Chapter 265: Continuing the Pursuit (03)
Everything was ready, success or failure was at stake, and the griffon took a deep breath and gave the order to attack.
Immediately, the team members who had already entered the combat position immediately started to attack from different directions, and the first round of attacks did not make much noise, at least six enemies were killed at the same time, but the sound of the enemy falling to the ground seemed to be louder.
Followed by several smoke bombs, flashbangs flew over, clockwise inside and outside the house was filled with smoke, dazzling white light flickered continuously, the griffin immediately led people forward, without hesitation into the smoke, at this point, the enemy reacted, began to counterattack, gunshots, although it was a hasty battle, but these enemies fought in a disciplined way, but I didn't see how panicked they were, they actually played both offensive and defensive momentum, and even organized a counter-charge, However, under the concentrated attack of the griffin, these resistances did not play a role, almost most of the enemy was annihilated under the first round of attacks, the remaining enemies saw that the general trend had gone and began to flee, the defensive formation was instantly dispersed, and most of them were annihilated under the effective command of the griffin, only a small number were captured, and when they rushed into the wooden house, they found that there were six people locked inside, all of whom were beaten and bruised, two of them were 03 mercenaries, one of HK's agents, and the rest were all Natasha's subordinates.
"Why are there only a few of you?" The griffin asked a few acquaintances.
"About two hours ago, Carol came and took the rest of the people away." A man named Kurokawa said that he had been trained as a griffin and that he had followed Natasha on this operation.
"Leaving two hours ago?" The griffin frowned and looked at the environment in the house, this was indeed the wooden house where Carol was yesterday, and the camera used for the live broadcast had not been removed.
Suddenly, they heard Carol's voice coming from overhead, "I thought you didn't find this place so quickly, it seems that I was negligent, griffins are griffins, and they really have the ability." ”
After careful searching, they finally found two speakers on the roof, and the sound came from inside.
It seemed that Carol could see what was going on on their side, and the griffon turned her attention to the camera, which was still working.
"What the hell are you going to do?" The griffon asked.
"Of course, we want to continue our deal, but you don't seem to keep your promises, so you have to pay the price, and the deaths of these two people are your fault." Saying that, Carol interrupted the call.
"Let's go." The griffin immediately ordered that this place should not be lingered for long.
He was still walking through all the equipment here before evacuating, and perhaps the information in it could give them some clues.
"How's Natasha doing?" The griffin asked Kurokawa in a low voice.
"I don't know, before this, we were all locked up together, we were all interrogated, and she was no exception, and the injuries were not light." Kurokawa said, "I didn't expect us to be saved, thank you so much." ”
"Did Carol say anything when she left?" The griffon asked again.
"No, he just ordered some of the people to be taken away, leaving us to be left to be dealt with, and he mentioned that this place is not safe." "At least the others were healthy until they left here, and although they were not lightly injured, they were not missing arms or legs. ”
This is good news, at least the others are still alive, which is more important than anything else, but their operation is only a preliminary purpose.
But soon they receive another piece of the news that Carol has killed two more people as an ambition for their operation.
And the whole process is still broadcast live on the Internet, this time the turmoil is better than the last time, however, public opinion is clearly divided into two factions, one group praised their efforts, although they failed to save everyone, but at least six lives were saved, which is worthy of recognition.
On the other hand, they accused them of being too stupid and should have negotiated a reasonable solution, rather than using force to provoke the enemy and lead to the execution of the two hostages......
The two factions attacked each other, accusing each other, and it was extremely lively for a while, but the upper echelons of the military doctor still had a positive attitude towards this operation, but when they learned that they only rescued one agent this time, their faces were not very good-looking, they didn't expect that most of the people rescued were outsiders, but it was not easy to show it, after all, this was not something they could choose, Carol was a random person left.
"At least a few were saved, and our operation was not a failure." The ghost whispered.
The griffons and ghosts were the biggest winners, not only did they succeed in their goal and complete the mission, but they also rescued three of their men, half of the people rescued in this operation.
"I didn't expect Carol to be so cunning that she would temporarily change her hiding place." Heavy punch shook his head.
"If you can save one, count it as one! All we do now is to reduce casualties, and this operation was a success in comparison, although two were killed again, and he saved at least six lives. ”
"Isn't life measured by how many you can count, so don't those two people want to live? It's just that we don't have the power to save more people. "Keep working, try to find Carol before he kills them all." ”
With the update of the intelligence, they found that one of the two people killed by Carol this time was a ghost subordinate, and the other was one of the people hired by 03, which averaged the losses of all parties, but everyone knew that life could not be measured in this way.
