"Alas, although I don't regret the undercover elimination operation two years ago, it has been two years and the organization is still in the recovery stage. The progress is too slow." After agreeing on the requirements and time of the report task with Uozuka Saburo, Rum hung up the phone and looked at the table full of documents he had visited. He scratched his already thin hair in distress.

'It seems that we need to think of some other methods.'

310: On-site

Regardless of what method Rum had come up with to solve the problem of insufficient manpower in the organization, Uozuka Saburo already understood why Rum said that Thompson would be more anxious than himself.

After entertaining Uozuka Saburo and Liu Hu with a simple yet unusual banquet, Thompson only gave Uozuka Saburo one night's rest. Early the next morning, he asked his men to call Uozuka Saburo and Liu Hu to his wooden house, and straightforwardly revealed his current difficulties and the tasks that needed Uozuka Saburo to be responsible for.

"So, we are going to help find the hard drive that Mr. Thompson wants, right? It's really a troublesome job."

Sitting in the co-pilot seat, Saburo Uozuka kept looking through the information Thompson gave him and shook his head helplessly.

The content of the materials is actually very limited, and most aspects were told to Uozuka Saburo face to face by Thompson.

However, Uozuka Saburo was somewhat unwilling to give up, and still wanted to find some parts from the known information that would be beneficial to his actions.

After all, analyzing the difficulty level of this mission from the existing data, it can already be ranked in the top two among the missions that Uozuka Saburo encountered after officially working for the organization.

"Well, if it wasn't troublesome, Lao Tang wouldn't have asked us to help, right? You know, Andre is the most powerful person under Lao Tang. Asking the three of us to team up and act together is definitely not a joke."

Holding the steering wheel with one hand, Liu Hu glanced through the rearview mirror with a smile at Andre who was folding his arms and squinting his eyes.

That's right. In the following operations, in addition to Saburo Uozuka who came to help because of the organization's transaction requirements, Liu Hu also stayed, saying that he wanted to work with Saburo Uozuka. As for Andre, it was Thompson who took the initiative to ask to join. After all, compared to Saburo Uozuka who didn't know much about Russia, and Liu Hu who was responsible for contacting Thompson all year round but lived in China most of the time, Andre, who was born and raised and mainly helped Thompson deal with Russian affairs, was undoubtedly the most reliable person in the team.

"I am honored to be able to carry out this first mission with you two. I think this experience will be unforgettable for me." After hearing Liu Hu's words, Andre in the back seat smiled and opened his eyes.

Unlike the four men who were knocked down by Uozuka Saburo at the village gate before, Andre's personality made Uozuka Saburo feel more comfortable. He was humorous enough when communicating and was not reluctant to make a joke at the appropriate time.

Of course, Uozuka Saburo felt that this had a lot to do with the fact that he had demonstrated enough strength when they just met, and that Liu Hu beside him was no pushover either.

Yes, although he has not seen Liu Hu in action with his own eyes, but from some small details in their daily interactions and the aura that Liu Hu occasionally brings to him, Uozuka Saburo can be sure that Liu Hu is definitely a powerful and ruthless person.

He must have seen blood on his hands.

"I am looking forward to this as well. After all, I haven't experienced carrying out a mission by means of an elite team for a long time." He nodded with a smile. On the one hand, he wanted to follow Andre's words and lightly reveal the background of the organization. On the other hand, Uozuka Saburo himself did think so.

Having a good partner to work with makes people feel very refreshed when completing the task.

In this regard, Daimon Miyuki has already spoiled Uozuka Saburo very well.

"Well, if you guys are so motivated, then just work harder. It would be best if I were the only one responsible for driving from start to finish." Exhaling a puff of smoke, Liu Hu looked at the two enthusiastic people, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He really had no motivation. If Lei Qiang hadn't asked him to follow him, Liu Hu would not have wanted to get involved in this troublesome matter.

"Oh, I've seen the sign, and then turn right, right?" After jokingly saying a few words, when the jeep had driven about five or six kilometers, Liu Hu's voice once again broke the quiet atmosphere in the car.

