No Escape!_2 1084: Chapter 1032: Mysterious Speedboat!

No Escape!_2 The distance is closing, and the footage captured by the photoelectric capsule becomes clearer by the moment.

“I don’t think it’s carrying nuclear warheads!”

Tang Xiao passed a cup of water to Wu Jie and pulled up a chair to sit down.

Wu Jie sneered, “If I were them, I definitely wouldn’t transport it by speedboat.

At this critical juncture, it’s naturally best to find a secluded place to lay low!

It wouldn’t be too late to move the nuclear warheads after a while.”

Tang Xiao glanced at the screen and muttered to herself:

“I think Hittory is still crucial in finding those two nuclear warheads, even though he has lost contact with the two squads by now.

At least he knows where he sent them initially and what kind of equipment they were given.”

“If we can get our hands on that information, we can also deduce their potential escape methods, but I’m still very curious, why didn’t Hittory and his men leave the two warheads on the cruise ship?”

Putting down his water cup, Wu Jie chuckled lightly, “Because they’re afraid of being wiped out in one fell swoop!

Imagine if they encounter someone fearless, someone who demands to attack and seize by force, wouldn’t it be such a pity if the hard-earned nuclear warheads were snatched away?”

Tang Xiao pursed her lips.

“That’s true!

And if they encountered someone even more ruthless, like some country that directly uses several anti-ship missiles to blast the cruise ship to smithereens, letting the nuclear warheads sink into the ocean, then it would all be whitewashed in one go!”

No sooner had she finished speaking than an intelligence officer at the External Affairs Bureau’s workstation pressed the call bell.

“Report, two amphibious planes are expected to land in fifteen minutes!”

Tang Xiao immediately stood up.

“I’ll go and bring Hittory back!”

“Wait!”

Wu Jie stopped Tang Xiao with a scrutinizing gaze.

“What’s up?” Tang Xiao asked with some surprise, “The two mercenary squads have fallen off the grid, the only lead we have now is on Hittory, this…”

Before Tang Xiao could finish, seeing Wu Jie’s unmoved expression, she gave an awkward smile and sat back down.

Wu Jie sighed heavily and said solemnly:

“I know why you’ve come to the Jiazhou continent, you’re really eager for a big fight!”

“I also know how competitive and fearless you are, not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, nor any hail of bullets and gunfire!”

“Nearly four years away from the battlefield, it must almost drive you mad, hasn’t it?”

Tang Xiao smiled a little embarrassingly.

“You’re still laughing!!”

Wu Jie rolled his eyes and said coldly, “Before we went to Sangrek, I’ve noticed that you were fully prepared for combat, even discussing tactics with the counter-terrorism special forces more than once, right?”

“I…

I was just being cautious.

How could I have known you would have such an aggressive artillery plan?

You didn’t even tell me beforehand…”

Tang Xiao lowered her head, pouting her red lips, her tone carrying a hint of resentment.

Wu Jie chuckled, “At the end of the day, you just want to fight, to utilize your strengths and really have a big go at it.

But when there are better ways, why take the risk?”

“Risk?”

Tang Xiao lifted her head, asking in surprise:

“Just going to the airport to catch Hittory, and he doesn’t even bring many followers.

How difficult can this task be?

How can it be called a risk?”

Wu Jie couldn’t be bothered to explain anymore.

He turned around and immediately started typing commands on the keyboard.

Before long.

A drone surveillance video appeared on one of the screens.

In the footage, a convoy of armed pickup trucks, mounted with heavy machine guns and autocannons, carrying numerous armed fighters.

They were all racing, kicking up billowing dust and sand, like a long dragon heading straight for the Nabiya City airport.

“There are about a dozen armed pickup trucks here, nearly a hundred people, right?”

Wu Jie cast a sidelong glance at Tang Xiao and slowly said:

“Their combat discipline is pretty poor, you could say they’re a ragtag bunch, but with so many people and so many guns, even random firing is a formidable firepower that cannot be underestimated!”

“Even if you are the Special Forces King, you are not an invincible warrior.

Large-caliber bullets hitting you will still blast you in half, don’t say you have nine lives like a civet cat!”

Tang Xiao’s lips twitched slightly; she dared not utter another sound.

Special forces operatives are not invincible symbols but have stronger comprehensive qualities and can carry out diversified missions compared to ordinary soldiers.

Special operations are not about direct confrontation; the principle of combat is to achieve the mission with the smallest cost.

Therefore, special forces operatives need to be skilled in camouflage and infiltration, adept at launching surprise attacks, emphasizing ‘asymmetric warfare’.

Having special forces operatives line up and battle against these armed militants?

Such incidents had happened before.

A twelve-man elite special unit from the Star Federation, on a routine patrol mission in a certain country, clashed with the local regular army’s platoon and engaged fire with a terrorist radical organization.

The enemy, possessing a large number of heavy machine guns and rocket launchers, held a significant advantage in firepower.

Even with inferior tactical knowledge, they still managed to kill four special forces operatives…

Did Tang Xiao think she was so tough?

Impervious to knives and guns, immune to bullets?

Wu Jie showed her the drone aerial surveillance footage, letting her see with her own eyes how many people went to retrieve Xu Kuishan’s body.

He wanted her to realize just how dangerous this mission could be.

Though Hittory intended to defect from the Auxiliary Business Association, Xu Kuishan was unaware.

If anything were to happen, Xu Kuishan would surely have the group of armed militants protect Hittory.

Going there would be no different from delivering a free kill.

“Then…

do you have any plan?

If we let Hittory escape, it will be even harder to find those two nuclear warheads!”

Tang Xiao asked with some concern.

Wu Jie gave a faint smile.

“I haven’t figured out a way yet, but we won’t catch him now.

We’ll make our move when Hittory starts defection with his bodyguard, just the two of them, the success rate is obviously higher than hijacking at the airport directly!”

“So we just continue to wait!”

Tang Xiao sighed lightly, neither lightly nor heavily.

“Alright, I’ll go get some lunch.

We need to eat well to have the energy to work!”

After watching Tang Xiao leave, Wu Jie then switched the screen display.

Through Phantom’s perspective, he took a look inside the airplane cabin.

Xu Kuishan was guarding three corpses, his expression one of grief and numbness, his eyes hollow.

Meanwhile, Hittory and his bodyguard sat together, whispering to each other.

Because of the roar of the plane, Xu Kuishan, of course, didn’t know that the two were discussing where to flee.

They had to select a place to hide that would be untraceable by intelligence agencies of various countries and could also avoid the Auxiliary Business Association’s pursuit.

But no matter how they plotted, the outcome was already determined.

Before long.

After the plane landed, Hittory had the crew help Xu Kuishan move the bodies off the plane.

Once the plane was refueled, he and his bodyguard took off, flying the plane.

But it wasn’t to Strehl Manor; after takeoff, they planned to fly straight into the depths of the desert.

Thinking about fleeing, you son of a bitch?

Is it that easy?

Wu Jie made a snap decision and ordered Phantom to hijack the plane…
