54: Lay down your weapons and surrender immediately!

Yangjiao Bay, Luanshi Reef.

Yangjiao Bay is located in a remote sea area of Changle District, far from shipping lanes.

Its topography resembles a ram's horn protruding inland, hence the name Yangjiao Bay.

Because the bay is full of hidden reefs, both sailing and casting nets carry the risk of hitting reefs and dragging the bottom.

In addition, there isn't a single decent beach to be found in the entire Yangjiao Bay.

Therefore, apart from Anglers, very few people come to this place.

But Yangjiao Bay, once rarely visited, now appeared extremely lively.

In the Luanshi Reef area, on a large rock, Tian Zhen, who had been missing for a long time, watched a group of Lao Mo who had automatically Awakened their invisibility talent in the dark, his body trembling with anger:

“At this time, you actually still let them transport these things over.”

“Are you afraid we won’t die fast enough?”

“Don’t you know that China’s efforts to combat drugs have no upper limit?”

“How dare you transport so many drugs into China? Aren’t you afraid their warships will come over?”

Beside Tian Zhen, a white man wearing a fancy trench coat in the scorching heat excitedly said:

“Oh ~ my dear Zhen.”

“You should know, the same gram of shuang shi ta di qiu (double lions step on the earth) only sells for 16 US dollars in America, but in China, it can sell for nearly 200 dollars.”

“This is a profit difference of more than 10 times!”

“3 tons.”

“These 3 tons of shuang shi ta di qiu (double lions step on the earth) that I brought can earn us an additional 500 million US dollars.”

“Do you know, that’s 500 million!”

“Most listed companies don’t earn that much money in a year!”

“And we just need to bring these things along when we pick you up to return to America.”

As he spoke, he reached out and took a packet of shuang shi ta di qiu (double lions step on the earth), poked a small hole with his fingernail, and took a deep sniff:

“Oh ~, this damn feeling.”

“I really love it!”

He casually threw the white powder in his hand to a subordinate nearby, then grabbed Tian Zhen by the collar, lifting him into the air:

“Also, you damn fellow!”

“It’s one thing that you didn’t complete the task we assigned you, but you even dared to threaten us, making us help you smuggle yourself out of Chinese territory!”

“Damn it!”

“Those idiots at the top actually agreed!”

“They actually dared to send the great Charles to this godforsaken place, just to help a useless thing like you smuggle into America!”

“Yellow-skinned monkey, do you deserve to go to heaven?”

“Without these three tons of goods, do you deserve to have the great Charles descend upon this barren land?”

Tian Zhen clenched his fists, wanting to punch Charles’s crazed face hard.

But looking at his maddened eyes after sniffing the powder, and the pistols in the hands of the few people behind him, he ultimately loosened his fists, his entire body slumping powerlessly as if his spine had been removed.

As early as when he went abroad for a publicly funded trip, couldn't resist the seduction of foreign spies, and was caught with a handle by them, he no longer had a choice.

He could only go down a dark path.

Including previously leaking state secrets.

Including helping them conceal the Firefly Bug infection incident not long ago.

And also including turning a blind eye to their current drug trafficking operation.

He now only wanted to leave China quickly, to leave this place that gave him birth and raised him, but also made him restless.

“You’d better hurry up.”

“In recent years, China has already extended its Sky Net to most of its territory, allowing for real-time monitoring of all large-scale anomalies.”

“God knows if there are Sky Net satellites watching here.”

Charles sneered and then threw Tian Zhen into a puddle:

“What’s there to be afraid of?”

“As long as I want to leave, no one can stop the great Charles!”

Saying that, he raised his hands high and shouted in the darkness:

“I am God!”

Upon hearing Charles’s shouts, whether it was his bodyguards standing behind him, guarding him with guns.

Or those Lao Mo who were half in the water, carrying shuang shi ta di qiu (double lions step on the earth) on their shoulders.

They all stopped their movements, raised their hands high, and cheered in unison with Charles:

“God!”

“God!”

