Chapter 125: Capture Successful!
Nanyao Island.
In the operation command center hall, Jiang Cheng's eyes were fixed on the blinking green dot on the screen, his face full of grave expression.
This operation is extremely critical, a failure would undoubtedly have a severely adverse impact on Jade Island, and the Philippines would surely make a big deal out of it.
Therefore, this operation must succeed!
"Calling Commander, Thunder Squad has located the target estate!"
At this moment, the voice of a Thunderbolt Special Team member came over the communicator.
"How many of them are there?" Jiang Cheng cautiously inquired.
"Rough estimates of over 100 armed personnel around, equipped with advanced weaponry, the inside of the estate is unknown at present."
Hearing the situation coming from the communicator, Jiang Cheng secretly nodded his head.
This Palo seems to be well-prepared, deploying so many guards to secure his safety.
If they tried to break in solely relying on ground firepower before, success was not certain, and it would likely involve significant losses and waste time, giving Palo a chance to escape.
But now... in front of the Flapping Wing Flying Device, all these forces guarding outside the estate became utterly negligible.
"Ignore them, bypass the estate directly, and capture the target!" Jiang Cheng commanded, holding the communicator.
"Yes, Commander!"
...
At the same time.
Over the sky of Nameless Island, several dozen Thunderbolt Special Team members were adjusting their flight direction under a hand signal from the leading captain, swiftly descending towards the ground.
This unique flying equipment allows them to perform maneuvers in the air that are impossible on the ground.
As they kept descending, the scenery on the ground became clearer.
The expansive estate was brightly lit, and outside the estate, small squads of heavily armed soldiers could be seen patrolling back and forth.
However, the Thunderbolt team members paid no attention to those on the perimeter, directly diving towards a luxurious villa within the estate.
"Target spotted, engage!"
The very next moment.
While still airborne, a member of the Thunderbolt Special Team drew out a "Storm-style" rapid-fire pistol from his back and launched an assault on the guards outside the villa!
"Bang bang bang!"
After a barrage of dense gunfire, the two bored guards at the entrance were struck down, collapsing into a pool of blood.
The gunfire immediately alerted the estate's internal and external guards.
The next moment, shouts arose, and a large number of armed personnel began to advance towards the descending Thunderbolt team members.
"Enemy attack!"
"Who the hell are they?"
"Did these guys... fly down from the sky?"
"Quick, report to Boss Palo and request reinforcements!"
"Fuck, I've been hit!"
"Help!"
After another round of intense gunfire, the armed personnel swarming from all around the villa were almost entirely mowed down.
Meanwhile, after neutralizing the villa's external guards, the Thunderbolt team members wasted no time and, following Jiang Cheng's instructions, stormed into the villa.
This time, the objective is to capture Palo alive, nothing else matters.
...
"What's happening?"
At this moment, resting inside a villa room, Palo naturally heard the bursts of gunfire outside the window, throwing him into a panic.
"Boss Palo, enemies have broken in from outside the villa." A trusted aide rushed into Palo's room, frantically reporting to him.
"What! Impossible!"
Hearing his trusted aide's words, Palo's eyes widened, filled with incredulity.
Outside the estate, there's supposed to be more than a hundred of his men guarding it; how could the enemy breach it so easily?
But now, there's no time for Palo to think it through; he immediately grabbed the pistol beside him and rushed out of the room.
In his view, with so many guards beside him, there's absolutely no need to panic. Once he has regrouped his men, he believes he can surely repel this reckless bunch.
Soon enough, once Palo and a few of his trusted aides, who were always by his side, arrived in the villa's hall, he finally saw the intruders to his territory.
These intruders, probably around twenty in number, were all clad in black Special Forces uniforms, their faces masked leaving only two eye holes, making them indistinguishable.
What surprised Palo was that each of these individuals had a heavy wing-like device strapped to their backs.
"What kind of gear is this?"
Seeing those winged devices, a look of confusion fell upon Palo's eyes, but he quickly caught on.
These people must have used this special equipment to bypass the high walls outside the estate thereby launching their assault.
However, there's no point in dwelling on this now; the most pressing matter is to subdue these intruders.
"Take them down for me!"
With Palo's command, he then pulled the trigger and launched an attack, and his few trusted aides at his side also opened fire.
Palo's plan was sound; as he saw it, as long as they could hold on for a while, until the guards outside rushed into the villa, handling this small squad would be a piece of cake.
He had invested heavily in acquiring an array of advanced weaponry to enhance his combat capabilities; these advanced firearms were not even owned by the Philippine government forces.
While Palo fantasized about how to deal with these reckless individuals shortly, a shocking scene unfolded before his eyes.
The intruders who stormed in suddenly leaped into the air like flying birds, diving directly toward him.
The few trusted aides of Palo, witnessing this, widened their eyes in utter shock!
"What kind of trickery is this?"
"This isn't good, save Boss Palo!"
Slightly awed, these trusted aides also realized Palo was in a dire situation, so they immediately pulled the trigger intending to open fire on the airborne threats.
However, before they could act, a round of gunfire ensued, and they fell down in response.
Just then, the Thunderbolt Special Team member who leaped into the air arrived quickly in front of Palo.
"You..."
Looking at this seemingly divine figure before him, Palo's brain stopped functioning.
He had never seen such an amazing flying device before, allowing such free flight in the air.
However, the intruder didn't give Palo any chance to speak. While Palo remained stunned, the Special Team member delivered an elbow strike to the back of his head, knocking him unconscious.
"Mission accomplished, retreat!"
Seeing Palo successfully captured, the Thunderbolt Team leader immediately issued a command.
The next moment, the entire squad regrouped, simultaneously activated the power devices of the Flapping Wing Flying Device, and before the massive guards could storm into the villa, they had already taken flight back into the high skies, disappearing without a trace.
The operation to capture Palo, lasting less than three minutes from start to finish, was declared a success!
