Chapter 614: A Big Trouble (Part II)
In Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, there is a saying that living here, where the day is pain and the night is torture, this is the purgatory on earth in reality. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
As exaggerated as it may sound, spending 24 hours in a slum is guaranteed to create a strong sense of identity in no time.
You must know that since the deterioration of the domestic economy, the government has mobilized 200,000 troops and police to prevent large-scale riots, but even so, violent crime has only increased in the past 17 years, and prisons have been full all year round, and many criminals will not be punished at all and will be released back on the streets.
Coupled with the shortage of daily necessities and high inflation, many poor people have to form or join gangs to engage in illegal activities to obtain subsistence rations.
Many empty and unfinished buildings have now been occupied by the destitute and destitute as their shelters.
If the U.S. is so bad that it's best not to go out after dark, then Venezuela is so bad that even if you hide in your home, you can get a mob breaking in.
Not only did they rob property, but they also raped, kidnapped, killed and abandoned corpses, and there was no bottom line at all.
What's even more terrifying is that among these rioters, you can even see the police and the military.
As the law and order situation is getting worse and worse, the government has now completely abandoned the maintenance of law and order in the slums in the mountains, allowing evil forces to thrive and develop inside, and only protecting the safety of the urban center.
There is no doubt that Thomas Adrian is such a rising gang leader.
With his sinister and cunning mind and ruthless style, he eliminated all the competitors around him in just a few years, and became the uncrowned king and de facto controller of the entire mountain, ruling over more than 100,000 destitute and destitute people.
In this huge underground kingdom, he operates a series of illegal businesses such as gambling, drug trafficking, smuggling, **, kidnapping, robbery, theft, etc., and even the army and police must greet them in advance, otherwise the whole family will die the next day.
Of course, as a smart man, he didn't just threaten with violence, but also took the initiative to bribe the top brass of the army and police, so that whatever happened inside the slums, the military and police stationed outside would turn a blind eye.
Standing on the second floor of the sturdy concrete bunker, Thomas condescendingly looked down at the night scene outside, and after a long while, he smiled and said to the girl who was trembling behind him: "Mariana, dear Mariana, do you think that man will choose to come to meet me, or will he choose to leave you alone?"
"I don't know, but you promised me! As long as I do what you say, I'll let Benita go. She's still a child, you can't sell her to Antonio!" Mariana shouted out breathlessly.
"Hehe, kid? No, no, no, I don't think a guy who sneaks a message to you is a child. In the slums, you can shoot and kill people at the age of nine, let alone twelve. Also, according to the rules I have set, if you make a mistake, you will be punished. Unless I get what I want, Benita's organs will be plucked and sold one by one. With that, a cruel smile appeared on Thomas's face.
For people like him, conscience, morality, humanity and the like have long been fed to dogs, and all that remains in their hearts is the thirst for power and wealth.
When Mariana heard this, she instantly closed her eyes in despair. She couldn't believe that a small misunderstanding at the beginning would become so tricky, and she couldn't explain that once the other party got to the truth, not only would she be worse than dead, but even the girl who helped her would be treated inhumanely.
Just when she didn't know where to go, a loud bang suddenly came from the silent slum.
Rumble!
I saw a sky-high fire not far ahead, and a modified armed pickup truck soared into the air, and was blown into the sky along with the people above.
Judging from the raging flames coming out of the inside of the pickup truck, it is clear that 100% of the people in the car will not survive.
Thomas stared at the scene in front of him in amazement, and it took him a long time to react, and he cursed angrily, "Damn! Pierce! Take someone to see what's going on over there, why did my car explode?"
"Understood, boss, I'll be right away!" replied a man with tattoos on his back, and immediately rushed towards the place where the outbreak had occurred with eight armed men.
However, no one noticed that in a shack fifty meters away, there was a lurker holding a night vision device, watching everything, and only after they were far away did he whisper into the headset microphone: "Troll, troll, I'm the Grim Reaper, and eight people are heading towards the first explosion point." ”
"Roger, keep your eyes open, and I'm going to present the most magnificent fireworks of the evening!"
With the rhythmic response from the headphones, the residents within a few hundred meters of the slum suddenly felt the sky illuminated by orange firelight, followed by a deafening sound and a violent shaking of the ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Lots of cars and buildings were blown to pieces, and each explosion site was a gathering place for Thomas's minions.
It can be said that this series of explosions, which directly killed one-fifth of his manpower, is simply a naked declaration of war.
"! Who? Who's targeting me? Otto? No, no, he doesn't have the guts. Could it be Raphael?" Thomas clenched his fists and said to himself as if mad.
At this moment, even if he is an idiot, he realizes that this is definitely a long-planned attack, and the only thing he is not sure about is who the other party is.
A middle-aged man with a big beard took two steps forward and asked in a low voice, "Boss, what should we do now?"
Thomas hesitated for a moment, and quickly replied, "Send thirty men to test how many enemies there are, and if there are too many of them, we will defend the fortress, and if there are too many of them, we will kill them all." Remember, if you notice any signs of police or military involvement, come and notify me immediately. ”
"Understood!" the middle-aged man nodded, and after about a few minutes, a well-equipped team rushed out of the gate in an armed pickup truck, heading towards several places where explosions had occurred.
The lurker quickly counted the number of people in each car, and immediately reminded through the headset microphone: "She-wolf, she-wolf, I am the Grim Reaper, and there are three cars headed for your location." As for the other five, they are heading in the direction of you, boss. Please note that they have a PKM machine gun on their car, so be careful. ”
Don't worry, we've planted two mines in advance to make sure we can blow them all up into the sky. ”
"Hehe, I don't need to worry about it here, I can solve this rabble in a few minutes at most......"
