Chapter 56: Assassination
Andre slapped his head and said, "I was mistaken. There was a flash of light outside. I thought it was a ballistic missile launched."
"Are you a soldier?" Gromov asked.
Andrei nodded. He had too many military qualities to deny. Moreover, Soviet soldiers had a very high status in the country and the people respected them.
"Is it from the Rocket Force?" Gromov continued to ask.
"No, I'm a pilot," said Andre.
"Pilot, that's great. Flying fighter planes, guarding the skies of our motherland." Gromov said, "If I hadn't had poor eyesight, I would have applied to the aviation school."
"You are also contributing to the construction of our motherland in the shipyard. The great comrade Lenin said that revolutionary work is not divided into high and low levels." Ekaterina said on the side.
"Yes, you two, are you going back to Moscow to visit your relatives this time?"
Young couple? Hearing this, Andrei's face was a little embarrassed: "No, we are not married yet. This time I went back to Moscow, it was..."
"Yes, we are here to visit relatives." Ekaterina said, continuing to hug Andrei's body: "Andrei, when you are done, I will take you to see my elders, okay?"
So soon, we're going to meet the parents? Andrei was stunned. He seemed not to be ready yet. Besides, who were Ekaterina's parents? What did they do? Andrei had never heard Ekaterina mention them.
At this point, Andrei also overlooked the fact that Ekaterina was talking about elders, not parents.
At this moment, Gromov's eyes suddenly became sharp. Andrei followed Gromov's gaze and saw a girl with a slender figure and curvy figure. At this moment, the girl was holding a large aluminum alloy lunch box, obviously she had just got the meal from the dining car.
Something is wrong. I always feel like something is wrong.
"Gazhizhi, gazhizhi." At this moment, the train carriage made a sound of metal friction, and it swayed from left to right and began to slow down, obviously about to enter the cave.
We have entered the Stanovoy Mountains and have to pass through many caves along the way.
"Andre, what are you looking at?" Ekaterina also felt something was wrong. What was Andre's expression at this moment? Following Andre's gaze, Ekaterina also saw the girl, and immediately, she felt jealous.
A pair of small hands reached out to Andre's most sensitive abdomen and were about to squeeze it hard.
You can only look at me and you can't have any feelings for other girls!
When she heard Andre's name, the girl blinked her eyelids, and her eyes seemed full of murderous intent.
At this moment, the carriage suddenly became dark, and we had completely entered the cave. It took a second for the eyes to adjust from light to darkness.
"Be careful!" At this moment, Andre suddenly reacted and realized what he was wondering just now. Damn, his carriage was the last one, and the girl was not in his carriage at all. Now she was walking towards him with a lunch box, as if she was going to the back carriage. It was simply making things worse!
At this moment, Andre thought of Anne again, the CIA-trained agent. Compared with the girl in front of him, her facial features were different, but the figure was very similar, as if they were carved from the same mold.
When he realized this, Andre knew he was in danger!
There was no time to say anything to Ekaterina. They had just entered the cave, and it was dark. The dim light above their heads was not enough to illuminate everything around them. So Andrei hugged Ekaterina and rolled to the ground together.
There was a sharp pain in my abdomen. Was I shot?
"Swish, swish, swish." At this moment, a few soft sounds were heard, followed by a "bang" and sparks flying. It was the sound of a bullet hitting a thick steel plate!
Silent pistol!
Andre knew that he was right. This girl really came to kill him. The gun was hidden in the lunch box! Now he had rolled to the ground, but there was no way to retreat. The other party would definitely continue to shoot at the ground and make several holes in himself and Ekaterina.
Thinking of this, Andrei could only use his body to press on Ekaterina's body, hoping that the power of the pistol bullet was limited and could not penetrate his body.
It’s a pity that I couldn’t bring the issued Makarov pistol with me, otherwise I wouldn’t be unable to fight back now.
"Bang, bang." At this moment, two gunshots were heard from the sleeper berth opposite. The engineer who looked frail jumped up from the side of the berth nimbly and fired at the girl's position.
How did the engineer have a pistol? And how did he receive special training? This series of events happened in a short moment. While Andrei was holding Ekaterina and dodging, the other party opened fire and Gromov fired back. It happened almost at the same time. Then, there were footsteps and the screams of fear from the other passengers.
The train came out of the cave and it was bright all around. Andrei looked at Ekaterina under his body, who was staring at him intently.
"Thank you, Andrei." Ekaterina knew that she had just wronged Andrei. Fortunately, Andrei was quick to act, otherwise, both of them would have become cold corpses by now.
Moreover, Andre just pressed himself down, trying his best to protect himself. This is a man you can entrust your life to!
"What's wrong with you?" Looking at Andre's frowning face, Ekaterina asked with concern.
"It feels like I was hit by a bullet in the abdomen and it hurts a lot," said Andre.
"Let me see." Ekaterina sat up with force and helped Andrei lean against the front of the berth. If someone was shot, the first thing to do was to stop the bleeding. Many wounded died from excessive blood loss.
She looked down, but there was no blood? Then she looked at Andrei's appearance, and he didn't look fake. Ekaterina immediately understood that she had pinched him too hard, and Andrei felt like he was shot.
"It's okay." Ekaterina said. All the passengers in the car had run away by now, and Gromov ran back.
"How is it? Did you catch him?" asked Ekaterina.
"The glass of the toilet had been broken in advance, and the woman jumped out of the window and ran away." Gromov said, "The train will stop at the small station ahead. I will notify the local garrison to search. The woman will not be able to escape."
"Are you a KGB agent?" Andrei looked at Gromov. "Are you here to protect me? I didn't know that a Soviet hero could be treated this way? Thank you very much."
If it weren't for this agent, Andrei would definitely be dead here today. So, although Andrei was very dissatisfied with the KGB chief named Shelov at the beginning, he still didn't wear tinted glasses and denied all the KGB people.
The other party didn't say anything, just smiled.
