After Jiang Cheng gave the order, Zhao Hu and Ye Shaowen immediately began to prepare. Although sneaking into the U.S. military base seemed like an unsolvable problem to them, they still believed in Cheng Ge's decision and unconditional support.
After more than an hour, a total of two off-road vehicles and six people were all ready to go. Each of them was assigned a military backpack for storing food. The backpack contained two to three days' worth of food and water. They were all prepared for a long battle.
Although they drove at first, as they got closer and closer to the base, the vehicles were too conspicuous and inconvenient. It was rather noisy, so it was more convenient to walk. However, once they hid, they would not walk around casually. They would stay there for two to three days, so of course, they had to bring all the food.
Jiang Cheng walked into the SUV at the front and said to Zhao Hu, who was driving next to him, "Let's go! Go to the most frequent route of the U.S. Army at Beauregard Base. Stop when it's about 3,000 meters away. "
"Okay." Zhao Hu nodded solemnly. He stepped on the accelerator, and the car began to move slowly.
It was past eight o 'clock in the evening, and the sky was basically dark. The Lung Hing Society brothers were taking a remote path, so they did not attract anyone's attention.
The two SUVs of the Lung Hing Society swayed left and right on the remote path. While driving, Zhao Hu explained to Jiang Cheng, "This route is particularly difficult to travel, but through this place, we can go straight to the middle of the route between Beauregard Base and Syria. The U.S. Army has the most people on this route, and their movements are the most frequent."
"Okay." Jiang Cheng nodded and looked at the map in his hand. After a while, he said, "Beauregard Base is about 60 kilometers away from the other two U.S. Army bases, and it's only 40 kilometers away from the border of Syria. No wonder they often transfer troops from this base. They've already taken care of Iraq, and their next step is to extend their tentacles to Syria."
"Yes, Cheng Ge. There are now large-scale terrorist organizations in Syria. It's a war-torn area. According to our observation, the U.S. Army has captured a large number of civilians in Syria and Iraq for genetic modification experiments," Zhao Hu said with a nod.
"We have evidence in this regard." Ye Shaowen added from the backseat of the car, "Some of our brothers witnessed the US Army escorting civilians from Syria into the Beauregard base. There were more than a dozen of them, and this kind of atrocity would repeat every six to seven days. The number of people involved each time is different, ranging from a few to 20 to 30. They are basically ordinary civilians or civilians who want to attack them."
"How many days has it been since a civilian was captured?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"Three days," Ye Shaowen replied.
"In other words, if we stay on this route for two or three days, we'll have a chance to see the next batch of people?" Jiang Cheng lowered his head and muttered to himself.
Ye Shaowen thought about it, nodded, and said, "That's basically the case, but I can't be too sure, because the US Army not only captures people from Syria, but also local Iraqis."
Jiang Cheng fell silent, thinking quietly in his mind …
After more than 20 minutes, Jiang Cheng and the others arrived at a remote corner and walked to the off-road vehicle. Together with Zhao Hu, Ye Shaowen, and a brother named Wang Hai, they approached the route where the US Army frequently appeared. As for the other two brothers from the Lung Hing Society, they stayed behind to watch the vehicle. On one hand, it was to ensure the vehicle's safety, and on the other hand, it was to ensure that they could rescue Jiang Cheng and the others in time in case of an accident.
Jiang Cheng and the other three each carried a military backpack and walked in the direction of the vehicle. They were ready to get close to 500 meters to investigate. The area they chose was close to the most active entrance and exit of the Boland base. It was about 15000 meters away from the entrance and 2,000 meters away from the most frequented road. They would continue to move forward and stop when they were about 500 meters away. After that, they would stay here for two or three days to investigate the entrance and the details of the people entering and leaving the base.
"Cheng Ge, there's a perfect spot to investigate on this road. It was discovered by Brother Wang Hai. We have a good view there, and it's not easy to be discovered," said Zhao Hu in a low voice as he and Wang Hai walked in front.
The brother named Wang Hai raised his hand and pointed to the front. "It's right in front. There's a high slope there, but there's a pit in the middle of the slope. We can monitor all the movements of the US Army from there."
Jiang Cheng was a little surprised. He asked Wang Hai, "So you're the one who discovered that the US Army captured civilians and brought them into the base?"
Hearing Brother Cheng's question, a proud smile appeared on Wang Hai's face. He nodded and said, "That's right, but the other brothers have also found out. In addition, we also found out that the other two US bases often send captives here. Actually, I have a guess, but … I don't know if it's correct." He smiled shyly and scratched the back of his head, as if he was too embarrassed to say it.
"Oh? Let's hear it. "Jiang Cheng immediately opened his mouth. He was surprised and curious.
