As soon as Gu Ji's words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became a little stiff.

After a short exchange, he learned that the other party's name was Riddle, from the United States, and he worked as an electronic hardware engineer in a technology company.

Betty also turned her head to look at Riddle, and she could see that the other party was completely a "sub-health" sitting in the office.

Because anyone who knows a little about running knows how to use the support reaction force and inertia in the foot movement to keep the body stable, so as to save physical strength, especially the grasp of breathing and rhythm.

But Riedel not only walks in a messy way, but also breathes with his mouth open and panting, which not only causes the oral water to lose too quickly, but also increases the risk of irritation of the patient's airway, causing bifurcation.

Riddle straightened up suddenly, looked directly into Gu Ji's eyes, and pursed his lips and smiled.

"Hehe, I don't lie and come out with you, do you stay where you are and wait to die?"

"Mr. Riddle, what do you mean by that!"

Betty heard the second half of the sentence, and her tone suddenly became cold and grim.

Riddle looked at her for a moment's notice.

"No, don't you really know? The terrorists kidnapped us to Mazatlan, only drug dealers would do that, and this is the nest of the Sinaloa drug cartel, and they also burned the communication microchips of all our equipment with microwave weapons, and before help came, everyone would be held hostage and killed by those cruel drug dealers! ”

"What!?"

Betty's face turned pale with fright, and she immediately turned her head to look at Gu Ji, "Mr. Yasen, is what he said true?" Does Mr. Bolton know about this? ”

"They must have known about it a long time ago, otherwise they wouldn't have carried a gun with them."

Riddle pursed his lips and motioned for her to look at the quick-draw holster on Gu Ji's waist.

To be honest, Gu Ji was not surprised that this guy could analyze this, but he was a little curious why Riddle was so sure that the terrorists were using microwave weapons, was it because of his profession?

"Rest assured, I've asked Bolton to transfer passengers as soon as possible and hide."

"That's good, let's speed up, contact the airline as soon as possible, and when support arrives, we will be safe!"

Betty patted her big chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

But Riddle on the side couldn't help laughing.

"Hehehe, you can't be so naïve, right? Civil aviation law states that things on board an airplane are under the jurisdiction of the country of nationality, what capital do you think Panama would dare to compete with drug lords on Mexican territory? You are underestimating the Sinaloa Group, which is currently the largest drug cartel in the Americas, and the terrorists responsible for hijacking planes are only cannon fodder for them. ”

"The real Sinaloa members are well-armed paramilitary groups with light and heavy machine guns, rocket launchers, large-caliber sniper rifles, unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, and armored vehicles, and unless the Mexican authorities are willing to send elite troops, including the US Drug Enforcement Administration, to join forces in a joint operation, there is no play at all!"

Betty was dumbfounded.

Gu Ji also knew that Panama's military strength was relatively weak, occupying the 132nd place in the world, which belonged to the bottom existence.

In 1989, during the "Division of Justice" operation, the United States sent Delta special forces to raid Panama, but the Panamanian Defense Forces were quickly broken through without defense, and the country's president was captured in more than 10 days.

So, Riddle was right.

Leaving the Mexican authorities and the United States to the end is the only solution to this crisis.

But there were not many Mexican passengers on the plane, and the Sinaloa bloc was so strong that it was unclear whether the Mexican government would be willing to send troops to support it in a big way.

But......

Gu Ji turned his head, his eyes burning.

"You seem to know a lot about the Sinaloa Group!"

"I, aren't these all public information, just find two reports on the Internet!"

Riddle's eyes were a little evasive, and he looked hidden, "Oh, anyway, the farther we run now, the better, as long as we can avoid those drug dealers, we will be safe!" ”

"No, our first task is to get support!"

Betty refused, as a crew member, she has a responsibility and obligation to protect the passengers.

Gu Ji thought secretly in his heart.

An American electronics engineer who knows so much about the composition and weapons and equipment of Mexican drug dealers must have a problem, and it remains to be seen whether he is an accomplice of the man in sunglasses.

Don't look at him saying that he wants to stay out of danger, but in fact, he secretly guides them to the drug dealer's lair.

