“Zulu 10, this is Charlie 2. Target killed.”
It was Jake’s radio that approached before he knew it.
He opened his mouth again as he carried Norman’s corpse in one hand.
“I will secure the body and leave. Please confirm by expulsion.”
At the same time, Norman’s body sagged like soaked laundry, dripping blood and liquid less like a marching bubble.
By the time it was confirmed again that he was dead.
The radio arrived quickly.
– This is Zulu 10. All personnel, as of the current time, exit to 025.
Zulu 10 was the command center, and 025 was one of several eviction operations.
And 025 was in an unwelcome way.
It was because I had to go in the direction of Tai Mo Mountain in Hong Kong, which I had troubled a while ago.
At the same time, about half were supposed to hide and swim in the rivers of Hong Kong and Shenzhen before boarding cargo ships.
As a result, it was split into two groups.
One on a cargo ship, one into the mountains.
Among them, we were going to go into the mountains and move to a temporary CIA safe house in Hong Kong.
About 2 km from here.
If you look at the numbers alone, it was a decent unit.
It takes less than 7 minutes if you run as if you were jogging in the morning.
However, there are many things to consider here. Mountainous terrain, a helicopter about to take off, and other pursuit groups and military police to spread the siege.
It would probably take another 10 minutes, with the possibility of a skirmish occurring during that time.
In other words, this also means that it is more difficult than penetration.
If you make a mistake, one of your colleagues may be injured or killed, and there is a possibility that the entire operation will go awry.
It was because I was standing on Chinese soil, not even in a disputed area.
However, as the preparation period was long, I was prepared to some extent.
In addition to military satellites, Dvok (secret burial sites) were prepared for ejection everywhere, and various disturbances were planned in the nearby area.
It’s not perfect, but it wasn’t bad at all.
I should be able to last about 10 minutes.
As I turned and moved along with that decision, I heard the voice of a military satellite operator.
– 16 police cars approaching. It is expected to take about 4 minutes to arrive, and 66 military trucks depart from nearby units.
I heard the unit of 16 police cars and 66 trucks and moved faster.
This was because it was not a hundred units, but a thousand units. Of course, this is also the concept of an advance team, and if it moves properly, it will reach 10,000 units in an instant.
I wouldn’t know if the cars were all empty, but that couldn’t be the case.
Because it was a country with a huge population.
Coincidentally, instead of Jake carrying Norman, I also heard the voice of Andrei, who was assisting behind me.
“Whoa, crazy Chinese bastards. They come like swarms of vermin.”
By the time I agree with his words.
Before I knew it, the reliable Delta Force members who were here and there also joined the expulsion.
I took a quick look, but luckily there seemed to be no casualties.
I hadn’t heard any radio reports of casualties before, but they all seemed to have dodged blind bullets.
Of course, there will be minor abrasions and bruises, but they are not important.
The bullet had to be enough to kick the tourniquet.
There was also a saying that it wasn’t an injury unless it was enough to pick up a part of the body.
Perhaps it was the same thought, the radio came just in time.
– Everyone is fine. Let’s all go back safely and have a beer. Let me buy it.
“Yes, that’s good.”
Instead of eyes, the night vision goggles gave a short answer to the person they met.
Following Jake’s instructions, I opened the Dvok I had hidden in advance.
There was a diver propeller used for infiltration in special warfare, which was not used because of the noise when it came.
It was something like a two-man boat with a submersible motor and screws.
Of course, a one-meter-long machine that a person hangs on rather than a rideable vehicle would be an accurate description, but to me, it was as good as a luxury yacht.
It was because the buildings on the river bank were gradually lighting up, and the radio reported that the pursuit team had joined again.
A situation where almost thousands of people run here.
They had to move as quickly and safely as possible, and diver thrusters were perfect for that.
During the two weeks of training, I practiced boarding and operating methods every day, but my ability to handle this was only secondary.
There were other people who drove properly.
Right Rachel.
Perhaps she was born to handle machinery, she became a skilled water agent in just two weeks of training.
It’s the same now.
“No more than a gauge or compass. I’ll go into three. Lee, get ready.”
With the diver’s thrusters on the back of a quick, terse horse, he went into the river.
While the cold river water I felt when I penetrated soaked my whole body, I started moving forward with the power of the underwater motor and screw.
Even in the middle of it, it was time to fix the gun with my right hand.
Suddenly, a gunshot was heard.
I was crossing the middle of the river, and the flashlight was shining here and there, and bullets flew.
Of course I didn’t get it right.
Their aiming skills were also lacking, but more than that, it was thanks to Rachel’s signal to go in and out of the water repeatedly.
And soon reached the other side, Hong Kong land.
Behind me, Jake and Harry, Andrei and Jose, and 16 Delta Force members in one troupe.
Amidst the sound of dripping water, Jake came over and put his hand on my shoulder before I knew it.
“You worked hard, Lee. Run as fast as you can without worrying about what’s behind you. If a situation arises, take action first.”
“All right.”
That’s how Jake took his hands off me and gave me a hand signal, but I realized as I turned around.
That a corpse was still resting on his shoulder.
It was clear that he would probably continue to move in that state, so he quickly stepped out of Jake’s radio for a moment in admiration.
