Chapter 70 Chapter 68 Escape From the Fire
"This is the situation on my side. All that's left is to sort out the goods." Zhuang Xuteng lowered his voice and talked to Dao Ge. "How are you preparing?"
"Everything is ready. I'm already in place, just outside the south wall, and I can act at any time."
"Stay away from the wall, we're going to rush out." Zhuang Xuteng said, "Go west first, then east, remember."
Seeing that the time was approaching one o'clock in the morning, now was the best time to act. Zhuang Xuteng and Buck came to the door of the warehouse to take a last look, find the parking position of the Fire Tower Gang's motorcycle, and then prepare to start the vehicles separately. They planned to start the two cars on the east and west sides first, crash out, stop in the yard as a cover, and then drive the middle truck together to crash into the wall and rush out.
"Someone is coming!" Zhuang Xuteng saw two thugs from the Fire Tower Gang coming from the restaurant on the west side of the yard. They were shoulder to shoulder, holding bulging bags in their hands, which looked like lunch boxes and water bottles. They might come to provide Buck with food and water, and check the situation of the truck by the way.
Either let Buck act and pretend to be still locked in the car, or start to act immediately and rush out! Zhuang Xuteng made a decision immediately and rushed out!
"Start all the cars and move immediately. I will stop them." Zhuang Xuteng said to Buck: "If we miss this opportunity, we will be blocked in the yard by PCPD, and then everything will be over!"
"Ah? OK... OK!" Buck walked towards the car with a look in his eyes. After Zhuang Xuteng glared at him fiercely, he quickened his pace.
The Millennium God of War II truck has electric power. Using the stored electric energy, it can quickly start the car and move a short distance until the temperature, pressure and power of the steam engine catch up. From the warehouse to the south wall, the distance in between is only seven or eight meters, and only an electric motor is needed. The only thing to worry about is insufficient power, short acceleration distance, and insufficient impact force. So let the east and west cars hit the wall first, and the middle car will have a better chance when rushing out.
When the electric motor starts running, the steam engine will also enter the starting process, and naturally make a rumbling sound. When the first car started, two thugs from the Huota Gang who were delivering food just walked into the warehouse. Zhuang Xuteng had been hiding by the door, raising his finger to aim at the height of an ordinary person's head. He adjusted his breathing and prepared to shoot.
The first person illuminated with a flashlight and just saw Buck moving towards the third car. He shouted loudly, and just after taking three steps forward, he felt a flash behind him.
Zhuang Xuteng fired in the shadows, knocking down the second person who entered with one shot, and then aimed at the one in front.
The man threw a flashlight at Zhuang Xuteng and then pounced on him. Zhuang Xuteng understood his actions and reactions, but did not let him succeed. He fired decisively, and the second person fell down.
Including opening handcuffs and unlocking, he had fired eight shots today. Even though the bone spear pistol did not bite much, his arm began to suffer adverse reactions. The cold breath wrapped around his arm, as if the twelfth lunar month had arrived early, and he had just poured cold water on his arm and stood shirtless in the cold wind.
He kept flexing and stretching his arms to speed up blood circulation to reduce the side effects of the pistol. Of course, the simpler way is to switch the pistol to the other hand and let the two arms alternately bear the pressure.
Zhuang Xuteng switched the pistol to his left hand, and the three cars were unlocked. Buck stuck his head out of the cab of the car at the westernmost end of the warehouse, wanting to shout but not daring to shout: "I... I'm fine, how are you? How are they?"
"They are all dead, I'll honk the horn in a while, and we'll reverse together!"
"All dead... OK!" Buck responded and got back into the cab.
Now Buck has no way out, he can only continue to follow Zhuang Xuteng and jump out of the pit of the Fire Tower Gang. He gritted his teeth, repeated the box of communication equipment he got twice in his mind, thinking about the profit he could get from selling them, and then he had the courage to do it.
"Action." Zhuang Xuteng said on the intercom. At the same time as the intercom heard three knocks, he pressed the horn and stepped on the accelerator.
The truck started to move backwards, the motor was working as hard as it could, but the weight of the truck was there, so it couldn't fly out in one step. So, the two trucks started one after another and hit the warehouse door one after another. Both drivers felt the body of the truck shake and bump, the speed paused for a moment, and then continued to "move forward".
The forward here is of course moving backwards. The two trucks pushed the warehouse door open and then sat down on the south wall. Under the butt of the western truck, there were three motorcycle bodies. They were sandwiched between the truck and the brick wall, broken like building blocks. There were only two loud bangs, and the rear of the truck poked into the south wall, pierced through the south wall, and then the whole truck stopped, just across the road.
