Siheyuan: Why is my crossing so ugly?

Towards evening, the sky is getting dark.

The heavy rain has stopped, and the sunset has dyed the entire St. George's Town blood red. It is spectacular yet also indescribably eerie.

To the west of the city, the Essequilabo River rushes.

Saint George is located at the mouth of a big river, and it had just rained, so the river water was as turbid as ink, like a winding black dragon.

At this time, a spindle-shaped, silver-gray speedboat made entirely of fiberglass was cutting through the waves and going upstream.

This avant-garde, futuristic speedboat is actually an ultra-luxury yacht named Mermaid, produced by Ferrari and custom-made by Italian godfather Gianni.

He ordered two in total, one for his own use and the other one was given to Guo Fu as a coming-of-age gift for her.

As Du Weiguo's earliest and most staunch ally, Jenny enjoyed many privileges in Saint Georgetown. He was also one of the few outsiders who knew Guo Fu and had a relationship with her.

In fact, St. George's now has a certain level of water armed force, not only hundreds of water police, but also a small naval formation.

With more than 20 offshore armed patrol boats, two Soviet-made destroyers and two frigates, it is considered a considerable asset.

The reason for using the Mermaid was not only because it was fast enough, but also because Du Weiguo did not want to alert the enemy.

Although the Mermaid is eye-catching, it is still much more low-key compared to the murderous armed patrol boats.

There are many wealthy Europeans coming to St. George's to play around. There are also many luxury yachts parked at the inland river docks, some of which are of strange shapes.

Moreover, Guo Fu had driven the Mermaid once, so no one knew that the ship was hers.

Du Weiguo's worries were justified. Tao Tianxiang used his strange abilities to infiltrate even Guo Fu's confidants. There was no guarantee that he had not inserted any influence into these law enforcement departments.

He wanted to prevent any possibility of the news leaking out, and to make a quick decision and finish the job in one go.
"Everyone, put on your helmets, masks, and gloves, and remember, if conditions permit, try to catch them alive.

If the situation is critical, you can also kill him on the spot. Your own safety is your top priority. Do you understand?"

In the bottom cabin of the Mermaid, Du Weiguo gave the order murderously.

"Yes! Understood!"

All of the Saint Zhidun gods were present around him, and everyone had a solemn look on their faces. Even the little girl Duhani was dressed in military uniform with a tense face.

It has been their lifelong wish to fight side by side with Du Weiguo. They have been waiting for this for a long time, so they are naturally eager to fight at this moment.

"Boss! The dock will explode!" At this moment, Chunsheng suddenly yelled without any reason.

"Huh?" Du Weiguo's expression suddenly changed, and he glanced in the direction of Carlos Island through the porthole.

There is an inland dock on Carlos Island, which was built during the English colonial period. Du Weiguo and his team's original plan was to land from the dock.

"What time?" he asked in a deep voice.

"No, I don't know. The picture suddenly disappeared again and I can't see it anymore." Chunsheng scratched his head, his eyes a little confused.

"Okay, I see."

Du Weiguo nodded. He knew in his heart that the future must have been changed again. He reached out to help Chunsheng straighten the strap of his helmet and encouraged him in a gentle voice:

"Chunsheng, your discovery is very important. It may have saved everyone's lives. Don't think too much about it. If you find anything else, tell me as soon as possible."

"Okay, sir." After receiving the performance, Chunsheng smiled naively.

Patting his helmet, Du Weiguo turned to Duran again:

"Xiao Lan, go to the deck and keep your eyes on the direction of the dock. Sweep inch by inch and dig the person out!"

"Yes! Sir, I promise to complete the task!"

Duran jumped up excitedly, holding a special sniper rifle, and jumped out of the cabin nimbly.

Most of the detonation methods in this era are wired, and even if they are detonated through radio signals, the distance cannot be too far.

So, if the dock was to be blown up, the detonator must be nearby.

Although Duran's eyesight is slightly inferior to Du Weiguo's now, it should not be underestimated.

She can see at night and has a long-range vision of up to 5 kilometers. She also has the ability of X-ray vision and can penetrate steel plates one and a half meters thick.

With her skills, she is able to find the detonator hiding in the dark.

