Chapter 188 Oil Tanker Investigation
Morocco, Strait of Gibraltar.
At night, a small yacht departs from Tangier Port and sails towards the vast western Atlantic Ocean. The appearance of this small yacht is no different from that of an ordinary yacht, but its internal power is full of modern high-tech equipment: sonar detection system, navigation system,
Early warning systems, jamming systems, self-defense systems, radar systems, satellite communication systems, and even weapon systems.
This yacht is not a yacht at all, but a miniature warship.
"Activate the radar jamming system." On the yacht, the colonel issued an order to several mercenaries.
"clear."
All the lights on the yacht were turned off, and it was sailing through the waves like a ghost ship on the dark sea. A bright spot appeared on the radar aperture, and the bright spot was the Russian oil tanker targeted by the United Nations Security Council. At this time, it was only a few meters away from the oil tanker.
There is a distance of twenty nautical miles.
"Colonel, are you sure this tanker was caused by lurkers?" Jaguar asked the colonel, passing a cup of coffee.
Taking the coffee, the colonel took a sip, staring at the getting closer and closer light spots on the radar, nodded and said: "I'm sure that the lurker's missions in the Middle East are becoming more and more frequent, giving people an extremely busy look.
It feels like, but lurkers shouldn’t be so busy with tasks in the Middle East. Just like us, they don’t accept ordinary small tasks. Don’t you think this is strange? Besides, the Palestinian government is very poor, how can it pay
Can you afford the lurker’s commission?”
"That's right, hehe..." Jaguar grinned, agreeing with the colonel's point of view.
Recently, Palestine and Israel in the Middle East have been involved in another armed conflict. But it is very strange that the missions of the lurkers in the Middle East have become more and more frequent with the war. They have not concealed their actions, but most of what they have done is irrelevant.
An urgent mission, which made the colonel who was familiar with the lurkers suspicious.
"This is the lurker's move to divert attention." Hunter Fox, wearing a tight-fitting vest, walked into the cabin, poured a cup of coffee and said, "I'm sure the main force of the lurker is on this tanker. They seem to be deliberately luring us into revenge.
I have to say, the blasting of the ammunition base was really fun, and I killed the sickleman."
"Boom!" Jaguar made a sound in his mouth, gestured for an explosion, and said with a smile: "Do the lurkers want to learn our tricks and blow up this oil tanker? Hahaha, that's so naive.
.”
At this moment, the light spot on the radar stopped moving, indicating that the tanker had stopped its course and stayed quietly on the sea level.
The sudden immobility made people feel very strange, as if they were just stopping there waiting for them.
"The other party has discovered us." Liehu stared at the screen and said, "There is no problem with the anti-radar device. The only place where we can be discovered is in the sky."
The lurkers have their own tactical satellites, while the defenders do not have their own satellites, but they can borrow American military satellites around the world according to combat needs. The United States is very generous to them in this regard and is never stingy.
"Come closer, old friends are waiting for us to have a carnival, how can we not go?" the colonel gave the order with a solemn look.
The yacht quickly approached the huge supertanker. Through night vision equipment, they found that there was no one on board the tanker. In comparison, this huge tanker looked more like a ghost ship, exuding an eerie aura.
"Ice Angel, you bring people in for reconnaissance." The colonel who walked to the deck said to Ice Angel.
Ice Angel, who was wearing a black tight-fitting vest and camouflage pants, nodded, grabbed a tactical vest and put it on, and equipped the sniper rifle, rifle, submachine gun, pistol, saber, and grenades in order.
"I can do it by myself." Ice Angel made a cold voice and refused others to go with him.
Ice Angel has this kind of temperament. She always likes to be alone in all tasks and does not like to partner with others. This also shows her strength and confidence.
"I'll go with you." Xuedao made a voice.
Two cold gazes pierced into Xuedao's eyes. Ice Angel was disgusted by Xuedao's words, because she had already said that she didn't need anyone to go with her.
With a "clang" sound, an anchor rope for climbing was shot towards the side of the tanker. Ice Angel's body disappeared from the yacht and quickly climbed up.
"Mechanic, mechanic, hear the answer, hear the answer." The colonel began to call his people after the Ice Angel boarded the ship.
"Mechanic received it, mechanic received it, please speak, please speak." The mechanic's voice came over the radio.
The Mechanic is the core of the Defenders. To a certain extent, he has a similar job to the lurker Seth, but he is much more mysterious than Seth and basically never shows up. Because Seth's job is the sky, and the Mechanic's job is
In the deep sea.
"Report your location, report your location."
"Longitude -36.8261, latitude 24.6070, North Atlantic bottom 1,200 feet, all normal."
"Entering strike range."
"The mechanics understand!"
After hanging up the call, the colonel ordered the yacht to leave the tanker range and wait for Ice Angel to report back on the reconnaissance situation from above.
