Volume 1: "The Thief" 025.
In the abandoned factory in Birmington, Chen Xi did not stay long. After setting up the things that had been set up before, he took the pre-stop speedboat and drove along the estuary to the Queen's Quay area of Port Elizabeth.
At this point, the power of the hurricane has been extended to its maximum.
The wind howled at the surface of the water, and the raging wind reached force 14. The speed per second is more than 41 meters, and if a person stands on a speedboat, he can be blown into the water if he does not hold on to something. The huge waves surging from the estuary poured into the canal, and a raging wave seven or eight meters high rose on the surface of the freshwater river, constantly hitting the speedboat, and Chen Xi needed to do his best to control the speedboat to maintain the correct direction.
That's not all there is to say here, let alone the docks that have to deal with the strongest winds.
But at this moment, instead of being cowardly and afraid when he was about to face the terrifying natural disaster, Chen Xi had a boiling sense of excitement in his heart, thinking of the previous extremely wise plan, as well as the finishing actions that would be launched in the future, he shouted excitedly in the cockpit.
"I'm the king of the world."
Well, he made two mistakes, and he didn't know how to divide the occasion when he pretended to be forced, and when he opened his mouth at this time, he choked on the bitter sea water that could not be split his head and cover his face.
But to be honest, being able to hit a hurricane while carrying out the operation was not only beyond his original plan, but also expected.
The number of hurricanes generated in the North Atlantic every year ranges from more than 10 to more than 20 times, and summer and autumn are the most frequent seasons for them, with an average of two hurricanes hitting cities on the east coast every month.
If it weren't for the help of the hurricane, he wouldn't have been as lavish as he is today.
This is to talk about the truth pursued by Chen Xi: the plan must always change with the change of the environment.
His original setting was just to take advantage of the chaos of the city's evacuation, attack a small part of the convoy of funds from the transportation bank, grab a few billion and leave. But now, the collection of one-tenth of the wealth of the entire Newsland City, as many as hundreds of billions of liquid assets are gathered in the Queen's Wharf, and the hostile force has been divided into several shares under his repeated design, resulting in a great reduction in the number of people who can be called up urgently, with such a God-given opportunity, Chen Xi will certainly not let go.
The preparations were already in place when he received the reparations mediated privately by the two major institutions (foreshadowing the beginning of Chapter 15).
With the normal reason of entrusting trust and financial management, Chen Xi went to major banks and chose internal responses that were easy to control. When the major banks were notified of the evacuation in advance, he immediately received the specific evacuation plan that should be provided, and arranged for people to mix in to the final destination - Queen's Wharf.
Many people may think that such a complex foreshadowing and design will be very troublesome to plan, but Chen Xi has no way to do it like this. He also thought about being like a certain Zheng, no matter how difficult the situation was, just explode all the way through, but unfortunately, the state machine he had to deal with would not really be as he had mocked before, the IQ level was too low, and he would only guard the powerful force every time, but only send some little guys to send them to death.
The most terrifying thing about modern warfare is that more and more advanced weapons can effectively kill personnel and accurately cover the attack.
A BULLET FIRED BY A 20MM LOW-CALIBER AIRCRAFT GUN IS ALREADY VERY TERRIFYING IN TERMS OF KINETIC ENERGY AND DESTRUCTIVE POWER. Even if an elephant is hit, the bullet can instantly produce a penetration hole larger than a basketball inside it, and replace it with a human body, which is the direct consequence of exploding in two. And the minimum rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute, even if the physique is strengthened to more than 50 points, it is not comparable to the hardness of steel, and the result is easy to imagine.
This is still a normal-class weapon. Like rockets, missiles, special guns and other medium-level weapons, the killing range is at least ten meters or more, don't watch the ones staged on TV and movies, the protagonist is still safe and sound after the close-quarters explosion, it is purely an immortal aura possession.
The minimum charge of modern missiles and rockets is more than five kilograms, and their specific power can be judged by comparison. For example, a high-explosive artillery shell (76 mm) with a kilogram charge can directly turn a small two-story house into rubble in real life, so it can be seen that it can survive the close explosion of the above-mentioned weapons, it is an inhuman existence. Before you're sure you're the main character, it's best not to imitate.
