Chapter Forty-two Astonishing News

  Fortunately, after a practice, the subsequent training was much more familiar to everyone. After two weeks of familiarity and Wolf's explanation, the crowd basically grasped this brand new combat method with an accuracy of about 80-90%.

  That night, everyone was full of confidence and took their own equipment to Chiang Mai, Thailand.

  Chiang Mai, located in a valley 305 meters above sea level north of Bangkok, is known as the "Rose of the North" and is a popular tourist destination in Southeast Asia. But today, a strange group of tourists arrived. A group of half-grown children each carried an exquisite small suitcase, and two boys wore guitar cases on their backs, but there was no artistic aura about them, a faint sense of intimidation surrounded these people, forming a strange vacuum zone in the crowded crowd.

  "Hey, Captain, can I change into something else? This thing is totally not wearable."

  Several people burst out laughing at the words, and it was also embarrassing for Jiyuan and Yezi. The expensive Western-style suit that fit perfectly on their bodies was even more uncomfortable than a 50-kilogram heavy backpack.

  The wolf suppressed his smile and patted the back of the chicken's waist, "Bear with it, just bear it for another week." After finishing speaking, the wolf couldn't hold in his laughter anymore.

  Speaking in stiff Thai, the group of people including Can Lang and the taxi driver made it clear where they wanted to go. The Kad Tha Market is only open from Friday night to Sunday midnight, but the driver didn't bother to remind them that it was still Tuesday, especially after seeing Can Lang casually hand over 1000 Thai baht. He took them directly to their destination instead.

  Here is the translation:

  Arriving at the Kaduqa Weekend Market, everyone couldn't help but admire this guy's nickname "Ma Dao" for choosing a location. The Kaduqa Weekend Market has many shops, similar to a domestic small commodity wholesale market. However, Ma Dao only stays here on Fridays and Saturdays, and on Saturday night he will meet with the drug dealer. After that, he will stay with the drug dealer all the time. This means that Ran Lang and others only have one day to capture him. If they miss this opportunity or let him escape during the operation, everyone can only return empty-handed.

  Everyone casually found an inn, and for the next few days, several people strolled through the Kadoukawi weekend market. In the early hours of Friday morning, a message arrived, "Boss, Ma Dao has arrived, I'll give you the coordinates of his satellite phone, it should be in a hotel."

  The wolf hung up without saying anything, and soon, with the vibration of the phone, Ma Dao's coordinates were sent over.

  "Action!" The remaining wolves remembered the coordinates and acted on a single order. Several people took action, Knife buried himself in an office building opposite the hotel, Pliers wandered to the transformer near the back of the hotel, and AK brothers drove two taxis and stopped not far from the hotel entrance.

  Seeing that everyone was ready, the Lone Wolf made a final check of the equipment in his hand and the remaining four team members entered the four rooms on the same floor as Ma Dao.

  The residual wolf casually swept a glance at the surveillance probes in the corridor, remembered their positions, and walked into his own room. As soon as he entered the room, the residual wolf pressed the button on the box, and the G36C was instantly lifted in his hand. After carefully searching to confirm that there were no dangers in the room, the residual wolf moved a chair to sit behind the door and observed the room diagonally opposite through the peephole.

  "Knife, target confirmed, two dogs, about to go downstairs, AK get ready." At 4 pm, the door of the house opposite finally opened and a bald head with four bodyguards walked out. The residual wolf quickly informed the knife that had been lying outside for an afternoon and the AK brother who was disguised as a taxi driver.

  "Received," three people replied in unison, stretched their waist and walked back to the bedroom. The remaining time was left to the wild boar to monitor, and he could finally take a break.

  Outside the hotel, Ma Dao had just walked out of the door when he was suddenly grabbed from behind and a knife was held to his head. Oblivious to what was happening, Ma Dao hailed a taxi with a wave of his hand and squeezed in. As soon as the car started moving, AK and the others quickly got into their cars and sandwiched him in between them. The whole team worked together seamlessly, easily keeping tabs on the target's every move.

  At 9 o'clock in the evening, Ma Dao, who had been out all day, finally returned to the hotel. As he watched three people enter the room, five others hiding behind the door exchanged sly smiles.

  3:00 AM, the entire hotel fell into silence. In the pitch-black room, Wolf quietly pressed his earpiece, "Operation starts, Pliers cut off electricity, Sniper be aware, Assault team be careful. Operation!"

  As soon as the wolf's voice fell, the corridor instantly plunged into darkness. The lone wolf carefully opened the door and took a look at the direction of the surveillance probe, confirming that it had stopped working before tapping his earpiece. Upon hearing the signal, others quickly emerged from their respective rooms.

  The wolf pointed at the monkey, who nodded and carefully inserted a thin steel wire into the keyhole. With a soft "click", the door was expertly opened. The monkey crouched down and slowly pushed open the door, while Hua Tuo held up a thermal imaging device to check if there were any people in the living room. Seeing no one, he quickly gave a thumbs-up to those behind him. Jiyan, Wild Boar, and Can Lang swiftly entered the room with their G36C guns at the ready.

