Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

8:15 PM

Night had completely fallen, and the streets, which had been bustling all day, gradually quieted down.

One by one, windows were lit up, the soft yellow light casting a warm glow and guiding city dwellers home through the night.

After finishing dinner and chores, some people turned on the TV, while others walked out of their homes arm in arm.

The sidewalks and roadsides gradually became lively again, with various small vendors pushing carts and carrying shelves to their familiar spots to start preparing. For them, a new day had just begun.

Unbeknownst to anyone, a storm was about to sweep across the deep sea!

"Godzilla calls the wind, Godzilla calls the wind."

"Received, please speak."

"The frogs in the paddy fields have jumped to the shellfish fields, the frogs in the paddy fields have jumped to the shellfish fields."

"receive."

------

"Calling King Kong, King Kong, please respond."

"Received, please speak."

"Has Taihai paid his respects?"

"Not yet... no, the procession for paying respects is setting off! Repeat, the procession for paying respects is setting off!"

"The concubine cries out, it is the concubine who cries! They have begun! They have begun!"

"Received, get ready."

"receive!"

An Xiaohai glanced at his watch: 8:20

After seeing through Zhu Polong's preparations in the Yulong Wanghai villa area, An Xiaohai was greatly inspired.

If Zhu Polong made such arrangements for the main treasury, then his main artery would likely have made the same arrangements. In addition, the layout and surrounding environment of their three strongholds in Luotian District, Fuhai District and Baoshan District are quite similar, which further deepened An Xiaohai's suspicions.

An Xiaohai originally judged that the vaults in the three districts were public vaults located in the three buildings, and that the special areas on the second basement level of the parking lot were used to attract fire.

But then I thought, no, someone like Zhu Polong would never entrust his life to someone else, and using a public treasury would make him more vulnerable to being targeted. If something goes wrong with the public treasury, he could also be implicated.

They should have other plans!

The unique area on the second basement level of the three buildings' underground parking garage is the first layer of bait; the common vault of the three buildings is the second layer of bait, and their real vault should be nearby.

When Xu Congzhou called An Xiaohai and asked him to attend a meeting at the tea shop, An Xiaohai was finalizing the details.

After a careful on-site investigation, An Xiaohai indeed discovered a clue:

The actual place where they stored their cash was on the basement floor of the Beitian Building next to the Shuitian Building in Luotian District.

The Taihai Building in Fuhai District, and the Tai'an Building next door, are where they actually store their cash.

The same applies to Baoshan District. The place where they actually store cash is not in Baoshan Building, where the headquarters of Huben Security Escort Company is located, but in Baochuan Building next to Baoshan Building.

Zhu Polong and his group probably stored the cash they collected from various locations in a special area on the second basement level. After most companies closed for the night, they would take the elevator to the first floor and then transfer the money to the actual vault in the adjacent building.

As for why they parked the car on the basement level, it was to mislead the enemy who came to investigate and draw their attention to the public vault on the basement level.

These adjacent buildings also share a common feature: their ground floors are interconnected, making it impossible to see them transferring cash from the outside.

Isn't it tiring to make things so complicated?

An Xiaohai let out a breath. Now that they had started transferring cash into the real vault, let's officially begin!

"The wind calls Godzilla, the wind calls King Kong."

"Godzilla received!" "King Kong received!"

"I picked up my package. Repeat, I picked up my package!"

"receive!"

In the Armed Police Command Center, Xiao Luo nodded to Zhou Meng. Zhou Meng took a deep breath and picked up the walkie-talkie:

"Reconnaissance company, move out!"

In the tea plantation's command center, Yan Hong glanced at Xu Congzhou, who ignored him and continued brewing tea. Yan Hong secretly made a face and picked up the walkie-talkie.

"Brothers, come out and greet the customers!"

------

In a remote village in Longling District, four armed police reconnaissance soldiers dressed in plainclothes and carrying large duffel bags nimbly scaled a high wall and quickly knocked out three men who were eating hot pot in the courtyard.

A soldier took out a crowbar and forcefully pried open a roller shutter door in the yard.

Wow~

The roller shutter door was pulled up, revealing a small garage where a brand-new Hummer was parked quietly.

"Squad leader!" another young soldier called out, his eyes lighting up.

"Shut up! Call me Boss!" The squad leader's eyes bulged. "I've emphasized this to you two days already, have you all forgotten?! We're criminals of the Big Circle Gang now, if you keep calling me that, get back to where you were!"

The young soldier stuck out his tongue, took out a small screwdriver, stuck it into the car door lock, and then twisted it hard. With a click, the car door opened.

The young soldier grinned and pulled open the car door, but just then, the Hummer emitted a sharp alarm.

As the alarm sounded, the once peaceful village gradually became restless, with voices coming from all directions, indicating that many people were rushing in this direction.

"Boss... what do we do?" The young soldier was also startled.

"What are you asking? You're useless at everything, but you're number one at eating! Hurry up and start the car."

"oh."

The young soldier pulled out his dagger and went to find the ignition wire, while the squad leader picked up the walkie-talkie: "Report, there's an alarm on the vehicle, our operation has been exposed! Many people are rushing this way, please give instructions!"

"Fire!" Zhou Meng gritted his teeth and gave the order.

"But boss, it's too dark. We can't tell who's coming. I'm afraid opening fire might cause friendly fire!"

