Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1561

I looked at Xiao Hei with some despair and asked, "Is there any hope?"

Xiao Hei didn't answer my question, but continued to carefully observe the bomb, listening to the tick-tock countdown, my heart was already in my throat, the bomb that might explode at any time would blow us up to the sky, but Shiyou did not Very calm, just sitting on the sidelines, not in a hurry!

Xiao Hei wiped off the dust on the surface, began to dig out the soil around the bomb, turned around, and then seemed to find a breakthrough point, took out a small screwdriver for repairing clocks and watches, gently unscrewed the screw, and then said to me : "I'm here, you are over there, let's lift up the upper control panel together, it must be level, lift it up bit by bit!"

My hands were trembling badly, I took a deep breath, then gently lifted the panel together with Xiao Hei, and saw a bunch of wires inside, I looked it over quickly, and said: "The control voltage of 6V, the level meter on it If the angle is greater than 5°, it will trigger the current, output voltage, and start the bomb device below. Can you raise it up a little more, let me see the connection line under the level meter, stand on the connection, and I can put the trigger device on the top tear down!"

Xiao Hei hummed and said, "I'll count one, two, three, and lift them up together! One, two, three..."

We rose a little higher, and we could clearly see that the mercury on the spirit level had tilted a little, making us nervous again.

I hurriedly shouted: "Stop, I can't move!"

I held the spirit level with one hand, and kept the other hand to prevent dust from flying in. I looked under the meter again. There were four very tiny connecting lines, all of which were the same color, and I couldn’t tell which one was what. Function?

I looked at Xiao Hei questioningly, Xiao Hei was obviously confused, and I complained: "Don't you know how to disassemble it? Which one to cut?"

Xiao Hei Hei glanced at me and said: "I only saw it once, how do I know how to dismantle it?"

I started to look down, where did the four wires go?After analyzing it, I decisively cut off one, startled Xiao Hei, and blamed me: "Why don't you just cut it without telling me! At least let me prepare myself!"

I analyzed: "This line should be connected to the rechargeable battery. If the battery is dead, the bomb will not explode!"

Xiao Hei let out an ah, and asked happily, "You mean it's done?"

I hurriedly said: "Don't move your hands! I mean, this is the battery that charges this equipment. Now this bomb is fully charged, and that one is for backup!"

Xiao Hei sighed, and said impatiently: "Then you cut all the threads!"

I groaned and said, "It's all cut? I don't even know what those three lines are for? How dare you cut it? If you cut it, it might explode right away! I'll have a look later!"

But Xiao Hei was a little uneasy and said: "Didn't you hear that the ticking is getting faster and faster, I guess it will explode soon, at least you can see how much time is left?"

I rolled my eyes and said, "Didn't you dismantle it? Why is it my turn to see it now? Where should I go to see it!?"

After all, I still have to move my hands. I will first find a way to remove the level above it. I thought, since it can be installed, it should be able to be disassembled. If there is a slight gap, the bomb will explode at any time when it is not loaded?
Thinking of this, I calmed down again and imagined the internal structure of the bomb, which is nothing more than the starting device, the gunpowder device, and a trigger device. The most powerful gunpowder device should be placed under the mouth, so the trigger device above The spirit level has been disassembled in half, just find a way to find the connection to the starting device, there are three wires left, using the method of elimination, there are only two wires left to choose, and I pulled it out gently by hand, and one wire was actually taken by me. Pull it out, now there is only one line to choose, cut it off, the whole person is still, waiting for the result, it didn't blow up, finally closed another level! "

But when I saw the device below, I immediately wanted to give up. A big iron box was welded airtight. There was only one wire connected to it, and I cut it off. There was still a ticking sound coming from inside the iron box. The sound, is another bomb on its own.

I scolded: "This is a fucking nest of bombs? They won't give up until they blow us up to the sky! How do you dismantle this thing? There isn't even a crack!"