No one is a fool. The colonel can guess that the lurker wants to use the tactic of repaying the enemy with revenge, but how can he let the other party succeed? He is also prepared, and he will definitely surprise the lurker.
.
Ice Angel, who boarded the tanker alone, carefully bypassed the camera on the deck and risked his body to touch the tanker container.
There was still no one on the ship, and it was so cold that it felt particularly scary. Even when Ice Angel opened the container and made a noise, no one appeared to stop it.
The heavy container was opened, and under the illumination of the flashlight, Ice Angel saw a whole box of arms. There was no doubt that these arms were obtained by lurkers from the Middle East.
Taking out a delicate mobile phone, Ice Angel took a picture of the arms in the container. After taking the picture, he immediately sent it to the colonel, who then sent it to the United Nations Security Council to confirm that it was indeed all arms and that military action could be taken.
The Ice Angel who had experienced all this last night threw his cell phone into the sea, turned around and walked towards the cabin.
She doesn't believe this is a ghost ship, but where are all the sailors on the ship? You know, this kind of 400,000-ton oil tanker cannot be operated by more than ten or twenty people. It requires a large number of sailors and professional pilots.
Only then.
This is a heavy iron gate. There is light in the iron gate, but it is quiet inside.
Ice Angel, who hid her body behind her, closed her eyes and waited quietly. She used her sense of smell and hearing to detect the movement in the cabin, but there was still no movement at all.
After observing the surroundings, Ice Angel finally took a deep breath, opened the iron door a crack, slipped in, and lay quietly behind the container directly in front of him.
This is a cargo warehouse where containers are stacked. The site is very large, nearly 150 meters in front and back, and there are several large containers in each. There is no doubt that weapons and ammunition are piled inside.
In a ventilation hole diagonally opposite, a sniper rifle was locked on the direction of Ice Angel. The muzzle was never aimed at Ice Angel's head, for fear that Ice Angel's sixth sense would warn of danger. Moreover, Ice Angel did not give any warning.
This sniper rifle gave her no chance. During the movement, she avoided all sniper points on the opposite side that could pose a threat to her.
"Target Ice Angel, target Ice Angel." Pandora's voice sounded from the radio.
"Copy that." Zhao Ziyang, who was sitting in the cabin here, nodded and silently moved out with the rifle in hand. He lay on the top of a container and squinted his eyes to observe the movements of the Ice Angel opposite.
It must be said that Ice Angel was very cautious. She seemed to know that this was a trap, so she just observed and never moved a step forward. She hid her entire body behind the container and waited calmly.
In the main control room of the oil tanker, several lurker mercenaries nervously operated the instruments in front of them, conducting sonar detection every three minutes, while the screen clearly showed a bright spot on the seabed diagonally below.
"Test." Zhao Ziyang ordered Pandora.
After receiving the order, Pandora immediately pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
The piercing sound of gunfire rang out, and a warhead shot towards the Ice Angel's location, hitting the steel bulkhead and making a bullet hole as thick as a thumb.
The Ice Angel, who was waiting silently, immediately stood up after Pandora fired the shot, but then squatted down as fast as lightning.
"Bang!" Zhao Ziyang pulled the trigger, and the bullet whizzed past the Ice Angel's head and hit the heavy iron door.
At this moment, Ice Angel saw Zhao Ziyang lying on the container.
"Boom! Boom!"
A dull explosion sounded, and two smoke bombs desperately released smoke outwards, instantly surrounding the Ice Angel's location, making it impossible to lock her in any way.
Ice Angel was originally here for reconnaissance. When she saw Zhao Ziyang, the reconnaissance mission was completed. The next step was to retreat and leave the work to the back.
The Ice Angel dodged out and quickly ran out to put on her clothes and ran towards the deck. Next, she was going to jump into the sea and escape as planned.
But when she just ran to the side of the ship, a strong fishy smell came from the tip of her nose. This fishy smell was too familiar. It was definitely not the smell of sea water, but blood.
The originally calm sea was churning, and there was no need to make any guesses to know that it was full of sharks. The lurkers poured blood into the sea, attracting a large number of sharks, making it impossible for the Ice Angel to escape even if he wanted to.
"Pa", a large searchlight suddenly shone at Ice Angel, shrinking her pupils severely and causing her to become temporarily blind.
The moment he was illuminated by the searchlight, Ice Angel threw his body towards the side of the deck, pulled out the pistol with his right hand and pulled the trigger in the direction of the light source.
"Bang!" "Wow..."
The searchlight was shattered and the deck was once again enveloped in darkness. The Ice Angel was hiding behind the container, keeping watch with his eyes closed.
The sea breeze was blowing gently, and the sound of sharks tumbling under the tanker continued to sound. Fear shrouded the place.
In the distance, the captain of the yacht and his party clearly heard the sound of gunshots. They immediately realized that Ice Angel was under siege. However, they could not get close. Hundreds of sharks were simply not something their yacht could contend with. All they could do now was wait.
Chapter completed!