"Use your brain! I told you to fire, not to hit anyone!" Zhou Meng slammed his fist on the table in anger.

"Got it, boss!" Hearing the commotion on the other end, the squad leader was startled. He put down the walkie-talkie, waved his hand, and led two soldiers to climb up the pile of debris next to the wall.

The squad leader peeked over the wall and felt a chill run down his spine. Many villagers were rushing towards them with flashlights. The flickering lights revealed a jumble of people, and it was clear that they were all carrying weapons.

"Brothers, raise your guns and fire!"

After the squad leader gave the order, he picked up his AK and pulled the trigger, pointing it at the sky. The other two soldiers did the same, raising their AKs and Uzis and firing in all directions.

Da Da Da~

buzz~

The sound of gunfire shattered the tranquility of the night, throwing the crowd rushing toward the garage into chaos. In a panic, they dropped their flashlights and jostled each other, hiding behind walls, buildings, and other obstacles.

The engine roared to life, and the Humvee finally started. The squad leader and a soldier jumped off the wall, opened the garage door, and the car drove over. The three of them raised their guns and fired as they jumped into the Humvee.

The Hummer's powerful engine let out a deep roar as it sped toward the village entrance.

Shouts erupted from the darkness of the village, and those who had been hiding rushed forward again, shouting.

The squad leader ordered the soldiers to roll down the car windows and lean out to continue firing. The Humvee, like a fire dragon spewing flames, plunged into the darkness ahead.

------

The security personnel were clearly more experienced than the armed police officers. They did not trigger the vehicle's alarm. Hearing the dense gunfire in the distance, the security team member driving the car looked at the team leader sitting in the passenger seat.

"What are you looking at, kid?" the team leader said impatiently.

"Team leader, look how much fun the armed police are having. I feel like we're missing out by just getting the car out like this!"

"Yeah, team leader, I've never even used Uzi!" another team member sitting in the back seat chimed in.

"Alright, alright, shut up, all of you!" The team leader picked up the walkie-talkie impatiently: "Xiao Qi calling the boss, we're being chased! We're being chased!"

"We're being chased..." Yan Hong's voice was lazy. "If you're being chased, just beat them up! Anyway, Fifth Brother's side has already started fighting, what are you afraid of? Let's all fight together, it'll be more exciting!"

"Roger that!" The team leader put down the walkie-talkie, a slight smile playing on his lips. "The boss said, if anyone's chasing us, we'll beat them up!"

"Boss, but nobody's chasing us right now!" the guy who complained first said, looking bewildered.

"This kid, is he out of his mind?" The team leader glared at him: "I said someone's chasing us, so someone's chasing us! Beat them up!"

The team leader rolled down the car window, pulled out his Uzi, and fired it into the sky.

The Uzi's suppressor spewed flames wildly, and in less than two seconds, a magazine of bullets was emptied. The sound didn't sound like a gun being fired, but rather like a swarm of wasps buzzing around your ear!

"Awesome!" the team leader grinned.

In fact, the opportunity to fire a gun is extremely rare in all of the Security Department's operations. The team leader has never even fired a gun in an operation before. This time, he's going to have a good time!

Tea Plantation Command Center

"Xiao Yan, I forgot to tell you, because we're afraid the other side will trace the source of our weapons, we've been using weapons provided by An Xiaohai."

It costs money! 9mm bullets are 10 yuan each, 762 bullets are 30 yuan each, firearms and silencers are extra.

An Xiaohai, that kid, is really cunning!

"However many bullets you fired, or how many guns and accessories you wore out, will be deducted from your salary, no matter how many you gave the order to fire," Xu Congzhou said casually while sipping his tea.

"What?! What did you say, boss?!" Yan Hong's mouth dropped open, and he almost dropped his walkie-talkie.

Royal Garden

The third brother was at home watching cartoons with his eldest grandson, but for some reason, he felt somewhat restless today.

Just then, a cell phone that he rarely used suddenly rang.

Third Brother was startled, and the remote control in his hand fell to the ground with a "thud".

Haiwei Village

In a secluded building on the edge of the village, Li Maocai paced back and forth in the room, looking somewhat uneasy. Several other people were sitting in the room, watching Li Maocai without daring to breathe loudly.

The higher-ups ordered Li Maocai to gather Guo Xiangshui's former gang of brothers, but Li Maocai knew that Da Xian, Lao Ba, and the others would never follow him to traffic drugs.

These people don't even want to do smuggling anymore, so how could they possibly go into drug trafficking?

A few days ago, Li Maocai had a fight with Daxian and the others because he refused to send Guo Xiangshui's body back to his hometown.

Li Maocai definitely wanted to go; he and Guo Xiangshui were the closest of friends, but he really couldn't leave!

During this period, a series of blows caused the Sea Hawks to suffer extremely heavy losses. Not only did they lose a lot of goods, but they also lost a lot of manpower. Li Maocai could not possibly leave Shenhai City. If he left Shenhai City, the Sea Hawks would have no one in control here.

"What on earth happened? How could things have suddenly turned out like this?!" Li Maocai sighed inwardly.

Just then, a cell phone he rarely used suddenly rang, and then everyone else's cell phones in the room rang at the same time.

Li Maocai felt his hair stand on end!
