Chapter 2169: Chapter 2072: Cleaning Out
But unfortunately, Huo Sining’s Invisibility Technique is precisely the loophole in this infrared sensing technology.
Once Huo Sining and Gu Xu are shrouded by the Invisibility Spell, an invisible barrier is formed around them, making them not only invisible to the naked eye but also undetectable by infrared for any heat fluctuations.
With this reliance, the couple leisurely wandered through the warehouse like visiting a supermarket, casually examining anything curious they came across. Once they determined an item was worth taking back for research, they would unhesitatingly store it in the storage ring.
For this operation, Huo Sining had emptied the storage ring beforehand, but as a non-living object, the space inside was fixed, and its capacity was ultimately limited.
Therefore, Huo Sining and Gu Xu dared not just store anything inside. After exploring around the warehouse, they picked and chose, naturally discarding anything worthless or of no use.
The warehouse indeed contained a lot of good stuff. This might be Tranleva’s largest base, thus a lot of effort was invested, with an array of cold weapons, drug stockpiles, and various valuable items.
Huo Sining wasn’t particularly interested in those cold weapons, but Gu Xu clearly liked them a lot, so naturally, Huo Sining didn’t hesitate to take them all away.
The drugs and instruments, of course, weren’t missed either. Any valuable items with identifiable origins were also swiftly stored by Huo Sining.
Moreover, inside the warehouse, Huo Sining noticed a safe embedded in the wall.
Even though she knew there must be something good inside the safe, lacking the combination meant it would be difficult to open it in a short time. Gu Xu intended to give up.
After all, they were here as ’Gentleman on the Beam,’ and although Yu Fei had arranged everything and they were invisible, there was no guarantee that the security patrol outside wouldn’t notice something, which could complicate matters if they rushed in.
So, to avoid this scenario, Gu Xu decided to make it quick.
However, a sudden idea flashed in Huo Sining’s mind—a method she had never tried before.
Her storage ring could take in anything, but it always had been freestanding objects. She had never tried with an embedded wall safe.
Huo Sining thought she might as well give it a try.
The more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. Her eyes brightened, and she couldn’t help but reach out and place her hand on the safe.
Without much hesitation, she silently muttered ’collect’ in her heart, and the wall-embedded safe disappeared right in front of Gu Xu’s eyes with a swish.
Seeing the bare wall with only a few thick external wires left, even Gu Xu couldn’t help but gape.
"It worked!"
Huo Sining couldn’t help but grin, silently whispering ’yes’ in her heart.
The warehouse was full of good stuff, and with this, they filled the space up to 99%. It took them almost two hours to empty the warehouse.
As she leisurely stored the items into the storage ring, Huo Sining couldn’t help but find it amusing. She was sure this would be the largest theft in all of Mexico, no, all of Latin America. If Tranleva wanted, they could probably apply for a Guinness Record; perhaps no one could surpass it in a short time.
After scanning the warehouse one last time to ensure nothing was left, Huo Sining prepared to leave.
At that moment, Huo Sining suddenly stopped Gu Xu: "Wait a minute."
Gu Xu paused, instinctively looking at Huo Sining, puzzled: "What’s wrong?"
Huo Sining pointed to the luxury cars parked on the other side of the warehouse, smirked, and asked Gu Xu: "Do you know how to dismantle car parts?"
Gu Xu couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
After both of them quietly left the base through the cut hole and returned to the sewage outlet, they contacted Yu Fei. Once successfully reunited, Huo Sining and Gu Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This was Gu Xu’s first time doing something like this, feeling a bit thrilled. But for Huo Sining, this wasn’t her first rodeo, so she was already used to it and only felt a bit on edge when entering, leaving hardly a ripple in her mind.
Yu Fei, however, had been kept in the dark, thinking that the real mastermind behind the operation was Huo Sining’s so-called elder brother. After seeing Huo Sining and Gu Xu return, Yu Fei curiously glanced behind them. Confirming no one else was there, he felt a bit disappointed.
"Sister-in-law, where’s your elder brother? Did they leave? Did you... succeed?"
Huo Sining nodded: "We did. It’s inconvenient for us to carry the stuff around, but he has a special transport channel to send everything back home, so we don’t have to worry about the rest."
Hearing this, Yu Fei became more intrigued by Huo Sining’s elusive elder brother. After all, they had contacted this brother on a whim for help since arriving from home. Surprisingly, he agreed, and not long after, they indeed succeeded.
Yu Fei had been monitoring the entire situation. From when Huo Sining and Gu Xu began their action to their safe exit, it took only two or three hours. In such a short time, they managed to succeed, which made the elder brother’s skills seem almost miraculous!
No matter how hard he pressed for information, Yu Fei couldn’t glean anything about the elder brother from Huo Sining, which left him feeling quite defeated.
Having obtained a substantial haul, Huo Sining felt that all the losses suffered at the hands of the drug lord had been compensated for, leaving her in a much better mood. Even in this unfamiliar Mexican land, she felt a newfound sense of kinship.
Huo Sining could foresee that once Tranleva discovered what had happened to his base the next day, he would be utterly shocked. The corner of Huo Sining’s mouth curled into a smile. She could already envision the amazing expression Tranleva would have.
However, Windsor Caesar was still in the hands of the drug traffickers. The urgent task ahead was to rescue him.
