Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger-Chapter 1036 - 970: Trouble

Mountain Eagle drove the all-terrain vehicle towards the border river and immediately noticed people on the hillside.

Feeling something was amiss, Mountain Eagle glanced back at the always silent 'Arthur' and called Kobe to verify the identity of those on the hillside...

Kobe, busy handling the hostages crossing the border, quickly provided an answer...

"Mountain Eagle, they are from the National Guard; they were previously responsible for assisting us in transporting hostages across the river."

After listening, Mountain Eagle suspiciously observed again through Crow and said in a deep voice, "Are you sure?

The hostages have crossed the river; what are they still doing in Mexico?"

Kobe said helplessly, "How could I know? I'm already so busy I'm going crazy!

Mountain Eagle, hurry and urge the Bangkok Group's Kate and your main force Daria; I don't have time to keep an eye on these hostages.

The border patrol can't be relied upon; the nuclear material issue has been exposed by me, and now they are extremely tense, I worry..."

Mountain Eagle frowned after hearing this and said, "Daria's efficiency can't possibly be this slow; I'll urge her.

This situation should have Immigration come in; how can we possibly let the border patrol control the scene always?"

Kobe was silent for a moment and said, "Mountain Eagle, the problem is huge, and many people are anxious..."

Mountain Eagle immediately understood what Kobe was talking about...

The nuclear material issue has been exposed, and it's nuclear material with a dangerous 18% concentration threshold.

Usually, this wouldn't be much, but at this critical juncture, those with vested interests are probably like ants in a hot pan—they'll do everything to stop the investigation from deepening.

As a supervisor and investigator in the Department of Homeland Security, Kobe faces difficulty fully controlling the scene.

However, Mountain Eagle isn't focused on saving the United States; the more chaotic the situation, the more convenient for him to use power for misdirection.

Facing Kobe's anxiety, Mountain Eagle laughed and said, "Let me give you some good news. I caught 'Arthur'.

If you can loosen her tongue, you'll quickly clarify the interest chain on the border line, and possibly find clues about the dirty bomb and Death Angel.

Trust me, 'Arthur' has been sold out, she definitely won't refuse to cooperate on the border interests issue, to trade for negotiation capital."

Kobe froze for a moment and exclaimed, "Did you really succeed?

Where are you planning to cross the border? Wait for me; you must wait for me, I'll bring people right over..."

Mountain Eagle did not immediately agree to Kobe's request. He thought for a moment and said, "You also have captives there. If I were those receiving the nuclear material, I would try everything to silence them, thus cutting off your investigation clues.

'Arthur' is the same. Don't disclose the information, find a safe place, and I'll have her sent to you."

After speaking, Mountain Eagle didn't wait for Kobe's reply and focused his attention on the road ahead...

It's called a road, but it's actually just a dirt path parallel to the border river...

To ensure safety, Mountain Eagle drove into the rugged grassland when he was about 700 meters from the hidden team on the hillside.

His all-terrain vehicle handled this terrain easily, but those following him couldn't manage...

Ryan Donovan and others' stolen van broke down after driving a few hundred meters into the grass, and then this old guy began radio calling...

Seeing this situation, Mountain Eagle could only helplessly hit the brakes and abandoned the idea of crossing the river from a relatively narrow place, calling everyone out to walk, letting Galahad and Robbin carry suitcase-sized inflatable kayaks and walk towards the river.

And he himself, grabbing the 'Human-shaped Ledger' and 'Arthur' in each hand, ran towards the riverbank.

While they were advancing to the riverbank, the team hidden on the hillside suddenly moved...

Due to the distance, they didn't shoot, but descended from the other side of the hill and chased along the riverbank towards Mountain Eagle.

Mountain Eagle first sensed something wrong with those people, but Kobe's message made him hesitant...

Attacking armed personnel from the United States, the consequences can vary greatly.

Worst of all, if he mistakenly attacks, things will become very awkward.

Facing this situation, Mountain Eagle decisively chose to speed up. He had Robbin quickly unfold two kayaks, letting him and Galahad take 'Arthur', the 'Human-shaped Ledger', and the accountant's family to cross the river first.

Meanwhile, urging Daria on the opposite bank to hurry over for support...

And Ryan Donovan stayed behind with 6 'Cleaners' to help defend the kayaks' retreat.

When the two teams were about 600 meters apart, a change occurred...

Several long-range shooters from that team actually fired at the kayaks on the river...

"Bang"

"Bang"

Meanwhile, the remaining people quickened their pace, spreading out like a net towards the position where Mountain Eagle and his team were located.

The bullets hit the water near the kayak, causing those who were crossing the river to let out cries of alarm.

