Swallowing the Seas

The next day, Qilongtang was deep in the mountains.

"That's--it's here, fellow leaders." The policeman from the town police station climbed up the slope with difficulty, holding his knees out of breath: "The valley ahead is--all abandoned mine pits, about six or seven, eight —About eight or nine hundred acres.”

Yang Chengdong was grabbing the rope with one hand and the stone with the other, trying his best to climb up the steep cliff of nearly [-] degrees. Hearing this, his eyes went dark and he almost didn't fall off.

Fortunately, a strong hand stretched out from the top of his head at this time, pulling him like lightning, almost dragging him up—it was Bu Chonghua.

"Huh, huh, huh..." Yang Chengdong lay on the weedy ground panting for a long time, then stood up with weak feet and gave a thumbs up: "Brother Bu, you are really a strong man!"

Bu Chonghua's police jacket and tactical boots were covered with dead branches and mud like everyone else, and he couldn't help panting. He wiped his sweat without saying a word and stood up.

More than a dozen criminal police climbed up the cliff one after another, and saw a long and desolate valley in winter in front of them. The vegetation at the bottom of the valley concealed several huge pits, arranged in depth, and the exposed rocks almost formed vertical cliffs, like countless cracks dotted across the earth.

Looking to the south, the mine pit is backed by a lush virgin forest, and there is no human habitation at all. The towering giant mountain stands under the gray sky, and the end can't be seen at a glance.

"..." Yang Chengdong's lips trembled for a while, and he expressed his feelings simply and rudely: "Fuck!"

"This used to be a mining site, which was abandoned about three or four years ago. Many mines have accumulated water and even pools at the bottom. The terrain is complex and inaccessible. The nearest village is about tens of miles away." The policeman from the town police station led the way to the far Chu Yi pointed: "The forest resources on the top of the mountain over there haven't been developed yet, even hunting and gathering herbs are rarely there. If you commit a crime and go to the deep mountains and old forests, hey! No one may be able to find it in more than ten years! "

"Why is the surname Wan so good at finding a place?" Yang Chengdong was going crazy: "I said, can these drug manufacturers and drug dealers stop poaching in the deep mountains and old forests all day long? Tianwo is in this broken place where even ordering a takeaway has to go over mountains and mountains, what is the purpose of earning so much money?!"

These words literally spoke out the hearts of everyone, even the captain of the SWAT team in the distance was speechless.

"The terrain of the mine is hidden, and because it is very deep, the smoke generated during the poisoning process will not be discovered by the surrounding villagers, and the waste water can also be directly discharged into the mine." Bu Chonghua put down the binoculars, and said in a deep voice, "There must be a road nearby. Otherwise, the model of Wan Changwen's production equipment can never be transported in by human horses, but we haven't found it yet. ——Old Wang!"

SWAT Captain: "Hey!"

"Report to the command center. While continuing to question Wan Changwen, we must immediately launch a comprehensive search. We must find the drug production den before the target enters the mountain, and fully ambush and deploy control!"

"Yes!"

Captain Wang left in a hurry, and Yang Chengdong was so worried that he couldn't help asking: "...Is there still time?"

Wan Changwen only said that it was in the mine in the valley, but he didn't say that the mine was so big, and the complicated and rugged terrain made the search extremely difficult.Large-scale searches are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and even an extra minute of delay is an extra risk.

It has been four and a half days since Qin Chuan escaped with the shark. No one knows where the drug lord's convoy is now. If he has a detailed road map in his hand, he is likely to find the drug factory before the police !

"..." Bu Chonghua pressed his eyebrows tightly, and said in a low voice, "It would be great if I could contact Wu Yu."

Yang Chengdong looked at his dejected back, and his heart moved slightly: "Hey, yes, I don't know if Xiao Wu is still safe... let's talk about brother step."

"What?"

Yang Chengdong glanced to the left and right, and couldn't help asking: "I heard you chatting with Bureau Song the other day, are you and Xiao Wu really that...that Brokeback Mountain?"

Bu Chonghua turned his face sideways, his amber inorganic eyes stared fixedly at him.

"It's okay, it's okay, although I don't like you, Xiao Wu is a real man, I just wish and pray for you two." Yang Chengdong patted Bu Chonghua on the shoulder vigorously: "You only married a wife at such an old age , God will bless you both, don't worry!"

Bu Chonghua pulled the corners of his mouth reluctantly, although there was no smile: "You are the first one to realize that she is my wife, thank you."

