Extreme germ phobia

Chapter 168: Sneaking in the Dark
Baifeng Town camping area, southeast corner.

Parker held Cardin's arm and led the latter into the temporary shelter. As soon as the door was closed, he immediately let go of Cardin, went to the window, opened the blinds, and looked around vigilantly.

Cardin sat down on the sofa, holding his swollen face and screaming, and kept asking Parker to avenge him.

After Parker made sure there was nothing unusual around him, he leaped in front of Cardin and grabbed his neck fiercely: "Shut up!"

Cardin was frightened and quickly shut up his chattering mouth.

Parker's face was gloomy. "Kadin, I warned you not to stir up trouble like a stud. You didn't understand, did you?"

Cardin's eyes wandered, not daring to meet Parker's gaze, but he stubbornly argued, "They're just a few Orientals. What's the big deal?"

"What's the big deal?" Parker slammed up. "You got beaten like a pig by some Oriental guy, and you still tell me it's a big deal? What else do you have on your mind besides women? Menstrual blood?"

Cardin was filled with shame and anger: "I will make that Oriental man pay the price, I will...hiss..."

His movements were too big, causing the wound to hurt, and his harsh words were instantly replaced by groans of pain.

Parker was disappointed: "With your inability to accomplish anything and your tendency to cause trouble, what price can you expect the Orientals to pay?"

"Parker, I will!" Cardin cursed fiercely.

Parker sighed and held Cardin's neck: "Look at me, look at me!"

Cardin was very dissatisfied and looked at Parker.

Parker lowered his voice and said, "Listen, remember what we are here for. If you cause trouble again and affect the plan, the boss will personally give you a quick death, okay?"

A hint of fear immediately emerged from Cardin's stubborn eyes: "Okay."

"Very good." Parker patted Kak's head. "I don't have time to play childish games with you. Getting injured is not a bad thing. From today on, you stay home and recuperate. Don't cause any more trouble. OK!"

"So, is this matter over?" Cardin clenched his fists tightly.

Parker felt exhausted. "Once we control Baifeng Town, those Orientals will be at your mercy. By then, you can retaliate however you want. The same goes for that Oriental woman. You can do whatever you want with her. Got it?"

"I understand!" Cardin nodded heavily.

"Very good." Parker patted Cardin's shoulders twice and emphasized again, "But before that, don't cause any trouble."

"I know," Cardin said.

Parker comforted Cardin a few more times, turned around and left the house. His expression was extremely gloomy, and he portrayed the depressed brother who was beaten but unable to retaliate to perfection.

In the room, Cardin was like a grumpy hedgehog, cursing and slamming the pillow viciously, as if it was Ouyang who was being slammed.

Off-road RV in the northwest corner of the camping area.

The three people were scattered in different locations, vigilantly observing the situation outside.

Ou Yang even personally monitored the four-way surveillance system, not missing any abnormalities.

Zhu Yiming said solemnly, "Ouyang, that guy is not a good guy. This matter is definitely not over. We can't just sit there and wait for death. It's too passive."

Ou Yang remained silent with a sullen face. Jiang Yuwei said guiltily, "It's all because of me..."

"What nonsense!" Ou Yang interrupted rudely, then thought his attitude was too harsh, so he slowed down his tone and said, "This matter has something to do with you, but it's not your fault."

"That's right!" Zhu Yiming chimed in. "According to what you said, isn't that just victim blaming? Ou Yang and I aren't that confused about right and wrong."

Hearing them say this, Jiang Yuwei felt much better: "Thank you."

"Why thank me? We're companions, and this is the way it should be!" Ou Yang waved his hand. "Don't always take the blame on yourself."

Zhu Yiming immediately agreed and changed the subject to get back on track: "There's no such thing as a thief stealing for a thousand days. I suggest we find a way to resolve this problem as soon as possible."

"I was thinking about that too." A knot formed between Ou Yang's eyebrows. "I've thought of every possible method, and none of them seem reliable."

Zhu Yiming was puzzled: "Safe?"

"Right!" Ou Yang nodded. "Either we don't do it, or we do it completely. We just had a conflict today, and that kid got into trouble. Anyone would know it was us. It would be best if we could come up with a way to make everyone know it was us, but without any evidence."

"Huh?" Zhu Yiming was stunned. "Isn't this too difficult?"

