Chapter 655: Fearless and Unafraid of Death (Thanks to ‘鎏鎏苡叐’ for the 500 reward)

“Who are you? Do you know where this place is?”

Ta-ta-ta-ta!

Under the quiet night, a scolding question made Xiaoduo open his closed eyes. The subsequent gunshot made him shudder violently. He looked at the soldiers sleeping on the ground and found that most of them supported their bodies with their elbows, stood up and looked towards the door.

Xiaoduo quickly got up, but at this time the person standing guard at the door made a gesture to him, which was to stretch out his index finger and press it against his lips.

With this action, the discipline on the hidden front made no one make any sound. Xiaoduo picked up the candlestick on the altar in the hall, extinguished the candle with his hand, pulled out the candle, and walked towards the door holding the candlestick.

Before boarding the ship, they were armed with weapons, which they brought from Xin County for self-defense. The night before boarding the ship, all the weapons were taken away by their superiors in order to avoid trouble and conflict. They were afraid that these young and energetic guys would get angry in the container and something unexpected would happen. But after they landed and could no longer stay at home, no one gave them weapons. Now, they can only rely on themselves.

Seeing Xiaoduo’s actions, other soldiers began to imitate Xiaoduo and pulled out all the candles in front of the Hongmen altar. In front of Hongmen’s founder Hong Ying, they blew out the candles and did so in front of the five Hongmen sages: Zhu Zhiyu, Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongyi, Wang Fuzhi, and Fu Shan. They ignored the Five Sects, the Five Former Ancestors, the Five Later Ancestors, the Five Righteous Men, the Five Heroes, the Three Heroes, and the Two Masters on the tablets.

Xiao Duo walked quickly to the door and looked out through the gap in the door panel. He saw that after a man in the yard was knocked down by a machine gun, several guys with strange-shaped guns rushed in. He then stretched out his hand to push the crowd back and stood silently at the edge of the door panel.

“Situ, you’ve had enough fun this time!”

“People from Zhigongtang shouldn’t have touched the Chinese workers. It was you who first broke the balance between us for so many years!”

Da da da da da da!

The young man who was speaking raised the muzzle of his gun to the sky and pulled the trigger. The flames from the muzzle of the Chicago typewriter continued to burst out, and he swung his arms arrogantly. This person was the young man who nodded and bowed to their old man to report that the Zhigongtang had accepted the “Chinese workers”.

Then, the man put away his gun and walked towards the hall in a domineering manner.

squeak~
The door of the hall was slowly pushed open, and the leading young man, carrying a Chicago typewriter, walked in through the crack of the door. His entire action was not defensive at all, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed at the ground, as if he had already won the battle. The moment he entered the hall, he was completely stunned!
With the help of moonlight, he saw densely packed green banknotes neatly arranged on the altar. Next to the banknotes, he also saw sacks filled with coins placed on both sides of the altar. It was an amount he had never seen in his life… He couldn’t even figure out how much money was on the table!

The kid was just about to turn around and wanted to inform the old man of Xieshengtang behind him and shout, but just as he turned around and looked over – puff!

In the shadow, the sharp needle on the candlestick immediately pierced over and went straight into the head through the eyes.

The candlestick has a long needle for inserting candles. It is not sharp, but it is enough to pierce into the eyeball. In fact, as long as the force is strong enough, even chopsticks can be pierced into the eyeball, let alone this thing.

“close the door!”

In the shadows, Xiaoduo shouted loudly, and several soldiers on the hidden front line slammed the doors on both sides of the hall door – bang.

The door closed again.

At that moment, everyone in Xieshengtang in the courtyard reacted. No one entered the room anymore. Everyone picked up the Chicago typewriter in their hands and pulled the trigger towards the door.

Da da da da da da!

Da da da da da!
Why is this thing called the ‘Chicago Typewriter’?
Because when you type continuously, you can hear a typewriter-like sound, which is very pleasant. Even in Xu Chaoyang’s era, there were still people who pursued this sound and chose mechanical keyboards.

As bullets flew through the wide wooden door, they were pierced again and again. Several soldiers who pushed the door were hit by bullets that penetrated the wooden door. When they fell, the wooden door was left with bullet holes. The moonlight stretched forward like the weapons used by fencers. “Get down!”

Xiao Duo shouted amid the gunfire, then lay on the ground, snatched a Thompson from the hand of the Xieshengtang man who was shaking and twitching and whose eyeballs were pierced, and slowly crawled back to the wall.

He did not waste a single bullet, nor did he pull the trigger to kill the Xieshengtang henchman who was twitching on the ground in revenge. Instead, he slowly stood up behind the solid wall beside the door with his gun in hand, and while holding the gun, he quickly familiarized himself with the weapon in the moonlight through the window.

But what he wanted most right now was a Maxim that could defend a hilltop, and a grenade that could be thrown by just unscrewing the cap. It would be so convenient to use them.

click!
When the first sound of empty gunfire was heard, the main door of the hall was already riddled with holes…

One of them was wearing a leather wrist guard used for martial arts training. He looked fierce and glared at the person next to him and said, “Go!”

The two guys walked slowly forward under the moonlight, rubbing their feet on the ground. When they were only five meters in front of the door, Xiaoduo’s gun muzzle had appeared next to the window. He ran along the window, raised his submachine gun and pulled the trigger through the glass – da da da da!

The glass didn’t even have time to react before the Chicago Typewriter made several bullet holes in it, and a piece of glass was blown away. Two gangsters who were about to approach the door, one of them was shot in the side, and when he turned around and fell, he was shot again in the chest and abdomen and fell to the ground. The other one was hit directly by a stray bullet behind the ear and the back of the head, and he fell down without even a reaction.

At this moment, Xiaoduo immediately squatted under the window, raised his hand and took off the magazine. After checking the bullets in his magazine, a burst of gunfire came from above his head, and the glass shattered one after another – da da da da da da.

So many Thompson submachine guns were like fire pokers in the hands of these gangsters. They would only counterattack subconsciously after hearing the gunshots and had no intention of setting up position in advance.

Xiao Duo loaded the magazine, climbed back along the window, and said to the hidden front soldier who was guarding the door with the blood-stained candlestick in his hand: “Prepare to open the door.”

“Ah?” The other party was stunned.

“Stop talking nonsense. I don’t have many bullets left. I don’t know how many people are there. I can only rush out to grab the gun from the corpse and fight back on the spot.”

Xiaoduo has completely regarded the current situation as a battlefield and set all circumstances as unknown.

“Listen, once the door is opened, I will rush out and start shooting. Everyone, rush along both sides of the door towards the bodies in the yard. Whoever can grab the gun will be the first to open fire and kill the people in the yard first. Get ready!”

His every word was unquestionable, and he never calculated sacrifices in his plans. No matter what the cost, he had to kill those who rushed into the courtyard, just as he had to deliver the intelligence in his hands no matter what the cost.

“Open the door!”

crunch~
The door opened, and Xiaoduo rushed out with his body crouched. In the moonlight, he raised the muzzle of his gun without caring whether he saw anyone in front of him or not. He squeezed the trigger and started firing – da da da da da!

He was mentally prepared. No matter if he was shot or not after rushing out, he had to provide cover and completely empty the remaining bullets in the magazine!
To give our comrades… some time to grab guns.

The next second, a group of skinny young men began to rush out through the crack in the door, and some of them rushed out directly from the window shattered by bullets…
