Chapter 18 Several shadows boarded the train
After Director Li finished speaking, he glanced at everyone.
Instructor Ji looked at Director Li and smiled. He knew that although he was the only male instructor, he was the oldest and didn't want to stand out, so he didn't volunteer. The other three female instructors volunteered.
"Let me go ! After all, I have learned blasting abroad." Instructor Li said.
"Okay. Thank you for your hard work." Director Li agreed to Li Lexuan's request.
"Let's decide on six members! How about this, Instructor Li, you are the team leader, you select four members first, and leave two spots for everyone to recommend and discuss." Director Li said with a smile.
Instructor Li Lexuan quickly selected four people, including Zhang Dahu. She originally wanted to bring Que Dongjin with her, but he was in solitary confinement and could not participate in this mission.
The remaining two people started to discuss. Before Li Lexuan could put forward her opinion, Gao Weilan spoke first. She said, "Let Wang Shixiong participate as well! Let him make up for his mistakes. Besides, he is still quite good in his studies."
"I think Wang Shixiong is not suitable for this group. He has a fierce temper and is prone to getting into trouble," said Instructor Wang.
"Having a hot temper has its advantages, and this group really needs someone like that. Besides, we should give him a chance to make amends. Right?" After Instructor Ji finished speaking, he looked at Director Li.
"I think it's a good thing to let Wang Shixiong go and hone his character. His character needs to be tempered. Okay, count him in," said Director Zhang.
Li Lexuan wanted to say something, but she held back. She knew Director Li and Instructor Gao Weilan too well. She knew that it would be useless if she said anything, so why bother?
Instructor Wang knew clearly that Wang Shixiong was a student under his direct instruction and that his personality was indeed too strong. Training him was a good thing, but the risk factor for him in this mission was too high!
After the blasting team was decided, another four-member team was decided. This team was responsible for climbing onto the train a few miles in front and disconnecting the carriages containing bullets. Two people in each team worked at both ends of the carriage.
Instructor Wang and Jiang Wukui participated in the mission of this group. The other students were ambushed under the leadership of Instructor Gao and Instructor Ji, responsible for guarding and sniping the enemy and protecting the two groups of staff. The team led by Instructor Wang would follow the carriage to cooperate with Li Lexuan and others.
After the division of labor was completed, Director Li took out the map and pointed to a point on the railway line and said, "The blasting will be carried out here. This place is called Centipede Ridge. Instructor Wang, you will climb onto the train three miles in front of Centipede Ridge and disconnect the seventh carriage to make it independent. This way, when the blasting is carried out, it may hurt innocent people in the carriages behind. However, there is no way. Dong Lingmeng is too cunning. She actually arranged it on this coach and put it in the middle carriage!"
"Director Li, I think we should send someone to climb onto the train 20 miles ahead to find out whether there are any passengers in the seventh carriage. This will be safer," said Instructor Wang.
"Are you afraid that the nine-tailed fox will change the carriage at the last minute?" Director Li said.
"That's right. We were deceived by her last time about the substitute. We should be careful!" said Instructor Wang.
"That makes sense. If she wants to change carriages , she can only change forward, don't you think?" Director Li said.
"That's right. If they move to the front and we carry out the mission according to the seventh carriage, it will be too late." Instructor Gao said.
"You are right. We should be more thoughtful. Who will scout this carriage?" Instructor Ji looked at Gao Weilan and thought, it's your turn!
"Your instructor doesn't need to take action for this. I think it's more appropriate to let Zheng Jun do it. He is smart and climbing is his forte. Instructor Li, is that right?" Director Li looked at Li Lexuan.
"Yes. He is very suitable. Let's transfer him out and choose someone else from my team. Besides, didn't he cooperate with us after the reconnaissance?" Li Lexuan said.
Zheng Jun is Li Lexuan's favorite student.
"Okay. It's settled. Instructor Li, please choose another person from the cover team!" said Director Li.
"Yes." Li Lexuan said loudly.
Instructor Ji looked at Li Lexuan, smiled, and thought to himself, "Does Li Lexuan know about the special relationship between Director Li and Instructor Gao? Director Li always protects Instructor Gao, Li Lexuan should be able to see it!"
"Okay. Everyone, make your preparations, explain the details to your team members tomorrow , and set off on time at 8 o'clock this evening," said Director Li.
The next day, four o'clock in the afternoon.
Instructor Wang’s office.
Wang Shixiong looked at Instructor Wang with a smile on his face. He was grateful that Instructor Wang did not put him in solitary confinement. Thinking of Que Dongjin staying in the solitary confinement room, alone, he could not hide his inner happiness.
"Wang Shixiong, your mission tonight is arduous and dangerous. Do you realize that?" Instructor Wang looked at him.
"Of course I know this. There will always be dangers when we carry out our missions. But, instructor, don't worry, I always remember your teachings, and we are not afraid of sacrifice!" said Wang Shixiong.
