CHAPTER 521: CHAPTER 521: PURSUERS, NEW FORCE, ISLAND

Bahamas, a major island.

Upon hearing Mona’s words, Luo An, Winslow, and Chenier immediately turned their gaze to her computer screen, indeed seeing photos of Detective Alex and Jesper.

Chenier opened her mouth but said nothing. Perplexed, Mona asked:

"Chenier, what do you want to say?"

"Um..."

Seeing that both Winslow and Luo An had turned their attention to her, Chenier put on an embarrassed smile and said in a low voice:

"I didn’t mean anything else, just genuinely curious how you, Mona, always manage to use the computer to precisely locate people."

Mona rolled her eyes wordlessly, turned back to the computer screen, and explained:

"Locating Jesper and Alex doesn’t really take any effort.

Ever since they arrived in the Bahamas, gunfights have erupted across these islands, so naturally, their information showed up in the Bahamian police system."

Mona stated that within the third hour of Alex and Jesper arriving at the Bahamas Islands, a group dressed just like the bald men before had reached the Bahamas.

The pursuers quickly found Alex and Jesper, and a gunfight broke out. The pursuers, being more numerous, overpowered the two easily and captured them.

After the combat ended, the Bahamian police planned to step in to clean up, but suddenly another equally well-equipped new force emerged, clashing with the captors of Alex and Jesper.

Caught off guard, the pursuers retreated while fighting, and are currently cornered on a small island within the Bahamas Islands.

As for the Bahamian police, some higher-up issued an order for unknown reasons, preventing them from intervening with force; they are now discreetly waiting on other islands for the battle to end.

"..."

After listening to Mona’s account, Luo An and the others fell silent, unsure of what to say.

Chenier quietly apologized to Mona, who waved her hand to indicate it was okay. Winslow looked to Luo An and asked:

"What should we do next?"

Luo An paused for a few seconds, then asked:

"Mona, can you find out the number of pursuers and the new forces?"

"Before landing on that island, there were around 10 pursuers and about 18 from the new forces."

Mona typed a few keys, then looked up to answer:

"However, the island has dense vegetation and complicated terrain. Plus, since some higher-ups above have remained silent, the Bahamian police haven’t landed there yet, so they are also unaware of how many are still on the island."

Winslow’s eyes sparkled with an idea:

"Luo An, are you suggesting...?"

Luo An replied:

"Call headquarters for backup, then land on the island to capture them."

After a few seconds of pondering, Chenier said:

"If we land on the island as a third party, it might provoke a joint attack from both forces on the island."

"So, before we land, we need to disguise our identities."

Luo An grinned and pulled out his phone to call Trick Kennedy.

————

The Bahamas, located southeast of Federal Florida’s coast, northeast of Cuba, consists of over 700 islands, only about 20 of which are inhabited.

Due to its proximity to the Federation, the US Dollar has directly become the common currency of the Bahamas, with the economy almost entirely dependent on tourism.

Receiving Luo An’s call, Trick Kennedy, who was arguing with someone at the FBI Washington Headquarters, did not hesitate. He immediately paused the argument, stepped out of the room, and called certain individuals on another phone.

In less than an hour, Luo An’s group met the 7-person squad sent by Trick Kennedy.

The captain of the 7-person squad was a middle-aged white man with a full beard. He beamed, extending his hand to Luo An:

"Hello, I’m the captain of this team, just call me John."

"Just call me Luo An."

Luo An shook hands with him, and Winslow and the others took weapons and ammunition from his team members. At Luo An’s request, most of their equipment matched what the island pursuers had.

Once it was confirmed that Luo An and his group had received the weapons and equipment, Trick Kennedy spoke seriously on the phone:

"Luo An, you’re in command of this squad temporarily.

Additionally, I’ve sent someone from the federal to support you in the Bahamas, they will arrive in three hours, be extremely careful on this trip!"

"OK."

Luo An briefly chatted with the other party before hanging up the call. Before Captain John arrived, Luo An had already received orders from Kennedy, without wasting time, Luo An directly started discussing the plan for landing on the island:

"Mona, once we land on the island, try to infiltrate the pursuers’ communication channel. We will pretend to be the bald man’s team we saw before, launch a pincer attack first, defeat the new forces, and then defeat the pursuers, capturing Alex and Jesper."

Mona nodded emphatically in agreement, Captain John heard this and frowned slightly, asking:

"Group Leader Luo An, why don’t we wait until the fight on the island is over before we go and capture them?"

Luo An glanced at Captain John, and while organizing his weapons, explained:

"First, it’s been 5 hours since both the pursuers and the new forces landed on the island. During this time, it’s impossible for them to just sit idle on the island; they must have engaged in battle, so their numbers must have decreased.

Second, the island is not small, both parties have several boats, and we have only a few men, it’s impossible for us to spread out and guard the entire island. If we wait until their battle ends, the winners holding Alex and Jesper could escape, and it’s highly likely we won’t find them immediately.

The island is not far from Cuba, and escaping to Mexico is not difficult; we cannot chase them all the way to Cuba or Mexico.

Third, the Bahamas police, due to orders from higher-ups, have taken no action, I suspect that the one contacting these higher-ups could very well be the boss behind the forces fighting on the island.

If the fight on the island continues non-stop, it’s highly probable that the boss will send more reinforcements, and then there will be even more enemies on the island, making us even more passive."

Click—

Loading the magazine full of bullets into the gun, a crisp sound emerged, Luo An looked up at Captain John:

"Any more questions?"

Captain John grinned and shook his head:

"Group Leader Luo An’s analysis makes sense, I have no more questions."

"Good."

Luo An stuffed smoke grenades and grenades into his belt, waved his hand:

"Let’s go!"

As he spoke, 11 people split into two teams, driving two speed boats towards the target island.

The boating process went smoothly without any attacks, the group successfully landed on the island and moved into the jungle, pausing to survey the surroundings, Luo An looked at Mona, asking:

"How’s the channel? Can you connect to the pursuers?"

"I’m working on it."

Mona’s brow furrowed, she rapidly worked on her computer and communication device; just then, gunshots suddenly sounded from not far away, followed by Captain John’s team member’s voice in everyone’s communicator:

"Contact with enemy! They have spotted us too!"

"Attack!"

Luo An wasted no time, immediately ordering his team members to start attacking the enemy. He then asked Chenier to stay back to protect Mona while she kept trying, and together with Winslow and Captain John, he quickly moved deeper into the jungle with guns drawn.

Bang Bang Bang—

"Enemy attack! Enemy—"

Following Luo An’s order, intense gunfire immediately erupted on the southwest side of the island, Captain John’s team members collaborated to kill two enemies, Winslow raised his hand and shot another trying to communicate, Captain John looked at him appreciatively:

"Nice shooting."

"Uh."

Winslow nodded emotionlessly, then walked over to Luo An, who was examining the bodies, and asked:

"Group Leader?"

"These three enemies belonged to the new forces Mona mentioned before."

Luo An stood up from beside the corpses, looking towards the scattered gunfire in the distance, his eyes narrowing slightly:

"Also, their equipment looks strangely familiar."

Winslow paused for a few seconds, suddenly his eyes widened as something clicked.

Just then, a frantic warning from "emotional perception" inside his head caused Luo An’s expression to change. He forcefully pushed Winslow down while shouting:

"Everyone! Get down!"

The next second, a penetrating bullet hole appeared in the tree behind where Luo An and Winslow had been standing!