Xiao Hei also wanted to give up: "If you don't want to find something to cover him, we may run as far as we can, and we may still have a chance of survival! This is not big, and I don't know if there are bombs down there ?”

I knew that if I gave up at this time, the previous work would be in vain, so I started to study again and dug up all the soil around the iron box again. I saw that there seemed to be a gap at the bottom, so I gently pried it with a small screwdriver. Only to find out that it is an iron cover without a bottom!

I just don't know if there is a welding wire on the iron cover, and I can only pull it up slowly, and I can only experience it by feeling, whether there is a connection on it.

Fortunately, this is an iron box without a bottom, and finally saw the time bomb inside, the time on it is only 1:00 left to count down.

I can clearly see the C4 label below. I know how powerful this thing is. Looking at Xiao Hei, I said, "This is up to you, the one on top was disassembled by you, and you probably can do this." !"

Xiao Hei shook his head and said, "I was lucky too, do you want to try my luck again?"

I wiped the sweat from my forehead and said, "Don't even think about it, try it, anyway, there's only one minute left!"

Then he looked at Shiyou and said, "The last level is over!"

Shiyou smiled and nodded to me.

Xiao Hei picked up the two threads, smiled at me and said, "It's so fucking exciting to be with you in this life, come and cut it!"

Watching the last 30 seconds, I picked up the scissors, selected the red line, and said, "See you in the next life, our good brothers!"

After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes, cut the red thread with a pair of scissors, and waited for the fate to come.

But the clock was still counting down and didn't stop, I was completely desperate, I moved forward to save Xiao Hei, and sat with Shiyou, waiting for the bomb to blow us to pieces.

A miracle happened. When the clock read the last second, nothing happened. I slowly opened my eyes, stared at the bomb, looked at it with lingering fear and said, "It didn't explode! What's going on? Is this clock a joke? Isn’t it a countdown? It’s just for us to see something?”

Xiao Hei put his arms around me and said with a smile: "Probably so! Let's go, don't delay, maybe there will be an explosion sometime, the farther you go, the better!"

I hummed, helped Shiyou up, and found that he was also sweating all over, and his feet were limp, so I smiled and said, "I thought you were not afraid of anything!"

Shiyou smiled awkwardly and said, "How can it be possible to say that you are not afraid of death? Who would not be afraid of death? It is always good to live one more day!"

We walked out of the yard, saw Nangong and the others in the distance, and waved to them, but seeing Yaoyang lying on the ground, he felt nervous again after relaxing just now.

When he got closer, he found that Yaoyang no longer had a painful expression, but seemed to be in a deep sleep.

Nangong said with a smile: "Don't worry, I've already given him the antidote, he fell asleep, and he'll be fine when he wakes up!"

I hummed and looked for the pair of siblings. Nangong said, "I let them go. I promise that as long as they hand over the antidote, I will let them go! If you want to make trouble for them, just wait until the next time you see them." Yes, I don't care, now I have to fulfill my promise!"

I smiled and said: "Yaoyang is fine as long as it's okay! I also killed their father, and they should seek revenge from me! I can understand them, but I'm just curious. With the skills of their siblings, how could it be possible to install such a professional bomb?" What? This is unlikely? There are people behind the scenes, besides, how did they know their father was dead so quickly, and ambushed us here in advance, don’t you think it’s strange? They should stay for an interrogation!”

Nangong explained: "It should be informed by the people on the other side of the operation that their headquarters has laid a net to kill us! This road is one of the two roads leading to Vientiane. It has been sealed off, and this is the only road left." It’s over, it’s very possible that they’ve made preparations in advance! They’re afraid that we’ll trouble them, so they’ve set up so many roadblocks! Unfortunately, they still can’t stop us!”

I groaned and asked, "People in this village really listen to you? What's going on here?"

Nangong thought I was suspicious of her, and said displeasedly: "You don't think that everyone in this village belongs to me, do you? If the bomb goes off, I won't be able to live either!"

