Chapter 66 One wave subsides, another rises
Around 2 PM, the two finished eating and got back into the car.
After driving for less than two hours, Han Shuo estimated the distance and suddenly stopped the car behind a dirt slope.
This location is only three kilometers away from the farm.
"Huh? Brother Han, why did you suddenly stop here?" Xiao Zhao asked in surprise.
"It's only a few kilometers away. I'll walk there first to check the situation. I'm worried about unexpected events."
After saying that, Han Shuo turned off the car, opened the car door, and gave a final instruction before getting out.
"Oh, and bring the binoculars and the gun."
"Oh." Xiao Zhao was a little confused, but he still obediently followed Han Shuo's instructions.
The two chatted as they walked.
"Brother Han, are your two friends just as good as you?"
Xiao Zhao asked excitedly, "If that's true, then I can find someone to spar with again."
"No, that's not it. One of them is named Wu Chengbin, and the other is named Li Shurou. They were previously a homebody and a doctor, respectively," Han Shuo explained with a smile. He had immediately guessed what Xiao Zhao was thinking.
"Oh, okay." Xiao Zhao was clearly disappointed.
"How did you two meet?" Xiao Zhao asked again.
Han Shuo suddenly felt that Xiao Zhao's talkativeness was comparable to Fatty's, but since he had nothing else to do on the way, he simply told Xiao Zhao how they met.
After walking for about 20 minutes, Han Shuo was able to see the three-story Western-style building.
"Xiao Zhao, give me the binoculars."
"good."
Han Shuo pulled Xiao Zhao behind a tree, wanting to check the situation first.
Ten days is neither a long nor a short time. Although the place is very remote, Han Shuo still became cautious. He was worried that something might happen to the farm during his absence.
Han Shuo reached out and took the binoculars from Xiao Zhao, and began to look out.
"broken!"
When he saw the situation on the farm, his heart started racing!
Han Shuo saw that the farm was no longer the familiar place it used to be.
His first glance revealed two unfamiliar cars parked below the Western-style building.
Immediately afterwards, Han Shuo looked into the Western-style building. In the lobby on the first floor, four men were chatting together, and a woman was cooking in the kitchen.
Han Shuo didn't recognize any of these five people, especially since they had cheerful and relaxed expressions on their faces.
Moreover, not only that, Han Shuo also saw a submachine gun in a man's hand!
Han Shuo stopped looking at them and shifted his gaze to other rooms, from the first floor to the third floor, carefully searching every room and every window.
He was searching for Fatty and Li Shurou!
No! Why not?
Han Shuo was extremely anxious, as if he couldn't believe his eyes, and searched all the way down from the third floor again.
However, there was still no sign of the two of them.
Han Shuo put down his binoculars and leaned against the tree, looking dazed.
"Brother Han, what's wrong?"
Xiao Zhao had already noticed that Han Shuo's expression was off. He had just looked happy, but why did his eyes become empty after looking through the binoculars?
"The farm has been occupied by others, and I... I didn't see Fatty and Li Shurou inside."
Han Shuo responded weakly, already anticipating the worst possible outcome.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Zhao quickly picked up his binoculars and started looking.
Sure enough, what I saw was exactly as Han Shuo had described. Some things don't need to be said explicitly; everyone understands.
"Brother Han, don't think too badly. Maybe your two friends noticed someone was coming and left in advance?" Xiao Zhao comforted him.
"I know, I won't believe it unless I see the body!"
No one can explain fate.
It's like one wave has just subsided when another rises!
The two had just quelled the crow problem last night, but today they encountered intruders again.
Now that Fatty and Li Shurou's fates are uncertain, Han Shuo needs to get close enough to ascertain their thoughts before he can know the specifics.
For example, did the fat guy and his friends escape in time after discovering the intruders, or were they captured? Or were they killed by the intruders?
Looking out from here with just a telescope, you can only get a general view; many blind spots inside the Western-style building are not visible.
Therefore, although Han Shuo felt depressed, he still had to cheer up.
"It's not dark yet, so we can't go over there. I'll wait until nightfall and then sneak around to observe," Han Shuo said.
"good."
For the next two hours, Han Shuo kept his eyes closed to rest. He had to suppress his anxiety; only by calming down could he make a more rational analysis.
This is crucial for his operation that night!
Xiao Zhao had never seen Han Shuo like this before. He sat to the side, not daring to speak, and simply kept him company.
...
As darkness fell, the lights in the Western-style building, which had its own generator, were already on.
After waiting a while longer, when darkness completely descended, Han Shuo opened his eyes.
Under the moonlight, Xiao Zhao could see Han Shuo's eyes, which were incredibly cold.
Although Han Shuo was very calm at the moment.
But Xiao Zhao knew that the outburst after such extreme suppression was even more terrifying than the anger he displayed!
"Xiao Zhao, you stay here. I need to get closer and confirm some things," Han Shuo said expressionlessly.
"Okay, from this position, my sniper rifle guarantees a 100% hit. Brother Han, give me a hand signal before you move, and I'll provide cover and support."
Han Shuo nodded. He didn't bring a gun, only his Tang sword, as a sword was more useful in close combat.
Moreover, his marksmanship is truly worrisome.
"Don't fire rashly. I'll take care of them one by one. You just need to keep an eye on the man with the submachine gun!"
Han Shuo left behind a message and went alone.
"good!"
...
The wind is strong at night. It's probably the end of January, and at this time, the temperature in the north has already reached its lowest point.
The icy, biting wind felt like a knife scraping against Han Shuo's face.
But at this moment, his heart felt even colder.
Moving slowly, Han Shuo circled around from the side, his pace varying in speed, sometimes hiding behind trees, sometimes lying on the earthen slope.
500 meters, 400 meters, 300 meters, 200 meters...
Han Shuo got closer and closer to the mansion, and under the cover of night, he was not discovered by the intruders inside.
Finally, Han Shuo circled around to the back of the Western-style building, and by then, Xiao Zhao in the distance had lost sight of Han Shuo.
There was a window open on the third floor. Han Shuo didn't climb up directly, but continued to walk quietly along the base of the wall.
His primary goal was to check the garage. If the car inside wasn't there, then Han Shuo could be certain that Fatty and Li Shurou had discovered the intruder and escaped in time.
Then he could rest assured that as long as the two were still alive, he would definitely find a way to find them.
Soon, Han Shuo arrived at the garage. He had previously made a hole in the lock cylinder in the middle of the roller shutter door.
Looking through the hole, he saw:
A car, and two corpses...
