Chapter 400: Night Attack
"I'm DEA investigator George, it's 12:35 p.m., we're in the mountains of northern Mexico, and the wire newspaper shows that three days ago Guzmán escaped from Santitos prison in Mexico with the help of his men to a drug manufacturing camp in the mountains, and Agent Mason and I are now going to raid the camp for evidence.

George recorded the passage on Mason's recorder and exhaled softly.
I have to say that the air in this mountainous area is really fresh, much fresher than the air in New York.
George and Mason are both field investigators for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, and although they have carried out many missions, they are both involved in the operation of the big drug lord Guzmán for the first time, so it is inevitable that they are a little nervous.
Here is a brief introduction to the United States Drug Enforcement Administration, the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is affiliated to the United States Department of Justice, also translated as the United States Drug Enforcement Administration, from the English name seems to be like China's Drug Administration, in fact, the drugs here mainly refer to illegal drugs.
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration is very powerful and highly armed, with 21 sub-offices, 227 offices in the United States, and 86 foreign offices in 62 other countries, with 10,891 employees.
Its mandate includes the investigation of related criminal acts, the monitoring of related criminal activities, and the clandestine infiltration of drug cartels.
The agency has a unique privilege that, under agreements between the United States and certain countries, such as the United States Drug Enforcement Administration's planes that can fly across the Mexican border, has the power to take investigative action in those countries that no other police agency in the United States has.
"Okay," Agent Mason said, adjusting his gear, "check your gear and get ready to head into the mountain." ”
George agreed, turned his head, and said to their hired local guide, Icaleain, "Icaleain, you will hide after taking us to the camp for a while, and you will come out when we look for you, understand?" ”
Icalein, a farmer in his 50s, used to grow opium poppies in the central mountains, but when Garardo was arrested and imprisoned, they switched to planting fruit trees and the like.
However, Ikaleen has lived and worked in the mountains for most of his life, and it can be said that no one is more familiar with the conditions in the mountains than he is.
"Follow this road into the mountain, there is a layer of barbed wire not far ahead, which was made by the people who closed the mountain, we can't get in, we have to take a detour." Ikaleen glanced in the direction in front of him and said to George and Mason.
Mason looked at his watch, frowned slightly, and said, "No, it's too late, the intelligence shows that Guzmán will move at dawn, we have to hurry up, and we will go from this road." ”
George pulled something from his bag that resembled a flamethrower and said, "Don't worry, Ikalene." ”
Seeing that the two of them insisted, Ikaleen had no other choice but to take them deep into the mountains and forests.
It didn't take long for a layer of barbed wire more than three meters high to appear in front of them, but when they walked in front of the barbed wire, they found that there was a hole more than half a person high five or six meters to the right of the place where they were at this time.
George looked at the hole and said with a smile, "It seems that we have saved all our equipment." ”
Mason, however, doesn't think so.
Next to the hole in the barbed wire hung a wooden sign that read "No Entry" and then a bear's head.
Of course, this wooden sign is not the key point that Mason noticed, the key point is that the lower end of the wooden card seems to have been torn off by something, showing an extremely irregular edge.
Moreover, if you look closer, you can see that there are several scratches that resemble creature scratches on the wooden plaque, as well as a small amount of blood.
Seeing that Mason was so interested in the wooden sign, George also leaned in and asked, "Mason, are you scared?" ”
Mason was startled when he heard George's voice, and he hurriedly stood up straight, and almost knocked George down.
"It's a little weird here, let's be careful." Mason pretended nothing had happened and said to George and Icaline.
George didn't know what was going on, but when he saw Mason's nervous appearance, he became nervous.
Mason is a staff member of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency's office in Mexico, and he is familiar with the situation here, and for George, an investigator who has just come from New York, he is an old-timer and must be admired.
In this way, the three of them carefully passed through the half-human-high hole and entered the northern mountains.
The forests in the mountains of northern Mexico are already very dense, and in addition to Guzmán's drug camp, in order to prevent outsiders from entering them, the mountains and forests here have not been cut down at all, and they are completely in a natural state of growth.
George cautiously flashed his flashlight and groped his way through the midnight forest, it stands to reason that there should be owl calls from time to time in the midnight forest, but tonight I don't know why, the mountain forest was frightened, and the three of them couldn't hear anything except their own footsteps.
George walked in front of a low shrub that was sheltered, and George reached out to pick it open, but was stopped by Mason's reach.
"Wait a minute!" Mason whispered.
George was startled and hurriedly withdrew his hand, only then did George see that in the low bushes, there were several black ropes hidden in them that were barely visible unless you looked closely.
The black ropes were pulled straight and stretched into the darkness that could not be seen.
George broke out in a cold sweat when he saw these ropes, and he knew very well what these ropes were for.
This is a relatively primitive mechanism, and its specific use is like the kind of infrared defense device that often appears in movies, as long as someone touches these ropes, the bell attached to the rope or something else will ring, and then the people in the camp will know that someone is coming, which is a relatively simple siren.
However, this simple to primitive siren is very useful in this primeval mountain forest.
George: They bypassed the simple sirens and continued to grope their way into the forest.
After the turmoil just now, George and the others are more careful, and the ghost knows what other precautions there are here.
However, just as they had been crossing the black ropes for about five or six minutes, suddenly the sound of metal clashing in the woods sounded.
"Oops! Which of you has touched that thin line! Mason asked urgently, looking in the direction of George and Icaline.
