Chapter 288 Overseas Operations
Luke hasn't been here to "fish" for a long time.
When he saw Xirina, he was surprised to find that her belly was a little bigger.
Just when he was happily thinking that Xirina was pregnant, he was suddenly stunned.
I haven’t had my period for several months. What’s wrong with Xirina’s belly?
Then Foodie Na explained to Luke awkwardly.
Recently, I just sunbathe on the beach after dinner and haven’t done much exercise…
So, this is fat...
Luke was glad that it was fat and not green...
But the most fat part of a fish is its belly...
Because there was no signal here, Luke had to use the dumbest method.
Pull a dedicated optical cable directly from the seabed to solve the communication problem of Siren Island.
But this project is a bit too large.
He first had to build a special ship for laying submarine optical cables.
And it has to be driverless.
The location of Siren Island must not be exposed.
Otherwise, with the fighting power of these mermaids, they would have no ability to fight back against human technology.
So everything prepared for Siren Island must be unmanned equipment.
It is completely controlled by Lilith and must be destroyed afterwards.
So Siren Island is still closed for the time being.
Luke has been busy lately and he has no plans to stay on Siren Island for a few days.
But before he left Siren Island, he was found by Lilith.
"Boss, your grandfather has been looking for you many times, so I came here in person."
Luke was also surprised when he saw Lilith, and hurriedly took Lilith back to the outside of Siren Island.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?"
The old man didn't ask where Luke had gone, he just talked about the matter on the phone.
"Three days ago, the daughter of Sir Kim of LS Oil Company was kidnapped. Now the kidnappers are demanding a ransom of $500 million."
"OK, Grandpa, I understand. Let Sir Jin prepare the money. I will bring his daughter and the money back safely."
"I have been looking for you for several days, and now Sir King has asked for help from his old friend, Mrs. M, the head of MI6."
"Then the old lady will negotiate with terrorists?"
The old man sighed over there.
"No matter what, you must leave as soon as possible. Get ahead of MI6 and bring back his daughter Elika. It will be very useful for subsequent plans."
"OK, I'll leave right away."
After hanging up the phone, Luke gave the team an order to assemble while still on the sea outside Siren Island.
After saying goodbye to Foodie Na, Luke returned to the Bahamas.
Here, we boarded the Pelican carrying the team and flew to England.
This time the team was riding on a specially developed upgraded version of the Pelican, equipped with double stealth devices, a version specifically designed for overseas missions.
Not only is it invisible to radar, it also uses the same optical invisibility as the Predator.
I originally thought that after "slacking off", I could go home to celebrate the Spring Festival, but plans cannot keep up with the rapid changes.
The plan to celebrate the Spring Festival has gone wrong.
Aboard the Pelican, Luke briefed the team members on their mission.
This was a standard hostage rescue operation, but it was an overseas operation.
Fortunately, Luke was well prepared, and the support system for overseas operations was no worse than that in the United States.
The dual stealth drones are deployed in a two-machine formation, two reconnaissance types and two support types.
One of each aircraft is on mission and the other is kept on standby at high altitude.
The Pelican also carries a small, recoverable drone.
With high-tech crushing all around, overseas missions are less restrictive than they are stateside.
Except for the lack of close air support from the US Air Force, everything else is more relaxed than in the United States.
In the absence of armed drones, air force support is important.
But now with drones, unless a large number of personnel are deployed to surround the team, Luke's team will rely on the technological gap to completely crush the opponent.
Fortunately, after Xtell was released, Elica got the latest version of the high-end mobile phone through his father's connections.
Lilith can directly locate the target.
Unlucky Elika went to Cyprus for vacation during her graduation holiday and was kidnapped by terrorists.
Cyprus is located in the westernmost part of the Mediterranean Sea, with Turkey to the north and Syria to the east.
It was originally a Mediterranean resort and was formerly under British jurisdiction and a direct British colony.
Tourists from all over the world often come here for vacation.
Elika was kidnapped and held in a villa in the woods.
Luke and his team landed on the other side of the forest.
Then, based on the location of the drone and mobile phone, they walked to the place where Ileka was being held.
After arriving here, I observed the terrain.
Luke began to assign tasks.
He will also follow the team on the raid this time because he must make sure Elika is intact as soon as possible.
The villa is located halfway up a mountain, with only one road leading to the foot of the mountain.
Elika was imprisoned on the top floor.
Luke set the time of action in the early morning, when the criminals would be least alert.
Because of his technological advantages, Luke prefers to operate at night.
After all, the team's night vision equipment is world-leading, by a long way...
Nelson and Cook served as a support group, monitoring the path leading down the mountain to prevent intruders.
Beckett and Erica were responsible for sniping, providing support, and conducting reconnaissance and monitoring of personnel in the villa.
Hobbs led Mulder, Tobery and the Bizarre Head to attack from the front on the first floor.
He and Chapman broke into the villa from the roof and rescued the hostages.
Just when they were preparing to act, the bandits made a move first.
The bandit leader left the villa with two people in a car.
This is a good thing for the hostage rescue operation.
The gangsters' strength was weakened, making it easier to rescue the hostages.
However, the bandit leader's departure will definitely lead to subsequent troubles.
At this moment, Lilith sent the latest information.
"Sir Robert King has agreed to pay the ransom, and the leader is heading to Nicosia, 15 kilometers away, to receive the ransom."
"But we don't know who is responsible for delivering the ransom. The ransom was handed over at 9 a.m."
After thinking about it, Luke decided to rescue the hostages first.
The money problem is not a problem, it’s just a few million.
It's easy to make up for it afterwards.
The most important thing is to make sure everyone is okay.
So he made a prompt decision and decided to take action immediately, and then see whether he should wait for the bandit leader to come back.
Because it was backed by a mountain, Luke and Chapman easily reached the roof of the villa by paragliding.
There are now a total of 8 gangsters in the villa.
There were two outside the room where Elika was being held, and the rest were downstairs.
There are 4 rooms on the ground floor and two more at the front and back of the villa.
With Luke's order on the communicator, the action began.
