Chapter 556: Opponent
"Where are your people now?"
Jereman leaned into the jeep, looked at the map on the engine cover, and asked Marston, who was walking by.
"Well, there's no latest return yet."
Marston looked at Jeriman in embarrassment, now the walkie-talkie is not used, all orders must be transmitted by the signal soldiers, and it is impossible to keep track of the movement of the troops at any time.
He had just arranged for someone to go down, and the latest situation had not yet been reported.
Jeriman didn't blame him for this, just nodded, turned his gaze to the map again, and said, "Wait for your people to come back, let them go to these places, if Garcia is really hiding in the sewers, it is likely to be in these places." β
Marston looked at the locations carefully, wrote them down carefully, and only waited for the signal soldier to return and let him convey them, but he still asked with confusion: "Mr. Jeriman, will Garcia really hide down there?" β
Because he had never searched the city's drainage system, Marston chose to believe it when he heard Norman's speculation, but on the way to search for Garcia in the sewers while ordering his men to search for the hidden dragon, Marston felt that it was a little impossible.
If Garcia really hid underneath and could have returned to the place controlled by government forces through the sewers, why would he have waited until now?
"From what we know about the Hidden Dragons, they are used to carefully calculating every move, and they were ready to enter the sewers before we even attacked, indicating that there is definitely a place worth going to." Jereman said leisurely.
I have to say that the person who knows you best is your enemy, and Blackwater has indeed understood the hidden dragon in his bones.
"Maybe they just want to get away." Marston said.
"Escape?"
Jereman looked at Marston and laughed twice, but didn't say anything.
From Jereman's contemptuous eyes, Marston could read the meaning of his laughterβjust because you too deserve to let the dragon escape? didn't say it, just to save some face for him.
Obviously, not all Blackwater members will save face for Marston, Norman didn't care about him at all, and said with a sneer: "Do you really think that you can force back the hidden dragon with just a few rotten garlic of yours?" If your troops can really defeat the Hidden Dragons, then there will be no one in Aralabi who will be able to stop you, and you can do whatever you want. β
"That's right, you don't need to go to Palato, you can be president directly."
"No, he can't be president, because Parardo knows that Garcia has such an army, and he will be so frightened that he doesn't dare to oppose it......"
Although the positions are different, in the eyes of Blackwater, even if the Qianlong is weaker than his own, it is still a force of the same level as them, if it is easily defeated by Marston, a force that is not even a third-rate, what is Blackwater?
The Blackwater players said a word to me, and Marston's old face turned red. He wanted to refute it very much, but after chasing the hidden dragon for a long time, not only did he fail to catch it, but he let himself lose his troops, what could he say to refute it?
Jeliman coughed heavily before the Blackwaters' ridicule stopped, he patted Marston on the shoulder and said, "Colonel, they don't mean anything, they just like to joke, you won't be angry, will you?" β
"Yes, yes."
Marston could only smile dryly and said, "I don't have any suspicions about the movement of the hidden dragon, but if Garcia is really hiding underneath, it can be completely passed."
How can you wait until now when you cross the sewers and go back to the place controlled by the government forces? β
"You're right, but whether he dares to go back is another question. Don't forget, even you, the capital garrison, have already taken refuge in Palador, does he have anyone else to trust? Jereman asked rhetorically.
"Uh, this ......"
The garrison of the capital was the most loyal to Garcia, and their mutiny would indeed make Garcia feel desperate and dare not trust the others easily.
However, the battle between the two factions continued, and even if he was hiding in the sewers, he could hear the gunshots of the fighting, and Garcia would not dare to move in the sewers no matter how desperate he was.
Unless, Garcia is dead!
Marston voiced his doubts, in exchange for Jerryman's laughter.
"You've turned the ground upside down, and you haven't found him, so the sewers are the most likely place for him to hide, and as for whether he is dead or alive, or what he has to think about, those are not our concerns, there is only one thing we have to do - find him!" Jereman said.
Marston smiled dumbly.
Indeed, he is not a psychologist, and what Garcia thinks in his heart has nothing to do with him, even if he really wants to know, just find him out.
"And most importantly, even if you don't know where these sewers lead, Your Excellency President Garcia will?" Jereman asked with a smile.
In a word, Marston suddenly realized.
Garcia is the president of a country, how can he care about such a small matter as the city's drainage system, rather than lose his way, it is better to honestly find a place to hide and wait for rescue.