Yang Chengdong: "You're welcome! My original intention is that the family is better-looking than you!"

Bu Chonghua shook his head with a wry smile, turned around and walked down the steep slope.

At this time, criminal police, special police, anti-drug, technical investigation and other combat units are gathering in the deep mountains here. disappeared.

Bu Chonghua narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

"Hey, I'm sorry." He casually summoned the local police who led the way just now, and asked, "Is it going to snow for you?"

"—Oh, it's true, the weather forecast didn't say anything last night." The policeman looked at the sky in the direction of his finger, and sniffed his nose to smell it carefully: "This smell has already risen, and the snow will probably fall tonight." , you have to tell them to hurry up."

"..."

The policeman waved his hand cautiously: "Leader?"

Bu Chonghua turned a deaf ear and stared blankly at the sky, as if he suddenly caught something——

It's going to snow in the mountains.

A few fragmented images flashed in his brain that was running at high speed all the time: the dark night at the pier four days ago, pointing a gun at the drug dealer who "asked" him to get in the car, the bright headlights and the asphalt road, splashing while galloping Splashing dirt bike tires...

tire.

Memory is like an image retriever, expanding and expanding the frozen picture in his mind, until every detail is clearly visible, a bright light suddenly flashed in Bu Chonghua's mind!

"...I thought of a way to track them down."

Just as Yang Chengdong caught up, he was stunned when he heard the words: "What? What are you chasing? What can I do?!"

Bu Chonghua didn't bother to answer, turned around and grabbed the local policeman, and asked, "Are there any places in your town that sell rubber nail tires?"

"..." The policeman was puzzled: "Nail tire?"

——Fluff!

A flock of birds in the distance flitted across the sky and disappeared under the leaden sky. Wu Yu looked away and ate his meal.

On the side of the road on the outskirts of Pitang Town, several off-road vehicles that had just been filled with gas formed a circle and were making final preparations before entering the mountain.Wu Yu was sitting by the open door of a car, intentionally or unintentionally putting aside a few pieces of braised pork in the box lunch, and only scrambled tofu mixed with rice grains, when suddenly the voice of a shark smiling came from above his head:

"Why don't you eat meat? Is it not in your taste?"

Wu Yu paused for a moment, then said with a raised tone: "No?"

His tone was very ordinary, Shark sat down with his trousers lifted, and said casually: "Actually, it's nothing, but I suddenly remembered that when I first met you, you also picked out the meat from the fried rice and fed it to the cat. Thought you were a vegetarian."

Wu Yu laughed and said, "No."

Shark nodded, seeming to find it very interesting, and suddenly said: "I heard a rumor when I went to 'visit' your hometown before, and I don't know if it's true."

"What rumor?"

"About the late 80s, when the Mongolian and Thai Army was expanding rapidly in your Shan State, the Burmese government sent troops to encircle and suppress them. However, due to the disparity in strength, they were hit on the head by Kun Sha, and a latest mortar used to blow up government troops. A trench. Many soldiers were seriously injured and were secretly carried back from the battlefield by local villagers for treatment. Many died of serious injuries, and some survived by luck."

Wu Yu sat there motionless, only he knew that his hands were trembling slightly.

"When Kunsha learned about it, he knew that it was the local people's dissatisfaction and resistance to his rule, so he decided to use it to show his prestige. He asked people to go to various villages to find those soldiers who were hidden. After finding them, he boiled a pot of water and put People who were still screaming were put in, and the villagers who participated in the hiding were asked to line up and hold bowls..."

"Really?" Wu Yu said quietly, "Is there such a thing?"

He met the eyes of the drug lord, at such a distance that he couldn't hide even the slightest expression change on his face. Shark looked deeply at the pair of black and white eyes in front of him, smiled and said: "Yes, it is said that many people will form a lifelong relationship from now on. After all, the vast majority of people in this world have a sense of morality and justice, and are willing to stick to their inner principles... What do you think? You must have been very young at the time, right?"

Wu Yu hummed: "It should."

Not far away were bodyguards with guns walking around, several people gathered together to look at the satellite map, and the sharp north wind swept through the crowd towards the mountains.

Time seemed to stand still for a long time, and the shark's eyes fell on the pieces of meat in Wu Yu's lunch box, but it was only frozen for a moment.

"What a tragedy." Wu Yu picked up a piece of meat, lowered his eyes and said, "Fortunately, I don't have much memory."