Gu Ji mentioned the location landmark of the river before, in fact, he wanted to see the reaction of Betty and Riddle.

"Let's go first, let's talk about it when we get to the river."

He interrupted the two of them with a wave of his hand.

The jungles of central Mexico are not particularly difficult to navigate, after all, the climate here is mainly highland, and if you are on the southern or eastern coast, it is a pure and untouched tropical rainforest.

"Squeak!"

"Stop!"

The three of them had just walked through a bush, Gu Ji's ears moved slightly, his left arm was swinging up and down at his side, and his right hand quickly pulled out the Glock pistol from his waist.

Seeing this scene, Riddle's face was overjoyed.

"Mr. Yasen, have you been in the Rapid Reaction Force?"

Gu Ji hid behind a tree and glared at him, holding the gun in both hands, the muzzle of the gun was aimed at the direction of support, and the index finger of his right hand was slightly pre-pressurized, and he instantly entered a state of readiness.

Betty also ducked to the side, holding her breath, nervously picking up a rock from the ground.

A few seconds passed.

The sound was getting closer and closer, and at the moment when the black shadow appeared, Gu Ji instantly moved the muzzle of the gun up.

Overhead!

When he looked closely, it turned out to be a long-nosed raccoon.

"Scared the hell out of me......"

Betty put down the stone in her hand with a sense of relief, and when she saw Gu Ji skillfully picking up the firearm, she remembered Riddle's previous words, so she asked, "Do you know how to use a gun?" ”

"I was a soldier."

"Great, so we're safer, it's up to you, Mr. Yasen, please lead us alive!"

Riddle made no secret of the joy on his face.

Gu Ji raised his eyebrows slightly.

Knowing how to use a gun does not mean that he has necessarily been a soldier, Brazil, like the United States, except for the capital region, other states and provinces are not prohibited from guns, and Riddle insisted that he had been to the rapid reaction force, which should be seen from his subconscious tactical gestures just now.

Ordinary military police don't use tactical gestures, and it seems that this guy has a lot of dealings with special forces.

Walking through the bushes, Gu Ji vaguely heard the sound of "bang".

It's the river!

Riddle excitedly pushed aside the bushes in front of him, and suddenly it became clear to him that a river nearly 100 meters wide was rushing down from north to south.

Thankfully, there was no crash landing on the water.

Otherwise, with the turbulence of the current, the aircraft can easily lose control and disintegrate.

"Hmm! Finally comfortable......"

Riddle had already drunk all the water, and ran to the river, washing his face with the cold water in his hands, and then plunged his head into it, and almost fell into the river.

Gu Ji did not leave the jungle in a hurry, but took out the private's binoculars and observed the upstream and downstream of the river.

It's really useless in normal times, but sometimes it's also a little useful.

After confirming that there was no danger, he walked to the bank of the river.

Betty filled a bottle of water and took a big sip.

"Well, do you see a cell tower or a person, which direction should we go?"

"Nope."

Gu Ji shook his head, "Let's go up, even if you can't find anyone, the nearest city is in the north, so you won't waste time." ”

Betty nodded in agreement.

Riddle was a little worried, what if he ran into a drug dealer?

"If there aren't many people, I'm responsible for killing them, grabbing the phone, and then contacting the airline."

"What if there are a lot of people?"

"Run!"

Gu Ji was too lazy to talk nonsense with Riddledo.

The trio traveled all the way north along the riverbank, which was much less labor-intensive than in the jungle, and the only thing they had to face was the scorching sun hanging overhead.

Fortunately, after three o'clock in the afternoon, the temperature was not so high.

At this point, Betty pointed to the edge of the jungle on the right side of the front.

"Mr. Yasen, do you think that's a road?"

"It seems to be true!"

Riddle poked his head out and saw the jungle about 100 meters ahead, with bare weeds and bushes that stretched deep into the jungle.

"Let's go, go over and have a look."

Gu Ji pulled out his pistol and left the shore to walk near the edge of the jungle, his eyes kept staring at the woods and grass at the intersection.

This is especially true of silhouettes and shadow locations, which tend to be the easiest places for enemies to camouflage and conceal.

