They successfully arrived at the river and the team began to move along the river. The situation was just as Abu said. Although there were still a few places that needed to be bypassed, it was much faster than moving through the forest.
It was Qu Sen's first time seeing a wild crocodile outside of the park. It was not big, only a meter long. From afar, it looked like a piece of rotten wood lying on a rock without making a sound.
"Don't worry about it. The weather is cold now. Unless the crocodile is starving, it won't attack people." Abu told them when they passed by the crocodile.
Everyone was exhausted and didn't have the energy to go against a crocodile. When they heard Abu's words, they relaxed and continued moving forward.
When it was close to five o 'clock, the team finally bypassed the last section of the turbulent river. Three special force members immediately took out inflatable rafts from their backpacks and began to inflate them. The others split up and went into the forest by the river. They cut down trees of suitable thickness for backup.
Because they were going downstream, they didn't need much external support. Therefore, each raft was only equipped with two folding paddles. But Abu said that there were a few continuous bends in the river. They needed to use wooden poles to control the direction in order to successfully pass through.
At six o 'clock, the "kidnapping" operation in the village would begin. The reinforcement team was still ten kilometers away from the designated location. Not only did they have to arrive, but they also had to eliminate the guards at the small dock and seize the boat. Therefore, time was tight.
After the twelve of them set off on three inflatable rafts, the "Qin Crossbow" quickly took off. It would take on the role of the vanguard and lead the team forward to scout the situation in front of the river.
The camouflaged "Qin Crossbow" quickly moved along the treetops along the river bank. The sound of the river flowing could cover its working sound to a large extent. This gave the "Qin Crossbow", the vanguard, a strong "stealth" ability.
When they were on the helicopter, An Jingzhe arranged the four people on each raft and everyone's position based on everyone's weight. Through this method, they tried to ensure balance.
Traveling with the current on a raft was not as effortless as he had imagined. Because if they relaxed even a little bit, the raft would spin or even flip over.
In the area where the river was relatively straight and gentle, Qu Sen mainly focused on controlling the drone. When the water flow was rapid or when there was a large bend, the Qin crossbow would have to hover to help maintain balance and pass the bend.
Many parts of the waterway had been artificially cleaned. The waterway was rather deep, and there were no large rocks in the water that would hinder their progress. Traces of explosives could even be seen in the bends and areas with rapid water flow.
It was obvious that the drug manufacturing group in the village ahead had put in a lot of effort to clear the river for the convenience of shipping.
"Can't these bastards fix the river channel as well? We wasted so much effort, "Hong Nan, who was paddling on the raft behind them, grumbled.
Abu, who was holding a piece of wood and controlling the direction of their journey, explained.
"Even if they could, they wouldn't. Otherwise, it would be easy for outsiders to come in and out. Even though they had to travel by land and ship every time they went in and out, their efficiency wasn't low, and their concealment was high.
If there really is a large army attacking us, by the time we reach the place, they would have already received the news and fled. "
"Damn it, they really put in a lot of effort." Wu Tu sighed.
"If you want to survive in this world, making money is secondary. Figuring out how to stay alive is the most important thing.
Those who only want to get rich don't even need outsiders to do anything. They would have been torn apart and digested by the tigers and wolves around them. "Abu also sighed, but his tone was much heavier.
In fact, everyone was very curious about Abu's experience, but because of discipline, no one asked. They could only speculate in their hearts that his previous life must have been very legendary.
When the hands of the watch were about to point to six, the sky was completely dark. The river became relatively wide, and the water flow also calmed down.
When they were close to the predetermined location, Qu Sen turned on the thermal lens of the Qin crossbow and put all his energy into the monitoring screen.
The situation was better than expected. The drug manufacturing group didn't place any spies on both sides of the river, and the small dock successfully appeared in the range of the Qin crossbow.
"Captain, we found the small dock. It's about two kilometers away from our current location. For now, we only found two cargo ships and two small wooden boats. The wooden boats have a power system.
There are four thermal reflection signals, and one of them should be a dog. "Qu Sen reported to An Jingzhe who was rowing in front of him.
"Everyone, get ready to go ashore!" An Jingzhe decisively issued an order.
Ten minutes later, the reinforcement team finished gathering in the forest about one kilometer away from the small dock. An Jingzhe used the Qin crossbow's investigation to arrange the attack strategy as quickly as possible.
Immediately, the twelve people divided into five groups and began to move.

"Boss, your information is very accurate. We have confirmed the target." In the dense forest on the opposite side of the river where the reinforcement team landed, a bearded foreigner wearing jungle camouflage reported through the satellite phone.
"Are you 100% sure?" Wu Sheng-hsiung put down the teacup in his hand and asked in a deep voice.