Amidst the cheers, Tian Xin, Tian Zhen’s daughter, carefully came to the edge of the puddle, squatted down and helped up Tian Zhen, who had blood spilling from the corner of his mouth:

“Dad… Daddy.”

“I’m scared.”

As she spoke, she secretly glanced around at the Lao Mo, who looked as if they hadn't seen a woman in generations, staring at her with covetous eyes:

“I’m really scared.”

Tian Zhen held his breath, stroked Tian Xin’s hair, and said words he himself barely believed:

“Just hold on a little longer.”

“Just a little longer and it will be fine.”

“Hold on until America, and we will surely live the happy life we never experienced before.”

... About a mile outside Luanshi Beach, in a shadowy corner.

Yang Dian lay prone in the sand dunes, looking through his binoculars at the Lao Mo on Luanshi Beach raising their hands under the dim yellow lights, and couldn’t help but be stunned:

“These guys really aren’t afraid of death, are they?”

“It’s one thing to dare to transport shuang shi ta di qiu (double lions step on the earth) to our side, but they even dare to cause such a big commotion.”

“Are they afraid we won’t notice them?”

The Angler, also lying next to Yang Dian, but only able to hear faint sounds and see blurry lights because Yang Dian had snatched the binoculars, seemed a bit anxious:

“Little comrade, you’ve been looking for a long time, it should be my turn now!”

Yang Dian waved his hand:

“Uncle, don’t make a fuss, aren’t I recording their criminal process?”

Looking at Tian Zhen, who had been thrown into the puddle, through the monocular, Yang Dian turned to the Angler and said:

“Don’t worry, you’ve made a meritorious report this time, you won’t miss out on the rewards you deserve.”

“There are even two top-level wanted criminals among that group of drug dealers whom we are currently apprehending.”

“The bonus you can get this time will probably be much more than you expected.”

The Angler’s eyes immediately lit up:

“Really?”

“Is it enough for me to be financially free for the rest of my life?”

“If it is, I’ll just resign and fish every day!”

Yang Dian gave him a thumbs up:

“If you catch anything strange in the future, remember to show it to me.”

The energy contained in the flesh and blood of anomalous creatures is much higher than that of ordinary creatures.

If possible, Yang Dian wouldn’t mind buying two anomalous creatures from others to try.

After chatting with the Angler for a couple more sentences, Yang Dian’s phone screen suddenly lit up.

He opened it and saw that Lin Mo had sent a group chat invitation on the internal network.

He casually clicked into the group chat.

The next moment, the voice call connected automatically.

A map marked with numerous blue dots, red dots, ships, armored vehicles, helicopters, and even warships, also appeared on Yang Dian’s phone screen.

【Action countdown: 30 seconds… 29 seconds… 28 seconds…】

Looking at the locations of the blue dots, armored vehicles, and helicopters closest to him, Yang Dian immediately stood up.

“Are you crazy, why are you standing up!”

“What if those drug dealers have infrared detectors and find you?”

Yang Dian shrugged his shoulders, shaking off the sand and dirt from his body:

“If they had military-grade infrared detectors, we wouldn’t have been able to hide until now; they would have sent people over long ago.”

As he spoke, he pointed to the sky again:

“Besides, our people have arrived.”

As his voice fell, the countdown on the phone screen reached zero, and hundreds of high-power searchlights instantly illuminated the coastline, making the entire Yangjiao Bay as bright as day.

A squadron of 12 armed helicopters sliced through the sky with the sound of rotating propellers, passing over Yang Dian’s head and gathering above Yangjiao Bay.

The dark muzzles of the guns under the helicopters rotated, aiming at the Lao Mo who had nowhere to hide in the daylight.

“This is the China Armed Forces Naval Special Operations Team, you are surrounded, do not make futile struggles, lay down your weapons and surrender immediately!”

“Repeating, this is the China Armed Forces, Naval Special Operations Team!”

“You are surrounded, do not make futile struggles, lay down your weapons, and surrender immediately.”
