Chapter 881 - Destroying the power supply system
The stopwatch mode was adjusted, the total number of countdowns was set, and the time was reduced by second – eight minutes before the agreed rendezvous time.
Li Mu, who was standing in the dark, looked up at the high transformer line again. Unexpectedly, one side of this substation is a temporary station, and there is a bunker made of sandbags, in which several soldiers smoke and chat, and a machine gun mount is there against the substation.
It turns out that the direction of the substation to the north is outside the city, which is a point of defensive position.
Facts show that maps are unreliable, and satellite reconnaissance images are also inaccurate. The fact that Millers' inside line did not provide any information may indicate that the machine gun bunker was newly established.
The distance is only more than 20 meters, and there is a development site in the middle, as well as the street, Li Mu has no way to approach the substation in concealment.
Three minutes at most, and if you are late, it will be difficult to arrive at the meeting point on the side of the city hall building at the scheduled time to meet with others.
Li Mu was a little anxious, and the lights in the building seemed to be urging him - you must solve this problem as soon as possible.
Looking at the high-voltage lines that could be vaguely seen in the faint light, Li Mu once again looked at the surrounding environment and finally came up with a solution.
Several high-voltage lines above the support of the transformer station are messily intertwined, just above the transformer, about six or seven meters above the ground. It is a street away from a three-storey building on this side of the street.
Li Mu chose a shaded place, quickly walked through the street to the building, and walked lightly up the stairs. He paused suddenly, and there was a woman lying at the bend of the stairs, with coagulated blood on her chest, her lower pants torn and thrown aside, her eyes wide, but she was dead.
Death will not take more than an hour, and after a few more hours, the corpse will stench.
It was clear that he had been violently assaulted and then shot dead.
Li Mu took a slight breath, stepped over the corpse to the second floor, and found that the closed door was the room he wanted to enter. He pulled out his silencer-mounted pistol, aimed it at the door lock and fired a shot.
After a slight "pop" sound, the door lock was broken.
After pushing the door open, a voice came from the room inside. Li Mu dodged to the side and hid in the shadow of the corner. A man groped out of it, rubbing his hazy eyes, and reached out to turn on the light. Li Mu flashed out, and a hand knife slashed at the back of his head.
The man fell down softly, and Li Mu caught him and put him on a chair in the living room. A search of the only bedroom was conducted, only to be surprised to find a child sleeping on the bed.
He hesitated.
Maybe it was his mother who died on the stairs, and it was his father who was knocked unconscious by Li Mu.
Time was getting tighter and tighter, Li Mu gritted his teeth and sealed the child's mouth with the tape he carried. The child woke up and looked at Li Mu in horror. Li Mu tied his hands and feet.
Back in the living room, Li Mu tied the man to the chair.
When the next thing to do is discovered, the soldiers of the Crescent Brigade will definitely search for it. By restricting their freedom, they are actually protecting the father and son – because it proves that they did not destroy the transformer.
As for whether the soldiers of the Crescent Brigade would be angry and hurt the innocent, Li Mu had no way to be sure.
Li Mu took a fancy to the balcony of this one-bedroom and one-living room, so he naturally didn't have the heart to look at the furnishings in the house. After soaking for a while, Li Mu carefully twisted the soaked clothes slightly, and then came to the balcony.
After observing the machine gun bunker again, Li Mu's gaze fell on the chaotic intertwined wires on the top of the transformer.
After quickly measuring the distance, Li Mu gently threw the wet clothes in his hand over. The clothes fell apart as they flew past, and then landed on several high-voltage wires and landed on them.
As soon as the clothes touched the wires, the wires burst into flashing light, and then soon caught fire, and then the transformer crackled and exploded into sparks, and thick smoke soon came out. About two seconds later, there was a "boom", very neat, and the entire area was blacked out, and it fell into a thick black curtain.
When the soldiers in the machine gun bunker were looking around and became alert, Li Mu also found that the direction of the municipal building was in darkness.
Looking at the time, it was only a little more than four minutes before the rendezvous time.
Li Mu flashed downstairs and quickly walked in the direction of the municipal building in the dark.
Soon, the patrols of the Crescent Brigade were busy, and suddenly they fell into darkness, leaving everyone a little scrambling, and the sensitive soldiers thought that the government forces were coming again, the power plant was bombed, and the chaos was inevitable.
Undoubtedly, this situation is very suitable for sneaking in.
Over there, under the guidance of Millers, Li Fengxiang and the rest of the people had already moved to a place less than three hundred meters away from the municipal building, and they were able to reach the meeting point on time, and the municipal building was on the right side of the street.
Seeing that the area where the municipal building is located is plunged into the darkness of a power outage, everyone's spirits are high. The night can cover everything, and the darkness gives the warrior infinite confidence.
Arrive at the meeting point three minutes early.
This is a half-collapsed house carefully selected by Millers, and it is well located to hide and quickly retreat out of the city along the back streets. The point is, Millers is familiar with every street here.
In the municipal building, after the power went out, Winters, who was sitting at his desk looking through some related materials, immediately picked up the AK-74 assault rifle leaning against the wall with the muzzle facing up, and then quickly leaned against the wall at the door, reached out to pick up the microphone, dialed a number, and opened his mouth to ask, "What's the matter?"
There was some confusion on the other side of the phone, and he replied, "It's being checked, sir." ”
Winters is the captain of the Crescent Brigade's military instructor corps, and in his eyes, if the Crescent Brigade's soldiers are reliable, sows can climb trees.
He immediately took out the satellite phone from the drawer and called, "Bill, you go and see how the hostages are doing." I felt something was wrong. ”
The long hours of life on the battlefield made Winters's sense of smell unusually acute. Crescent City has not had a power outage, but this power outage is undoubtedly an emergency. In the past few power outages, all of them were notified in advance, and then diesel generator sets were activated to ensure the normal power supply of the municipal building.
More importantly, his intuition told him that something was going to happen tonight.
Bill was a subordinate of Winters, and they had a team of more than a dozen instructors who were responsible for providing military training and combat instruction to the Crescent Brigade. All of them are veterans with combat experience from various countries, and most of them are veterans of special forces.
Obviously, the Winters were mercenaries.
After receiving the notice, Bill immediately took two people to the room where Laura was being held to inspect and everything was normal. Immediately, he inspected the entire building, and then expanded to the surrounding area, and found nothing unusual.
Winters also made several phone calls, all of them wired within the Crescent Brigade, asking about various situations. The feedback report is that everything is fine.
After ordering Bill to be more vigilant, Winters stayed in his room and waited for the investigation of the power outage, and he could not rest assured until there was no news.
At this moment, the tactical saber commandos were already approaching the municipal building.
Note: In the next chapter, the Tactical Saber Commandos will face off against the Winters Instructors......
