Guo Weixiang caught his breath, his voice slightly trembling: “Feng Wentai has stolen the shuttle bus, broke through the wire fence, and is heading north!
He stood up and cleared his throat, and when he spoke again, his voice had become completely normal: “Comrade Xiao Si, three minutes to get dressed and armed, gather downstairs!”
Zhou Rong crossed over him and walked out of the room. Guo Weixiang was standing in the hallway waiting, and as soon as he saw him come out, his gaze swept up and down, instantly surprised: “Rong Ge, you… what are you…”
“Can’t I wear clothes and take a bath?” Zhou Rong cursed casually, and asked: “What’s the situation now?”
“Ah? Oh, Feng Wentai and the others knocked out the guards, stole the minibus keys, and the northern barbed wire fence was completely rammed down…”
Zhou Rong strode towards the stairs, sighing inwardly.
Twelve-thirty at night, north side of the factory.
People hurried back and forth, flashlight beams sweeping across the night sky.
A large section of barbed wire lay collapsed in knee-deep withered grass. Chun Cao directed the men to use several ropes to hook the wire, personally grabbing one rope and shouting: “Three, two, one—!”
“Lift!”
Everyone worked together, and the deformed wire was slowly raised, making unbearable creaking sounds; then it split into several pieces with exclamations, crashing back into the soil!
Zhou Rong stopped, his breath visibly steaming: “What’s the temperature?”
“Minus five degrees,” Guo Weixiang said. “It’s getting colder tonight.”
The last bit of moonlight had disappeared at some point. The dark night was vast, and the factory area without wire protection stretched endlessly.
The distant darkness was impenetrable, like a giant devil’s mouth quietly opening.
Zhou Rong suddenly felt an uneasy premonition, but concealed his inner restlessness: “Who’s watching Feng Wentai’s people?”
The guards, struck hard on the back of their heads, were found bleeding and unconscious on the grass behind the car shed. Zhou Rong checked their breath and pulse, and cursed softly: “Damn!”
Guo Weixiang covered the guard with a blanket to keep him warm, saying: “Ding Shi has already gone to chase them, he’ll probably be back soon…”
“Impossible, there’s no time. How could they let the guards keep the minibus keys?!”
