When Shen Changan arrived at the foot of the mountain, the captain had been waiting for a long time.
"Coming?"
"Here I come."
"Let's go?"
"Let's go!"
The conversation between the two people was simple and direct, but the meaning was clear.
The captain led the way in front, and Shen Changan followed behind, observing the surrounding situation.
Both of them had good leg strength and could climb the mountain very quickly even at night.
From a distance they could hear the sound of gunfire coming from the mountain.
"Why did you fight so quickly?"
The captain had no idea what had happened on the mountain, and his brows were tightly furrowed.
"Hurry, we have to speed up, otherwise it will be too late."
At Shen Changan's urging, the two ran faster and faster.
The closer they got, the more frequent the gunshots became. Amid the bang bang bang of gunfire, they could vaguely hear a few angry shouts.
"Police! Police are investigating! Why don't you put down your hunting rifles and surrender immediately? Your actions are assaulting police officers, and the consequences are very serious. Please consider this carefully!"
The wind in the mountains was blowing, carrying some sounds from far away.
"This is Zhou Xinming's voice. They must be in danger!"
Shen Changan quickened his pace again. The captain's speed had reached its limit. His forehead was sweating while he was running, and soon he could not keep up with Shen Changan.
The gunshots became more and more frequent, and finally fell silent, and then a few sporadic gunshots were heard again.
If you can hear gunshots, it means the fighting is still going on. If the gunshots stop, it means the fighting has stopped.
At this point, it is very likely that the outcome has been decided, but no one knows who will win or lose. Shen Changan's heart sank to the bottom.
"Chen Changan, wait for me, wait for me!"
The captain was so tired that he was out of breath, but Shen Changan not only did not stop, but ran faster than before.
It was not until then that the captain realized that Shen Changan's speed had not reached its limit, and the previous speed was deliberately slowed down to wait for him.
"Damn it, we're almost at the quarry, why haven't the rescuers arrived yet?"
In the captain's opinion, these police officers all live near the Public Security Bureau, and they can gather quickly as soon as the assembly order is issued.
They wasted so much time walking on the mountain road and eating, and since they had motorcycles and cars, the group of police officers behind them should have been faster than them.
It's been several hours now and there's still no movement. Could it be that no one notified us?
The captain's heart sank when he thought of this possibility.
Zhou Xinming led his public security comrades to rush to the front, but there was no solid rear to provide them with rescue.
The captain felt a wave of sadness in his heart, and then burst out with great strength, running faster than before.
As soon as Shen Changan arrived at the entrance of the quarry, he saw Zhou Xinming stumbling out, supporting a colleague covered in blood.
"Zhou Xinming, what happened?"
Shen Changan quickly ran over to catch him. Zhou Xinming gritted his teeth and said the word "go", then ran down the mountain with Shen Changan for his life.
The captain was so tired and breathless that he finally caught up, only to see Shen Changan desperately trying to get down the mountain with the help of a bloody man.
"What happened? Why are you so badly injured?"
The captain was very puzzled. In this day and age, there are still people who dare to obstruct the Public Security Bureau's investigation. Don't they want to live?
"I don't have time to talk about it. I'll tell you when we get to a safe place."
Shen Changan felt that running like this was too slow, so he suddenly squatted on the ground and carried the injured public security comrade on his back.
Shen Changan was originally tall and strong, and with his immense strength, he carried his injured comrades on his back and ran down the mountain faster than they could have without any weight.
The sound of dogs barking came from not far away. It seemed that these people were catching up again.
Shen Changan ran so fast that Zhou Xinming and the team leader could hardly keep up.
More than half an hour later, they finally got down the mountain safely, and Zhou Xinming and his friends' motorcycles were placed in the grass on the side.
"Hurry, we need to ride down the mountain. My colleague is seriously injured and needs to be taken to the hospital immediately."
“But I can’t ride a bike.”
When has the captain, a man of his age, ever ridden something like this?
"I will. You, me, and the injured comrade will ride in one car, and Zhou Xinming will ride one himself. Zhou Xinming, are you okay with that? We'll escort them down the mountain."
Zhou Xinming nodded heavily, "I can ride my bike by myself."
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the town hospital and the injured police officer was pushed into the emergency room.
"Zhou Xinming, what exactly happened to you guys on the mountain? Can you tell me now?"
"After we arrived at the mountain, we originally planned to investigate the situation quietly. At first, everything went smoothly, but then the dogs raised in the quarry discovered our whereabouts. The dogs kept barking non-stop, and we were exposed."
"We originally wanted to retreat, but they just took out their hunting rifles and opened fire on us without giving us a chance to explain."
"Our colleagues showed their work IDs and told them their identities. Not only did they stop, they shot even more fiercely."
"Four of my comrades were injured in the chaos. I don't know if they were captured and imprisoned or if they died. Now it's just me and this comrade left. I risked my life to rescue him, but I wonder what happened to the others!"
Zhou Xinming sighed heavily, and Shen Changan immediately asked back.
"Didn't you say there would be rescue? Why didn't we see anyone coming when we went up the mountain? Did you notify everyone?"
"Although I'm young and some may think I'm unstable, I wouldn't joke with my colleagues' lives. I know the quarry is dangerous and I've made preparations. I definitely notified them, there's no doubt about that!"
Zhou Xinming was firm in his attitude, and Shen Changan nodded in belief.
"I believe what you said, but why no one came to rescue is a question."
"This is definitely a problem, a big one. I'm going to investigate this matter right now. I want to ask them why they can pretend to be ignorant of such a matter involving human lives."
Zhou Xinming's suppressed anger exploded at this moment.
"I'll go with you."
Shen Changan was also afraid that Zhou Xinming would get into danger due to a momentary impulse, so he accompanied him.
The two of them rode their bikes to the Public Security Bureau. It was quiet inside, and even Xiao Liu, the female police officer Zhou Xinming had asked her to consult the deputy director, was nowhere to be seen.
In a fit of rage, Zhou Xinming rushed straight to the home of a nearby colleague and banged on the door in the middle of the night.
Soon, someone's voice, thick with sleepiness, reluctantly opened the door.
"Who is it? What are you making so much noise in the middle of the night? Can't you let me sleep?"
"Our comrades on duty are almost all dead. How can you sleep well if you don't go to rescue them?"
Zhou Xinming rushed forward and angrily grabbed his colleague's collar, his eyes red and blazing.
