Chapter 1250 The Enemy“s Targe
Huo Shaoheng hesitated for a second, then silently changed the direction of his footsteps and darted into the shadows of the pillars in front of the convenience store.The gangster who had been hiding in the convenience store and waiting for him to enter suddenly realized that there was no one outside.
He rubbed his eyes and looked out the door. It was still quiet underneath the moonlight. Not far away, the jeep was refueling, but the tall man who had just walked towards them had disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Huo Shaoheng’s actions were too fast. He was so fast that he had already disappeared before these people could react. It was as if he had vanished into thin air.
“What should we do? That person is too sly. Did he discover us? ”
“That’s impossible, right? We didn’t go out at all.”
“Let’s give it a try… ”
The people in the room whispered to each other through the automated walkie-talkie in small voices.
Huo Shaoheng observed for a while but saw that the other party still wasn’t making any movements. He was about to leave quietly.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of a sniper rifle equipped with a silencer rang out at his feet.
Then, it stirred up dust everywhere on the ground in front of the convenience store.
The other party was baiting him.
Huo Shaoheng quickly stopped dead in his tracks and continued to observe from behind the colonnade.
He was in a small corridor in front of the convenience store. There were a few thick, wavy beams at the top of the corridor, and there was an open roof.
Leaving a mottled mark on the ground, the moonlight shone through the gaps between the beams.
Huo Shaoheng tried his best to not let the other party discover his location.
However, the dull gunshots were especially jarring in the quiet Siberian night.
When Vladimir and the driver, who were refueling, heard the gunshots, they immediately pulled out their guns and fired back.
There was a gunfight at the gas station, and the danger could be big or small.
So the two of them only fired a few shots, and upon seeing that the other side didn’t make any movements, they stopped firing. They simply hid and watched their movements from the convenience store.
The driver said quietly, “Is it the same group of people from the road this morning? ”
Vladimir nodded. “I think it’s the same group of people.”
They had been escaping all day, and thought that they had gotten rid of those people, but they were actually waiting to ambush them here.
The middle-aged driver murmured, “These people are pretty smart… They knew that we needed gas, so they calculated the distance and waited for us at the gas station here.” Suddenly remembering Gu Nianzhi, who was still in the car, he quickly stuck his head out and knocked on the window.
In confusion, Gu Nianzhi looked at him from inside the car.
“Get down quickly! They’re chasing us again! It’s even more unsafe in the car if there’s a gunfight at a gas station! ” The middle-aged driver desperately gestured at Gu Nianzhi and mouthed.
If there was an explosion at the gas station, their jeep would definitely be engulfed in flames.
Gu Nianzhi immediately understood and remembered Huo Shaoheng, who had gone to the convenience store because she wanted hot chocolate.
Her heart skipped a beat, and Gu Nianzhi almost jumped out of the car. “Where’s Major General Huo?!”
The middle-aged driver silently pointed in the direction of the convenience store.
Gu Nianzhi turned and looked around the outside of the convenience store under the mottled moonlight. The store was brightly lit, but where were the people?
“They’re hiding, but don’t worry, Major General Huo is fine. ” The middle-aged driver gently comforted her and pulled her to hide behind him.
The middle-aged driver, who was short and broad like a bear, was able to block three people of Gu Nianzhi’s size. Of course, it was safe to hide behind him.
Gu Nianzhi was worried about Huo Shaoheng, so she said anxiously, “I’ll call him back. Let’s go quickly! Is the car’s fuel tank full yet?”
“Almost, almost. ” Vladimir whispered, “But even if we leave, they won’t let us go.”
“We escaped this morning. We’ve been escaping for a day and night, but they’ve been chasing us all this time. So do you think continuing to escape will work? ”
Gu Nianzhi was speechless, but she couldn’t remain indifferent and watch Huo Shaoheng fall in danger.
Her mind raced as her gaze fell on the luggage in the back of the jeep.
She and Huo Shaoheng each had a gun.
Huo Shaoheng had said that he had a gun, but it was in the luggage and he hadn’t brought it with him.
But she remembered that she hadn’t seen anything that looked like a gun in Huo Shaoheng’s suitcase.
If Huo Shaoheng hadn’t lied, then he probably brought spare parts that could be used to a.s.semble the gun!
Gu Nianzhi gestured to the driver to open the back door.
The driver didn’t understand and simply looked at her in confusion.
Gu Nianzhi was about to explain, but Huo Shaoheng had already backed away.
Sounding like beans being fried, a series of gunshots rang out in the quiet night sky.
Gu Nianzhi stuck her head out and saw Huo Shaoheng, zig-zagging like lightning under the moonlight, running at lightning speed. In the blink of an eye, he was beside her and the chauffeur.
Huo Shaoheng didn’t say anything. He pulled open the trunk with one hand and took his luggage down.
With the bullet-proof jeep blocking the way, Huo Shaoheng opened his luggage and took out the parts he had put in the luggage. He quickly a.s.sembled them.
