Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger
Chapter 806 - 752: Departure
Mountain Eagle and his team woke up early, and after breakfast, they left all the supplies at the Hunter's Lodge and in the tent on the ice, then painstakingly placed the white moose onto a large tray formed by combining two sleds, and pulled it back to the camp slowly using two snowmobiles.
The lake wasn't too far from the camp, and after returning to the camp, Mountain Eagle immediately sought out Razer and Sled. After a brief discussion, Old Qiao and Quida assisted in planning the route north. Mountain Eagle greeted Xiao Wan and Tessa, then started to prepare the items needed for the outing...
Everyone had a snowmobile, and the rear carriage of each snowmobile was equipped with spare fuel. They also had to tow a sled to carry outdoor supplies and help the accompanying Maghenxi Wolves conserve their strength.
The sled was specially designed by Old Qiao, the veteran hunter, with a length of two meters and a width of one meter. The bottom of the sled was lined with waterproof and warm fur, and the front end was designed with two slots. By inserting two steel rods and securing waterproof cloth around them, the sled could not only carry supplies but also serve as a simple small tent.
Mountain Eagle was preparing for a large-scale interspersed transfer, requiring lots of supplies that couldn't rely solely on manpower and animal power; they had to use snowmobiles for transit.
The Huai'en Tribe in the north could provide fuel supplies, while Old Qiao and Quida would head south to the wetlands to set up one or two fuel supply points, hiding the fuel in a concealed location and placing beacons.
While Razer and the others prepared supplies, Mountain Eagle activated all the camp's defense facilities and went with the two electronic equipment experts, Donkey and Hummingbird, to familiarize themselves with the camp's defenses again and assign permissions.
Xiao Wan accompanied the whole time without saying a word until Mountain Eagle handed her a tactical terminal and used her fingerprint to establish the highest authority, then she pulled Mountain Eagle to a relatively quiet place...
"Stay safe, I'll take care of the camp here, and I'll look after the kids!"
Seeing Xiao Wan silent for a few seconds, she embraced Mountain Eagle tightly, burying her head in his chest, worriedly saying, "Does it have to be you?"
Mountain Eagle gently patted Xiao Wan's back and said, "Because I'm the most suitable person...
Xiao Wan, from the day I fell into the Mekong River, I've been caught in a 'war,' a war ordinary people cannot see or participate in!
I never wanted to involve you and the kids, but my enemies are too strong. I must put you in a place I think is safe so I can fight them without distraction!"
Watching Xiao Wan's slightly reddened eyes, Mountain Eagle said with a hint of helplessness, "I do have another option, which is to abandon everything and find a place where no one knows us to spend the next few decades.
But then I would be unsatisfied, and the result would be equally unfair to you!
You're my wife; I won't say 'sorry' to you over such matters. When you knew I was lying on a bed dying and travelled thousands of miles with the kids to see me, we became one!
Some risks must be borne by me so that I can control the situation, guiding the progress of events into a track I can oversee.
So don't try to persuade me…"
Xiao Wan looked at Mountain Eagle with tearful eyes, nodding with a thick nasal sound, "I understand. You must be careful to come back the same way you went out!
Many people care about you; you need to take care of yourself to return and take on responsibility…"
Mountain Eagle paused, and with a dry smile, tried to shift the topic. But Xiao Wan grabbed his collar, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him forcefully on the lips, "Come back safe. Don't worry, I won't bully Tessa…"
Mountain Eagle sighed helplessly, "Shall I buy you a bag or a house or something?
This lingering love doesn't match the image of a big boss like me at times like these…"
Xiao Wan laughed out loud and then brushed Mountain Eagle's cheek with her hand, "What should the demeanor of a big boss be like?
I've seen many mistresses of high officials and big bosses, and they are usually like mice when they see the wife. Tessa is quite peculiar; she wasn't nervous when she saw me, but rather, she kept staring at my butt.
For those knowing, Thais are open-minded; for those unaware, they'd think she wanted to court me."
Mountain Eagle, hearing this, rubbed his face vigorously and hugged Xiao Wan's shoulder, "You saying that made me worry even more...
Don't worry. I'll definitely come back safely; otherwise, after painstakingly accumulating some wealth, it might get taken away completely by some Thai girl.
That's just outrageous…"
Xiao Wan gave Mountain Eagle a playful punch in the waist and tiredly said, "It's good you know, take those two cougars with you when you leave; they're definitely stronger fighters than those wolves.
Don't push yourself too hard; if necessary, retreat.
The camp's defenses are solid, and it wouldn't be bad for our family to confront the enemy together!
You can't always try to shoulder all the risks by yourself...
I'm your wife; when there's fortune, I should enjoy it, and when there are difficulties, I'm willing to stand beside you!"
