Zhu Tian: The Fiery Years Begin with Taking Qin Huairu as a Concubine

Chapter 222 Bullet Shells Flying in the Air

I didn't say take a break!
Lin Xiaoniang said quickly:
"Master! Sister Huizhen and I didn't say that. Neither of us mentioned taking a holiday! You just need to punish them severely. Huizhen and I are innocent!"

Zhang Kaiwu looked at her and Huizhen's hopeful eyes and said with a smile:

"Oh, right! I almost forgot about you two. You have the same request because you are of the same nature. You are all a bunch of people who are just messing around and have no ambition. So we have to be fair and just. I have to check it every day!"

Lin Xiaoniang was so angry that her teeth were itching. She stared at him but did not dare to speak.

Sister Huizhen didn't even dare to look up, for fear that she would be assigned a task of twenty words at once.

Zhang Kaiwu looked at her with a smile and said:
"Little girl! Our family is not feudal, we believe in democracy and freedom. If you have any opinions, you can raise them and discuss and get things done."

The eyes of several women lit up and they were about to start explaining that they were already working and there was no need to study anymore.

Zhang Kaiwu stared at them and continued:

"How about being fair! You guys stop hanging around in the research institute, or you can go to school next year and I'll give you normal vacation time!"

Chen Xueru and the others were too embarrassed to refute his opinion and lowered their heads to eat.

The young ladies and sisters were no longer surprised. Liang Ladi looked at Qin Huairu with contempt.

Whispering softly:

"Sister Huairu! What are you afraid of studying? Brother Kaiwu is doing this for your own good. There are so many people who want to study but can't!"

"Studying is fun. Just sit up straight. The teachers won't hit you easily. You will only be beaten if you are too naughty. I only got spanked once for dozing off. I was never spanked at other times."

Zhang Kaiwu rubbed Liang Ladi and praised her:

"Very good! Ladi! You should know that studying is the only way to have a future. Living a lazy life is not easy!"

Liang Ladi said excitedly:

"Brother Kaiwu! I will supervise Sister Huairu's studies in the future. If she doesn't take it seriously, I will tell you, go beat her up!"

Qin Huairu was heartbroken and had no interest in arguing with her. Studying was not as joyful as slacking off at work.

Chatting, eating snacks, drinking tea, and bragging with Huizhen and the others, the sisters can have a happy day in the warehouse.

It was the first time that Baofeng and Huizhi saw him encourage others to study, and he looked so domineering.

The two of them did not feel that studying was hard. On the contrary, they liked it very much. They had suffered so much at such a young age, and studying was a very happy thing for them.

As long as Zhang Kaiwu doesn't sell them out, they will try their best in anything.

What’s the point of studying while eating and drinking well? This is for their own good, so that they can practice their skills.

Zhu Zhiyin and Xiaohua smiled as they watched Huairu and the others resist weakly. Zhang Kaiwu either ignored it or made a decision, but once he made it, there was no way he would change his mind.

They should be smarter and know that Zhang Kaiwu will only get worse.

In the evening, Zhang Kaiwu encouraged the Liang Ladi sisters, Baofeng and Huizhi.

He then went over and beat up the four people who didn't want to study seriously.

They were beaten so hard that they cried out to their fathers for mercy and promised to study hard with tears.

When Huairu was sleeping there at night, she kept asking in her dreams:

"Young lady! How do you pronounce this word? Why have I forgotten it again?"

Zhang Kaiwu slapped her in the face, and Huairu fell asleep again in a shy manner.

His mental power was sharp, and he had little sleep to begin with. The current situation was tense, so he slept even less.

Today's conversation with Ye Tingting gave him a warning. He should not always pin his hopes on the pity of others.

………………

It was as if the lake behind the yard had frozen over without anyone noticing, and as if it had happened overnight, Peking had been besieged for half a month.

There are strange news in the newspapers every day. The most news is about Principal Hu, and there is also a lot of news about Zhang Kaiwu.

There are so many right and wrongs, and there is rarely any real news, just rumors.

As preparations for war began at the medical school, newspapers were pasted on all the glass windows, leaving only a gap for observation outside.

