Chapter 119 Interception and Raid: A Showdown Between the Players (1)
Night falls, the cool moonlight spills across the sand, the sea of sand stretches to the horizon, utterly silent.
The temperature dropped rapidly as the moonlight arrived; the temperature one minute was completely different from the temperature the next.
That's how the Middle East is; the days are scorching hot, making you sweat profusely, while the nights are freezing cold, making you feel the chill of winter.
On the wide road outside the city, two jeeps sped through the night, looking like two tiny dots in a vast sea of sand from a distance.
Finally, the jeep stopped on a hillside, in a sharp bend with a hill standing in the middle.
Logan, in the driver's seat, turned off the engine and all the lights. The black jeep seemed to disappear into the night in an instant, and you wouldn't be able to tell that there were two cars hidden there unless you looked closely.
"Can't we carry out missions during the day?"
Looking at the pitch-black desert in the passenger seat, Victor couldn't help but complain.
It's so late at night and I can't see anything at all. This feeling is terrible.
Logan stared intently at the road ahead, listening carefully for any sounds of vehicles coming from behind the mountain.
Upon hearing Victor's words, he gestured with his chin and said, "We're not doing any charity work; we're intercepting goods. The dark environment is more suitable for our operation."
Although their visibility was limited at night, the opposite side was in the same situation. Moreover, Logan and his men had much better night vision than normal people, which gave them an advantage.
They only have a few people now, so they must seize every advantage they have.
Hearing this explanation, Victor shrugged helplessly, showing no sign of tension about carrying out a dangerous mission. Instead, he leaned back in his chair, comfortably took out a cigarette, and lit it.
The crimson glow of the cigarette butt stood out starkly against the dark ground.
He exhaled a smoke ring, the smoke filling the entire car seat.
Logan turned his head to look at the crimson flame, his brow furrowed, and said, "Put out the smoke!"
At this time, any unusual situation could lead to mission failure, and the scarlet fireworks would certainly attract the attention of others, which would be detrimental to their infiltration.
But Victor thought Logan's caution was an overreaction and rolled his eyes, saying, "They can't see what's behind the hill."
He paused, then looked at his cigarette butt. "Besides, what impact could such a small spark have?"
It was just a tiny scarlet dot, which Victor considered insignificant and barely noticeable unless you paid close attention.
But Logan maintained his cautious approach, saying in a low voice, "Be careful, this mission is extremely important!"
They didn't know if the rescue operation at the shelter was going smoothly. If it was, great, but if it failed, the success or failure of this mission would determine the life or death of the others in the shelter!
Hearing Logan's words, Victor looked slightly helpless. "Alright, alright, what a pity, we just lit it."
He gazed longingly at the cigarette between his fingers, took a deep drag, and then reluctantly tossed the cigarette butt into the water bottle and shook it.
As the fireworks died down, the entire car was plunged into complete darkness once again. No one could see each other; all that could be heard was the sound of breathing.
In the silence, McCain suddenly spoke up: "When the fighting starts, everyone should stay put, grab the goods and leave."
Many people are eyeing this shipment, and after it's gone, they will become thorns in the side of various factions.
They will become targets of various forces, and if they do not evacuate quickly, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Especially you, Victor."
McCa emphasized to Victor, "Don't get carried away as soon as the fighting starts. This mission isn't about killing people, it's about the cargo."
Viktor's recklessness always worried him; after all, the guy's adrenaline would surge at the mere smell of blood, and he'd be like a mad bull, impossible to stop.
When faced with McCain's mention of him, Victor curled his lip and said, "Don't worry about me so much. Although I am warlike, I don't want to become the target of so many forces."
"Hopefully we won't run into S.H.I.E.L.D."
Moira, sitting in the back seat, suddenly spoke up. Looking at the silent night, a hint of worry flickered in her bright eyes. She then added, "And the Avengers, they're too troublesome."
