"Can you dismantle it?" Qin Yuan asked.

"Yes, but it needs cover." Duan Jinglin answered quickly.

"Zhang Chu, Yue Ming, pay attention to the surroundings and ensure safety." Qin Yuan issued an order, then stood beside Duan Jinglin, aimed at the distance with a rifle, ready to deal with possible threats at any time.

Zhang Chu's heartbeat accelerated, but he tried hard to keep himself calm. He knew that every minute next would be related to the life and death of the whole team.

As time passed, Duan Jinglin's hands were as steady as a rock, operating the device's lines carefully. Finally, when the countdown was still three minutes, he successfully cut off the main detonation line.

"Demolition of the device." Duan Jinglin breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression was still tense.

Qin Yuan nodded: "Very good, keep pushing, there may be more explosives inside the factory. Everyone, stay alert!"

On the other side.

Zhang Chu moved slowly under the night sky alone, and the outer area of ​​Tianming City was so quiet that it was strangely quiet. There were only occasional wind and his breathing sounds in his ears. He was wearing a black tactical suit and using the surrounding bunker to hide his body. The telescope in his hand kept scanning the area ahead.

The abandoned factory appeared in his sight. It was an old three-story building with cracks and peeling plaster on the walls. It stood alone in the middle of a desolate clearing, like a silent giant shrouded in the shadows. Logically speaking, this area had been abandoned for many years and no one should have appeared.

But while he was observing, he suddenly noticed that behind a dilapidated window on the second floor, there seemed to be a faint light flash. Was it the light of the flashlight? Or other equipment? His heart hopped suddenly, quickly adjusting the focal length of the telescope to lock in that position.

A few seconds later, he finally saw clearly—a figure flashed behind the window, wearing a dark jacket, and seemed to be holding something in his hand. He was cautious in his movements, as if he was checking for some equipment.

Zhang Chu continued to observe. A few minutes later, he noticed that two men appeared at the main entrance of the factory, tall, holding a rifle in his hand, and were talking in a low voice. Their warning posture and equipment were obviously not ordinary people.

"Terrorist..." Zhang Chu was shocked. His hands subconsciously clasped the walkie-talkie and said in a low voice: "Instructor, this is Zhang Chu. I found that there were abnormal activities in the abandoned factory."

Qin Yuan's response was soon heard from the headphones, and his voice was quiet and calm: "Specific situation?"

"Reported that there is a suspected enemy member on the second floor of the factory, who is operating the equipment. In addition, there are two gun guards at the main entrance equipped with suspected automatic rifles, and are highly alert in their status." Zhang Chu reported quickly, "The factory may be a stronghold for terrorists."

Qin Yuan was silent for a moment, then ordered: "Continue to observe and confirm the number of enemies and the area of ​​activity, and never expose yourself. Let's go to your location right away."

"I understand, instructor." After Zhang Chu responded, he quickly adjusted his posture, hid in a tall bush, and continued to lock the target with his telescope.

Ten minutes later, Qin Yuan and Yue Ming and Duan Jinglin arrived at Zhang Chu's position quietly. They quickly hid in an abandoned car shell. Zhang Chu reported the observations just now in detail, and pointed to the enemy's position on the second floor of the factory and the main entrance.

After hearing this, Qin Yuan looked down at the map in his hand and frowned: "If this is really a stronghold for terrorists, it is likely that they will store weapons and explosives. The number of enemies is unknown, but it can be confirmed that the firepower here will not be weak."

Duan Jinglin asked in a low voice: "Instructor, will there be bombs inside the factory? If it is a reserve point, the enemy may have arranged a self-destruction device."

Qin Yuan nodded: "This is possible, so you must be cautious in your actions. Duan Jinglin, you need to determine whether there is signal interference or explosive devices inside the factory as soon as possible."

He turned to look at Yue Ming: "Yue Ming, you are responsible for the vigilance of the factory outside to ensure that the enemy has no possibility of reinforcements or escape."

Finally, his eyes fell on Zhang Chu: "Zhang Chu, you lead the way. I need you to assist in reconnaissance factory structure and enemy distribution to ensure that we find the best entry point."

Zhang Chu nodded vigorously without any hesitation: "Yes, instructor!"

The team quickly launched an action. Zhang Chu lurked to the flank of the factory again and took Qin Yuan to approach a broken wall. They lay on the ground and carefully observed the main entrance of the factory and the surrounding environment through the telescope.