The shark's eyes fell on his chopsticks, and saw him put the piece of braised pork into his mouth, chew it slowly for about ten times, and then swallowed it down his throat.

Wu Yu's line from chin to neck was smooth and slender, and his Adam's apple slipped with the movement of swallowing, and the light blue blood vessels could be faintly seen submerging into the collarbone.Shark Gray's pupils dilated imperceptibly, staring carefully at his every movement and even every reaction, as if he could cut open the skin, muscles and bones of the person in front of him until he saw the piece of meat slide down the esophagus into the stomach.

He finally laughed for real, with an indescribable brilliance shining in his eyes.

"It's a good thing that you don't have any impression." He stood up with such a smile, and he didn't know whether it was joy or encouragement in his tone: "Eat slowly, we will set off for the mountain after we finish resting."

Shark turned and walked towards the crowd, when suddenly he heard behind him: "Mr. Phillip!"

"how?"

When he turned his head, he saw Wu Yu signaling to the sky: "It's going to snow."

The lead gray clouds that were only on the horizon just now have spread out, forming a continuous cloud belt, pressing down on the top of people's heads.The wind speed and air flow became unstable, and the branches in the distance were blowing wildly. The originally icy temperature seemed to be not so cold suddenly.

The shark's expression changed suddenly, and he suddenly looked at each off-road tire!

Wu Yu finished eating in two or three bites, then handed the empty box to the passing bodyguards, stepped forward and half-kneeled by the side of the car tire and pinched it skillfully: "No, it's already hard, you have to change the tire."

The bodyguard was at a loss: "The last time we changed tires was when we first arrived in North China..."

"Have you stayed in Mexico for too long? Once it snows in the mountains of North China in winter, ordinary winter tires are not enough, and rubber studs must be inlaid, otherwise such difficult mountain roads will be too dangerous. Is there still time?"

Shark looked at his watch, then turned his head to look in the direction of Pitang Town, a little hesitant.

"No, you have to change the stud tires. The weight of the car is heavy, and if it slips in the deep mountains, the front and rear cars will be hit by the car. You can't take this risk!" Wu Yu patted the tires and said firmly: "Drive the car one by one. It’s too late to go into the town to change the tires, you have to ask someone to go to the auto repair shop in the town to buy tires, and we can change them ourselves, at most an hour, there’s still time!”

In the distance, Ken quickly checked the latest satellite cloud image on his tablet, and quickly stepped forward to show the shark, their expressions changed slightly at the same time.

Wu Yu was right, it was indeed going to snow.The climate change in the deep mountains and old forests of North China is not like that of Mexico City. If it slips at night, the consequences will be disastrous!

"Go for two cars, don't buy them from the same place." Shark finally made a decision in a low voice: "Don't aim too big, buy between fifteen and twenty, and ship them back and install them ourselves."

"understand!"

A Ken quickly pointed to two or three people, and was about to get into two cars separately, but Wu Yu said at this moment: "Let Boss Qin go with you, he is familiar."

Not far from the open space, Qin Chuan was eating, and was taken aback when he heard this.

In fact, he should be allowed to go. Although Qin Chuan is not a northerner, he has at least lived in the north, and it is easier to sneak into the urban crowd than these foreign bodyguards.However, the shark's eyes fell on Qin Chuan, but he narrowed his eyes slightly, and he didn't know what thought he had in an instant:

"It's better to be a painter."

Wu Yu didn't realize it, as if he didn't know why he didn't trust Qin Chuan so much suddenly, and was a little dazed.

"The two of you go with the artist." Without further explanation, Shark ordered Ken and another confidant, and said with a nonchalant smile, "Although the arrests from the Jinhai police may not necessarily reach this small town, you still have to Be careful, don't let the painter contact too many people, and you must go and return quickly."

"Yes!"

Ken made a gesture of please, and Wu Yu was quite inexplicable, but as usual, he didn't ask too much, just nodded and got on the car.

"..."

Not far away, Qin Chuan watched his back, snorted almost silently in his nasal cavity, lowered his head and continued to eat his food.

Pitang Town is a mining town, so it gets deserted as the year approaches, especially when the heavy snowfall is approaching, the streets are even more gray and desolate.The off-road vehicle drove past the intersection, and Wu Yu's gaze fell on the public telephone booth by the side of the road, but there was no expression on his face, and he looked away in an instant.

"—The total price is [-] yuan, and you two want it today?"

