Chapter 964: Riot is about to break out
Many roads in Hong Kong are not flat, but undulating like mountains. As soon as Dabao passed an intersection, he saw many people squatting on the side of the road, some of them carrying machetes and red tasseled spears.
These people all agreed that they were wearing flowered shirts, which seemed to be the standard outfit for underworld brothers. Without a flowered shirt, they would not have the face to hang out.
Dabao looked at his watch. It was now 6:40 p.m., which meant they had only 20 minutes left to start the action?
Along the way, we passed many shops run by Taiwanese people. Not far away from the shops, there were many young people squatting. They all had long hair and wore flowered shirts, with knife handles and sticks sticking out of the canvas bags behind them.
Dabao's consciousness spread out and just covered a shop run by a Taiwanese who sold nougat.
Dabao was stunned when he saw it. He stopped and pretended not to care and walked into a cold drink shop next to him, but his consciousness was still tightly wrapped around the nougat shop.
I saw that the store door was tightly closed, and seven or eight people were squatting at the door, holding guns and machetes in their hands. The man squatting on one knee in the front was holding a pistol with a silencer in his hand. He turned around and said to the people behind him.
"They're going to rush in soon. I'll shoot two of them first, then you go up and chop them with your knives. Remember, make sure you chop away where I hit you. Don't let the British Hong Kong government get hold of anything."
"Yes, team leader."
"Remember, cover your face with a cloth when you chop people down. After you're done, set fire to every house. The bigger the commotion, the better. When the people of Hong Kong start to riot, you can retreat secretly and meet up with us at Kowloon Walled City."
"Yes."
Dabao had a rough idea of what was going on. The Taiwanese were trying to take advantage of the situation and start a riot. He had wanted to ask Xiaodao to notify Guo Yingnan and Bo Hao, but when he looked up and saw the flag of the British Hong Kong government flying on the flagpole not far away, he couldn't help but sneer. He went out and greeted Xiaodao, and the two continued to walk forward.
Before they reached Kowloon Walled City, they could smell a foul odor from afar. Xiaodao was almost choked to tears. He took two quick steps and grabbed Dabao.
"Master, what's that smell? It's so pungent."
Dabao stopped and looked at Kowloon Walled City from afar. It was a housing village with self-built buildings built one after another. They were not as tall as they were in the 1970s, but the outline could be seen.
"It's a mixture of excrement, decaying human and animal corpses..."
Xiaodao couldn't help but click his tongue.
"Oh my god, how do people live in there? I thought Longxugou was the dirtiest place in the world, but compared to this, Longxugou is incredibly clean."
Dabao snorted. In the 1970s, 50,000 people lived here, but there were only two toilets and no water supply or drainage. How do you think people were supposed to live?
Dabao and Xiaodao didn't move forward, but just watched from a distance. A dozen children were playing football outside, and their laughter kept coming over. It seemed that the people here were not as sad as Dabao and his friends had imagined...
Suddenly, shouts and cries of killing were heard behind them, and the riot officially began.
Within five minutes, a raging fire broke out in the Kowloon City area, with countless people shouting and some even screaming.
"Master, it seems like a fight has broken out. Should we leave or stay here?"
Dabao turned around and stood on a high place, looking at the flames rising into the sky in the distant city. He waved his hand, and the two of them walked quickly towards West Kowloon.
Almost in an instant, the Kowloon City area became chaotic, with countless people pouring into the streets, and people everywhere were looking for people from Taiwan. However, after leaving the shops, no one dared to be sure where these people were from.
Taiwan was originally a gathering place for defeated soldiers and their families. People from all over the country, with different accents, came here. The same is true for Hong Kong. Since a large number of people from South China poured in, people from all over the country have come here as well.
People crowded into the streets and could not be distinguished, but the gang members were full of energy and wanted to earn the reward money. The disappointment of not catching the Taiwanese people made everyone crazy. They were no longer just here to catch the Taiwanese people, but quickly joined in the looting and smashing.
Xunzi said that human nature is evil at the beginning. Everyone has bad qualities in his bones. When doing evil things, his blood boils. Soon the riots spread to the whole West Kowloon and Mong Kok.
Dabao and the others returned to the Grand Hyatt Restaurant. Guo Yingnan was sitting in a wheelchair, and he and Bohao were standing on the balcony of the restaurant, staring down in amazement.
Several dwarf mules from the gang tried to break into the Junyue Restaurant with knives and torches, but were interrupted by Xiao Erduo and his apprentices, and their hands and feet were thrown outside.
Seeing how ferocious the people inside were, those who participated in the riot did not continue to come in.
Dabao stood next to the two of them. Bohao had never seen Dabao before and looked at him in surprise. Guo Yingnan pointed outside and said to Dabao.
"What are they doing? Is everything sealed off?"
Dabao held onto the balcony, looked coldly at the men holding silenced pistols and said,
"This was all orchestrated by the spies from Taiwan. They didn't want to sit idly by, so they started this riot. However, the more chaos, the better..."
"Then what should we do now?"
"Wait!"
"Wait? Waiting for what?" Lame Hao couldn't help but interrupt.
Dabao didn't even look at him, but just said lightly.
"In a little while, the bomb disposal team from Hong Kong will show up, and by then these Taiwanese spies will have evacuated to a safe place. I'll then go there and catch them all."
"What? A safe place? Where?"
Dabao turned his head and said while looking into the distance.
"For them, there is only one safest place: Kowloon Walled City!"
Lame Hao sighed and shook his head.
"If we really get into the Walled City, it will be bad. We can't get involved with the gangs inside the Walled City, and they won't hand anyone over to us."
Guo Yingnan exclaimed,
"Ah Hao, didn't you just come out of the Walled City? What? Even you can't do it?"
Lame Hao gave a wry smile.
"Don't look at me outside. People always call me Brother Hao when they see me. Back then, I was just a small fry in the city. If I hadn't saved Brother Luo, I wouldn't be where I am today."
Guo Yingnan asked in surprise.
"I know there are three major factions in the Walled City. They are all extremely fierce and good at fighting. However, we in Dongxing are in the New Territories, unlike your territory in Kowloon, so we have more contact with them."
It seemed as if Bo Hao was answering Guo Yingnan's words, but also as if he was talking to himself.
"The three great factions of the Walled City: Li Cunxiao, the Thirteen Guardians; Tornado and Feng Yiming of the Dragon and Phoenix Hall; and Xiang Yicheng of the Overlord Pavilion. Each of them possesses unique skills and has occupied the Walled City for decades. Even the police dare not enter. People say that I, Bo Hao, am a lunatic, but in my opinion, everyone in the Walled City is a lunatic. Anyone who isn't a lunatic can't survive there..."
