Chapter 451 Smuggling
Sato Sakura and the others are in a very bad situation at this time.
At this time, the poison of the dark blood centipede had almost spread to Sato Sakura's whole body. Under the action of the poison, her blood vessels became stiff, her muscles atrophied, and her nerves also had problems. I can't even walk, and I can only move around in a wheelchair.
This is the result of Sato Sakura taking almost all the antidote elixir on her body, and using the secret method in the clear water formula to forcibly stimulate her vitality at the cost of sacrificing her life, otherwise she would have died by this time.
As the price of the secret method, even if she survived this time, at least twenty years of her lifespan would be lost.
But now she can't take care of that much anymore, because if she doesn't use the secret method, she won't lose her lifespan, but will be dead.
One is to lose her future life, and the other is to lose her life immediately. She can only choose the lesser of two evils.
What is bad is not only Sato Sakura's physical condition, but also the dangerous environment they face.
Originally they thought that they would be safe if they escaped from Ruan Taiyang's hands, but they underestimated Ruan Taiyang's energy in Annan. Not to mention his status, he was treated like a living god. Even Annan's previous national leaders had to be polite and behave like disciples when they met Ruan Taiyang.
Ruan Taiyang's energy and influence in An Nanguo can be imagined.
Therefore, when Ruan Taiyang spoke, the whole of Annan was mobilized, the military and police were dispatched, and the practice circle was also moved by Ruan Taiyang's heavy reward, as if a net had been laid to search for Sato Sakura and his party.
Originally, Sato Sakura and the others wanted to go north by land.
After all, Annan and Huaxia share a large territory, and it is very convenient to smuggle across the border. As long as you leave Annan and enter Huaxia, you don't have to be afraid of anything.
But apparently Annan also expected that Sato Sakura and the others would have such a plan, so they deployed military and police forces to guard against the north, and set up heavy checkpoints and blockades. Search and suppress Sato Sakura and the others.
As a result, although Sato Sakura and the others were able to be more careful along the way, they were still spotted several times. Fortunately, they broke through the encirclement and escaped in time after fierce fighting, and were not caught and surrounded by large troops.
But after these exposures, Sato Sakura and the others also realized that it was almost impossible to go northward by land according to the original plan, so they had to change the plan and turn to Haiphong City, trying to sneak out to sea and leave Annan.
Unexpectedly, they fell from one net to another.
Annan's inspection and blockade on Haiphong is no weaker than that on the northern border. After Sato Sakura and the others came here, they found that it was not as simple as they expected to smuggle away.
Wanting to find another way, the poisonous wound on Sato Sakura's body began to worsen, and it was difficult to withstand the long journey of eating and sleeping in the open, so they were temporarily trapped here.
They now live in a dilapidated house on the outskirts of Haiphong.
The reason for choosing this place is that not only is this private house located in the suburbs, but also there are no other people nearby. There is only a single man who is addicted to drugs, and there are few people who usually interact with him. It is not easy for them to hide here.
As for the original owner of the house, they disposed of it.
"Bang bang bang..."
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Sato Sakura and another Anyuwei ninja in the room immediately became alert.
Sato Sakura glanced at the other Anyuwei ninja, he nodded knowingly, and lightly jumped to ambush by the door with a knife, then lowered his voice and asked, "Who?"
"Kimura-kun is me, Inoue."
A familiar voice came from outside the door, Sato and the dark feather guard ninja named Kimura both heaved a sigh of relief. It turned out that the companions who had been sent out to inquire about the situation had returned.
"Inoue-kun, you're back, how are you doing?"
Kimura opened the door and let Inoue into the room, then asked.
Sato Sakura heard the words and looked over.
"Vice Commander Qi, this subordinate has already contacted a small snakehead in the local area. He was greedy for the price we gave and promised to send us away quietly, but he can't go directly to China Mainland, because the coast guard patrols there are very busy. Yan, I can only go to Xiangjiang first."
"It's okay to go to Xiangjiang. We can contact the Lord when we arrive in Xiangjiang."
Sato Sakura couldn't help showing a hint of joy on her face, nodded and said.
In order to get rid of Annan's signal tracking along the way, they lost all the communication equipment, so that they completely lost contact with the above.
"But is the guy you're looking for reliable? He won't betray us, will he?"
"I don't think so." The dark feather guard ninja called Inoue shook his head, "I pretended to be a native of Annan to negotiate with him, and I deliberately paid more deposits for several people. He should not think of us."
"Now that the wind is so tight, other smugglers dare not move. How dare he send us away?"
"The subordinates deliberately arrested one of his subordinates for interrogation. According to his subordinates, although this snakehead does not do much business, he has been in this business for many years. Now that he is old, he has made almost the same money these years. I'm ready to wash my hands and go to Xiangjiang to retire, my wife and children have already been sent to Xiangjiang to settle down."
"This time it's because of the high price we offered, and we're going to make a last profit at the end of the day. Anyway, he doesn't plan to come back after arriving in Xiangjiang, and he's not afraid that Annan will find out and deal with him afterwards."
"Is that so..."
Sato Sakura couldn't help hesitating a little, always feeling a little unsafe.
But if you want the current situation, it will be more risky to wait any longer, and she can't bear it for long, so even if there are some risks, she can only take them.
"Okay then, when are you leaving?"
"He said that as long as we have no problem here, we can leave tonight. But we can't go from the port, we can only go to the north tens of miles away, there is a small abandoned pier over there."
Sakura Sato nodded.
Smuggling, if you leave the port openly, it is not called smuggling.
...
Almost at the same time, in an old warehouse next to the port.
A dark and thin old man was kneeling on the cold ground under the escort of a group of big men.
A middle-aged man with a tattooed bald head sat on a chair and looked at him coldly like a snake: "Uncle Li, you are also an old man in our industry. You were already running the boat when my dad was at the helm." , you don’t understand the rules, why do you still knowingly break it?”
"Xiang... Brother Xiang, I don't quite understand what you mean."
The thin old man trembled in fear.
"Uncle Li, are you pretending to be confused with me, aren't you?" The bald man's face sank suddenly: "My old man has already made it clear that no one is allowed to send people out during this period, why are you so disobedient? "
"Brother Xiang, I don't have one."
"No? How dare you argue with me, give him some means to clear his mind."
"what--"
In an instant, a shrill scream came from far away from the warehouse.