The glass in the small building of the virus research institute at home is the same. This not only prevents shells from shattering the glass and injuring people.

It can also prevent others from seeing you and launching a sneak attack.

Maybe this method is the simplest version of bulletproof glass.

The medical school also organized a student guard team, who patrolled the school with batons and whistles.

The nurses also gathered in groups, and when they had nothing to do, they would just hang around with sticks in their hands.

If Zhang Kaiwu were asked to evaluate their fighting ability, they are much better than those students, because these nurses run with boxes on their backs every day, and run with people on stretchers, and they are as strong as bulls.

It is said that the Peking University and the Normal University in Peking were relatively poor and the schools were public and very unsafe. The students even bought guns and ammunition themselves and formed a school protection army.

Although Yenching and Tsinghua are safe, there are not many teachers and students left. Basically, everyone has left, and less than half are left.

Because they have money, rich people always run faster.

There is no need to use guns in the medical school because there is a machine gun position at the entrance, so the security is much higher.

Of the four airports in Peking, three have been abandoned and now it has become one airport.

There is only one city gate, Dongzhimen, which is opened occasionally.

Considering the lives of the people in Peking, in order to prevent these people from starving to death.

Even vegetable farmers and camel and horse caravans delivering coal were allowed into the city, but only for a few hours.

The power supply in the city only lasts for a few hours, and the medical school has already started to generate its own electricity.

Dean Zhu and his colleagues were surprised to find that Zhang Kaiwu seemed to have prepared everything in advance. The banknotes were worthless, the city gates were sealed, and the water and power outages had no impact on the medical school.

Otherwise, in such a cold weather, without water, electricity, fuel, or food, how are we going to survive this winter! ?

Zhang Kaiwu drove his own ambulance and took Chen Xueru to deliver some food to Xiaolian and Xiaocui.

Because tomorrow is the Little New Year, and even though no one is celebrating the New Year this year, we can’t let Xiaolian and Xiao Cui starve to death!

When he arrived at the entrance of the medical school, Zhang Kaiwu borrowed a Garand rifle and took an ammunition supply bag, which he placed in the middle of the cab as if to show off.

The Willys Jeep was driving on the deserted Dongzhimen Street. The Qianmen Railway Station had been out of service for a long time and there was silence around the railway station.

The Qianmen Arrow Tower, which had not been closed during the day for hundreds of years, was closed during the day for the first time.

There were artillery positions everywhere, and the hastily built Qianmen simple airport was abandoned.

Because it is also under the muzzle of the artillery position, aircraft inside the airport are strictly prohibited from taking off or landing.

As long as anyone dares to take off or land, the artillery position will fire two shots and the world will be quiet.

In the biting cold wind, the streets were littered with discarded banknotes. The wheels of the jeep rolled up the banknotes, all of which were large bills of hundreds of thousands or millions.

It would take a long time to count the strings of zeros on it if you don’t know how to read.

Chen Xueru stared at the flying banknotes on the ground in a daze. If she had continued to run the store, would she have gone bankrupt long ago? ?
Becoming a multi-millionaire or even a billionaire?
Peking has now become the richest city in the north, and people can use ten thousand yuan bills to go to the bathroom.

Due to the lack of coal for heating, some people simply used it to make a fire.

In fact, the city gates were locked, but the Qianmen Street in Peking was unexpectedly harmonious, with soldiers, officers from the patrol department, and shopkeepers basking in the sun.

Everyone kept to themselves and found a place to bask in the sun.

The soldiers are no longer afraid of fighting and are basking in the sun on the arrow tower. It is obvious that they are now negotiating.

If they really want to fight, they don't even need to fire a single shot, their artillery positions will be flattened.

The patrol officers no longer arrest people and take their gold and silver at random. They only follow orders and do not care as long as there is no murder or arson in the streets.

The shopkeepers were no longer doing business, and the doors on the streets had long been closed. They just guarded the shops and properties, and chatted and boasted in groups of three or five.

Occasionally, when acquaintances came to buy things, he would do the transaction secretly and only accept gold and silver, and not anything else.

The city of Peking has never been peaceful and tranquil.