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. As long as they take action, there will be evidence left behind. Moreover, they are all ordinary people. It is impossible for them to create a perfect crime scene like in movies and TV shows.

He racked his brains and reviewed all the movies and TV shows he had watched: "Then we have to let this kid have an accident, and it can't be an accident that has anything to do with us!"

Jiang Yuwei said weakly: "Or, forget it."

"Absolutely not!" Ou Yang's fingers tapped unconsciously on the table. "It would be great if we could get him into conflict with the garrison. Is there anything the military absolutely cannot tolerate?"

Zhu Yiming and Jiang Yuwei racked their brains at the same time, but before they could figure it out, the knocking sound suddenly stopped. Ou Yang's face lit up with joy: "Got it!"

Zhu Yiming chuckled: "I thought of that too!"

Jiang Yuwei blinked: "I have an idea too."

Ou Yang smiled happily: "Are we thinking the same thing? Come on, write your own answers and we'll check the answers later!"

The three of them wrote down their answers and put them on the table, then opened the book together.

Ou Yang wrote about spores, Zhu Yiming wrote about infection, and Jiang Yuwei wrote about the epidemic.

Although the content is different, it is actually the same thing.

Seeing the answers of others, the three of them laughed together.

We have a solution, but we still need to think about how to do it in the long run.

Baifeng Town is located on the edge of the epidemic area. There are no infected people at all, and there is no place to collect spores. It is necessary to get some spores back through truck drivers, vehicle guards or other people who can enter the epidemic area openly.

However, once they obtain the spores through other people, there is a risk of information leaking. The best way is for them to enter the epidemic area themselves.

Ou Yang glanced at the time and said, "It's too late today. Let's go to the recruitment point tomorrow and say that we've run out of money. We'll apply to join the convoy and serve as escorts."

"Okay, let's do it!"

At the same time, the town government office.

Sergeant Major Serkis knocked on Jedi's office with his PKM in his arms, placed the machine gun on the desk, and the ammunition belt rattled. "Major, look what I found!"

Jedi's eyes widened: "Where did it come from?"

This is a machine gun, it’s a fucking machine gun, and it’s made of wool!

Serkis recounted the conflict in the camp and finally explained, "This thing is too dangerous and illegal to possess, so I brought it back."

Jedi was completely confused: "Does this thing belong to those Orientals?"

"Correct!"

Jedi thought for a moment and said, "Orientals don't like to cause trouble. Those Orientals have always been very quiet, right?"

"Yes!" Saikis nodded. "That Kadin, he's a bad boy, right?"

"Yes!" Saikis continued to nod.

Jedi grabbed the ammunition belt and looked at it. "I guess Cardin won't just let it go. What do you think?"

"The inevitable result."

"Very good." Jedi walked to the window and looked at the camping area in the distance. "Warn Cardin and the other bad guys. I don't want to see any vicious incidents in White Maple Town."

"Yes sir!"

"Also, return the machine guns to the Orientals. Make a big noise so everyone knows the Orientals have machine guns."

"Give it back to them?" Saikis was a little confused. "They still have pistols, enough to protect themselves."

Jedi smiled and said, "We should give good kids some rewards, right?"

"Okay, I get it." Serkis couldn't figure it out, but it didn't affect his execution of the order. "Do you need me to warn the Orientals?"

"Okay." Jedi nodded, "Go ahead."

Serkis saluted and left with the bolt in his arms.

Jedi poured himself a cup of hot coffee and took a sip. "You want to buy a gun when you already have one? What on earth are these Orientals thinking?"

A few minutes later, a military vehicle drove into the camping area. After scolding Ouyang a few words, Serkis personally returned the machine gun to Ouyang.

Neither Ou Yang nor Zhu and Jiang thought that the machine gun that had been taken away could be taken back.

The news spread quickly in the camping area, and the Americans began to speculate about the origins of these Oriental people.

Cardin was first warned by the military, and then received news that the machine gun was returned, and the bad boy broke through the defense on the spot.

Anger overwhelmed his reason and he actually started arguing with Serkis. The sergeant major beat Cardin without hesitation, making him cry for his parents.

Parker was almost devastated.

They don't punish the diligent, they don't punish the lazy, they only punish the blind. How dare this guy try to reason with the US military? Isn't this just walking into trouble?
He kept apologizing and saying nice things, and finally calmed Serkis down. Otherwise, Cardin would have been half-dead, if not dead.

