Judging from the brightness, it must be a very large fire to cause it to be so bright.
Could it be that something happened to SG?
Hasselblad wanted to drive over, but Li Zheng stopped him.
"It's only fifty meters away. I think we'd better walk there. You guys wait here, lest you get to the gate and wait for a long time but it doesn't open. The target will be too big."
Li Zheng's concerns are correct.
Because it must be a main road there, the two cars just drove there rashly without worrying about whether they would encounter anything on the way. If they got to the door and couldn't open it for the time being, they would be easily discovered by people if they parked at the door and made a fuss for a long time.
It doesn't matter whether it's coming over for an interrogation or scanning you, it's not cost-effective.
With such a short distance, it is easier for people to walk there, and it is safer for cars to stay in this small alley and hide in the dark.
After saying that, Li Zheng took the initiative to get out of the car.
Hasselblad said: "I am familiar with this place, I will take you there."
He called to Armani: "You get to the driver's seat in front, and I'll go with them to see what's going on."
"no problem."
Armani responded happily.
Li Zheng came to the car behind and explained the situation and his thoughts.
Zhang Jian thought it made sense and said: "Okay, let's do it like this. Go over first to see what's going on. After entering, we will notify the vehicle to come over. Just open the door and go straight in. Don't delay outside. To be honest, I understand this journey clearly.
,Nowhere is safe here.”
So he said to Chen Haoran: "Secretary Chen, please stay in the car. We will inform you through the radio later. You follow the car in front. His car is bulletproof. Open the road in front. When we get to the gate, we will open it."
Door, you have to go in quickly."
Secretary Chen seemed a little nervous: "Okay... you have to be careful."
"rest assured."
After Zhang Jian finished speaking, he also got out of the car.
Qiangyong followed.
The three of them checked the ammunition next to the car, loaded it, and held it in their hands. If they encountered any unexpected situation, they could only rely on this thing to save their lives.
In such places with many buildings, the pistol will work better.
"Let's go!"
Li Zheng motioned to Hasselblad to lead the way.
Hasselblad turned around and pointed towards a narrower passage on the side of the alley and said: "Go here, pass through these buildings, and you will reach the wall of your SG. If there is no fire there, I think you can contact us there.
Check with the people inside and ask them to let you in at a side door or something."
"good!"
Several people followed Hasselblad and walked into the darkness.
The night vision goggles were turned on and everything was very clear.
These passages are very narrow and are narrow alleys between buildings, similar to those in urban villages.
Hasselblad is really familiar with the terrain here. He actually walked without stopping at night, leading several people around here and there.
Suddenly, the Hasselblad in front stopped.
Several people quickly pressed against the wall to hide themselves.
Li Zheng looked forward cautiously and heard rustling footsteps coming from the alley on the left.
Here, everything is worthy of vigilance.
No one knows whether an armed militant with a gun will suddenly appear from the darkness.
When everyone saw the owner of the footsteps, they burst into laughter.
It was an old man carrying a bucket directly to a well next to the alley, where he tied a rope and dropped the bucket...
He is fetching water.
Li Zheng looked at his watch.
It's already 1:20 in the morning.
It is obviously not safe to go out to fetch water at this time during the day.
And he's still an old man.
Maybe the young man ran away long ago.
Maybe it’s the elders in the family who are more willing to step forward to fetch water.
Because they are older, they would rather have something happen to themselves than to their children.
Li Zheng patted Hasselblad on the shoulder and motioned for him to continue on his way.
Hasselblad didn't say anything, and they walked forward along the wall.
When he passed by the old man, he seemed to notice something and suddenly turned around to look at Li Zheng and others.
By the light of the fire, he saw the guns in the hands of Li Zheng and others, and was startled. He lost his grip on the barrel and fell to the ground with a clang.
In the dark and silent night, the sound of the tin bucket falling to the ground was so harsh.
Li Zheng and others were also surprised.
He quickly raised his index finger and put it to his lips, making a silencing gesture.
"Shh-"
Sign language is used all over the world.
The old man saw Li Zheng's actions and understood them.
Moreover, he also saw clearly that Li Zheng and the others were not locals.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that these people did not have any ill intentions towards him, so he bowed to express his friendliness.
Li Zheng also nodded, and the others quickly left.
Although it was just a small episode at a distance of fifty meters, Li Zheng couldn't calm down for some reason.
The old man's panicked movements were deeply etched in Li Zheng's mind.
If Li Zheng had not been a soldier and had not had so many missions, he might have sat in a classroom at Tunghai University, studying quietly, then graduated, married Shao Xiaoqian, had children, and lived an ordinary life.
He has no idea that the world is actually not peaceful, and there are wars everywhere. Perhaps he cannot even imagine what kind of life the people in war-torn countries live.
Maybe……
Stability, peace, and stability, things that have long been taken for granted like the air, will not feel so valuable at this moment.
That's right.
Living in a large and stable country, no one thinks that peace is so precious.
Only those who have lost peace and stability, and only those who are caught in the flames of war, know that they would rather spend all their wealth in exchange for peace and stability.
Soon, the group arrived at their destination.
Across the front is a wall that is actually not very high, with barbed wire hanging on the wall.
Zhang Jian began to contact the evacuation team within SG.
Soon, news came from over there.
Hearing Zhang Jian's voice, the team leader Lin Yue stuttered with excitement.
"You...you are here...by the east wall? No...no no no, you go north along the wall and go around to the back. There is a small back door there. I will wait for you there. That's great.
It’s over! You’re finally here! We’re okay…it’s okay…it’s the palace on fire next to it, yes, yes, yes, come here, I’ll wait for you at the door..."
It can be seen how much pressure the leader Lin Yue of the left-behind team is under.
Everyone withdrew.
This is the last group of more than 20 people left.
I came in but couldn't get out, I was trapped in SG, hiding in the basement waiting for news.
It has been two full days now.
I really don’t know how they endured these two days.
Walk north along the wall and finally come to the back door.
Zhang Jian stepped forward and knocked three times.
A small window on the iron door opened halfway in a snap.
A small half of his face was exposed inside, with a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, and he cautiously looked at the people outside the door through the small window.
"Team Leader Lin, we are from the Jiaolong Commando. Open the door."
Hearing that it belonged to Jiaolong, Lin Yue no longer hesitated and opened the door violently.
"So nice to meet you!"
He was so excited that he stretched out his hand, took Zhang Jian's hands, squeezed them tightly, and shook them violently several times.
From Lin Yue's perspective, this was finally hope.
