Chapter 173 Taking the Initiative
The meeting lasted until the early morning and the sea returned to calm.
Without Shen Peirong's order, the patrolmen no longer went out, and instead used helicopters to patrol in the air.
The people from the Special Intelligence Bureau were not sleepy at all after the meeting. They went to the beach and watched the sea water hitting the sand.
The tide rises at night at the seaside, and because of the appearance of the dragon in the past few days, there is not much seafood left on the beach after the tide recedes.
Facing the gentle sea breeze, Shen Lingyu sat on the beach.
She stared at the sea in a daze, tapping her cell phone intermittently.
"What are you thinking about?"
The light above her head was suddenly blocked by shadows, and Qi Ke sat cross-legged beside her, holding two cans of ice cola.
“Click—”
The coke pull ring was opened, soda bubbles came out, and Shen Lingyu raised her head and drank most of it.
"Tell me what you're thinking."
Qi Ke smiled, opened the pull ring and gulped down the Coke, "What if I'm wrong?"
"If you're wrong, just think of it as my mistake." Shen Lingyu finished the Coke in two gulps, crushed the can, threw it aside, and fell on the beach with his head tilted back.
Without tall buildings, the stars on the seashore are very easy to observe, and there is a large starry sky for people to look up at.
Shen Lingyu took out his phone and took two photos.
Qi Ke also lay down, staring at the stars with nostalgia in his eyes.
"My first mission was in the mountains, and I also saw a sky full of stars. Now that I see the starry sky again, do you think this will be our last mission?"
Shen Lingyu tutted speechlessly: “What do you mean by the last mission? You want to retire at such a young age?”
"What retirement? Who wants to retire?"
Wenren Zhen came with Rongrong, followed by other people from the Special Intelligence Bureau.
Everyone took the braised food they brought from the cafeteria and sat down in a circle.
"Yes, who wants to retire? We are still working hard, why should we retire?" Chi Yan opened a bag of braised chicken feet and placed it on the beach.
Shen Lingyu got up from the ground, grabbed a chicken claw and started chewing it.
She raised her chin towards Qi Ke and said, "She said tomorrow might be her last mission. I think it's too early for her to retire."
He Miyun's head bounced towards Qi Ke, "Sister, you are not right. You want to retire after only working for a few years. Where is the enthusiasm you had when you joined the Special Intelligence Bureau?"
Qi Ke covered her head and explained, "My retirement is not a literal retirement, it's not about tomorrow's mission..."
She stopped talking before she finished, quickly grabbed a duck neck and stuffed it into her mouth, "Forget it, I won't say anything, you all know what I mean anyway."
Yes, everyone knows what she meant.
But no one said anything, and everyone silently understood it as having another meaning.
After all, one is a good thing and the other is a bad thing.
After Shen Lingyu finished chewing the chicken feet and pinched the fluff, which made the little girl almost bite her, she showed a rare smile on her face.
"I don't have expectations for the future. Living well in the present is the best choice."
The others smiled upon hearing this.
Yes, who knows what will happen tomorrow, just live one day at a time.
Don't try to predict the future, because the future may not happen as you imagine.
......
The orange sunlight covers the sea, the sea surface is sparkling, and the sunlight awakens the earth.
All personnel were ready to go, checking each other's weapons to make sure nothing was left behind.
Carrying dozens of kilograms of equipment on their backs, the technical staff led by Feng Xun were almost bent over with exhaustion.
Fortunately, the soldiers traveling with them took over the heavier objects, thus saving several people from falling heavily.
Military vehicles stopped in front of the camp. Shen Lingyu and the others got on first, followed by Xi Shang and others.
When all the people were gathered, they set off. Everyone sat in the car, holding their weapons and wooden magazines, and didn't say a word to each other.
The destination is in a bay half an hour away from the camp.
This place is surrounded by mountains on three sides and only faces the sea on one side, making it a natural battlefield.
Shen Peirong and other leaders had to go ahead. They arrived in the bay early and communicated details with the helicopter pilots on standby.
There are several hundred kilograms of animal meat tied to the outside of the helicopter, all of which will be thrown into the sea later.
The driver was also fully armed, carrying dozens of kilograms of equipment, including bombs.
The countermeasure discussed last night was to lure the dragon out artificially. Since the dragon was lurking on the seabed and was unwilling to come out, they would take the initiative to lure it out.
Even if they are in a passive position, they should turn passivity into initiative.
The dragon had eaten humans before, proving that it was still interested in meat. Shen Peirong then decided to use animal meat to lure it first, and then switch to real people after confirming the position.
After everyone was in place, three helicopters, each loaded with several hundred kilograms of meat, took off.
They first flew over the sea area yesterday and circled, then sent the video to the bay.
Feng Xun and others immediately assembled the equipment they brought, established a signal base, and absorbed the images transmitted back.
The footage showed that there was no movement at the place where the accident happened yesterday. A helicopter dropped the hanging meat into the sea, and only a few sharks were seen fighting for the meat.
This helicopter took off, and another helicopter flew to a farther place to continue dropping the bombs.
Once again, the meat fell into the sea and sank to the bottom in a moment. This time, not even a shark was seen.
Shen Peirong continued to command the third helicopter, which moved forward and arrived at the sea more than 100 meters away from the beach.
At this time, changes occurred on the sea surface. After the meat was thrown in, the contents of the seabed were synchronously transmitted to the computer.
Everyone saw the screen go black first, and then several red-eyed sharks approached. Before they could open their huge mouths, they swam away with their tails.
Everyone's heart tightened and they held their breath and stared at the screen.
A few seconds later, the dragon they had been waiting for finally showed up.
It has an extremely huge head that takes up the entire screen. Its body is black, and the corners of its mouth are covered with blood and flesh.
A pair of dark green eyes stared at the pile of fallen flesh, the fierce light in his eyes was not restrained at all.
Through the camera footage, everyone who took a glance at it felt their hearts pounding.
This black dragon is at least tens of meters long.
The black dragon flicked its tail, not noticing what was in the pile of meat, and extended its forked tongue to roll up the piece of meat and stuff it into its mouth.
The screen suddenly went black, and a group of people quickly took action.
After determining the direction, the people from the Special Intelligence Agency couldn't help but worry about the fact that they had dinner on the beach yesterday.
In the afternoon, the black dragon was still far away from the shore, but now it was less than a hundred meters away from the shore.
Combined with the place where the ship sank before, everyone can know that the black dragon will approach the shore every day, but for some reason it does not come ashore.
But judging from today's situation, it is estimated that the dragon will completely come ashore tonight.
Their current actions are truly wise.
The bait was originally Shen Lingyu and Huang Yu, but after careful consideration, it was finally replaced by Xi Shang and others who were good at rappelling.
One of them was Baofeng, who had worked with Shen Lingyu before.
After the last cooperation mission, Baofeng and his team members successfully obtained the milky white liquid to strengthen their bodies. Now their physical strength is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
The two men carried everyone's hopes, tied ropes around their bodies, took rocket launchers and bombs, and got on a helicopter and flew away.