Especially in the vicinity of cities with the highest degree of real-time information control.
If it weren't for the help of such a strong hurricane, which restricted the other party from sending high-level war machines, and the previous bombings paralyzed the monitoring network all over the city, Chen Xi would have gotten anywhere, and he would have dared to provoke the power of a country. Sending a random fighter jet with a homing missile locked on it will solve his small life.
As for, grabbing 50 million can reach the upper limit of the task reward, the risk is greater than the action pay, do you think it will be useful to talk to a person with mental problems, who is a certain Chen, paranoia plus antisocial personality, the biggest trouble, the happier he is.
…………
By the time Chen Xi arrived at the Queen's Wharf after hardships, the wharf area was already in chaos under the raging wind and rain.
Outside the shoreline, small and medium-sized ships below 10,000 tons are all fixed together with iron chains and anchors to resist strong wind and waves, only large cargo ships of more than 50,000 tons can barely move in the port, and always pay attention to the pilot light indication on several directions, to avoid being affected by the wind and waves to hit there by mistake, after all, tens of thousands of tons of inertia, the impact force is not a trivial matter.
Within the shoreline, the port's hoisting devices have all been deactivated. No one can lift in this weather, and if you want to load goods, you can only rely on heavy forklifts on the ground to deliver them to the cargo ship's hold.
As for the personnel, they all wore heavy raincoats and double boots, and the chains between the windbreakers were hung with harnesses around their waists, and they struggled to move along the windbreakers.
He didn't have this equipment when he first arrived, but fortunately, before entering this plane, the electric bouncing shoes he exchanged for were full of weight, weighing three kilograms. After putting it on, it moved almost against the ground, and it took me more than 20 minutes to get from the beach to this side.
"I'll it, this is the first time I've really faced a hurricane at close range, in this environment, not to mention the deployment of drones, even if the helicopter is allowed to fly at low altitude, it can't deviate from the wind direction, otherwise it will be blown away, and it will be a loss to these people who dare to ask for money and not work on the dock."
Chen Xi sighed and rubbed his ears, because he had been shaken by the loud sound of the ubiquitous broadcast here.
The content played over and over again is almost turned up to the maximum, and it can still shock people through the heavy rain behind the scenes.
"Don't stop, don't stop, at this time, you must load those things on the ship within two hours, Zizi 500 times the salary is not casual, and two hours as a day to calculate Zizi, as long as you can load the goods on time, after completion, there will be a reward of 10,000 Eagle Yuan."
The content of it is paved with what Chen Xi has seen so far, and it has vividly shown the difficulties faced by the dock.
If it weren't for that, they wouldn't have been able to get in.
"Why did you come so late, didn't you contact you a long time ago?"
In the safe room by the access control, Thompson, the manager of the general dispatch room, looked at the documents handed by Chen Xi, and complained: "If it weren't for the lack of people now, I would never have asked for you to be so late."
The quota of personnel at this wharf was originally more than 300 people, but now only about 150 people have arrived at the post, and half of them have been urgently contacted from several other wharves and two other ports, and if it were not for such a high price, almost no one would have worked.
So for Chen Xi's late arrival, he certainly had complaints, but he didn't plan to really refuse.
Chen Xi saw this, so he didn't worry that he wouldn't be able to get in. I probably found a passable excuse and planned to fool the past.
"I just sent my wife and children on the boat, how can I rest assured that I didn't see them leave with my own eyes, so I arrived late"
He put away his fake papers and tried to change the subject.
"By the way, you didn't lie to me, today is really 500 times the salary, and it will be done in time, not only to send us away, but also to get a bonus?"
It's not just the employees of the docks, but also the heavily armed soldiers who are guarding the place. There are a few here in the access control, and he has been staring at him with vigilant eyes since he came over, thinking that Jin Mingyou's unlucky guy has already told others the ultimate purpose of the plan.
"Don't ask too much, you just have to do your job, I didn't see who was standing here, and I was transporting important objects, so I naturally wouldn't be less of you in terms of remuneration."
After Thompson wrenched his face and reprimanded a few words, he urged Chen Xi to hurry in: "What are you doing standing still, why don't you go get things and work quickly!" ”
