"Stop, don't run!" the police shouted loudly from behind.
However, Lao Zhang and others turned a deaf ear to it, as if they had not heard it, and continued to run quickly.
"They can run so fast carrying food on their backs. They must be martial artists. They must have practiced martial arts before," the policeman couldn't help but analyze.
Five people entered the alley and quickly dispersed, fleeing in three different directions.
The policeman immediately responded when he saw this, and ordered, "You still know how to run separately. Let's split up as well. Let's catch up to one by one. Don't worry about the fastest one."
"They must be in the same gang. If we catch one, we can definitely catch the whole gang. Let's chase them!"
The three policemen immediately separated and chased in different directions.
Lao Zhang was the slowest runner. After all, he was old and naturally did not have as much physical strength as young people.
He was carrying more than 100 kilograms of food, and every step he took seemed extremely heavy.
"Damn it, why are you chasing me?" Lao Zhang cursed in his heart, but he didn't dare to stop for a moment.
As Mr. Zhang got older and was still carrying nearly 110 kilograms of food, he felt a little overwhelmed and the distance between him and the police was gradually shortening.
"Stop, don't run, you can't escape, stop immediately." The policeman behind him shouted, trying to get Lao Zhang to stop.
However, Lao Zhang seemed not to hear anything and continued to run desperately.
The police's shouting inadvertently woke up the people sleeping in the yard.
"Click, click~" One by one, the lights came on, and the lights in the yard came on one after another, illuminating the originally dim alley.
"Not good!" Old Zhang secretly sighed in his heart. If he was discovered by the people in the yard, he would really have nowhere to escape.
The policeman felt a little happy when he saw this scene. He believed that with the help of the people, it should not be difficult to catch Lao Zhang.
"Comrade, you can't run away, stop immediately!" the policeman urged loudly again.
"I won't let you catch me if I stop. If I get caught for what I did, I won't be able to escape. How can I stop?" Lao Zhang said to himself, but he had no intention of stopping.
Getting food is a small matter, but reselling the factory's weapons, especially mortars, is no small matter.
This weapon is no small one, especially since this year is 59 years ago, and it is the tenth anniversary.
They don't know Li Kailang's identity or address yet, so he will definitely be sentenced for espionage and end up being put to death.
"There's no way I'll let you catch me!" Lao Zhang gritted his teeth, pushed his body to the limit, and quickened his pace again.
While the residents of the yard had not come out yet, Lao Zhang moved around in the alley, constantly changing his position, trying to shake off the police behind him.
"Comrade, don't even think about it. You can't outrun me!" the police officer urged loudly.
The police held Lao Zhang tightly and refused to let up even a little.
"Squeak--" the courtyard doors opened one after another, and the residents of the courtyard came out one after another.
When the police saw this, their eyes suddenly lit up and they immediately encouraged the crowd to help.
"Comrades, help catch the guy in front. This guy is reselling food!"
"Reselling grain?" When everyone heard this word, their eyes suddenly lit up, and then they were ecstatic.
Being able to resell grain means that this guy has a way to get grain.
Someone must have stored a lot of food in that place. Food is so scarce now, and everyone is buying food in a rationed manner.
If a large amount of grain came into the grain station, wouldn't they be able to buy grain? They were immediately overjoyed.
"Let's go and catch that thief!" Someone shouted, and everyone rushed to catch Lao Zhang.
"Run! Catch that thief!"
Suddenly, the alley was bustling with activity, as if it had become the scene of a manhunt game.
Seeing this, the policeman couldn't help but laugh happily. After running for so long, he was a little tired.
"Damn it, who the hell is yelling!" Lao Zhang cursed in his heart, feeling even more desperate, but now was not the time to think about these things.
You have to find a way to escape from dozens of people to avoid being caught, otherwise you will be dead.
"Damn it! This is the only way!" Lao Zhang quickly thought of a solution. Looking at the bag of food on his back, he felt very sorry.
"Now is not the time to worry about food. Let's get out first! If we can't get out, the food will be useless!"
Lao Zhang made up his mind and untied the bag.
Suddenly, sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and other grains rolled out and scattered all over the ground.
In the dim night, everyone looked at the food rolling out, and their eyes instantly flashed with green greedy light.
"Grab!" The person running in front immediately squatted down to pick up food.
His action instantly made those who were originally thinking about catching Lao Zhang lose their mood and they all squatted down and frantically grabbed food.
This pick up directly blocked the people behind him and also allowed Lao Zhang to immediately distance himself.
"What are you picking up? Everyone has run away!" someone shouted, but was quickly drowned out by the noise of the crowd rushing to grab things.