  In the night vision goggles, the lone wolf made a gesture to the other two rooms, and the chicken-eyed duo nodded and walked towards one room each. After a brief pause, the three of them simultaneously kicked open the doors!

  With a loud thud, the Wolf swiftly dashed into the bedroom. The man on the bed was startled awake by the kick of the door and had just pulled out the pistol from under his pillow but hadn't had time to aim when the Wolf shot it out of his hand with a single burst.

  With the night vision device, Can Lang saw that the opponent was one of the two bodyguards. No wonder he didn't make a sound even when his palm was shot through. Ignoring the opponent's fierce gaze, Can Lang continued to pull the trigger and gave his other hand another shot before tapping on the earpiece.

  Hua Tuo, who was guarding the door, received the signal and rushed in to tie up the bodyguard on the bed before bandaging his wound.

  At this time, the battles in the other two bedrooms also ended. Wild boar was lucky enough to enter Ma Dao's room and subdued his opponent without much effort. Jīyǎn took advantage of his physical superiority and didn't even fire a shot, directly knocking out another target with one punch.

  "Pliers, restore lighting" After confirming safety, the wolf gave the order. The lights in the corridor flashed a few times and lit up again, and the monkey also turned on the chandelier in the living room.

  Patted the sofa where Ma Dao was tied up with five flowers, and unexpectedly this guy still had a habit of sleeping naked.

  "The appetite is not small, two tons of poison are enough to launch an opium war in the country." The wolf's eyes gradually became sharp and fierce, and the words that came out made Ma Dao's face, which was already terrified, turn pale.

  "Who hired you? I'll give you double the pay. Let me go, how about that?" He swallowed hard and said with a trembling voice.

  "I'm not interested in your money." As he spoke, the Lone Wolf used his military knife to pry open a suitcase that the monkey had just searched out, shamelessly counting out dozens of US dollars inside.

  "If you don't want to die," the words of the lone wolf were like a stimulant injected into Ma Dao's neck, instantly making his defeated pupils shine brightly.

  "If you don't want to die, have my brother be your bodyguard for tomorrow's deal. Two tons of drugs is not a small amount, I suppose the person trading with you won't be some small fry, right? You just need to bring us to the transaction location, and their lives can be exchanged for yours. You have two minutes to consider."

  "No need to consider it! I'm willing!" As soon as the Wolf's voice fell, Ma Dao on the sofa hurriedly nodded in agreement. What nonsense, the other party wasn't his father, and he didn't have to sacrifice himself for them.

  Zanlang made a gesture to Hua Tuo beside him, and Hua Tuo quickly rummaged through his backpack and tied a black gold-plated bullet to the ankle of his horse knife.

  "This is a black market bomb, and it will explode if you try to disarm it. Its power is equivalent to that of a rocket shell, which should be enough to turn you into minced meat. I also have a detonator in my hand. So, I hope you'll behave."

  Zanlang had just mentioned the Hei Suo Jin bomb, when the two bodyguards beside Ma Dao immediately became tense and tried to move away from him. Zanlang looked at the two bodyguards with some surprise.

  "Soldier? Which military district?" The words of the lame wolf made the two blush. After a moment of silence, the man with injured hands finally spoke out in a low voice, "The 38th Division."

  "What kind of troops are you? How did you end up like this?" The remnant wolf was somewhat surprised, how could the so-called "Iron Flood Ten Thousand Years Division" 38th Army produce such dregs?

  "No way, in the army without connections or money, it's impossible to get promoted. After being a captain for five years, my family was so poor that we couldn't even afford to cook meals, so I had to switch industries. This boss said he came to Thailand for tourism, but my brother and I really didn't know about the drug trafficking." Another bodyguard said, his eyes turning red, when did our army become like this?

  Others looked as if they were listening to "One Thousand and One Nights", it was their first time hearing about such a thing even though they had been abroad.

  "The PLA isn't supposed to be the strongest army in the world, and promotion isn't based on military merit?" asked Jianyan, who couldn't help but speak his mind.

  The wounded bodyguard smiled self-deprecatingly, "Since the Southern Xinjiang Defense War, China hasn't fought any wars. Small-scale armed conflicts don't need us at all. Meritorious service? Unless we fight Taiwan or Japan, there's no chance. In the army, without connections, it takes at least 100,000 to 200,000 yuan to get promoted from officer to junior lieutenant."

  The bodyguard's words left everyone in stunned silence, it was the first time they had heard such inside information. The Lone Wolf couldn't help but feel a little disheartened, as if the idol he had always admired had suddenly collapsed.

  The remaining two bodyguards were too lazy to bother with, so they called Knife through the communicator and had him take them to another hotel to be watched. They would deal with them after the mission was over.

  It was already 4 am, so the remaining wolves arranged their night watch shifts and found a spot with good visibility to lean against the wall and catch up on sleep.
