Chapter 82: Trap (01)

Bug took them to the bustling area north of the city, although they got the exact information that Ruben had arrived in Iraq and was in the city, but they had not yet found out where he was staying, and Bug had inquired through the relationship, but had not yet received a reply.

"It's close to the front line, and a lot of people have fled, so the houses are mostly empty, and no one lives here." The worm took them up to the second floor.

"This place is good, it seems that the people who lived there before were quite wealthy." The ghost said as he looked at the furnishings in the house.

"Have you figured out what Lu Ben is here for?" Punch went around the house and finally stood at the window looking out.

"It's not clear yet, it's only known that he came from Saudi Arabia, entered yesterday and arrived in the city this morning, the specific purpose is not clear, but the intelligence shows that he brought a lot of men this time." Worm said as he threw everything he had bought on the couch, which would last them for at least two days.

"Are your injuries alright?" Punch turned back and asked.

Worm waved his arm, indicating that it was no longer a big deal: "Is there any news of the boss?" ”

"It's been a while since I couldn't get in touch." The ghost pulled out a coffee pot from what he bought, "Got coffee?" ”

"I bought coffee beans and had to grind them myself." Worm said as he lifted the floor, with some guns and ammunition underneath, "Choose your own hand, that's all I can get." ”

"It's all U.S. military-standard equipment." Punched a glance and picked up a HK416 from inside, "Only holoscopes?" ”

"There's only one set of thermal imaging, this kind of thing is considered high-tech equipment here, it's not so easy to do, I asked two arms dealers to get two ACOGs, and they agreed to think of a way, at least tomorrow to have news." Worm said as he tidied up the room, it's different to have a woman here, let alone a woman like him who can't stand the chaos in the house.

"Please, we don't want to live here permanently, and we don't care about the chaos." The ghost gave her a place to speak.

"I'm staying here, and your room is next door." Without looking up, the worm said, "Don't expect me to clean it up for you." ”

"Okay." The ghost felt a little embarrassed.

"Alpha, update the map, I want the highest resolution!" Heavy Punch took some ammunition, "We brought Class B equipment, and by the way, we brought a set of body armor and an exoskeleton for you!" ”

"I prepared the body armor myself!" Worm said.

Heavy punch from the checked suitcase to take out a set of exoskeleton system from the foot to the back, this is a simple version developed by the doctor, can save 60% of the physical strength, increase the weight of 30%, and can be worn closely, it does not affect the outside and then put on the clothes, on the surface can not be seen at all.

At the security checkpoint, this thing is transported as a body support frame for the disabled, but it does look very similar on the surface.

"I'm not optimistic about what the PhD has researched, especially the equipment that hasn't been tested yet." The bugs don't seem to be very interested.

"We've tested it, it's not bad, at least it can save some effort, and running and jumping won't be so tiring." Heavy punch put things aside, "The body armor is also newly made, Kevlar fiber as the main body, ultra-lightweight, except for the two sleeves can be bulletproof." ”

Worm glanced back and realized that it was a shirt, only slightly thicker than a normal shirt, more like a cotton shirt to be precise, and it looked ordinary on the surface.

"But it will definitely hurt to play hard." He put everything down with a heavy fist, then took his things and walked out, "I'll go to sleep; By the way, the doctor said, if you don't like it, don't lose it, just give it back to him. ”

The ghost also stood up and walked away with his things, and the insect simply cleaned up the room, looked at the two sets of things, and exhaled and put them away.

They waited until it was dark and didn't wait for new clues, and the three of them went to bed separately after the vigil, which was still the old rule, and they tried to keep enough rest before the real mission began.

They slept all night listening to the rumbling of artillery and messy gunfire, this place was not very far from the front line, the battle was tight ahead, and it was said that the coalition forces had plans to retreat and abandon the front line, which meant that this place could be lost at any time.

There was not a single person in the streets, not a single light in sight throughout the night, and the darkness seemed to swallow everything here, and the whole city trembled under the rumbling artillery fire.

At three o'clock in the morning, Alpha received a message that Ruben would appear on the black market of weapons in a border area 100 kilometers away from here two days later, and the message turned out to be sent by Si Yunfei, but he did not have any call with them, but simply sent such a clue.

"What's the boss up to lately? Why are you so mysterious? "Worm was a little disappointed that he couldn't talk to Si Yunfei.

"No one knows what he's up to." Heavy Punch said silently, "He won't show up until the critical moment." ”

"It's so hard to see him." The worm is helpless.

"Every time he shows up, he makes a big move, I don't expect him to come out all the time, I'd rather he just send us news." The ghost shadow seemed to be afraid of Si Yunfei's appearance.

