Chapter 707: Chapter 316: Boiling the Eagle, Assault_3
They breathed a sigh of relief, went back to the factory, and reported to One-eyed Dragon: “Boss, it was the fuse that was blown, it’s fixed now.”
The inspector handed the fuse to One-eyed Dragon, who took it and glanced at it. The ceramic piece of the fuse was charred black, and the electrically conductive metal at both ends was rusted—it seemed quite old.
One-eyed Dragon also breathed a sigh of relief, “As long as it’s natural damage, that’s good.”
He then felt he was being too cautious, seeing shadows everywhere. Those DEA guys couldn’t possibly have such great capabilities, he was scaring himself silly!
Despite thinking this, he still instructed: “Send a few more people to patrol, work in three shifts tonight, report immediately if anything happens, don’t let anyone get out of sight, check the condition of the vehicles in the garage, make sure they can be driven normally, tires, engines, fuel level – no problems. And most importantly, cut off the network!”
“Understood.” The drug cartel members immediately turned and left to carry out the orders.
Another half hour passed by quickly, and the A10 Warthog was on standby at a nearby town’s airport. The Black Hawk helicopter was also lying in wait on the plains.
Beggar Gang Disciples and investigators were monitoring the drug traffickers’ every move, and occasionally reporting back. Two groups, like hawks on the lookout—one openly and one in secret.
Allen Zhang glanced at the time; it was already 1 AM. “No need to rush, they’ll fall asleep eventually.”
One-eyed Dragon also glanced at the time. It’s already 1 AM?
Time to sleep.
After scribbling on some documents, One-eyed Dragon turned off the lights and walked out of the Central Storage Warehouse, stretching his arms.
As soon as he stepped out, he heard two underlings mumbling, “Damn it, we’ve come to this godforsaken place, how could DEA people still chase after us? Why be so cautious? It was just a moment of internet connection, and now they won’t even let us scroll through TikTok. I haven’t even tipped my favorite streamer today.”
“No choice. These are the boss’s orders. Those DEA investigators are like ghosts; you never know when they might sneak up along the network cable.”
Seeing the two yawn, eventually, someone couldn’t stay awake any longer.
One-eyed Dragon immediately went over and scolded: “Stay alert, until the negotiations are done for the day, we don’t have absolute safety!”
“Got it.” The two underlings snapped to attention, standing up straight.
One-eyed Dragon nodded in satisfaction, then turned and walked away, entering a building next door.
Beggar Gang Disciples were chewing on a bag of coffee powder to stay alert. They noticed One-eyed Dragon, the suspected boss. They immediately reported: “Boss, there’s movement! That guy seems to be the head of the drug cartel.”
The investigator also identified One-eyed Dragon and reported the information to Chief Raylo, “Target confirmed, it’s the high-level leader of the drug cartel, One-eye. He came out of the Central Storage Warehouse, the hostages are most likely hidden there.”
“Start the assault!” Chief Raylo commanded.
Allen Zhang also agreed with the strategy and called for the A10 and Black Hawk helicopter to take off, “Begin bombing! Avoid the Central Storage Warehouse.”
Beggar Gang Disciples were positioned with the VSS sniper rifle, aiming at two drug cartel guards.
Trigger pulled, with a snap, the subsonic bullet shot out, hitting the target’s head directly.
Beside him, the other cartel member froze for a moment, turned to look at his yawning comrade, suddenly dumbfounded. Before he could react, he too was headshot by a flying bullet.
His vision went dark, and he dropped dead immediately.
The rest of the drug cartel members, seeing their companions suddenly fall outside, were stunned, crying out in alarm: “Ambush! Ambush!!” They hurriedly raised their AK47s and started blazing away into the sky.
One-eyed Dragon, who had just lain down on his bed, heard the thunderous gunshots outside, and his eyes snapped open. He rolled out of bed, grabbed the revolver from under the pillow, ran over to push open the window, and saw nothing but darkness, other than his own people shooting.
The next second, a burst of flames surged, and a rocket trailing smoke shot out from the dark forest, heading straight for his building.
“???” One-eyed Dragon was completely baffled.
“WTF…”