"Boss, since they are already lying in ambush at the dock, could something have happened at the research institute?"

Hanwen came closer to him, his tone a little serious.

"will not."

Du Weiguo shook his head and firmly denied this hypothesis.

In fact, when he first heard Chunsheng say that the dock would explode, he was also worried about this problem, but he quickly ruled out this possibility.

"Guo Fu has already informed the research institute and locked the door from the inside. No one can get in without a password.

With a nuclear bunker-level defense and elite guards, it won’t be easily breached even if faced with a person with special abilities.”

The Second Research Institute is the most confidential place in Saint Zhidun, so the guarding force is naturally not ambiguous. An entire squadron of Kunpeng Special Forces, totaling 126 people, is stationed there.

Speaking of this, I have to mention something.

Guyana's Kunpeng Special Forces were derived from the earliest free trade zone guards and have experienced fierce urban defense battles.

This special forces unit currently has a total strength of about a thousand people, and every single one of them is an elite selected from the best.

They were trained harshly for nearly two years by the old Russian instructors of the KGB's A Unit, and were equipped with the best weapons and protective gear of the era. Their combat effectiveness was almost as strong as that of Citibank's cuckolds.

Unfortunately, there have been no large-scale battles here since the last attack on Saint Georgetown launched by the Freemason Mina.

As for the friction, war, and even national war that might be caused by the expansion of territory as previously anticipated, they did not happen.

The people around Guyana are all weak fighters, each one more cowardly than the other.

Even with the whole country's strength, they couldn't even find a mechanic. Even if there was no great god like Du Weiguo to keep them in check, they would not dare to act rashly.

Currently, Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil have all sold large tracts of adjacent land in the name of sale or joint development.

In fact, the rulers of these countries are not particularly distressed, as they are swamps and rainforests with no development value anyway.

They exchanged these junk for real money, and they felt they had made a profit.

Among them, the worst hit was Suriname, a small and weak country. In two years, nearly half of its population was absorbed by Guyana, and the entire country even wanted to merge with it.

Therefore, although Kunpeng is elite enough, it lacks opportunities for actual combat.

As a result, Kunpeng, which was the first to be established and the largest in scale, later became the third among the four special forces under the Shashen Group, and could only barely suppress Hong Kong Island's Yan Luo.

But that’s all in the past, let’s get back to the topic.

After hearing Du Weiguo's analysis, Hanwen breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still a little worried:
"Then have they landed on the island before us? And, Boss, what about the ambush on the dock?"

Du Weiguo thought for a moment and replied in a deep voice:
"Well, according to Chunsheng's prediction, considering the time, they may have landed on the island. However, they probably haven't found the exact location of the research institute yet, otherwise, there would be movement anyway."

"As for the ambush, it takes time to lay out the explosives, and it also needs to be concealed from the public. It is very likely that they have already started planning it long ago."

"That's right." Hanwen nodded.

"No matter how awesome they are, the research institute won't be able to make any noise. At the very least, they can at least press the self-destruct device."

"Boss, you don't know that Guo Fu is very ruthless now. There are dozens of tons of high explosives buried under the research institute, enough to blow up the entire island."

Knowing that nothing happened in the research institute, Hanwen felt relieved and returned to his usual lively and outgoing personality.

As for the invading people with special abilities, he was not worried at all. With Du Weiguo in charge, these monsters were not worth mentioning at all.

"Yeah." Du Weiguo also agreed with Hanwen's point of view.

"It's been a while since we last met. Guo Fu has grown up a lot. She has become quite decisive and ruthless."

Seeing that Du Weiguo was in a good mood, Hanwen rubbed his hands and asked tentatively:

"Boss, the ordering of the Qilin Cigarette is almost done. The arsenal is working overtime to produce it. Can you take me with you in the operation to wipe out the Shou Kui Cult?"

"What's the matter?" Du Weiguo raised his eyebrows:
"Hanwen, are you bored of staying in Saint Georgetown? Want to go out for some fun?"

"Hey~"

Hanwen smiled awkwardly and took the opportunity to quickly glance at Du Weiguo's face. Seeing that he was not upset, he chose his words carefully and said:
"I'm not annoyed, but I'm a little bored and a little anxious staying in my comfortable nest all day long."

