Chapter 1700
What are you all doing here?
After Wang An finished speaking, Mu Xueli and the other two hid behind a tree, then only showed one eye to aim, staring intently at the tent.
Looking towards the tent from Wang An's perspective, the four bandits could see four horses that had arrived, a bandit lying there seemingly dead, and another bandit who had been shot but was still struggling.
After observing for a while, Wang An saw that the two bandits who had hidden showed no signs of coming out, so he moved his gun again and shot the struggling bandit dead.
The main reason was that the struggling bandit had already spotted the hiding place of Wang An and his three companions, and Wang An was afraid that he would inform his accomplices.
After firing the first shot, Wang An thought for a moment and said:
"Xue Li, Xiao Zhong, you two stay here. Shoot them as soon as they show their heads. If they don't show their heads, don't shoot. Just stay hidden. Lao Wu, come with me. We'll go around to the side of the tent and attack them from both sides."
After a pause, Wang An then spoke to Mu Xueli and Huang Zhong:
"Once we've confirmed it's safe, we'll wave to you. Then you two go and lead Little White and Little Black on their leashes. Oh, and where's that 'stick bun'? Did you bring it over?"
Wang Li immediately replied:
"They didn't take the steamed bun with the stick; they told me to just throw it on the ground, right there in the pit where they used to carry the stick."
Wang An casually remarked:
"Okay, then you two shouldn't forget to take it later."
After saying that, Wang An took two steps back, turned around and ran westward. Wang Li didn't say anything and ran after Wang An.
When setting up the tent yesterday, Wang An carefully observed the surrounding terrain, so he knew exactly where the bandits were and where it would be best to fire.
However, there is one downside to living in these mountains: the mountains may look close from one side, but they are actually quite far apart. This is exactly what the old saying "looking at a mountain makes a horse run itself to death" means.
Wang An and Wang Li sprinted for a good fifteen or sixteen minutes before finally reaching the shooting location that Wang An had envisioned.
Upon arriving at the shooting location, Wang An first observed the two bandits. He saw that the two bandits were lying in front of the tent, carefully cutting the tent with a knife.
Clearly, the two men wanted to cut a hole in the tent so they could either crawl inside or try to find a way out of their predicament.
Fortunately, this tent was a military tent that Wu Dong got from their logistics department. The quality was excellent, and it was not an easy task to cut it however he wanted, like cutting ordinary cloth with a knife.
Of course, the reason why these two bandits had such difficulty cutting was not only because the tent material was relatively sturdy, but also mainly because the two of them were in a prone position and dared not make any big movements, for fear of attracting the attention of Wang An and others, who would then shoot them a few times through the tent.
However, it must be said that the location Wang An chose for setting up the tent was truly baffling.
The main problem is that there isn't a single well-hidden hiding place in sight. The nearest grove of trees is more than 30 meters away, and that 30-meter distance has become an insurmountable chasm.
Although a normal person can run 50 meters in 10 seconds, the most deadly thing is that no matter how fast you run, you still can't outrun a bullet.
After observing the two bandits, Wang An didn't rush to make a move. Instead, he waited until he had caught his breath before speaking to Wang Li:
“We’ll each take one. I’ll take the one on the east side, and you take the one on the west side. Kill yours directly, but leave mine alive. We can ask them what they do and if they have any accomplices later.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Li casually agreed, "Yes, Fourth Brother, I know. But if we fire, won't the tent be riddled with holes?"
Wang An said helplessly:
"Even if we shoot them, there's nothing we can do. We can't just let them go. Damn it, we run into bandits even when we're out carrying sticks. Our luck is just unbelievable."
Wang Li continued:
“I saw on TV that there’s a nationwide crackdown on sanitation. I think these people are afraid that their past mistakes will be brought up again, so they’ve come to hide in these mountains. I think they’ll all leave once this storm passes.”
After Wang Li finished speaking, Wang An looked at Wang Li with great surprise and said:
"Fifth brother, you're something else! You're quite serious, you even know how to care about national affairs now, hahaha. This guy, you've analyzed it so logically."
Wang Li chuckled and said:
"This is not my analysis, it's all what they said on TV. They also said that the public should actively provide clues and that we should continue to fight against criminals."
Wang An chuckled and nodded, saying:
"Okay, good. Are you ready? Let's get started. I'll count to three, and then we'll fire together."
Wang Li suddenly became serious and said:
"Yes, Fourth Brother, I've already prepared everything."
Without wasting any words, Wang An counted down: "1, 2, 3."
As the number "3" fell, a chorus of gunshots rang out.
Of course, Wang Li only fired one shot, while Wang An fired four.
After the gunshots, unsurprisingly, the bandit Wang Li was in charge of had his head smashed to pieces by bullets and went straight to meet Buddha.
The bandit under Wang An's command was shot in both shoulders and the upper thighs below his buttocks, leaving him crippled in all four limbs.
There was no way around it; when Wang An handled matters, especially those like this, he always made sure everything was foolproof.
We must make sure the other party is completely incapable of resisting, otherwise, when we interrogate them, even if they get agitated and spill blood all over us, that would be a really unpleasant situation!
After firing their guns, Wang An and Wang Li emerged from behind the tree and walked toward the tent. When they reached the tent, Wang An raised his arm and waved toward Mu Xueli and Huang Zhong, not caring whether the two saw him or not, and then walked toward the bandit who was still wailing.
As soon as he got close, Wang An smiled and said to the wailing bandit:
"Brother, what are you guys doing here? And you're all armed with those long guns and cannons, hehehe. Sorry, you've been shot so badly you're practically unrecognizable, damn it."
As he spoke, Wang An stepped on the bandit's hand, which was still gripping the gun, and stomped on it with great force, as if he were stomping on a cigarette butt.
The bandit immediately shouted even louder, but then he cursed:
"You damn little bastard, if you've got the guts, just shoot me!" (End of Chapter)
