Chapter 59
There is no Spring Festival in the Eastern Kingdom. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Song Ran was awakened by the sound of artillery fire. She kicked her feet lightly under the thin quilt. Li Zan also woke up with his eyes squinted and looked at his watch. It was ten o'clock in the morning local time.
Song Ran is going to a residential area for interviews today, and Li Zan is going to return to the team.
The two of them had a simple brunch and went out. Li Zan said that there was still some time before the afternoon, so he would accompany her for a walk first.
Song Ran knew that he was worried. The situation in Candi has become increasingly turbulent recently, with multiple forces fighting each other and a terrorist attack occurring every two days. Not to mention street fighting.
Although dangerous, Cangdi has great story value.
It is the largest city in northern Dongguo and the economic and cultural center of the north. More importantly, it is a stronghold of the anti-government forces. It was captured and quickly occupied by the anti-government forces at the beginning of the war. One year and eight months after the war began, Cangdi was under the rule of the rebels for most of the time. Although it once became the base camp of terrorist organizations, the anti-military forces continued to fight against them and effectively contained the forces of terrorist organizations.
Because of this reason, the civilians in Candi City do not have a strong sense of resistance and fighting, and they are somewhat indifferent to the arrival of government troops.
During this period, there were frequent battles between government troops and rebels in Nancheng. Neighborhoods were destroyed and municipal administration was paralyzed. Many people moved from Nancheng to the north.
The motorcycle was driving all the way north and encountered a large-scale battle on the way. The shells flew and the bullets were fired.
Li Zan had no choice but to take a detour and head east.
Song Ran said: "Don't get too close to the east, that is the territory of terrorists."
Li Zan said: "I know it well."
He knew the distribution of forces in the city well, and he meandered northward along the lanes within the control area of ??the rebels. Song Ran hugged his waist and looked around cautiously, and accidentally saw a white dome in the distance.
The houses in the city are generally low, and the sky is high and the clouds are clear, so the sight is wide. You can clearly see the Cangdi Temple one kilometer away. The huge and magnificent white square building is hidden under the blue sky.
"Is that Cangdi Temple?" Song Ran sighed, "It's so beautiful!"
Li Zan glanced at it: "Yes."
"I wanted to see it before the war broke out. It seems to be five hundred years old, and the queen of King Gucandi is buried underground. It was a marble temple built for the queen."
Li Zan said: "It is beautifully built and the design is very exquisite. Such a large mausoleum is all made of marble seamlessly."
"Do you understand?" She stuck her head out and asked him.
"I just saw its architectural structure the day before yesterday."
"Why?"
"That place is now a stronghold for terrorists. We are trying to find a way to take it down. But it will take a week or two to study it, and at least seven or eight teams will be needed to coordinate operations."
"Is it difficult?"
"It's similar to the Aare Castle. It can't be blasted. And there is a 500-meter-long approach to the front door."
"Oh." Song Ran said, "Then wait until you have a thorough plan before taking action."
Li Zan smiled lightly: "Don't worry."
As he spoke, the sound of gunfire was already behind him. When we were about to enter the living area, we encountered an anti-military barrier.
One of them is an international war correspondent and the other is a Cook soldier.
The anti-military troops inspected their documents, which did not embarrass them. However, when he saw Song Ran's name, the soldier raised his eyebrows and asked, "Candy?"
¡°¡¡± Song Ran smiled awkwardly. Because of that photo, many countries sent troops to assist the Dongguo governmentto fight the rebels.
The soldier was very generous and returned her ID card, saying unjustly: "You photographed terrorists, but we were beaten. It's really unfair. We don't see those countries directly going to war against terrorist organizations."
Li Zan said: "International politics."
The soldier shrugged and asked Li Zan: "I heard that you have cleared out all the small strongholds of terrorist organizations in the east of the city?"
"Absolutely." Li Zan said.
"However, there are still a lot of them. The war lasted for too long, and the victims were displaced. In order to earn commissions, they joined terrorist organizations."
"That's the case."
"I am from Cangdi, and I joined the rebel army in order to fight terrorist organizations." The soldier sighed and said, "At that time, only the rebel army in Cangdi had the strength to fight against terrorist organizations. The government troops didn't even know where they were. "
Li Zan smiled slightly, refused to comment, and turned to look at Song Ran. She nodded slightly to indicate that she remembered the soldier.
The world of little people is always more tortuous and three-dimensional than imagined.
pass?Staying too long. Cangdi has been too chaotic lately. "
"Okay." Song Ran climbed on the motorcycle, hugged him and chuckled, whispering, "You don't trust me so much. Just put me in your pocket."
Although the voice was small, Li Zan heard it. He raised the corners of his lips slightly and started the motorcycle: "I think so."
In less than ten minutes, the two arrived at the refugee area on the outskirts.