"This is my personal guess. I might be overthinking it, so I didn't mention it before." Wang Hai scratched the back of his head and said, "Recently, we discovered that the Boland base's demand for the number of captives has increased. Originally, they only captured people in Syria. Now, the other two bases also send captives over from time to time. It feels like … it feels like the progress of the experiment has accelerated, or the research has reached a critical stage, and it will soon reach maturity."
Jiang Cheng's spirit shook. This wasn't Wang Hai thinking too much. There was indeed such a possibility! They had to speed up. If they didn't hurry up and get this thing out, it would fall into the hands of the US government when it was fully mature. At that time, they wouldn't be able to get it no matter what. This was because the mature research project would carry out more covert experiments and gradually spread out. This kind of information was everywhere, and they couldn't destroy it even if they wanted to!
Now that the genetic modification project had not matured, all the research information was held in this research institute. If they destroyed this place, all the research results would be lost! This was their only chance!
The reason why he was so sure that all the research information was in this research institute was because this was their research results. Who would tell their colleagues in other scientific research institutes about their unfinished research secrets? If that happened, they wouldn't get anything. Maybe the publication of the mature genetic modification drug would be booked by other laboratories! Naturally, they wouldn't do something like that. Besides, this kind of research laboratory used a local area network. It would be wishful thinking to obtain the information through hacking and other means. Similarly! Their computer circuit also didn't have the function to transmit the information to the outside world. This was to prevent spies in the research institute from leaking the information.
"It's very possible." Jiang Cheng rubbed his chin and pondered.
Zhao Hu and Ye Shaowen also frowned. Everyone thought of the same thing. The genetic modification project was close to maturity, and they had to act as soon as possible. But now, they were still helpless!
"Let's go. We'll take a look at the front." Jiang Cheng waved to the others.
The other three also began to move. The group walked forward for about five minutes and arrived at the waist of a high slope. This place was less than 500 meters from the road below. There was a concave ditch. It was dry inside, which was more convenient for movement. If the U.S. Army really found them, they could escape through the ditch. It was a good scouting location.
Jiang Cheng and the other three crouched in the ditch and looked at the road below. They quietly waited for the U.S. Army to pass through here.
The four of them took turns to rest and guard. It was estimated that no one would pass through here. According to previous experience, the U.S. Army would usually pass through here at four or five in the morning. It was only ten o 'clock at night. It was still very early. Therefore, they decided to let Ye Shaowen and Wang Hai guard first. Jiang Cheng and Zhao Hu rest first. They would change shifts at three o' clock in the morning.
Time passed. In the blink of an eye, it was already midnight. Jiang Cheng and Zhao Hu were sleeping soundly in the ditch. But at this moment, Jiang Cheng suddenly opened his eyes. He sat up and looked straight at the forest in the southeast corner. His expression was quite serious.
Ye Shaowen and Wang Hai, who were on guard duty, were startled. They both turned to look at Jiang Cheng.
"What's wrong, Cheng Ge?" Wang Hai asked nervously.
"There's someone over there," Jiang Cheng said softly with a serious expression as he looked straight at the forest in the southeast corner.
"There's someone over there?" Wang Hai looked in that direction in surprise, but all he saw was calm. There was no sign of anyone. He turned his head and looked at Jiang Cheng in confusion. He couldn't tell at all. How did Cheng Ge know there was someone over there when he was sleeping?
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "There are footsteps coming from that place, but it seems to have stopped now."
Ye Shaowen frowned and thought for a moment. He asked, "Cheng Ge, how many people are there and how far are they from here?"
"The number is not clear, but it should be no less than five people. They are about 150 meters away from us." Jiang Cheng thought for a moment before answering cautiously.
"150 meters? That close! " Wang Hai couldn't help but scream. But then he knew he had lost control and hurriedly covered his mouth. After a while, he let go and said in a low voice, "Then who are these people? Terrorists or …? "
Ye Shaowen lowered his head in thought. At this time, he raised his head and looked at Jiang Cheng. They both knew what each other was thinking. He said in a low voice, "Cheng Ge, it seems that we have finally bumped into them. These guys are also after the U.S. Army. Which country do you think they are from?"
"I don't know, but we don't need to know." Jiang Cheng shook his head, paused and said, "These people seem to have very professional military training. You guys have been monitoring here before, so it is very likely that they have already discovered you. But they don't seem to want to fight with us, so of course we will pretend that we didn't see them."
"In short …" Jiang Cheng's eyes swept across Wang Hai and Ye Shaowen's faces. "Be careful. These guys probably won't attack us, but we have to be careful. After all, we are all afraid that the other party will alert them. If they can easily kill us, they will kill us if they have the chance …"