"That's right. Drive up the mountain from this direction. The snow is not very thick now, and the car should be able to drive up easily." Andre poked his head out from behind, looked at the sign that Liu Hu was pointing at, and nodded affirmatively.

When he saw the same sign, Saburo Uozuka's eyes flickered.

The three people's action plan was decided from the beginning.

Before heading to the base hidden in the mountains and forests, Saburo Uozuka wanted to go to the area where the accident happened to Vodka in person.

"Okay, call me when you stop." His men moved quickly, and Liu Hu drove the jeep skillfully up the hillside. After driving on the ups and downs of the hillside for about ten minutes, he was stopped by Andre.

After turning off the car and hiding for a while, Andre checked the rifle he took out from the trunk, nodded to Liu Hu and Uozuka Saburo, then took the initiative to walk to the front and lead the way for about twenty minutes.

"That's it." Hidden on the top of a reverse slope, Andre held up a telescope and observed a village in the relatively flat valley below.

"Is it a village?" Lying next to Andre, Uozuka Saburo was also holding a telescope and quickly scanning the village in all four directions.

Rather than ascertaining the situation in the village, both Uozuka Saburo and Andre focused their attention on the surrounding jungle.

"I didn't find any traces of anyone. It seems that no new people came here after I left last time."

With a slight sigh of relief, Andre put down the telescope and nodded to Saburo Uozuka beside him.

"Go down and take a look?"

"Of course." Without hesitation, Uozuka Saburo, who also observed the area and found no problems, made the same decision.

Now that I'm here, how can I not go and take a look?

"Brother Liu, I'll leave the security up there to you. If there's any situation, call us on the communication channel. Andre and I will go down and take a look."

"Don't worry, leave this to me." After making an OK gesture to Uozuka Saburo, Liu Hu continued to hide on the reverse slope and took off the rifle with a scope that he had been carrying on his back.

"Then let's go down." Seeing that Liu Hu was ready, Uozuka Saburo did not hesitate. He and Andre first moved about 100 meters to the east side, and then quickly walked down the slope towards the deserted village.

“The scale of this village doesn’t seem very big.”

"After all, it's just a temporary residence where we live occasionally. We may use it less than twice a year. It mainly provides a sheltered space in windy and snowy weather." After explaining casually, Andre and Uozuka Saburo were already standing on the edge of the village, and they sighed as they looked at the village that had turned into ruins.

"But I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

311: Action Begins!

It is called a small village, but judging from the foundations of the remaining ruins, there are probably no more than 20 wooden houses in total.

The burning wooden planks under his feet made crackling sounds. Uozuka Saburo squinted his eyes and saw a somewhat broken corpse not far from his feet.

"Are all the bodies here so incomplete?"

"It's hard to say, but based on my concerns, it should be about the same." Shaking his head with a wry smile, he followed the direction of Uozuka Saburo to look at the broken corpse that could not be recognized except by professionals like them. Andre was also full of helplessness.

"When I found this place, the whole village had been burned down by the fire. I was in a hurry to leave, so after I was sure that Mr. Zhang Yi was not found, I took some photos and left."

"This is inside the mountains. Even if the corpse is burned, there will still be many animals that don't mind replenishing their nutrition now that they are already squirming." Looking at the surrounding woods, Andre said something that was a little cold but absolutely realistic.

"I see. Based on the photos, Mr. Andre has determined that the location of the fire is right there." Nodding to indicate that he knew, Uozuka Saburo walked in two or three steps to the place in the village that was most burned and destroyed.

Looking at the big pit in front of him and the frozen soil crushed by high temperature and high pressure, Uozuka Saburo couldn't help but sigh.

This kind of damage cannot be caused by just grenades. Could it be that individual rocket launchers were used in the battle in this village?

"The reason the village caught fire is that during the battle, their exchange of fire detonated the gasoline and ammunition that you had hidden here as backup. In addition, due to the wooden houses and the wind direction in the valley, the entire village caught fire, right?" Recalling what Andre had said to him in the car before, Uozuka Saburo swept around the center of the explosion, moved quickly, and after wandering around the village, he returned to the big pit.

