Chapter 388
Qi Mingyu finished speaking quickly.
He quickly took off his air-conditioned suit and handed it to Zhou Shuwan.
Zhou Shuwan shook his head, looked around, and under Qi Mingyu's cover, he took out all the goose down jackets, goose down vests, goose down pants, etc., and put them on himself and Qi Mingyu.
I also put a hot pack on my body.
"Late night..."
Zhou Shuwan explained, "Air-conditioning suits are expensive. We're about to face a gunfight, and one has already broken. We can't waste it! Besides, wearing an air-conditioning suit isn't comfortable..."
Seeing Zhou Shuwan's insistence, Qi Mingyu stopped talking, quickly put on warm clothes, put on the bulletproof vest on the outside, checked the guns and ammunition, and after making sure there were no problems, the two quickly left the store.
The shop owner looked at their backs curiously, but he didn't think much of it because they both had so many things in their backpacks and had changed their clothes from inside to outside.
Without the protection of air-conditioned clothing, the biting cold wind carried snowflakes and hit my face, causing severe pain.
The street lamps emitted a dim light, shining on the deserted streets, making them look particularly deserted.
Zhou Shuwan was highly concentrated. When the wind blew, she subconsciously tightened the gun in her hand, and her fingers turned white from the force.
As they passed by, the two men realized that the base was unusually quiet and there were almost no other residents to be seen.
Zhou Shuwan whispered, "We were at the shelter just now. There was such a big commotion, but apart from a few survivors who came out to see what was happening, we didn't see any members of the security team or the military."
"Everything is planned." Qi Mingyu kept a vigilant eye on his surroundings and whispered quickly, "Xiao Xiao and Mingyue may have been tricked too. They must be in a very dangerous situation now..."
"You came back so late last night..." Zhou Shuwan asked in a low voice.
Qi Mingyu nodded: "I have arrangements."
No extra words were said.
Zhou Shuwan didn't ask any more questions. She had suspected yesterday that the other party came back so late because he had discussed a plan with Xiao Xiao.
Now that I know that we have made arrangements and we are not just going to be beaten, I feel a little relieved.
They took a shortcut and ran towards home.
The snow started falling again, and the cold snowflakes hit my face, feeling as painful as needles.
Zhou Shuwan's breathing became rapid, but she didn't dare to stop. She had to rush home as quickly as possible.
On the way, they were stopped and checked by a patrol team of soldiers.
The soldiers all held guns in their hands and looked at them warily.
"Stop! What are you doing?" the leading soldier shouted.
Qi Mingyu raised his right hand and put his left hand behind his back. Zhou Shuwan tacitly took the gun and ammunition from his hand and put them quietly into the space.
Then the two men raised their hands and walked over slowly.
The patrolling soldier didn't seem to have any ill intentions and looked at the two people wearing masks.
The leader asked, "Show me your ID!"
Qi Mingyu quickly showed his ID and explained in a calm tone, "We are from the security team and we need to go home now."
The soldier carefully checked Qi Mingyu's ID, then looked at Zhou Shuwan before letting him go. He also warned, "The base is under martial law now. You must return home immediately and are not allowed to go out at will." After that, the soldiers turned around and continued their patrol, disappearing in the wind and snow.
"It seems that these people are not the same group as the ones who ambushed us." Zhou Shuwan said in a low voice.
Qi Mingyu nodded and gently patted the back of Zhou Shuwan's hand.
The two continued to run towards home, their steps becoming more hurried.
However, just as they were about to reach their doorstep, they found that the villa was surrounded by soldiers armed with live ammunition.
The soldiers all had serious expressions, their guns pointed directly at the villa gate, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Zhou Shuwan's heart sank suddenly, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
Qi Mingyu's expression also turned extremely ugly. He held Zhou Shuwan's hand tightly and pulled her behind a wall to hide. His other hand calmly grasped the gun handle.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the soldiers around him. He recognized at a glance that the soldiers surrounding the villa belonged to the base guard, not the security team he was familiar with.
These guards were brought from J City by the base's top brass and are not under the jurisdiction of the security team or the army.
Qi Mingyu analyzed softly, "These guards surrounded the villa. Their target should be our families, but they didn't attack us directly. They probably wanted to use Grandma and the others as hostages to force us."
In the shelter, the other party was extremely aggressive and wanted to kill the two people on the spot!
But now that two people have escaped, they have changed their strategy, surrounding their families and waiting for them to fall into their trap.
Zhou Shuwan scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes and said decisively, "We have to outsmart them."
In the falling snow, Qi Mingyu's eyebrows looked particularly cold.
He thought for a moment and whispered something in Zhou Shuwan's ear.
The latter was slightly startled and wanted to object, but when he met the other party's serious and stern eyes, he couldn't say anything.
She bit her lip and whispered after a while: "You must be careful!"
Qi Mingyu nodded silently and stroked her cheek through the mask: "You'll see what happens later."
Then he took a deep breath, deliberately exposed himself to the guards' sight, and walked towards the villa gate as if nothing had happened.
He walked steadily, like an ordinary person who had just returned home from get off work.
The guards soon discovered him and immediately treated him as a major enemy, with countless guns pointed at him.
Zhou Shuwan clenched his fists, and a scorching light flashed in his eyes.
But the other party did not shoot directly. Instead, they carefully checked the surroundings. Then several soldiers immediately stepped forward and surrounded Qi Mingyu.
"What are you doing?" Qi Mingyu asked in feigned surprise, his brows furrowed, a hint of doubt and dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Captain Qi." The captain of the guard team stepped out from the crowd with a hypocritical smile on his face. "We received a tip that there are dangerous items hidden in your villa, and we need to search it."
His eyes flickered, "Captain Qi, please cooperate."
"Dangerous items?" Qi Mingyu raised his voice and sneered, "How is this possible! How could there be dangerous items in my house? Is this a mistake?"
As he spoke, he observed the situation in the villa calmly. It was very quiet inside and not even the sound of a rooster crowing could be heard.
I don’t know if grandma and my parents have noticed the danger outside.
"It's a routine inspection. Captain Qi, please cooperate." The captain of the guard team repeated, his tone a little heavier.
Qi Mingyu's eyes flashed: "How can I cooperate? Let me help you search the house?"
The captain of the guard team smiled and said, "Everyone in the base knows that your two families have an endless supply of weapons. Not only do we have pistols, grenades, machine guns and other common firearms, but we even have anti-tank rocket launchers! Naturally, we dare not act rashly!"