It¡¯s a different scene here. There are no avenues, just criss-crossing small streets and alleys, mostly populated by people who have migrated from Nancheng. The lanes are crowded, dirty and littered with garbage. Both sides of the narrow road are crowded with small shops, and clotheslines cut the sky in disorder. Although there are many small shops, the best business is the employment agency, with long queues at the door. People who had lost their jobs during the war were looking for temporary jobs to make ends meet.
There are many seemingly educated and educated people in the team, but most of the jobs provided are manual labor such as moving and digging trenches, and the supply exceeds demand.
It is not convenient for Song Ran to look for clues to the underground organization alone, so she has to wait for Jose to come over.
She said to Li Zan: "I'll look around first. Jose has already arrived. You can go back to the team and don't worry about me."
Li Zan had no intention of leaving: "There are many alleys here. If you run around alone, be careful that you get lost later."
Song Ran pushed him forward: "Don't worry, just go, I have a good sense of direction!"
Li Zan was pushed forward by her and took a few steps forward. He turned back and stood still, saying, "I'd better wait until Jose comes before I leave."
Song Ran couldn't drive him away, so he smiled and said, "Okay, as long as I don't delay your business."
She was filming at the intersection of two alleys. Li Zan looked at her with his arms folded. After watching for a while, he saw that she had only half of the water in the bottle left, and said, "I'll buy you a bottle of water."
"oh."
Li Zan strode to the small shop diagonally across the alley.
A group of local people looking for rent came out of the housing agency and blocked in front of the store to bargain with the agency.
He bypassed the crowd and walked towards the small store. Two or three passers-by came from the opposite side and passed through the crowd. The moment he passed by, Li Zan felt from the corner of his eye that a young man glanced at his military uniform unintentionally, and immediately averted his eyes the next second.
Intuition noticed something strange at that moment.
Li Zan turned around and saw the young man walking through the crowd with his head down, wearing a thick coat.
A thick coat?
He also noticed that Li Zan turned around and accelerated towards the intersection of the alley. There were several tricycles jamming the place.
Li Zan was startled and shouted: "Ran Ran!"
Song Ran was standing at the intersection taking pictures, turned around and saw what was happening, and reflexively rushed into the residential corridor on the roadside.
¡°Bang!¡± With a loud noise, the human attacker exploded in the middle of the street. The tricycle and passers-by were blown to pieces on the spot, with blood and flesh flying everywhere. People nearby had their arms and legs cut off, or were injured in the chest and abdomen, and fell to the ground twitching and screaming in pain. Pedestrians, shops, and residents fled screaming.
Li Zan had crawled on the ground to avoid the shock wave of the explosion a moment ago, and was about to get up and rush to the other side of the street when his eyes caught something strange again from the crowd. He stopped, rolled towards the steps by the roadside with his head in his hands, and fell to the ground. With two loud bangs of "boom" and "boom", small shops, agency houses, and roofs flew off and were reduced to rubble. Bricks and blood were sprayed in the middle of the street.
The crowd screamed and shouted, stepping on the victim's body and fleeing toward the alley.
Li Zan quickly rolled into the newly exploded ruins, hid behind the broken wall with flying flames and drew his gun, looking quickly for suspicious elements in the crowd. But suddenly, bursts of machine gunfire came from the street.
At the entrance of the alley, a group of black-clad and masked terrorists raised their guns and fired at the fleeing crowd. The unarmed people had just rushed to the alley, but they ran into the attacker head-on, screaming in agony.
In the narrow alley, gunshots, cries, and shouts were torn into pieces.
The veins on Li Zan's forehead popped out, and his fingers pinched the gun body tightly, as if he could break the gun.
Across the street, Song Ran, covered in cannon fodder, huddled in the corridor, shaking her head at him with tears in her eyes.
Li Zan stared at her closely, hating and enduring, and suddenly lowered his head hard, hitting the wall with his head.
The opponent has a large number of people, and it is difficult for him to support him alone.
But at this moment, he saw a little boy sitting silently on the ground under a broken billboard in the middle of the street, with several bleeding corpses lying next to him.
The sound of gunshots approached and people ran past, crying. Li Zan gritted his teeth and took a look, then suddenly bent down and rushed out of the ruins, quickly crawled to the center of the road close to the ground, hugged the child and crawled towards Song Ran.
Song Ran immediately knelt down, lay down by the corridor, and reached out to him from a distance.
But at that moment, Li Zan's entire face suddenly distorted, his eyebrows furrowed, and he lay stiffly in the middle of the street, motionless.
The child in his arms stood up, holding a bloody sharp knife in his hand, shouting and running towards his fellow terrorists.
Li Zan covered his side ribs, blood dripping from his fingers. He raised his head, his red eyes stared in the direction of Song Ran, and one word escaped from his teeth: "Let's go!"