"Yes, that's my judgment."

"That's the right judgment. I think so too." Pursing his lips, Uozuka Saburo looked back at the pit.

Because it was covered with a layer of snow that was neither thin nor thick, Uozuka Saburo did not have the energy to clean up the place completely and could only observe it relatively carefully.

Apart from some scattered bones and broken weapons, it was difficult for Saburo Uozuka to find anything useful in here.

"Huh~ It seems that we can't find anything here." Taking out the camera from the backpack, Saburo Uozuka took dozens of photos in all directions with a serious expression.

This was something he wanted to give to Rum. He hoped that Rum could look through these photos and see if he could find something that he had not noticed.

"I didn't notice that." His eyes flickered slightly, and Uozuka Saburo aimed the camera at the edge of the pit, where he had cleared the snow and exposed a broken pistol handle.

"It seems that if we want to know more, we can only start from our next target."

After taking all the photos he needed and heading to the hillside to meet up with Liu Hu, Uozuka Saburo turned his head for the last time and took a deep look at the village in the valley.

"If possible, I really don't want to agree to your crazy plan."

Scratching his head in distress, Liu Hu, who was walking behind Uozuka Saburo and Andre, sounded helpless.

"It's ridiculous to attack the experimental base with just three people."

"No, no, Brother Liu, it's not a simple experimental base, Andre. I remember what the information provided by Mr. Thompson said?" Smiling and shaking his head, he walked out of the depressing atmosphere of the village, Saburo Uozuka turned his head and looked at Andre and smiled.

"There are about 200 garrison personnel. Although we don't know the enemy's organization and actual combat strength, there is absolutely no problem with firearms, ammunition and various mechanical defense devices. In terms of quantity, it is also quite exaggerated." Shrugging, Andre took over the words of Saburo Uozuka and said with a chuckle.

"Well, it does sound a bit unreasonable, but fortunately, our mission is an infiltration mission, not an annihilation mission, so we don't need to fight to the death with those 200 people."

"Do you think there is any difference between the two?" Liu Hu stared at Uozuka Saburo and Andre with a pair of dead fish eyes.

"Even if you infiltrated well before, you will still be exposed when you want to get the hard drive. Don't forget, no matter how we plan, when we evacuate, we only have one option, which is to rush out under the enemy's defensive firepower."

"So, why don't we just charge? At this point, we don't have any other choice, right?" He smiled and put his arm around Liu Hu's shoulders. Taking advantage of his taller height, Uozuka Saburo pressed half of his body on him, deliberately making Liu Hu's body sway for a bit before he could support himself.

"You have to have confidence in yourself, Brother Liu. What did you tell me on the way here? You have skills that ten people can't match. I've always wanted to see it~"

"Stop talking nonsense. More than ten people can't get close to me, but I have a gun! There's no need to get close to me!" Liu Hu growled and pushed Uozuka Saburo away with his elbow, then lit a cigarette in a bad mood.

"That's not the case. If we enter the base, we will be fighting inside the building most of the time. In close range, we may have to rely on hand-to-hand combat to deal with many enemies." Andre reached out to take a cigarette from Liu Hu, then stroked his beard thoughtfully with the cigarette in his mouth.

"See, I was right, wasn't I? Brother Liu, you are a martial artist after all, you should know that within seven steps, the fist is faster, and beyond seven steps, the spear is faster!"

"I know you uncle!"

. . .

"Is this the base? Seriously, we might still have time to leave now."

On a cliff facing the wind, Liu Hu looked at the military research base about 600 meters away, surrounded by cliffs on three sides and hidden in the mountains. He took a deep breath despite the cold air.

"We're already here, Brother Liu, please stop joking." After stretching his stiff fingers, Saburo Uozuka carefully observed the situation at the distant base through the telescope.

"The intensity of the protection and alert is not very high, but then again, a place like this is not something that anyone can easily find."

"That's right, and the wind and moon are getting stronger and stronger. If the weather forecast goes as planned, the snow will get heavier from 22 p.m. until 16 p.m. tomorrow afternoon, which will be very beneficial to our operations!"

