Chapter 81: Summary of the operation
“To force Lu Fanming to the border is already the best result we can achieve. After all, there are many factors to consider in such a battle! I will only say two things. First, stop them as much as possible, don’t leave one behind. I don’t want to use heavy weapons, and the country doesn’t want to either. Using these things on the border is sensitive. Second, you all have a signal gun in your hands. The information we have is that the little devil has already been handed over to someone, and a team has already gone to eliminate the little devil. However, due to our limited intelligence, we cannot completely rule out the possibility that the little devil is following Lu Fanming. If you find the little devil, I ask that you do not resist and immediately use the signal gun in your hands. Do you understand? Finally, I hope that everyone can return alive.
This is what Jiang Yi came here to tell us. After he finished speaking, I raised my glass and toasted with us. This was a farewell toast before we set off. After all, this mission was a bit difficult for us, but there was nothing we could do about it.
Because more of our strength is going to the little devil…
“Heavy weapons don’t have eyes, so it’s best not to use them if you can avoid it.” One person said lazily, and then the first one jumped onto the big truck that was used to carry us.
Everyone knows what heavy weapons represent. The department will not allow one person to escape successfully this time. At a critical moment, it is difficult to guarantee that the power of technology will not be used. But what does this bottom line represent? Perhaps it will be used when all of us have sacrificed and failed to stop it.
And at the border…
I didn’t think too much about it, and I just quietly jumped onto the truck and sat on the edge of the compartment. I didn’t want to think about it, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t understand. Jiang Yi’s reason for proposing the use of heavy weapons was also to remind us that there was a possibility of total sacrifice.
But he said I would live. I squinted and lit a cigarette, with only one thought in my mind: Really? Who will save me then? But whoever it is, I won’t leave without killing Lu Fanming.
The car started to move, and the atmosphere in the cabin was silent. Only the captain, Wang Wu, was explaining the operation to us. Because the operation was highly confidential, he only received specific instructions at this time.
“The car will not continue to move beyond this point. We will have to walk the rest of the way. We must arrive at this point before 4 a.m. tonight! Lu Fanming and his gang will arrive at this point by midnight tomorrow at the latest. We must allow some time for rest and to set up some things.” Wang Wu pointed to the map and told us about the arrangements for this operation.
At this point, someone spoke up: “The border is so long. What if Lu Fanming and his group don’t pass this location?”
His question also represents the question of most people. When it comes to this question, Wang Wu explained, “Our operation is actually backed by a large number of operations to ensure our operation this time. Lu Fanming will definitely pass through here. He wants to return to Nanyang and has contacted several people in advance. These people are equivalent to the people who will lead him and the people who are going to escape with him to Nanyang. These people have actually been controlled by us and have become the key bait to hang Lu Fanming. I don’t know how complicated the process is, and the place where they meet is here…
Wang Wu pointed to a location while he was talking. I looked at that location. Indeed, if they were to go there, the location we were guarding would be the only way for Lu Fanming to pass! It can be imagined that behind this operation of ours, there are no shortage of dangers and thrilling actions that are no less than our operation.
Therefore, we cannot fail. Therefore, Jiang Yi mentioned heavy weapons, and there must be something else behind it, but Jiang Yi did not mention it!
What could it be? I suddenly couldn’t help but think of that purple color, that resolute back鈥擸ang Sheng. If that’s the case, there might be an explanation for the extent of this operation!
“The contact person over there promised Lu Fanming that as long as they successfully connected, Lu Fanming and his group would completely get rid of my control and be completely safe, so everyone doesn’t have to worry about us missing the target. In fact, the time they agreed on was between 4 and 5 a.m. tomorrow. Crossing the border on the mountains can only be done on foot, and there is a certain distance between here (where we are ambushing) and here (the street), so it is initially judged that Lu Fanming and his group will pass here at the latest tomorrow night.” Wang Wu is a very patient person, and he gave us a complete explanation from all aspects.