"Nervous? What are you nervous about?" Du Weiguo was successfully aroused by him.

Hanwen cleared his throat, put on a serious expression, and said solemnly: "Boss, I understand our current situation. It seems to be at its peak, but in fact it is like sailing against the current. If we don't move forward, we will fall behind."

"We are all evil spirits, so we cannot be content with the status quo. We must keep improving in order to face unknown challenges."

Glancing at Du Weiguo's face again, Hanwen licked his lips and continued:
"A sword is sharpened by grinding, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. The real tricks I encountered were all practiced in actual combat. I don't want to stay where I am. I am very panicked."

"Haha~ Good fellow, you're still trying to talk nonsense to me?"

Du Weiguo was amused by him, but then he patted Hanwen on the shoulder and suddenly changed the subject:
"Hanwen, you have matured a lot, but don't worry, the time for you to exert your strength is still to come. Wait for me to deal with all these rotten things in front of me.

By then, I will be stationed in St. Georgetown, and there will be many important things to do. By then, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to show your talents."

What he said was half true and half false, but it was enough to fool Hanwen. The boy was really excited.

"Really? Boss, please don't lie to me."

Hanwen's face turned red, and his eyes were shining. The few kids who were eavesdropping in the cabin also looked at him with burning eyes.

Of course, why would I lie to you? Du Weiguo rolled his eyes at him unhappily.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"Everyone present here will have a share. When the time comes, I will take you to see the civilization of the universe!"

"Sir! I got an idea!"

Everyone was about to cheer when Duran's shout suddenly came from the deck.

Before she finished her words, Du Weiguo disappeared from the spot like a ghost, and appeared on the deck in just two steps.

"where?"

"3:, in the bushes." Duran gave a direction in a deep voice.

Looking in the direction she reported, I saw a guy in a ghillie suit lying on a tall broad-leaved tree in the rainforest a few kilometers away from the pier.

He hid very well and almost blended in with the surrounding environment. Even if you looked closely, it was not easy to find him.

However, when he met the stupid guys like Duran and Du Weiguo, he could only admit that he had bad luck.

At this moment, he was holding a radio detonator that looked like a mobile phone in his hand, and was watching the movements on the water through a telescope.

"Xiao Lan, when you are close enough, just kill him! Give his brother a quick death."

After thinking it over again and again, Du Weiguo finally gave up the idea of ​​capturing him alive for interrogation and gave a cold order.

"Yes!"

There was a gleam of cruelty in Duran's eyes. She would not show mercy. She almost hated these bastards who made her look bad in front of Du Weiguo.

A few minutes later, when the Mermaid was 2 kilometers away from the dock, Duran put the sniper rifle on his shoulder without hesitation and pulled the trigger without even aiming.

"Bang!" A low gunshot rang out.

The sniper rifle Duran used was an experimental model specially made for her by the St. George Arsenal. It was made entirely of titanium alloy, was silver-gray in color, and had a very sci-fi feel.

The gun is 157 centimeters long, almost as long as her height, and its effective range is up to 2500 meters.

Even the bullets are specially made tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets with great striking kinetic energy, almost as good as the Barrett of later generations.

However, this gun also has a problem, that is, the recoil is extremely huge, ordinary people can't withstand it at all, just one shot will shatter the shoulder.

As for Duran, she had previously suffered a serious shoulder injury and doctors determined that she was permanently disabled.

But she is a person with special abilities after all, and her physical condition cannot be measured by the standards of ordinary people. Now, not only has she recovered, but after going through hellish training, she is even better than before.

"puff!"

Two seconds later, the lurker hiding in the jungle had his entire head exploded, leaving nothing above the neck. The headless corpse slid down from the tree like a rag bag.

"Well done, Xiaolan. Your shooting skills are now excellent! You are already considered one of the best marksmen."

Du Weiguo tapped her helmet gently to encourage her.

He was not exaggerating. Duran's marksmanship was no less than that of Huo Wei and Ellie. With the added bonus of his X-ray vision and customized sniper rifle, he had even surpassed the couple.

"Hehe~"

Hearing the compliment, Duran smiled, and his beautiful big eyes curved into crescent shapes.

