Dragon Clan: Avoid the College Entrance Examination to Slay the Dragon

Chapter 66 Cargo
A hail of gunfire erupted from the first floor of the building as the assault team led by Bai Zhenguo was mopping up the remaining enemy troops. A small woman's figure flashed through the windows of the second floor, stalking the corridors with an Uzi submachine gun in hand, while bullet casings rained down from the air.

Suddenly, a crimson heat source somewhere on the third floor flickered in the thermal imaging field of view. Ye Sheng adjusted the focus, trying to see the outline of the rectangular object. Is it some kind of precision instrument? Or
"We've basically cleared the first and second floors." Bai Zhenguo's voice suddenly boomed through the headset. "What's the situation on the third floor?"

"I'm still looking for the heat source." Ye Sheng's index finger rested lightly on the trigger. "It's not big, but the temperature is abnormal. It might be high explosives."

"Then I'll go up and help you lure the snake out of its hole!"

"Wait—" Ye Sheng hadn't finished speaking when Bai Zhenguo kicked open the fire door and rushed in. Shotgun blasts roared in the corridor.

"Found it!" Ye Sheng's pupils suddenly shrank. The hot object was moving towards the corridor!

Bai Zhenguo had just smashed a drug dealer's Adam's apple with the butt of his rifle when he heard the sound of metal rollers hitting the ground. Behind the blood-stained glass, a shirtless man was running furiously, pushing a silver metal box, its surface gleaming dark red with blood.

"Alchemical bomb!" Bai Zhenguo roared and rushed forward. Seeing this, the strong man suddenly pulled open the pull ring on the side of the box, and the entire metal box began to vibrate at a high frequency.

"boom!"

Gunfire rang out, and Ye Sheng's 7.62mm bullet accurately penetrated the sturdy man's ankle, sending the uncontrolled metal box grazing the guardrail and flying into the air. Bai Zhenguo jumped up from the wall, holding the bomb and falling heavily into the sandbag bunker.

"Fuck!" Bai Zhenguo held down the restless metal box. The sound of mechanical gears clattering could be heard from inside the box. "It's actually an alchemical bomb! Where did these bastards get it?"

Ye Sheng's crosshairs swept across every window on the third floor: "Now is not the time to talk about this! You continue to clear the area, I'll monitor all the exits."

The ensuing battle became incredibly efficient. Every time a drug dealer tried to poke their head out, a sniper bullet would pierce their head. The small woman followed the ventilation duct to the fifth floor and, together with the remaining commandos, eliminated the last heavy machine gunner.

Ye Sheng could hear Bai Zhenguo's heavy breathing through his earpiece: "It was demolished. Fortunately, these unscrupulous people didn't understand the detonation procedure, otherwise it would have been difficult."

Ye Sheng stood up from the sniper's position, the back of his combat uniform soaked with sweat. "It was a close call."

"Yes, but I don't know where these things come from." The skeleton folded the observation mirror into the tactical bag, and his breathing under the mask was particularly heavy.

"It's okay. I believe we can get an answer tonight."

The two of them climbed up the ladder and left the tower crane together. From a distance, they saw Bai Zhenguo pushing the sealed box towards a car.

"Send it to the rear immediately. Although it has been dismantled, it is not 100% safe." He said to the driver.

"Understood! I'll go now." The driver nodded and drove away with the dangerous goods.

Bai Zhenguo stood up and brushed off the ashes on his kneepads. His palm, like a palm leaf fan, slapped Ye Sheng's shoulder heavily, "Your marksmanship is still as good as ever!"

"so so."

"Loading."

Bai Zhenguo chuckled, then pressed the microphone, "Command Center, the main office building has been cleared. An alchemical bomb has been seized and is being transported."

"Got it. Group three will advance to the core warehouse as planned, and the office building will be taken over by the remaining groups." Schneider replied.

"Understood." Bai Zhenguo looked at Ye Sheng, "Let's go and announce the order."

As Ye Sheng turned the corner of the container, a familiar Sichuan and Chongqing accent exploded in his ears: "Little Ye! I didn't expect you to be here too." The woman walked over with her ponytail swinging.

