Chris's team tried to transfer a few more agents over. After all, the Carlos Family might send more than 30 people this time.
That was no ordinary gang. They were a drug trafficking organization. As long as there was a need, it was very likely that each of them would have an AK, and it was not impossible for them to have grenades.
Robert also opened up weapons for the officers. Recently, everyone had two heavy firearms in their cars.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to fight an AK head-on with a Glock.
Lu Ke's three attribute points were added. This time, he finally found the right way to add points. He didn't have to suffer much.
When his Dexterity increased from 16 to 17, the discomfort he felt didn't affect his daily movements.
Also, there was an advantage to adding points this way. He didn't need to eat or drink. He just needed to eat twice as much every day, and that would be enough.
Of course, this was also because the increase in Dexterity required less energy.
A week later, the FBI received accurate news.
The people from the Carlos Family had arrived.
In three days at most, the people from Mexico would arrive at the town, but no one knew what the other party would do.
Robert had done Catherine's work in advance.
Once the Carlos Family was within 100 kilometers of the town, Catherine would hide outside the town with Claire. Catherine's father had a big ranch there, so it wouldn't be easy for the Carlos Family to find them.
She had a lot of people in her family. Her parents, siblings, cousins, and so on added up to 20 people. She could only ask the police to be on standby.
In case of an emergency, they could bring the whole family to a temporary safe house.
The next day, bad news came.
Chris's team had lost track of the Mexican people.
The group of gunmen had suddenly disappeared in a city 500 kilometers away from the town. The FBI couldn't find any trace of them.
Chris was having a headache over this situation.
For the Carlos Family to be able to thrive in Mexico, it wasn't as if they didn't have the ability to do so. At the very least, they had managed to escape.
However, they still had a trump card. They were definitely coming for the town.
Chris could only ask the FBI to continue tracking the group of gunmen. At the same time, he set up surveillance cameras on the roads in and out of the town.
There were at least 20 people in the Carlos Family's team. With such a large group, it was impossible to hide from the surveillance cameras.
Robert had already sent Catherine, Claire, and Joseph to his father-in-law's ranch outside of town. He didn't dare to let them stay in town.
On the third day, Chris still hadn't found any news of the gunmen, but the town's police and FBI team were on high alert.
On the fourth day, nothing happened.
The fifth day continued to be peaceful. Lu Ke and Selina took turns resting.
Chris still couldn't find any traces of the gunmen.
Robert called Chris over and asked him about the situation.
The current situation was too torturous.
Everyone was like a tightly wound doll that could not be activated. It was extremely uncomfortable.
Robert almost quarreled with Chris.
Even the Americans understood the saying that long defense would lead to losses.
Any kind of defense could not last long. If this continued, the other party would be accumulating power and waiting for him to exhaust himself.
On the other hand, the police and the FBI team were on tenterhooks, staying up all night to keep watch.
After a few more days, it would be normal for their combat power to drop by two or three cooldowns.
On the sixth day, Lu Ke and Zhang Han took turns to rest.
Chris finally received some good news. His men had found some clues left behind by the gunmen in a small town a few hundred kilometers away. They should be able to find them soon.
On the seventh day, Lu Ke and Selina were on the night shift.
There weren't many people in the town's police station. There were only two officers on the night shift, so they only needed to patrol every few hours.
Lu Ke and Selina followed their usual routine and went out every two hours.
At two o 'clock, Lu Ke woke up Selina, who was taking a nap on a makeshift bed made of two chairs. They washed their faces, checked their equipment, and went out again.
Actually, it was best for them to stay in the police station.
However, Chris had talked to the two of them and told them that although the Carlos Family was very cruel, they were also very cunning in their way of doing things.
If Lu Ke and Selina's actions were too different from usual, the other party might use unconventional methods to deal with them.
Selina had asked, "For example?"
Chris was silent for a moment. "For example, time bombs or long-range snipers. According to our information, the Carlos Family has a few veteran police officers who retired from the Mexican Special Forces. "
Lu Ke and Selina were silent.
It wasn't uncommon for drug dealers to end up as drug dealers in Mexico.
In order to lure out the gunmen, Lu Ke and Selina had to be more vigilant, but they couldn't change their routine too much.
They still wore the bulletproof vest, and Lu Ke even added an extra layer of bulletproof armor. Although it was a bit heavy, it was better than being shot.
Under his suggestion, Selina also put on a few pieces of bulletproof armor. However, she wasn't strong enough, so she could only selectively protect her vitals, such as her heart.
Of course, the effect of doing this was better than nothing. It was just a little peace of mind.
It was night time, and Lu Ke had placed the two heavy firearms that were in the trunk during the day into the storage compartment in the middle of the front seats. It was more convenient for him to access them.
Selina was still driving, and the police car slowly drove onto the main road of the town.
Ten minutes later, the police car reached the end of the north side of the town. Then, it turned around and headed south.
When they were almost at the southern edge of the town, a red dot flashed in Lu Ke's peripheral vision.
His strength was now 18, and his dexterity was 17.
Strength strengthened the body. Not only did it increase his strength, but his vision, hearing, and smell had also improved.
Dexterity didn't just increase his flexibility, but it also increased his reaction speed, dynamic vision, and so on.
After more than two months as a police officer, his observation skills and alertness had also improved.
Almost in an instant, he determined what the flickering red dot was: a cigarette butt.
Someone wasn't sleeping at home in the middle of the night, but hiding in a corner to smoke?
If this was China, it might have happened. It was normal for people to get drunk and go crazy on the streets in the middle of the night.
But this was America, a remote town in Texas.
Unless it was a special situation or a criminal, only a psychopath would be outside at this time.
He shifted his gaze to the right and stared at it, only to find that the red dot had disappeared.