I hurriedly shook my head and said: "You misunderstood, I just see that they seem to be afraid of you, just curious!"

Nangong groaned and explained: "They know who I am, so they are naturally afraid of me! Many of their children are sent to our family to be raised. They know our strength, and they rely on us to make a fortune. !"

I cut it and said, "Just by selling children?"

Nangong sighed and said: "Otherwise, what can they do, work in the fields for the rest of their lives? In the end, they don't want to eat the crops they grow. If they want to change, they have to ask their family members to produce one that will make money. people, even if they make killing as a profession! You don’t understand how hard life is for people like them!”

I pursed my lips and said, "How do you know that I can't understand their hardships? Who hasn't lived through a hard life!? Then you can't use this as an excuse to kill people, right?"

Nangong shrugged and said, "This is not an excuse, it's the truth!"

I groaned, not wanting to argue with her, and asked, "Did you get the fake passport?"

Nangong shook his head and said: "It's not that fast, we can't find any of our clansmen who were here before! I guess they all defected to Hongmen with Elder Guangdi! We have to think of other ways!"

I thought for a while and said: "Then we can't go to Vientiane. There are too many policemen there. If one is not careful, we will be wiped out. Let's take another road to Luang Prabang. Without a passport, we are on the way." Find a way!"

In fact, I still think about that Alcatraz Island in my heart, wondering where is it?Will Mr. Du go somewhere?He may not be in Vientiane at all, he is just a remote command!Let me have a misunderstanding, thinking that he didn't leave, he was in Vientiane, let's go and throw ourselves into the trap!
After deciding to change the route, we went to the village to find some supplies, and we set off as soon as Yaoyang woke up.

This village is really poor, no wonder they have to sell their children in exchange for a chance to change their lives!
Only in the courtyard of the sister and brother did we find some dry food, but seeing the bomb on the ground, we still had lingering fears, so we rummaged through it casually and left immediately.

After nightfall, Yaoyang woke up slowly, stretched his waist, seemed to have forgotten about his poisoning, saw that it was dark, and planned to sleep for a while, but was woken up by my slap: Sleep? If you sleep again, you will die of sleep!"

Yaoyang touched his face, and said dissatisfiedly: "Then why are you beating me? It's already dark, if you don't sleep, what are you going to do?"

I pouted and said, "Do you know, how long have you been sleeping? Are you still sleeping? Do you remember that you were poisoned?"

Yaoyang slapped his head and said, "Oh, I'm sleepy! Did you save me? It hurt me. What kind of poison is this? Why are you all alright?"

Nangong explained: "This is a kind of Gu poison from Yunnan. After eating it, it will hurt your heart. After a long time, you will be hurt to death! After taking the antidote, you will feel sleepy. However, Wake up and you'll be fine!"

Yaoyang said with a oh: "Thank you, you saved our lives again!"

I didn't talk nonsense with him, but asked, "Can you go? If you can, let's start now. I'm afraid that if I stay here for a long time, those dogs will catch up again!"

Yaoyang stood up, moved a bit and said: "It's okay, let's go!"

Originally, we had just entered the urban area, and we could see places with people, but the road to Luang Prabang was a mountain road again, and we returned to the mountain again, but it was not like before, full of cliffs and cliffs everywhere. The road someone walked.

A fork in the road, so we don't know how to go, the direction should be to choose the road on the left, which is also marked on it, it is the road to Luang Prabang, and the road sign on the right has nothing marked, just a skull The head has a big fork, which arouses my interest instead.

For those of us who are adventurous, choosing the right is the most correct decision for us.

No objection, unanimously go to the right.

After a few times of dangerous situations, everyone seems to have grown a lot more courageous. The more difficult the road is, the more we want to try it.

The further you go, the narrower the road will be, and the fewer passers-by will confuse you.

An inland lake blocked our way. This inland lake is really big. We can hardly see the other side. Without a boat, we can't get across at all. I have no problem swimming, but some of us can't swim, so we have to think about it. Then go back the same way!
