Grandpa said he wasn't tempted

Chapter 127 Desert Operation
"Operation code name: Desert Falcon." The desert guide glanced at the sun in the east and raised his wrist: "Now adjust the time!"

"42:[-] a.m. ET."

The scene was completely silent.

Rows of men in yellow camouflage uniforms lowered their heads to adjust their watches one by one.

The guide is only 30 years old, with a muscular body and a strong physique. He walks among the subordinates of the same build, like soldiers reviewing, with great momentum.

He stepped on black Martin boots, walked past rows of people, arranged for the counting, and finally came to the front of the car formation.

The second car in line was a white Grand Cherokee, tall and unassailable. The guide walked to the passenger's door.

"Brother Jin, everyone has been counted."

The window of the car was rolled down, and the hand holding the cigarette was resting on the door. A cold and handsome face was half covered by sunglasses, but even so, it was still fierce.

"Taozi hasn't arrived yet?" He Jin asked.

There are a total of seven cars and an elite team of 26 people. It is really unreasonable that they can't even gather on time.The guide is a member of He's Group, and he knows the young master's temper well, so he dare not say anything, just answer one sentence.

"Yes, we should go."

Mapei's team left two hours ago, and He Jin's side, according to the plan, should also start.Otherwise, in the endless desert, if you lose your target, it will be difficult to find a needle in a haystack.

Really can't wait any longer.

He Jin's eyes were hidden behind the sunglasses, but the cold light shot, the lethality remained undiminished. He looked at Fang Shuo in the driver's seat, and his scalp tingled.

Fang Shuo: "Last night, I went to Taozi's dormitory to look for him. No one was there, and the phone couldn't be reached. I don't know what the hell is going on, kid."

In fact, what Fang Shuo was worried about was that Meng Tingtao would run away.

After all, Meng Tingtao had always been against going into the desert before, fearing death, not coming, being a coward, it was human nature.

But this trip was kept extremely secret, if Meng Tingtao didn't come, they would rush on the road, and they couldn't help worrying whether Meng Tingtao had turned his back and took refuge in Ma's company.

Like, they could infiltrate spies into Mapei's team, so why wouldn't Mapei send someone to undercover them.

Meng Tingtao's stupidity and fear of death really make people feel uneasy.

So, whether to wait or go, no one dared to make this decision except He Jin.

Fang Shuo: "Why don't I call Taozi again?"

Just as he was talking, there was a burst of sand flying in the distance, and he saw a big black Land Rover rushing over, pressing down on the gravel and rubble on the road.

The guide was overjoyed: "Okay, okay, people are here!"

The place where the team gathered was a newly built road ten kilometers north of Linnan City. The construction had just been completed and it was not yet open to traffic. Not to mention that it was sparsely populated. Continue north along the road and it was the only road into the desert.

Arranging for everyone to meet here is convenient for getting on the road and avoiding people's eyes and ears.

Just like at this moment, Meng Tingtao's posture of slamming on the accelerator and flying dust from the rear of the car, if he was in the city, he would have been stopped by the traffic police long ago.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Meng Tingtao woke up and looked at his watch. He almost peed in fright, and drove all the way here, seemingly running a red light, and finally arrived before ten o'clock.

As soon as his car stopped, he hurried to He Jintou's car, out of breath, as if he was running over, sweating profusely, and extremely embarrassed.

"Brother Jin...Brother Jin...I, I'm late..."

He hadn't even shaved and smelled of alcohol.

He Jin frowned.

Fang Shuo missed his shoulder and stretched out his head to scold him: "What did you do last night? I didn't answer the phone either."

Meng Tingtao's face turned bitter: "I...I...Why didn't I do anything!"

Maybe it was frightened, or maybe it was panting, but Meng Tingtao, who has always been upright and confident, stammered, and everyone didn't worry about it.

He Jin raised his chin and tilted his head.

"Get in the car and go."

"Oh!" Meng Tingtao turned around to drive his own car, but Fang Shuo stopped him.

"Hey! Where are you going?! Get in this car!"

Meng Tingtao pointed to his car: "I, I..."

"Let them drive your car for you, come up, brother Jin still has plans to talk about!"

……

The route into the desert was drawn up early in the morning.

Especially the road ahead, about 100 kilometers long, has a ready-made asphalt road. They will follow wherever Mapei goes, and they will not be easily exposed after a two-hour drive.

This paragraph is very simple.

The hard part is the back road.

According to the informant, Ace of Spades was very cautious, and even Mapei didn't know where to meet for the deal, and Ace of Spades notified them all at short notice.

As a result, it is uncertain where everyone will go in the end. This uncertainty greatly increases the difficulty of this desert trip.

Who knows if they will stay at the gobi stall for a day, or a month?

It can be said that this chase is not only about who has the most powerful firepower, but also about endurance, fighting spirit, and strategy.

In the end, when the people were exhausted, the two sides had a firefight and killed each other in desperation, that was the real victory.

Therefore, He Jin was not aggressive along the way.

In order to preserve the team's physical strength, the team has been advancing at a speed of [-] kilometers per hour. At noon, when the temperature was hot, he also issued an order to arrange for everyone to stop for dinner.

Although it is early summer, the power of the sun is not inferior at all.

The ground is scorched, the asphalt road, not to mention hot feet, even the air is burned and twisted.

Eight large off-road vehicles each found a shade and parked on the side of the road.

As for the shade of the trees, it is just a few scattered poplar trees, not much thicker than an arm. The car is hidden in it, either out of the head or out of the tail, which can't cool down at all.

Everyone got out of the car, stretched themselves, and began to distribute mineral water.

The subordinates that He Jin brought out this time were all selected elites, well-organized, and many of them were professional soldiers who had retired from the army. They were no strangers to this harsh environment.

Everyone talked and laughed, got their meals, and gathered beside the car in twos and threes, and began to eat all kinds of convenience foods.

He Jin also got out of the car, walked down the asphalt road, stood in the golden Gobi, drank his saliva, squinted and looked into the distance.

The guide just came back from the survey and reported.

"There are tire prints from the convoy ahead. Mapei and the others are probably about the same as ours. There are no more than ten cars, which is basically consistent with the informant's information."

He Jin nodded.

The two planned their itinerary for the afternoon, and the guide also went to eat.

Fang Shuo covered the top of his head with his hands, and handed over a bag of sliced ​​bread, "Eat some, brother Jin."

In such a hot day, most people have no appetite, but they still need to eat some. After all, dehydration is not fun in a place where there are no villages or shops.

He Jin took it casually and asked, "Where's Taozi?"

Fang Shuo searched around with his eyes, and hissed, "What's wrong with this kid! Why is he gone again!"