The arrival of Zhang Kaiwu's jeep added a touch of vitality to the place.

Several shopkeepers came up to chat and joke, trying to get close to him, and Zhang Kaiwu handed them cigarettes with a smile.

Xiaolian and Xiaocui ran down, opened the door a crack, and greeted Zhang Kaiwu with a smile.

Zhang Kaiwu carried the two bags of grain from the cart into the store and let them take them home for their own use.

Chen Xueru also carried two small bags of snacks and biscuits into the store and gave them the things. Chen Xueru chatted with them and asked them to wait patiently.

Zhang Kaiwu ran to the street and chatted and laughed with everyone for a while.

Huang Shijun's sidecar three-wheeler came hurriedly again. Hearing the news from his men, he ran over to try to get close to them.

Smiling, he asked:

"Brother Kaiwu! How are you doing lately?"

Zhang Kaiwu handed him a Camel cigarette and said with a smile:

"Brother Shijun! As usual, we are building a factory now. How are you doing?"

Huang Shijun lit a cigarette and said with a smile:

"What can we do? We are all just hanging out together! Do you think there will be a fight in the future?"

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said:

"It's impossible. We've already lost. If we wanted to fight, we would have done it long ago. Now it's just negotiations. Don't worry. As long as you don't do anything wicked, you'll be fine."

"You are a smart man. If all these accounts were settled, how many people would be left in Peking? There wouldn't be those policies."

Huang Shijun said with a smile:
"I think that's the case, otherwise how many people would have to be killed!"

"Brother Kaiwu! I heard you are planning to go to Nanjing?"

Zhang Kaiwu was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile:

"That's impossible! I didn't even know I was going to Nanjing. I was going to continue building the factory and I wasn't going anywhere!"

"Please pay more attention to the houses and shops on Qianmen Street."

Huang Shijun agreed with a smile.

Zhang Kaiwu called out Chen Xueru, got in the car and drove away.

The jeep had just left Xiangyi Village on Qianmen Street for less than 30 meters and had not yet started to speed when he noticed something was wrong.

A malicious gaze was fixed upon him from the side of Zhima Hutong, and a man reached his hand into his arms.

Zhang Kaiwu stretched out his right hand, pressed Chen Xueru's head, and whispered:

"Get down!"

Chen Xueru's face turned pale and she laid down in the passenger seat with her head in her hands.

Zhang Kaiwu didn't even retract his hand, an M1911 appeared in his right hand.

"Clap clap clap!"

Three gunshots rang out, and the man fell to the ground.

The bullet casings flew in the air and landed in the cab with a clanging sound.

Zhang Kaiwu never thought of waiting for others to shoot first, this was not a movie shoot.

Only dead enemies are good enemies, and he even shot them twice more.

Huang Shijun, who was far away, heard the gunshots and saw Zhang Kaiwu shooting, so he hurried over with a few patrol officers.

The shopkeepers who were basking in the sun at the door were well-trained and went back silently and closed the door.

There were also footsteps heard from the entrance of the alley, probably four people, and people were also rushing out from the next intersection on the street, quite a few!

Zhang Kaiwu turned the jeep and rushed onto the sidewalk, then stopped on the opposite side of the street, with the rear end of the jeep facing the entrance of the alley. He braked the jeep and shouted to Chen Xueru:
"Lie down and don't move!"

Chen Xueru was lying in the passenger seat, and after the rear of the car was turned around, there was a blind spot, so it was very safe.

Two groups of people rushed out from the front and back alleys at the same time. Zhang Kaiwu picked up the Garand rifle in the middle of the cab and put it in the storage space.

He jumped off the Willys Jeep, with a Garand rifle in ready state in his hand. He bent down, used the back of the jeep as a cover, and started firing from the corner of his vision.

"Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding"

As soon as a bullet flew out of the rifle's magazine, another Garand appeared in his hand and continued to fire.

The two groups on the opposite side also opened fire, with bullets flying everywhere. They were all armed with pistols, but unfortunately the distance was a bit far, so even the most powerful gunman only fired two shots at the rear of the car, and no one knew where the rest of the bullets flew.

