The department store near the safe house was the highest point in the area due to its height, offering an excellent view. Wade sat in a recliner, idly flipping through a copy of Playboy. Alejandro used a pair of binoculars to observe the activity on the street.
He had received professional training from the CIA and immediately discovered the cameras and listening devices in the safe house.
Isabella Reyes had been moved to another safe location, but Alejandro wasn't sure whether the people installing the cameras were from the Mata Group, the Reyes Group, or the CIA, so he chose a secret location known only to him.
Broly volunteered to stay behind as bait, wanting to find out who the observers were. Otherwise, if someone was always watching from behind, their actions would be like having a knife held to their back, constantly needing to be wary of a stab.
"A convoy is approaching, very suspicious. Get up! It's in the C Zone, three black SUVs, coming from afar."
Alejandro suddenly became alert.
Wade tossed the Playboy aside and picked up his M40A3 sniper rifle, resting it on the parapet of the department store roof.
The two had competed in shooting skills before, and although Alejandro was very reluctant to admit it, Wade's sniping skills were genuinely superior to his. So Alejandro acted as the spotter, and Wade as the sniper.
Wade observed the convoy approaching from the street through the scope.
"Ha, Cadre. They don't look like good people."
(Cadre-type full-size SUVs are usually the bad guys' cars in movies.)
"Be on high alert."
Alejandro said to Wade, consulting the range card.
Sniper is a technique that requires considering distance, bullet type, wind speed, wind direction, temperature, atmospheric pressure, and target type, among other factors. Even the sniper's blood pressure and heartbeat can affect whether the bullet hits the target.
The range card is a way of recording and applying various factors.
It has been used since World War II. Modern sniper teams all have a pre-printed standard chart, divided into a drawing area, a target information area, and an auxiliary description area.
The drawing area is a 180° semicircle, marked with different distances at equal intervals, divided into several sectors with dashed lines, and then using contour lines to draw the topographical features and conspicuous landmarks in the sniper area, numbered with digits.
The target information area records the basic information of reference targets such as locations, distances, angles of elevation, and positioning descriptions.
The auxiliary description area mainly records the basic information of auxiliary design, such as the observation location, the direction of north, the amount of correction at different distances, wind direction, wind speed, temperature, humidity, and air pressure.
"Did you notice the woman in the front passenger seat of the second SUV?"
Alejandro's tone was a bit serious.
"Wow, what a figure. I feel like she could snap my neck with one arm." Wade kept chattering, but his hands and feet didn't slow down. He put the Dust Angel into the scope. "Should I fire?"
Alejandro said with some self-reproach:
"Wait, I know this person. Bullets may not work on her. It seems that the people who are watching us are from the Mutant Factory. Damn it, the mutant we captured must have a signal transmitter on him. I was careless!"
He knew that Francis from the Mutant Factory. This person was very mysterious, and there was no information about him even in the CIA's database. This person not only runs the factory but also has an underground boxing ring where mutant boxers fight, and he has considerable power in Mexico.
Matt had tried to mobilize CIA resources to investigate Francis's information, but it was soon stopped.
"Let's wait. Since this woman appeared here, Francis should also be here. There may be a large number of mutants in the convoy. Taking action first will only alert them and make them more alert. It's useless."
Alejandro was very calm; he knew that their main combat strength was Broly.
"Our mission is mainly to observe the battlefield and provide battlefield information for Broly."
The three Cadre stopped at the door of the safe house. After the car doors opened, fully armed soldiers filed out.
Francis looked at the surveillance video on the PDA; the target was still boxing as usual.
"The target has not found any abnormalities. Put on the gas masks, the third group will surround the building, the others break in."
They have rich experience in how to capture mutants. Some mutants are physically strong, and the anesthetic needles fired by the tranquilizer guns cannot penetrate their tough skin. Therefore, they use anesthetic smoke canisters. This potent anesthetic, specially designed for mutants, has a dose that is enough to anesthetize more than two thousand people with one canister. Even for elephants, it only takes three seconds from inhalation to falling unconscious.
After speaking, the first group, the second group, and the fourth group instantly blew open the door of the safe house and broke in.
"Broly! Be careful! They are going to use poison gas! Strike first and move the battlefield to the street, the wind will disperse the poison gas."
Alejandro immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and warned Broly after he saw those soldiers start putting on gas masks.
"Aim at the guy holding the PDA, he is Francis!" He glanced at the anemometer and reported the data: "Distance is three hundred and fifty-two meters, wind direction is three-quarters to the right, correct to the left by two. Wait for Broly to make his move before firing!"
Wade put Francis in his scope and began to adjust his breathing.
"Leave it to me, I guarantee I'll blow his head off."
The soldiers who broke into the safe house were advancing cautiously and quickly. The first person pulled the pin of the smoke canister, and the green smoke-emitting canister rolled deep into the corridor.
The lights were off in the corridor, and the curtains were drawn, making it dark and impossible to see the situation inside. The air was a bit quiet, and you could only hear your heartbeat, the sound of hurried footsteps, and the sound of the smoke canister rolling.
The target! Where are their targets?
The next moment, they heard the howling of the wind.
"Wolf Fang Wind Fist!"
The high-speed swinging fists drove the air, making a sound like a wolf pack howling. Before those soldiers could see their enemy, they had already been hit by the fists and claws, torn to pieces.
One of the soldiers' pupils shrank, and dense, diamond-shaped scales immediately proliferated beneath his skin, tearing through his combat suit. This was his proud superpower.
The next moment, a palm directly pierced his chest, destroyed the internal organs in the cavity, and then instantly withdrew.
The people hit by the fist didn't even have a chance to scream before they were killed. In the dark corridor, only the sound of flesh and blood being torn by fists could be heard. The anesthetic, which they considered their trump card, was swept away by the fist wind, and it couldn't even get close to Broly.
