Chapter 358: The Smuggling Group's Base in the Desert
He methodically converted the details he saw about submarine smuggling, including the submarine's appearance, the location of the entrance to the ship, the method of loading and unloading cargo, and the suspected signal jammer device on the submarine into specific codes and entered them into the system.
During the input process, Qi Tongwei would look up from time to time to observe the movements around him in case of any emergencies.
He knew very well that he was in danger. If he was discovered by the smuggling group, not only would his life be threatened, but the entire plan to destroy the smuggling group would also fail.
After entering the information, Qi Tongwei checked it again to ensure it was correct.
Then, he took a deep breath and pressed the send button.
In an instant, the wave frequency transmission system started working, emitting a slight buzzing sound.
An invisible wave frequency signal spread far away at an extremely fast speed. This signal carried the important information discovered by Qi Tongwei, passed through layers of sea water and air, and rushed towards the Dragon Group's receiving equipment.
Qi Tongwei stared at the display screen of the frequency transmission system, which showed the status of signal transmission.
He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that his superiors would receive the message he conveyed as soon as possible so that they could take timely countermeasures and stop the criminal activities of this smuggling group.
Qi Tongwei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the prompt on the display screen that the signal had been sent successfully.
He knew that he had completed one of the most important tasks at the moment. Next, he would continue to maneuver within the smuggling group and wait for instructions from his superiors and subsequent action arrangements.
At this time, Longshi, relying on his wisdom and courage, had gradually penetrated into the smuggling group through another relatively complicated route.
The other Dragon Team special forces were like cheetahs hiding in the darkness, standing by at all times, their eyes fixed on the situation ahead, ensuring they could provide support at the first opportunity. Their bodies were tense, like arrows about to be released from a bow; at the command, they would rush towards their target without hesitation.
That afternoon, the sun shone on the sea, making the waves sparkle. As their ship passed through a strait, its speed gradually slowed down and finally stopped briefly at the dock of a small town.
Qi Tongwei stood on the deck, feeling somewhat surprised. After all, this stop was not part of the original plan. He narrowed his eyes slightly, observing everything around him warily.
At this time, a member of the smuggling group walked up to Qi Tongwei and said with a seemingly friendly smile: "Sir, let's go down first and turn into a small boat later."
Although Qi Tongwei was full of doubts in his heart, he knew he couldn't show it, so he nodded and followed them off the boat.
After getting off the boat, Qi Tongwei found the town filled with a mysterious atmosphere. People were hurrying along the narrow streets, and the various buildings looked a bit shabby but had unique styles.
They soon came to a small boat. The boat looked a bit simple, but Qi Tongwei knew that this must be a route carefully planned by the smuggling group.
After Qi Tongwei boarded the boat, it slowly started to move, creating ripples on the water. As the boat moved through the river, the surrounding scenery kept changing.
Qi Tongwei sat on the boat, his eyes never relaxing their vigilance. He was silently observing every move of the smuggling group members, while also paying attention to the surrounding environment, trying to remember this complicated waterway.
After a while, the boat docked at the shore. Before Qi Tongwei could recover, they were urged to get on a car.
The car bumped along the bumpy road, and Qi Tongwei felt like he was on a roller coaster. The atmosphere inside the car was somewhat dull. None of the smuggling group members spoke, and only the roar of the car engine echoed in his ears.
The car sped along, making several turns, sometimes on narrow mountain roads, sometimes through dense woods. Qi Tongwei felt as if he had been involved in a mysterious journey.
Finally, the car stopped in a vast desert area of Gobi Desert.
Qi Tongwei stepped out of the car, a gust of hot wind mingled with the smell of sand lashing his face. He gazed at the endless expanse of desert before him, marveling at the complex and covert movement routes of this smuggling ring. He knew he was one step closer to uncovering the truth about this smuggling ring, but at the same time, danger was looming.
The desert here is simply a land of death. It is strikingly similar to the no-man's land where Qi Tongwei trained back then, but the environment is even worse than that of the no-man's land.
As Qi Tongwei stepped into the desert, he was immediately struck by a scorching heat that seemed to evaporate every ounce of moisture from his body. The sand beneath his feet was scorching, like treading on red-hot charcoal. Every step required immense courage.
A fierce wind raged across the desert, whipping up clouds of yellow sand. The sand, like sharp blades, stung his face painfully. Qi Tongwei had to squint, but even then, the sand still got into his eyes, causing a stinging and sour sensation.
As far as the eye can see, there is almost no sign of life. Qi Tongwei recalled the no-man's land back then. Although the environment there was also harsh, at least you could occasionally see a few tenacious plants growing.
Those plants were like tiny stars in the darkness, bringing a glimmer of hope. But here, there was nothing, nothing to be seen except a few rocks here and there.
Those stones were also bare, without any moss or other living things attached to them, just lying alone in the sea of sand.
Qi Tongwei's throat began to become dry, and he felt his lips were cracking rapidly.
In such an environment, water loss is alarmingly fast. He knew that without adequate water sources and protective measures, people would soon be in dire straits.
Qi Tongwei followed the smuggling group with difficulty, while secretly having doubts in his heart.
He felt that this smuggling group had other purposes in setting up their base in such a place.
Perhaps because the environment here is too harsh, few people would set foot here, so they can carry out illegal activities more covertly.
Or perhaps the terrain here is complex and has some special geographical conditions that can help them hide or transport smuggled goods.
Whatever the reason, Qi Tongwei knew that this place must be hiding many secrets of the smuggling group, and he had to be careful in order to uncover these secrets and complete the mission.
