Mr. Yang did not answer directly. He slowly took out a beautifully made bank magnetic stripe card with the Chinese zodiac on it.
In the 1990s, bank cards were still a new thing, and not many people knew about it in detail. Many people had only heard about it and had not seen its true face.
Because it has just been issued, the bank has extremely strict review standards. People who can hold a bank card with a string of card numbers on it are rare, and they are as rare as morning stars. They are either rich or noble.
It makes the dream of a “checkless, cashless society” a reality.
Although Mr. Yang took out an original bank magnetic stripe card that was already obsolete by today's standards, it was enough to surprise Zhou Yunzhen at the time.
"Young man, I want to ask you your name, can you tell me?"
Facing Mr. Yang's question, Zhou Yunzhen said his name without hesitation. To be honest, a name is a symbol, and its purpose is to make people remember it. There is nothing that cannot be said.
Mr. Yang was thoughtful. The past event thirty years ago was thrilling and vivid, as if it happened yesterday... He felt that this further confirmed his judgment.
Mr. Yang's name is Yang Qide. Thirty years ago, he was the director of the former Hengling District Public Security Department. At that time, the district had not yet changed into a city.
It was winter. One day, the Provincial Public Security Department held an emergency meeting. After the meeting, Yang Qide declined the department leader’s invitation to stay for one night, gave up his rest, and decided to rush back to the Hengling area to convey and deploy relevant work.
He and his driver, Luo Xiaoshan, deputy chief of the security department, drove away.
The jeep drove at a fast pace and arrived at an inaccessible mountain forest in the evening.
There is a winding dirt road in the mountain forest, and few vehicles usually pass by it.
In order to rush for time, Yang Qidecai temporarily decided to pass on from now on. He could take a shortcut and go straight to the winding road, which would save a lot of time.
Because it had rained and there was snow on the ground, the mountain road was muddy and full of potholes. The jeep was panting hard and panting through the mud.
In fact, the jeep skidded and fell into a large pothole. It roared in vain and could not climb out.
The three of them were all anxious now. It was getting late, and this area was a forest area. Wild beasts were everywhere, and incidents of hurting or even devouring people were heard from time to time.
Every night, ghosts cry and howl here, mixed with the creepy laughter of night owls, which makes people's hair stand on end.
It's quite dangerous to be stranded here.
The driver was even more confused, sweating profusely, and tried his best to drive the car out of the muddy ground.
He stomped his feet vigorously and pumped the gas, and the engine hummed and made a "whirring" sound like a broken airbox.
Then the Jeep made a "pop" sound and the Jeep engine would no longer turn over.
The driver was sweating profusely, jumped down from his seat, hurriedly opened the engine cover, and took a look.
The crankshaft is broken.
Yang Qide, the driver, and Luo Xiaoshan, the deputy chief of the security department, were all dumbfounded. There was no village in front of it, no store in the back, and it was deserted. What should we do?
Where can I buy parts?
How to troubleshoot without replacement parts? How to start this car?
The driver took out the maintenance tools from the tool box, but no matter how hard he dug, it was of no avail. It is difficult for a clever wife to make a meal without rice.
Without replacement parts, even if it is just missing a small, inconspicuous spark plug, this Jeep will not start and is nothing more than a pile of junk.
The scene fell into a terrible silence.
The mountainous climate has a large temperature difference between day and night, especially in winter. The forest area is fine during the day and is not very cold.
But at night, it was freezing and the wind was biting like a knife.
Not to mention the attack of wild animals, there is no heat in the jeep, and even the cold can freeze people into popsicles.
The three of them were helpless for a moment and fell into a desperate situation.
Not to mention that Luo Xiaoshan, the driver and deputy chief of the security department, did not have communication tools at that time. Even Yang Qide, who had a prominent position and was in charge of the public security power of a region, did not have a handheld phone. Mobile phones are everywhere and everyone has them. This is only after the 21st century.
Without a handheld phone, it was impossible to call for help. Send the driver or Luo Xiaoshan, the deputy chief of the security department, to walk out of the mountain to call the police. Not to mention that there was a 60-mile mountain road to walk. Walking at night, you might face attacks from wild beasts at any time. Then It is also very dangerous, with a narrow escape from death.
Suddenly, Yang Qide discovered that there were dozens of faint "green lights" shining directly on the hills in the distance.
"not good!"
He screamed, and he understood that this was nothing but the arrival of ferocious wolves.
He has read the internal situation report. There are occasionally wild wolves passing by here in groups. When encountering other wild beasts, they will fight with each other and devour blood. All other small animals will die instantly.
In winter, animals of all sizes are less active, and wild wolves are short of food. This is the time when they are most frantic in looking for food.
Unexpectedly, his group encountered the worst situation.
The most dangerous time has come.
The faint "green light" comes from far and near, and is accompanied by frightening howls, which looks particularly scary in the empty mountain forest. A group of hungry wolves are coming...
"Prepare your guns and prepare to fight to the death!"
Yang Qide ordered.
However, the three of them actually only had two pistols. The driver did not. Only he and Luo Xiaoshan, the deputy chief of the security department, had guns.
Yang Qide and Luo Xiaoshan, deputy chief of the security department, quickly pulled out small and large mirrored box guns. Although they were antiques from the war years, they were very powerful and lethal.
This large mirror box gun has many bullets and a long barrel, making it suitable for field operations.
But the large mirror box gun, which can hold twenty rounds, is worn by Luo Xiaoshan, deputy chief of the security department.
Although Yang Qide's gun is also called a box gun, the gun body is much smaller and can only hold six rounds of bullets.
In other words, the two of them must use these twenty-six bullets to kill or at least defeat this group of wild wolves.
But is the gun of Luo Xiaoshan, deputy chief of the security department, fully loaded?
"Luo Xiaoshan, how many bullets are there in your big mirror box gun?"
Luo Xiaoshan, deputy chief of the security department, replied with a sad face: "Director, I don't have more than ten rounds in my gun."
"ah?"
Yang Qide's surprise was no small matter, "Why didn't you load up the bullets when you set off?"
"The gun is heavy with a full magazine. Besides, this is peacetime, everything is safe, and the armorer won't give me so many bullets."
In the upcoming human-wolf war, Yang Qide felt that he was sure to win with sharp firearms. He wanted the wolves to bleed into rivers and litter the fields with corpses.
But the current situation is terrible. Facing this group of fierce and ferocious wolves, how effective can these more than ten rounds of bullets be?
Judging from the eerie "green light", there are at least thirty wolves in this pack.
It's just one bullet that kills a wolf. Can it be wiped out completely?
What's more, in this situation, who can be calm and calm in the face of life and death? If the hand shakes, the bullet may miss.
Moreover, in the dark night, the accuracy of shooting at a fast-running wolf will be much lower. And can the ferocious wolf on the opposite side be killed with one shot?
Sometimes two or three shots may not result in death.
Yang Qide was on the verge of despair. He prepared for the worst. It was difficult to survive in death.
But if you don't fight, it will be a dead end.
More than a dozen extremely hungry wild wolves stepped on the remaining snow, flashing a terrifying "green light", and rushed towards them, howling and whistling.