"It's not that serious, it's because he only worries about big things, and we do all the small things, I believe he should have found something by now, we are filling some gaps in what he does, he is alone outside that is called life and death, we do this little thing for him to be pediatric." "There's a black market for weapons here, I didn't expect it." ”

"In the early days, the area was a small-scale arms trading market spontaneously formed by some residents to buy guns and ammunition for self-protection, mostly with conventional guns and ammunition, and then gradually developed into a stronghold for neighboring countries and some rebels to purchase weapons, in the later stage of the Iraq War, because the area is located in a special location, it is located in a remote and barren area, and the local government is unable to govern the government army, so there is no time to take care of it, and later some black market arms dealers are also involved, after nearly ten years of development, the current scale has been formed." Alpha will present limited data authors.

"Even the arms dealers are involved? Then the scale of this weapon black market should be not small. Heavy punch said.

"From AKs to anti-aircraft missiles and helicopter gunships, opposition forces and local armed forces often purchase weapons in this market, and a large number of terrorists come out here to buy some special equipment, and the intelligence agencies of some countries will also use this method to provide weapons and equipment to some of the factions they support," Alpha said. ”

Heavy Punch smiled: "It's a good place to mix fish and dragons, it seems that we really need to see it." ”

100 kilometers is not far away, but it is not close, but the time is still early, and it is indeed not the time to set off now, but now that you know the whereabouts of the target, there is nothing to worry about, Alpha re-collected the information about the black market of the weapon and the satellite map of the area, you can see the particularity of this place from the picture, not just the location is close to the border, the main part of this black market is hidden under a large rock wall, it is a huge canyon, the rock wall on one side of the canyon is out in front, The bottom is concave, forming a huge natural cover, the whole canyon is seven kilometers long, the widest place is more than 200 meters, the height is about 150 meters, there is only one entrance and exit before and after, inside is a huge dead end, the geographical location is extremely private.

"From the satellite imagery, you can't see anything special, except for the flattened ground at Taniguchi, and if you want to find out what's going on inside, I'm afraid you can only know if you go in and see it yourself." Said the heavy punch compared with satellite imagery.

"Two days later is a major trading day for the market once a quarter, with the market open twice a month and the last trading day of each quarter being the largest." "These sources of information are not reliable and should only be used as a basic reference," Alpha said. ”

"Sometimes it's more useful than official information, and it's not even like this kind of place, if there is official information, it can't become a black market." "It's not that easy for me to get in, we really have to dress up carefully." ”

"It reminds me of a masquerade, but these guys aren't necessarily dancing here." The ghost checked his gun and joked, "How do you want to dress up?" Do you wear a woman in a tent? ”

"It's safest if there are women in this place and pretend to be women, and it's impossible to open a woman's veil directly with the local customs, but I can't think of a reason for a woman to come to this kind of place, but at least we have to disguise ourselves as locals."

"We need to look at the terrain first, be prepared, what else do we need? Hurry up and say while I have time, I can go to the arms dealer and ask him to prepare early. Worm asked.

"We're going to the black market for weapons, there should be everything we need, so there's no need to prepare too much, right?" The ghost said.

"It's okay to get some C4 or Tongwei products, and get another Barrett, and the rest should be fine!" Said with a heavy fist without raising his head!

"What are you doing with all this? We're going to arrest people, but not to do anything else? "The worms don't think this thing has much to do with my mission with them.

"Just in case, that kind of place is difficult to get out of once discovered, these things are used to create chaos, Barrett is for you, you are responsible for answering outside, you don't have to go in with us, in case of special circumstances, it's up to you." Punch looked up at her, "This place is so special, it's going to be quite dangerous, we do have to be careful." ”

"Okay, I'll take care of that." Worm nodded and went out.

"We have to try to figure out what's going on inside first and prepare early." The ghost also thinks that what the insect says makes sense, and it is equally important not only to prepare weapons, but also to familiarize yourself with the environment.

"Let's talk about it later, there must be someone guarding that kind of place, no one usually goes, and if you go, you will definitely startle the snake, and then we will go early, and after the market opens, we will go in and take a look first, and figure out the terrain." Heavy punch said.

Before leaving, they disguised themselves as two local stout men, with unshaven beards on their faces, turbans, and wide coats, and changed their guns to AKs in order not to attract attention, with short guns in their clothes, and all other weapons in the car.

When the sun set, they had already reached the outside of the canyon, and what he didn't expect was already brightly lit inside, and many people had already arrived first.

The ghost drove a broken car and punched straight to the canyon, the insect drove to the commanding height on the side of the canyon, although it was impossible to see the innermost situation of the canyon, but this location can control the entrance and exit, it is a good commanding height, but this is not the best choice, and then go about 200 meters is the best place, where it has been occupied, that is the sentinel guarding the canyon, with the canyon as the center within a radius of a few kilometers can not be divided into dozens of such sentinels, it is the local armed forces in order to maintain order, to ensure the operation of the market sent by the subordinates, This market is a cash cow for them, they can collect taxes in this place, in fact, it is another form of protection fee, but under their maintenance, this order is very good, both sides of the transaction do not have to worry about being hacked, this is the point, so it is worth it for people who come here to do business to spend some money to buy peace of mind.

