Chapter 113: The Card That Landed At Her Feet, Stunned and Shocked Everyone! (2)

In the past, there would be a village near the imperial mausoleum. The residents of the village were actually the descendants of the mausoleum guards back then. However, because it had been too long, many people had forgotten their identity. They only followed the customs passed down in the village since ancient times and guarded the mausoleum.
The problem was that even the descendants of the mausoleum guardians who had survived into the modern era were actually just ordinary people.
There were no so-called divine techniques in ancient times.
Pig Head Rong had interacted with these people a lot when he stepped into this industry. How could they have such ability?
Pig Head Rong felt his head begin to hurt. The world in front of him became more and more unreal. How did the other party kill someone? If he used a saber, how could he injure Gang Zi from a distance? Could it be that Gang Zi only had an accidental graze and had nothing to do with the mysterious saber expert?
Gritting his teeth, a fierce expression appeared on Pig Head Rong’s face. He had always been a decisive person who would not waste too much time on such illusory things. No matter who this mysterious expert was or what weapon he used to kill people, he had already come looking for him. Moreover, he was using the method of assassination to eliminate his subordinates one by one.
This meant that he actually did not have the confidence to fight him head-on. Otherwise, why would they use assassination? On their side, they still held the advantage in strength. Most importantly, the Warring States Golden Foil was definitely on him. He said fiercely, “The enemy has already come knocking on our door. Moreover, the thing we want is with him. Old Ghost.” He looked at the lackey who had been in charge of watching over Xu Jiajia. “Bring this chick to the surface!
“Black Wolf.” He turned to look at the black man. “I remember you preparing a weapon. Now it’s time to use it! You’re a mercenary. With a gun in your hand, it shouldn’t be difficult to kill him, right?
“The three of us will bring this chick and light up in the middle of the camp and sit under the light! Black Wolf, find a place to hide. As long as you see his shadow, shoot! Regardless of whether his goal is to save this chick or to kill all of us who dug up his ancestral tomb.”
Black Wolf also had a ruthless expression. He said in broken Chinese, “No matter how fast his knife is, it can’t be faster than a bullet! I want to see if he can be more powerful than an AK!”
At the same time when Pig Head Rong cut off all means of retreat on Maple Ridge and planned to use himself and Xu Jiajia as bait to force that unknown mysterious expert to appear, at the foot of the Burning Mountain, Zhou Nanhai was frowning in the minibus.
The minibus was still filled with people, but they were no longer the police officers from before. Instead, there were more than ten combatants in black combat uniforms and helmets. Even their faces were covered by black masks.
It was the SWAT team sent by Hibiscus City’s headquarters. Everyone looked at the map in front of the minibus and frowned. The minibus was silent.
It was Zhou Nanhai who broke the silence. He pointed at the map and said, “As everyone can see, this is the main topographic map of Maple Ridge. There are at least ten places where the criminals can hide.”
“Any news from our colleagues at the Municipal Public Security Bureau?” The one who spoke was Captain Wang of the SWAT team, while Zhou Nanhai shook his head.
“Pig Head Rong’s criminal gang is much more familiar with the terrain of Maple Ridge than our police. Moreover, there’s a high chance that they have hostages in their hands now, so I only got the police officers of the municipal bureau to seal off the surroundings of Maple Ridge to prevent the criminals from escaping. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, I didn’t let them go up the mountain to investigate,” he explained.
“That’s not easy.” Captain Wang frowned.
On the way here, he had already received information from the municipal bureau and knew about the mission he was about to carry out. Although Pig Head Rong’s criminal gang was professional, no matter how professional they were, the police at the city bureau were confident that they could deal with them.
However, now that the other party had suddenly taken a hostage, and it was the daughter of Commander Xu of the military, it caused the municipal bureau to be wary and ask for the help of the special police.
The SWAT team had done this many times. No matter how professional the criminal was, they were confident that they could save the hostage safely. However, this operation was different. Not only was the terrain complicated, but they did not even know where the other party was hiding.
Where could he find them in such a huge Maple Ridge? Not only would it take time and effort to search one area after another, but it might also alert the enemy and put the hostage in danger.
Captain Wang looked at the map in front of him with a solemn expression and poked a few unknown points on it. “These places have too large an open area. Furthermore, they can form a visual intersection with other hiding spots. If they are not hiding in this location, we will alert the enemy if we act rashly. If they happen to hide here, it’s inevitable that there will be hidden sentries elsewhere.”
Captain Wang’s words also fully explained the problem the SWAT team was facing. Their understanding of Maple Ridge was only limited to the map in front of them. Naturally, it could not compare to the tomb raiders who had been here all year round and used it as a stronghold.
As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. The professionalism of this group of criminals was also a headache.
If he could not find the target directly, he might alarm the other party..
