The soldiers at the front are carrying out rescue and disaster relief work, the people are also cooperating and assisting, and the civil affairs department is assisting in dispatching supplies in the rear.

Gong Linglong had been delivering supplies for three consecutive days. She got up at dawn every day and delivered the goods until dark. She rested in the guesthouse arranged by the county town at night.

During these three days, the sports car met Jiang Yun many times and they became familiar with each other. They happened to meet again this afternoon and they worked together to transport food to the worst-hit areas downstream of the reservoir.

Just after passing a bend, the big truck in front suddenly braked and stopped.

Gong Linglong, who was walking behind, also stepped on the brakes. Li Xuan, a colleague sitting in the passenger seat, rolled down the window and looked out. "Why did it stop so suddenly?"

The driver in the car behind was also asking: "Why did you stop?"

Li Xuan was about to open the door and get out when Jiang Yun from the car in front of him shouted with a loud speaker: "There are bandits blocking the road ahead. Everyone please be careful."

"Bandits?"

Gong Linglong and Li Xuan looked at each other, and tacitly picked up a stick each for self-defense.

Their small convoy consisted of five vehicles, five drivers and accompanying personnel, a total of only ten people, four of whom were soldiers, and the others were drivers and assistants arranged by the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Four soldiers rushed to the front, and the other three followed Jiang Yun's orders. Gong Linglong and the other six stood behind with their weapons in hand.

There were not too many bandits in this group, about twenty of them, all holding knives. Among them was a burly man with a ferocious look who was holding a dagger against a child's neck. Two men next to him were holding a woman who was crying loudly.

Seeing that they had taken hostages, Jiang Yun tightened his grip on the gun and stepped forward to negotiate as a representative: "What do you want in exchange for releasing them?"

"Money and food."

The man holding the child hostage spoke in a loud voice: "Five thousand yuan and two carts of food."

"I give you food, can you take it away?" Jiang Yun asked back.

"You two women, drive it to our village."

The man grabbed the child's neck with one hand and pointed the dagger in his hand at Jiang Yun and Gong Linglong.

It was obvious that they had already checked it out and were waiting here specifically for the two female drivers to pass by.

"Comrade soldiers, save us, save my son, he is only four years old, please save us quickly." The captured woman screamed at the top of her lungs.

Gong Linglong stood at the very edge, only four or five meters away from the group of bandits in front. While Jiang Yun was negotiating with them, she carefully observed the expressions of the people opposite her.

I looked around again. This area was very desolate. I hadn't seen any villages along the way, and there were no disaster-stricken people walking on the road. There were only ordinary stone mountains on both sides, bare, without even a thatched hut.

This time, when the woman shouted at the top of her lungs, she discovered that her voice was not hoarse and her facial expression was not right. When the man held the dagger against the child's neck, she seemed excited, but she did not have that instinctive anxiety.

Looking at the boy who was being held hostage, his face was dark and his clothes were dirty, but the shoes on his feet were clean. There was an indescribable sense of incongruity about his body.

Jiang Yun was still talking to the man in front. Gong Linglong took two steps forward unnoticed and stood behind Jiang Yun to watch the mother and son.

"One thousand yuan, no more."

Jiang Yun chopped down the price, his right hand inconspicuously grasping the pistol at his waist. Seeing Gong Linglong approaching, he whispered, "Linglong, what are you looking at?"

"Jiang Yun, I think something is wrong with them."

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yun actually felt the same way, but didn't see it at first.

Gong Linglong was about to speak when she suddenly caught sight of the child quietly tugging at the hem of the man's clothes behind him. She immediately understood and hurriedly told her, "Jiang Yun, this woman and child are in cahoots with them, and that boy is not a child either."

"Huh? Not a child?" Jiang Yun narrowed her eyes slightly.

"dwarf."

When Gong Linglong was sure about it, another soldier nearby also discovered it.

Almost at the same time, the four men drew their guns, and Jiang Yun ordered Gong Linglong and the others, "All of you get in the car."

"good."

In order not to fall behind, the six of them immediately turned around and climbed into their respective cars.

When the bandits on the opposite side saw them firing guns, they all looked obviously panicked, especially the woman who was being held captive.

Seeing Jiang Yun and the others approaching with guns, the bandits had to retreat. The woman screamed loudly: "Comrade soldiers, don't shoot! They will kill us, mother and son! Don't shoot!"

The men also cooperated by putting daggers against the necks of the mother and son. The burly man shouted a warning: "Don't come over here. If you move again, I will kill them."

"Kill if you want to, do it quickly, don't waste time."

Jiang Yun pointed the gun at the dwarf's forehead and said, "If you don't do it, I will."

The dwarf who was pretended to be held hostage was so scared that his whole body tensed up. He had cooperated and shouted a few words before, but now he didn't dare to say a word. One of his hands was still nervously pulling at the corner of the man's clothes.

Jiang Yun also noticed his actions and snorted coldly: "You guys are really brave to grab disaster relief supplies while robbing things."

Jiang Yun had been concerned about the hostages before, but now that he was sure they were in the same group, he didn't waste any more time talking to them. He was the first to fire a shot, hitting the burly man's arm as a warning to others.

As the gunshots rang out, blood splattered everywhere.

The group of bandits were so frightened that their faces turned pale. The women and dwarfs stopped pretending and ran away in all directions.

"Bang...Bang..."

The gunshots continued and the screams became louder and louder. The people sitting in the car felt their scalps tingling when they heard the gunshots.
