"Information shows that the abandoned factory in Chengdong is a reserve base for the enemy, and may have hidden weapons and explosives. We will first assist the SWAT to clean up the place."

"But be aware that this may be just the enemy's bait. The real core stronghold is likely to be in the city." Qin Yuan's voice was low, but every word was filled with oppression. "The enemy could not put all its power in one place, they must have bigger plans."

Zhang Chu looked up and asked, "Instructor, if the enemy disperses its power, do we need to be responsible for the peripheral search alone?"

Qin Yuan glanced at him coldly and replied: "Before clear instructions, your mission is to reconnaissance, find the exact location of the enemy, and ensure the safe evacuation of the team. Do not act alone. Any act of leaving the team will put the team in danger."

Zhang Chu nodded and clenched the rifle in his hand: "Yes, I understand."

Yue Ming sat aside and whispered: "In places like the abandoned factory in the east of Chengdong, the enemy may be full of traps. Zhang Chu, don't be too radical later."

Zhang Chu smiled slightly and responded: "Don't worry, I learned to calm down."

Qin Yuan glanced at the two of them and said lightly: "Stop talking nonsense. After the mission begins, you will know what the difference between actual combat and drills are."

The car fell silent again, and everyone was adjusting their mindset for the upcoming mission.

After arriving in Tianming City, the team met with the special police. Although the streets of Tianming City seemed calm, Zhang Chu could feel the undercurrent of tension. Patrol police cars drove past the streets from time to time, and the riot police on the roadside were fully armed, and obviously had prepared for the worst.

In the conference room of the Criminal Police Team, the atmosphere was solemn and depressing.

The whiteboard on the wall was covered with maps of Tianming City and marking points for the target area, and several thick intelligence documents were scattered on the table. Qin Yuan stood in the middle of the conference room, his eyes were cold, and he was examining the red circle area marked on the wall, while the captain of the criminal police team Li Cheng introduced the current situation in detail.

"According to the information we have, this group of terrorists is a secret small organization with less than ten core members, but they have rich experience in explosive control and concealment." Li Cheng said in a deep voice, pointing to several red dots on the map, "These points are possible places we currently lock in. They include an abandoned factory in the east of the city, an abandoned shopping mall in the city center, and an abandoned house in a residential area."

"Information shows that they may have arranged multiple explosive devices in the city, and the time, target and scale have not been determined. If the threat cannot be eliminated in the shortest time, the consequences will be unimaginable." Li Cheng said this, paused for a moment, and his tone became more serious. "Our reconnaissance operations are limited, the urban environment is complex, and the enemy may have installed eyeliners. Any exposure will allow them to detonate the device in advance and create greater chaos."

The air in the conference room seemed to be heavier, and everyone's eyes were focused on maps and intelligence.

Qin Yuan frowned slightly, his voice calm but with a sense of oppression: "How many people are confirmed now? How much evidence do we have to have in these possible strongholds?"

Li Cheng shook his head: "There is no exact number of enemies at present. We captured an outer member, but only vague information can be obtained from him. He mentioned that the core members have a powerful remote control device that can detonate bombs at any time. At present, we speculate that at least four or five members are guarding different strongholds."

Zhang Chu stood beside him, staring at the map, and couldn't help but interrupt, "If the strongholds are scattered, the enemy is likely to distribute bombs at different locations. How can we determine the key areas?"

Li Cheng turned to look at Zhang Chu with a complicated look: "It is indeed impossible to be completely certain at the moment. We can only prioritize the abandoned factory in Chengdong based on intelligence clues. There may be their explosive reserve point. Once it is detonated, the destructive power may cover several kilometers around."

Qin Yuan nodded, his eyes as sharp as a knife: "In other words, our primary goal is to abandon the factory. After cleaning up the factory, we will gradually check other possible strongholds."

"That's right." Li Cheng then added, "But you have to note that the enemy is very cunning. Abandoned factories may be their trap. They deliberately released some clues to attract us over. The real core stronghold is likely in an abandoned mall or residential area in the city center."

Qin Yuan said coldly: "If it is a trap, we must also break through. Once the explosive reserves in the factory are detonated, the consequences cannot be ignored. Moreover, with this operation, we can further test the enemy's deployment."

