Chapter 188 Fireworks Distress Signal
After sending Li Yan away, Xia Xiaoman cleaned the bloodstains on the wall and climbed over it to go home.
Just as I climbed over the wall, a bright light suddenly streaked across the night sky, followed by a loud bang, and fireworks burst into the air, instantly illuminating the dark sky. Before the fireworks faded, a black shadow slid down from the sky.
Xia Xiaoman was stunned. It was that prodigal son who was using fireworks to shoot at jaguars. How extravagant!
For the Xia Kingdom, fireworks are a kind of rescue material, or a distress signal. If someone dares to use fireworks to kill jaegers, his family is probably a fireworks factory.
Before she could finish her sigh, another bunch of fireworks burst into life. After setting off six fireworks in a row, Xia Xiaoman realized something was wrong.
The first three fireworks were at least 80 bangs, very beautiful, and lasted for several minutes before fading away. The last three were like farts, one after another, and were dim compared to the first three fireworks, and were gone in less than a minute.
Three long and three short, isn’t this a distress signal?
Xia Xiaoman was a little curious about who was calling for help. Seeing that the other person was not far away from her, she ran back home to the attic and took out a night vision telescope to watch the fun.
It wouldn’t matter if you didn’t watch it, but after watching it, Xia Xiaoman’s blood pressure soared.
The fireworks were set off from a distant building built on a slope. Six or seven people were beating up two people downstairs, and three people on the rooftop were waving for help nearby.
What made Xia Xiaoman's blood pressure soar was that she saw someone driving a snowmobile in circles downstairs. A soldier was tied up on the back of the motorcycle, his body covered in blood, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
If the person tied to the back of the other party's motorcycle was a government official, she would not interfere. Most of the people in the Crazy Dragon Society were high-ranking government officials.
But the people they kidnapped were military personnel, soldiers who ignored the severe cold and danger and always put helping ordinary people first, so she had to intervene.
Those beasts tied up military personnel and dragged them on the back of a motorcycle, which was tantamount to insulting the soldiers of the Xia country. They are simply dogs that are worse than beasts!
It would definitely be too late to rush over now, so Xia Xiaoman took out the sniper rifle, loaded it with bullets and a scope, and aimed at the person driving the car.
The person driving the snowmobile was not very skilled in driving and was driving relatively slowly. Xia Xiaoman calmed down and waited patiently for the person to slow down and turn around. The moment the other person turned around, Xia Xiaoman immediately pulled the trigger.
With a loud bang, Xia Xiaoman felt a sharp pain in his shoulder where the butt of the gun was pressing against him. He ignored the pain in his shoulder and immediately took out the telescope to look across.
The first time I fired a sniper rifle, I unfortunately missed the target. Although I missed, the shot made the other party panic, and they took out their weapons and looked around.
Xia Xiaoman continued shooting. With her experience from the previous time, she aimed at the target quickly this time.
Bang--
There was another loud bang, hitting someone in the head.
That person should be their leader. When the people around saw that their eldest brother was dead, they were immediately panicked.
The man driving the snowmobile had already come down, but Xia Xiaoman did not stop shooting. She had become addicted to it and felt that the sniper rifle was simply the magic weapon among long-range weapons.
He fired five shots in a row, hitting three people in total. The bastards searched around but couldn't find the shooter, so they decided to flee this place of trouble.
But by this time, the army had arrived after seeing the distress signal. It took more than 20 minutes to capture the beasts one by one.
Seeing that all the beasts had been captured, Xia Xiaoman was about to put down the telescope. At this moment, she saw a familiar face through the telescope.
"Chen Guangli? So his home is over there. No wonder he can come up with so many fireworks to use as signal flares. It seems like the trading point is very lucrative!"
After muttering a few words, Xia Xiaoman turned around and went downstairs.
Suddenly, she heard someone calling her outside. Turning back, she saw two patrolling soldiers.
"Hey, did you hear anything just now?"
"Someone just set off fireworks and the noise was quite loud." Xia Xiaoman said without changing his expression.
"Did you hear any other sounds besides the fireworks?"
Xia Xiaoman thought for a moment and said, "I also heard some bangs. Maybe someone was setting off fireworks!"
Seeing this, the soldier thought Xia Xiaoman knew nothing, so he didn't ask any more questions and ran to the next house to ask if anyone heard any gunshots.
After sending the soldier away, Xia Xiaoman returned to the first floor. It was almost six o'clock in the afternoon, and she had hardly eaten anything today.
I searched the space for food, but there was nothing I wanted to eat. I simply took out a processed jaguar, chopped it into small pieces, blanched it to remove the blood foam, put it in an iron pot, added the soaked velvet antler mushrooms and simmered it slowly.
Whether it is stewed or used to make soup, the velvet antler mushroom has a crispy and refreshing taste, and it is a kind of fungus that she likes very much.
While stewing velvet antler mushrooms, Xia Xiaoman's mind suddenly flashed with the scene he had just seen through the telescope.
Generally speaking, people besiege a building because there is something they want inside.
Just now, those beasts have forced people to the roof. If they are after supplies, we can dispatch more people at this time to try to open the door on the roof while sending people to move the supplies in the building.
But the group of people just now did not move the supplies. Instead, they were leisurely humiliating the soldiers downstairs.
It doesn't seem like they were seeking revenge. I've never seen anyone seeking revenge so leisurely.
Suddenly, Xia Xiaoman thought of the last scene she saw. After seeing the soldiers coming, Chen Guangli hurriedly buried the bag in his arms in the snow on the roof.
The bag looked very familiar, very similar to the bag of white powder she dug out from the abandoned factory.
Could it be that what those people wanted to steal was the drug?
The more Xia Xiaoman thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She shook her head and thought: Forget it, whether there is white powder in the bag or not, it has nothing to do with her. At most, she will try not to deal with Chen Guangli in the future to avoid being implicated.
…
During the days when no one disturbs her, Xia Xiaoman has a very regular daily routine. Even though she can no longer distinguish between day and night, she will still train strictly according to the previous normal weather conditions.
Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound outside. Xia Xiaoman pricked up her ears and listened. Seeing that the sound was not near her home, she continued exercising.
All these rumbling noises come from officially modified snowmobiles.
With electricity, all production became much more convenient. Officials converted the electric bicycles and ordinary motorcycles that had been dug out of the mud into vehicles that could travel on the snow.
The first time Xia Xiaoman saw someone riding a snowmobile to catch steel-toothed rabbits, she went to the trading point to exchange for one, but it turned out that they only rented and did not sell, so she had to return empty-handed.
Snowmobiles have been open for more than ten days now, and more and more people are renting them to catch snow rabbits.
Xia Xiaoman has become accustomed to hearing these loud noises at home.
Suddenly, there were several more engine roars, the sound was getting closer and closer, and it seemed to be coming towards her.
Xia Xiaoman frowned, stopped exercising, took out his gun, and quickly ran to the second-floor balcony.
