Starting from 40, holding the Star Mall to lead the motherland

Chapter 58: Hitting the Sniper Rifle

Han Hui slept for an hour, then grabbed breakfast and rode her bike to work. She was stopped three times for ID checks, which delayed her so much that she was late.

After Han Hui entered the office, she stuffed a large meat bun into Zhang Ziqiang's pocket and deliberately asked, "Brother Qiang, what happened? There were Japanese and Japanese invaders all over my way to work."

Zhang Ziqiang took the big meat bun, took a bite and said excitedly: "The Japanese patrol ship was blown up and burned. I don't know which hero did it."

Han Hui understood his excitement. The Japanese and their traitors had been bullying and exploiting the Chinese people. With the exception of traitors and traitors, everyone hated these invaders with a deep hatred.

"yawn……"

Han Hui sneezed loudly and thought to herself that she must have caught a cold yesterday. What a mistake! She should have had a cup of brown sugar ginger tea when she got home instead of drinking a large cup of strong tea just to keep herself awake.

Zhang Ziqiang saw that she kept sneezing and had a runny nose. After finishing his patrol, he said, "You have a cold. Go to the clinic later."

Han Hui doesn't like taking medicine, especially Chinese medicine. The taste is really amazing: "No, I'll just drink a bowl of ginger soup when I get home tonight to sweat it out."

Zhang Ziqiang felt that young people should take better care of their health, so after finishing his patrol, he went to talk to Li Jingang about the matter: "Xiao Han is still a child after all. Now that she is sick, let her go home and rest for half a day!"

Li Jingang was a very considerate boss. He immediately called Han Hui over and said, "Your health is your foundation. You can't just endure being sick. I'll give you half a day off to see a doctor."

The main thing was that Han Hui not only did not delay her work, but also helped with the attendance, bookkeeping and other tasks of Group 3, saving him a lot of trouble.

Han Hui felt that it was unnecessary, but since her leader was so considerate of his subordinates, she certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to refuse.

After returning home, Han Hui first practiced a set of Eighteen Section Brocade, worked up a sweat, rested for a while, and drank a bowl of brown sugar ginger soup.

After returning to her room and lying down, Han Hui entered the space and asked, "System, system, why did you provide me with a map at that time? Can you provide me with a map if I need it in the future?"

The map provided by the system played a key role in her being able to burn the patrol ship so smoothly this time. Otherwise, if the Japanese discovered her, they would damage the patrol ship but would definitely not be able to burn it.

The system is as quiet as a chicken.

Han Hui had gotten used to it. This time, she'd spent 28 Wealth Points on burning the patrol boat and buying maps and diving suits. Now, she had only 13.5 Wealth Points left, returning her to poverty overnight. But it was money well spent, and she'd spend it again if she had to.

Just as she was about to exit, the system suddenly popped up the word "Lottery." Apparently, the system considered blowing up the patrol ship a significant accomplishment and was willing to award her with a reward.

This time, the draw was for a sniper rifle, with a range of 2000 meters. Han Hui had previously spent 50,000 wealth points on a sniper rifle in the mall, but it only had a range of 800 meters and was not as accurate as this one.

This sniper rifle is beyond the level of people of this era, and if used well it can achieve extraordinary results.

Han Hui was so sleepy that she put her sniper rifle away and went to sleep. When she woke up, she was full of energy and vitality. She felt that it was great to be able to practice martial arts. In the interstellar space, not only was her mental strength low, her physical condition was also poor, and she couldn't even learn basic physical training techniques.

Huang Shufen was delighted to see her full of energy and finish three more bowls of rice. "If your brother's health could be as good as yours, I wouldn't have to worry."

Han Hui put a chicken drumstick into her bowl and said, "Mom, you are the one with the worst health in our family. You should eat more good food."

There were still four small Rejuvenating Pills left. She had wanted to give one to Huang Shufen, but after a moment's thought, she gave up. She couldn't predict the properties of the Rejuvenating Pills, and it would be disastrous if Huang Shufen couldn't handle it.

