Squid Who Loves Diving
Chapter 464 "Believe"
Jiang Baimian and the others didn't dare to continue forward because the vehicles were large and there was nothing to shield them from here to Pier No. 1, and the port lights were relatively intact, so the night was not so dark.
This would make it easy for people at Pier No. 1 to see vehicles approaching, if there were people there.
Anmian Mao glanced back at Shang Jianyao and the others, did not stop, and passed through the container piles, moving in various shadows, still heading towards Pier No. 1.
"Observe," Jiang Baimian said to Shang Jianyao and the others, trying to keep her voice down.
She took out a telescope from her tactical backpack, opened the door and got out of the car, found a good position, and looked towards Pier No. 1.
Long Yuehong and Han Wanghuo also did similar things.
As for Genaewa, he didn't use a telescope, he already had this function integrated.
At this time, at Pier No. 1, the street lights were no different from the surrounding area, but there were many wooden boxes piled below, and a considerable number of humans scattered around.
Outside the pier, the Hong River was wide and dark, seemingly capable of swallowing all ships on this moonless and starless night.
In the darkness, a ship sailed out, quietly approaching Pier No. 1, with only the sound of water and the faint sound of the engine audible.
Under the guidance of the navigation lights, the ship stopped at Pier No. 1 and opened the "abdomen" door.
At the door, a ramp extended out, paving a road for vehicles to drive on. The people waiting at the pier either drove small trucks directly into the ship to move goods, or used forklifts, cranes and other tools to get busy.
All of this was carried out in an almost silent environment, with no noise, no conversation.
"Smuggling..." Jiang Baimian, holding the telescope, nodded with some understanding.
After unloading the cargo from the ship, those people began to send the wooden boxes originally piled on the pier into the ship's hold.
At this time, Anmian Mao approached from the side, relying on his not-too-large size, agility, and silent movement, easily avoiding the sight of most humans, and came to the side of the ship.
Suddenly, a human guarding the ship's door closed his eyes, his head drooped, and he swayed, as if he had directly entered a dream.
Seizing this opportunity, Anmian Mao flashed into the ship's hold and hid behind a pile of wooden boxes.
The "dozing" person suddenly woke up as his body sank, rubbed his eyes in fear, and yawned.
This is how Anmian Mao enters and exits Initial City without being discovered by official personnel... Relying on smuggling ships... This should be closely related to the Initial City army patrolling the Hong River... Long Yuehong understood what was going on after seeing this scene.
"How do we drive the car into the ship? There are so many people, if a conflict breaks out, even if it's small, it can be resolved in less than a minute, it will attract enough attention." Han Wanghuo put down the telescope and asked Jiang Baimian with a solemn expression.
He believed that the Xue Shiyue team had the ability to deal with these smugglers, but now what was needed was not to settle the matter, but to solve it silently without causing any disturbance.
This was very difficult, after all, there were many opponents.
Jiang Baimian did not answer immediately, but looked around and observed the environment.
Her eyes quickly fell on a street lamp at Pier No. 1.
There was a broadcast set up there, which was usually used to report situations and direct loading and unloading.
This is a basic configuration of a port.
Before Jiang Baimian could speak, Shang Jianyao smiled:
"Ask them to listen to a song, and if it doesn't work, listen to it again."
Do you want everyone on the pier to go to the toilet? The Hong River is outside, they can solve it on the spot... Long Yuehong couldn't help but slander.
Of course, he knew that Shang Jianyao would definitely not make such a leaky suggestion, but compared to broadcasting, this guy preferred songs.
Jiang Baimian then looked at Genaewa:
"Lao Ge, invade the system and take over those loudspeakers."
"Okay." Genaewa immediately ran towards the nearest street lamp with a broadcast.
Han Wanghuo and Zeng Duo were confused and didn't understand what the Xue Shiyue team wanted to do or how to achieve their goals.
Listen to songs? Play the broadcast? What's the point of this? Both of them had relatively calm personalities and did not ask, but observed.
Before long, Genaewa controlled several loudspeakers at Pier No. 1, and Shang Jianyao walked next to him, took out a portable tape recorder, and connected it to a certain circuit.
Jiang Baimian withdrew her gaze and smiled at Han Wanghuo and Zeng Duo:
"Next, you have to block your ears."
…………
At Pier No. 1, Gao Deng and others were busy completing the first deal of the night.
Suddenly, they heard a buzzing sound from the loudspeakers on the nearby street lights.
Gao Deng, who was in charge of the central command, looked over, both puzzled and vigilant.
The unprecedented encounter made him unable to predict what would happen next.
He preferred to believe that this was a fault in the port broadcasting system - perhaps a thief had entered the control room and caused a series of accidents due to a lack of relevant knowledge.
