Chapter Fifty-One: The Consequences of an Illicit Affair

  Two consecutive gunshots came from the factory building, breaking the original tranquility of the factory area. The lights almost lit up in succession within a few seconds after the gunshot. The workers living in the empty factory building were awakened by the gunfire and hastily turned on the lights, only to hastily turn them off again after just a few seconds.

  Who knows what's going on outside, what if bandits come over? If they follow this and kill their way to this place, everyone will be finished. At this time, the workers who were awakened didn't dare to sleep anymore, although the lights were turned off, but in the dark dormitory, they felt around to see if they could find anything handy, just in case.

  As the leader of the security team, Ma Si felt extremely comfortable. He was in charge of over a hundred brothers on the security team and received several tens of yuan in salary every month. Just like how everyone lived in this dormitory, he also had the privilege of occupying a single room. In these few months, apart from being content, what worried Ma Si the most was his team members who were neither soldiers nor civilians.

  Don't look at the ones who wear more foreign-style uniforms than the Japanese devils' soldiers, with brand-new Type 38 Arisaka rifles on their shoulders, and leather bullet cases and leather holsters. But these are just a thin layer of skin; strip them of their skin and they're not even as good as bandits. They've squandered over a thousand yuan of the master's money in one month.

  It's already March and those sons of bitches still haven't trained into soldiers, not a single one of them is worthy, they're all putting shame on me, Old Fourth. Almost every day he goes to sleep with anger like this.

  Just before going to bed, I still felt my eyelids jumping and my heart racing, thinking that something was wrong, staring at the clock until it was almost midnight, when I was so tired that I couldn't stay awake anymore.

  Just as he fell asleep for a short while, the sound of gunfire came from outside, and it was two consecutive shots. Ma Si, who was awakened by the gunshot, shuddered with fright, and his heart was no longer concerned about anything else.

  He picked up the mirror case hanging on the wall, then put on his long waist canvas boots, didn't have time to tie his shoelaces, and didn't wear his outerwear before putting on his woolen coat. He kicked open the door with one foot and loudly called out to his brothers in the security team.

  "Brothers, come on and get up for me! The master usually treats us well with good food and drink. Now it's time to use our strength, everyone must cheer up and not let the master think that he has raised a group of useless people."

  What does it feel like after pulling the trigger?

  Is it fear? Is it rejoicing? Is it excitement? Or is it regret?

  The lights in the factory have been turned on by Wu Mantun, and the large factory is brightly lit. Looking at the scene before him, Wu Mantun simply stared blankly, having never killed anyone before, he was just dazed.

  "Brother... what... what should I do?"

  Mu Bai woke up to see the person lying in a pool of blood on the ground, and his voice trembled as he asked his older brother. Apart from this older brother of his, Mu Bai really didn't know who else he could rely on.

  At this time, the factory still had a faint smell of gunpowder. Wu Mantun stared blankly at the man lying in the pool of blood, smelling the familiar scent of gunpowder that he had grown up with.

  "Big brother......that......that woman is......the one I killed?"

  Mu Bai pointed to a woman lying on a wooden box about ten meters away, saying that the woman's skull was pierced by bullets, and white brain matter mixed with blood scattered around.

  Looking at the white flower-like brains scattered on the ground, Mu Bai only felt a wave of nausea. Since this woman was killed by himself, and Mu Bai had never killed anyone before, he only felt a chill in his heart, and even felt that those brains would soon turn into vengeful spirits.

  "Why! Why so accurate?"

  Mu Bai cursed himself in his heart, usually when shooting targets ten bullets could all hit the target, Mu Bai would secretly laugh, but just now, under that dark sky, he didn't even aim properly yet still managed to shoot this woman's brain.

  "Big brother...... he...... can he still be saved?"

  Wu Mantun walked up to the man lying in a pool of blood, gun in hand, seemingly examining something. Mu Bai followed closely behind, asking nervously.

  "It's hopeless now, it has hit the heart."

  Wu Mantun used the muzzle of his gun to stir the dead body in the pool of blood, saying softly. Wu Mantun, who had woken up from the terror of killing someone, now had a clear mind. Although he had already killed someone, it was too late for regret or remorse. The person was already dead.

  "This man is not from our factory, he's from outside. Just look at what he's wearing."

  Looking at the clothes this man was wearing, Wu Mantun could almost be certain that this man was unlikely to be from the factory. The workers in the factory wore green military uniforms (Type 65 military uniform, issued during military training) or blue work uniforms, even their autumn and winter clothing were provided by the boss, and their undergarments were crew-neck T-shirts.

  It's absolutely impossible for anyone in the factory to wear such coarse cotton black trousers, let alone use a black cloth belt. And these shoes on his feet, just by looking at this outfit, it's absolutely impossible for this man to be a worker in the factory. You know that nowadays, workers in the factory wear blue work uniforms and are very eye-catching when they go to town, how could anyone still wear such clothes?

  "Then... big brother... they're from outside"

  Mu Bai took a closer look and found that the clothes he was wearing were clearly different from those of the factory workers. The man's leather jacket, which had been thrown to one side on the ground, was a type of half-length leather jacket that only households like this one would have.