Li Cheng nodded, but his expression was still solemn: "There is another thing worth noting - the enemy's communication encryption technology is very clever. We detected that they used a camouflage signal jammer, which not only blocks normal communication, but also confuses our signal positioning. This means that we may not be able to contact the rear in real time during the operation."

When Qin Yuan heard this, his brows moved slightly and his eyes turned to Duan Jinglin: "Duan Jinglin, how much can you solve this situation?"

Duan Jinglin immediately replied: "If the enemy sets up a jammer, I can try to counteract through the equipment, but the effect may be limited. It takes time to crack the signal source, and at the same time, I need to find the specific location of the jammer to destroy it."

Qin Yuan nodded, with deep thoughts in his eyes: "We will fight for time. Duan Jinglin, you follow the team and give priority to handling communication issues."

"Yes!" Duan Jinglin responded without hesitation.

At this time, another technician from the criminal police team also spoke: "We found some suspicious people in the surveillance near the abandoned factory. They entered the factory with large boxes and did not come out again. Initial judgment, those boxes may be containers loaded with explosives."

Qin Yuan said in a deep voice: "The explosives in the factory must be controlled as soon as possible. The longer the time, the greater the risk."

He turned around and looked at Zhang Chu, Yue Ming and Duan Jinglin, and said in a decisive tone: "Our team is responsible for infiltrating into the factory. Yue Ming is responsible for the periphery of the police, Duan Jinglin is responsible for the investigation and dismantling of explosives. Zhang Chu, you are responsible for reconnaissance of the enemy's movements and covering the team's actions."

Zhang Chu straightened his body and looked firm: "Yes, instructor."

Yue Ming also smiled and patted Zhang Chu on the shoulder: "Don't be too nervous, boy, this is a practical battle."

Qin Yuan's eyes swept over everyone, his tone aggravated: "Remember, this mission is not only to clean up the bomb, but also to find clues to the enemy's core stronghold. There must be no mistakes in every step, and all actions must be followed."

Li Cheng added: "We will send a special police force to block the surrounding area of ​​the factory to ensure that no civilians enter, but you are completely responsible for internal operations. Terrorists may be ambushed in the dark, so be careful during operations."

Qin Yuan did not respond, but just drew a circle on the map with his fingers, and finally said in a cold tone: "Action time - tonight at midnight. Everyone is ready, this is a life-and-death mission."

The atmosphere in the conference room became more and more tense, and everyone's eyes became sharp and focused. Zhang Chu clenched his fists, but he was not panicked. He knew that this would be a real test, and he had to do his best to live up to Qin Yuan's trust.

"Discontinue the meeting, prepare for each other." Qin Yuan said in a deep voice, and a neat "Yes!" suddenly rang out in the conference room.

As night gradually descends, Tianming City looks particularly quiet under the dim street lights, as if it is quiet before the storm. Qin Yuan led the team to meet with the criminal police team, and the tension of the task enveloped everyone's heart.

Qin Yuan stood next to a tactical command vehicle, with the last tactical deployment in front of him. The map marked the surrounding areas of the abandoned factory and the enemy's potential activity route with red pens. His voice was low and clear, with unquestionable majesty:

"This mission, we will be divided into two groups to carry out the operation. The SWAT team is responsible for the periphery of vigilance, blocking all surrounding roads, and ensuring that no civilians are entering the target area. Our team is the first assault group and directly enters the target area. The action must be quick and accurate, and the enemy must not be given any time to react."

He turned to Zhang Chu with sharp eyes: "Zhang Chu, you are responsible for peripheral reconnaissance. This is not only to discover the specific location of the enemy, but also to ensure that our actions are not exposed. Once an enemy sentinel or abnormal movement is discovered, report it as soon as possible and must not act without authorization."

Zhang Chu nodded vigorously, his eyes firmly: "I understand, instructor!"

Qin Yuan's eyes turned to Yue Ming: "Yue Ming, your mission is to assist local police in controlling suspicious areas on the periphery to ensure that the enemy's reinforcements cannot break through the blockade. If there is any abnormal situation, feedback will be made immediately and judge whether quick support is needed based on the on-site situation."

Yue Ming looked serious and showed a slightly confident smile: "Don't worry, instructor, please ensure that you complete the task."