"The enemy's warning range is small, but there are more people inside." Qin Yuan whispered, "The risk of breaking in front is too high, we need to go around the flanks."

Zhang Chu pointed to a pile of abandoned trucks on the right side of the factory: "Instructor, that area is not covered by light, which can cover us close to the back door of the factory. The back door is the main channel for factory cargo transportation, and it is likely to be the best choice for us to break into."

Qin Yuan nodded in praise: "Yes, enter through the back door. But be careful, there may be traps or sentinels in the back door."

He ordered through headphones: "Duan Jinglin, prepare the equipment and detect whether there are explosive devices or other ambushes in the back door."

"I understand, go over immediately." Duan Jinglin responded in a low voice.

A few minutes later, the team successfully walked around the back door of the factory. Duan Jinglin quickly took out a portable signal interference detector and scanned the door area. His brows quickly frowned: "Abnormal signal fluctuations were detected, and there may be an explosion device or an alarm device behind the door."

Qin Yuan said in a deep voice: "Disassemble the device and try not to attract the enemy's attention."

Duan Jinglin took a deep breath, took out the toolbox, squatted beside the back door and operated carefully. His movements were extremely meticulous, and he was cautious in every step, afraid of triggering any mechanism. Zhang Chu was on the side, his eyes swept to the shadows inside the door from time to time, and his ears captured every possible movement.

A few minutes later, Duan Jinglin wiped the sweat from his forehead and whispered: "The device has been removed and the back door can be opened safely."

Qin Yuan nodded: "Very good, Zhang Chu, you can reconnaissance the situation inside the sect first."

Zhang Chu adjusted the scope of the rifle, slowly pushed open a gap in the back door, and poked his head out to observe. He saw that the back door was connected to the factory's cargo storage area, which contained some large wooden boxes and old equipment. The space was very large, but it seemed empty, and there was no obvious enemy.

"Instructor, no enemies were found in the cargo area for the time being, but there are several large wooden boxes that may store weapons." Zhang Chu reported in a low voice.

Qin Yuan made a gesture to signal the team members to prepare to enter. His voice was low but oppressive: "Go ahead carefully and pay attention to every corner. Our goal is to check the enemy's activity areas and confirm whether there are explosives."

The team's actions entered the most critical stage. Everyone was cheering up and quietly sneaked into the abandoned factory with danger hidden.

The team successfully sneaked into the abandoned factory, and the air was filled with a pungent chemical smell. The cargo storage area was filled with dim wooden boxes and iron barrels, and the light was dim and depressing. Zhang Chu was on the front guard, and Duan Jinglin took the detection equipment and carefully scanned the possible explosives or traps around.

Qin Yuan stood in the center, his eyes swept around with sharp eyes. He gestured to the team members to disperse and keep alert.

"Instructor, there are no enemies lying here, but there are problems with the things in these wooden boxes." Duan Jinglin squatted down and carefully opened a wooden box. Dozens of standardized bombs appeared inside, arranged neatly. He frowned: "These bombs are all finished products, and the explosion is powerful. Once triggered, hundreds of meters will be destroyed."

Zhang Chu took a step closer, stared at the bombs in the box, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Duan, will these bombs be triggered? For example, once we turn on a certain switch, they will all detonate?"

Duan Jinglin shook his head and carefully checked the line and said: "No triggering devices were found at present, they should be just stored, but these bombs look like they are waiting for transportation, indicating that the enemy may plan to transport them elsewhere for larger-scale damage."

Qin Yuan's expression became even colder when he heard this. He stood up, scanned the entire cargo area, and then ordered: "Continue to search for each box and corner to confirm if there are any clues here that can point to the enemy's next action."

Zhang Chu and Yue Ming acted quickly, and they carefully inspected the wooden box, discarded equipment and items in the corner. A few minutes later, Zhang Chu found a hidden map in an iron cabinet. He carefully took it out and handed it to Qin Yuan.

"Instructor, there is a map here, with multiple locations marked on it." Zhang Chu said, pointing to the map, with a little nervousness in his voice, "These points seem to be possible targets of the enemy."

Qin Yuan took the map, expanded it and observed carefully. Several important locations were circled with a red pen on the map, one of which was located in the abandoned shopping mall in the center of Tianming, while the other was marked near a residential area.