"So, you finally decided to go?"

"Well, let's go." Taking a deep breath, Uozuka Saburo moved away from the edge of the cliff.

"The action has begun!"

312: No matter which situation it is, it is not good

The sky had become completely dark. Even if there were powerful enough searchlights on the walls surrounding the base, it would be difficult to fully detect the surrounding environment. Not to mention that as time passed, the gradually increasing wind and snow covered the sky and the earth like a curtain.

However, the security personnel in the base are no longer surprised by this situation.

After all, every winter, the base where they are located will become like this, accompanied by wind and snow all day long.

They do have some vigilance, but the location of this base is indeed too hidden, and there are no special tasks to participate in every year. They only need to complete the research tasks assigned by the superiors. Over time, in addition to daily training and daily patrols in accordance with rules and regulations, the soldiers in this base have not experienced what combat is like for a long time.

"call!"

With a light breath, Saburo Uozuka lowered his body and stood on a high lookout tower on the south side of the military base. He held the sentry whose neck he had broken with both hands and placed him behind the low wall of the tower.

"Is the position of the rope ready?" Observing the lights and patrolling soldiers below, Uozuka Saburo lowered his voice and asked behind him.

"It's already been found. In terms of distance, there is no problem at all." Nodding, Liu Hu, who was wearing a white and gray snow suit, gave a thumbs up to Uozuka Saburo and took the gun on his back in his hand.

"Okay, then let's proceed according to the plan. I'll leave it to you, Brother Liu." Knowing that Liu Hu could do the job properly, Uozuka Saburo didn't want to waste time.

"Leave it to me. But according to the information we observed before, you only have 20 minutes from the time this patrol leaves to the time it returns."

"Twenty minutes is enough. When we evacuate, Lao Liu, you can use the catapult to leave by yourself, and then drive to point B to pick us up." Compared with Liu Hu, Andre, who was equipped with lighter equipment, leaned against the low wall and quickly locked onto the entrance of their plan.

"Lao Lu, 30 seconds left."

"I'm ready." After making a gesture of receipt, Saburo Uozuka and Andre both fell silent, staring at the situation below with burning eyes.

"The time has come!" Time passed slowly, and with Liu Hu's soft thought, Uozuka Saburo and Andre moved from stillness and quickly rushed down the tower where the three of them were before.

"Tsk tsk, young people are really good. They are so active that it's scary." Looking at the figures of Uozuka Saburo and Andre going away, Liu Hu said something subtle, then placed his rifle on the edge of the low wall.

"Although I don't have to go down with you, there are still many things I need to pay attention to."

"It's been a while since we've had this kind of action, so it's hard not to get a little excited now."

. . .

The assignment of tasks is very clear and simple.

Liu Hu, who was the best sniper among the three, provided cover and observation at the high tower position that the three had previously selected. After discovering any sudden situation, he immediately informed Uozuka Saburo and Andre.

What Saburo Uozuka and Andre are responsible for is to sneak into the military base as quickly as possible, find the person in charge of the base office who is carrying the safe containing the hard drive according to the intelligence provided by Thompson, and then force him to open the safe and obtain the hard drive that Thompson wants.

"The infiltration went more smoothly than we thought."

Moving quickly against the wall at the corner, Saburo Uozuka and Andre looked at each other, and saw surprise and helplessness in each other's eyes.

It seems that the level of the security personnel in this base is lower than they imagined.

Saburo Uozuka and Andre were both prepared to fight and force a breakthrough in case of any emergency. As a result, they had penetrated deep into the military base without encountering any obstacles.

"Is the office just ahead?" After carefully leaning forward and making sure that there were still no patrol officers on the road ahead, Saburo Uozuka made a gesture to Andre to move forward.

"Yes, it's right in front. According to the intelligence collected by the leader, that person will definitely be drinking coffee in the office at this time. Be careful. After we push open this door, the nature of our actions will change."

"Don't worry, I understand." Taking a deep breath, Saburo Uozuka, who had already prepared himself mentally, gave a thumbs up and put his hand on the handle of the office.