In her opinion, the unknown organization Hydra mentioned was obviously not as troublesome as S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers. After all, the Avengers' strength was obvious to all, and once they had their eyes on her, Moira really couldn't think of any way to escape from them.
Everyone fell silent after hearing Moira's words.
Everyone understood that since S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers had their eyes on this shipment, they would definitely not be absent.
However, Logan and his team did not say such discouraging words aloud.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, a headlight suddenly appeared on the distant horizon, followed by the roar of a car engine.
Seeing the lights come on, Maika took a deep breath, his expression becoming extremely serious, and said in a deep voice, "They're here. Get ready!"
Everyone nodded, pulled out their pistols, cocked them, and sat in the car watching the approaching vehicles.
As the convoy rounded the hill, everyone finally saw the entire convoy.
Logan carefully examined the convoy information and said in a deep voice, "Four trucks, that's quite a big deal!"
At that moment, on the main road ahead of them, four trucks were driving in a neat row, the roar of their engines clearly audible in the dark night.
Victor turned to look at Mackay in the back seat, raised an eyebrow and said, "Hey, now it's your turn to make a move."
Of the four, only McCarthy had the ability to stop the truck.
Of course, Logan could do it too; his heat vision could easily cut a truck in half, but now is definitely not the time to reveal that ability.
McCa nodded and silently opened the car door.
call.
The howling wind outside rushed into the car, and the temperature difference, so different from that during the day, made everyone shiver, but they quickly recovered.
After taking a deep breath, McCain slowly walked to the middle of the road and stared at the oncoming vehicles. The dazzling headlights shone on him, making him squint. The lights cast a very long shadow on him.
On the other side, the driver of the car was a soldier in military uniform. When he saw McCa suddenly appear on the road ahead, he was startled and frantically honked the horn while slamming his foot on the brake pedal.
squeak……
A screeching sound of brakes rang out, but at that speed, the vehicle couldn't stop immediately and was still being pushed forward forcefully by inertia.
Just as it was about to hit McCa, McCa took a deep breath, suddenly opened his eyes, and golden light flashed on his arm. He then slammed his hand on the ground.
The next moment, golden light continuously poured into the ground.
Rumble!
The land rippled like ocean waves, with layers of desert spray crashing against the car. Above the surrounding sea of sand, yellow sand billowed up, and strands of brownish-yellow sand, like giant dragons soaring into the sky, made a sharp turn in mid-air and crashed into the truck.
Four trucks trembled on the rippling ground. Unable to brake in time, they collided in a rear-end collision. The rumbling sound continued. The lead truck crashed hard into the sand that suddenly surged up in front of it, but fortunately the bumper was strong enough to prevent it from being crushed.
However, before the people in the car could even feel relieved, the roaring sand dragons on both sides charged towards them.
boom!
The sound of the impact echoed across the silent desert as four trucks were slammed to the ground by the giant dragon's charge.
After completing their mission, the sand dragons soared into the sky once more, dispersing into tiny grains of sand that fell like a sandstorm.
"Dude, we're counting on you!"
When Victor saw McCa stop the truck, he immediately opened the door, quickly got out, and excitedly patted McCa on the shoulder.
Looking at the four trucks that had completely overturned, I couldn't help but sigh.
At least in terms of stopping trucks, he was no match for McCain. The only way he could stop a few trucks was to puncture their tires and force them to stop, which was far less impressive than McCain's method.
"Alright, hurry up and take the goods away!"
McCa slapped Victor's arm away and cautiously looked around into the darkness.
Although the truck was stopped in one go, the commotion it caused was too great. If there were other forces nearby, they would definitely be attracted by the noise.
They need to act quickly.
Logan nodded and immediately jogged toward the overturned truck.
The vehicle's headlights were still on, and the blinding high beams illuminated the road exceptionally clearly.
However, just as Logan and his team approached the truck...
boom!
A loud bang suddenly rang out as the truck door was kicked open by the surviving soldier inside.