“In short, Luo Fanming and his men’s movements are completely under our surveillance. If there are any changes to the plan, everyone will be notified.” After saying this, Wang Wu put away the map and then took out a sealed envelope from his breast pocket and threw it to Xiao Bei, saying, “This is the detailed diagram of the formation given by the higher-ups. Xiao Bei, you will be in charge of setting up the formation. Liu Bo, Li… you guys will be assisting. Shouldn’t there be any problems?”
Of course, the advance preparation is the formation, which can help us a lot, but it is still surprising that it is almost a whole day in advance. What kind of formation is it that requires so much advance preparation?
Xiao Bei took the sealed envelope and took out the detailed diagram of the formation and began to study it. At the same time, several people who were responsible for assisting Xiao Bei in drawing the formation also crowded around Xiao Bei to study it together. Wang Wu said beside him, “The materials needed for the formation have all been prepared in advance and are in the car. You can rest assured. Take a good look. The effect of this formation is really great and is related to the key to the success of our operation this time. You must not fail.”
Wang Wu was so serious that I was also very curious. I couldn’t help but glance at the formation. Just one glance, and I felt that the formation was extremely complicated, and the name was also very “domineering.” It was even called the “Trapping Immortals Formation.”
I don’t know if it can trap a fairy, but I dare to give it such a name, so it must have an effect of attacking in addition to trapping. Truly powerful formations are compound formations!
Xiao Bei began to study the formation attentively, while Wang Wu was still telling us the details of the operation: “According to the above description, this formation is the most suitable for this operation, but the strange thing is that once this formation is completed, it will start on its own. There is no such thing as controlling the formation with the eye of the formation. It is a broken formation, so once once activated, it will only be effective for an hour, after which it will be completely useless. We cannot set up the formation in advance, and this is the reason why. Moreover, we cannot wait too long in advance, lest we scare the snake by disturbing the grass. After all, a few people have been controlled over there, and the people in the core circle have not been alarmed yet. Our actions are too hasty, so it is not certain.
Wang Wu didn’t go into too much detail, but I understood roughly that our actions were also restricted, and we could only time them well. After all, the representatives from Nanyang were also a circle of power, and at this time, it was better not to collide naturally.
After talking about the detailed plan for the operation for a while, Wang Wu was also a bit tired. He leaned against the edge of the carriage and said, “Over the years, the predecessors in the department have either retired or disappeared, and some have had to retire to the second line due to injuries. The department is in a period of transition, and it is also time for our younger generation to grow up and take on the responsibility. We can’t always rely on the older generation, so this operation should be a beautiful answer we submit.”
Everyone was silent. From this time on, the younger generation will be the main force in this operation, which shows that what Wang Wu said is true.
The compartment was very stuffy because for reasons of secrecy, the entire compartment was covered with a tarpaulin. A chandelier hung from the ceiling, attracting a lot of mosquitoes. The position was given to Xiaobei so that he could see the formation diagram clearly. As for us, we sat on the edge of the compartment, and our clothes were wet with sweat again and again.
After swaying for more than an hour, the car finally arrived at its destination. It was already on the edge of the mountains, sparsely populated, and the dirt roads were almost invisible. Many people were extremely tired after getting off the car. After all, the stuffiness was not something everyone could bear.
Hui Gen took off his shirt and tied it around his waist, wearing only camouflage pants. A dagger hung from his belt, and as he walked, it hit his thighs. Indeed, he had put down his rosary and picked up his dagger.
I picked up the water bottle and took a sip of water. Although I really wanted to drink a few more, I had to wait for a long time in the hot mountains and forests, so I was very careful with the water. I could only drink a sip, and I stopped drinking when my throat felt a little better.
Everyone was resting, but it was only five minutes before Wang Wu’s voice came to everyone’s ears: “Let’s go!”
Looking at the vast mountains in front of me, I prayed in my heart that if we could come this way, we could also return safely from the mountains!
