Chapter 902 The house leaked and it rained all night
According to the original plan, everyone in the basement safe room would be evacuated within 40 minutes.
Then Hassu served as the guide and planned a safe route to Aden based on the latest information obtained.
Unexpectedly, before setting off, we encountered a problem.
Li Zheng and Qiang Yong went to the ground and went to the garage. As soon as they entered, they saw Zhang Jian squatting in front of the minibus engine with a sad look on his face.
The hood was lifted, exposing the entire engine.
As soon as he entered the garage, Li Zheng smelled a strong smell of gasoline and couldn't help but frown.
Engine problem?
This was the first thought that flashed through his mind.
"What's wrong?"
Li Zheng pointed at the engine.
Zhang Jian said: "The engine was damaged."
Li Zheng was a little surprised.
Because this garage is enclosed, there is a rolling shutter in front and it is closed.
Why was it damaged?
He went over and squatted down. Zhang Jian pointed to an oil pipe and said, "Look here."
Li Zheng took out his tactical flashlight and shined a light on the location mentioned by Zhang Jian.
Sure enough, he saw that one of the oil pipes was deformed and disconnected from the middle, and a clear dent was left on the rear engine casing, which was obviously the result of being hit by shrapnel or stray bullets.
"This thing..."
Li Zheng reached out and touched the oil pipe.
He also felt embarrassed.
The oil pipe is a small thing, but if it breaks, the car will not be able to drive.
As long as the engine is started, the oil will squirt outward under the action of the oil pump and cannot be sent to the engine at all, so the car will not start.
In fact, it is very simple to repair it. The oil pipe is made of copper. As long as you have a welding gun, you can weld it and install it on the engine. The problem will be solved.
"Old Lin, do you have any welding guns in your shop?"
Lin Yuewei said: "No, if there is a problem with the car, it is usually repaired at a fixed repair station, but now it is in such a mess, who will open the door? Besides, if the car breaks down, how to drive it is a problem."
"grass!"
Li Zheng couldn't help but cursed.
No wonder.
The car placed in the garage can actually be hit by stray bullets fired from outside. It can hit anywhere, but it hits the engine...
This is really unlucky to say the least.
The incident of the broken car immediately cast a shadow over the entire evacuation operation.
"Old Lin, can you borrow another car now?" Zhang Jian asked, "I can even borrow a truck to make do."
Lin Yue said: "Normally, there is no problem. We know many companies here. It is easy to borrow a car. But in this situation..."
Having said this, he stood up and gritted his teeth and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go ask."
Lin Yue asked this question for more than ten minutes.
Ten minutes later, he came back dejectedly, shook his head and said to Zhang Jian: "There is no way, some people's phone calls can't be reached, and those who got through all said they left Sana'a, and some said their company had a car, so let us go by ourselves.
Ask their driver to get the key and then go to the company to pick up the car, but at this time, I'm afraid the driver has run away..."
The situation suddenly reached a deadlock.
Not long after, Hasselblad came over.
When I came in, I asked: "Why are you all here? Hurry up and organize people to board the train..."
Before he finished speaking, his nose twitched, he sniffed and said, "Why is there such a strong smell of gasoline?"
After reading it, I finally understood it.
"car broke down?"
"Yes." Zhang Jian didn't hide anything: "The oil pipe was hit by a stray bullet and broke."
After saying that, he raised the oil pipe in his hand.
Hasselblad went over to take it and took a look at it and said: "If you want to repair it, you must find a welding gun."
Li Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked: "Hasselblad, do you know of a repair shop or repairman here who can borrow a welding gun? We took the oil pipe and welded it to him, and then we brought it back and installed it.
The car can drive away."
Hasselblad was stunned, and then looked at Li Zheng like a monster: "At this time, are you still thinking about looking for maintenance workers on the street?"
Then he nodded again: "But the idea you mentioned is worth considering."
Li Zheng hurriedly asked: "Do you know this kind of maintenance worker?"
Hasselblad said: "Of course we know each other. I used to work in Sana'a, but I went to Bajil temporarily to take shelter during the war."
Li Zheng said: "Then what are you waiting for? Go now!"
After saying that, he took the oil pipe and took Hasselblad to leave.
Hasselblad hurriedly said: "Hey hey hey! Li, you are really impatient! Do you know what it means to go out now? The maintenance man I know is in the east of the city, where the fighting is the most intense. No one can guarantee safety!
"
"It's even more unsafe to stay here." Li Zheng said, "Do you have a better way?"
Hasselblad thought for a while, shook his head, and then smiled bitterly: "You are really a madman."
Then he smiled again and said: "But I like a lunatic like you, let's go, I'll go with you."
After saying that, the two of them turned to leave.
Zhang Jian said: "Let's go together too."
Hasselblad said: "Why are we going together? Is there really going to be an accident? You can stay here! I can go with him. We can already take care of each other. If something happens to us..."
He looked at his watch.
"If we haven't come back before four o'clock in the morning, you can find a way on your own."
Qiang Yong said to Zhang Jian: "He is right, it is not a good idea to go together. Someone needs to take care of us here."
Zhang Jian thought about it carefully and realized that he had indeed been impulsive before, so he said to Li Zheng: "Li Zheng, everything is up to you."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand.
Li Zheng was slightly startled and stretched out his hand.
The two held hands together.
Zhang Jian said: "I'm waiting for you to come back, don't let me down!"
Li Zheng said: "Don't worry, I am determined."
After saying that, he followed Hasselblad and left.
…
Sana'a is particularly deserted at two o'clock in the morning.
It looks like a dead city.
The occasional gunfire from different parts of the city reminded Li Zheng that this was a firefighting zone.
After walking for a while, you can see burning cars and buildings, reminding Li Zheng that this place is a purgatory.
The two drove Hasselblad's bulletproof off-road vehicle all the way to the east of the city.
Hasselblad told Li Zheng that it would take about 6 kilometers to go to the maintenance man's house he knew. It seemed not far, but he didn't know what interceptions he would encounter on the way. He told Li Zheng not to panic when something happened and let him solve it himself.
Li Zhenggang wanted to tell Hasselblad to reassure him that he was definitely a good partner.
Before he could speak, he suddenly heard a clang!
Then, out of the corner of his eye, Li Zheng saw a spider pattern on the front windshield of the off-road vehicle cracked.
"Shoot!"
He quickly drew his pistol, lowered his posture, and scanned the outside of the car warily.
Hasselblad didn't have time to see where the bullet came from. Once it was shot, it was either a stray bullet. The stray bullet was not interesting and could not find the shooting point;
Bullets mean that the other party regards you as the enemy. If you stop the car, you will probably be shot first, so run away quickly. What are you waiting for?
This car is a good car, with high horsepower and bulletproof.
Hasselblad drove the car for several hundred meters and did not hear any new gunshots. Then he slowed down and asked Li Zheng: "Did you see anyone chasing us?"
Li Zheng had been paying attention to the rear, so he shook his head: "No, it's probably a stray bullet."
Hasselblad felt so distressed that he reached out and touched the spider web-like crack, and muttered: "I have to tell the boss later to reimburse the repair money. This glass is so expensive!"