In order to reduce the pressure of public opinion, the superiority of the military doctor reported the success of the operation and interviewed and publicized the agent, and for a time the agent became a hero, but this did not play a positive role enough, but made some media accuse them of creating and guiding public opinion, ignoring the lives and deaths of the remaining dozen people.
"Stupid, of course it's okay to report, but it has to be done in moderation, and all the results they are doing now are all for their own fun." The ghost shook his head at the news.
"They are also forced to have no way out, if you don't save one, it is estimated that they and their director may also be removed." The ghost said.
"In fact, the media is right, don't be carried away by a successful rescue, after all, there are still a few people who have been rescued, and many more people are still trapped and may be killed at any time." "Actually, I'm more worried about Natasha, who shouldn't be captured as a woman." ”
"We're also worried, after all, we're friends." Punch it.
"That's why we have to work hard to get them all back as soon as possible, but everyone knows that it's not easy." The ghost walks around the house.
"The message you're providing from this channel is crucial, see if they can gather more relevant leads?" Heavy punch said.
The ghost nodded, "I've already said hello, and if there's a discovery over there, I'll let us know at any time, but don't forget, this time I found Carol's action by accident, not because their intelligence gathering ability is strong enough, so don't expect too much from there." ”
"Did you find it? It is a shame that intelligence agencies like the CIA are not as many as some small intelligence traffickers, and they still falsely claim to be the world's largest intelligence agency. "The ghost said.
"The data has been updated, confirming that the 'Clock Tower' has a large investment in the country, and the relationship with the country's top management is extraordinary, the 'Clock Tower' owns industries all over the country, and at least 13 of the country's heavy industries are also built by the 'Clock Tower'." Worm said.
Heavy Punch nodded, "That makes sense, Carol is unimpeded there because of their relationship with the upper echelons, it seems that the country has been infiltrated by the 'Clock Tower', so from this point of view, Carol may still be in the country." ”
The ghost pouted, "Although this country is not big, it is not small, and it is indeed not easy to find Carol without further clues, so this is not valuable information." ”
"At least we have some clues." "Also, Carroll hasn't explicitly stopped the hostage exchange, so this work will continue, and I hope the medic can stabilize the situation and buy more time." ”
"They are analysing satellite data in the area in the hope of finding Carol's whereabouts, while the data on the equipment seized by the griffins is being processed, and perhaps there will be other gains, because there has been an influx of agents into the country to investigate this, in short, all parties are trying to find Carol's whereabouts, but when the results will be available, it is still unknown." Heavy punch said.
"The big question is time." Worm said.
The follow-up investigation actually didn't go well, they never found Carol's whereabouts, and the military doctor had no choice but to exchange Wade for two people after getting permission from his superiors, but what disappointed them was that these two people didn't want a family, and they were all ghosts' subordinates.
"It seems that Carol calculated exactly what they wanted, so she won't give it, but it's okay, at least she can put your people back." Punch said to the ghost.
The ghost smiled, "It is estimated that the military doctor is going crazy, and the entire rescue operation has so far, although eight people have been recovered, only one of them is his, and he is the one who has contributed the most." ”
"His situation is indeed embarrassing, although the outside world is changing their views on them, but they are really dumb now, and on the surface it seems that they have saved a lot of people back, but in fact, most of them have nothing to do with him." "Now the whole world thinks that the 20 or so captured are their agents, and now eight have been rescued, but in fact, only one really belongs to them." ”
"It's a pity that Wade has been let go, if we can't think of a better way, I'm afraid we really have to let go of all the people in the 'clock tower' in our hands, although these people have played a limited role, but who would be willing to let them go? Our early efforts are really going to be in vain. Worm said with a sigh.
Wade was let go like this, and he has provided some limited information from his capture to the present, but there is still a lot of inside information that has not been revealed, but no one thought that he would be free one day.
"This is something that no one wants to see, but we don't have a choice, no matter what, our work has to continue, Carol will never stop, we can't stop investigating its whereabouts, in the past day, we have done a lot of work, but it is basically in vain, it has not played any role at all, maybe we have to go through this process in the future, then we can't stop, because there are still a dozen people waiting for us to rescue, and their families are also waiting for them to come home." Heavy punch said.
But having said that, even if they want to work hard, they should always have a direction, during this time, they have checked everything they should have checked, and they have done everything they should have done, but they still can't determine where Carol fled to, in order to find this guy, the military doctor sent at least more than 200 agents from the surrounding area to the country, but there is still no gain.
