Behind him, Lian Nishang gritted his teeth and followed silently, keeping alert at all times. Even if he slipped, he would get up silently and follow him without saying a word.
As the deputy chief of the household registration department, she did not need to participate in the arrest operation. However, there was a shortage of senior police officers in Guangzhou, and there were even fewer police commanders with complete training, so she volunteered to apply to participate in the operation - in her mind, I came to Guangzhou with the intention of making meritorious deeds, so I went to Mu Min to fight for it.
Because Cui Hantang insisted on taking the lead in the arrest: "You don't know the ways of monsters like them," Mu Min was a little worried about his safety. She was quite confident in her skills in practicing neon clothes, so she assigned her to follow Cui Hantang - "Protect the chief's safety at all times."
Lian Nishang naturally knew that this was Director Mu's opportunity for her to show off. Of course, if anything happened to Cui Taoist Priest, she would be in doom.
Behind her were several police officers acting as local guides. Most of them were locals who were familiar with the terrain outside the Great North Gate. However, no one has been here late at night, and several people have extremely nervous expressions on their faces.
They were poorly trained and had no experience hiking in the wild at night. In addition, they were highly stressed and soon became out of breath. They stumbled forward, barely keeping up.
Behind them is a small group of National Army infantry, but each has its own characteristics: there are soldiers from the Limiao Mountain Company with machetes on their waists and crossbows on their backs, soldiers from the Swordsman Team with double swords on their waists, and soldiers wearing snare leather and Riot squad soldiers in rattan protective equipment, holding shields and wearing helmets.
It was already the fourth watch when the arresting officers arrived at the outskirts of the cemetery, and the sky was at its darkest. The moon was black and the stars were sparse, and the surrounding areas were pitch black. The arresting team quietly laid a dragnet around the cemetery. According to the plan, the capture team launched an attack at dawn when the sky was dim and the visibility was good, and the demon was captured in one fell swoop - Mu Min requested that he be "captured alive" as much as possible.
If it hadn't been for this requirement, to be honest, it wouldn't have been Cui Hantang's turn to take the lead.
When Cui Hantang arrived at the position, he was sweating profusely and panting like an ox. He sat down on a broken tombstone and drank water behind a barren grave, panting like an ox.
This is the location of the Special Reconnaissance Team surveillance post. The special recon team lurking here whispered: "Chief, this is it." He pointed in the direction.
Cui Hantang took a few sips of water, poked his head out from behind the grave, and looked in the direction pointed by the special reconnaissance team. He saw a hundred meters away, the terrain was slightly raised, and it was so dark that he could just barely see a bunch of dark buildings. . He silently raised his infrared telescope, and in the lens he saw a dilapidated wall with a closed door, surrounded by many tall trees and trees. The grass under the trees outside the wall was knee-deep, and there was barely a path through the thorns to the steps.
Although the wall was dilapidated, it was not low in height. It was a bit difficult for him to climb over the wall with his physique. Cui Hantang thought to himself, it seemed that he would have to just hit the door and rush in.
He raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was almost four o'clock in the morning, and it would be dawn in more than an hour. He made an appointment with Mu Min to start action at five o'clock.
"Everyone rest on the spot and take turns monitoring!" Cui Hantang said.
Seeing the fish-belly white gradually appearing in the east and the sky getting slightly brighter, Cui Hantang looked at his watch. The hour hand was already close to five o'clock. He nodded and signaled for action.
The two Li National Army soldiers responsible for opening the road nodded to indicate their understanding, pulled out their machetes, and lurked over, one behind the other. They had been trained to sneak in and used the weeds and trees outside the door to cover each other. When they saw a few steps away from the door, they suddenly stumbled, and a pleasant sound of bells came from the grass.
The expressions of the two people suddenly changed. Their emotions triggered the mechanism, and the sneak attack turned into a violent attack. They jumped up and rushed towards the door.
Cui Hantang cursed secretly, stood up and rushed forward. Suddenly he felt something soft under his feet, and then something hit his calf hard. He was startled and looked down quickly. It turned out that there was something soft under his feet. A small snake. This snake was only about 1 meter long. It had black and white rings all over its body - it was a highly venomous bungara snake. The snake's belly was stepped on by his feet, and a slender tail kept shaking. The snake His mouth was biting hard on the top of his boot.
Cui Hantang secretly called a fluke. This snake was obviously poisonous. Fortunately, they all wore boots or thick leggings today to increase the defensive area. Immediately, he raised his other foot and stepped on it hard, pressing his tongue from his neck to the ground. He pressed harder with his foot and stepped on it again with the freed foot. After four or five kicks, he stepped on a snake's head. He was so broken that he could never live again.
In a short time, the two leading Li soldiers rushed to the door, inserted the machete through the crack of the door and picked it out. The action was very skillful, but the door latch did not open. It turned out that the door knocker was inserted inside. , I had to insert the tip of the knife into the crack of the door and pull it out bit by bit.
