Chapter 3 Gunfight 2

  Thinking about it, BOSS's words also make sense. After all, our small group has a considerable reputation on the internet (a considerable reputation? 29 of the top 100 hackers are from our group, and half of the top 10 are ours... that's not small at all, is it even more impressive than the US?). I thought about it and agreed to his request. At the same time, I made it clear to BOSS that I can only spare 2-4 hours a day to participate in website construction and training guidance for students. I also promised to provide the website's defense system. I also put forward the requirement that participants must be absolutely reliable. After chatting with a few friends for a while, I left the internet cafe.

  As I walked out of the internet cafe, I had already decided on my plan for the next 5 months. First, I need to hurry to Beijing and find a job. After all, as KOKO said, it's not easy to find a job on the "broken fish net", is it? The "broken fish net" has a notorious reputation online as a place where attackers die.

  I'm confident in my No. 1 position for network security and defense, the only thing that makes me uncomfortable is France's SUN, that bastard keeps calling me a fisherman from head to toe, just looking at his name reminds me of that island country in the east, all I want to do is raise my middle finger and add that 'rì' word. Of course, it would be best if that job could help me solve my accommodation problem, after all, Beijing's rent is not cheap. Then I'll try my best to save some money in these few months, hopefully, I can pay back Ah Yan's money first.

  Of course, every night I still have to work overtime on that defensive software. I really want to modify the single-machine version of the firewall that was completed two months ago and install it for him, but that would be too hasty. After all, if the website is hacked, the most embarrassing one will still be me.

  Following the planned route, I first arrived in Hangzhou and learned at the train station that tickets to Beijing were already sold out and the earliest available ticket would be three days later. After asking other passengers nearby, I found out that there are very few trains and buses from Hangzhou to Beijing, but it wouldn't be a problem if I went to Shanghai first, where I could get on the bus by the next day at the latest. So, I spent 35 yuan to take a long-distance bus (not an express bus) to Shanghai at the long-distance bus station.

  Sitting in the car, I feel like this car is just as that old brother said, 'except for the horn, everything else makes a noise'. I really don't know where it will break down, whether it's good luck or bad luck, can't be helped. I leaned against the seat in a daze and somehow fell asleep too. The continuous blows of the past few days plus the fatigue of traveling, even with a good body, it's a bit unbearable.

  At the same time, in a small town just 50 kilometers away from Shanghai, there was a group of people plotting a conspiracy.

  "Lao San, are you all set? You think I want to die? I'll have you pay for my coffin first. Just because your dad is backing you up, you think you're invincible? I can take you down just the same."

  "Boss, second brother and fourth brother, fifth brother are all ready, one long vehicle, two vans, one jeep and two sedans for pursuit, a total of 23 people, 15 Type 54s and 6 AK47s and 1 Hawk and 1 RPG-7. That's definitely enough to drink a pot, just the RPG-7 has only one shot, damn it."

  A loud slap landed on 'Lao San's' head. "Damn it, drink a pot? I want him dead. After we finish this job, as long as that batch of goods doesn't get into trouble, we can take some time off to have fun. TMD, you think only you have connections, but I do too. As long as you didn't catch me red-handed, what can you do to me? Cool it, haha..."

  "Boss, why didn't they send someone from the East Sea Fleet's Shanghai division to handle it? Why did they have to go all the way to Ningbo and insist on going themselves?"

  "Haha, damn it, we have people in Shanghai and Ningbo too. He went to Ningbo to mobilize his family's elite naval special forces unit, and he himself went because he was afraid that the level of their people over there wouldn't be enough to mobilize them, and also afraid that the TMD operation plan would leak out. Unfortunately, don't we all know what we should and shouldn't know now? Haha..."

  "Why didn't they take the highway or fly to Ningbo? Why did they have to come this way?"

  "Those bastards went to the highway side, as for the airport side, I don't know either. Don't ask too much, you won't benefit from knowing more."

  At the same time, a row of three Audis sped quickly on Shanghai's outer ring road and made a big circle before heading straight to Jiaxing, Zhejiang.

  "Vice Chen, I think it's not safe to proceed like this. The news has probably leaked out already. This matter is too big. According to the intelligence report, there are nearly 5,000 screens, a large number of CPUs and memory sticks, and more than 20 cars involved. What's being smuggled inside is nearly 800 kilograms of No. 4 and over one million ecstasy pills. The scary thing is that those electronic products are just camouflage. According to their plan, the coast guard will confiscate the batch as smuggled electronic products, and then retrieve the goods from within."

  "Yes, I also estimated that those drugs were all in a car, and after the car arrived at the dock, they just hung up a license plate and drove away, no one could investigate."