– All move.
The direction to move forward is one of the shallow mountain ranges from Tai Mo Mountain.
It wasn’t the shortest distance, but it was the safest route to the CIA safe house, and it was an area where you could avoid helicopters and other aerial pursuits.
Although the leaves are falling, it was easy to hide thanks to the still dense foliage.
So, although the process of exiting was a bit difficult, the exit itself was not bad.
Because it passes through rivers and mountains.
Of course, this route wasn’t good for everyone.
After all, it was bad.
I could hear heavy breathing right behind me, probably because of the mountain canter after the engagement.
It was Andrei, and I could hear Jake’s heavy breathing as well.
Everyone said that he had the stamina to walk up the mountain like a meal, but he still couldn’t compare to me.
I’ve never been tired thanks to the special stamina attribute.
I had to run a marathon, and it was a bit out of breath, so it was difficult for even the best crew members to follow me.
Even now, the situation was not good in many ways.
It was a mountain in Hong Kong that I was not familiar with, and I was moving with a wet body, and from the start, I was running with a heat-blocking tent over my face.
Almost live show.
In response, I ran quickly and asked because it was not long before I reached the CIA safe house.
“Charlie 2-1, this is Charlie 2-2. Is the leading speed okay?”
While waiting for Jake’s answer, he heard Andrei’s voice from behind.
“Huh… Shut up and keep going!”
It was, as expected, Andrei’s venomous words, but the content of what Jake continued was the same.
– after… Because the speed is fine… keep it
Everyone seemed to be forced to speed up because of me, but I couldn’t ask if I was okay.
It was because the radio that worried me had arrived.
– 2 enemy helicopters taking off, expected to arrive in the vicinity within 10 seconds.
“Oh, again?”
As I muttered to myself, just in time, I began to hear the sound of helicopter rotors dissipating breathing.
Doo doo doo doo-
It should probably arrive in this area within 10 seconds, but I heard words that seemed to add spice to it.
– Approaching Hong Kong police from 550 meters away. More than 10 police cars were mobilized.
Ten police cars felt like an insignificant number, but it was not easy to see.
If you get caught from now on, really big things will happen.
Of course, it wasn’t the worst yet.
China made some preparations, but it was thanks to its continued delayed response.
I don’t know if it’s China’s own lack of military commanding ability or the quality of its troops itself, but it was a welcome thing for us anyway.
If it was this much, it wouldn’t be bad to infiltrate again next time.
If it weren’t for the trap, this kind of response would be enough to destroy.
With that thought, the trees shrank before I knew it, and a building began to appear in front of me.
Warehouses and factories made of tin plates to be precise.
It was when I slowed down at the appearance of a rusty and roughly wired building, resembling an abandoned building.
As if he had been waiting, Jake came over and put his hand on his shoulder.
“Over there, move across the alley toward 3 o’clock. See that bluish iron plate over there? You can go back over there.”
“Ah yes! I see it.”
I quickly responded to Jake’s words and gestures.
It was because the tin plate wall I had seen in the picture came out.
That was part of the exterior of the CIA building.
To be precise, it was one of the factories in Hong Kong, and it was a very usable building with a new escape route by digging a tunnel underground.
As a result, they approached quickly as if they were running up a mountain while receiving a hand signal.
It was far from a tactical approach, but it was inevitable.
I was already hearing the constant noise of helicopter rotors, so it was better to run fast than to move slowly and safely.
As I ran, the tin door that I had been waiting for opened.
An Asian person who appeared next confirmed the pronunciation in fluent English, and then guided me in the lead and spoke.
“welcome. welcome.”
“thank you.”
“From now on, I will guide you. Please come this way.”
After crossing such a narrow yard together.
When I opened the door of the old factory, I felt the smell of iron and damp damp inside.
For a while, I was impressed by the smell that might have been entered by mistake.
Before I knew it, an Asian person who turned on the light introduced himself.
“I am in charge of the safe house for the CIA. Feel free to call me Jin.”
“Yes, nice to meet you, Jean.”
“It was really hard to come. Now, I will take you to a real safe house.”
That’s how a man named Jin led us deeper into the factory, and the end, as expected, was the basement.
It smelled worse than the factory, but Jin opened his mouth as if he knew it well.
“I put some rotten vegetables. That way, it’s easier to avoid surveillance.”
“… Ah, yes.”
“There is a real door inside. Come in. It is different there.”
There was another door inside the basement that I moved along like that, but the inside was different, as Jin said.
It was as expected.
Made of clean prefabricated panels, it also houses a rest area, an interrogation room, an arsenal, and a control room.
Andrei slumped down and said cursingly.
“Damn it, I’m going to live a little longer.”
I laughed lightly at his words, while Jake, who had put Norman down, made a new report to the command center.
A new radio has arrived.
– I wish to prepare for an additional exit.
It was something I heard within a few seconds of starting to rest comfortably, but I was impressed by the words that followed.
– Currently, China and Hong Kong are searching the vicinity of the exit route, and as the number of personnel continues to increase, it is expected to approach the safe house within five hours.
At the same time, Andrei’s mouth opened violently.
“These damn bugs… … .”
