Chapter 353: Chapter 351 Infiltration

Morning fog swathed the area, with dim golden light crossing over the wall covered with green moss, shining into the abandoned parking lot.

“Ah~”

Matthew opened his eyes and let out a big yawn, feeling refreshed and energized as if he had been through a long journey and finally could sleep comfortably.

What he experienced yesterday was far more thrilling than anything in his whole life, like a dream, and he was unsure if Bi Fang’s response had come through.

With this thought, the spirited Matthew turned his head and saw that Bi Fang had already gotten up at some point and was observing something with a drone.

He keenly noticed a flashing green light at one corner of the drone—if he remembered correctly, that same light flashed when they sent the message yesterday!

Matthew’s eyes suddenly brightened with excitement and he asked, “Did we get a message?”

Bi Fang fiddled with the drone, squinting as he absorbed the information.

Since he was already caught in the vortex, he had to act, and so he had gotten up early to check for messages—the news he received said—

It’s possible!

The Abbascan Faction had already made a promise that as long as they could get the people out of Yemen and to the rear of the battle lines, they would take over!

Facing Matthew’s question at this moment, Bi Fang had no intention of hiding anything and nodded.

[Damn, did they really agree?]

[Awesome, Old Fang, are you taking office immediately?]

[Great winds rise and clouds soar… If only I could find a brave man to roam in all directions… Bandit Gangs! They must be eradicated at all times… No mercy! Imagine you take your wife out of the city, enjoying hotpot and singing songs, then suddenly you’re ambushed by bandits! Thus, only days without bandits are good days!]

[Must submit a petition!]

[My goodness, doesn’t Patriarch Huang also trade in human lives?]

[Incredible!]

Early in the morning, the audience that had been waiting for the grand show reached a collective climax, making their early rise or even all-night wait worthwhile!

Upon certain affirmation, Matthew’s expression grew visibly more excited, and he hastily asked, “So what do we do now?”

Bi Fang closed his eyes and pondered in silence; Matthew did not dare to disturb him and could only hold his breath and wait for an answer.

“If your intel is correct, their shipping day is tomorrow—we have more than twenty hours left to prepare, which is still ample time…”

Minutes later, Bi Fang opened his eyes, already having a plan in mind, “Anyway, we can’t just barge in, stealing is better than robbing, and attacking is better than fighting. Do you know where their gathering place is?”

“The dock—their gathering place is at the dock!” Matthew was sure, paused for a moment, and then added, “That’s where I discovered them, at an abandoned shipyard.”

Upon hearing this, Bi Fang immediately twisted the ignition and pressed the accelerator, heading towards the dock.

“Alright, let’s go take a look at the dock first!”

…

Half an hour later.

“That’s the place.” Matthew pointed toward the large building in the distance.

The two crouched in the bushes, not getting too close. From over three kilometers away, Bi Fang and Matthew had come on foot. Their modified off-road vehicle was too conspicuous, and once discovered, could easily give them away.

“Let’s go!”

Bi Fang gestured for Matthew to follow him.

Matthew grabbed Bi Fang’s arm, his forehead covered in cold sweat, “Wait, isn’t this too risky? Are we just going to head straight in?”

Bi Fang nodded, “Although the enemy’s numbers are vast, the shipyard is enormous, and they can’t possibly cover every corner with their defense. That’s impractical, and if so, it wouldn’t be a bandit stronghold, but more like a military base. What we need to do is to ascertain the entire shipyard’s layout, then infer their precise location based on the guards’ shifts and movements, and finally, implement the rescue operation!”

“How is it possible, just the two of us clarifying the entire layout of the shipyard, isn’t that guaranteed to bump into someone?” Matthew said.

“We don’t need to search the entire shipyard, we just need to find the factory map. The larger the factory, the more likely they are to have one, and it’s usually located in the lobby for the convenience of new workers or visitors to find their way. Right now, nobody knows the specifics, all I can do is make a judgement based on experience.”

Is this the equivalent of groping one’s way across a river by feeling the stones?

Matthew’s heart raced inwardly, astonished by Bi Fang’s boldness. Directly entering the factory to check the map, was he sure this river wasn’t the Amazon River?

One wrong step and it’s so easy to drown!

The audience was also startled by Bi Fang’s audacity, and they burst into a flurry of discouragement.

[This factory is not a place to enter lightly!]

[Your Majesty, please think thrice, Your Majesty]

[Charge the motherfucker!]

[Look on life and death lightly, If you disagree, just do it!]

[When it comes to infiltrating, Old Fang is the professional, why the fuck are you all so anxious?]

[Exactly, just enjoy the show from Old Fang.]

“If you’re unwilling, you can stay here and wait for me.” Bi Fang took out all the guns and ammo from his bag, performing a final check and preparation.

Upon hearing this, Matthew didn’t hesitate much and gritted his teeth, “Fuck it, let’s do this!”

“Good!”

A look of joy appeared on Bi Fang’s face. Actually, Matthew’s initial act had somewhat dragged him into the situation. When Matthew had taken the initiative to come to him, as a public figure, there really was no room for refusal. The feeling of being coerced wasn’t pleasant, but Matthew’s actions at least proved he hadn’t done it on purpose, and that he sincerely wanted to save those people.

After preparing, Bi Fang handed the shotgun to Matthew.

A shotgun didn’t require much accuracy; no need to aim precisely, just getting the direction right was good enough, just fire away. Matthew, who had some shooting experience, was up to the task, while the pistol, which required more skill and precision, naturally remained in Bi Fang’s hands.

Once ready, the two set off for the shipyard.

“Don’t walk directly in the sunlight, choose the shadows as much as possible. If you walk in the sunlight, it’s easy to be spotted by someone above. The shipyard is in the northeast direction, so we need to take the east corridor and use the difference in sightlines as a barrier to ensure we won’t be easily discovered.”

All the way, Bi Fang kept explaining the essentials and soon led Matthew to the front of the shipyard.

“No one’s here!”

Bi Fang was astonished as he stared at the empty entrance, never expecting that there wouldn’t even be a guard at the gate, and after scanning the surroundings, there were no security cameras either.

Could defense really be this lax?

It was understandable the last time Matthew snuck in; it wasn’t an important moment. But tomorrow was the “delivery” day, and there was no guard at the main gate?

“Last time you came in, did you see them keeping dogs or anything like that?”

Matthew was taken aback, furrowed his brows to think hard, and finally shook his head, “No.”

No guards, no surveillance, not even dogs.

With this realization, Bi Fang cast an inexplicable glance at Matthew: “No wonder you could sneak in.”

Matthew: “…?”

There was something off about what he said, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.

Forget it, saving people comes first.

Shaking his head, Matthew stopped overthinking the matter and followed closely behind Bi Fang, slipping into the shipyard.