  "Vice Chen, I think we should think of a way to get General He from the Nanjing Military Region to send a helicopter over. Since you became the deputy director of the anti-drug office, you've caught them several times already. This time, I don't think they'll let it go easily."

  "I've already made the call, and Old He has also sent a plane over. It's just that time is running out, so I told them to wait for me in Jiashan."

  "Right, Vice Chen, you go sit in the last car, and call Little Liu over here..."

  The car shook a few times, then slowly came to a stop. A few clucking sounds like a bird's call followed by the driver's curses, and then the sound of the car door opening and closing. After a flurry of activity, the driver announced a disheartening message - the car was broken, and it would take at least an hour to repair, asking all passengers to get off the bus.

  I also woke up at this time, and followed the crowd to get off the bus amidst the voices of passengers asking about the car and driver's relatives. Outside the car, the driver apologized to everyone while facing their inquiries. Then he suggested: "We just passed through Jiashan City, from here it takes ten or twenty minutes to walk back to Jiashan Small Commodities Market (don't mind me, brothers of Jiashan, I don't know where Jiashan's small commodities market is, let's just move it over). You can go take a look around, and consider this as a tourist shopping trip." Although some passengers and the driver were still arguing, most people headed towards the city area. Probably they had no choice but to spend that one hour like this.

  Unlike others, I carried my backpack and walked along the highway to a crossroads, where I saw a large tree at the corner with a row of Eastern redbud trees below. Not bad, although it's early April, the sun was still scorching hot, so having a shaded spot to hide from the sun was nice. I crawled into the row of Eastern redbud trees behind the big tree, sat on the lawn and opened my laptop, taking advantage of the free time to work on some small programs, including encryption, image viewer, player, etc., which might come in handy when job hunting in Beijing later. If others saw my computer, they would never think it was a top-notch hacker's computer, with all software as follows:

  Win98/Office97/C++ and a self-written firewall, nothing suspicious at all. That Office97 was installed just to create some learning materials for my friends, they thought the electronic documents I wrote were too ugly and didn't fit the style of a great hacker. Does a hacker need to have style? I always thought that being a hacker is about having skills, experience, and proper preparation and tools.

  Because my laptop's performance is really not good, I try not to install anything on it unless absolutely necessary. Except for C++, I don't plan to install any other software. Once I've learned something, I delete the software. All the good software or small programs I've found, as well as those I've written and modified myself, are stored on CDs - two copies of each. This has earned me more than a few disapproving glances from Ayang, who thinks I'm wasting money.

  Time really flies, I've only written a few lines of code and it's already been over half an hour. I should probably head back now, or else the car will be gone and that would be terrible. Just as I was about to shut down, there was a loud screeching sound from a car, followed by the sound of emergency braking, and then continuous crashing sounds. The word "car accident" immediately popped into my mind - oh no, I hope nobody's dead! And now I'm in a hurry to catch my bus, but helping with the rescue efforts and being a witness will take up so much time.

  Every time I think about it, just as I was about to rush out to save people, a sharp and intense explosion sound almost scared me to death. RPG-7 - must be, that damn thing is the most commonly used portable rocket launcher in school, it's simply the god of thugs, the ultimate weapon of gangsters... Before I could even see the situation clearly, an Audi A6 crashed into the big tree at the bus stop, and then another Audi car also crashed over. Quickly, 4 people rolled out of the cars, one from the back seat of the first car, and the other from the passenger side of the second car was shot to death before he could even get out.

  Hiding behind a small artificial rock 3 meters away from the four people, I finally figured out the situation. One side had three Audi cars, one of which was completely destroyed by an RPG-7, leaving two cars with 7 dead and 3 injured, and both cars were "stranded" in front of me.

  On the other hand, there were more than 20 people on the other side. At that moment of the clash, several of them were shot in the head by a man in a suit who got out of an Audi car. From the shooting posture of those men in suits, I knew they must have received regular training. On the other hand, it was undoubtedly a group of thugs and gangsters from Hong Kong movies. Anyone who has seen Hong Kong movies can recognize them. So many people rushed up like a swarm of bees, without any formation or cover for each other. After two were shot dead, they panicked and looked for cover. It's even more ridiculous that one guy hid behind an advertising light box on the side of the road. Who is this? Do you think the advertising light box is bulletproof glass?

  Before I could think of what to do, the situation changed again. Two hand grenades drew two arcs and flew over, in an instant, two men in suits pressed one under their bodies, one grenade exploded next to the wounded man, except for directly blowing up the wounded man, it also blew the two men in suits into pieces everywhere, while the other grenade was interesting, directly thrown onto the road, shrapnel in all directions scared several 'bandits' out of their wits.

  After the explosion, two men in suits and another who appeared to be a government official got up and started shooting...

  "Vice-captain Chen, hurry up and leave, we'll cover for you, go quickly!"
