man escape over the wall, looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.

"Boss, should we keep chasing? There's an alley across the street, we can go there..." a quick-witted henchman whispered to the captain.

What a joke! They're just working for the mine protection team, earning a salary. Their mission is to patrol the residential area with guns, and they haven't been slacking off at all.

Now that the person has escaped, it's considered that we've done our best. If we chase them out into the alley, and they happen to be shot by a stray bullet, we'll have nowhere to seek justice.

Whether out of personal motives or practical considerations, chasing after them is not the best option.

The mine protection team leader frowned and hesitated for a second: "Let's not chase after them, let's go upstairs and see what's going on!"

Xiao Ning, call the phone number the big boss left with and tell him that someone broke into his house. We heard something was wrong and came after them immediately, but we couldn't catch up and they got away!
Tell them to hurry up and come here! The rest of you, follow me!

The captain gave instructions, and everyone immediately got to work.

I went upstairs from the unit entrance and then went to the third-floor apartment to check the actual situation.

When they opened the door with the spare key, everyone frowned.

A pungent smell of blood assaulted everyone's senses. The squad leader turned on the light switch by the door, revealing the scene inside the room to everyone.

Bloodstains were splattered everywhere on the ground, the woman lay in a pool of blood, and both children were dead.

In the center of the living room, there was only an unopened box and a stack of loose bills.

"vomit……"

Several people who had never seen blood before immediately began to gag.

The squad leader, trying to appear calm, sighed, "It's over, someone climbed in through the window! You all go and guard the door, don't let them in, they'll disrupt the scene!"

The group immediately retreated; such a bloody scene would be quite a sensory shock to ordinary people.

The others went out, leaving only one teammate standing to the side without moving.

"Boss, what do we do next? This..."

The team member named Hong Tao subtly pointed with his nose to the box in the living room, along with the brand-new "Big Unity" coins scattered on the floor.

In an instant, the squad leader understood Hong Tao's meaning.

In the past few days, all sorts of rumors have been circulating in the mine. There are whispers that the Qiao family is in big trouble and is being hunted down. Now it seems that this rumor might not be entirely unfounded.

Now the person is dead, and the murderer also stole a huge bundle, which was mostly filled with gold, silver and valuables.

The squad leader was named Li Cunzhi. He and Wang Hongtao had been colleagues for several years and had a very good relationship in private. They were like-minded.

Li Cunzhi hesitated for half a second before saying, "Hong Tao, you're brave. Put a coat on your sister-in-law! Cover the faces of the two little ones too!"
The person must have climbed in through the kitchen window. Check carefully to make sure nothing was left behind!

Wang Hongtao immediately understood what he meant. He mustered his courage and went into the inner room. He covered the female corpse, then quietly carried the suitcase full of money into the kitchen. He looked around and stuffed the suitcase into the bottom of an inconspicuous shelf behind the kitchen door.

With so many people around, this was all Wang Hongtao could do. As for whether he would be discovered, that was up to luck.

……

On the other side, after Lao Ji climbed over the wall and landed, he struggled to get up. He frantically touched the spot on his left arm where he had felt a heavy blow, thinking he had been hit by a bullet.

Upon touching it, he was overjoyed.

For convenience, Lao Ji carried his double-barreled shotgun on his shoulder.

The bullet fired by the pursuers struck the shotgun behind him, leaving a thumb-sized dent in the bolt carrier. He was hit on the shoulder by the force of the impact, sustaining a superficial wound, but after moving his arm around a few times, he was mostly unharmed.

Old Ji picked up the stolen banknotes and darted into the alley across the street, quickly disappearing from sight.

After turning several corners in the alley, Lao Ji still didn't hear any sound of pursuers behind him.

The naturally bold Lao Ji stopped and hid by a pile of firewood outside a house to rest patiently.

After a series of climbing, killing, and fleeing incidents, I was barely holding on when I was alive, but now that I've relaxed, I feel completely exhausted. I just plopped down and don't want to get up.

It took Lao Ji a full ten minutes to recover some of his strength.

Nothing was happening outside the alley, so Old Ji got up from beside the woodpile.

He glanced at the double-barreled shotgun that had taken a bullet for him. The bolt was deformed, and the left barrel was definitely not firing. The right barrel looked normal, but whether it would work was unknown.

The locking mechanism of firearms is quite delicate. If it is deformed, it is easy for it to fail to fire, or to fire with difficulty, leaking gas and having no power.

I sneaked upstairs just now and killed Qiao Wentao's wife and children, and also took care of Qiao Wenbin's daughter, thus cutting off the Qiao family's lineage.

However, Lao Ji was not satisfied with the current results. The other party must have a purpose in collecting so much money. They were eavesdropping on the mother and son's conversation outside the wall, and they planned to leave in the middle of the night.

Now that something's happened at home, Qiao Wentao will most likely show up to handle it.

"Damn it, are they going to launch another surprise attack?"

Old Ji gritted his teeth and made a very bold decision.

The deformed gun was definitely unusable, and all that was left was a captured single-barreled shotgun, which Lao Ji also felt was a bit unsafe.

The effective range is too short, and the reloaded bullets are not powerful enough.

Old Ji took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. He slapped his forehead, hid the bundle of money and the broken gun behind the woodpile, and then strode towards the Xinhua Bookstore in the city.

In those days, firearms could be purchased at Xinhua Bookstore and Supply and Marketing Cooperatives, but there were certain requirements, such as needing various procedures and certificates.

At this hour, all the shops are closed, so you can try your luck there.

Old Ji has now become a desperate criminal, with four or five lives on his hands, so naturally he doesn't care about minor crimes like stealing.

If you want revenge, tonight is your last chance. If you wait until Qiao Muzhou and his son escape, it will be difficult to show your face again.

Having made up his mind, Lao Ji crouched low and weaved through the alleyways, heading straight for the Xinhua Bookstore.

Once they arrived at the location, they climbed over the wall into the yard, pried open a window from the inside, and then crawled into the warehouse.

After searching through the area, Lao Ji couldn't find any hard-to-find items like double-barreled shotguns or Type 56 semi-automatic rifles; he only found a Jianwei brand small-caliber sporting rifle.

This rifle uses .22 caliber bullets, which are far less powerful than 7.62 medium-powered bullets, but are extremely accurate. If it hits a target's chest or head, a vital area, it can be fatal.

Normally, this type of firearm is used to shoot small to medium-sized animals, such as roe deer and deer.

Old Ji had handled this kind of small-caliber rifle before. Seeing that he couldn't find any other firearms, he decisively took this weapon and a box of bullets and left the bookstore warehouse.

With a new gun in hand, Lao Ji quickly familiarized himself with the weapon and then loaded it with bullets.

This thing can only fire one shot at a time, and it's a manual reload mode. If you're ambushing someone, you'll only have a maximum of two shots to fire.

As Lao Ji walked back, he pondered the situation. He quickly selected a suitable location for a surprise attack. (End of Chapter)