"I'm 100% sure, but your judgment is final. Please check your email." The foreigner gestured to the assistant next to him as he spoke.
The assistant quickly connected the military laptop wirelessly to the internet and sent a compressed file via email. Inside was a photo taken with a night vision telephoto lens.
In the tea room, Wu Sheng-hsiung didn't say a word. Ah Sheng, who was standing by the side, gestured with his eyes to the woman who was serving tea.
The woman nodded slightly, got up, and walked to the short table by the wall. She woke up the laptop that was in hibernation mode, opened Outlook, and refreshed it twice. The system notified her of a new email.
She clicked on the email and downloaded the attached zip file. Then, she unzipped it.
Soon, a night vision photo with a green fluorescent background was opened. The photo was of a few people sitting on a raft. The face marked with a red circle was Qu Sen, who was about to get off the raft and go ashore.
Although it was only a side profile, it was enough. Ah Sheng glanced at the image on the monitor and nodded at Wu Sheng-hsiung.
"It's him!" Wu Sheng-hsiung's voice didn't fluctuate at all, but the hand holding the satellite phone had already turned white.
"Do you want to kill him now?" The foreigner held the satellite phone to his ear with his left hand and a gun in his right. He looked very relaxed when he spoke.
This was because Qu Sen's head was caught in the crosshairs of his sniper rifle's night vision scope.
Wu Sheng-hsiung closed his eyes and tried hard to suppress his murderous intent as he rationally ordered, "No need. When they start fighting later, take advantage of the chaos and find an opportunity. I don't want anyone to notice anything after the fact."
"You're the one paying. Whatever you say," the foreigner said with a smile and hung up the phone. Then, he gestured to the assistant beside him. "Let's go to the second spot to watch the show."
"Okay." The assistant packed up his things in a relaxed manner and followed behind the foreigner. He bent over and moved to the second sniper spot.
Wu Sheng-hsiung put down the phone, opened his eyes, and gestured to the woman beside the computer. "Transfer the balance to Bo Ang."
The woman nodded and skillfully opened the bank transfer interface. She logged in and entered the account number. Then, she entered a "5" and four "0s" in the amount column.
Wu Sheng-hsiung paid a total of 100,000 US dollars for the information at hand, including the 50,000 US dollars he paid the other party before.
But in his opinion, it was very worthwhile. After all, as long as he could avenge his son, one more "0" was nothing.
The person who received the money was an officer of the Burmese Border Administration. He was an old acquaintance of Wu Sheng-hsiung.
In recent years, the neighboring countries had been cracking down on drug production and trafficking groups in the Golden Triangle more and more severely.
Powerful dealers like Wu Sheng-hsiung were all trying their best to expand their network in order to be able to react in advance before danger came knocking on their door.
The Burmese officer named Bo Ang was an extremely important point in Wu Sheng-hsiung's network.
Every time there was a joint operation between the three neighboring countries, especially between Burma and Laos, he would always be the first to receive the news. Then, he would use the information to exchange for money with Wu Sheng-hsiung.
Bo Ang was aware of the entire rescue operation on the China side. But the drug production group that kidnapped Professor Luo had nothing to do with him. So, he was just watching from the sidelines.
It wasn't until the Chinese side sent an application for a rescue team that Bo Ang became excited. Because Wu Sheng-hsiung had previously told him that if there was any information about the Chinese border garrison, he would buy it at a high price.
After Wu Sheng-hsiung received the news, even though he didn't think the chances were high, he still contacted a European security company called Forest Wolf. Although it was called a security company, it was actually a mercenary organization.
After the organization understood Wu Sheng-hsiung's needs and analyzed the relevant information, it only took a few hours for them to send a sniper team from their Asian branch in Thailand.
The sniper team took a helicopter provided by the company and arrived at the designated area before the Chinese rescue team arrived. They completed the ambush.
For Wu Sheng-hsiung, today was undoubtedly a lucky day. The moment he learned that Qu Sen was an active Chinese soldier, he almost thought that it would be difficult for him to avenge his son.
He didn't expect that the Chinese side would actually bring the "main character" with them on an extremely rare small scale border operation.
If this wasn't a blessing from the heavens, then what was?
After silently thanking the heavens, Wu Sheng-hsiung got up and left the tea room. He walked through the corridor and entered the ancestral hall.
There were very few rows in the ancestral hall. At the top row was Wu Sheng-hsiung's father, and below him were his brothers and sisters.
There was only one row in the third row. It was very new, and the name on it was "Aiko Wu Entai".
He lit a bunch of incense, bowed three times in front of his father's memorial tablet, and inserted the incense into the incense burner. Wu Sheng-hsiung sat down next to Wu Entai's memorial tablet.
He wanted to quietly wait for the gunshot. It was the gunshot of the sniper named Tom.
