"Don't get agitated. When the time comes, be cautious, and the mission to rescue Xie Chuchu will be entrusted to you."
"Yes, team leader, I guarantee the mission will be completed!"
"Yu Ning, you and a few officers will breach from the east. There's a small path on the back of the mountain. You'll be responsible for luring away the guards there. These are some messages my sister sent; she's already figured out the general layout of the amusement park."
"Alright, what about the other areas?"
I instructed Du Wantian, "You'll lead a group to open the water gates on the mountain. The water will be released, and combined with the rainfall, the amusement park will likely be flooded soon. He Jinghui will provide support and guide you to the high ground on the south side. He Bai Ling and I will launch a full-scale attack on the east side of the amusement park. That area is the dormitory for the Polaris Zhenshui Amusement Park base, where most of the mercenaries are concentrated. Once you launch your attack, those stationed at the amusement park will call for reinforcements. But if we intercept them in the dormitory, they won't be able to provide support. Then we'll have time to rescue Xie Chuchu and the others."
"What a brilliant plan! I'm already excited before we even start!"
"Indeed. Everyone, be cautious and don't be careless. This is a dangerous operation. Even with the most thorough plan, unforeseen circumstances can arise, so don't let your guard down. Alright, let's move out!!"
Everyone quickly left the conference room and the Huixian Company, heading their separate ways towards the Zhenshui Amusement Park. As planned, we lay in ambush nearby. Just before the heavy rain arrived, as dark clouds gathered, we were ready to launch our assault. I saw quite a few organized mercenaries patrolling the area. I looked at my sister, who nodded at me. I then used the radio communicator to ask, "Team One!"
"In position!"
"Team Two!"
"Here!"
"Team Three!"
"Present!"
"Action!"
With my command, all officers moved forward with their weapons according to their designated positions. My sister and I led a group of officers, guns in hand, directly into their dormitory, opening fire. The scene was more intense than any Hollywood blockbuster.
Many mercenaries were caught completely off guard and met their demise. My sister and I fired relentlessly, being the first to subdue many of them. All who resisted were killed, but some were arrested. They would have to be thrown into the Huixian Company warehouse, hidden with Mo Derong.
Our battle was the first to break out, followed by Liu Yu Ning, Gao Mingqiang, and others launching their respective operations.
We initially had the upper hand in the dormitory, but as the mercenaries gradually reacted and many picked up their weapons to fight back, my sister and I found ourselves trapped in a dormitory building, with many officers sacrificing their lives.
I pulled the wounded, unable to bear watching them get shot. But the mercenaries were growing in number. Even my sister was suppressed by a barrage of bullets for a moment.
The mercenaries reloaded their weapons, advanced with shields, aiming to break into the dormitory and slaughter us.
My sister and I were less than two meters apart, with only a wooden table separating us. We were facing a wall. Feeling the mercenaries closing in, with several officers in front of me covered in blood, a SWAT officer handed me a grenade. "Team leader, Captain Li… told me to make sure you're protected!"
"Xiao Zheng, stay strong!"
"No, I saw Captain Li. Team leader, throw this, blast a bloody path, and get out of here. As long as we rescue Forensic Investigator Xie and Forensic Investigator Ling, our mission will be accomplished!"
"Xiao Zheng!"
Xiao Zheng nodded forcefully at me, his head tilted, and he breathed his last. I was filled with rage. I hurled the grenade at a large group of mercenaries. After a deafening explosion, many were blown away. I grabbed my assault rifle and swept through them, taking down a group of mercenaries. I noticed that many of them were foreigners.
It seemed that the Polaris members in China were short-handed, so they brought in criminals from foreign countries.
I scavenged for some weapons, including two flashbangs and tear gas. Just as I was about to escape, more mercenaries arrived. They raised their assault rifles, about to pull the trigger on me, when suddenly, an extreme pain shot through my back, accompanied by incredibly gruesome screams. Countless mercenaries were taken down. I lunged at one of them at top speed, breaking his neck. My sister then grabbed me, and we sprinted out of the dormitory building until we reached the back of the mountain. There, we saw Gao Mingqiang with a large group of officers escorting Xie Chuchu and Ling Xiaotao towards us.
It seemed that fellow had moved quickly. After we rendezvoused, Liu Yu Ning and Du Wantian, among others, had also completed their respective tasks. The amusement park was flooded, and countless mercenaries rushed to the scene and drowned.
We found He Jinghui via another path on the back of the mountain and successfully escaped.
Back at the Huixian Company, we took a headcount. To our dismay, over ten more officers had been lost. Fortunately, we had rescued some officers on the back of the mountain. In total, we still had over fifty people.
Xie Chuchu, who had been rescued, hugged Gao Mingqiang and began to cry, "Mingqiang, I thought we were dead for sure. I never thought we'd see everyone again!"
"How could we possibly leave you behind? The Sin Punishment Team is a family! Not one less!"
"Yes, we're back!"
This was the first time I had ever seen Xie Chuchu cry. The usually cold and strong forensic investigator also had moments of tears. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought I was hallucinating.
Ling Xiaotao, however, looked at me with a stern expression. "Team leader, we saw He Xin at the time, but she was taken elsewhere!"
"Damn it! They wouldn't do anything to He Xin, would they!"
"We must find her as soon as possible!"
He Jinghui and He Bai Ling were still out scouting. For the time being, the Huixian Company would serve as our base.
The defenses and supplies here were the best. Moreover, as we fled, we ambushed several trucks passing through the amusement park and took their supplies. After transporting them back, everyone could have a good meal again. We also found a lot of weapons in the trucks.
With our equipment replenished, everyone continued to rest in shifts. It wasn't until He Jinghui returned that we confirmed He Xin's location: at the waterworks in the south. It was said that many officers were also held captive there at the time.
"We must capture this waterworks. It's our next target. If He Xin rejoins us, we'll have technical support. Then, contacting the outside world should be easier! Furthermore, He Xin will definitely help us find more ways to deal with those Polaris organization members!"
"Exactly. This is an extremely important mission. Does everyone have the confidence to complete it?" Liu Yu Ning shouted.
The crowd responded enthusiastically: "Of course!"