After taking place, Worm took out a small drone the size of a palm and flew it, and these small things quietly entered the canyon from a high altitude, and no one noticed in the dark.

"Alpha, do you get a signal?" Worm asked as he picked up Barrett.

"Roger, an all-round scan of the canyon, image transmission has begun, the facial recognition system has begun to work, the communication signal is detected, and the unknown signal is found to begin to identify ......" Alpha began to report a series of commands that had been executed.

After a few checks, the heavy punch and the ghost finally entered the canyon, but the car could not drive in, there is a parking lot managed by the local armed forces at the mouth of the valley, and it also charges expensive parking fees, and you can park at will for a one-time payment of 50 US dollars, there is no time limit.

The two of them walked into the canyon, and it was indeed a different scene, on both sides were all stalls selling all kinds of weapons, it could really be called long guns and short guns, and the AKs they carried were simply garbage compared to the weapons they were selling.

"In order not to be dazzling, I also deliberately got two broken guns, it seems that I was too worried." The ghost whispered.

"Then let's change something good." Punch from stall to stall like a market.

"I see you, my vision is clear, and I can't see anything further in, I can only rely on yourself." Through Barrett's scope, the worm quickly found ghosts and punches in the crowd.

"Roger, voice clear, over." Heavy Punch was squatting in front of a stall and listening to his boss introduce him to an AK12 in his hand, a new 5.45 caliber assault rifle he had used and was familiar with, and after some haggling, he actually bought two.

"Replace your thing." Punch handed a gun to the ghost, "This does have a lot of good stuff. ”

"Brother, we're here to find someone." Seeing the rise of the heavy fist, the ghost had to remind him of the purpose of the trip.

"Of course I know, but I haven't found it yet, it's better to see what this place is like, at least familiarize yourself with the situation, Alpha has already scanned the entire canyon, we also have to familiarize ourselves, it's more credible to see it ourselves." Heavy Punch said as he walked to a flatbread stand and bought some beef and a few flatbreads, this place is really interesting, and this kind of small business people will also come.

"The facial recognition system didn't find the target." Alpha reported.

"It's still early, and it's probably not here yet." Heavy Punch didn't think it was strange, and as he was strolling around, he saw something on the cart behind a stall, "Fuck, I even have this thing." ”

"The Gazelle helicopter gunship, the pre-1991 model, the Iraqi Army Aviation standard paint, has a service period of more than 30 years, and the performance is worrying." Alpha immediately analyzed the data obtained and made a report.

"It's really ...... to sell this old antique," the ghost shook his head, it was a question of whether this thing could fly.

"There's also THAAD anti-aircraft missiles over there...... "Heavy Punch said as he bit his lip and mouthpiece.

"Rt3 armored car, TA anti-tank rocket launcher, Feiteng anti-aircraft missile, 103 mortar aimed with IPAD, and the night vision device of the US military......" The ghost was shocked with a dazzling array of "goods", he didn't expect that the trading content here is so varied, if it weren't for the fact that the layout here is too simple, he even has a feeling of walking into an international defense exhibition, the piles of small arms boxes are piled up like a hill, and the seller is like an aunt in the vegetable field loudly introducing his goods.

"There are still a few holes in there." Heavy Punch found that there were indeed several small caves in the depths of the inner side of the canyon, and there were strong men with guns guarding outside, and there were people going in and out inside.

"I just inquired, the public arms trade is outside, and inside is a place to talk about big business, which is equivalent to a VIP private room, for the big bosses, and the rental fee starts at $1,000." The ghost said.

"It's still fucking a VIP ......" The heavy punch couldn't help but be dumbfounded, it was really interesting that this kind of place could do so many tricks.

"Unknown surveillance signals and satellite data communications similar to mine were detected." Alpha.

"Could it be other than us? Anyone else interested in this? The ghost shook his head, in fact, this is normal, there are many people who pay attention to these behind-the-scenes black market transactions, it may be the security agencies of some countries, or it may be the US military, after all, many of the weapons traded in this place are used against them, and many of the people who come here to buy weapons and equipment are terrorists, and those hostile countries will of course pay attention to the purpose and source of these people's weapons, and it is reasonable to monitor here.

"Can you find the source of the signal?" Punch asked!

"Unidentified flying equipment was found at the top of the canyon." Alpha reports, "And the drones we use are in the same category of equipment. ”

"Find out, who are they and what is their purpose?" Punch music felt a little wrong.

"Bruce asked for a call, and he was in a hurry." Alpha Report.

"Take it in." Heavy punch said as he ate.

The next second, Bruce's very eager voice broke in: "You guys listen to me, immediately thoroughly, that's a trap, hurry up." ”
