Dambon, Naboo Town.
After receiving the report from the temporary headquarters, Senlong thought for a while and came to the same conclusion.
"One big and one small. They have limited mobility and will not be able to escape very far."
"Assemble all patrol members and conduct a large-scale search around the hillside."
"Remember, no shots are allowed during the arrest, whether it is a woman or a child."
"Notify all checkpoints and closely check all similar personnel."
The staff on duty wrote down the tasks and arranged them immediately.
After Senlong gave the order, he had a flash of inspiration and immediately thought of a new idea.
…
On the North Shore, abnormal situations will be reported simultaneously.
"These guys, I warned them long ago to pay attention to underground undercurrents and closely monitor all suspicious signs, but they just didn't listen."
"Forget it, there's no point in complaining."
"The trouble is on the opposite side. We can't solve the problem in haste. Now we can only rely on their efforts. I hope there will be a result."
"People can't pass, so we have to do this."
"The call coming from the other side may involve international mercenaries. According to the current situation, these parties are well prepared and their intentions are directed at the children."
"The family members who reported the crime behaved abnormally and are suspicious. We need to investigate the details carefully."
"There was a vehicle chase on the Western Plateau, and some road protection workers also heard gunshots. I don't know if it is related to here."
"Extract the surveillance images and compare them with the people leaving customs here, trying to find more clues to help the other side."
"A total of seven deceased persons on both sides have been partially identified. This transnational case is not simple."
"The grievances between foreigners make it really troublesome for us to work hard here."
"People die for money, and birds die for food. These people are so annoying."
…
Several people in charge were talking to each other and conducting analysis and research.
…
November 9, 2 a.m.
Melaine had already diverted and drove northwest for 4 hours.
There are no new expressways built, all are old border roads.
Due to the rugged and winding mountain roads, the temperature continued to drop, and the ground began to freeze. In order to maintain relative stability, the vehicle speed was relatively slow, with an average speed of less than 40 kilometers per hour.
Halfway through, I added oil and took a break.
November 9, around 6 a.m.
At this time, after 9 hours of long-distance driving, Meilan gradually approached the Wenjiang area.
Here, affected by the monsoon climate, it is the rainy season. The river water surges and the valley is deep and rapid. It is a typical mountain river.
The destination of Mei Lan's trip was an abandoned cave upstream of a medium-sized power station in the area.
Decades ago, the situation was turbulent. The illegal armed forces were eliminated and then closed for many years.
With economic development in recent years, dams have been built to generate electricity.
Due to rising water levels, one-third of the entrance to the cave was flooded, and most areas inside the cave were flooded. It had to be abandoned, and even the entrance to the mountain was sealed.
When Melanin drove to the intersection, it was less than 7 o'clock.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, the weather is wet and cold, and there are few cars or people on the road.
This road leads to the dam, and on the right is the mountain road, but it is blocked by a wooden fence and warning signs are posted.
Without saying a word, Melanin took out the tool from the hood of the car, forcibly pried out one end of the fence, drove through, then pushed it back into place and fixed it again.
After covering up for a while, looking around for no one, I quickly drove into the mountain. .
The ground is covered with thick leaves and it is still raining. It won’t take long for the traces to be eliminated by the rain.
At this time, the sky was just getting dark, the gloomy sky, the bead-like rain curtain, and the damp and cold weather all made people feel irritated and depressed.
After Melanin entered the mountain for a while, he passed a transport truck at the intersection.
The driver yawned repeatedly and didn't notice the strange marks on the roadside. He rushed over without even looking back.
The road was rough and Melanin drove carefully.
The gravel ground was covered with dead leaves, and the roadbed could not be seen clearly, and it was a bit bumpy.
On the way, there were two large landslides.
It took three hours and a lot of effort to clear the way, and Mei Lanyin was very tired.
Fortunately, the road was not too far. After turning more than a dozen turns, we reached the foot of a mountain peak.
50 meters downhill ahead, we finally saw the entrance of the cave that was filled with water.
Melanin parked the car as far forward as possible against the stone wall, fixing the tires to prevent them from slipping.
This is more than ten kilometers downstream. There is a reservoir at the bottom of the hillside, and the water level is still rising slowly.
Mei Lanyin checked that the emergency cabin was in normal condition and his son's vital signs were stable.
The battery was about to run out and was close to the alarm value, so three batteries were replaced immediately.