Huang Shufen and Xiaocao went to sell braised dishes. After they left, Han Mengyang asked Han Hui, "Where did you go the night before last and all day yesterday?"

"Going to work!"

Han Mengyang didn't believe her at all: "Mom has been restless since last night. She didn't sleep all night and her eyes were bloodshot. Xiaoman, tell me, where did you go yesterday?" Han Hui said the same thing and went to work.

Han Mengyang sighed: "Xiaoman, I am your brother, your biological brother, I will not harm you."

Han Hui didn't say anything, saying that she was sleepy and wanted to rest.

Han Mengyang stopped her and said, "Xiao Man, I know you're good at martial arts, but killing the devils requires proper methods and techniques. Relying solely on your courage like this will be very dangerous."

Han Hui said, "I don't know what you are talking about" and went upstairs.

Han Mengyang knew this meant he didn't trust him. None of them were willing to tell the truth, and he didn't know where to start.

That night, Han Hui was awakened three times by gunfire. Despite the strict interrogation following Yasui's murder, no gunshots were heard in the middle of the night. The burning of the patrol boat the previous night had driven the Japanese mad. But it made sense. With Yasui's murder, Sato, fearing the resentment from his uncle in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, would surely pursue the murderer and give the Yasui family an explanation. However, Yasui was only a colonel, and death on the battlefield was commonplace; patrol boats, however, were different. Each one was worth four or five million dollars, and burning one down would be a devastating loss.

The next morning, Huang Shufen said to Han Hui, "There was constant gunfire last night, so I won't be setting up my stall for the next two days. Xiaoman, you should also take a few days off. It's too dangerous out there."

Han Hui shook her head and said, "Mom, if everyone takes leave because they are afraid of danger, the terminal will not be able to operate normally. Mom, don't worry, I will take the tram today."

Huang Shufen was still very worried, but she couldn't persuade him: "Then you stay at the dock tonight and don't come back. Those beasts kill without blinking an eye, it's best not to get close to them, so as not to be contaminated by their bad luck."

"it is good."

As soon as she got to work, Han Hui found out that her partner Zhang Ziqiang had taken a leave of absence and was temporarily replaced by Wang Hai.

Wang Hai told her that yesterday, the Japanese invaders were chasing prisoners and pushed Zhang's mother to the ground when she returned home. "Ziqiang has taken leave to stay home and take care of his aunt. Xiaohan, I'll go visit them after get off work. Do you want to come?"

After get off work, Han Hui bought a pound of candy and a box of cakes. The cakes were for Zhang's mother, whose teeth were usually weak at her age, so cakes were just right for her; the candies were for the three children.

Wang Hai was very down-to-earth and bought a chicken.

Han Hui knew Zhang Ziqiang's family was short of housing, but seeing their family of five squeezed into a room of just over ten square meters still seemed too cramped. However, this house was bought by Zhang Ziqiang, and it was much better than the many poor people who lived in precarious shacks. At least they had a roof over their heads.

Zhang Ziqiang saw that they were carrying things and said, "You just came here, why are you spending money?"

Wang Hai was a straightforward person, and he said whatever was on his mind: "Xiao Han bought so many candies and cakes, I feel embarrassed to go empty-handed! The chicken will be for Auntie to nourish her body."

Han Hui felt very comfortable getting along with them. They just said whatever they wanted to say without beating around the bush.

Zhang Ziqiang invited them to have dinner at his home, but both of them declined and left after chatting for a while.

Mother Zhang looked at the candy and said, "We don't have much food at home. Take this candy and exchange it for some food."

Zhang Ziqiang was a little reluctant and whispered, "Mom, this is a gift from Xiao Han. Keep it for the children!"

Zhang's mother also loved her children, but the family was poor, so she had to be frugal. "You're the only one in our family who earns money. This is milk candy, which can be exchanged for 20 kilograms of coarse grain. Listen to me, keep the cakes for them, and the candy must be exchanged for grain."

Zhang Ziqiang felt uncomfortable, but still responded in a low voice.
