Chapter 447 Extra: The Blade of the Country

It was night, deep in the mountains and old forests, and several men were hurrying on the road under the moonlight.

The men were all carrying backpacks, and they seemed to be in a hurry, but they were actually very cautious.

The man in the lead had sharp eyes and scanned the front vigilantly, fearing that there were hidden enemies or traps ahead. The man at the back kept cleaning up the traces they had passed, fearing that they would be tracked.

Looking only at the few people under his feet, he did not notice that a pair of cold eyes were staring at them from a big tree not far ahead.

Lu and Yan were undergoing forest crossing and survival training. They had been rushing for several days in a row. When they arrived here tonight, they thought about resting for a few hours to recover their strength, so they found a big tree and climbed up to rest.

In this kind of deep mountain and dense forest, there are many mosquitoes and poisonous insects on the ground, and it is a little safer on the trees.

As a result, just after dozing off for a while, they met such a group of people.

Lu Heyan cursed in her heart that it was bad luck. It seemed that she could not rest tonight.

The moonlight was good tonight. Lu Heyan was on the tree and could see clearly. In addition, she was a superpower, so she could see even more clearly.

Those people had fierce faces and they were not good people at first glance. Thinking of her father's instructions before departure, Lu Heyan deduced that they were probably escaped drug dealers.

She saw that the backpacks of several people were bulging. They did not look like they were fleeing, but rather looked like they were delivering supplies somewhere.

Since she met them by chance, there was no reason to let them go. After a few people passed by, Lu and Yan slipped down from the tree and quietly followed them.

She wanted to see where they were going, maybe she could find another lair of drug dealers.

In recent years, the domestic economy has developed rapidly, and various criminal activities have also sprung up. Although the country has been increasing police force in recent years, there are always places that are not taken care of. Some border towns have developed into a paradise for criminals by the time they realize the seriousness of the problem.

Those places have become the country's "lawless world". The people there do not apply for household registration and identity cards, do not implement family planning policies, do not pay grain for farming, do not pay taxes for business, and do not register their cars.

Every family there hides weapons and sells guns; every household deals in drugs, and theft, robbery, and murder happen all the time. It is not new at all.

They dare to rob even the passing military vehicles transporting supplies and ammunition to the border. Even when the troops sent people to ask for them, they were so arrogant that they asked the troops to pay money to redeem them.

Some time ago, there was such a town on the border that was taken down by the troops and the local public security organs.

The reason was that the convoy of the troops transporting supplies was blocked by those people when passing through the town, and they asked the troops to pay "tolls" or they would not let them go. At that time, they were still at war with neighboring countries. In order not to affect the battlefield in front, the leader in charge of logistics could only give 20,000 yuan to let the convoy pass.

After Commander Xu learned about it, he was furious and scolded those people. As the country's army, they had to bow to criminals on their own land. How ridiculous, and they still talked about defending the country.

However, the domestic security is the business of the public security organs, and he can't intervene rashly. He can only put pressure on the local public security department and let them shut down the drug den as soon as possible.

The local public security is also miserable. They naturally know that they have to crack down, but their police force is limited, and there are too many criminals and they are too rampant. In recent years, the number of comrades they sacrificed is not much less than that of the front line.

For example, in that town, there are thousands of people in the whole town, most of whom are criminals. The weapons hidden in it are estimated to be enough to arm a battalion. They dare not send people there to sacrifice one by one. The town government there didn't dare to do anything at all. It was even possible that they had been assimilated by the criminals and participated in criminal activities.

In this case, if they went there, it would be hard to tell who would be the one to catch whom.

Finally, the leaders of the local Ministry of Public Security asked the troops through their superiors to ask them to help and send troops to fight the criminals together.

In the end, the troops sent a battalion of troops, and the armed police dispatched hundreds of armed police to cooperate with the local public security department. They used heavy weapons such as rocket launchers, recoilless guns, and armored vehicles. After a few days, they finally captured and cleared most of the criminals in the town.

However, many people escaped.

Before Lu and Yan set off, Lu Changzheng told her about this and asked her to be careful, as she estimated that she might encounter fugitive drug dealers.

*****

Lu Heyan followed them for most of the night, and finally at a valley, the men stopped and chirped a few times.

Lu Heyan estimated that they had reached their destination, and quickly hid more securely.

Sure enough, after a while, a few bird calls were heard not far away, and the men chirped a few words in response.

Then, two men with submachine guns came out of the bushes nearby, said a few words to the men, and let them pass.

Lu Heyan frowned, quietly retreated, and planned to sneak past them from the back to see how many people there were and how many sentries there were.

Lu and Yan had been through rigorous training, and they were supernatural beings. They had also cultivated immortality in their previous lives. Naturally, their abilities were not comparable to those people. But in just a few hours, they had figured out the situation.

There was a small village behind the valley, with a dozen houses made of wood and mud, and there were about fifty or sixty people inside. Surrounding the village, there were a total of 18 sentries, all of which were fully armed, and there were even snipers and machine gunners.

As long as someone approached the village, those who were not skilled enough would basically not be able to escape the eyes of these sentries.

It was estimated to be the base of a major drug lord.

After Lu and Yan understood the situation, they retreated to a safe area and contacted their father using the satellite phone they carried with them. They reported the situation here to him and informed him of the approximate coordinates of the location.

After Lu Changzheng reminded his daughter to be careful, he reported the situation to Commander Xu.

After receiving the news, Commander Xu called the leader of the Public Security Bureau directly. These criminals are so rampant that they are always a thorn in the rear of the border. Commander Xu thought about discussing with the public security department to send the troops to eliminate those with great power first.

So many people escaped during the last encirclement and suppression. Obviously, someone informed them in advance. Someone in the public security system must have been corrupted.

If they are allowed to go there again this time, they might run away again. Criminals have no bottom line. They may know that it was the military who found them, and then turn around and retaliate against the frontline troops.

If it was in the past, the director would definitely not agree, after all, fighting crime is their job. But recently, there are too many things. This kind of behavior of openly robbing military supplies has angered the central government, and they have been ordered to shut down these illegal places within a limited time.

They are already too busy, and the military is willing to help and catch those who escape for them. This is a good thing.

The director promised and thanked them. Let them catch those who can be caught, and kill them on the spot if they can't catch them.

As for trying to catch them alive and keep them for trial, he didn't even mention it. There are so many criminals, and there are plenty of people to try. The crimes these people have committed are enough to be shot dozens of times. The troops are kind enough to help, but they should not let them increase unnecessary sacrifices.
