Chapter 982:
"Hehe, Brother Chen is indeed formidable!" Feng Zhixiao noticed something amiss, the opponent left a two-minute gap during their defense exchange. This two minutes is enough for us to slip in, and if push comes to shove, we can just take out those five patrolling guys without anyone noticing.
Quickly, Jimmy led the others to join them, and everyone waited for the opponent’s ten-minute shift change. Soon, ten minutes passed, that team left first, and Ye Chen whispered, "Go quickly, get in immediately, don’t get spotted!"
Under Ye Chen’s direction, everyone moved swiftly, breaking through the line of defense in about a minute. Shortly after, another patrol team arrived at the post and continued to stand guard. This lone weak point was discovered by Ye Chen; one wonders if the person who set up this defense would regret enough to commit suicide if they found out?
Ye Che and the others broke through the defense and sprinted towards the port. Inside the port, large containers were piled everywhere, stacked like mountains, giving an intimidating feel much like stacked blocks. Feng Zhixiao looked up at the surrounding containers in fear and said, "Brother Chen, will these things fall down?"
"They won’t!" Ye Chen shook his head and said, "If they fall, I’ll eat it!"
Boom...
A loud noise sounded as a container indeed tilted and fell from above. Everyone was dumbfounded, and Ye Chen gulped and said, "Damn, it really fell? That’s too eerie!"
"Brother Chen, eat it then?" Feng Zhixiao chuckled.
"Damn, I meant chocolate, not a container!" Ye Chen pulled out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and tossed it into his mouth, chewing vigorously. Everyone was speechless. Helplessly, they continued to follow Ye Chen forward.
Soon, they reached a high ground where they could observe the port’s situation and the Church Guards’ patrols elsewhere. Ye Chen said, "Let’s hold here, wait for the cargo to arrive, and then act on the opportunity!"
"Yes!" everyone stopped immediately. Squatting on the high ground to observe, this so-called high ground was actually an unfinished building, and a few people sat on the platform, able to see several docks. However, from the Church Guards’ position, it seemed they were unloading at Dock No.2. Ye Chen held a binoculars, scrutinizing the scene.
"Brother Chen, let me do it; the brothers can take turns, it’s too tiring for one person!" Feng Zhixiao took the binoculars from Ye Chen’s hand.
"Hmm!" Ye Chen nodded and then said, "Watch carefully, don’t miss it. Otherwise, there’s no chance!"
"Okay!" Feng Zhixiao nodded.
Then, Feng Zhixiao lay down at the edge and continued watching. The situation on the dock was calm, as smooth as a windless sea. However, Feng Zhixiao quietly stared at the dock, not letting any movement escape his eyes.
Suddenly, two glimmers flashed across the dark sea, seemingly rhythmic, which immediately caught Feng Zhixiao’s attention. He whispered, "It’s coming, it’s coming!"
"Is it here?" Ye Chen was stunned, hurriedly lying down to watch the situation on the sea. Unexpectedly, a boat with blinking light signals approached, catching Ye Chen’s interest. He immediately asked, "Brothers, who understands light signals?"
"I’ll do it!" Da Xia stepped forward without hesitation. Having lived in Leisure City, which is an island, dealing with boats was common. Boats needed to use light signals or flag signals to communicate when approaching. In the daytime, the sea was clear and flags were visible, making it convenient to use flag signals. But at night, when it was pitch black and barely visible, even the other boat wasn’t discernible. So relying on flag signals was impractical, leaving light signals as the only option.
Da Xia watched the flashing lights diligently and mumbled softly, "They want to dock. Waiting for the signal from the other side!"
"Signal?" Ye Chen was puzzled, raising his head to see the people at the dock using signals to communicate with the incoming boat. Soon, Da Xia said, "Big Brother, they’ve matched the signal, and they’re about to dock!"
"Good. Wait for my command, then seize the opportunity!" Ye Chen instructed earnestly, "Remember, our action this time is to hit them, not eliminate them. Just destroy their weapons and ammo, ignore the rest!"
"Yes!" Everyone nodded in agreement.
Immediately, everyone descended from the high ground, taking advantage of the darkness, they stealthily rushed towards the direction of the dock. As they got closer to the target, the easier it was to expose the target. Ye Chen gradually drew nearer to the opponent’s dock, accompanied by over thirty people, sprinting wildly.
"Brother Chen!" Feng Zhixiao called out softly from behind: "There’s someone here!"
