Chapter 55: A Well-Prepared Trap
: "So, we shouldn't have made a deal with them. Right?" asked the female director, completely unaware that the other directors looked at her with idiot-looking eyes.
: "No, ma'am, we have to trade with them. At least make a gesture of trading with them. Because if we don't agree to trade with them, they will immediately release the information in their hands, and we will be hit... well... a big blow." Carter explained with a smile.
: "I guess you already have a solution, Mr. Carter." The old man was experiencing a little bit on the big screen.
: "Yes, sir. But I need everyone's support..." Carter began to explain his plan, and the directors slowly filled with smiles. This was a good plan...
: "This is Archer. How are the goods we want?" After 24 hours, Shen Chao, who had no idea about Umbrella's internal operations, called as promised.
: "Bonds and cash are ready. But the gold you want is still a bit difficult. Can you replace it with bonds or cash..." Carter explained in embarrassment on the other end of the phone.
: "Mr. Carter, we don't have that much time to argue. Our plan remains unchanged. From now on, you have 24 hours to transfer the goods we want to Los Angeles. I will notify you of the specific transaction time and location. It's over." Chen Chao said indifferently. Umbrella would delay time like this, completely expected.
After all, big companies like Umbrella always play these tricks, not to really delay time, but more importantly, they always want to prove their control of the situation. On the other side of the phone, Carter smiled knowingly. It was a smile that only those who thought they were about to win.
: "How is it?" Chen Chao asked Custer next to him.
: "The other party tried 5 location methods to try to find us, but I sent them all." Custer stared at the screen and said.
: "It seems they have strengthened their tracking efforts. Well, I hope this transaction will go smoothly." Chen Chao said after stretching in the car. Since yesterday, the two of them have not had a good rest because they have been choosing the right trading location in the city.
This is not a simple job. They require the transaction location to be complex and convenient for transportation. It is convenient for them to evacuate after the transaction or hide when the transaction is wrong. Los Angeles is a big city, and there are many places that meet this condition. Chen Chao and others are making the final decision.
: "Don't think about it, such a transaction will never go smoothly. Just put explosives here as I said..." Caster once again suggested that he had suggested gathering the two unused explosives together to make a trap that might be used when retreating. However, Chen Chao believed that his plan lacked necessity.
After all, if the two were really surrounded, they would probably not care about the explosives. However, Chen Chao decided to go on a field trip with Caster to see the feasibility. He found a restaurant to eat some Mexican food, and then found a hotel to rest for a few hours, and the two drove to their destination.
: "The evacuation here may be time-consuming." In the night, Chen Chao looked at the dazzling high-rise buildings in front of him who were illuminated by various lights. It was already night, and he and Custer stood on the street together to investigate the terrain.
: "No problem, we can set some explosives on the main wires here," Custer said as he looked at the scene in front of him. If it weren't for the scarce pedestrians at night, the crazy remarks of these two guys would have been reported to the police by passing citizens.
: "Use C-4?" Chen Chao asked.
: "No, we need to use them to explode the tunnel." Custer thought for a while and replied. They didn't bring much explosives. Chen Chao had used one-third of the explosives in the hive before, so they could only use the equipment in their hands with great calculating. In the end, Chen Chao was convinced by Custer. Because Custer's plan was more innovative and the safety was slightly higher.
Meanwhile, at Umbrella's U.S. headquarters, directors and senior executives reached a consensus that in order to prevent the truth from being leaked from being leaked, they would implement the plan given by Carter and eliminate the threat in the bud. In other words, they decided to concentrate the company's strength to eliminate two thieves who tried to blackmail them.
To achieve this goal, the conference room at Umbrella's North American headquarters was crowded with lights. Supervisors and other branches of various departments arrived here with various professional teams, waiting for Carter to assign tasks to them.
With their unprecedented cooperation, more than 1,000 employees at all levels were mobilized to Los Angeles in less than 10 hours. Among these people were armed security guards, professional spies, technical experts... Umbrella was preparing to achieve her contributions and eliminate Shen Chao and the others at one time.
