Embers Ad Infinitum

The gray-green Jeep and dark black SUV followed Sleeping Cat to a container yard.

Jiang Baimian and others did not dare to move forward because the vehicles were huge and there was nothing that could block them on the way from here to Pier 1. The street lights at the port were relatively intact and the night was not that deep.

This results in people at Pier 1 being able to easily see approaching vehicles if there are people there.

Sleeping Cat turned back and glanced at Shang Jianyao and others. Without stopping, he passed between the stacks of containers, walking in various shadows, and still headed for Pier 1.

"Observe it." Jiang Baimian tried his best to suppress his voice and said to Shang Jianyao and the others.

She took out a telescope from her tactical backpack, pushed the door open and got out of the car, found a good seat, and looked towards Pier 1.

Long Yuehong and Han Wanghuo also did similar things.

As for Gnawa, he did not use a telescope, he integrated this function himself.

At this time, the street lights at Pier 1 were no different from those in the surrounding area, but there were many wooden boxes piled underneath and a lot of humans scattered around.

The Red River outside the dock is wide and dark, as if it could swallow up all the ships on this moonless and starless night.

In the darkness, a ship sailed out and approached Pier 1 extremely quietly. Only the sound of water and the running of the engine could be faintly heard.

Under the guidance of the navigation light, the ship stopped at Pier 1 and opened the door to the "belly".

At the gate, the Banqiao extends and a road is paved for vehicles to drive on. Those waiting at the dock drive minivans, go directly into the ship to move goods, or use forklifts, cranes and other tools to get busy.

All this was going on in near-silence, with no noise or dialogue.

"Smuggling..." Jiang Baimian, who was holding a telescope, nodded with understanding.

After moving the cargo on the ship, those people began to send the wooden boxes originally stacked at the dock into the belly of the ship.

At this time, Sleeping Cat approached from the side. Due to its small size, agile movements, and silent walking, it easily avoided the sight of most humans and came to the ship.

Suddenly, a human guarding the door of the ship closed his eyes, his head fell, and his whole body swayed, as if he fell directly into sleep.

Seizing this opportunity, Sleeping Cat dodged, jumped into the belly of the ship, and hid behind a pile of wooden boxes.

The "sleeping" person suddenly woke up as his body sank, rubbed his eyes in fear, and yawned.

This is how sleeping cats can enter and exit the First City without being discovered by official personnel... Relying on smuggling boats... This should be closely related to the First City army patrolling the Red River... Long Yuehong saw this scene and probably understood what was going on. One thing.

"How do we drive the car into the boat? With so many people here, once a conflict breaks out, even if it is small and resolved in less than a minute, it will attract enough attention." Han Wanghuo put down the telescope in his hand, his expression He asked Jiang Baimian solemnly.

He believes that Xue Shiyue's team is capable enough to deal with these smugglers, but what is needed now is not to deal with them, but to solve them silently and without causing any disturbance.

This is very difficult, after all, there are so many people on the opposite side.

Jiang Baimian did not answer immediately. He looked around and observed the environment.

Her eyes quickly fell on a streetlight at Pier One.

There is a radio set up there, which is usually used to report the situation and direct loading and unloading.

This is the basic configuration of a port.

Before Jiang Baimian spoke, Shang Jianyao smiled and said:

“Ask them to listen to the song, and if it doesn’t work, listen to it again.”

Do you want everyone on the dock to go to the toilet? There is the Red River outside, they can just solve it on the spot... Long Yuehong couldn't help but curse.

Of course he knew that Shang Jianyao would never make such a flawed suggestion, but this guy liked singing more than radio.

Jiang Baimian then looked at Gnawa:

"Lao Ge, hack into the system and take over those speakers."

"Okay." Gnawa immediately ran to the nearest streetlight with a broadcast.

Han Wanghuo and Zeng Duo were confused. They didn't understand what Xue Shiyue's team wanted to do and how to achieve their goals.

Listening to music? Broadcast? What does this do? Both of them have relatively calm personalities. They didn't ask, just observed.

Not long after, Gnawa controlled several speakers at Pier 1, while Shang Jianyao walked next to him, took out a portable radio recorder, and connected it to a certain line.

Jiang Baimian withdrew his gaze and smiled at Han Wanghuo and Zeng Duo:

"You have to plug your ears next."

…………

At Pier 1, Gordon and others were busy completing the first business of the night.

Suddenly, they heard the sound of electricity coming from several speakers on nearby street lamps.

Gordon, who was responsible for the central command, cast his gaze over, confused and wary.

The unprecedented encounter made it impossible for him to speculate on what changes would follow.