"So far, Carroll has not made any new requests, but as agreed, we should return the hamster to him this time." Worm said.
"I don't know how many hamsters can be exchanged for, his value is much higher than Wade, it's just that in our hands, he doesn't play his due value." Heavy punch said.
"That's a dead man who can breathe, it costs money to raise him, and it's a pity to throw him away, I hope those negotiators can work harder and exchange him for a few more people to come back." The ghost said.
In fact, they all know very well that the exchange cannot achieve the ultimate goal, at most a few people are exchanged, it is impossible to get everyone back in this way, this is just a palliative treatment, but so far, they can't think of any better way, which does make them quite scratching their heads.
"Carol has the upper hand, he has initially achieved his goal, so he will definitely not give up, he will continue to exchange hostages, but he will definitely not simply exchange hostages, there must be other ideas, as for what is unknown, but I believe that what he wants to do will definitely not make us happy." Worm said with certainty.
"Carol would definitely be doing something else in the dark, and he didn't make such a big noise to save a few people." "So we'll have to be careful." ”
"Sneak up on us? I've made the preparations since the last time, and it's not so easy to sneak up on me again, so I suggest you remind the person who should be reminded to be careful! The ghost said.
"Do you think he will go to the sneak attack ~ CIA headquarters? He's not that two, is he? The ghost didn't believe it at all.
"If that place is attacked, what do you think will happen? That is not only a blow to the organization, but also a loss of face for the old beauty? It can be used to the maximum extent to combat it. "The worm has seriously analyzed this possibility.
"He's not afraid that he will really anger Lao Mei and incur revenge? Iraq and Afghanistan are lessons learned. The ghost said.
"Are you stupid? Now no one knows what the 'clock tower' is all about, and even if Lao Mei wants to send an army, there is no goal. "Maybe that's the main reason why they dare to make unscrupulous demands and do things, because they don't worry that someone will find them and retaliate against them." ”
"That's true." Heavy punch agrees with the insects, "They do protect themselves very well, no one knows what kind of organization they are, even if they want to attack them, it is nothing more than destroying their industries around the world, although we have done a good job in this regard, but their reaction is a little too cold, we have analyzed before, they probably don't care about that money, if this is the case, then their real strength may have reached an extremely terrifying point." ”
"Alas, such an opponent is really difficult to deal with." The ghost said, "After such a long time of hard work, we only know about a few groups under their command in the end, although we have caught a few insiders, but now it seems to be ......" The reason why he didn't say any more was because he felt aggrieved, and it took so much effort to arrest those people before they could understand it, so he was forced to go back, at least now, Wade has been freed, if their investigation has not yet been concluded, then I am afraid that everyone else will eventually be released.
Now their biggest problem is that they have nowhere to go, they are not afraid that the enemy is too strong, they are afraid that they will not be able to touch the traces of the enemy, not to mention that the 'clock tower' can successfully hide themselves, and now they can't even find Carol, this guy suddenly disappeared, it must not be because of something else, maybe he is afraid of being tracked, so he did not easily contact the military doctor again.
But whether this is the case or not, they have no way to deduce, because now they have no time to take care of this, they must continue to work hard to find Carol, after all, only by finding Carol can they find the whereabouts of those captured people, and they can take further action to rescue these people, in order to ensure that they do not need to exchange with the people in their hands, in order to avoid losing face in front of the world, of course, this is nothing to them, after all, they are some small organizations that the vast majority of people in the world do not know, Definitely not as famous as the Central ~ CIA, the real will lose face and lose the trust of the people, lose political capital, the intelligence is the United States, so most of the pressure is on the military doctor, as for the ghost of the Yoshikawa Society, and the lone wolf 03 They are much better than that, the biggest pressure they face is not the outside, but the urgent mood of wanting to save the captives.
What happened in recent days has indeed exceeded expectations, and is continuing to brew and ferment, developing in an uncontrollable direction, the military doctor continues the rescue work under great pressure, not only to track down Carol's whereabouts, but also to negotiate with Carol to buy time, although he opened all the channels in his hands, but in the end he still could not find Carol's whereabouts, and in desperation, he could only release the personnel in his hands to a limited extent in exchange for the freedom of the captured people, so as to avoid Carol killing people.
So in the past few days, the military doctor has really been living like a year, he has worked hard in the past few days and looks at least ten years old, and most of his hair has turned gray, which shows how much pressure he has......
