Chapter 711: Change of Plans
After finalizing the plan, everyone put on their combat gear and headed to Hongcai Port on five helicopters.
Although Kanyue City is the capital of the Celestial Dragon Continent, it does not have a sea, let alone customs or a port.
Hongcai Port, however, is located in Jin City. Taking a car there now would be too late and clearly not realistic, so helicopters are faster.
By this time, the weather in the north was already very cold, and heating was required indoors. Outdoors, the temperature had dropped below zero, but fortunately, the snow wasn’t too heavy today, so the helicopters could still take off.
This was Lin Tian’s first time on a helicopter, which could accommodate more than ten people. There was a partition between the passenger cabin and the cockpit, with a display screen showing the current position of the helicopter.
Lin Tian was wearing a set of combat gear, different from what he had worn last time at the Cultural Square.
The material of this combat gear was very special. It fit snugly and comfortably on the body and had bulletproof capabilities.
As the weather was cold, although the interior had a thick lining, it was still not enough, so a coat was worn on top to be removed during the operation.
Of course, as a member of the operation, Lin Tian was equipped with corresponding weapons. He now had an assault rifle slung over his shoulder.
Lin Tian was quite interested in guns, so he curiously examined it.
This gun was definitely a good one! And much better than the one he had snatched from Du Dahai last time!
Lin Tian had little prior research on guns, so how did he judge this?
What a silly question, is a judgment even needed? How could the items from the Security Management Institute be anything less than excellent?
At this moment, Jiang Huaisi, sitting in front of Lin Tian, gave an intellectual smile and said, "This is the NB-89 assault rifle, ranked in the top three in our country. Its precision deviation is at most 3 microns. Its penetration power is twice that of an AK, and its firing rate hits the limit for assault rifles, about 650 rounds per minute. Of course, its price is also high, equipped only to the most elite forces."
Lin Tian blinked slightly, a bit surprised, then nodded in agreement and said with a smile, "Your Security Management Institute really has a lot of good stuff. I’m a bit envious."
"Haha, if you’re envious, you can join us. These resources will all be at your disposal," said Liet Jiu with a light smile. His nickname was ’Liet Jiu’, but he had a scholarly look.
Just as Lin Tian was about to speak, Chen Moxiang, sitting beside him, suddenly said, "The target ship has already set sail. At their speed, it is expected to arrive at around four in the morning. However, the ship carries a virus. If we try to surround and ambush it, the other side might use the virus to threaten us. So the operation plan has been changed."
Chen Moxiang swiped a few times on the LCD screen on the partition and continued, "Therefore, we need to control the entire ship as it enters the safe zone."
Due to the number of people, seating was somewhat spread out, so communication required a headset connection. Of course, this connection was internal, only allowing communication among members participating in the ’Virus Interception Operation’.
Then, Chen Moxiang pinpointed the safe zone, twenty miles from the port. There, even if the virus leaked, the consequences wouldn’t be too severe.
Of course, this was Chen Moxiang and others’ assessment. After all, so far, they still didn’t know exactly what the virus was or how it would affect them.
Next, Chen Moxiang arranged the personnel for intercepting the ship. A total of twenty people were included, among them Chen Moxiang, Liet Jiu, Jiang Huaisi, as well as Lin Tian.
The main goal of this operation was to control everyone on the ship. Due to the presence of the virus, it was a relatively dangerous action.
However, with Lin Tian’s participation, no one objected. A person who managed to retrieve forty-seven national treasures from under the eyes of experts in the Sakula Country; what more could they say?
To be honest, Lin Tian didn’t really want to participate in the ship seizure; he preferred to wait quietly for Bai Wuchang and the others to arrive and intercept them.
But having already joined the operation, it was better not to cause any trouble. Chen Moxiang was in charge now, so she’d decide the arrangements.
After arriving at Hongcai Port in Jin City, the group first ate something, rested for a while, and it was already two in the morning.
At this time, the red dot representing the target ship on the map was already at sea, having passed Sakula Country’s customs and heading towards Hongcai Port.
Because they needed to sail out, the Security Management Institute’s logistics personnel had already prepared a ship, which was docked at a pier.
The ship looked quite ordinary, but in reality, it had a significant backstory. Valued at over a million, it was also military property, although it appeared very ordinary from the outside.
Standing on the dock, Lin Tian wrapped his coat tightly as a gust of cold wind blew by, appearing unfazed. If it were anyone else dressed as lightly as he was, they’d be shivering with cold.
Of course, even if Lin Tian wore nothing, allowing his Spiritual Qi to flow rapidly, he could achieve cold resistance.
Lin Tian turned his head, looked at Chen Moxiang beside him, and chuckled, "Hey beautiful, aren’t you cold?"
In response to Lin Tian’s teasing, Chen Moxiang raised an eyebrow, "I am cold, why don’t you take off your coat for me?"
Lin Tian shook his head, "If I take it off, I’ll be cold. How about you hug me instead?"
Chen Moxiang didn’t reply this time. Instead, she lifted her long, slender, shapely leg, now wrapped in tight fleece pants outlining a pencil-like slim, long, straight silhouette.
Chen Moxiang’s kick was swift, leaving a shadow in the air as it swung toward Lin Tian’s neck.
If kicked by her, it wouldn’t cause any injuries, but he surely would fall into the sea.
With the current weather, falling into the water wouldn’t take long before freezing one into an icicle, unable even to catch a breath.
This woman is vicious!
Lin Tian naturally shifted his body sideways, effortlessly dodging the kick.
If she were an enemy, Lin Tian could have easily grabbed her ankle and pulled her into the sea.
"Hmph!" Chen Moxiang snorted heavily but said nothing.
"Hehe," Liet Jiu adjusted his glasses and smiled, "Lin Tian, you even dare to provoke this young lady."
The members of the sixth team were mostly over twenty-five years old, so calling Chen Moxiang a young lady wasn’t wrong as she was among the younger ones.
Lin Tian chuckled lightly, thinking it was already decent that this girl didn’t draw her knife outright.
In reality, Chen Moxiang and the others wouldn’t feel cold. They had all undergone special training, among which cold resistance was a significant part.
With the water not yet frozen, they could still swim.