"Comrade Liu Hongyu!" Ye Sheng put his heels together and gave an exaggerated military salute. "As expected, you are here too."

"There's nothing I can do. It's because some people can't live without me." Liu Hongyu grabbed Bai Zhenguo's earlobe.

Bai Zhenguo grinned and tilted his head: "Your sister-in-law is afraid that I will be seduced by that blonde with big waves."

"You're the only one who talks too much." The woman slapped the man on the back of the head accurately.

A muffled laugh came from beneath the skeleton mask. The surrounding specialists were already accustomed to this. Several young team members even turned their backs tacitly to check their magazines.

"Everyone, pay attention!" Bai Zhenguo rubbed his red ears and jumped onto the ammunition box. "The latest order from the headquarters is that we continue to the warehouse and check everything! We will leave in one minute."

After everyone rested for a while, Bai Zhenguo stood up.

"Go!" Following the captain's gesture, fourteen dark shadows formed a tactical formation and rushed towards the warehouse. In front of the warehouse's iron gate, Bai Zhenguo pressed Ye Sheng's shoulder and said, "Xiao Ye, try using the Word Spirit."

"it is good."

Ye Sheng closed his eyes, the blue-gray veins bulging slightly at his temples. Countless "snakes" pierced through the wall and slithered among the piles of shelves.

"Empty." His eyelashes fluttered twice. "At least there's no living thing."

Bai Zhenguo nodded, "Even though the Word Spirit found no one, we should not let our guard down!"

The fourteen team members behind him immediately divided into three tactical sectors, and the demolitionist half-knelt to check the gaps in the iron door.

"No booby traps!" he reported.

"Break the door!"

"boom!"

The moment the shotgun blast broke the door latch, a strong smell of camphor mixed with the odor of mold hit us. In the beams of tactical flashlights as the assaulters took turns charging in, hundreds of wooden boxes were piled up like a mountain, and water droplets were condensing on the damp tarpaulin.

"Area A is safe!"

"No abnormalities in Area B!"

As the teams reported back, Bai Zhenguo used his bayonet to pry open the nearest wooden crate. The wax seal broke, revealing bundles of US dollars. "Command, the warehouse is under control. Requesting further instructions."

"Command received the information and immediately launched a search."

"clear."

Bai Zhenguo looked behind him, "Everyone, spread out and search! Remember, you must stay alert!"

Ye Sheng and the skeleton walked tacitly towards the pile of goods in the southeast corner and opened a wooden box, which was full of items wrapped in plastic.

The dagger flashed with a cold light, and the moment the plastic film cracked, white crystal powder fell out.

"Methamphetamine." The skeleton picked up the powder between his fingertips and sniffed it. "It's very pure."

Ye Sheng looked back and said, "Look at the pile at the back."

Choking dust rose as the two men lifted the tarpaulin, only to find more drug boxes of the same size.

The sound of bulletproof vests shaking came from afar, and Bai Zhenguo appeared with a shotgun. "I'll take over here, you guys go inside and take a look."

Ye Sheng nodded and walked deeper.

The two men walked around the moldy cotton pile, and suddenly more than 20 dark red rectangular boxes appeared. Each one was two meters long and the surface was wrapped with iron chains.

"There's something wrong with this box." The skeleton walked up to a box.

"Team White!" Ye Sheng shouted, "We've found unusual cargo here!"

"Here they come!" Bai Zhenguo rushed over with a hydraulic shear.

After three metallic cracks, Ye Sheng and Bai Zhenguo each grabbed one end of the box lid. The skeleton stepped back three steps and aimed his gun.

The moment the lid was opened, the combined odor of preservatives and corpses made all three of them recoil. In the beam of their tactical flashlights, a scaly, blue-gray body rose and fell slightly within the transparent liquid—a humanoid creature curled up, eyes closed, as if in deep sleep.

"Oh my God! They are actually transporting this?" Bai Zhenguo took a step back.

Ye Sheng looked at the remaining boxes and said, "This is troublesome..."
