482: Chapter four hundred and seventy-nine The Worst Situation 482: Chapter four hundred and seventy-nine The Worst Situation “A television broadcast?
And it’s being globally broadcasted?
F**k!
F**k!
F**k!
Did they see my face?”
The explosive bad news left Gao Yang with a sense of disbelief, and the first thing he thought of was whether he had been captured on camera.
If his face got exposed in front of the whole world, needless to say, he was completely done for.
“Saw your face?
Oh, no, the TV cameras were shooting from the air, it was aerial footage, so you could see people on the ground, but you couldn’t make out any faces.
I’m currently watching the news, it’s a long shot.”
Aerial footage, Gao Yang immediately thought of that small helicopter.
After all this time, it wasn’t a police or military chopper, but one belonging to the TV station.
Gao Yang didn’t have time to continue speaking with Uriyangko but instead blurted out into the walkie-talkie, “Everyone, put on masks or paint on camouflage makeup, just do something to cover your faces, F**k, we’re on TV.”
After roaring into the walkie-talkie, Gao Yang then urgently said into the phone, “Vampire, you know the situation, tell me, what do you plan to do?”
Uriyangko’s voice was frantic as he loudly said, “I will fly to Colombia immediately, no matter the cost, I will get you out of there.
It doesn’t matter if Ivan is alive or not.
I know everything is for Ivan, you’ve already done your best, so Grand Ivan and I will certainly do everything we can to rescue you.”
Gao Yang was pleased with Uriyangko’s attitude and immediately said, “Good, to save Ivan and our lives, I’ve already spent twenty-four million US Dollars, and this number will definitely increase, so it’s best if you prepare more money.”
“Twenty-four million US Dollars?
What do you mean?”
“We’re with Angel Mercenary Corps, I hired the Angels to rescue us, otherwise, we’d already be dead.
From now on, we’ll be relying on the Angels to save us.
Do you understand now?”
Uriyangko sounded pleasantly surprised as he said, “You hired the Angel Mercenary Corps?
That’s fantastic, your chances of survival just increased greatly.
Well done, Ram.
Money is no object, I’ll pay for everything.
No, I don’t have that much money, but Grand Ivan does.
Alright, tell me where you’re headed, and I’ll come to find you.”
After some thought, Gao Yang said with a grave voice, “We don’t yet know where we’re going, but what’s certain is we’ll seek refuge in a drug trafficker’s camp first.
That’s it for now, we’ll be in touch if there’s anything.”
After hanging up the phone, Gao Yang looked at Nate with a helpless expression and said, “We’re on TV now.
That little aircraft was from the TV station.
Now I just hope they couldn’t capture our faces.”
Nate’s expression turned serious and he said, “I gathered as much from your conversation just now.
I don’t care about being filmed, what worries me are other matters.
I think we’re about to face the worst-case scenario.”
Gao Yang forced a smile, “Worse than this?”
Nate nodded and said, “Worse than this.
Being on TV, and broadcasted globally, will significantly enhance the Ministry of Defense’s efficiency.
It also means that the Colombian military’s actions will be much faster than I anticipated.
Additionally, without a doubt, Colombia will spare no effort to find and eliminate us.”
After speaking with a solemn face, Nate immediately said into the walkie-talkie, “Convoy, speed up, let’s get out of the city as quickly as possible.
Compass, find a suitable drug trafficker’s camp.
We’re going to take it over, and once you’ve chosen it, lead the way.”
Once the orders were issued, Nate paused for a moment before continuing into the walkie-talkie, “Keep an eye on the movements of the Colombian military forces and report anything immediately.”
Not long after Nate finished speaking, about two minutes later, Gao Yang heard through his earpiece someone urgently reporting, “Reporting, no new information from the Ministry of Defense yet.
The President will deliver an emergency television address in sixteen minutes.
No news from the military at the moment, but we expect to receive information from the Air Force in two minutes.”
“Reporting, based on our current speed, we will arrive at the suburbs of Bogota in four minutes, entering the No.
50 Motorway in the northwest direction.
The drug trafficker’s camp has been selected; the preliminary estimate to reach there is one hour and forty minutes.
This camp is the closest drug trafficker’s camp from us, with advantageous geographical conditions, suitable for short-term defense.
The estimated number of people inside the camp is around one hundred and twenty, with heavy weaponry.
Our side attacked this camp in September 2009, we are familiar with the terrain.”
After the series of reports reached Nate, he immediately said, “Continue gathering intelligence, pay special attention to the Air Force, and agree on the chosen target camp.
Prepare for an attack.”
The atmosphere became tense again, although the degree of tension was limited—after all, whether or not they were on TV, there was no way Gao Yang and his team could just leave Bogota without any issue.
Being on TV simply meant that the inevitable counterattack might come sooner rather than later.
After some silence, Gao Yang’s earpiece buzzed again with new intelligence.
“Reporting, two Mirage 5 fighter jets from the Air Force have taken off, plus there are four Super Tucano aircraft, confirming that we are the target.”
Gao Yang’s heart sank even further.
This was the consequence of going to war with a country’s military forces: after repelling the police, special forces came, and now the adversary’s fighter jets were in the air.
“Reporting, the Jaguar Corps’s ground forces are pursuing us, numbering over two hundred, their location is uncertain.”
After a moment of silence, Nate said with a deep voice, “The plan remains unchanged.”
Gao Yang exhaled deeply, “This is bad.
I hope there isn’t anything worse than this situation.”
Nate fell silent, just gazing out of the car window.
The convoy had already left the urban area, and buildings began to thin out on either side of the road.
Much later, when he noticed that there were no more houses, only farmland on both sides of the road, Nate suddenly said, “This isn’t the worst situation I’ve been in, at least there’s no one blocking us ahead.
If we can get into the rainforest, there’s hope.”
Gao Yang nodded silently; with things having reached this point, they could only buck up and charge forward.
The situation was out of their control, even beyond his imagining—contending with a country’s military was not something he was arrogant enough to contemplate.
Right now, he just hoped to quickly get into the jungle and hide as soon as possible.
“Reporting, latest intelligence, the 8th Mountain Battalion of the Army is conducting military exercises in the region ahead of us.
According to reliable sources, they’ve been ordered to head to the road we’ll be passing by and set up defenses.”
After hearing the latest report through his earpiece, Nate looked at Gao Yang and said ominously, “This is the worst-case scenario.” (To be continued.