The door bolt didn't open. According to the backup plan, two National Army riot squad members had already rushed up from behind carrying door hammers.
But Cui Hantang couldn't wait for them to come over and roared: "Get out of the way!"
He took a few steps and rushed over with the wind. The two Li people hurriedly stepped aside. Cui Hantang lowered his head and hit the door with his shoulder!
Cui Hantang is nearly 1.80 meters tall and weighs more than 180 kilograms. He also wears a suit of chain mail weighing more than 20 kilograms. His whole body weighs more than 200 kilograms. He is carrying the wind when he runs. It hit the door with a bang. Not only did the door latch break into two pieces, but the door frame also shook a few times. Suddenly, a yellow-skinned gourd fell from the top of the lintel with dirt attached to it.
Cui Hantang shook his dizzy head and moved his shoulders. He was about to brag a few words when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the gourd rolling on the ground.
The gourd sutra was dropped like this, and several pieces of mud seals fell off. Several eyes were exposed on the gourd's belly, and a buzzing sound came from the gourd.
Cui Hantang's face suddenly changed and he shouted: "Run!"
Before others could react, he took off his Taoist robe, twisted it in his hands, and ran out.
The two Li soldiers were a little surprised when they saw Cui Hantang's violent collision. They were about to rush in, but they saw Cui Hantang running away and couldn't help but froze.
By the time the two of them figured out that the situation was not good and wanted to run away, it was already too late. They saw a swarm of wasps as long as half a finger emerging from the gourd. These wasps were twice as big as the average Hu Feng, and their bodies were black. It was shiny, and the yellow stripes on its body could be seen in the dim light of the morning. It circled briefly and then rushed towards them.
The Li soldiers had been in the mountainous area for a long time, so they naturally knew how powerful the wasps were. They ran away immediately. A few steps behind when they reacted a little slowly, they were swooped by the swarm of wasps and stung several times. He rolled on the ground and whined in pain, and for a moment he lay on the ground and stopped moving.
The swarm of wasps did not fly away even after stinging someone, but flew up and down around the gourd at the gate. When everyone saw how venomous the wasp was, no one dared to rush forward.
Cui Hantang secretly cursed trash, walked around in circles a few times, put on his Taoist robe, and took out something from the treasure bag he carried with him. But it was Lingao's homemade smoke grenade. He pulled it hard and threw it towards the door.
The jar fell to the ground and immediately broke into several pieces. Everyone didn't know what the Taoist priest was up to, but billowing white smoke suddenly came out of the jar, covering the entire door in an instant.
The old naturalized soldiers and police naturally knew that this was a smoke bomb, and the newcomers all opened their eyes wide, wondering what kind of magic weapon this was?
Cui Hantang couldn't care less about being proud - although the smoke bombs could drive away the wasps, his line of sight was also blocked. If the demon took advantage of the chaos and escaped, wouldn't it be an advantage to the other party? He ignored the smoke and shouted loudly: "Quick, get in!"
The effect of the smoke bomb was good. Dead wasps had fallen to the ground next to the gourd, and some of the wasps that were not dead were fluttering on the ground in the yard.
Although the yard is large, there are no buildings in it. Only the three main houses still look decent. On both sides are long rows of small houses that were built later. They are already dilapidated. The dilapidated doors and windows are all open. When you look in, there are coffins parked inside, which is very scary. .
The National Army soldiers immediately dispersed to search, and Cui Hantang led his men to the main room. Lian Nishang wanted to rush ahead, but was stopped by Cui Hantang:
"Be careful of the trap!" he said, which was appropriate for everyone to distance themselves from the main house.
The doors and windows of the main room were closed. If the demon was still inside after the commotion just now, something must be done. Although Cui Hantang volunteered to take the lead, he was actually not sure of what tricks the enemy would play. He had already seen poisonous snakes and wasps, but what was next?
Fortunately, they have now rushed into the yard and surrounded the iron barrels on all sides. As long as the demon is still in the room, he will not be able to escape.
Just as he was thinking about it, the soldiers who searched the backyard also came back and reported that there was nothing else in the backyard except a toilet.
"Fire the tear gas! Drive this demon out!"
Cui Hantang gave the order, and several riot police members immediately raised their shotguns and fired fiercely. In an instant, they smashed the sash of a window in the main room. Then they threw four or five tear gas canisters at one go, and the three main rooms were instantly filled with tear gas. Thick smoke billowed out, and a pungent smell suddenly filled the air.
A violent coughing and sneezing sound immediately came from the main room. Cui Hantang was overjoyed that the evil spirit was still there! He secretly thought that as long as people are still here, let’s see where you can run to! He couldn't help but pretend to be relaxed and said: "A little poisonous bee gourd dares to show off. Since we can't get in, let him come out on his own!" After saying this, he put his hands behind his back and stood proudly. (To be continued.)