"Hey, don't push me!"
"What are you doing? That's my food!"
"What did you steal? Give it back to me!"
Suddenly, the scene became chaotic and everyone scrambled for food.
Those who wanted to chase were unable to catch up, and the police were helpless when seeing this.
Looking at the quarreling people and then at Old Zhang who had already run away, he felt torn and at a loss as to what to do.
This thought caused Lao Zhang to disappear into the night, and the police could only deal with the situation at hand.
"Okay, stop arguing, what are you arguing about!" The policeman couldn't help but shout angrily and began to maintain order, sighing in his heart.
For this little bit of food, they let one person go. If they caught this person, they could follow the clues and catch more people.
Maybe we can seize more food, and everyone might be able to buy food.
But he didn't dare say this at this time.
For the general public, the food that can be seen right now is the most important compared to the food that cannot be seen.
After all, people have selfish desires.
Old Zhang, who had escaped from danger in front, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no one behind him.
"Finally, we got them away and can take a breath."
Lao Zhang leaned back and gasped for breath, then looked at the food on his back.
"Damn it, half of the food is missing!" The old man gritted his teeth in anger.
After taking a short break, Lao Zhang rode back home with food on his back.
The other two people who were being chased were also feeling bad.
Those who were better off than Lao Zhang only had 20 to 30 kilograms of food missing, while those who were worse off had 70 to 80 kilograms of food missing.
But it's better than getting caught.
The next day, at a factory.
The workers have not yet started their day's work.
In a corner of the factory, a group of five people came hurriedly, preparing to hand over their shifts.
Seeing that their companions were safe and sound, everyone couldn't help but feel relieved and put their minds at ease.
What everyone is worried about is that their companions will be caught. If caught, not only will their own safety be threatened, but more secrets may also be exposed.
If this is the case, they must find a way to escape and get away from this place of trouble, but where can they escape to?
"Seeing that you can come, I can finally put my fear to rest." Lao Zhang spoke first, his voice trembling with a hint of relief.
Ding Shou agreed: "Yes, luckily we were quick and didn't catch any of them, so the police returned empty-handed, otherwise it would have been terrible." The eldest brother looked around and felt a little unsafe, "Let's go, let's talk somewhere else."
Everyone nodded and followed the boss to a remote and deserted corner. Fortunately, it was not yet time for work and there were not many people around.
Here, they began to discuss what happened last night.
Ding Shou couldn't help but curse: "Damn it, who called the police yesterday, causing me to lose 70 to 80 kilograms of food?"
Lao Zhang agreed: "It's the same for me. I'm missing 50 kilograms of food. If I knew who called the police, I would kill him."
Ji Jie also agreed: "Me too, I have less too."
The three of them looked at each other, as if they shared a common hatred for a common enemy, and were full of resentment towards the person who called the police.
Ding Shou guessed, "Boss, who did you say called the police? Was it that upstart?"
Hearing this, the boss thought for a while, then shook his head: "Looking at his appearance yesterday, it shouldn't be him who did it. Even if this matter is reported, he won't be in any better shape."
"If he gets caught, he'll be in big trouble. Okay, I'll go ask about it at noon. Now is not the time to be thinking about this."
The boss ended the topic and the others stopped discussing it.
The boss added, "Business will be quiet for a while. Don't interact with customers for now. Wait until the storm has passed."
"Okay, the boss has the final say." Naturally, everyone had no objection.
The next step was the highlight. The boss frowned and said in a deep voice, "Now we have to think of a way. How can we hide this mortar?"
"Let's get the stuff out secretly. If the higher-ups find out, all five of us will be in trouble!"
Although it is unclear whether the police know what they are delivering, they have to be on guard.
If we hadn’t been discovered yesterday, it wouldn’t have mattered, but if we were discovered, we would have to prepare in advance.
It is not easy to steal such a large weapon, and it is even more difficult to do it quietly.
This weapon is not as easy to fool as bullets. Bullets are small, and if too much gunpowder is used, it can be falsely reported.
What's more, they have to face strict inspections from above, and they might be exposed if they are not careful.
Now comes the difficult part for them.
After these words were spoken, the other four people all frowned and looked embarrassed.
Ding Shou couldn't help but worry: "Boss, what do you think? We were just thinking about getting food yesterday, and we didn't think about this!"
"If I had known this would happen, I would have listened to Yuan Jue and not exchanged the food."
I didn't think about the consequences when I exchanged the food, and now I'm afraid to do it. It's like being a wise man after the event.