Huang Shijun and his men, holding their Wangba boxes and Hanyang-made rifles, also began to help from a distance, leaning against the steps and thresholds of the shops and firing their rifles desperately.

The people in the Patrol Department are actually very experienced in encounters in the city and have amazing combat effectiveness.

They often form groups to fight in cities, and even suppress bandits from time to time, so how could they not have experience?!

They all used long-range attacks against short-range attacks, with three or five players providing cover and coordination, and there was absolutely no such thing as charging in a line.

The subsequent battle to eliminate spies in Peiping was basically carried out by their Patrol Department because the soldiers were restricted and suffered heavy casualties.

It is because they have rich experience in street fighting and are familiar with the terrain.

In less than two minutes, except for a few who had not yet escaped from the alley, the rest were knocked to the ground.

Everyone was in tacit understanding. Those who were far away could still move and slowly shoot at the fallen ones.

As for rushing forward to capture the living, and lining up to charge forward, those are things that only dare to be filmed in movies.

They dared to take action in broad daylight. It is obvious that these people are well-trained assassins, not thugs.

Zhang Kaiwu did not let his guard down. He was on alert along with the patrol officers across the street. He had taken these things into consideration when he parked the car just now.

Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.

Otherwise he would have just reversed. Zhang Kaiwu would not pin his hopes on others.

Huang Shijun saw that there was no problem, so he put away his gun and ran over from across the street alone, asking:
"Brother Kaiwu! Are you not hurt?"

Zhang Kaiwu put the Garand rifle into the cab and said with a smile:
"No! I'm going back first. Call me if you have anything."

Huang Shijun breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Okay! Okay! Go back first, I'll call you when I have the result."

Zhang Kaiwu started the Willys Jeep and patted Chen Xueru, who then sat up with a pale face. She looked around in silence and saw a bunch of people falling down across the street, and she lowered her head in fear again.

He turned the corner and stepped on the accelerator hard. The Willys Jeep suddenly accelerated, rushed out of Qianmen Street and turned onto Dongzhimen Street.

A few minutes later, they arrived at the medical school, and Chen Xueru asked in panic:

"Brother Kaiwu! Why would someone want to kill us!?"

Zhang Kaiwu rubbed her, not wanting Sister Xueru to know too much, and said with a smile:

"Sister Xueru! Don't be afraid! They are all targeting me. Maybe it's the same as what's in the newspaper. They want me to go to Nanjing!?"

"I told you to study hard at home and not to go out because I was afraid of these things!"

Chen Xueru asked in panic:

"Where are they from?"

Zhang Kaiwu said with a smile:
"I don't know! Maybe it's the Bureau of Secrets, the Central Bureau of Investigation, or some other bureau or something like that?"

Chen Xueru thought about it and asked doubtfully:
"Brother Kaiwu! Could it be that Xiaolian, Xiaocui and the others have been bribed by someone else!?"

Zhang Kaiwu rubbed her and said with a smile:

"How is that possible? It has nothing to do with them. If it does, they might be lying in ambush inside the store, or on the way to Qianmen Street. Maybe we stayed there for too long, and they were already prepared, so they rushed over."

"Sister Xueru! Where's your revolver? Why didn't you help me just now?"

Chen Xueru blushed and said in surprise:

"Ah! The pistol is in the bag. I was so scared just now!"

Zhang Kaiwu parked the car, Chen Xueru jumped out in panic, and ran upstairs to seek comfort with her sisters.

He picked up the scattered shells in the car and threw them on the snow beside him. He looked around the jeep and saw only two bullet holes at the rear of the car.

It was just a pistol bullet, and it hit the military jeep at a distance of more than 40 meters. It did not cause any damage to the military jeep, but just broke some paint and left two shallow pits.

There are still experts out there!
Being able to hit a jeep with a pistol from a distance of forty meters, your marksmanship is really amazing!
Zhang Kaiwu was not going to return the borrowed Garand rifle, so he decided to keep it at home as a show.

Zhang Kaiwu carried the Garand rifle upstairs and hung it on the wall. A group of women came over and checked his body to see if he had been bitten by a bullet.

The chattering is so annoying.