Ever since he had obtained the military infiltration mark, the extra knowledge and ideas in his head had influenced his combat style, just like instinct.

"This used to be a dirt road for water, but it's abandoned."

Walking near the intersection, Gu Ji squatted down and pointed to the soil hidden under the sprouts of new grass, which was obviously formed by the repeated rolling of the wheels for a long time.

Hearing that there might be traces of vehicles and people, Betty and Riddle had almost diametrically opposite expressions.

Head east along the dirt road, where the road gets wider and wider.

Half an hour later, they saw a corner!

"Watch for secrecy!"

Gu Ji reminded the two of them, and he quickly hid in the woods next to him, picked up the binoculars, and looked ahead, "Betty, you are responsible for staring to the left, Riddle, you pay attention to the behind." ”

He quickly arranged a division of labor for the two.

Fortunately, the two were quite obedient.

After nearly a minute of observation, he could determine that there should be a mud house area ahead, and the reason why he used the word "district" was because he saw more than one wall, at least five or six houses.

"The front is the housing area, if you're lucky, we can contact the airline, if you're unlucky, it may be a drug dealer den, but I have a way to deal with them, but I need the cooperation of the two of you!"

Five earthen houses, even if it is counted as five people living in one household, it is only 25 people.

Gu Ji now has two weapons of large-area destruction in his hands, the [Poison Needle Trap] mine and the VX nerve agent bomb, and on the premise of preparation and ambush, it may not be impossible to succeed in the sneak attack.

"Okay, okay......"

Although Betty was very nervous, as a purser, she had also seen a lot of strong winds and waves, "Mr. Yasen, everything is under your command!" ”

"You don't need to be afraid, drug dealers can't come up and kill people directly, if you can't hide after discovering them, just surrender loudly, and then leave it all to me!"

What Gu Ji needs most now is to confirm the goal of the housing area.

What people;

how many people;

weapons, what is the level of tactics.

So he asked the two of them to cooperate with him to form a reconnaissance team to infiltrate, and first find out the details of the target.

Generally speaking, the front triangle formation or the rear triangle formation is mostly used when traveling in concealment, and the leader of the reconnaissance team mostly walks in the main direction, and the members of each group usually do not exceed 150 meters during the day and 50 meters at night according to the terrain, hearing, and eyesight to ensure mutual contact and mutual support.

But Gu Ji now only has a Glock 17-4 in his hand, with an effective range of 50 meters.

Combining shooting accuracy and concealment, he chose to let Betty and Riddle walk in front, and himself in the rear observation position, maintaining a 30-meter gap.

"Mr. Yasen, please don't abandon us!"

"Don't worry, I really want to leave you, I'll leave by myself a long time ago!"

Gu Ji finally reassured Riddle.

Immediately, the two of them walked left and right, in the jungle on both sides of the dirt road.

As the reconnaissance team approached, the layout and structure of the housing area became clearer and clearer, and the five earthen houses were arranged in a "Z" shape, with two in the front and one in the middle and two in the back.

Betty and Riddle didn't find anything yet, so he could only hold a telescope and carefully observe whether there were enemy vehicles and weapons hidden in front of the trees or in the backlight of the house.

When the sun is particularly strong, you need to pay special attention to the shades.

And often a car can tell the difference between civilians and criminals, especially in places like Mexico, where drug dealers' vehicles are generally modified.

As he walked, suddenly, Riddle squatted down.

Gu Ji and Betty, who saw this scene, also hidden, and the next second, Riddle found a tree trunk to hide behind, turned around and kept pointing to his right side.

Gu Ji picked up the binoculars and looked at it for a while, and sure enough, a black shadow flickered.

Since gaining the Heading and Penetration Mark, he is now very sensitive to distance and reconnaissance.

The commonly used distances of 100, 200, 400, and 800 are now engraved in his mind like instinct, and SWAT officers generally do not need to remember these, because the combat distance of the police is often within 100 meters.

Depending on the visibility and size of the target, judged by the naked eye:

50 meters can be seen like black dots;

100 meters can see the appearance of human faces, infantry, machine guns and other weapons and equipment;

The head and shoulders can be seen at 200 meters;

300~400 meters can be seen the color of clothing and infantry weapons;

At 700~800 meters, you can only see walking or running.