Mountain Eagle heard Razer's call on the radio and walked with Xiao Wan towards the camp exit, nodding, "Don't worry, I've got it under control...
I'll head north first; there are fewer enemies there, they're definitely not my match. Over the next few days, when I cross the river to reach the southern wetlands, 'Harlow' and 'Katie' would come in handy.
Remember, you are now the boss of the camp, everyone must follow your orders!
Blood Fox will be back soon, if there's anything about camp affairs you don't understand, ask Daria. For anything related to combat, ask Blood Fox. They will help you make decisions!"
Saying that Mountain Eagle patted Xiao Wan on the shoulder, then proactively walked over to Tessa waiting at the camp exit. After a moment's hesitation, he hugged her, got on the snowmobile, and rode out of the camp without looking back...
Razer watched Mountain Eagle leave the camp as if fleeing, the old guy glanced at Xiao Wan and Tessa, then shook his head with a smile...
"Don't worry, your men won't die..."
.........
Mountain Eagle drove the snowmobile. He traveled over twenty kilometers on the rugged snowy terrain, only reaching the location of the Huai'en Tribe by the time the sun was about to set...
A village made up of dozens of wooden houses was nestled among the woods, a half-frozen river skirting its edge.
As Mountain Eagle and his team arrived, hounds began barking in the village...
Seeing a few fur-clad hunters come out with guns, Mountain Eagle stopped Balang, who had jumped off the sled and was about to lose his temper at the hounds, then got off the snow vehicle himself and walked toward Wayne who was coming out to meet him...
Stepping forward on the thick snow, Mountain Eagle gave Wayne a hearty hug and with a smile, said, "Sorry to trouble you..."
Wayne, who seldom smiled, shook his head with a stern face and said, "Mountain, our tribe never betrays the trust of friends! Your enemies are our enemies!"
As he spoke, Wayne nodded at Razer, Sled, and Chakdi, then turned towards the village with Mountain Eagle's arm in his, saying, "Mountain, I've already instructed all the hunters to get ready, whenever you need..."
Mountain Eagle quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, you got it wrong! I don't mean for you to risk your lives with me; I'm here to install some equipment and also to warn you to be careful."
Wayne, a man of few words belonging to the Indian community, didn't respond to Mountain Eagle's words but nodded, saying, "I don't know what difficulties you're facing, but I can guarantee no one can approach the Brown Bear Camp from this direction.
You can rest here tonight, tomorrow I'll have someone accompany you with supplies and fuel to the Valley Ranch."
Mountain Eagle listened, shook his head, and rejected the offer, saying, "No need, find me a suitable location, preferably one where kids can't reach, I need to install some weaponry."
Upon hearing this, Wayne frowned and said, "Is it that urgent?"
Mountain Eagle nodded seriously and said, "It's very urgent because my enemies aren't just from the north. I need to deal with them quickly, then turn to the south..."
With a somewhat serious expression, Wayne led Mountain Eagle around the small village briefly, then stopped in front of his wooden house...
"What are you planning to install? There isn't any place in the village that kids can't access, the best way is to install it in my home. My wife usually doesn't go out during winter, she can help keep an eye on it..."
Mountain Eagle, having just taken a lap around the village, indeed realized that there was no place more suitable than Wayne's house.
Only half of the homes in the village had generators; most used solar panels and batteries for lighting, purchased from the Brown Bear Camp.
Mountain Eagle wanted to set up a Spring Knife launch box here, as well as a Spearhead Missile just in case.
There was indeed no more suitable place than the roof of Wayne's wooden house...
At this moment, Mountain Eagle had no intention of wasting any time. He voluntarily explained what he was installing and then drove the snowmobile to Wayne's doorstep, set up a ladder, and delivered the two launch boxes to the platform on the roof.
After finishing the installation and disguising it with a simple wooden cover, he ran an electrical cord from the house to power the two launch boxes.
Once everything was set up, Mountain Eagle jumped down from the roof and handed Wayne a GPS, seriously saying, "I'll return from the north in at most two days, I need you to take some people to a few designated locations tomorrow and help me set up some fuel supply points.
After setting up the fuel supply points, I want you to take the Spring Knife and Spearhead Missile to Russian Mission.
You saw how I set it up earlier, once I give you the signal, just power them up and move them to an open space. I'll take care of the rest."
After hearing this, Wayne, a bit dissatisfied, said, "Mountain, we're friends. You can't exclude us from the fight. No one can bypass us to cause trouble in Russian Mission..."
Mountain Eagle shook his head with a smile and said, "I believe you, that's why I need you to take the people and equipment to upstream Russian Mission...
Help me hold that place; keeping an eye on the upstream river is the greatest help you can provide to me!"