After the previous strenuous exercise, I was already hungry and swallowed a precious Qi and Blood Pill.
I rested for half an hour until I felt energetic enough to start working.
The first priority was the emergency cabin. Mei Lanyin carefully carried it and entered the cave through the river water more than one meter deep.
After turning a few corners, we reached a stone platform. We climbed up a stone ladder and reached the mixed earth-rock layer at the top of the rock.
In front of a dilapidated wooden door, the mental sensing magnetic field was spread across the entire range. After careful detection and identification, no powerful biological aura was found.
When I opened the door, several mountain rats, snakes and insects scurried around in panic. The smell inside was not very good.
He closed the door and continued walking forward. He checked several cave rooms in succession, but none of them were satisfactory.
Finally, I came to a stone room sealed with an alloy door. I pulled out the rusty iron lock and pushed it open. There were no snakes or insects inside.
There were several rows of wooden racks with a few broken rifles hanging on them, and wooden boxes piled up against the wall.
Melaine selected this stone room as a temporary settlement.
Move the wooden frames and most of the wooden boxes in the stone room to other places.
Finally, place the emergency cabin on the wooden box, make sure it is stable, and then turn around to get a batch of supplies...
Outside the mountain road, at the intersection, the rain has stopped long ago.
The grass on the roadside that was flattened by the wheels has basically recovered.
Without careful observation, it is difficult to find clues.
While Melanin was busy, the atmosphere in Naboo Town was still tense.
Senlong commanded personnel and launched operations overnight.
The entire manhunt has been drawn back and forth from Naboo Town to the downstream outpost, and it is finally over.
As a result, dozens of illegals were captured, with no trace of the target.
Senlong was not discouraged. From the feedback information, he found that several foreign tourists had participated.
These people are probably mercenaries. They should know the origin of the child and can open a breakthrough.
After he ordered the searchers to take a rest, he began to lay out another plan to lure the snake out of the hole.
…
November 9, morning.
In Naboo Town, the entire patrol battalion was dispatched to register and search street by house.
Residents, businesses and tourists cannot walk around casually, and do not dare to express their anger. They can only wait for the matter to end.
While maintaining communication with the opponent, Senlong was busy deploying his own actions.
November 9, 9pm.
All patrol members in the town withdrew and hurried towards the dense forest to the north, deliberately making any noise to detect traces of the target.
In fact, he turned around in a circle and ran to the outskirts of the town to squat.
At a tourist hotel in Naboo Town, eight people who were tracking A Tao were paying close attention to the progress of the situation.
Discover personnel transfers, observe the dynamics of words and deeds, and immediately make guesses.
These people put on local clothes and were ready to take action at any time.
November 10, 1 a.m.
The plan to lure the snake out of its hole was officially implemented.
To the north of Naboo Town, over the mountains and forests, an old helicopter flew in from a distance. Amidst the roar, the sound of a horn sounded, creating the impression that the target had been discovered.
…
At the same time, in the distance outside the mountain forest, there were three moving figures, and the bright light of the lighting flashlight was faintly visible.
For this operation, Senlong made careful arrangements in advance and even deployed helicopters.
The movement is not small but the speed is slow, which also leaves a gap for potential targets.
A few minutes later, eight mercenaries at the Naboo Town Tourist Hotel received a call from the internal line.
Several people analyzed it for a while and decided to act.
The leader waved his hand and said: "Execute the second plan, everyone, be careful. We will split up in 5 minutes and contact the person immediately when we find him."
"OK!"
The remaining people licked their lips and left the room with fierce eyes.
After the group left, the occasional people who had not returned walked through the street and kept walking faster.
Lights kept turning on in the streets of the town, waking up sleeping people.
Some people stuck their heads out to observe the situation outside the window, and nearby acquaintances asked each other about the situation.
A few brave people walked out of their homes and wanted to go outside the town to understand the real situation.
In the mountain forest, the helicopter is still tracking, and it seems that the situation is heading south, and the horn sounds from time to time.
The town is loose, but the outer perimeter is tight.
Such commotion and momentum made some criminals restless, worried that they were involved, and sneaked out of the town from around the corner. As a result, they were all arrested on the way and held in place for interrogation.
At this moment, 8 mercenaries, each with a long backpack, were divided into 4 groups and fled Naboo Town from different exits.
One group turned into the dense forest in the direction of the helicopter.
