Siheyuan: Survival Guide for Courtyard No. 95

Seeing that the guards who were blocking her progress had been eliminated, the deaf old lady threw her Garand rifle to the enemy spy behind her and walked into the military workshop first.

Although it was lunch time, there were still a few technicians working in shifts inside. The deaf old lady asked her men to bring these people to her, took out her pistol and loaded it with a "click".

"Where are the steel plate samples and data of the warship? The first one to tell will live."

These technicians had no anti-espionage training, and their legs were trembling when the black muzzle of the gun was pointed at them. This was not a movie scene, and bullets could really kill people.

In this depressing atmosphere, a middle-aged man wearing glasses was the first to be unable to bear the pressure and raised his hand to speak to the deaf old lady.

"I know where what you want is, but you have to keep my life safe."

As soon as the man with glasses finished speaking, another younger female technician pointed at him and started cursing.

"Sun Wei, you can't do this. These people are obviously enemy spies from across the sea. If they get the key data, it will be a disaster.

You are betraying your country."

When Sun Wei heard the female technician's accusation, he hesitated for a moment, but the deaf old lady did not give him the right to choose.

With a "bang" of a gunshot, the female technician was shot and fell to the ground. A large amount of blood could be seen flowing from the wound.

"I don't have time to discuss patriotism with you. I need the samples and data right now. Can you give them to me?"

After the deaf old lady beat the female technician to death, she pointed the gun at Sun Wei. She was in a hurry. When the gunshots were heard outside just now, even if there were not many security personnel in the factory, they could not withstand the large number of troops outside the factory.

As I said, if gunshots were heard in Sijiu City, it would be no small matter. It wouldn’t take long for the troops to blockade the entire steel mill.

"Yes, yes, I'll take you there now."

Sun Wei looked at the dead female technician and didn't want to say anything more. He knew that if he continued talking nonsense, he might harm other colleagues as well.

He took the deaf old lady into an office inside the workshop and pointed to an upright safe.

"Everything you want is in this cabinet, but only the workshop director has the key. If he's not here, it can't be opened."

The deaf old lady showed a mocking expression and turned to speak to an enemy spy behind her.

"Old Eight, it's your turn to work."

As the deaf old lady finished her words, an enemy spy walked over from behind. Although this man was also wearing a security uniform, his face was full of fat and anyone who saw him would feel that he was not a good person.

The most prominent feature is that this man has a healthy right hand but only three fingers on his left hand. Perhaps this is why he is called Lao Ba.

Lao Ba looked up and down at the safe and said to the deaf old lady.

“This safe is a ’58 model, and I can open it in two minutes.

It seems that this steel mill is not good enough. They don’t even need the latest safe for such important things.”

"That's convenient for us, don't waste time, get to work.

The troops in Sijiucheng will blockade the steel mill in 10 minutes at most after the gunfire. We don’t have much time left.”

This time, Lao Ba didn't reply. Instead, he took out the prepared tools from his pocket and opened the combination lock of the safe in less than two minutes.

"Which one is the steel plate sample? Which one is the data?"

The gun was pointed at Sun Wei again, followed by the deaf old lady's cold words.

There are hundreds of data books and dozens of steel plate samples in the safe. If she were asked to find them herself, she would probably be shot dead by the People's Liberation Army and might not even find them.

Otherwise, why is it said that the strongest castles are breached from the inside?

With the traitor Sun Wei, the old lady easily got what she wanted.

"Are you sure these two are the steel plate sample and data?"

"I swear, this is what you wanted."

"Very well, then...bye."

After a few gunshots, several technicians in the military workshop, including Sun Wei, were killed by enemy spies. The deaf old lady never considered leaving any of them alive. She would not let go of anyone who had seen her in the steel mill.

"The work is done, let's go."

It was still the deaf old lady who took the lead in leaving the military workshop. The enemy spies got on the truck and drove towards the back door of the factory. Seeing that the back door of the steel mill was in front of them, the enemy spies who thought victory was in sight were caught up by the patrol team of the steel mill.

"Bang, bang" the unique gunshot of the Type 38 rifle rang out on the left side of the truck. Fortunately, it was too far away and the vehicle was moving, so the driver was not hit. However, it did scare the enemy spies.

This is also the sadness of the patrol team. The armory of the Security Department clearly has mortars, but the patrol team is patrolling in the factory and thinks there is no danger, so they only bring a few Arisaka rifles and a submachine gun.

There is no need to mention the range of the submachine gun. The Arisaka rifle has been in use for too long. It is fine for scaring petty thieves in normal times, but it can only be a psychological comfort when encountering real enemy spies.

On the contrary, the enemy spies were more fully prepared, with Garand rifles, submachine guns, and light machine guns. Their firepower was so strong that the patrolling troops didn't even dare to raise their heads.

When the truck arrived at the factory gate and picked up two fake sentries, it drove madly towards Tongzhou.

On the other side, Cui Dake put drugs in the food, then slipped out of the third canteen on the pretext of having a stomachache, and rode out of the steel mill in one breath on the bicycle he had rented from the third uncle for fifty cents in the morning.

The factory was some distance away from Yongdingmen, and by the time he arrived at the agreed location, half an hour had passed.

This is a dilapidated temple, which was originally one of the black markets in the old city. However, after the black market was cracked down in October, almost no one came here.

Cui Dake rode his bike to the entrance of the temple, looked around, but didn't see the car that would take him away. Just as he was wondering if he had come to the wrong place, he saw a man walking out of the temple.

"Dake, you're here."

When Cui Dake heard the voice, he felt it was very familiar. Who else could it be but Xu Wude, whom he had just met?

"Boss Xu, why are you here to pick me up? Where's the car?"

"Yes, the boss asked me to take you on your way. As for the car, I will burn it for you later."

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!"

With an American Iai move, Xu Wude emptied the magazine of the Continental pistol in his hand, and walked over to take a look at Cui Dake, who was already dead.

"You are such a loser, and you still want to go to the other side of the sea? What good things are you thinking? Do you really think that anyone can go across?"

This is also the ruthlessness of Lou Bancheng. For those who are of no use to him, he will give them up immediately. Keeping them would still be a hidden danger, only because Cui Dake knows too much.

Xu Wude rode the bicycle that Cui Dake had ridden and came to Ciqikou, the place he and Lou Bancheng had agreed to meet. Lou Bancheng had told him long ago that he would take him across the sea after this matter was settled.

He thought that with the financial resources of the Lou family, and the fact that Damao was the son-in-law of the Lou family, wouldn't it be a thousand times better for him to cross the sea and enter the capital world than to live in the old city?

But he thought too much.