Mountain Eagle had no time to think further. While loudly urging Robbin and the others to speed up across the river, he used Crow to lock onto the positions of those enemies, then activated the automatic grenade launcher on the all-terrain vehicle, launching a bombardment on them...

Such a tactic is completely unfair for infantry, but Mountain Eagle couldn't care less...

"Boom boom boom boom"

A series of explosions sounded. A few remote shooters in the rear were the first to fall silent, followed by those advancing quickly who, in panic, chose to find cover on the spot, while suppressing the direction of the grenade launch.

Dense gunfire erupted. Ryan Donovan exchanged a glance with the 'Cleaners', and decisively withdrew to Mountain Eagle's side, cautiously glancing at the direction of the grenade launch, and asked, "Sir, do you have other hands?"

At the moment the confrontation with Mountain Eagle occurred, he elevated his vantage point, and the situation on both sides of the border river came into his view.

The enemies hundreds of meters away posed no threat to him, because without the obstruction of urban buildings, the automatic grenade launcher, which could be programmatically exploded as needed, was overpowering against infantry.

Even with the presence of aerial reconnaissance and intelligent tactical systems, those infantry members lacking cover had no room for survival.

In just a dozen seconds, the grenades had plowed through the positions where the enemies were...

The power of grenades is limited, but if paired with precise projection, they can be deadly to infantry.

Mountain Eagle didn't even see the faces of the opponents, and a sudden encounter had ended!

Once confirming those people were no longer a threat, Mountain Eagle gestured to Ryan Donovan and said, "There's no time, get in the water, swim across..."

Ryan was startled upon hearing this, then watched as Mountain Eagle charged towards the direction of the enemies, he gritted his teeth, removed the bullet-proof vest from his body, discarded his weapon, and dived into the water with the 'Cleaners'.

Although it wasn't the narrowest place, the water surface wasn't even a kilometer wide, and since the current was quite gentle, anyone trained could cross it without too much difficulty.

After sending Ryan and their group off, Mountain Eagle turned and ran towards the fallen gunmen...

Over twenty people couldn't hold out for even five minutes. When Mountain Eagle reached nearby, he surprisingly found there were still survivors, the power of gun grenades in the wild was somewhat insufficient.

As Mountain Eagle checked the bodies, he took photos of them one by one, finally dragging the two survivors together, propped up a phone, and injected them with morphine...

Watching as the guy whose wrist and abdomen had been blown open regained consciousness first, Mountain Eagle grabbed his collar and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you people? Who sent you?"

The severely wounded man looked at Mountain Eagle with bewildered eyes. After ten seconds, he saw the terrible open wound on his abdomen, letting out a cry of terror...

"Ah..."

As he used his intact left hand and bare right wrist to press against his abdomen, trying to shove back the intestines that were spilling out, the blood endlessly flowing from the wrist made him even more terrified...

"What happened to me, why am I like this?"

Mountain Eagle grabbed his right wrist, used a thin binding tape to tie the upper arm, then picked up a stick from the ground to tighten the binding tape...

"Who are you people? Who sent you?"

The severely wounded man's spirit was already shattered. He shouted painfully, "We're soldiers of the 19th Airborne Special Operations Battalion, Texas Detachment. I was just following orders, save me, save me..."

Upon hearing this, Mountain Eagle grabbed another guy with half his face blown off and repeated the question...

Seeing this ghoul-like guy give the same answer, Mountain Eagle cursed inwardly, immediately sensing something amiss, and decisively shot the two to end their lives.

Then, he returned to the all-terrain vehicle, retrieved this extremely useful asset, and rushed to the river to swim across.

Upon landing, Mountain Eagle saw Daria waiting for him with several people and vehicles...

Watching Daria and Peggy smiling, comforting the little girls from the accountant's family, Mountain Eagle walked over, grabbed Daria, and pulled her aside...

He first explained the situation regarding the accountant and the Human-shaped Ledger. When Daria's eyes lit up, Mountain Eagle glanced at the image projected in the tactical glasses, then grabbed Daria's arm, and said, "You, Peggy, Robbin, and Galahad, take 'Arthur' and the others and go first...

Be sure to avoid the border patrol, do not trust anyone outside the Bangkok Group and Refugee Group.

No matter how you do it, hide them away first...

If you really can't manage, find Kate from the Bangkok Group for help. The FBI shouldn't be involved in the mess happening here. Let her figure out a way to create some trouble for the border authorities..."

Daria realized something was wrong, and she nervously said, "Boss, did something happen?"

Mountain Eagle had no time for more explanation. He pushed Daria into an SUV and loudly ordered Galahad and Robbin to follow Daria's orders, then joined Ryan, along with 6 'Cleaners', a total of eight people in four vehicles, and they charged into the gravelly wilderness...

The dust kicked up by the four vehicles made them the most conspicuous target!