However, it was clear that although he had survived, his condition was not good. His body was covered with abrasions, and blood seeped out from under his military uniform. His head was also injured by a violent impact, and blood was streaming down his face, making him look quite terrifying.
He shook his confused head and limped out of the carriage. Just as he was trying to figure out what was going on, he suddenly saw Logan and the others ahead of him.
The soldier jolted, his pupils widening as he stared at them, raising his rifle without hesitation, his face filled with terror.
Logan and the others quickly drew their guns, pointing the muzzles of three pistols at the soldier's head.
"Don't kill him, I have questions to ask!"
When McCa saw that someone was still alive, his eyes lit up and he jogged over.
boom!
But no sooner had he finished speaking than a gunshot rang out.
The piercing gunshots echoed through the silent desert as the whistling bullets accurately pierced the soldier's head, instantly causing blood to bloom on the back of his skull, spreading everywhere.
The soldier fell straight down in shock, blood flowing continuously onto the ground before being absorbed by the sand, forming a patch of scarlet blood.
McCa's expression suddenly changed. He quickly ran to the soldier and knelt down. When he saw the bullet hole under the soldier's helmet, his face instantly turned furious.
"Who fired the shot!"
He turned around and stared at the three people behind him, angrily questioning them.
However, at this moment, Logan and his two companions remained in the position of raising their guns, looking at each other with bewildered expressions.
"It wasn't us."
Logan looked at the other two men's gun barrels, but neither showed any sign of firing.
Suddenly, he realized something and shouted, "Damn it, it's people from another faction! Quick, get out of the way!"
After saying that, he darted behind the truck.
There were only a few of them here. If they weren't the ones who fired the shots, then it must have been other forces that intervened.
Victor and Moira realized what was happening, their expressions changed, and they quickly followed Logan to hide.
bang bang bang! ! !
Intense gunfire echoed through the desert, and whistling bullets struck the open space where Logan and his men had been standing. If they were still standing there, they would have been riddled with bullets long ago.
Hearing the piercing gunshots, Logan frowned and cautiously peeked out.
On a hill not far away, gunfire flashed continuously, and whistling bullets shot from the muzzles, hurtling towards them.
After Logan and his team took cover, the gunmen were clearly not going to give up so easily. They turned their guns around and aimed them at the location where Logan and his team were hiding, and a hail of bullets hit the car.
Ding ding ding!!
The entire truck was riddled with bullets, riddled with countless bullet holes, and the truck was being hit repeatedly.
"Fuck, those guys really know how to pick their timing! They only made their move after we'd already overturned the truck!"
Victor hid behind the car, and the whistling bullets hit the carriage behind him, making the carriage shake noticeably.
Faced with this ambush, his eyes were filled with anger. He was always the one who ambushed others, yet someone dared to ambush him!
"What should we do now?"
Marcos listened to the intense gunfire, his face showing some fear. He cautiously peeked out, wanting to see what was happening outside.
Whoosh! !
The bullet flew straight toward his head, startling Marcos so much that he immediately ducked. He could clearly feel the scorching bullet whizzing past his scalp; a single bullet took away a small portion of his body.
Touching his head, which had nearly been blown off, Marcos looked terrified, swallowed hard, and said worriedly, "If this keeps up, they'll blow up the fuel tank sooner or later!"
If the fuel tank is blown up, the explosion will instantly engulf them and the surrounding trucks. At that point, forget about completing the mission; he, McCa, and Moira will at least lose their lives, and Victor will probably lose half his life too!
At that moment, the intense gunfire suddenly stopped, and the desert fell silent once more.
The silence of the gunshots caused everyone to pause for a moment.
"It's stopped?"
He cautiously peeked out, trying to see what was happening on the distant hills.
But as soon as he poked his head out, his expression suddenly changed, his pupils contracted sharply, and he shouted, "Get out of the way!"