The restaurant on the west side and the office building on the east side were alarmed, and the people from the Fire Tower Gang would come out soon. Zhuang Xuteng and Buck got off the car as fast as possible, entered the broken warehouse door, and rushed to the remaining truck in the middle. At this time, Ge Gongdao started to act outside. He threw burning oil barrels mixed with accelerants through the wall according to the traces left by the truck crash, burning the west side first and then the east side.
Ge Gongdao knew how to prepare incendiary materials that could ignite steel, and Zhuang Xuteng helped him improve the formula based on what he learned during training. Each vehicle could be allocated two boxes of incendiary materials. Unless the fire-fighting equipment of the Huota Gang could reach the level of the PCPD Fire Department, they could only watch the fire burn.
"You drive, I'll deal with the pursuers outside!" Zhuang Xuteng shouted to Buck, then jumped into the back compartment. The back of the container truck was open, with a container placed on it, fixed with ropes on the top and sides, and anchored at the bottom. Zhuang Xuteng came to the position between the container and the cab, which was where Buck had slept before. The space here is very suitable for standing, and it can also move left and right, taking care of both sides of the vehicle.
"Where are you going?" Buck asked.
"Go straight back first, and then turn at the end of the alley. It doesn't matter whether you go left or right, I will show you the way! Now, step on the accelerator!"
The truck shook for a while, then began to retreat. Zhuang Xuteng hurriedly looked for a place to grab and used the container to hide himself. First, the car broke through the warehouse door and shook all over, then it continued to accelerate and slammed into the south wall.
It didn't look back even after hitting the south wall! In a violent jolt, the truck broke through the obstruction of the south wall, threw away the bricks, and rushed onto the street ferociously. The broken corner was just an incompetent obstacle. The Ares truck bumped, pressed, and smashed it and ran over it. The whole truck shook up and down like a wave. Buck, who was wearing a seat belt, also hit his head. If Zhuang Xuteng had not held on to the iron chain that fixed the container tightly, he would have been thrown out long ago.
Headache, arm pain, leg pain, all the bumps and bumps hurt. But Zhuang Xuteng didn't care about the pain. He still had important tasks. One was to assess the fire and confirm that the fire burned in from the open container door and ignited the goods inside. He had to describe the fire to Ge Gongdao outside the wall to decide whether Daoge needed to burn it again to meet the client's requirements.
The other was to throw the most valuable box to him.
The fire burned very vigorously and accurately, and there was no need to add unnecessary details. Zhuang Xuteng picked up the silver box he had hidden before and threw it to the east while the car rushed out of the south wall. He and Ge Gongdao agreed to set the fire from the west first and then from the east, so that Dao Ge would definitely be in the east, and it would be best to go there. Moreover, the truck cab was on the left, so when reversing to the south, it would be on the west side. The east side was a less sensitive direction for Buck. That person was not their partner, so the less exposed the better.
The cargo box flew out and fell to the ground, and then the truck rushed south into the alley. Buck looked at the rearview mirror nervously, and tried to control the steering wheel according to his own observations and Zhuang Xuteng's instructions. The long-distance reversing of such a long truck is very technical. If it hits the buildings on both sides, it will be quite troublesome to deal with.
The truck just hit the south wall and bumped through obstacles, so it was of course very difficult to control. Fortunately, Zhuang Xuteng and Buck both knew how to drive trucks, and they both knew how to adjust the direction and how much force to use. Zhuang Xuteng's instructions were correct and predictable. The temporary but tacit cooperation of the two people made the truck find its direction and move straight along the alley.
"There is garbage on the right side, there will be a collision, pay attention to the compensation direction." Zhuang Xuteng shouted outside the cab, listening to Buck's answer while listening to Ge Gongdao's communication.
"I picked it up, I'll go back to the car first and catch up with you from the east." Ge Gongdao was panting while speaking, and it seemed that he had been running a lot. "PCPD will arrive in ten minutes, so don't run around on the street then. Oh, damn, the off-road vehicle of the Fire Tower Gang! They are on East Street and coming from the north!"
"Hide quickly and don't run into them!" Zhuang Xuteng said anxiously.
"I'm in the car, they don't seem to see me." Ge Gongdao took a few breaths and said, "There are two cars in total, one row of drivers in the front and an open truck bed in the back. I saw the harpoon launcher and three gangsters, plus the driver, four people in each car. They must be chasing you, don't be nervous, I'm coming!"
"You drive away with the things first!" Zhuang Xuteng said.
"Leave you to them? I can't do that." From the sound, Dao Ge's car has started chasing, and the roar of the engine can be clearly heard. "Trucks can't run faster than off-road vehicles, they will catch up with you soon. I will deal with them for you, you have to be careful!"
"Deal with them? You are alone, how can you deal with them?"
"I'm faster than them, they can't hit me. Okay, stop talking nonsense, they have turned into the alley!"
"I saw them, ready to shoot." Zhuang Xuteng said: "You should be careful too."