He preferred to believe that this was a malfunction of the port's broadcast system—perhaps a thief entered the command room and caused a series of accidents due to a lack of corresponding knowledge.

Expectations were expectations, and Gordon did not let his guard down. He immediately asked several of his subordinates to urge the others to work as quickly as possible, transfer some supplies from the dock immediately, and prepare for an attack.

The next second, in the quiet night, the radio sounded:

“So, we must remember that when faced with things we don’t understand, we must humbly ask for advice, let go of the prejudices brought by experience, and do not be full of resistance at the beginning. We must adopt an open-minded attitude to learn and understand. , to master, to accept..."

The slightly magnetic man's voice echoed in the area and reached the ears of every smuggler.

As soon as the sound sounded, Gordon and others entered their expected positions, waiting for the enemy to appear.

But there was no subsequent attack, and even the male voice on the radio calmed down after repeating the same words twice.

Everything is so quiet.

Gordon and others looked at each other, and they were all confused.

If there weren't still so many unprocessed goods, they would definitely evacuate the dock area immediately and stay away from this weird thing.

But now, wealth has emboldened them.

"Go on! Hurry up!" Gordon left the hiding place and urged his men.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two cars approaching one after the other.

One is a gray-green Jeep, and the other is a dark black off-road vehicle.

Han Wanghuo and Zeng Duo in the cross-country were very nervous. They felt that going straight to Pier 1 without doing anything or preparing was like children playing house.

They have no confidence at all and are seriously insecure.

The bearded Gordon was about to raise his submachine gun and call his men to deal with the enemy attack. Someone on the gray-green jeep held a loudspeaker and shouted:

"are friends!"

Yes, they are friends... Gordon believed this.

His men believed it too.

The two cars drove into Pier 1 one after another. Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others behaved very friendly and all put away their weapons.

"Did the transaction go well today?" Shang Jianyao stuck his head out of the car window and asked familiarly.

Gordon breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"good."

Since they are friends, the alarm can be lifted.

Shang Jianyao pointed to the ship at the dock again:

"Didn't you say you would take us across the river?"

"Haha, I almost forgot." Gordon pointed to the door at the belly of the ship, "Go in."

He and his men believed Shang Jianyao's words without any doubt.

The two cars drove into the belly of the ship one after the other. There were already many wooden boxes piled here, but there was still enough space.

The progress of the matter made Han Wanghuo and Zeng Duo's eyes widen.

They have all seen the abilities of the Awakened, but they have never seen anything so outrageous, so exaggerated, so terrifying!

If they hadn't followed them all the way, they would have thought that Xue Shiyue's team and these smugglers had known each other for a long time and had even cooperated. They would have received assistance with a little briefing on the situation.

"Just played a broadcast, and everyone who heard the content chose to help us?" Han Wanghuo finally stabilized his mentality and stopped the vehicle from deviating from the route, stopping near the ship's belly.

In his opinion, this has gone beyond the category of "superpowers" and is close to some myths left over from the old world.

At this moment, the two once again raised their judgment on the strength of Xue Shiyue's team.

Han Wanghuo felt that compared to the Red Stone Collection, the opponent was obviously much, much stronger.

After a while, the cargo transportation was completed, the plank bridge at the belly of the ship was retracted, and the door was closed.

With the sound of machinery running, the ship left Pier 1 and headed for the other side of the Red River.

On the way, it encountered the patrolling "Prime City" water guard.

The ship was not stopped there, but when the two sides "passed by", they sent someone to shout:

"The transactions in the past few days will be postponed if they can be postponed. The situation is a bit tense now. The higher-ups may send people over at any time to inspect and supervise!"

The ship's owner replied "no problem".

As time passed, a hidden dock semi-surrounded by hills and hills appeared diagonally in front of the ship heading upstream.

There were multiple torches burning here, mixed with some electric lights, lighting up the surrounding area.

At this time, there were multiple vehicles and a large number of people waiting at the pier.

The ship sailed over and docked at the predetermined location.

The door at the belly of the ship opened again, and the bridge was built out.

The ship owner on the deck and the smuggler leader on the dock were quietly relieved when they saw this.

Just then, they heard a "buzz" sound.

Immediately afterwards, a gray-green Jeep and a dark black SUV rushed out of the belly of the ship at flying speed and drove to the shore.

They didn't stop or slow down, they just smashed through obstacles one after another and ran madly towards the roads between hills and hills.

Bang bang bang, da da da!

It took several seconds before the smugglers thought of shooting, but the two cars had already pulled away.

Before the gunfire subsided, they left only a silhouette behind and disappeared into the depths of darkness.