A rock, more than half a meter high, came hurtling towards them like a cannonball.
The extreme speed made the rock almost a blur; if it hit the truck, the entire truck would be totaled immediately!
As the boulder drew ever closer, Logan's pupils constricted. He grabbed Moira with one hand and Victor with the other, and lunged towards the distance!
Marcus and McCain were so frightened that they leaped up and rolled away in a sorry state.
boom!
They had just jumped away when the rock crashed directly into the truck.
The truck nearly grazed their clothes as it hurtled past, its body severely deformed by the impact of the boulder, and propelled forward by the powerful momentum.
squeak!
The carriage screeched against the ground, sending sparks flying everywhere.
boom!
The vehicle was pushed by the boulder and crashed into the hillside not far away, completely crushing the body and igniting the fuel tank with sparks.
boom!
A massive explosion erupted, sparks engulfing the wreckage of the truck. The raging blast swept outwards, whipping up dust and creating a sandstorm that swirled and drifted through the cold night.
Gravel and clods of earth flew out and hit various places.
Seeing this, Logan and the others, who were not far away, quickly lowered their bodies. The impact hit them, and in an instant, their clothes fluttered and sand filled the air.
A full minute later, the violent impact finally subsided.
Logan and the others quickly looked in the direction of the truck, only to see that the truck was just a metal frame, with flames still burning fiercely, the intense heat illuminating the sandy area brightly.
"Damn it, I hope the cargo isn't in there!"
McCa frowned as he looked at the layers of burning flames, his eyes flashing with anger. He gritted his teeth and spoke, his hands clenched into fists, extremely furious.
Unless it contains highly heat-resistant materials like those used in aerospace, it will be completely consumed by the fire and burned to ashes!
Their only hope now is that the goods are hidden in other trucks!
While McCa was worried about the cargo, Logan was clearly more concerned about the enemy situation, his eyes fixed on the hills not far away.
"Someone's coming!"
Looking at the lights that suddenly appeared in the distance, Logan frowned, his muscles bulging as he prepared for a fierce battle.
Everyone looked in the direction Logan was looking, and saw a truck speeding towards them. The blinding headlights enveloped them all, and the roaring engine sounded particularly jarring in the night. The truck was rapidly accelerating, clearly intending to run Logan and his men over.
Logan and Victor reacted quickly, immediately drawing their guns and aiming them at the truck.
Bang bang bang.
The pistols spat fire, and the bullets struck the car window precisely. To their astonishment, the truck seemed to be specially made, with bulletproof glass in the windows. The bullets only left a spiderweb-like pattern on the window, without penetrating it.
Meanwhile, the driver of the car kept pressing the accelerator, speeding past Logan and his group.
Upon witnessing this, Moira was so frightened that she joined the fray, firing her gun continuously.
Bang bang bang!
The bullets struck the truck, making a series of clanging sounds, but they had no effect whatsoever and could not stop the truck at all.
Upon seeing this, McCa frowned, his hands flashing with golden light as he slammed them into the ground.
Rumble.
The ground churned, and rows of sharp, pointed sand suddenly appeared on the sand in front. If a truck were to run over them, its tires would be crushed by the sharp points.
However, just as the truck was about to run over the spikes, suddenly, the truck made a loud bang.
It simply vanished into thin air, transforming into countless white particles that drifted away.
"Gone?!"
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but look astonished.
At this moment, there was complete silence in front of them, not a sound, and no glaring lights, as if the car from before had never existed at all.
"How is this possible!"
Marcus was stunned. He knew that even with Klaus's invisibility ability hundreds of years ago, it would be impossible to make a sound disappear, and it would also be difficult for him to make a car disappear along with it!
Logan frowned. "No, this is teleportation."
Sure enough, while everyone was still in shock, the sound of a powerful engine suddenly rang out out of nowhere.
A blinding beam of light shone from the side, and the truck reappeared out of thin air, roaring as it charged toward Logan and his group.