Yuan Jue said unhappily, "Okay, now you're scared. Didn't you want to change yesterday? It's useless to say this now. Let's find a solution quickly!"
The boss suddenly asked, "Ji Jie, are there any scrapped mortars in the armory that are not in the records?"
Ji Jie shook his head: "No, there were only those three numbers in the original gun warehouse, and none of them were scrapped."
Suddenly, everyone fell silent. There were only three of them, and one was obviously missing, which was extremely troublesome.
Lao Zhang: "Boss, how about we go to another factory and buy a scrapped one?"
The boss looked at Lao Zhang as if he were an idiot, "Are you afraid that others won't know that we're missing one?"
The boss's words left Lao Zhang speechless.
Ding Shou: "What should we do? How about we say it was stolen by a thief?"
The eldest brother immediately wanted to see Lao Zhang's eyes, and then looked at Ding Shou: "We are security guards, and we haven't even been robbed in our hometown. Do you think your life is too long?"
"It was kept so carefully, but it was stolen by a thief. Isn't this a slap in our face? Shouldn't the punishment be greater?"
Ding Shou spread his hands helplessly: "This won't work, that won't work either, Boss, what do you think we should do?"
Ji Jie thought about it but it was not a solution. "How about, if it really doesn't work, talk to that upstart. If we have to check here, can we borrow some from him?"
Ding Shou refuted without thinking: "This is even more impossible. They have paid for the things. How can they give them to us? If we don't pay them back, they will lose a lot of money!"
After thinking of a lot of ways, no suitable solution was found, and the situation suddenly came to a deadlock.
For a moment, everyone was in a stalemate.
On the other side, Li Kailang came to an empty and remote area outside the city alone while on a mission.
Suddenly, there was a loud "bang", dust flew everywhere, and a huge crater was instantly blown out on the ground.
"Beautiful!" Li Kailang waved and shouted.
"Even without the instruction manual, firing the cannon isn't that difficult!"
Lao Zhang and his team did not give Li Kailang instructions on how to use the mortar, but he had the knowledge brought by his proficiency in firearms and what he had learned in the past.
Li Kailang more or less knew how to use it, so he tried it out right away and found that it worked.
"The things are now usable, but the biggest gain this time is not the mortar, but the new discovery."
Li Kailang was delighted as he looked at the brand new mortar under his feet.
Yes, it is new, not old, not the one that Lao Zhang gave to Li Kailang, which had been used for a few years, but a brand new one.
This mortar does not go back in time to its initial state, but goes back in time to complete a new mortar.
Li Kailang has two mortars on hand.
Time goes back to yesterday.
After Li Kailang got the mortar, he saw that it was a bit rusty, so he couldn't wait to take it and reflux it.
The structure of the mortar consists of four parts: the barrel, the mount, the base plate and the sight.
Li Kailang took the gun body and base plate in for reflow yesterday, using up the stored metal scraps and over a thousand kilograms of grain.
Inadvertently, the complete mortar flowed back out, completing the unprepared gun mount and sight.
"Could it be that there are rules or functions that I haven't discovered?" Li Kailang looked at the new mortar in his hand in disbelief.
"Try using the gun mount and the scope." Li Kailang put the two into the backflow machine, but it didn't work.
I tried putting the gun barrel back in again, and it worked.
"Could it be that as long as the things that flow backwards account for half of the parts used, they can flow backwards?"
Following this idea, Li Kailang tried it once and found it worked.
After three backflows, the mortar originally given by Lao Zhang was backflowed to its original state, and a new mortar was also backflowed out.
At this point, Li Kailang had two new mortars in his hands.
But the most important thing about this backflow was not the mortar, but that it allowed him to discover a completely new function and idea.
"If we follow this idea and use more than half of the components to produce new items, then many things can be created out of nothing!" Li Kailang murmured to himself.
Bulletproof vests, guns, the general's golden seal, and even if the backflow machine was a little bigger.
Then it is not impossible for larger items such as motorcycles and trucks to be backflowed out.
"Even antiques, jade, calligraphy and paintings are not a bad idea. If I succeed, I can open a private museum in the future."
"However, things are valuable because they are rare. I definitely can't have so many of the same antiques." Li Kailang muttered to himself, fantasizing.
As for getting gold, Li Kailang did not have any wishful thinking, after all, the cost of getting gold was extremely high.
Li Kailang wanted to try it again, but the three chances to use it had been used up, so he could only wait until next month.
"What a pity. However, thinking this way, we can make some preparations in advance. We need to make the time machine bigger."
Li Kailang looked at the trucks at the foot of the mountain. It would be best if he had a truck that belonged to him alone.