Then, he looked at Duan Jinglin: "Duan Jinglin, your mission is the most critical. There are probably hidden explosive devices created by the enemy in the factory. These devices do not rule out multiple trigger mechanisms and traps. Your mission is to detect and dismantle all explosives while ensuring the safety of the team."

Duan Jinglin pushed the tactical glasses on the bridge of his nose and spoke calmly: "I need enough time and cover, and the situation in the factory may be more complicated than expected."

Qin Yuan nodded: "I will lead the team to go deep into the dangerous areas and ensure that you have enough cover and time. Remember, this mission will not allow any mistakes. Everyone must be clear about their responsibilities, and any unauthorized actions will affect the overall situation."

His tone suddenly became stern, and he swept over the three people: "There is one more thing to remember - this is the actual combat against terrorism. The enemy may detonate bombs at any time or ambush us in the dark. Every step must be cautious, orders must be given priority, and obey first!"

The three of them responded in unison: "Yes, instructor!"

The action time is set at zero.

Zhang Chu sneaked into the periphery in advance to reconnaissance. He was wearing night disguised clothes, lying in a bush, holding a high-power telescope in his hand. His eyes carefully scanned the abandoned factory to look for possible enemy sentinels or movements.

Qin Yuan's whispering question came from his headphones: "What's the situation on the outside?"

Zhang Chu responded in a low voice: "Report to the instructor, no obvious guards were found on the periphery of the factory for the time being, but there was a slight reflection of light on the east side, which may be the enemy's hidden observation point. I need further confirmation."

"Action cautiously and don't expose yourself." Qin Yuan's voice was calm and powerful.

Zhang Chu carefully moved to another observation point and observed the area again with a telescope. This time, he saw a blurry figure, which seemed to be holding a weapon in his hand, and was scanning the surroundings from time to time.

"Instructor, there is an enemy observer on the east side, located on the second floor platform outside the factory, with shooting dead spots within the target range."

Qin Yuan quickly responded: "Tag the target and continue to reconnaissance. Don't expose it."

At the same time, Yue Ming was assisting local police in the periphery to block the area. He led a team of police officers to patrol possible enemy escape passages and hidden routes. He whispered through the intercom: "The blockade of the outer roads has been completed, and no abnormalities have been found at present, but there may be hidden dangers on the river on the west side, so patrols need to be strengthened."

"Received, strengthen patrols and continue to maintain alertness." Qin Yuan quickly instructed.

Duan Jinglin had already entered a hidden point outside the factory with Qin Yuan. He was checking the equipment to ensure that the signal of the explosion device could be detected as soon as possible. He whispered with his headset: "There may be interfering equipment in the factory, and the signal is a bit unstable. I need more time to confirm the specific location."

Qin Yuan nodded: "Hurry up. We don't have much time."

At midnight, the action officially began.

Qin Yuan led the team to quickly advance to the outside of the factory. Zhang Chu continued to reconnaissance in front and opened the way for the team. He was extremely careful in every step, and his steps were so light that he could hardly hear the sound.

Suddenly, he raised his hand to signal the team to stop and whispered: "There are two enemies on the left side of the front, patrolling. Their route is relatively fixed, but there is a light on the right side, which may be a sentinel."

Qin Yuan pondered for a moment and quickly ordered: "Zhang Chu, you can deal with the patrolling enemy on the left and move neatly. Yue Ming pays attention to cover, Duan Jinglin follows me and penetrates to the right."

Zhang Chu took a deep breath, held the rifle in his hand tightly, and quickly adjusted his posture. He slowly approached the enemy on the left, aimed at one of the people's heads, and pulled the trigger steadily.

"Bang!" The sound of gunshots that simulated silence sounded, and the enemy fell to the ground in an instant. Another enemy realized that he was about to shoot, but was accurately hit by Zhang Chu's second bullet.

"The left side is cleaned up." Zhang Chu reported in a low voice with his headphones.

"Very good, keep moving forward." Qin Yuan's voice was still calm.

The team quickly penetrated into the factory, and the air around it became more and more tense. Duan Jinglin used detection equipment to scan the signal of explosives while following the team. He suddenly stopped and whispered: "There is a faint electromagnetic wave signal ahead, which may be the trigger point of the detonating device."

Qin Yuan immediately signaled the team to stop: "Everyone is on standby, Duan Jinglin, come forward to check."
Chapter completed!