At this time, the two people who were unaware of it were laying a blasting point in a sewer near the reservation transaction point. With the equipment bought from the hardware store, Chen Chao was responsible for drilling holes on the top of the pipeline and Custer was responsible for loading medicine. The reason why they chose to install bombs on the top of the tunnel was because there were not many explosives. Otherwise, they could stick dozens of kilograms of C-4 on the pipe wall, and they could still blow up this section of the passage.
: "I hope this thing is really useful, otherwise we can only abandon some supplies." Chen Chao, who had placed the last explosion point, lowered down with a rope and said. He and Custer had just spent half an hour setting these explosion points.
: "It will work, the only thing you have to worry about is whether our goods will break down then." Custer said after loading the last explosion point.
More than ten hours later, a 1994-produced Lincoln car flashed left and right under the blockage of a bunch of vehicles. From time to time, exchanged bullets with the vehicles behind. Shen Chao and the others had changed into nanosuits, but this did not give them enough sense of security. Because at least hundreds of people were chasing them behind.
: "How come Umbrella has so many people in Los Angeles?" Chen Chao asked while driving.
: "X, they must have transferred all the people nearby." Custer cursed and shot at the pursuers behind.
After avoiding the encirclement of the other party's previous few blocks, they encountered a large number of vehicles that could not be bypassed. Seeing that there was no way ahead, Chen Chao drove the car directly into the nearest underground parking lot. However, they found something was wrong as soon as they got off the car.
The parking lot was as quiet as a grave. In the center of the parking lot, there was a blue container placed on the ground, and the security door chain from the far exit was put down. Other exits also heard the sound of being locked. All exits were blocked!
While the two of them were exploring separately, a dull sound came from the container. Immediately afterwards, the door of the container in front of them seemed to be blasted from the inside, and the two door panels at the entrance of the box flew out like pieces of paper.
: "X, the goddess of vengeance." Chen Chao saw the things inside clearly and hid behind the car. Custer next to him had been hiding behind a pillar before that. Then a dense bullet swept across the place where he was standing and knocked their vehicle into a big fireball.
: "I just said that you would encounter an accident, you don't believe it." Custer said after firing a few shots at the tracker behind the pillar on the other side.
: "Isn't this thing not finished developing yet? This is cheating." Chen Chao said and fired a rocket into the direction of the tracker, but the tracker flexibly dodged.
: "I, I'm so flexible? Do you have any ideas?" Chen Chao asked after exchanging several bullets with the tracker.
: "Yes..." Custer replied firmly. A few seconds later, the entire parking lot immediately fell into darkness. Chen Chao and Custer just turned on the EMP generator in their backpack together. The brightly lit underground parking lot immediately turned into darkness.
What's amazing is that the tracker who had shown a very wise one second ago suddenly ran away. It roared and pulled off its weapons, lying on the ground like a beast, screaming. While screaming, it held its head and smashed the floor. It looked very painful. It seemed that it could only fight with the electronic controls behind it.
Seeing this, Chen Chao and Custer shot at all the lamps in the underground parking lot without hesitation. Half of the lamps were destroyed before the power was restored.
As the nearby power recovered, the tracker lying on the ground stood up again. She picked up the weapon she had just dropped and began to shoot randomly around. Shen Chao and Custer didn't care about it and continued to hide it, and used alternating shooting methods to turn off the remaining lights.
Watching the tracker searching around in confusion, Chen Chao and Custer destroyed nearby vehicles next to each other. Within a few minutes, all the vehicles in the garage turned into a large pool of burning torches. Due to sufficient heat, the two were able to maintain the invisible mode and discussed countermeasures.
: "Retreat first, it doesn't make sense to fight it." Custer suggested.
: "This is not over." Chen Chao looked at the few ammunition left on his body and said this. When he got off the car just now, he only carried a base ammunition. Caster was almost the same. This means that most of their ammunition and some special equipment were destroyed by the trackers.
The two of them ignored the trackers who could not find them and came to the locked door. The door was blocked by the original anti-theft roller blinds. The outside was brightly lit. A large number of Umbrella armed security guards blocked the place. Looking at the lights on the ground, you could tell at a glance that there were several searchlights illuminated the door. There was also the roar of helicopter propellers in the sky. It seemed that this was indeed a carefully prepared trap.