"I want it now." With a Jinhai accent, Wu Yu looked around this dazzling store: "Do you have a sample? Bring it to us to have a look. If there is no problem, we can take it home and change it ourselves."

There are only a few auto repair shops and tire shops in the town, and this shop facing the street is already the largest one.The boss was sitting in the store digging his feet, looking like he was planning to close the store early and go home for a drink, but unexpectedly, a business came to him, and he couldn't help but smile: "Okay! Okay! Just wait, I'll go to the warehouse behind to get you some Come back with a sample!"

"Hey wait." Wu Yu suddenly asked, "Do you have a bathroom?"

The boss said: "Yes, go to the back of the warehouse!"

"Then I'll go and make it easier, I drank too much water."

The boss didn't take it seriously and motioned him to come with him.Unexpectedly, as soon as Wu Yu moved his footsteps, Ken, who was closely behind him, also moved: "I will go too."

Wu Yu's eyebrows twitched imperceptibly.

But before he had time to say anything, the boss stopped in his tracks with a look of embarrassment on his face, and made an apologetic smile at Ken: "Ah? Handsome, why don't you wait?"

"why?"

"There is a hole behind me, and no one will look at my shop when you go in, so help me guard for a while. If someone comes in, you can help me out. The boss is shifting goods in the warehouse behind, and he will be back in a few minutes!"

When Ken hesitated, Wu Yu conveniently handed him the mobile phone that the shark had given him: "Wait for me." Then he walked back.

Ken didn't want to attract any attention or suspicion, and seeing Wu Yu take the initiative to stuff the phone over, he hesitated and stopped in his tracks - at that moment, Wu Yu had already followed the boss wrapped in a lamb wool padded jacket into the back Tang, disappeared behind the small aisle door leading to the warehouse.

click!

As soon as the door was closed, the smile on the boss's face disappeared immediately, and he quickly walked a few steps into the depths of the warehouse alertly, and at the same time stretched out his hand to pull Wu Yu: "You..."

"Where's the bathroom?" Wu Yu raised his hand to block the boss, and if he looked carefully, he finally found a look of pain on his face.

The "boss" didn't expect that he really wanted to use the bathroom, so he was dumbfounded, and hurriedly led him to open another door: "This is right here, you are..."

Before the words finished, Wu Yu stepped forward and bent down, pinched his throat with one hand and put one hand into his mouth, and immediately said, "Ugh!——"

This spit was overwhelming, at first he was able to stand still, but in the end he could only support his elbows on the edge of the toilet, almost smashing his entire stomach and spraying it out of his throat.

So I can't help it, he thought drowsily.

So cowardly.

"...After you find it, ask someone to boil a large pot of water, put the screaming people in it, and let all the villagers who participated in the hiding line up, holding bowls..."

Undigested food gushed out and was flushed away by the toilet, and then wave after wave of gastric juice mixed with bile was vomited out, and finally it was water with traces of blood.

"It is said that many people will form a lifetime of psychological shadows. After all, the vast majority of people in this world have a sense of morality and justice, and are willing to stick to their inner principles..."

Obviously he has no sense of taste, but the base of his tongue has a sticky and bitter feeling, as if he wants to spit out all the suffering, resentment, sin and filth accumulated in the body together with blood, and eventually even the internal organs are all gone. Turned into blood and vomited cleanly, there was nothing left in this body.

——I'm too cowardly, I can't hide it, I can't restrain it, I'm too scared.

Really too scared.

Footsteps and human voices seemed to be heard behind him, but Wu Yu couldn't even stand up because of the drowsiness and convulsions.He buried his head, trembling violently and raised his hand to press the flush button. The next moment, someone had already pressed it for him, and then a warm and firm hand forcibly supported him, hugged him in his arms, and wiped it with a hot towel. His distraught face.

"...It's okay, relax, it's okay..." As if in a dream, he heard the familiar voice repeating in his ears: "It's okay..."

Is this a hallucination?

Wu Yu kept trembling, his chest heaved violently, his distracted eyesight finally came into focus little by little, and he stared at the face so close in disbelief.

Bu Chonghua hugged him tightly in his arms from behind, his eyes were slightly red, his sharp and handsome chin pressed against his forehead, and he kept stroking his temples soaked in cold sweat with his thin lips.

"It's okay, don't be afraid." He whispered hoarsely next to Wu Yu's ear, every word was trembling and gentle: "I'm chasing you."
