1011: Chapter 980: Eavesdropping on Storms!

Vital Clues!

The night was deep.

In the southwest frontier, mountains were continuous.

A mountain rain was approaching, drenching the vast forest swiftly.

Rain fell from the sky, pouring down like a deluge upon the branches, making a loud rustling sound.

A highly concealed cave entrance.

In the darkness, two dark and lean men were whispering softly.

“The smuggler messaged back, there’s no way out for now.

Patrols have increased, and they’ve added drone surveillance.

The security is much tighter, crossing the Continental Line is too risky!”

“Damn it!

Have they gone mad?

With these wild mountains, do they really need such a big fuss?

When the Sakuragi Hana virus outbreak was at its worst, I didn’t see this level of lockdown!”

“How should I know?

Fuck, wasn’t this route stable before?

What’s making it so unreliable now?

It’s freaking weird!”

“Wait for the smuggler’s message!

Charging through now would be like walking into a trap.”

“We don’t have much choice but to wait for now!

By the way, did you check if that girl woke up?

I need a smoke!”

…

A shadow slowly felt its way into the cave in the darkness.

Another shadow, lighting a cigarette, squatted at the mouth of the cave, frowning as he took slow drags.

However, his way of smoking was peculiar.

Most people hold a cigarette between their index and middle fingers, but his right hand was more like a fist, almost cradling the cigarette in his palm.

Such a method of smoking was to prevent the ember from becoming a glaring target in the darkness.

Back on the battlefield, those who couldn’t withstand their craving for a smoke often paid with their lives.

In the dark, the glowing cigarette ember was all too convenient for an enemy to take aim and shoot.

Before he finished smoking, his companion returned.

“Good thing I went to check on time.

She almost woke up, so I quickly gave her another shot!

But it’s the third dose now.

Won’t be there any side effects from too much of this drug?”

“Why do you care so much?

Our job is to get her out.

Just don’t know when we’ll be able to leave this damn cave.

Shit!!”

The two cautious men only dared to smoke and grumble during the relentless downpour.

The sound would be muffled by the rain, and the smell would be washed away, less likely to expose their whereabouts.

However…

Mountain rains often came quickly and left just as fast.

In less than half an hour, the rain began to lessen and eventually stopped.

A gentle mountain breeze blew, bringing with it a chill.

The two wrapped themselves in their raincoats, leaning against the cave wall, feigning sleep while waiting.

In the dark.

The satellite phone suddenly vibrated, buzzing with an incoming call.

Hastily answered, it was from the smuggler.

“It’s still a no-go, brother.

Not even money can get us through, no one’s daring to take the risk!”

“Fuck!

What do we do now?

We gotta move this merchandise fast!

Think of something, will you?”

“Sigh!

What can I think of?

Go look at the Continental Line yourself.

There’s practically a guard every five steps, sentries every ten.

With security so tight, how could you slip through?”

“Do you have any other routes then?

This merchandise is really urgent!”

“You willing to take the sea route?

Hide in the ship’s bottom hold, that kind?”

“This…”

The shadow hesitated.

He understood all too well what the bottom hold meant.

Every ship set to sail on the ocean, in order to ensure stability and lower the center of gravity, has a ballast hold at the bottom filled with ballast water.

Some criminals would modify the ship’s bottom hold to smuggle certain items.

But one can imagine what conditions must be like down there…

No ventilation, stale air, pitch darkness, constant noise…

Eating, drinking, using the toilet, sleeping, all extremely inconvenient.

If it were only for an hour or two, that would be fine.

But the problem is, ships can’t travel fast.

The average speed is just thirty to forty kilometers per hour, and that includes checkups before departure, possible inspections at sea…

To successfully stow away at sea, one would have to hide in the bottom hold for at least two or three days, which would be utter misery.

Anyone who’s been through it once would be dead set against doing it a second time.

After some hesitation, the shadow declined.

“I think we should just wait!

My goods are special.

If they end up in the bottom hold of a ship, that would be a downgrade!”

“Alright then, keep waiting for my message, but I reckon it won’t be less than three to five days before this blows over.”

Ended the call.

Both shadows sighed.

This job was proving to be immensely difficult.

Stalking and watching for several days, they had seized their opportunity to kidnap their target, following the plan to reach the Continental Line, preparing to smuggle out of the country.

But what happened?

They ran into strict control.

The density of patrols on the Continental Line had increased, and with more high-tech equipment, surveillance was tighter.

Attempting to break through now would be truly suicidal.

And with a valuable live cargo, they didn’t dare try other ways out of the country too casually.

If the cargo died, it would be worth nothing.

After discussing, the two immediately used their satellite phone to report back.

“Tao, we can’t go through the smuggler’s route.

Control is too strict, we can’t risk it.

There’s no way to get through in the short term!

The risk is too great, and I don’t dare to make a move with the merchandise!”

“I’ve already heard about it.

Many departments have formed a joint task force, and Lin Yuan’s disappearance case has been listed as a major case under strict supervision.

Strengthening control over the Continental Line is to be expected!”

“Ah?

Then what do you suggest?

Should we have the client come directly to Liuli Continent?

We find a secluded place and hand over the person?

It would be safer and a lot more convenient that way.

In special times, we should use special measures.

I believe they would understand, right?”
