Dragon Clan: Avoid the College Entrance Examination to Slay the Dragon

Chapter 64 Action
Ye Sheng's golden eyes flashed two streams of flame in the darkness, and he suddenly stopped. He gestured tactically behind him: "Aki, come from behind."

Aki Shutoku knelt on one knee and unloaded the long black rifle case from her back. The metal buckle popped open, and she raised the telescopic stock of the Mk11 Mod 0 sniper rifle to her shoulder. Through the thermal imaging scope, she saw a yawning orange figure swaying in the corner.

"pat"

The moment the 7.62mm subsonic bullet penetrated the man's forehead, the blood splattering on the back of his head appeared in a strange dark purple color in the thermal image.

The sound of the body falling was drowned out by the waves, and Aki quickly put away his gun.

"You fight well, but not as good as me." Ye Sheng nodded.

"What do you care!" Aki put the warm shell into the tactical bag and then made a face.

Ye Sheng smiled and pressed the intercom button, his golden eyes staring at the porthole of the distant cabin: "Team leader, the front section of the deck has been cleared."

Walker's voice came over the intercom: "Good, they don't know we're coming yet. Meet up in the cab."

"receive."

Ye Sheng turned his head and raised his chin towards Yaji, "Let's go."

The two of them scurried along the shadow of the container, the muffled thud of their boots hitting the ground perfectly drowned out by the sound of the waves. As they dodged into the freighter's superstructure, Yaji suddenly grabbed Ye Sheng's tactical vest.

"There is an infrared alarm on the third deck." Aki signaled with lip language.

Ye Sheng's golden eyes suddenly brightened, his dragon blood granting him night vision, allowing him to clearly see the red beam of light across the stairwell. He adjusted his angle and suddenly swung out his dagger, the blade precisely severing the power cord.

Aki gave a thumbs up: [Great]

They spiraled up the fire escape, the salty smell of the sea breeze mixed with the smell of rust filling their nostrils. At the corner of the fourth floor, Yaji suddenly grabbed Ye Sheng's shoulder and gestured: [Number of enemies]

Ye Sheng closed his eyes and concentrated, the Word Spirit Serpent's domain quietly unfolding. An invisible spirit moved along the metal pipes, feeding the building's sound waves back to his nerve endings. He suddenly opened his eyes and began to gesture: [All in the top floor cab]

Aki raised her eyebrows and gestured: [How many?]

Ye Sheng held up five fingers and curled one of them - this was a code they invented during their student days, representing "four and a half", meaning four were awake and one was dozing off.

When they rushed to the top floor, Walker was kneeling beside the cab door, making a tactical gesture: [Position?]

Ye Sheng pointed his index finger towards the interior: [Five, all in the cockpit]

The tense lines in Walker's jaw relaxed slightly, and he gestured behind him to break the door. All six specialists instantly pressed against the wall. The blaster pulled plastic explosives from his belt and pressed his fingertips against the clay-like substance at the door lock.

Walker's left hand hovered in the air, and the countdown began. The shadow of his curled knuckles cast on the hatch like a falcon's folding wings. When the second finger was about to bend,

"boom!"

A red cloud of fire suddenly exploded in the southeastern port area, and the shock wave made the porthole glass buzz continuously.

Suddenly, alarm bells rang. Ye Sheng was shocked. What had happened? Had the operation been exposed?
"Break!" Walker's roar drowned out the alarm.

The blaster's thumb pressed hard on the detonator. The hatch transformed into twisted metal petals in the smoke. Ye Sheng and Walker rushed in almost simultaneously, their gunfire crisscrossing golden lines in the dim cabin. Four figures fell one after another amid the crisp sound of falling shell casings.

Walker suddenly turned the gun around, and the last bullet accurately tore open the fifth man's right shoulder. The man fell to the ground, and his screams mixed with electronic noise were particularly harsh.

"Tie him up." Walker crushed the prisoner's wrist with his military boots and pressed the barrel of the gun against his temple like a branding iron.

The prisoner roared vicious curses in Spanish. Although Walker did not understand the specific words, he could tell that he was scolding him. He turned the butt of the gun and smashed it into the other's cheekbone. The sound of bones cracking and screams exploded at the same time, and a dark red fountain of blood suddenly gushed out of the prisoner's collapsed nose.

Shude Aki pulled out the tactical straps and half-knelt on the ground, deliberately increasing the force when wrapping the grappling rope around the prisoner's fractured right shoulder.

“Ah—!” She tightened the last buckle expressionlessly. “Your scolding is so nasty.”

Ye Sheng held onto the edge of the porthole with one hand, his golden eyes reflecting the crimson clouds of fire rolling over the port area. "Team Leader, what's going on in the port area?"

Walker stood beside him and pressed the microphone: "Command Center, the freighter is under control. What happened in the port area?"

Professor Schneider's distinctive sandpaper-like voice echoed through the cacophony of electricity: "There's a hybrid spirit in the harbor that's a ghost. They took us by surprise and detonated an arsenal."

Walker held the microphone and said solemnly, "Command, what can we do?"

"Let Ye Sheng come to the port area. His spiritual words are very useful in street fighting." Schneider replied.

"Got it." Walker looked at Ye Sheng, "You heard the order."

"Okay. I'll go now." Ye Sheng nodded and immediately began to organize equipment and replenish ammunition.

Aki suddenly raised her right hand, "What about me?"

Walker propped his hat up with the barrel of his gun, his lips curled up. "Don't bother with your 'ordinary colleague' for now." He kicked the bleeding shoulder of the captive at his feet. "You speak Spanish, right? Come and translate."

Then he turned and gestured towards the shadows, "'Skeleton', you and Ye Sheng go to the harbor together."

The executive officer wearing a skull mask in the corner of the cabin nodded silently.

Ye Sheng's old face turned red and he fled from the cabin.

Aki blushed even more, "Team Leader!"

"Come and translate." Walker stomped his boot hard on the prisoner's broken right arm and leaned over amidst the screams. "Tell him if he says anything false, I'll break his other arm. Ask him why the port suddenly stopped radio silence."

Aki began to translate, and the prisoner spat blood foam that splashed on the tip of Aki's boots, and spoke quickly in his native language.

"He said we were about to start loading, but we were ambushed before we even started. He also said we were cowards for the ambush." ​​Aki took a half step back and glanced at the prisoner with disdain.

"What's the cargo?"

The captive grinned, his teeth bloodied, and Aki's voice tightened as he translated, "Drugs."

"Where is the destination?"

"He said... Baltimore."

Walker suddenly grabbed the prisoner by the collar and brought him to his face. "Besides drugs, what else are you transporting?"

Before Aki's simultaneous interpretation finished, the captive suddenly burst into manic laughter, Spanish curse words mixed with blood foam. Walker, without warning, twisted his waist and swung his fist, his brass knuckles clattering against his cheekbone, and the captive rolled his eyes and collapsed.

"So you know a little Spanish." Aki stared at the blood splattered on the ground.

"It's limited to swear words. What did he say after that?"

"He said he was just a pawn and didn't know anything, but he knew we would definitely die."

"stupid guy."

Walker shook the blood off his gloves and walked towards the control console. "Notify everyone down there to turn this ship over and see if they can find anything!"
