The leader is my girlfriend

Chapter 267 Danger

At 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, when the moon was dark and the wind was strong, Zhang Sen, Zhang Lei, Zhang Yanjun and Wang Yiming gathered under the wall of the oil tank factory.

After four consecutive days of long and seemingly aimless wandering, the guys from the British Empire seemed to have gradually relaxed their vigilance and alertness towards them.

Zhang Yanjun opened his handbag with a serious expression and began to distribute equipment.

He took out four pistols, four spare magazines full of bullets, four daggers, and finally eight grenades from his bag and handed them to each person one by one.

"Time is running out. We have to leave the port tomorrow and can't delay any longer. According to the accurate intelligence we have at present, the key information we have been pursuing is in this fuel tank factory, but it is closely guarded by special personnel 24 hours a day. We need to lure the tiger away from the mountain." Zhang Yanjun said as he swept his sharp eyes over several people. The current situation is basically... fighting hard.

After Zhang Lei took the pistol, he quickly checked whether the gun was in good condition, then looked up at Zhang Yanjun and asked, "What do you say we should do?"

Zhang Yanjun glanced at the others, thought for a moment, and then replied, "There are four of us now. One will be responsible for observing the situation outside, one will try to distract the guards, and the remaining two will sneak into the factory to retrieve the information."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Then Zhang Yanjun continued,

"Then, Comrade Yiming, this important surveillance mission will be entrusted to you."

Comparing the three people, Wang Yiming knows his own weight. As long as he does not drag his feet, he will do whatever is arranged.

So, he nodded in response without hesitation, "Got it!"

Then, Zhang Yanjun turned to look at Zhang Sen and decisively gave the order.

"Comrade Zhang Sen, come with me into the fuel tank factory to retrieve the information."

"Got it!" Zhang Sen responded firmly.

Finally, Zhang Yanjun set his sights on the burly and agile Zhang Lei, and said solemnly, "As for the arduous task of distracting the guards, I'll leave it to Comrade Zhang Lei!"

"Got it!" Zhang Lei answered without hesitation.

At exactly two o'clock in the morning, the operation began according to the original plan made in advance. Wang Yiming was responsible for surveillance, and the other three people sneaked into the fuel tank factory.

Every second seems so long...

As time passed, Wang Yiming became increasingly anxious.

"It's been more than an hour, why hasn't anyone come out yet?" He muttered to himself, with fine beads of sweat gradually oozing out of his forehead.

The longer the time is delayed, the greater the risk of exposure.

At this moment, a sudden burst of gunfire broke the silence of the night.

"Bang!" The gunshot was like a thunder, piercing the night sky.

Wang Yiming's heart tightened, and without thinking too much, he quickly dodged and hid in a more secluded place nearby.

Immediately afterwards, "bang bang bang..." another series of dense gunshots were heard.

Finally, a figure emerged from the fuel tank factory's wall. In the dim moonlight, Wang Yiming saw that it was Comrade Zhang Sen.

"Go!" Zhang Sen shouted in a low voice.

"Where are the two of them?" Wang Yiming asked anxiously.

"They're still inside. The situation is critical. Let's retreat first!" Zhang Sen answered anxiously while panting.

"We're leaving like this when everyone's not here yet?" Wang Yiming's eyes widened. If he abandoned his companions, how would he live with his conscience?

"My mission is to protect you and the information. Now that we have the information, we must evacuate here immediately." Zhang Sen said seriously.

"Those are human lives. Are we just going to watch them get into danger?" Wang Yiming became a little agitated.

"Human life is certainly important, but this information concerns national interests. The interests of the motherland are above all else!" Zhang Sen raised his voice and responded firmly.

"Are you crazy?" Wang Yiming looked at Zhang Sen in disbelief.

"Don't forget why we came out to carry out this mission! If the mission fails because of a momentary emotion, all previous efforts will be in vain, and it may even cause immeasurable losses to the country. We can't let him sacrifice in vain!"

Zhang Sen held Wang Yiming's shoulders tightly and shook him hard a few times.

Wang Yiming was stunned. "Sacrifice, what sacrifice?" He widened his eyes and stared straight at Zhang Sen, who was in front of him with a serious expression, eager to get a definite answer from him.

Zhang Sen just looked at Wang Yiming deeply, and without saying a word, he grabbed him and ran away.

A few minutes later, a deafening roar suddenly came from the oil tank factory not far behind him, followed by a series of deafening explosions one after another.

After running for a while, the two men stopped after hearing the explosion and stood there gasping for breath.

After a while, Wang Yiming, who had recovered his breath, turned his head and looked in the direction of the fuel tank factory. "Just now? They...are gone?"

Zhang Sen was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly and said in a heavy tone, "Perhaps this is the best outcome."

Wang Yiming asked uncertainly, "What...looks like?"

Zhang Sen took a deep breath and explained, "The violent explosion and the intense fire left their bodies incomplete. No one knows what they looked like, let alone who they were. At least for now, we're temporarily safe, and we have the information."

After hearing these words, Wang Yiming stood there in a daze, his eyes gradually turned red, and tears slid down his cheeks uncontrollably.

His lips trembled slightly as he murmured to himself,

"But, but our comrades died just like that..."

Zhang Sen patted Wang Yiming's shoulder and said, "Bring the information back with you. Their sacrifice will be worth it. Before the information is successfully transported back, both of us may continue to sacrifice. So, please take care of this information at all costs. Tomorrow's departure will be the final major attack."

Wang Yiming nodded vigorously and answered with a sob, "I will, I definitely will." After that, he turned around, suppressed his grief, and walked forward with firm steps.

As Wang Yiming walked away, Zhang Sen could no longer suppress the surging emotions in his heart, and two lines of tears flowed silently...

【Suicide Note

When this suicide note is delivered to you, I should have already sacrificed myself. Second brother, everything in the family will be entrusted to you from now on. I leave my parents to you to take care of. As your older brother, I am really not competent enough.

But I believe that I am a qualified soldier. A man sheds blood, not tears, so don't cry like a woman, otherwise I will really look down on you from the bottom of my heart.

Before leaving, Liping came to me and told me that her family was going to arrange a matchmaking for her and asked me what I thought. I didn't dare to answer her, not because I was afraid she would refuse, but because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to come back.

The pension plus the money in the passbook are specially left by me to honor my parents. Since I cannot be with them to fulfill my filial duties during my lifetime, I must ensure that this money is in place no matter what.

In addition, there are 200 yuan in the envelope, but a watch ticket is missing. If I can come back alive, I want to muster up the courage to confess my feelings to Liping. But if I can't come back, as a younger brother, please help me out and find a way to exchange the watch ticket for a Plum brand watch and give it to her. At the same time... wish her happiness on my behalf.

If she asks, just tell her that I have always regarded her as my own sister and we only have a brother-sister relationship.

Take care, second brother! Salute! 】
