Chapter 55 Chase on the Mountain Top

Holy crap!

The group of friends surrounding Lin Dong instantly went wild.

Li Tao jumped up, his eyes wide as he pointed at the screen, exclaiming incredulously, "A gun! That's a gun!"

As a top-tier military industrial enterprise, Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) has various testing ranges within its premises, and its employees regularly undergo military training.

As family members of Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group, they were exposed to firearms and equipment from a young age and were already familiar with their basic structural principles.

The infrared footage just now clearly shows a gun firing.

The propellant in the bullet burns instantly, generating high-temperature, high-pressure gas that propels the bullet out of the barrel.

The moment the bullet leaves the barrel, these gases, now unobstructed, explode and spread at the muzzle, forming a heat source, while the still-hot bullet flies out as a red streak...

"Go quickly and call Uncle Xu and the others over."

Lin Dong was also stunned for a moment. After he came to his senses, he immediately gave instructions to Xu Qingling and at the same time raised the altitude of the drone.

But at that moment, the entire infrared sensor interface looked like a pot of boiling red rice porridge, with red spots constantly exploding and streaks of red flying wildly toward the drone.

"Holy crap, that's insane!"

"What kind of thief's den have we stumbled upon?"

Everyone was stunned.

Each person had a gun, and they would shoot at the slightest disagreement. If they weren't a vicious gang, they would have eaten them all.

"There's a big problem here."

Lin Dong pulled the drone to a safe altitude, exited the infrared sensor mode, switched to the telephoto lens, and a green mountain forest appeared in the picture.

On the surface, there was nothing unusual about this forest.

However, as Lin Dong zoomed in on the image, a farm built in the mountains came into view.

There is a sign at the gravel road leading to the farm, and the words on it can still be vaguely discerned.

—A rural family living in the mountains.

But the problem is... whose farm is this, where employees carry guns?

Even if the special campaign against organized crime hasn't started yet, it shouldn't be this outrageous.

Lin Dong thought for a moment, then looked at the four SUVs parked in front of the farm, pondering the situation inside.

"Xiao Dong, what's going on?!"

At this moment, Xu Qingming and Huang Xinhua ran over, looking at the screen in front of Lin Dong with serious expressions.

"They must have stumbled upon a drug den by accident, and happened to be there during their shipment transaction..."

Lin Dong shared his guess, and then played back the footage of the gunfight captured by the infrared sensor.

Under normal circumstances, the most common illegal and criminal activities in farms like these built in the mountains are eating protected animals, running secret casinos, or providing training services in human reproductive skills.

However, none of these actions constitute possession of a firearm.

If you get caught in these kinds of businesses, how many years will you get in prison? How much money can you make in a month? How much do you give to your underlings? Only a crazy person would go and play with guns.

But since it's not one of those things, the only possibility is a hidden drug den.

Only in this line of work, especially during a transaction, would someone be so ruthless as to carry a gun and shoot at the slightest sign of trouble.

After all, it was still 2012. The Skynet network had just begun large-scale construction and had not yet achieved full coverage, and big data analytics technology was just beginning to emerge.

At this time, many criminal activities hiding in the shadows are difficult to detect. Even Boshe Village, the prototype of Uncle Dong in the movie "The Thunder", is active until next year before it will be eradicated.

During this period, many people couldn't suppress their desire to get rich quick, but since they couldn't find other ways to get rich quickly, they would take risks and engage in these kinds of things.

"A drug den?"

Xu Ziming and Huang Xinhua gasped, watching the shooting scene unfold like fireworks. They exchanged a glance and said, "Everyone get in the cars and get out of here immediately!"

talking.

Xu Ziming quickly took out his phone, threw the unloaded items back into the car, and dialed the police.

"etc!"

But at that moment, Xu Qingling seemed to see something and pointed anxiously to the corner of the screen that wasn't covered by the playback, saying, "Lin Dong, he... they seem to be getting in the car and chasing after us!"

What?

Xu Ziming paused, tossed the last backpack back into the car, and strode to the driver's seat, yelling, "Ignore them, get in, let's drive! Their car can't catch us!"

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

On the other side, four SUVs drove out of the farm, already full of people.

In the middle car, a middle-aged man in a shirt and suit, wearing frameless glasses and with a refined demeanor, was sitting in the passenger seat. He turned his head to look at a thin young man in the back seat.

"Xiaoshan, are you sure you didn't see wrong? That thing flying in the sky just now had a camera?"

"Brother Sen, I really saw it."

The skinny young man answered earnestly, "You just asked me to keep watch, and I saw him fly over from that mountain and head straight for our farm."

Moreover, there were some things hanging from its belly, and the front lens had obvious reflections; it was clearly a drone camera from a television show.

"Brother Sen, have you found out?"

At this moment, a burly man with a buzz cut sitting in the middle of the back row put down his phone and reported to the leader: "Today, two SUVs went into the back mountain of Sanshui Village. Besides the driver, there was a group of children in the car. They looked like they were on a picnic on Saturday. The license plates were local."

"A group of kids on a picnic?"

Brother Sen paused for a moment, then laughed at the people in the car, "Normally no outsiders come to this place for three months at a time. We just arranged to ship a large batch of goods today, and suddenly some people come for a picnic. Do you believe such a coincidence?"

"I don't believe it!"

Before the others could answer, Brother Sen added, "Whether they're here for a picnic or something else, there's only one road leading to the top of the mountain from Sanshui Village, and they can't get out of there."

"Chase after them, catch them, search them to see if the thing contains a camera. If not, beat them up and let them go. If it does..."

Before Brother Sen could finish speaking, his phone suddenly vibrated twice, and a message came from an unnamed number.

[There's a mole, the police have been called, the transaction has been terminated—]

"Alright, they've called the police, so we don't need to search you anymore."

Upon seeing the pop-up message, Brother Sen casually deleted it. He looked up, picked up his binoculars, and glanced at the dust kicked up by vehicles on the distant mountain road. He chuckled and said, "Tell the brothers to be quick about it. Don't let the kids be scared for too long. The fish and shrimp in this reservoir have been hungry for quite a while..."

crunch--

Two SUVs kicked up a cloud of dust as they sped up the mountain, and a sudden stop left two deep tracks on the ground.

"Mr. Xu, there's no road!"

Huang Xinhua opened the car window, looked at the mountaintop platform in front of him, and his face immediately turned very ugly.

Upon hearing this, Huang Qingyao, Su Yue, and the others in the car all changed their expressions, turning pale and showing fear. However, due to their good upbringing, they did not lose control and scream or do anything else to cause trouble.

Xu Ziming didn't reply. He glanced at his daughter in the passenger seat, who was equally frightened but trying to remain calm, then opened the car door, jumped out, and dragged Lin Dong's suitcase containing the drone from the trunk.
