Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 498 Safe House

While a series of battles were taking place in southern Los Angeles, Shanying and his team took the car purchased by Tiffany and Dalia and turned onto Highway 138 from the north of the small town of Lancaster, then got off the highway and entered the mountains...

Tiffany drove the group from a road inside the mountains to a small road. After driving for nearly ten minutes, they found an old wooden house on a mountain near a small lake called Lake Elizabeth with Mountain Eagle.

The wooden house had obviously been unused for several years, and the mountain road was not easy to walk on. Tiffany parked the muddy car at the door of the wooden house, then pushed the door and got out with a complicated expression on her face...

After the butcher and his companions arrived, they dispersed and looked around the wooden house...

Shanying got out of the car and took a deep breath of the fresh, cool air. Then he looked at the old wooden house that could be used as a horror film shooting location and said with a smile, "This place looks a bit historic."

Tiffany glanced at the mountain eagle, walked to the bottom of the wooden house steps, flipped over a stone slab and took out a bunch of keys, then walked towards a small house next to the wooden house and said, "This was built by my grandfather. It should have a history of nearly 50 years today. I spent half of my childhood here."

As Tiffany spoke, she opened the small house with the key and quickly started the diesel generator inside.

A few minutes later, Tiffany pushed the old-fashioned switch and confirmed that the small light on the porch of the cabin was on. Then she closed the door of the cabin and locked it...

Seeing the mountain eagle waiting on the porch, Tiffany walked up and opened the door of the wooden house with the key...

The interior of the old wooden house was still a little dim even with electric lights installed. The furnishings inside seemed a little crowded, and there was dust and cobwebs everywhere. Only the children's toys piled in the corner showed that this was once a children's paradise.

The wooden house covers an area of more than 100 square meters. The living room is at the front. There is a fireplace on the left side of the living room, and a circle of old sofas surround the fireplace.

On the left side of the living room is the kitchen and dining room, and on the right are two rooms. There is also a attic on the top, which also has two rooms separated on it.

Shanying casually wiped the wall cabinet on the right side of the door, rubbed the dust off his hands, and then looked at the footprints on the ground extending into the kitchen...

Tiffany also noticed the footprints on the ground. She led everyone into the kitchen and saw several large black boxes, several large bags of canned food and several large barrels of purified water placed on the wooden dining table in the restaurant.

Shanying walked to the dining table, picked up the canned food in the food bag, looked at it, then shook his head and said, "It's really not possible to rely on a bunch of old men to help with the settlement. They only know how to buy one kind of canned food."

As Shanying said this, he looked at Daria and the butcher who were carrying large and small bags to the kitchen. He smiled at Tiffany and said, "How about it, do you know the gap between you and Daria?
Some people only know how to execute orders, but others will think about more things that are beneficial to the team while executing orders. "

Tiffany wanted to retort, but thinking that she would still have to eat and drink in the next few days, she forced a smile and walked towards the door to help outside.

When she was in the small town before, she thought Daria was crazy when she saw her "spending money recklessly" in the supermarket, but now she sees that she is indeed more thoughtful than she thought.

Shanying found a box of chewing gum from the food Dahlia bought and put a piece of it into his mouth. Then he put the gum into his pocket. Then he opened a few large boxes and took a look...

In one of the boxes were more than a dozen fully-charged prepaid cell phones, a satellite phone, eight of Shanying's most common CZ8 pistols, dozens of magazines and 75 boxes of bullets.

The other two boxes are filled with guns and bullets...

4 improved AK-105 rifles, more than 50 full magazines and dozens of boxes of bullets.

4 UMP45 submachine guns, also with more than 50 full magazines and dozens of boxes of bullets.

1 M2 shotgun, two quick-load magazines and a dozen boxes of bullets,

1 ridiculously expensive Springfield factory waypoint shotgun, plus 5 magazines and two boxes of ammunition.

Finally, there are a few plastic bombs and matching detonators, plus ten smoke bombs and ten stun bombs...

These are obviously new guns, and the bullets are produced by large manufacturers, which is enough for Shanying and his men to deal with most battles.

Especially the waypoint shotgun. Pigeon was shocked when he saw it. He picked up the extremely light shotgun which was made of carbon fiber elements and felt it.

The function of this gun is similar to that of the Remington 700, but the workmanship is completely different...

The entire handguard and buttstock are replaced with polymer materials. The buttstock is extremely light and thin, and can be folded.

In order to balance the weight increase caused by the heavy barrel, the gun body and fish bones are hollowed out.

Add in the Liupold sights and the special competition-grade 6.5mm Cree Model bullets, and the price of this long-range shooting system may exceed $3.