"Hmm?" Ye Chen was startled, turning his head to glance, he unexpectedly discovered a five-person patrol squad on-site intensely watching him. Ye Chen suddenly gasped, realizing he was too careless to have overlooked this patrol team. Ye Chen flashed an awkward smile and grinned at those Church Guards: "Hehe, brothers, hard work!"
Just as the others were about to speak, Ye Chen immediately flung two daggers from his arms at them, quickly piercing their throats in the blink of an eye. Da Xia and Feng Zhixiao, without a word, charged at the other four, catching them off guard and swiftly eliminating them. The commotion here did not attract anyone else’s attention. Ye Chen waved: "Clean up the scene, let’s move immediately!"
In less than two minutes, Ye Chen and the team had wiped out the five-person patrol squad. It ultimately came down to the Church Guards being overconfident, believing a five-member squad could handle Ye Chen and his group, so they didn’t call for help immediately, which led to their demise.
Ye Chen led everyone in a mad dash towards the dock. They didn’t have much time to waste; encountering any unforeseen circumstances midway could lead to mission failure. If this mission failed, dealing with the Church Court would become even more difficult in the future. The Church’s power was formidable, and with such advanced weapons, it would be hard to resist their might.
Fortunately, there were no unexpected situations along the way, and they quickly approached the vicinity of the dock. Ye Chen and the team laid low in the area nearby, carefully observing the situation. Boats on the sea slowly docked, anchored, and bridges were set up, completing a series of actions. The little brothers came down in batches carrying crates. Ye Chen knew those crates surely contained new weapons and ammunition.
"Look... it’s those guys!" Feng Zhixiao pointed to several little brothers on the dock responsible for handovers.
On the dock, a few little brothers were chatting among themselves, one even opened a crate and took out killing-looking rifles that gleamed darkly under the lights. Da Hei couldn’t help but say: "Tsk tsk, if only these guys could let the brothers use them, wouldn’t that be great?"
"What a pity!" Feng Zhixiao nodded, saying: "So many advanced weapons, it would be a real pity to have them destroyed!"
"Don’t mention it!" Ye Chen scanned everyone and then said: "These things aren’t ours, and we’re not eager for them. Besides, are these things even useful for you guys? Who among you would know how to use them if you took them back?"
Everyone fell silent, although these things really did require some initial harmony, otherwise, most people wouldn’t know how to use them. These things take time. Seeing the group stay silent, Ye Chen stopped talking as well. Soon, the guns and ammunition from the ship were unloaded, massive amounts of gunpowder and firearms piled up on the dock in densely packed wooden crates. Ye Chen was quite baffled, wondering if these guys had pig brains, not knowing how to use containers for shipping?
But how could Ye Chen know, getting these items through customs was such a difficult task, completely relying on the little brothers secretly carrying each crate aboard, each carrying a heavy box of ammunition, then detouring around customs, shipping them onto the boat from a very concealed corner, hidden under the deck where average people couldn’t spot them. That’s why so many items were being unloaded from the ship.
The Church Guards were methodically counting the goods, while Ye Chen and his team watched not far away, their eyes resembling a pair of sneaky eyes fixated on the glowing gold ingots.
"Attack!" Ye Chen pulled out a grenade from his arms, decisively removing the safety pin, and threw it into the crowd.
Boom...
A loud explosion completely disrupted the calm dock, the grenade obliterating everything into smithereens. Moreover, Ye Chen’s grenade landed precisely on the boxes of new grenades, instantly detonating the grenades inside the wooden boxes.
The entire dock became utterly lively, nearly every wooden crate was blown into splinters. The firearms and ammunition inside were completely fragmented. Feng Zhixiao and others were utterly stunned, they praised: "Brother Chen, you’re too godlike to bomb with such precision!"
"Haha..." Ye Chen laughed heartily.
"Mr. Ye, they’re coming!" Jimmy, who had been intensely observing the situation, saw the opponent’s forces already rushing toward Ye Chen and the team. They didn’t expect someone would be hidden in the dark and destroy everything so swiftly. If they didn’t capture these people alive, they would have no way to report back. Hence, these Church Guards were determined.
"Attack!" Ye Chen shouted.
Over thirty people rushed toward the dock, the opponent was very fierce, immediately engaging upon arrival. Although the Church Guards’ prowess had been experienced before, Ye Chen and his team came well-prepared this time, not to mention those soldiers were carefully selected from the Seal Team, each armed from teeth to fingertips.
