Five years ago –
“Ibri border large smuggling gang confirmed to have entered from the desert no man’s land, the number of internationally wanted people is around twenty-nine, the cumulative amount of smuggled drugs is huge tons, this time the mission, only success can not fail.”
“Roger that, sir.”
After the sound of electricity, Danna Keller turned off the walkie-talkie, and looked at his partner beside him, “After the signal is given by the inner line, you stay here and wait for my second signal before you take the men in to sweep up.”
“Sister Qin, it was agreed that I would go first this time.”
Danna Keller pressed his shoulder, his expression serious, not to be denied, “Next time, this time the mission has changed, the number of internationally wanted people rose from the initial nine to twenty-nine, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also watching, so this time there can not be a little accident, next time must let you go first.”
The partner’s young face does not hide his disappointment, “sister Qin, I have been partnering with you for more than two years, and every time you say next time, and if it goes on like this, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get on until I’m discharged.”
“Retired from the military?” Danna Keller suddenly laughed, “It’s early, you’re only how old, you have plenty of opportunities to build a career, I’m the one who’s about to be discharged.”
“If I get out of the military, I’ll become a basketball coach, I love playing basketball, I used to be a basketball player.”
“I want to switch civilian jobs, I’m used to being in the army.”
In the lush vegetation of the rainforest, the undercover officers in camouflage combat uniforms almost blended in with the vegetation, with only rustling sounds passing between the walkie-talkies.
“Sister Qin, if you get discharged, what are you going to do after you get discharged?”
“Me?” Danna Keller froze at the question.
She is thirty-five years old, and after every undercover mission, she has to go back to Hounslow headquarters for a physical fitness test. If she hadn’t been able to reach an almost perfect peak on her annual physical fitness test, she would have been discharged from the army at her age.
But no matter how perfect her physical abilities are, at best, she should have been forced out of the military by the age of 40.
In other words, she has only five years left to experience the gunfire on this battlefield.
Unlike other soldiers who want to build a career, she doesn’t have much attachment to the merit on her body, and the reason why she obeyed the arrangement to be an undercover agent is only because her officer told her she was suitable for it. It’s not easy for people to live in the world to have something suitable for them to do, and she doesn’t know what she can do besides being a soldier.
Before returning to the undercover team this time, she had a chat with Lucy Chambers.
Lucy Chambers was her captain’s wife when she was in Blue Eagle, and her closest sister, and the one person in the world who really cared for her as if she were her own sister, except for Qinna, her own sister.
When it comes to the process of getting to know her back then, it was actually quite deliberate.
Initially Blue Eagle disbanded, she was arranged by the captain to the prison as an undercover, by the way, photo Chambers at the time or another identity of Lucy Chambers, later think about her photo Chambers is not too good, that time Lucy Chambers in prison suffered a lot, but she can not help too much in order not to reveal their identity.
But then after her release, Lucy Chambers remembered her kindness and gave her a job, allowing her to integrate into the outside world for the first time as an ordinary person, and even opened a public Olson that is now publicly traded.
Speaking of the public Olson called IM, who would believe that its early founder is now working undercover in Ebury, far away from the mountains and the seas?
“Sister Qin, is that a signal?”
Her partner’s voice pulled her back to her thoughts.
In the sniper scope, deep in the rainforest cottage with curling white smoke, Danna Keller immediately aimed the sniper rifle at the other side watch tower, his expression immediately tightened up, “It’s a signal, the periphery is safe from enemy guards, a team is ready to raid.”
In the rainforest, a small group of special forces cloaked in combat uniforms approached toward the tower fortress.
Before they could get close, several guards on the watchtower were all silently taken care of by Danna Keller’s sniper rifle, quickly replaced by the Special Forces men.
“Twelve o’clock is occupied, confirmed safe.” On the highest watchtower, the special forces waved their hands and quickly covered a team of special forces under the tower to infiltrate the tower fortress.
The rainforest is very quiet, and the tower cottage is even quieter, almost eerie, as if a storm is coming before the pavement, so that people are suffocating.
Soon, a loud “bang”, the sound of blasting exploded in the command of the tower fortress, followed by the sound of machine gun bursts almost deafening, a rain of gunfire sweeping the entire rainforest.
“Captain Captain, there are hostages in the tower fortress.”
Danna Keller’s eyebrows tightened and after taking out an enemy guard who tried to shoot at their men under sniper fire, she said in a deep voice, “Cover the hostages and put their safety first.”
“Yes.”
The gunfire continued for a full half hour and gradually subsided.
“Captain, the hostages are safe, the other side is now forced to a dead end, the number of people is about twelve up and down, less than fifteen, you can let the second team down to close.”
“Well, take a hostage count.”
“Yes.”
Danna Keller remained motionless on the high ground staring into the sniper scope, “Keiko, take the second team down for a sweep, be safe and don’t take it lightly.”
“What about you, sister Qin?”
“You go first, I’ll follow.”
“Yes.”
Usually when sweeping, Danna Keller would follow along, but this time she did not.
Ding Qiang did not think much about it, led the people first down to the tower fortress.
In the intercom, Ding Qiang’s voice was loose, “Captain, you can come down, confirm the safety, hostages a total of twelve, are forced to make drug workers’ families, seven women, two children, and three men.”
Danna Keller did not respond.
Ding Qiang hung up the walkie-talkie, looked back, other special forces were busy cleaning up the scene, to confirm that no fish were missed, and the few internationally wanted drug traffickers were tied up and thrown in the courtyard.
Inside these twelve hostages, mostly women, a few of them obviously Asian-looking, all still very good-looking and not too old.
Ding Qiang asked, “Where are you all from? Those people outside, are there any of your family members?”
Several women, their eyes red, shook their heads.
The drug traffickers which have to talk about human kindness, those who are used to do the hard work of the people’s labor value squeezed out, they are too cumbersome, long ago all killed, as for the women, beautiful to stay, not good-looking also a piece of the kill, and these children did not kill, it is estimated that the women ‘credit’.
Ding Qiang sighed silently in his heart, “It’s okay, when you are sent back to your country, everything will be fine, it can all start again.”
Following Danna Keller undercover these years, the most difficult is not actually the days of undercover, but the moment of the final siege, whether successful or not, eventually have to count the number of people sacrificed in this undercover operation, are bloody numbers.
Wealth, power, and war are the eternal themes of this world.
“What about you guys?” Ding Qiang’s gaze suddenly fell on the three men in the corner.
The women were left behind because they were beautiful, so what’s up with the three men?