Gu Ji put down the binoculars, he only saw that the target was wearing a knitted hat, a white shirt and gray pants, dark brown skin, as for the weapon, it was not found, and it was about 500 meters away from him.

He removed the Poison Needle Trap mine from his bag and temporarily kicked it into his side pocket in case he needed it.

Then raise the arm sideways to shoulder height, palm down, downward continuous swing to the range of 30 degrees, which in the tactical gesture, means "slow down", but also to remind the other person not to stop.

Riddle could really understand the tactical moves.

He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, and finally continued to move forward according to Gu Ji's instructions.

After advancing another 100 meters, Gu Ji saw two gray-black creatures pulling a two-wheeled cart from the shadows, which were donkeys!

And the figure they found just now wearing a braided hat, carrying a sickle in his hand, was indeed dressed as a peasant.

Riddle breathed a sigh of relief.

Betty was overjoyed, thinking she was finally saved.

But Gu Ji still reminded the two of them to lie down and be cautious, maybe these people were just servants serving the drug dealers.

Luckily, no one found them until they reached the perimeter of the house.

Gu Ji looked at the hillside on the left, there was a large piece of farmland, and at the tip of the farmland, there was a very long metal pole, which should be a signal base station.

At the very least, it's safe to be sure that there's a cell phone signal here.

He waved to himself, signaling the team to move closer to him.

Betty hurried over.

"Mr. Yasen, is it safe?"

"Not yet, you follow me in a moment, walk along the wall, and listen to what is going on inside......"

Gu Ji clenched his pistol, hunched his knees, and quickly sprang out of the jungle, hiding in the backlit shadow of the wall, and then Betty and Riddle followed.

The three of them followed the wall to the door of the earthen house.

There happened to be someone talking in the yard.

He only studied a foreign language with Ding Lan for a month, Mexico, Guatemala, Panama City and other Central American countries basically speak Spanish, he can only roughly a dozen words, so he looked at Betty, "...... are they talking"

"It seems to be talking about too many weeds in the field, and there is still yield."

"Looks like it's an ordinary village."

Riddle also thinks it's safe.

Gu Ji narrowed his eyes, got up and knocked on the door.

There was a "dry pinch" from the courtyard, and before he could speak, Betty couldn't wait to shout excitedly, a series of Spanish babbles, which he couldn't understand at all.

Gu Ji raised his eyebrows.

"What did you say?"

"Just tell him that we are on an outdoor expedition, we are lost, our phone is out of battery, and we want to borrow a phone."

Betty is worthy of being a purser, but she is also experienced.

The door opened from the inside, revealing the same old Mexican man in a knitted hat they had spotted earlier, who warmly invited the three of them in.

After a while, a fat aunt in a pink robe came out of the room, carrying a black phone.

Betty thanked the two of them, and then, following her memory, quickly dialed a number.

Gu Ji didn't understand Spanish.

"You stay here to report the situation, so that the airlines must get the support of the Mexican government and the U.S. government, and it's best to send the DEA's FAST Overseas Deployment Advisory and Support Team over, the sooner the better!"

With a few words, Gu Ji left the yard and began to observe the other farmers along the dirt road.

FAST seems to have nothing to do with special forces, SWAT, etc., from the name, but don't be bluffed by the name, this unit is definitely one of the top violent departments in the US federal system, and they are basically trained by professional instructors responsible for training Navy SEALs and green berets, with the support of the US Department of Defense, and is one of the top special forces specializing in cross-border drug enforcement.

If the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration can send it over, the passengers will be at least half safe.

After Gu Ji walked to the last row of houses, he picked up his binoculars and glanced at the hillside, there seemed to be people working on the top of the mountain, but as he moved his gaze to the crops, he always felt that something was wrong.

He put down his binoculars, and subconsciously swept his afterglow to find a curly-haired aunt peeking at him in the back window of the earthen house.

Gu Ji turned his head suddenly, so frightened that the other party quickly dodged and disappeared.

Hiss......

Wrong!!
