Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 153 Tracking, New Toys
Shanying drove the car left by the deceased and started tracking northward...

Shanying didn't think that the gunmen who took the place of the dead would continue to flee along the highway because it would be too easy to be blocked.

He was not looking for the gunman who replaced the deceased, but the killer.

Shanying had thrown a "dyed grenade" at that guy before. The dye sprayed from the inside of the grenade was colorless and odorless, and once it touched the skin, it would penetrate inside and could not be washed off without ten days or half a month.

Although the effect of the dye is not visible to the naked eye, under the action of night vision goggles, the dye will produce an effect similar to that of IR light, and will increase the observable distance exponentially depending on the size of the contaminated area.

And wherever the killer passed by, the dripping sweat or even just brushing against the grass would leave traces that could be tracked.

It is very dark now, and Shanying wants to find the killer's trace before dawn.

His current target was the first exit heading north on Highway 7. He believed that with the killer's shrewdness, he would definitely get there early.

As long as Shanying could find any clues, he would chase them in one direction...

The car drove north for about half an hour, and Shanying saw several pickup trucks that had been driven for the deceased and the stolen evidence vehicle parked in the emergency lane on the side of the road...

Several police cars coming from Bangkok stopped in the opposite lane. A dozen police officers stood behind the police cars with guns raised and kept calling for support. No one dared to approach the pickup truck...

Shanying frowned and parked the car about a hundred meters away from the pickup truck. Then he pushed the door, got out, and used the radio several times before he contacted the Bangkok police opposite.

The major case in Pattaya alarmed most of the police in Bangkok and Pattaya. These were the teams arranged by the headquarters to go to Pattaya for support.

I learned that they had just arrived and had stopped when they saw the evidence car parked on the road...

Shanying held up the radio in his hand and waved to signal the group to pay attention to the identification of friend or foe, then he slowly approached the direction where the pickup truck was parked with his gun at hand.

It was not until it entered the 50-meter detection range of the Hummingbird kit that Mountain Eagle realized there was no one in the pickup truck.

This discovery surprised Shanying. He thought that these gunmen who took the place of the deceased would have to run to the next exit before turning off the highway. Unexpectedly, these people only ran for more than 30 kilometers before abandoning their means of transportation...

When coming, Shanying observed the vehicles in the opposite lane. Because it was already the second half of the night, Shanying only encountered three or four vehicles since the start, which were simply not enough to accommodate the escaped gunmen and so much money.

The opponent should not change cars either, because changing cars on the highway does not make much sense...

If the police blocked the intersection, it would be useless for them to change cars because the fighting would block traffic and no cars would be heading north. Even if they changed cars, they would be stopped.

If the police were unable to block the road in time, changing cars at this critical moment would be meaningless except for wasting time, which would delay their escape.

Feeling a little strange, Shanying ran to the evidence car and checked it out. The things in the car were turned upside down, and the cash and all the computer hard drives that were used as evidence were taken away.

What surprised Shanying was that there was a dead Crime Investigation Bureau agent lying in the compartment of the evidence vehicle. His pockets were turned out and his wallet was thrown next to him without a penny left.

Shanying was very confused. What kind of vicious criminal could be so cruel that he would even steal a policeman's wallet in such a tense situation?

The other party is either not clear-headed or very clear-headed but extremely greedy.

Shanying prefers the latter...

Because Tessa said that these substitutes would kill someone for a hundred or two hundred dollars!

Shanying walked around several cars, notified the police on the opposite lane by radio that they could come over, and then he stood by the fence of the highway and looked down...

Below the highway is a forest of weeds. On the other side of the forest is a road similar to a national highway. Next to the road is a small gas station. Next to the gas station is a roadside motorcycle repair shop...

With the help of low-light night vision, Mountain Eagle can clearly see the surrounding environment. When he turned his attention to searching outside the road, he found signs of someone passing through the grass under the roadbed of the highway.

Without even bothering to greet the police, Shanying jumped off the highway and followed the trail into the woods...

After walking along the traces left by the deceased for about 15 minutes, Mountain Eagle came to the edge of the woods and took a look.

Looking at the detected images, the mountain eagle jumped out of the woods, trotted across the road and entered the gas station.

This was a small gas station with only two gas pumps. Shanying broke into the small supermarket with a gun and saw two bodies of gas station employees lying on the ground...

He reached out to check and found that the bodies of the two gas station employees were still a little warm, which meant that they might have been killed not long ago.

Shanying used the radio to inform the police on the highway about the situation at the gas station, and then tried to find the surveillance camera at the gas station...

Just as he stood up, he saw a bright green mark on the computer mouse at the supermarket checkout counter.

