Chapter 2167: Chapter 2070: Major Operation
Yu Fei wanted to ask something else, but Gu Xu stopped him: "In that case, can you call on your senior brother and the others to help again?"
Gu Xu’s words were clearly to help Huo Sining cover up, and Huo Sining knew it well. After feigning hesitation, she said:
"I don’t know, they’re quite busy. I have to ask them first."
A hint of a smile flashed in Gu Xu’s eyes as he signaled to Huo Sining: "Then make a call to check first. If it doesn’t work out, we’ll have to make long-term plans."
Huo Sining heard this and quickly nodded, stood up with her phone, and went to the balcony. She pretended to call her non-existent senior brother. After a short while, she bounced back into the room from the balcony, excitedly telling the two:
"He agreed and asked us to send the plan over once it’s set up. He’s already arranging for someone to come over and help."
The couple seemed utterly unflustered when pulling the wool over one’s eyes, meanwhile Yu Fei took it as truth, his eyes wide with joy.
He had personally witnessed how capable Miss Huo Sining’s mysterious senior brother was, who could quietly empty the Jingdong Museum of its exhibits. Such a person could definitely be considered god-like, with skills Yu Fei had always admired. Unfortunately, he never got to see the real person, which made it quite regrettable.
Now hearing that this senior was going to act again, Yu Fei was instantly excited, eager to meet this idol immediately.
However, his wish was likely to be dashed again.
Because after a thorough plan was laid out, he was once again assigned to a safe area, still responsible for the hacking part.
Yu Fei was suddenly frustrated, but there was no choice, for he was destined to work in logistics.
Huo Sining was unaware of this soldier’s thoughts. If she knew, she would laugh heartily, as it turned out there was another fervent fan of her fictitious senior brother, but since this ’senior brother’ was made up by her, where could she find a real one for Yu Fei to meet? Rather than letting hope be dashed, it was better to let her elusive ’senior brother’ retain some mystery.
The portions of the secret files concerning the black trades have been handed over. What’s left pertains to Tranleva’s cunning and elaborate secret bases. The data contains not only some research information but also detailed structural diagrams of the base, which are crucial for Huo Sining and the team to breach.
As night fell, Huo Sining squinted slightly, gazing outside and speaking softly: "Hopefully by this time tomorrow, Tranleva will remain as tranquil as the Mexican sky."
According to the plan, Huo Sining and Gu Xu changed out of their casual clothes in the hotel and put on bulletproof vests that Gu Xu brought along. All the tools for this mission were packed into Huo Sining’s storage ring. Fortunately, the guns and ammunition they brought to Mexico were scarcely used, and after returning home, Gu Xu hadn’t returned them to the armory, so they were coming in handy this time.
Once everything was ready, over there Yu Fei had also finished calibrating the necessary devices. Based on their earlier measurements of the base’s distance, the trio set off for the first drug lord’s stronghold in the Malad Mountains.
The car departed from the hotel, leaving the city. During the ride, Huo Sining chanted the Invisibility Spell to avoid surveillance. It wasn’t until the car entered the deep mountains, far away from the city, that she undid the spell.
The whole time, Yu Fei, who’s been driving, remained oblivious, puzzled as to why throughout the trip he went through several toll gates without anyone charging him.
Thus, they drove all the way into the Malad Mountains. Guided by the base diagrams, they smoothly reached their destination. By that time, it was exactly midnight local time.
After arranging Yu Fei at a safe location several kilometers from the base, Huo Sining and Gu Xu feigned meeting with personnel supposedly sent by the mysterious senior brother. After parting ways with Yu Fei, they swiftly arrived at the base’s perimeter.
With the base’s structural diagrams as an index, they quickly found the massive sewage outlet of the base. Standing at the tunnel entrance, Gu Xu looked a bit worried, fearing Huo Sining might not adapt to such an environment, especially since she was pregnant, as the odor inside the sewage tunnel was indeed unpleasant.
But Huo Sining merely smiled; while others might be allergic to the sewage outlet, she was protected by the Water-Repelling Pearl, unafraid of such things. Otherwise, when she first went fishing in the Yellow River years ago, she would have been engulfed by the silt and dirt there long ago, let alone standing here unharmed.
The Water-Repelling Pearl wasn’t for naught; with this cheat tool, a mere sewage outlet was nothing for Huo Sining.
The two of them, with flashlights in hand, crouched and entered the tunnel. After walking and stopping for nearly half an hour, finally, they successfully arrived at a location indicated by the map, which was the only weak point of the base.
After a brief survey, Gu Xu gave Huo Sining a nod. Quickly, a small Silent Laser Cutting Device was pulled out from Huo Sining’s storage ring.
After handing the device to Gu Xu, as the water gushed out from the sewage pipe, the faint vibration of the machine was concealed. Lime from above fell slightly as the laser drill moved, but soon a strange sputtering sound was heard, accompanied by the smell of burning wood wafting down from above.
Huo Sining’s heart lifted with joy instantly; she knew the drill must have drilled inside.
Soon, the sound of the laser drill spinning on empty reached their ears, and Gu Xu felt the drill in his hand lighten. He swiftly turned it off.
With a bit of force, they detached a layer of wood over stone, revealing a hole just big enough for a person to pass through, now into their sight.
However, they didn’t rush up, instead they took out a detector and gently poked its head out.
It was a new device, utilizing a pinhole camera on a telescopic rod to see the situation within dozens of meters in the vicinity. When Huo Sining pushed the rod upward, the entire view of the base warehouse was displayed on her phone below.
Soon, the detector revealed the situation; there was no one inside.
Seeing this, Huo Sining signaled to Gu Xu beside her, and the two quickly leaped up using the Invisibility Technique.