“Not being afraid of sacrifice does not mean letting yourself sacrifice in vain! What I emphasized to you is how to protect yourself, have you forgotten?” Instructor Wang’s voice was a little loud.
"I know."
"That's good to know! Remember, you must obey Instructor Li's instructions in everything, do you understand?" Instructor Wang said sternly.
"clear!"
"Wang Shixiong, I tell you, if you don't obey Instructor Li's command and do whatever you want, I will punish you even if you successfully complete the task! Remember this! Go down!" After Instructor Wang finished speaking, she sat on the chair. She seemed to have a bad premonition.
"Got it." Wang Shixiong stepped out.
On his way back to the dormitory, Wang Shixiong thought to himself, "Instructor Wang not only has a stern face, but he is also fussy. I have completed the task and you are punishing me? Humph! Nonsense!"
6pm.
In Li Jianwei's dormitory.
"The three of us were divided into three groups for this mission, and I'm a little worried." Li Jianwei said to Zhang Dahu and Jiang Wukui .
"Don't worry, I will be careful, and you should be careful too." Zhang Dahu said.
"What we are most worried about is you, Dahu. Everyone knows that your group is the most dangerous," said Jiang Wukui.
"Everyone is in danger. The three of us are not in the same group anymore, so let's be careful! We will work together to complete the task. Dongjin cannot participate in this mission, and we cannot embarrass Dongjin!" said Zhang Dahu.
"Yes. We are responsible for the cover, and the risk factor is the lowest. You two have to worry and be careful." Li Jianwei said as he held their hands.
"The same goes for you. Bullets have no eyes. Don't be careless!" said Zhang Dahu.
"Well. We'll set off in two hours. I hope we can complete the mission successfully and come back safely!" said Li Jianwei.
"Although we have carried out several missions, these missions were all because of Dong Lingmeng. It would have been great if Zhang Dahu had not assassinated a stand-in! Dong Lingmeng is really too cunning!" Jiang Wukui's eyes widened when he talked about Dong Lingmeng.
"How could a woman climb to that position without being cunning? We say she is cunning, and their people say she is capable and has strategies. Don't you think so?" said Zhang Dahu.
"Yes, yes. Will we become as cunning as her in the future?" Li Jianwei said with a smile.
"Who knows? Environment shapes people. A bad environment will make people learn to be cunning slowly." Jiang Wukui said with a smile.
"No matter how much we learn, we can't become that cunning. We are too naive," said Zhang Dahu with a smile.
"I think so too. Take you, Zhang Dahu, for example! No matter how cunning you are, you can only do chest expansion exercises. Use your developed muscles to seduce those middle-aged women and let them die under your beauty trap!" Li Jianwei said with a smile.
"Go away. You're making fun of me again. I'm not going to tease you anymore. Get ready!" said Zhang Dahu.
8:30pm.
A train was heading towards Centipede Ridge. When the train passed through the tunnel, a black shadow flew onto the train. The black shadow shuttled back and forth on the train. He saw that the seventh carriage was full of passengers. He was shocked and thought, "Dong Lingmeng, this nine-tailed fox, is really cunning! If we don't scout in advance, by the time we find the carriages disconnected, we will have passed the location and it will be difficult to move."
The black shadow was moving towards the carriage in front. It was Zheng Jun, Li Lexuan's favorite student. Following Instructor Li's instructions, he began to search forward.
Zheng Jun found that there were only four people in the fifth carriage, all of them were big men, and there seemed to be a lot of wooden boxes inside. Yes, it was this carriage!
Zheng Jun looked around and knew that he was not far from the ambush site. He had to move towards the car in front and give them a signal in advance, even if it was just to buy a few seconds.
When Zheng Jun crawled to the second carriage, he knew that the locomotive had entered the ambush site, so he quickly sent out the "five" signal.
As soon as the signal was sent, he saw several dark figures boarding the train, and they were in carriage number five, so he also moved towards carriage number five.
An ambush in front of the train.
Li Lexuan put her ear to the ground, and suddenly raised her head and said, "Everyone, get ready. The target is coming. Pay attention, run directly to the separate carriage, move quickly, evacuate quickly! Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Zhang Dahu and several others responded.
The reception area in front of Li Lexuan.
Instructor Gao and Instructor Ji looked at the time at the same time.
"Everyone, be ready! When the train arrives here, Instructor Li and his team will have already loaded the bombs. They will evacuate in time. If you find anything unusual, provide cover with fire! The other side has not opened fire, so we cannot be exposed. Remember this!" said Instructor Gao.
The train was running wildly.
Suddenly, the locomotive rushed forward with only four carriages. Although the carriages at the back were still sliding forward quickly, their speed had obviously slowed down.
After a while, an independent carriage appeared. It was still sliding forward. The carriages behind it were closely following it. The four people in the independent carriage felt that something was wrong, and some people began to look outside from the window.
Several dark figures jumped onto the separate carriage and began to act in a panic. The people on the original carriage looked warily at the carriage following closely behind.
"Something's happening!" a burly man in the independent carriage shouted loudly.
