Chapter 238 The Plan to Steal the Home
238
Lin Baozhu's hair stood on end, and her heart stopped for a moment! Almost instinctively, honed from countless brushes with death, she abruptly turned her head to look behind her!
Behind the pile of rusty steel frames she had just climbed over, a burly figure dressed in dark blue overalls and wearing a matching baseball cap stood there like a ghost!
At that moment, as if sensing something, he looked in Lin Baozhu's direction...
A thought flashed through Lin Baozhu's mind, and almost the instant the other person looked over, she vanished from the spot...
At this moment, the eyes beneath the brim of the hat, like two bottomless pools of ice, pierced through the shadows and locked onto the spot where she had just been!
That gaze contained a pure, chilling killing intent that could freeze one's blood!
Lin Baozhu stood at the edge of the black earth in the space, still shaken, her back against the cold pebble wall of the Jade Spirit Spring. She gasped for breath, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it would jump out of her throat! Cold sweat instantly soaked through her undergarments.
That man was a hundred times stronger than any opponent she had ever encountered. Even if she was highly skilled and had the strength to back her up, she might not be a match for him if they went head-to-head.
Having survived so many years of apocalypse in her previous life, Lin Baozhu had honed her ability to judge people to perfection.
If it weren't for this space, either she or that man would have died today.
She forced herself to calm down and used her senses to perceive the outside world—the man in overalls hadn't left. He was searching repeatedly, like a hunting dog, along the pile of sleepers and the spot where she had disappeared, his movements swift and silent. Meanwhile, "Black Three" in the distance seemed oblivious to the commotion and was still waiting for someone.
They had to move! Lin Baozhu's mind raced. That sealed freight car! The place where she disappeared was very close to the car! Taking advantage of the man in overalls still being focused on the pile of sleepers, she immediately pinpointed the coordinates of a dark corner inside the car!
With a thought!
In an instant, she vanished from the void and reappeared inside the cramped freight car! A pungent, acrid smell of rust, dust, and mold assaulted her senses. The car was dimly lit, with only slivers of daylight filtering through the doorway and a few holes. She quickly huddled in the shadow of a large pile of goods covered with tarpaulin, holding her breath and maximizing her senses, listening intently to any sounds outside.
Extremely faint footsteps could be heard outside; it was a man in overalls moving, seemingly approaching the carriage.
Just then, the sound of a new engine came from the entrance of the freight yard! An equally inconspicuous old jeep drove in and stopped next to the Volga.
The car door opened, and a figure dressed in a gray cadre uniform, wearing glasses, and with a slightly hunched posture stepped out. Upon seeing the person's face, Lin Baozhu, hidden in the shadows of the carriage, suddenly narrowed her eyes!
Shen Kaichi!! He actually dared to come and see "Black Three" in person?
Lin Baozhu slipped into the space, made it transparent, took out her camera, and snapped a series of photos of Chen Kaichi and Hei San.
Shen Kaichi's face wore an expression that was a mixture of anxiety, eagerness, and a barely perceptible hint of ingratiation as he strode towards "Black Three." The footsteps of the man in overalls also stopped near the carriage door, seemingly on guard.
Chen Kaichi deliberately lowered his voice, "Sorry to keep you waiting."
"Black Three" simply gave a faint "hmm," his voice low but carrying the indifference of a superior: "Comrade Chen, speak plainly. My time is precious."
He was clearly not very polite to Shen Kaichi.
A hint of displeasure flashed in Shen Kaichi's eyes, and his voice turned colder: "Regarding the matter you wanted to investigate, I... I have some leads! That 'pure person'... I've found him!"
These words struck Lin Baozhu like a thunderclap!
Another pure person!
"oh?"
"Black Three's" voice remained calm, but Lin Baozhu keenly noticed his sharp gaze instantly focusing on Shen Kaichi's face, as if trying to see through him. "Tell me about it."
"Before I reveal any clues, I have one condition! You must help me eliminate someone first! As soon as he dies, I will immediately tell you everything I know! I guarantee I will help you find the 'Pure Person'."
"Black Three" remained silent for a few seconds, seemingly weighing his options. Only the whistling of the wind through the dilapidated metal of the freight yard filled the air, the atmosphere oppressive and suffocating. Inside the wagon, Lin Baozhu dared not breathe, her palms sweating profusely.
"who?"
"Black Three" finally spoke, his voice icy cold.
"Qin Haifeng!" Shen Kaichi gritted his teeth, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth, filled with deep-seated hatred. "That's the regimental commander who ruined my plans! He's still protecting that old bastard Shen Chang'an! As long as he's dead, Shen Chang'an will be no threat, and I can escape safely! As long as Qin Haifeng is killed, the clues to the 'Pure Person' will be handed over with both hands!"
Lin Baozhu narrowed her eyes slightly. Kill her man?
Shen Kaichi has quite the nerve.
Lin Baozhu looked at Hei San... and suddenly she had a plan in mind!
"Qin Haifeng..."
"Black Three" repeated the name in a low voice, seemingly assessing its value, then let out a cryptic snort, "A soldier? Comrade Shen, you certainly know how to pick your enemies. His life isn't cheap."
“I know!” Shen Kaichi quickly replied, “As long as we can get rid of him, the price is negotiable! I have some…some 'good stuff' on me!”
"Black Three" didn't answer immediately, seemingly deep in thought. Chen Kaichi waited quietly to the side.
He knew that these people were obsessed with finding pure people; they were no longer interested in harming infants, but instead targeted women about to give birth...
Now that he held the clues to the Pure One, he didn't believe the Black Three Society would remain unmoved.
Just then! Lin Baozhu realized that this was the best opportunity to obtain irrefutable evidence! She focused her mind on the space and quickly picked up a miniature voice recorder that was only the size of a lighter.
She carefully took the recorder out of the compartment, held it tightly in her hand, and, using the tarpaulin as cover, pointed the recording hole towards the direction of the two people talking outside the carriage. She then gently pressed the record button. A small, almost invisible red indicator light flickered extremely faintly in the dim light.
"make a deal."
"Black Three's" icy voice finally rang out, delivering the final blow, "Qin Haifeng's life is mine. You'll see the results within three days. But Shen Kaichi..."
His voice suddenly turned sinister, "If you can't provide me with satisfactory clues by then, or if you dare to play tricks... you know the consequences. You've seen what Fifth Brother is capable of."
"Don't worry!" Shen Kaichi's voice was calm, a relaxed smile on his face: "As soon as Qin Haifeng is dead, I'll give you the clues immediately! No lie!"
“Very good.” “Black Three” seemed satisfied. “Fifth Brother, send Comrade Shen back.”
"Yes!" The burly man in overalls (Old Five) answered from outside the car door, his voice as cold and sharp as rusty iron scraping against each other.
Footsteps sounded, and it seemed that Chen Kaichi was being "escorted" away by Lao Wu. Only "Hei San" remained outside the carriage.
Lin Baozhu put away the recording pen. Before Hei San got into the car, she carefully walked to the car after leaving her spatial dimension, opened the door and got in. Then, before Hei San could notice, she slipped back into her spatial dimension...
Since Hei San is the voice of the black market, he must have a lot of good stuff in his possession!
She wanted those things.
