Chapter 214 The Thief Li Hou
Chapter 214 The Thief Li Hou
Bai Luo pulled Li Hou out of the drainage ditch.
Then he carefully examined the person in front of him. He was about 1.5 meters tall and weighed no more than 90 kilograms.
Judging from his appearance, he should be in his thirties. He was dressed in all black and had a headlamp on his head. He had dark skin, a thin face, and looked like a monkey.
Li Hou's eyes also fell on the person who had lifted him up. The person was half a head shorter than him and dressed in a strange black outfit.
He was carrying a weapon resembling a submachine gun on his back.
From being easily lifted up to the hand covering my mouth that I couldn't pry off no matter what I did.
Li Hou knew he was no match for his opponent.
Then my mind started racing, trying to figure out what this person in front of me wanted and how I could get away.
Bai Luo didn't have time to care what Li Hou was thinking. She led him to an alley where Sha Niu and Sha Xiong were hiding.
When Li Hou was dragged into the alley by Bai Luo, he was shocked to find that not only were there this man's accomplices, but there was also a bear.
He thought to himself that the chances of escaping were now even slimmer.
Only then did Bai Luo release Li Hou's mouth. He went straight to the point and asked.
Where does that underground drainpipe lead?
Li Hou was brought back to his senses by Bai Luo's question. Without thinking, he answered instinctively.
"Ah, a storage room leading to the Japanese armory."
Li Hou immediately realized what he had just said.
"Why are you asking this? Are you also eyeing the gold inside?"
"Huh? There's gold inside? Isn't this an armory?"
Bai Luo asked, puzzled, after hearing Li Hou's words.
Hearing this, Li Hou could roughly confirm that Bai Luo and he both had designs on the Japanese armory, one for weapons and the other for gold.
Thinking of this, Li Hou had a sudden inspiration. An idea popped into his mind. Looking at the equipment of the two people in front of him, they were clearly not ordinary people.
He suggested they could work together; he had just checked and realized he couldn't get close to the small warehouse where the gold was stored by himself.
Even if those two people also want gold, it doesn't matter; I can't possibly take all the gold there.
So Li Hou tentatively said something.
"How about we team up?"
Bai Luo raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
asked curiously.
"Oh? How can we cooperate? We've only been together for less than five minutes. Aren't you afraid I'll double-cross you, or are you up to something?"
Li Hou chuckled dryly, thinking to himself, "You've already caught me, and now you're asking where the drainage pipes lead. Even if I didn't mention cooperation, I probably wouldn't be able to leave."
But he showed no sign of dissatisfaction on his face.
“There’s a lot of gold in there, more than we could possibly take, so there’s no question of us stealing it. Besides, the warehouse is heavily guarded; I couldn’t get in alone without anyone helping me.”
To show his sincerity, Li Hou then revealed his name, the location of the warehouse, and all the information he had gathered during his scouting trip over the past few days.
"Wait, you said you've been here for the past few days, did you see any Japanese soldiers bringing anything in this morning?"
Upon hearing that Li Hou had been here for the past few days, Bai Luo quickly pressed for details.
"Yes, there were 12 trucks in total, all transporting boxes, but I don't know exactly what they were."
Do you know where it's stored?
Bai Luo never expected to hear about poison gas bombs from Li Hou.
He asked, somewhat excitedly.
"It was in the largest warehouse next to the warehouse where the gold was stored. I saw them unloading the boxes with my telescopic vision."
Li Hou affirmed.
Bai Luo clapped his hands.
"Let's go, let's get started."
Upon hearing this, Li Hou quickly tried to dissuade him.
"No, no, the inside is surrounded by the Japanese like an iron barrel. Even if we go in, we won't be able to move an inch."
I mean, let's wait two more days before taking action.
Upon hearing this, Bai Luo glanced at Li Hou and said.
"Okay, then let's meet here at 9 pm tomorrow night?"
"Okay. I'll head out now?"
Li Hou tentatively asked, "It seems the person on the other side is going to let me go."
Li Hou couldn't help but feel a little happy. He hadn't expected to escape this calamity so easily and leave so easily.
He was prepared to be taken away by this person.
Bai Luo nodded to him.
Upon seeing this, Li Hou immediately turned and walked out of the alley.
But as soon as he turned around, he felt a pain in the back of his head and then fainted.
Before he lost consciousness, Li Hou thought to himself that he knew the authorities wouldn't let him off so easily.
"Huh, why did Xiao Luo knock him out?"
"I'm afraid he might mess things up. We don't know where this person comes from, so it's better to be cautious."
"You stay outside and follow my instructions. Silly Bear and I will go in."
"it is good."
The silly girl obediently nodded.
As he spoke, Bai Luo took out a Japanese Type 97 mortar and three shells from his spatial storage.
They selected a suitable location and adjusted the coordinates to a spot not far in front of a machine gun emplacement not far from the warehouse Li Hou had mentioned.
Li Hou's words could not be completely trusted, so Bai Luo only dared to target the Japanese soldiers and did not aim at any warehouse locations.
Then he took out two rocket launchers from his spatial storage and handed them to the silly girl.
"When I tell you to fire, just fire three shells and run away immediately. Don't worry about the mortar."
These two rockets are just in case; use them if necessary.
Upon hearing Bai Luo's words, Silly Girl immediately slung two rocket launchers onto her body.
They then simply climbed over the nearest wall and hid.
Bai Luo and Sha Xiong crawled into the manhole cover that Li Hou had come out of.
Ten minutes later, the floor of a storage room was lifted up.
Bai Luo and Sha Xiong crawled out from below.
According to Li Hou's description, Bai Luo leaned against the window of the storage room and saw the small warehouse where the gold was stored. Following the location of the small warehouse, he then turned his gaze to the large warehouse next door.
Looking at the large warehouse that was exactly the same as the one in An County, Bai Luo thought to himself that this should be his target.
Bai Luo, who was hiding in the storage room, did not act immediately, but spent more than 10 minutes observing the time difference of the Japanese patrol.
But there were quite a few Japanese patrols here, and the time difference was about 2 minutes.
Moreover, there was a Japanese machine gun position about 10 meters away from the entrance of the storeroom.
The field of fire can cover both large and small warehouses.
Japanese soldiers also guarded the entrance to the small warehouse next door where gold was stored.
There were four Japanese soldiers in total, two mobile sentries and two stationary sentries.
If Bai Luo wants to get close to the large warehouse, he has to pass by the back wall of this small warehouse.
However, the distance between his storage room and the small warehouse was more than 20 meters, making it easy for the Japanese sentries at the main gate to spot him.
As for the machine gun emplacement near the entrance, one could walk through the back window of the storage room to avoid its line of sight.
After observing Bai Luo for a long time, he still wasn't confident that he could silently take out both the machine gun position and the Japanese soldiers guarding the entrance to the small warehouse.
It seems the only option is to have the silly girl make some noise to divert the Japanese soldiers' attention.