"Instructor, these two places may be the core strongholds of the enemy." Duan Jinglin came over and pointed to the map and said, "especially in the mall in the city center, if they transport the bombs there, once they detonate, the number of casualties will be very terrible."

Qin Yuan nodded with a cold look: "The abandoned factory is just their weapon storage point, not the core stronghold. They regard this place as a temporary base, and their real action target is likely to be in the city center."

Zhang Chu gritted his teeth and whispered: "Instructor, what should we do next? Go directly to the mall?"

Qin Yuan shook his head, his voice still calm: "No, the enemy may have arranged multiple defense lines. Rampant action will make us passive. We need clearer intelligence to ensure that the action is foolproof."

He looked at Duan Jinglin: "Can you extract any useful information from these bombs or equipment? For example, transportation records or communication records?"

Duan Jinglin nodded, took out his laptop computer and started connecting to an abandoned equipment inside the factory. After a moment, his expression changed slightly: "Instructor, there are some remaining data records here. Although it is partially encrypted, I discovered a key information - the target point of the enemy's latest communication was the city center mall marked on the map."

When Qin Yuan heard this, he immediately ordered in his headphones: "All employees should pay attention. After the cleaning of the abandoned factory is completed, our next target is the abandoned mall in the city center. This is likely to be the core stronghold of the enemy, and everyone is on high alert."

Zhang Chu looked at Qin Yuan with a firm look: "Instructor, I can be responsible for the reconnaissance tasks outside the mall to ensure our actions are smooth."

Qin Yuan nodded and patted Zhang Chu on the shoulder: "Okay, but remember, don't act without permission, follow orders in everything."

At this moment, the voice of the captain of the SWAT team Li Cheng came from the headphones: "Instructor Qin, we have captured a suspicious person on the periphery. After a brief interrogation, he gave some information. The enemy is indeed active near the abandoned mall in the city center, and plans to carry out a large-scale attack tonight."

Qin Yuan clenched his fists and looked like a knife: "Time is tight, we must act immediately."

He looked around the team and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Chu, you continue to be reconnaissance missions and go to the outside of the mall to collect intelligence first. Yue Ming assists the special police in blocking the surrounding areas and ensuring that no civilians enter the dangerous range. Duan Jinglin, you are responsible for following the team and ready to eliminate explosives and interference equipment at any time."

Everyone responded in unison: "Yes, instructor!"

Qin Yuan finally looked at Zhang Chu, his eyes as if it were like ice: "Remember, the enemy is extremely cunning, your every move may determine the success or failure of this mission. Don't take it lightly."

Zhang Chu nodded vigorously: "Yes, instructor! I will definitely complete the task!"

The air in the abandoned factory was as tight as a full bowstring. The team was extremely careful every step, but the enemy's reaction was obviously faster than expected.

"Instructor, there is movement in the factory." Zhang Chu reported in a low voice. He observed through the scope that an enemy with a gun appeared on the window on the second floor. The other party seemed to be using the walkie-talkie to inform someone of the situation.

Qin Yuan took a calm look and directed the team to disperse through gestures. He whispered: "The action begins! Zhang Chu, give priority to clearing high-level enemies. Duan Jinglin prepares for technical interference, and Yue Ming follows my cover to advance!"

"Yes!" Zhang Chu quickly adjusted his scope and held his breath. His gaze firmly locked the enemy at the window on the second floor, and gently pulled the trigger with his fingers.

"Bang!" With a muffled sound, the enemy was shot in the head and fell down weakly. Zhang Chu quickly pulled the bolt and continued to observe the surroundings to ensure that no more enemies were approaching.

As Zhang Chu's precise shooting began, the terrorists in the factory responded quickly, emerged from behind various bunkers, and began to fire violently at the team. The sound of bullets hitting the iron plates and walls echoed throughout the space, and the fire was flashing in the dark.

"Cover! Everyone is scattered!" Qin Yuan gave the order, and the team quickly hid behind the factory's cargo box and iron rack.

Zhang Chu lay behind a broken iron plate, adjusted his breathing and quickly confirmed the enemy's position. He found that there was an enemy on the second floor using an AK rifle to suppress the team's offensive route.

"Instructor, there is an enemy fire point on the right side of the second floor, I'll solve it!" Zhang Chu reported calmly, then quickly adjusted the muzzle and aimed at the opponent.
Chapter completed!