  "Listen up, I'm Ma Si, the leader of this factory's security team. If you're a good fellow and don't want any trouble, throw out your guns and I'll put in a good word for you with the boss. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

  Wearing a woolen coat, Ma Si held a mirror box in one hand and stood outside the factory gate, shouting loudly. The open coat fluttered in the wind, but Ma Si didn't care about the cold or warmth. The master had been treating them well for several months, now it's time to see what would happen today.

  The brothers of the guard team, because they were suddenly startled and shouted loudly by the captain, except for those on night patrol, were all running with guns in a disheveled state, wearing only their coats. The captain ran towards the direction of the shooting, and as he met the brothers on night patrol along the way, they took big strides to run to the front gate of the factory building.

  "Ah, running like this with sweat all over my body, without wearing clothes, and when the wind blows, it's really damn cold."

  Just as Ma Si was speaking, a brother behind him who was holding a gun trembled and said, "No wonder, although we all wore big clothes to come out, but on our bodies there is only one thin inner garment. Running half a mile in this weather, sweating profusely, it's strange if you're not cold."

  "Look at you guys, what a sorry state! All of you, get some spirit into yourselves! Baldy, take a few people over there, Third Brother, take a few people to that place, all of you guard it well, don't let anyone inside come out!"

  Listening to the sound, I returned to see the brothers of the guard team, all wrapped in big coats, holding guns, and covered in bandages. It's been three months since we started training, but it's still no different from a group of useless people. Anger aside, things need to be arranged properly.

  "Big brother! It's... it's our captain."

  Mu Bai, startled by the shouting outside the factory building, hastily grasped his gun and anxiously asked Wu Mantun beside him, "Now that we've killed someone with Big Brother here, what are we going to do?"

  "It's okay, Xiao Bai. We only beat up outsiders, this man isn't from our factory, and there aren't even any women in our factory, so that woman must be an outsider too. We were beating a thief, the team leader won't say anything."

  Seeing Mu Bai so tense, Wu Mantun opened his mouth to comfort him. In fact, saying this was also to comfort himself. Looking at the man and woman who were beaten to death by himself and Xiao Bai, Wu Mantun could be sure that these two people must have come to this place to steal people, but he didn't know why they ran into this factory building.

  "Captain, it's me! Mantun, the gun is mine and Xiaobai's two hits."

  Quiet down, Wu Mantun shouted loudly outside the factory building.

  "Captain, isn't that Mantun's voice? Has something gone wrong?"

  A team familiar with Wu Mantun heard the sound in the factory and ran to Ma Si, saying that he was surprised that Mantun usually looked very steady, and this shouldn't be a misfire.

  "Nonsense! We're all on high alert tonight, no one's going anywhere. Scram!"

  "Man Tun, Mu Bai, what are you two doing in there? Come out quickly and tell me what's going on."

  Although they said so, at the same time, they signaled everyone to open the safety of the Type 38 rifle, who knows what's going to happen next.

  "Captain, we're leaving now."

  Wu Mantun let Mu Bai and himself shout loudly together.

  "You two useless things!"

  Looking at the man lying in a pool of blood in the factory, and the woman on the other side who had fallen onto a bundle with her brain blown out, Ma Si felt an urge to strangle Wu Mantun and Mu Bai to death, especially Mu Bai. Normally, when practicing shooting, he never hit the target accurately, but this time, in the dark, he shot and blew the woman's skull off with one shot.

  "Captain, this..."

  Following the team leader and Wu Mantun, Guangtou and others walked in, looking at the bloody scene in front of them. Although they were not afraid, they also felt nauseous. However, nausea aside, how could this matter be settled?

  "What's going on here? Stop the corpse here, leave a few brothers to watch it, I'll take these two useless things to see the master. With such a big commotion, what else can we do but go find the master?"

  Now there's been a death in the factory, although the deceased isn't from around here. But outsiders are even more troublesome - who knows what kind of people this couple was or where they came from? Besides going to find Master Ma Si, I really don't know how to handle this matter.

  "Captain, look at this..."

  San picked up the gun and lifted the fallen sheepskin coat, inside which was wrapped a flintlock pistol that glimmered with a faint blue light under the lamplight.

  "But what's being looked for in this sheepskin coat?"

  As soon as Ma Si saw the brand new flower-mouthed pistol in the sheepskin coat, his heart skipped a beat and he secretly cursed, quickly asking San who had discovered the gun.

  "No, as soon as I opened this sheepskin coat, I saw this small pistol. This dead person doesn't seem to be ordinary."

  Looking at this gun, even an idiot would know the origin of the dead man. It's absolutely not simple. There are only a few people outside who can afford to use this handgun, either extremely wealthy or highly official.

  Looking at this person's attire, he must not be rich, let alone noble, and it is impossible for him to be an official. Out of ten possibilities, he must be a bandit, and this bandit is definitely not ordinary, at least he is one of the leaders of that group of horse bandits.

  Killed the leader of the horse bandits and got it.