Hope was hope, Gao Deng was not careless, and immediately asked several of his leaders to urge the rest to hurry up and move the partial goods out of the pier immediately, and prepare for an attack.
The next second, in the quiet night, the broadcast made a sound:
"So, we must remember that when facing things we don't understand, we must humbly ask for advice, put aside the prejudices brought about by experience, and don't be full of resistance from the beginning. We must embrace the attitude of accepting all rivers, to learn, to understand, to master, to accept..."
A slightly magnetic male voice echoed in this area, reaching the ears of every smuggler.
Gao Deng and others entered their expected positions at the same time as the sound sounded, waiting for the enemy to appear.
But no subsequent attack occurred, and even the male voice in the broadcast subsided after repeating the same words twice.
Everything was so quiet.
Gao Deng and others looked at each other, all confused.
If it weren't for the fact that there were so many goods that hadn't been processed yet, they would definitely evacuate the pier area immediately and stay away from this weird thing.
But now, wealth gave them courage.
"Continue! Hurry up!" Gao Deng left his hiding place and urged his subordinates.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two cars driving over one after the other.
One was a gray-green jeep and the other was a dark black off-road vehicle.
Han Wanghuo and Zeng Duo in the off-road vehicle were very uneasy, and felt that going straight to Pier No. 1 without doing anything or preparing anything was like a child playing house.
They had no confidence at all and severely lacked a sense of security.
Gao Deng, with a face full of stubble, was about to raise his submachine gun and call his subordinates to deal with the enemy, when someone in the gray-green jeep held a loudspeaker and shouted loudly:
"Friends!"
Yes, friends... Gao Deng believed this sentence.
His subordinates also believed it.
Two cars drove into Pier No. 1 one after the other, Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others behaved very friendly and put away all their weapons.
"Is the transaction going smoothly today?" Shang Jianyao stuck his head out of the car window and asked familiarly.
Gao Deng breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Not bad."
Since they were friends, the alert could be lifted.
Shang Jianyao pointed to the ship at the pier again:
"Didn't you say you would take us across the river?"
"Haha, I almost forgot." Gao Deng pointed to the ship's hold door, "Go in."
He and his subordinates believed Shang Jianyao's words without any doubt.
The two cars drove into the ship's hold one after the other. There were already many wooden boxes piled up here, but there was still enough space.
The progress of the matter made Han Wanghuo and Zeng Duo stare blankly.
They had all seen the abilities of the Awakened, but they had never seen such outrageous, exaggerated, and terrifying abilities!
If they hadn't been following the whole time, they would have definitely thought that the Xue Shiyue team and these smugglers had known each other for a long time, or even cooperated, and could get assistance by simply informing them of the situation.
"Just playing a broadcast made everyone who heard the content choose to help us?" Han Wanghuo finally stabilized his mentality and didn't let the vehicle deviate from its course, and stopped in the area near the door of the ship's hold.
In his opinion, this had surpassed the scope of "superpowers" and was almost some kind of mythology left over from the Old World.
At this moment, the two once again raised their assessment of the strength of the Xue Shiyue team.
Han Wanghuo felt that compared to the Hongshi Collection, the other party was obviously much stronger, much stronger.
After a while, the goods were moved, the ramp at the ship's hold was put away, and the door was closed.
With the sound of the machine running, the ship left Pier No. 1 and sailed towards the opposite bank of the Hong River.
On the way, it encountered the patrolling "Initial City" aquatic guard team.
The other side did not stop the ship, but just shouted a few words when the two sides "brushed past":
"If you can postpone the transactions these days, postpone them. The situation is a bit tense now, and the higher-ups may send people to check and supervise at any time!"
The ship's owner gave a "no problem" answer.
As time went by, a hidden pier half-surrounded by hills and small mountains appeared diagonally in front of the ship sailing upstream.
Multiple torches and some electric lights were lit here, illuminating the surrounding area.
At this time, there were already many cars and a large number of people waiting at the pier.
The ship sailed over and docked at the designated location.
The door of the ship's hold opened again, and the ramp was set up.
The ship's owner on the deck and the smuggler boss on the pier saw this and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, they heard a "buzzing" sound.
Immediately afterwards, a gray-green jeep and a dark black off-road vehicle rushed out of the ship's hold at lightning speed and drove onto the shore.
They did not stop or slow down, but directly crashed through obstacles and rushed madly towards the road between the hills and small mountains.
Bang bang bang, da da da!
It took several seconds before the smugglers remembered to shoot, but the two cars had already opened the distance.
Before the gunfire subsided, they only left a back view and disappeared into the depths of the darkness.
