Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 958 Tragedy
While Kobe was still hesitating about whether he should take the risk, the Mountain Eagles, under the cover of Robin and Galahad, had already broken through to the entrance of the barn.

In the darkness, the gunmen who used vehicles as cover were like rats in a bellows under the fire of the two top gunmen, Mountain Eagle and Robin. It seemed that no matter where they hid, bullets would find them.

The mountain eagle made almost no effort to reach the side of the barn's main entrance...

They watched as several gunmen huddled under the vehicle, firing wildly, completely unaware that their killers were already at their side...

Mountain Eagle shook his head slightly. He quickly changed the magazine on his AK-103, then pulled out two offensive grenades, released the safety, and rolled over close to the ground...

"Boom boom"

While the two loud explosions drew the attention of the enemies inside the barn, Mountain Eagle quickly slipped inside, skimming along the barn door...

"Papa, papa..."

As the two stunned gunmen were shot dead, Mountain Eagle, like an emotionless machine, ignored the terrified screams of the hostages in the barn and began to advance along the barn wall with his AK-103 in hand...

The gunmen inside the barn didn't have time to react. With the power cut off, the barn was plunged into darkness. Mountain Eagle pulled the trigger during the operation...

"Clap clap, clap clap, clap clap..."

There are no fancy tactical maneuvers; it's all about speed and accuracy against the enemy in a confined space.

Everyone had night vision goggles, but the opponent was clearly not very used to them...

In addition, the Mountain Eagle's unique tendency to attack from the weak side made it impossible for the drug dealer's gunman, whose vision was limited by night vision goggles, to lock onto him in a short time.

The barn held hundreds of hostages of all ages, mostly women and children, but the standoff between the kidnappers and the police depicted in the movie never materialized...

It turns out that under pressure, even having a gun isn't enough!

As the last few gunmen fell, Mountain Eagle swiftly moved through the barn, finishing off the gunmen's corpses while rapidly separating the bullets from their weapons...

Only after confirming that nothing had been missed did the mountain eagle carefully examine the environment inside the barn...

The first thing was a mixed stench; the huge barn was filled with the smell of human sweat, mixed with the smell of decay.

Some women let out suppressed sobs, while the children seemed terrified, sitting on the ground hugging their knees and sobbing incessantly, but even in their sobs they dared not make a sound.

The women and children in the barn were mostly Native Americans, with a small number of Easterners among them...

Mountain Eagle pulled out an LED headlamp and stuck it to the wall, illuminating the barn. He then carried a flashlight and walked around the barn, quickly finding the woman Peggy was looking for…

After confirming the other person's identity, Mountain Eagle did not make a fuss, but instead picked up a thin child who looked only four or five years old beside her...

Seeing the fear in the child's eyes, Mountain Eagle frowned, wiped the dirt off his face, walked to the barn door, stomped his foot, and shouted, "Stand up! I'm a member of the Arctic Fox Foundation, a partner organization of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. You're saved..."

I require you to obey my orders from now on. I will lead you across the border into America, where arrangements will be made for you.

To ensure everyone in the room could understand, Mountain Eagle repeated himself twice in English, Spanish, and Mandarin...

Perhaps because the mountain eagle's performance was more convincing, there was a commotion in the barn, and soon some women in their twenties stood up.

Mountain Eagle quickly identified several adult women. He beckoned to them and said, "Get all the adults up and take care of the other children. We're still some distance from the border, and we need to make sure no one is left behind."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle handed the child to a woman whose face he couldn't see, and said in a deep voice, "Have everyone move around a bit, but don't go outside... The battle outside isn't over yet, it's safer here!"

After saying that, Mountain Eagle didn't care what the other person thought. He turned around and headed to the northwest corner to support Kobe, who was in a passive position...

Just as he turned around, a girl with two braids grabbed his pants...

"Uncle, my mom and dad are missing. Can you help me find them?"

The girl's clear and articulate Mandarin startled Mountain Eagle. He turned to look at the trembling girl, hesitated for a moment, then reached out and ruffled her hair, saying, "Be a good girl, and I'll come find you after our battle is over..."

Don't wander off, I'll take you home!

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle's eyes swept over several Chinese women who seemed to want to say something but hesitated...

Sensing the evasive look in the eyes of two of them, Mountain Eagle felt a strange, indescribable feeling...

The term 'threading' was not yet widely known to the public at that time...

Before 2015, most Chinese people who illegally entered the United States used tourist visas. After getting off the plane, they would tear up their passports and find relatives or friends from their hometowns to meet them, or they would stay in the United States alone and illegally.

This practice effectively limits the number of illegal immigrants because there are eligibility requirements for US visas.

Compared to the brave Fujianese who dared to buy a boat ticket and venture to Europe along the Mediterranean coast, going to America was a much more difficult thing.

However, starting in 2015, Chinese people hoping to go to their "dream country" began to "discover" a loophole in the US-Mexico border under the encouragement of some people with ulterior motives, such as immigration agents, and then began to enter the United States by land through South America.

At first, even the local Mexican gangs were baffled. They couldn't understand why so many people in Tokyo, on the other side of the world, would take such a risk.
Do you really think our local gangs don't eat people?

It started with an agent bringing in clients, and then they paid smugglers at the Mexican border to help people cross the border...

Then soon the smugglers discovered that those intermediaries were making a lot of money, so they took over these wealthy men who longed for "democracy and freedom" from those 'intermediaries' who were exploiting loopholes.

Although they didn't understand why a group of people carrying LV bags and wearing clothes worth thousands of dollars would want to smuggle themselves into the country, it didn't stop them from plundering these 'guests' clean.

The most tragic cases are those children of the 'aspiring' ones...

The generation of Dongda students born in the 70s and 80s experienced hardship in their childhood and grew up in an environment influenced by Hong Kong and American blockbusters...

During that period, Dongda University had almost no complete national narrative, as if everything abroad was good.

When society develops to a certain point, some of them encounter life changes or acquire wealth that makes them feel uneasy due to their own reasons, and their first thought is to go to America.

Of course, those who choose to follow the route won't earn much money...

But they are definitely the group whose minds have been most thoroughly brainwashed, and also the most determined!

The eagles showed no sympathy for them, but those people's children were innocent...

Seeing the hesitant expressions on the faces of the several women from Dongda University, Mountain Eagle didn't say much. He comforted the girl with the braid, then turned and rushed out of the barn...

"Robin, you stay and watch over them..."