In less than ten seconds, a miniature sub-machine gun with an infrared night vision scope was born in Huo Shaoheng’s hands.
Vladimir saw it and held it in for a long time before saying, “It’s illegal for foreigners to carry guns in our country. ”
“Stop It. Just pretend you didn’t see it.” Gu Nianzhi retorted curtly, “Do you have these guns?”
Gu Nianzhi’s gaze swept past the small pistols in the hands of the two KGB officers.
They were both semi-automatic weapons, and their firepower was definitely superior to their small pistols.
The driver closed his eyes and muttered, “I didn’t see anything… I didn’t see anything… ”
Vladimir: ” … ”
Gu Nianzhi continued, “If Huo Shao didn’t have a gun, would we have been able to defeat those bandits? ”
The driver widened his eyes. “How do you know they’re bandits?”
“Since they dared to attack the KGB’s car, how could they be regular soldiers?” Gu Nianzhi scoffed.
Vladimir rubbed his nose and glared at the driver.
Huo Shaoheng held a gun in one hand and a bullet in the other. He had picked it up in front of the convenience store earlier. He said to the two KGB officers, “Pay attention their tactics and strategies, as well as the weapons and bullets they used. They are probably members of the Russian Mafia. ”
Vladimir and the driver’s expressions changed drastically at the same time. “Are you sure?!”
The Russian mafia was a special gang that was notorious throughout the Blue Planet.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the government’s control over the country fell to its lowest point.
It was at this time that the Russian mafia came into being and filled the power gap.
At the beginning of their development, they were different from the small-scale gangs of other countries.
Their starting point was very high.
Because they started by smuggling weapons.
When the Soviet Union collapsed, many satellite nations lost their governments to anarchy overnight.
Who knows how many weapons ended up in their hands.
From small AK-47 a.s.sault rifles, RGP-7 Bazookas, to large T-34 tanks, mig-15 fighters, to strategic weapons Katyusha Bazookas, even nuclear materials and small nuclear bombs were taken out by them and sold all over the Blue Planet.
The weapons of the former Soviet Union were excellent, resistant, and especially lethal.
It could be said that after the Russian mafia entered the modern stage of history, the firepower of the entire Blue Planet’s Mafia had risen to a unrpecedented level.
Relying on the powerful Soviet weapons that could rival the regular army, many of the mafia bosses in small countries had even entered the political scene and become national leaders.
However, all of this had become history after President Pus.h.i.+n came to power.
President Pus.h.i.+n was a famous iron-fisted ruthless politician, and he was once the commander-in-chief of the KGB.
With his help and the backing of the strongest KGB in history, the Russian mafia was smashed into pieces overnight, and they were no longer as influential as before.
Not long ago, Russia had confiscated all the weapons of the Russian Mafia. The guns and ammunition that had piled up into a small hill had awed the Russian population.
“How dare they attack the KGB?! Are they hoping that we’ll surround them again?” Vladimir cursed in a low voice.
Huo Shaoheng didn’t reply. He turned around and leaned against the body of the jeep. He raised his gun and aimed at the convenience store. With a bang, he shot out the incandescent light at the entrance of the convenience store!
Then he aimed at the wires that had been pulled out from the roof of the convenience store.
Bang!
With a gunshot, a few sparks flew from the wires, and the entire convenience store fell into darkness.
Huo Shaoheng had shot out the wires.
The driver was so shocked that his eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.
He stammered, “This, this, this… This is a gas station! You’re going to cause a big explosion!”
If even the slightest spark landed in the tank, they would all be finished!
“I know what I’m doing.” Huo Shaoheng didn’t even raise his head. He looked through the infrared night vision scope. In the cross-shaped scope, a few figures gradually appeared.
“They’re out. Get in the car and get ready to leave.” Huo Shaoheng waved his hand. He had become the leader of the four of them.
Even Vladimir couldn’t help but obey his orders.
The driver went around the back of the car and quickly pulled the gas gun out of the jeep’s refueling hole. He put it back in place, sealed it, and hung it up.
Just as he backed into the car and was about to open the door to get in, there was a loud bang. The jeep in front of them jumped, and then the entire car tilted down.
One of the tires had been blown out.
The car with only three wheels left obviously couldn’t drive away.
Huo Shaoheng made a prompt decision. He took Gu Nianzhi’s luggage out of the car and stuffed both suitcases into Gu Nianzhi’s hands. He said calmly, “Drag them. Use them as s.h.i.+elds if necessary.”
With one suitcase in each hand, Gu Nianzhi nodded and stood behind Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng said to Vladimir and the driver in Russian, “Let’s split up and meet up at the three o’clock direction of the Birch forest ahead. We’ll see who they’re going after.”
If they were going after the KGB, then they wouldn’t follow Huo Shaoheng and the others.
If they were going after Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi, then Vladimir and the driver would be able to escape and find reinforcements.
