Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger-Chapter 987 - 921: Secret Base

"Like a fish in water"!

Mountain Eagle, who had disappeared into the darkness, moved like a fish gliding through water, and the "wind blowing and grass swaying" of the hilly terrain became his cover.

Mountain Eagle pushed the night operation skills honed over more than twenty years in the Sergeant System to the extreme, maintaining a rhythmic and unique pace that blended the sounds he made into the various background noises.

The enemy couldn't even hear him; even if they were a few meters away, they might not notice Mountain Eagle passing right in front of them.

Crow marked the enemy sentry positions for Mountain Eagle, allowing him to easily avoid any potentially exposed routes as he circled several kilometers around to quickly approach the suspicious hill Camel had mentioned.

The barren stone mountain offered little concealment, with only a few resilient shrubs rooted on the hilltop. However, with it being winter, there wasn't a hint of green, except for some pine trees at the foot of the mountain.

Mountain Eagle circled around half of the hill without finding any signs of human activity. He then climbed up the back of the hill to the midsection and curled himself into a crevice, activating Golden Cicada to its fullest.

The ultrasonic waves emitted by Golden Cicada infiltrated the mountain; the deeper it probed, the less effective the exploration became...

But fortunately, the mountain wasn't particularly large, so soon a general outline appeared before Mountain Eagle's eyes.

Just as Camel said, hidden within the mountain was a secret base!

Mountain Eagle couldn't determine the details inside the base, but with Golden Cicada's help, he quickly sketched out a rough layout of the internal base.

This was a base constructed within the internal spaces of the mountain, covering approximately 3000 square meters.

The base was divided into two levels: the upper level was a personnel activity area, the lower level seemed to be a storage area, and there was an underground passage leading to the outside world.

Mountain Eagle couldn't discern what was stored inside, but through the blurry images provided by Golden Cicada, he saw people moving inside, with a section in the upper area holding over a hundred individuals.

Additionally, Golden Cicada discovered a concealed entrance on the mountain and several hidden air intakes that maintained air circulation.

However, these air intakes were clearly not well-maintained, with many already blocked.

After carefully recording the internal structure and staff activities of the base, Mountain Eagle quietly moved to the bottom of the mountain, where he found a very concealed cave only 1.5 meters high and about 60 centimeters wide.

After confirming that no one was guarding it, Mountain Eagle slowly entered, advancing over thirty meters along the rugged cave to arrive at a heavy iron door.

The iron door could only be opened from the inside. After confirming that no one was on the other side, Mountain Eagle took out a flashlight to illuminate the area outside the door...

The dark, damp cave was covered in moss, and various traces indicated that no one had come through here for a long time.

Using Golden Cicada, it was visible that on the other side of the iron door was a narrow passageway leading into a room in the lower storage of the mountain base.

Ensuring no one could detect him, Mountain Eagle shone his flashlight on the iron door, finding the solid half-foot-thick door rusted shut, with iron rust completely blocking the door seams.

This door wasn't designed to be opened from the outside; only by pulling back four heavy iron bolts from the inside could it be opened.

From the looks of it, the Kosovo Liberation Organization hadn't used this passage in a long time.

The only way Mountain Eagle could open this door was by using an explosive to blast the concrete frame surrounding the door that attached it to the mountain, then removing the entire door.

This dashed Mountain Eagle's hope of sneaking in to scout ahead...

However, Mountain Eagle wasn't disappointed. After carefully inspecting the mountain structure around the door, he quickly found a suitable spot and shaped some plastic explosives against it, inserting a detonator before retreating from the cave.

Once he withdrew, Mountain Eagle lingered around the hilly area near the mountain, understanding the terrain before quickly leaving the area, and it took him nearly three hours to regroup with Mi Lu and the others...

They chose a location at the junction of the only road leading to the 'Farm'...

'White Whale' has no choice but to pass through here when heading to the 'Farm'!

By the time Mountain Eagle arrived, dawn was breaking...

He slid into a dried-up ditch under cover, finding Mi Lu and others wrapped in camouflage fabric...

"There's a secret base in the southern hills of the farm. Those women kidnapped by the Kosovo Liberation Organization should be held there, and I've found a concealed entrance.

Once the operation starts, according to our plan, Du Shang's group will lure the Kosovo Liberation Organization northwards, where Blood Fox will intercept and eliminate the pursuing enemies.

Meanwhile, we will flank around the back of the hill base with 'White Whale' and lay low. Once the assault team brought by Razer arrives, we will attack the farm and hill base together."

The sides of the road lacked cover, and the Kosovo Liberation Organization had set up a checkpoint at the crossroads, with a dozen people patrolling around the checkpoint in batches.

Thus, Mi Lu and the others could only huddle in this dried-up ditch, 700 meters away from the road, camouflaged with bushes ahead and behind.

Upon hearing Mountain Eagle's plan, Mi Lu tugged at the camouflage fabric, leaned against the trench wall, and nodded, saying, "This plan is risky...

But if we can quickly eliminate those around 'White Whale', with Du Shang drawing attention inside the farm, we might succeed.

The only issue is whether 'White Whale' will cooperate, as I don't want to be dragging a 300-pound guy around."

Recalling the route he had taken, Mountain Eagle chuckled, saying, "No problem. On the way to the hills, there are several secluded caves. We can have someone hide 'White Whale' inside, then come back for them once our mission is complete.

The farm only has around two hundred people; as long as I can fully mobilize them, letting Blood Fox take out a portion of the main force, the rest will become simple."

Mi Lu looked at the somewhat 'overly optimistic' Mountain Eagle, hesitated for a moment, then seriously nodded, saying, "As long as Razer and Odin don't mess up, anything is possible!

However, there's one thing you can't overlook: if the Kosovo Liberation Organization reacts, they'll rapidly support the farm.

We have highly mobile suicide drones to delay their actions, but if there are too many hostages in the base, relocating them will take a long time..."

Mi Lu glanced at Mountain Eagle, who had an unusual expression, thought for a moment, and said, "You sure have your own plan, whatever it is, I won't ask, as long as you're aware..."

Mountain Eagle certainly had his own plan. Given his limited personnel, it was impossible to organize the evacuation of hundreds of hostages.

Thus, he planned to leverage the influence of several international anti-human trafficking organizations to mobilize the Kosovo NATO Peacekeeping Force...

This would be his first collaboration with Jim Clark. If that guy couldn't deliver on his promises, even if he sponsored ten million annually in the future, Mountain Eagle wouldn't cooperate with him.

But if that guy demonstrated enough power, Mountain Eagle wouldn't mind deepening their cooperation.

After all, fighting human trafficking involves more people and organizations; the safer and more successful the action becomes.

Mountain Eagle didn't have time to explain his thoughts to Mi Lu and the others in detail; he only needed them to trust him.

If this action succeeded, Arctic Fox would be free from the mercenary framework, emerging with a new image.

This was important!

Just as Mountain Eagle was wrapped in camouflage fabric, leaning against the ditch wall, communicating with all sides through radio and telephone...

A message came through the radio from Robbin in Pristina...

"The cargo is on the move, a black Mercedes sedan, license plate number ****...

This guy is cunning; he prepared a body double of similar build for himself, initially having his bodyguards escort the double to the airport, while he himself left separately under the protection of Samuer International Security personnel.

I almost got tricked!"

Upon hearing this, Mountain Eagle decisively said, "Robbin, just in case, go to the airport to keep an eye on the 'White Whale' double..."

Saying this, Mountain Eagle activated the radio, saying, "Everyone, be advised, the 'cargo' is on the road!

Prepare, everyone..."