Realizing that the killer had gotten ahead of him, Shanying went around to the cashier counter, picked up the mouse and dragged back a section of the gas station's surveillance videos... About 20 minutes ago, a group of people rushed out of the woods carrying large and small bags. Most of them went straight to the motorcycle repair shop next to them, but a few guys without backpacks went straight to the supermarket at the gas station...

The gas station employee didn't even have time to escape, and was beaten to death on the spot by the guys who rushed in...

Through another camera, Shanying discovered that the guys who beat to death the gas station employee looked like teenagers.

After killing the people, they did not forget to steal the cash in the cash register, and also stole a large amount of chocolate and several cans of Red Bull.

After they rushed out, more than a dozen motorcycles drove out from the repair shop next to them, and two people on each motorcycle fled in the north and south directions respectively.

Soon a guy wearing a helmet walked into the supermarket. Like Shanying, he first checked the two bodies and then walked to the checkout counter to start checking the surveillance.

A few minutes later, the guy in the helmet started his motorcycle and chased towards the north side of the road.

Shanying quickly dragged the surveillance screen to take a look, and soon he walked out of the gas truck and came to the car repair shop next to it. The surveillance camera at the gas station captured part of the car repair shop...

There used to be more than 7 motorcycles parked in front of the repair shop, but now there are only left.

The door of the repair shop was wide open. Shanying went in to check and found that there was no one inside. There were a few motorcycle keys scattered on the tattered office desk.

Shanying guessed that this should be a base for the dead, and the owner of the repair shop was the substitute for the dead, so there were no bodies left here.

Shanying didn't stay for long. He picked up the motorcycle key on the table and walked out. He found a Honda Monkey 125 that was in good condition. He tried it with the key and it started up...

After twisting the accelerator a few times to get a feel for it, Shanying skillfully shifted gears and drove towards the road, chasing north...

Although the gunmen fled left and right, Mountain Eagle was staring at the killer...

There were light tubes in the supermarket just now, so the traces left on the mouse were not particularly obvious, but when Shanying turned off the headlights of the motorcycle and drove forward, the traces left on the road began to become clear.

As the road bumps, sweat or dye-stained liquid from the killer's body will fall to the ground from time to time.

These faint traces cannot be seen by the naked eye, but with the help of low-light night vision, those green bright spots are like fireflies in the dark, guiding the mountain eagle all the way to the north.

When the sky began to lighten, the mountain eagle chased to a dilapidated seafood processing factory...

A few kilometers south of the processing plant is a fishing dock, and people started to move around on the dock around 5 a.m.

There is a large open area around the processing plant, and if you barge in rashly you will definitely be discovered.

Shanying parked his motorcycle about 500 meters away from the processing plant. He parked his motorcycle side by side with the killer's motorcycle, then carefully broke into a mixed wood along the dye that was becoming less clear due to the sunlight.

Following the killer's footprints, we circled through the woods and went to the back of the processing plant...

Seeing the traces left by the killer extending into the processing plant, Shanying pushed the safety of the AK105, hesitated for a moment, connected the Sergeant System, spent a lot of precious raw materials, and upgraded the Hummingbird Kit to the 'Golden Cicada Kit'...

There was no change in the tactical glasses and the pickup headphones, except that the hummingbird, which used to be half the size of a palm, had become a golden cicada, which was only the size of a thumb.

This is a new product produced after the Master Chief System "eats" the "plutonium", and because of the production of this new product, some of the "plutonium" was also consumed...

The difference between the cicada and the hummingbird is that its detection range is longer!

In the past, the ultrasonic waves released by the Hummingbird Kit could only allow the Eagle to "see" scenes within a radius of 50 meters. Anything beyond 50 meters would be chaos.

Moreover, its usage time is limited. After more than 2 hours, the Hummingbird will remind the Mountain Eagle that it needs to be charged.

But the Golden Cicada is obviously different. It has more energy and is obviously more powerful. Its ultrasonic detection distance can reach 200 meters, and 200 meters is not the limit...

From being clearly visible within a range of 50 meters, to being clearly visible within a range of 100 meters, to being roughly visible within a range of 150 meters, to being vaguely visible within a range of 200 meters...

The detection effect of Jinchan gradually decreases outward, but even if it exceeds 200 meters, it is still effective if the environment is suitable.

Especially in places with relatively less interference such as desert plains, the actual combat effectiveness of the Golden Cicada will be magnified.

The role of the radioactive substance 'Plutonium' seems to have replaced some key materials provided by the master chief system...

It not only improves energy storage and increases power, but also improves the computing power inside the Hummingbird Kit, allowing it to process "images" 200 meters away...

Although the image 200 meters away is blurry like an illusion, when fighting with the enemy in the dark, even if the enemy can be discovered one second in advance, the Mountain Eagle can gain an advantage.