After Serkis left, Parker scolded Cardin again.

Cardin, who suffered a series of blows, said nothing, but his heart was filled with hatred.

He not only hated the Orientals and the Sergeant Major, but even Parker was hated by him.

The next day, Ou Yang found the recruitment point, but the truck drivers and guards had long been overstaffed and recruitment had been stopped. Only the Bear Seventh Battalion was still recruiting.

The unwilling trio found a truck driver who had just returned to Baifeng Town. They used the excuse of returning to the epidemic area to look for relatives, hoping to take his shift, but were also rejected.

When the news reached Jedi's ears, his only thought was that the Oriental wanted to leave for a while to avoid the limelight.

"Orientals are too timid." This is Jedi's comment, completely unaware of the real purpose of Ou Yang and others.

A few days later, late at night.

It was a dark and windy night with stars but no moon.

The clock struck midnight, and a dark shadow quietly left the camping area and went into the woods outside the town.

He was very vigilant and would stop to look around every few steps to make sure there was nothing unusual before continuing on his journey.

At 0:28, the black shadow arrived at the designated location on time.

There was silence all around as the black shadow waited patiently. As soon as 0:30 arrived, he immediately covered his mouth with his hands and made a series of lifelike low calls of a night owl.

With a rustling sound, several haystacks hidden in the darkness were instantly opened, and several fully armed men came out.

The leader scolded in a low voice: "I am Commander Wood, you are late."

"I'm Parker." The shadow responded in the same low voice, "It's not too late, the time is just right!"

Wood didn't dwell on the timing issue: "Let's get started!"

Parker immediately pulled out a hand-drawn map, and Wood whispered, "Raincoat!"

Immediately, an armed man took out a raincoat from his bag and covered Parker and Wood with it.

After making sure it fit perfectly, Wood turned on the tactical flashlight to illuminate the map.

The scattered light also illuminated Parker's face, but that was not Parker at all, it was clearly Cardin whose cheeks had not yet completely recovered from the swelling!
He pointed at the map and said, "This is the camping area, this is the barracks, this is the arsenal, this is the town hall, the headquarters is on the second floor... Here, here, and here are the sentry towers; here, here, and here are the secret sentries, which also serve as firing points..."

"And here!" Cardin, impersonating Parker, pointed at the northwest corner of the camp. "There's an off-road RV here, another military sentry. There are three Orientals and a machine gun!"

He made up stories, his heart pounding.

"What time is the changing of guard?" asked Wood.

"Change every hour!"

"Excellent!" Wood called several shadowy figures to his side. "Check the time. It's 0:47!"

Several people press the crown at the same time to synchronize the time.

Wood lowered his voice. "Team A, go south and target the town office. Team B, go west and target the arsenal. Team C, create chaos. Team D, provide support from the perimeter. Team E, block the attack. I don't care what method you use, but at least buy the other teams ten minutes. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Several voices responded at the same time.

"Alright, each team will clear the sentries along the route and launch the attack at 1:30 sharp. Move!"

After listening for a while, but not hearing any group heading northwest, Cardin couldn't help but say, "I'm very familiar with my camping area. Do you need any help?"

Wood thought about it and nodded: "You follow Group B."

Cardin chuckled and gave a rather awkward forehead-touching salute: "Got it!"

In the darkness, several groups quickly dispersed and approached Baifeng Town from different directions. After a while, they arrived near the outer sentry tower one after another, hid in the darkness, raised their guns, and the crosshairs in the sight were facing the sentry's forehead.

But they did not shoot, but waited patiently.

At around 1:00, the sentry who was to take over the shift appeared and officially took over the post after a brief handover.

At 1:04, the laid-off American soldiers returned to the barracks. A slight knocking sound was heard from the radio, which had been silent all the time. Various soldiers responded with the same knocking sound and quickly made corresponding preparations.

At 1:05, teams from several directions opened fire simultaneously. The submachine guns made only a very slight sound, and sentries in all directions were shot at the same time.

Each group immediately took over the sentry post, stripped the sentries of their uniforms and put them on their own people, openly occupying the position.

After eliminating the hidden dangers, the others quickly crossed the sentry posts and approached their respective targets. They were all veterans from the epidemic area, had rich experience in special operations, and were familiar with the habits of the US military. It was just a matter of taking out a few sentries during the infiltration. There was no simpler task than this.