Pigeon picked up a 6.5mm Cree Model bullet and felt it. He said to Mountain Eagle with some excitement: "Boss, I have only seen this gun and this kind of bullet in magazines. Can I try it now?"

Shanying picked up a silencer from the box and threw it to the pigeon, saying with a smile: "Okay, put this thing on the muzzle of the gun. Although the silencer effect is very poor, it can change the tone...

We may need to stay here for a few days, so we need to keep a low profile.”

Dove waved his hand to refuse the silencer handed over by Mountain Eagle. He pulled the pirate out and said with a smile, "Don't worry, boss. I know what to do..." Mountain Eagle smiled and didn't insist. He waved to the butcher to help put the box full of ammunition in the corner of the restaurant, and then distributed three prepaid mobile phones to each person for emergency communication.

In fact, with the help of the crows, the mountain eagle can completely expand the range of its own radio communication to about 150~200 kilometers...

However, there is a saying that goes "It is better to be prepared than to be caught unprepared". The Los Angeles area and even the entire California are very large, so it is always good to be more prepared.

After checking the things that Blood Fox and the others had prepared in advance, Shanying walked out of the house with a chair and sat down on the porch...

While he was admiring the sunset on the west coast of America, Dalia quickly sorted out the things and food that could be used, and then took two sandwiches and a bottle of mineral water and handed them to Shanying...

"Boss, what should we do next?"

Shanying waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Rest, and then see how many days it will take our enemies to find our location?"

Dahlia frowned and said, "Arctic Fox has completed an operation, and South Los Angeles is very lively now...

Are we just going to sit there and wait?"

Shanying nodded slightly and said, "Waiting is very important. It will tell you a lot if the other party can find us in a few days!
There aren’t many people I can trust right now, but I can’t treat everyone as an enemy, so I want to expand the scope of trust as much as possible, otherwise we will be unable to move forward.”

Dalia understood Shanying's idea. Because the current situation was very difficult for them, the boss wanted to establish a trust strength table in this way...

The core is definitely the most trustworthy, and the more you go out, the less trustworthy it becomes.

Blood Fox and the others must be in the innermost layer, but they alone are not enough. Mountain Eagle wants to test the situation on the FBI side by letting the enemy find him for a few days.

Because the FBI had been following them to clean up the mess, they were the only ones who knew the whereabouts and general direction of the Mountain Eagle. They were also the only ones who had enough manpower and material resources to check the situation in the town in a short period of time, and at the same time use traffic probes to search for the direction of the two vehicles.

If the enemy finds this place within two days, it will prove that something has gone wrong in an important department within the FBI.

This is the worst case scenario!

On the contrary, the mountain eagle still has enough room to maneuver, so it doesn't have to fight for its life anywhere...

Dahlia looked at Shanying, who looked optimistic, with a bit of worry. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Boss, why don't we mobilize the Knights of the Round Table as well and make a bigger noise to relieve the pressure on us."

Shanying waved his hand and said, "Let Blood Fox take care of these. He has more experience in this area than us.

The Knights of the Round Table are mercenaries. I can hire them to kill people for me, but I cannot let them bear extra pressure for me. "

Dahlia has a spy mindset and doesn't particularly agree with Mountain Eagle's "kindness", especially towards the Knights of the Round Table with whom she has a grudge.

She thought for a moment and said curiously, "Boss, I don't know if it's my illusion, but your trust in the Knights of the Round Table seems to exceed that in the Arctic Fox..."

Shanying shook his head and said, “No, you are wrong. It’s not that I trust the Knights of the Round Table more, but I won’t act emotionally towards them.

Several members of the Knights of the Round Table are still in prison in Thailand...

I don't know their boss Arthur, but Galahad is a loyal man. I promised to have those guys treated well and to notify them before the prisoners were handed over.

Now that I have hired them and am preparing to introduce them to the president of an international agency to have them participate in missions with great influence, I can’t think of any reason not to trust them…”

Shanying said with a smile: "Besides, they are just working, I won't meet with them..."

While Shanying was speaking, a muffled sound came from not far away...

When Dalia shuddered and rushed out to check, there was another muffled sound...

Hearing the pirates' exclamations, Daria cursed the pigeon that was testing the gun in Russian and then returned to her boss.

Shanying looked at Dalia who was lingering beside him with a smile, and said with a smile: "Don't be lazy, clean up the room, otherwise where will I sleep at night?"

Dahlia looked at the unkempt butcher and the rough mailbox. She sighed and said, "I still have some work to do...

In fact, I brought a sleeping bag, so we can make do with it at night!"

Shanying looked at Dalia sideways and said, "It is a serious crime for an assistant to sleep with the boss..."
