The Nightcrawler Base had changed a lot. A complete enterprise computer processing system had replaced the small broken notebook that Li Jie had bought. Now, this notebook had been given by Li Jie to the little spider Peter for him to play Spider Solitaire.
Nine display screens were hung on the wall, showing the surveillance footage taken from 54 different angles. This was to ensure that if someone invaded the base, they would be discovered immediately.
At the end of the road near the base, there were three infrared triggered security devices, which were the last warning system of the base. Inside the base, there was a medical freezer, which contained some drugs that needed to be refrigerated at low temperatures to ensure their activity.
The small cabinets that Li Jie had bought to store things had all been transformed into storage cabinets, stacked together, specially used to store miscellaneous items and documents.
There were also some daily necessities in the base, such as a sofa, two single wire beds, and a few chairs. There was also a freezer to store food and a microwave oven.
The place that was originally a simple wooden table had been replaced with a stainless steel table.
This kind of table was more durable, and the surface was smoother. The shelter itself was quite big, and it seemed to be used for at least 50 people.
The shelter was built during the Cold War to prevent nuclear attacks from the Soviet Union. Although it was not really a level 1 bunker that could withstand a nuclear attack, it could defend against shockwaves far away from the center of a nuclear explosion.
The alloy iron door that was originally used to isolate nuclear radiation had already rusted, and Li Jie could only use iron chains and iron locks to barely lock the iron door.
However, after Frank joined Li Jie and Peter's team, he thought that the alloy iron door was very good. Ordinary weapons could not penetrate the iron door, so the three spent a few hours to remove the rust and tidy up the entire iron door. Finally, the iron door could be closed perfectly.
Because it was previously used to prevent nuclear attacks, there were actually a lot of living facilities inside. However, because this shelter was built 40 years ago, and it had been almost 30 years since the collapse of the Soviet Union, many things had fallen into disrepair.
Previously, Li Jie only cleaned a small part of the place. Originally, it was just a place to connect with the small spiders, and at the same time, it was used as a warehouse.
But now that Frank was here, he felt that these things were very useful. It was much better than the base he had set up in the sewers, so the three of them started to repair and replace many of the equipment in the shelter.
Now, the base truly had the shape of a base. There was a living area, a combat information area, a weapons and equipment area, as well as facilities such as bathrooms. Moreover, due to the spacious interior, Frank suggested to build a simple combat training area.
Previously, Li Jie felt that his base was quite good, but now, Frank showed Li Jie and Peter what it meant to be professional.
This was a base that truly had combat command, intelligence analysis, and weapons replenishment. The one that Li Jie had was just a simple foothold at best.
Of course, most of the equipment was provided by Frank, which made Li Jie wonder if Frank had ransacked a logistics warehouse of the US military.
Now, Peter Parker was making his own spider silk in the equipment area. The money he spent was 150,000 US dollars from the drug money seized last time. He used his relationship with Frank to launder the money to get the equipment.
Li Jie and Peter suddenly felt that they were useless. It seemed that they did not know how to do anything except fighting. The most infuriating thing was that if Frank was fully prepared and made a battle plan, the two of them might not be able to defeat Frank. This was the difference between a real superhero and a rookie hero.
Frank and Li Jie were now in the weapons area preparing weapons. These weapons were Frank's private collection. They really did not know where he got so many contraband items.
Although the US did not prohibit guns, there were still many guns that could not be bought on the market. Frank's warehouse obviously had a lot of standard US military equipment, and even special warfare equipment. These things could not be bought on the market.
"I remember that your marksmanship is not bad, right, Nightcrawler?" The Punisher Frank said to Li Jie as he was sorting out his weapons.
"It's alright. I can still shoot accurately if the distance is not too far." Li Jie was using the method that Frank taught him before to maintain a gun.
These days, other than tidying up the base, the three of them did not idle around. Li Jie remembered several of his own missions, Peter still wanted to deal with the mutated lizardmen that he created, and Frank was ready to destroy the Stanich family.
Now, the three of them could be said to have a high degree of unity, and their spearheads were all focused on the secret warehouse of the Stanich family. The three of them took turns to monitor and study the warehouse's duty pattern.
Li Jie, who was following beside Frank, finally realized how reckless his behavior in the underground garage was. He did not have a plan, did not have any strategic intentions, and did not even know the enemy's strength before he went in headfirst.
Fortunately, he still had some strength, or else he would not even know how he died.
Every time Frank fought, he would have a detailed plan with a clear strategic intention. This included studying the enemy's pattern, the opponent's strength, and formulating detailed combat rules and so on.
These were things that Li Jie could not compare to. Although it was only a few days, Li Jie felt that he had benefited a lot.
The opportunity to be taught how to fight by the strongest human special warfare expert was not easy to come by.
Now, Li Jie had been following behind Frank, and he was just short of calling him master. Now, the two of them were sorting out the guns that would be used in the operation.
The tranquilizer gun used by the US military's special forces did not have a long range, only 200 meters, and had almost no lethality. However, the powerful tranquilizer bullet could instantly put the enemy to sleep.
The biggest advantage of this gun was that it did not have a flame at the muzzle, which made it almost impossible to find the location of the shot in the dark.
Moreover, when the bullet was fired, the sound it made was close to silent, which made this gun widely used in special forces infiltration operations.
Perhaps people who did not understand guns would think that silencers were the same, but in fact, there was a misunderstanding. The so-called silencer was actually a flame suppressor.
The purpose of this equipment was to suppress the flame at the muzzle of the gun, and it had limited effect on silencing. Moreover, even if it was a real silencer, its purpose was only to protect the user's ears from the noise of the gunshot.
The actual effect wasn't as magical as it was portrayed in the movies. If they really wanted to achieve the silencing effect in the movies. If one really wanted to achieve the effect of silencing in the movies, they would have to use specially made guns with quiet bullets and a silencer.
Frank also had a few of these special spy guns. However, the power of this thing was too small, and it basically did not have any lethality beyond ten meters. It was only suitable for special infiltration operations.
The attack on the Stanich family's warehouse was planned by Frank. The first goal of the mission was not to alert the enemy.
According to the intelligence obtained by Frank, there were more than 60 fully armed soldiers in this warehouse. Other than a few people from the Stanich family, most of them were mercenaries from the Hongshui Security Company.
Unlike the gang members of the Mafia, the mercenaries' combat ability and vigilance were stronger. Any action that led to a direct confrontation was stupid.
After all, there were only three people on their side. Moreover, they now knew that the mutated lizard warrior might be on the Stanich family's side.
Moreover, according to the intelligence, there were three mutated mercenaries sent by the Hongshui Security Company. Even if one of them, the chameleon, was killed by Li Jie. (Li Jie thought the chameleon was dead.)
Then the other party still had two mutated warriors and a big lizard. Their side did not have any advantage in terms of high-end combat power.
Now, they could only rely on a perfect battle plan so that they could eliminate most of the mercenaries without the other party noticing.
The sound of gunshots and the smell of blood would easily expose them. Sneaking in silently was the most important thing.
In fact, Li Jie and Peter were a little nervous. Neither of them had participated in this kind of special operations. Now they could only rely on the experienced Frank to lead the two newbies.
A long-awaited truck finally arrived at the Stanich family's warehouse. The most important goods of this transaction had finally arrived.
Frank tidied up his equipment and prepared for a sneak attack with the two newbie heroes who had never participated in special operations.
The conflict between the two sides was imminent.