"Also, your gun is pretty good too. When you're done, get me one that's exactly the same as yours."

"Okay, sir, leave it to me." Duran's tone became more cheerful, and the previous dejection was swept away.

A few minutes later, when Du Weiguo and his party boarded the simple pier of Carlos Island, the last rays of sunset had just set.

"Boss, the news has spread from Uncle Li." Hanwen put down the walkie-talkie and trotted to Du Weiguo.

"Speak." Du Weiguo didn't look at him. His hawk-like eyes looked around the swamp-covered island.

"The martial law in Saint Georgetown has been completed, and the upstream and downstream of the river have also been blocked. In three hours, the entire island will be blocked, ensuring that not even a bird can fly out."

After a pause, he continued:

"Also, I just contacted Guo Fu. The research institute is safe and sound and has not been attacked."

Du Weiguo nodded without comment: "Okay, we will set off immediately, march quickly, and go straight to the research institute."

"Yes." Everyone responded loudly, their morale soaring.

Carlos Island is not small in size, covering more than ten thousand acres. It is an irregular circle in shape, with dense jungles and countless swamps of various sizes. The environment is extremely harsh.

The St. George's Second Research Institute is located near the origin of the island.

This was originally a natural underground cave. During World War II, it was built into a secret base by the British Army with unknown purpose.

Later it was discovered by Su Li that it was rebuilt on the original basis and the entire structure was made of reinforced concrete.

Normally, all supplies are replenished by airdrops at night.

Even though Du Weiguo and his group were all people with special abilities, it still took them a full hour and a half to reach the vicinity of the research institute.

Everyone was a little out of breath, especially Du Nan. He had nearly 500 kilograms of equipment and it was incredible that he could keep up with the team.

While everyone was resting, Du Weiguo climbed up a big tree, looked far away, and glanced around. He was sure that no one had been nearby recently.

Lost it!
There are two possibilities. First, Yu Hanliang and his team have already landed on the island, but they have not arrived yet. Second, he discovered something and temporarily canceled the operation, and the future was changed again.

Du Weiguo was more inclined to the second possibility. He couldn't remember exactly when it started, but his enemies seemed to have the ability to predict the future and were always able to avoid danger and seek good fortune.

He was particularly impressed by how Marsal had survived a desperate situation on the island, and how the landlords of Hong Kong Island had foreseen the future and acted decisively like a gecko cutting off its tail.

"Could it be that one of my enemies is also a predictor?"

Du Weiguo frowned and whispered to himself.

"Boss, what should we do now? Should we go to the research institute?"

Hanwen's voice came, interrupting his thoughts.

"No, let's stay on guard outside and wait until daybreak."

At the same time, in the pristine rain forest on the other side of Carlos Island, several people were squatting in the jungle watching the movements on the riverside.

"Boss, they've closed the island. Our purpose has indeed been exposed. Judging from the situation, the entire river is probably closed. What should we do now?"

A dark and thin man asked in a low voice. Although he was not good-looking, his voice was very nice, deep, clear, a perfect baritone.

If Du Lan and Du Tie were present, they would instantly recognize that he was Tao Tianxiang, whom Du Weiguo called a skunk.

Yu Hanliang shook his head, his tone a little low:
"Not only the river, the entire city is probably sealed off now. I was careless. I never thought I would actually meet the evil spirit himself."

"Boss, this is all my fault. It's my fault that I didn't recognize him right away and stupidly introduced him to you."

The person who spoke was the smart young man who had once received Du Weiguo. At this moment, he was holding a rifle, his face full of regret and annoyance.

Yu Hanliang shook his head and patted his shoulder.

"Okay, Xiaowu, this is not your fault. Your level is not high enough, and you haven't seen his photo. Besides, this guy showed up so suddenly that no one could have expected him."

The dark and thin Tao Tianxiang looked far away in the direction of Carlos Island and said in a faint voice:
"There's been no sound from the dock yet. The third brother must have died."

"Alas~" Yu Hanliang sighed:
"We are facing the evil spirit. This time we sneaked into Quiana, which was a mission with no chance of survival. But now that he has returned, I am afraid we cannot complete our mission." (End of this chapter)