Marston once again felt his stupidity, and in order to ease the embarrassment, he asked again, "So, what about the hidden dragon?" If we catch Garcia, do we want to continue chasing them? β
"Of course," a fierce glint flashed in Jeriman's eyes, "my people can't be injured in vain, even if they are doomed to no longer complete their mission, they will all die here!" β
The thick murderous aura emanating from Jeriman's body made Marston's heart tremble, and he involuntarily took two steps back, as if this would make him feel more comfortable.
"They're all demon kings who kill people without blinking."
Marston muttered to himself, but he was also glad that the Jeryman team had arrived in time, otherwise his troops would have lost no idea how many more wounds they would have suffered.
As they spoke, a jeep approached from a distance and stopped in front of them, with a soldier jumping out of it.
He had just raised his hand to salute Marston when he was interrupted by the latter's outstretched hand and asked, "Where are the teams marching now?" β
"That's it." Jereman reached out and tapped the map.
"Yes!"
The soldier insisted on finishing the military salute, came to the front of the map, and said as he pointed: "The first and second platoons are at the intersection of Chavez Avenue and the 17th Main Road, and the third platoon is in ......."
Jereman marked it as he listened, and when he finished, he asked, "The pursuing team is walking very slowly, have they found any new mines?" β
"There are no new discoveries, because everyone is guarding against underwater mines, so they are very careful, so they go slowly." The communications soldier replied, adding secretly in his heart: "I have never been careful." β
It was no exaggeration to say that he had seen with his own eyes how the soldiers chasing the Hidden Dragons walked in the sewers.
In order not to step on the mines, they did not dare to step on the sewage at all, but stepped on both sides of the sewer with their legs crossed, and it was also a shame that Dia's sewer was not wide, otherwise it would be difficult to move an inch.
In this way, the speed must be a lot slower, but for the sake of life, it is worth it to be slower.
Seeing their cautious appearance, the communications soldier realized how reckless he was when he came in, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly withdrew from the sewer like the others.
Jeriman didn't dig deeper, he glanced at the map twice, and was about to say something, when suddenly a violent explosion came from the sewers, and he was all shut down.
There is no doubt that someone has stepped on a mine again, but Jereman and other Blackwater team members did not have much reaction, with the level of Marston's department, it is not normal not to step on the mine of the hidden dragon.
However, the communication soldier was so frightened that his face turned pale and he was terrified.
They were all so careful, they still stepped on a mine, and they just walked all the way out and came back alive, which is simply a blessing.
Marston's face was also unsightly, as his soldiers once again verified Norman's words with incompetence.
Jeriman patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged, Colonel. Although some people have died because of this, all the sacrifices are worth it, and we also know the whereabouts of the hidden dragon. β
"Really?" Marston's eyes lit up.
"Of course, if I'm not mistaken, they should be here!"
Jereman dropped his finger heavily on the map, and Marston looked closely, it was a mall, and there was no doubt in his mind.
Marston is too familiar with this mall, with seven floors above ground and three floors underground, which can be said to be able to defend and walk.
If you want to fight, the seven floors above ground are the best places for street fighting guerrillas; If you want to defend, the three underground floors are civil air defense fortifications with the ability to prevent nuclear warfare; If you want to walk, the basement level connected to the city's drainage system, the second basement level connected to the subway, and the streets that extend in all directions above ground can all provide escape routes.
It's simply a fabulous location!
If it weren't for the fact that he had searched the top and bottom ten floors of the mall, Marston would have suspected that Garcia was hiding inside.
However, even now, he was a little suspicious, maybe Garcia had quietly transferred over and joined the hidden dragon.
He said this speculation, but Jeriman shook his head and said: "It's basically impossible, if this is really the place where Garcia and the Hidden Dragon connect, the Hidden Dragon will not waste so much time dealing with you, and it will be here a long time ago." In fact, this is just a temporary base for them, and it won't be long before they leave. β
"Why is that?" Marston asked, puzzled, that these blocks were too hard to find in such a great place.
"Then you need to ask? Because they have wounded, of course. Norman rightly looked at Marston as if he were caring for the mentally retarded.
Marston's old face was red again, he hadn't figured out such a simple question, and he really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.
"Colonel, now please gather all your ground forces and fence me here."
Jereman's words freed Marston from his embarrassment, but the next words made him feel even more embarrassed: "Don't worry, you don't need your soldiers to fight, they are not the opponents of the hidden dragon, just leave it to us to solve it, all you have to do is - guard the door." β
