Chapter 216: Exchange Gold Bricks for Equipment
Xu Guangming replied solemnly: "I understand, Captain Lei Tao, don't worry." After that, Xu Guangming left the rooftop and his figure quickly disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
Seeing no one around, Lei Tao quickly activated his mysterious Bagua Gyro space. After a flash of light, he was back in his modern safe house in Central Africa. The lights inside automatically came on, and Lei Tao, not even bothering to rest, strode towards the garage. The garage door slowly rose, revealing several discreetly modified SUVs. He walked straight to the spare off-road pickup truck, opened the door, and with a roar of its engine, the SUV shot off like an arrow.
The car sped along, raising clouds of dust, and soon arrived at the entrance of the secret base. The guard, seeing Lei Tao, saluted and let him pass. Lei Tao parked the car, walked quickly into the base, and went straight to the logistics department. The head of the logistics department had already received the notice and immediately came forward to greet Lei Tao.
Lei Tao said succinctly, "Prepare me 50 high-quality bulletproof vests, 14 Colt M1911 pistols, 60 matching magazines, and 50,000 rounds of special armor-piercing pistol ammunition. I need them immediately." After that, he swiftly pulled a pre-prepared box from the cab of the off-road pickup truck. After opening it, he revealed neatly stacked gold bars. He said to the supervisor, "This is the gold given by the customer to buy equipment. A total of 40 kilograms of gold bars."
The supervisor looked at the box full of gold, a flicker of surprise in his eyes, but then he quickly reacted and immediately called his men into action. Several of them deftly unloaded bulletproof vests from the warehouse shelves, carefully inspecting each one to ensure there were no flaws.
Meanwhile, in the armory, staff carefully removed 14 Colt M1911 pistols from the gun cabinet, wiping and oiling them one by one to ensure they were in good condition. They then retrieved 60 matching magazines and repeatedly checked their springs to ensure smooth feeding.
In the ammunition depot, 50,000 rounds of special armor-piercing pistol bullets were neatly packed into special ammunition boxes, each bullet gleaming with an icy luster.
Lei Tao was keeping an eye on the preparation progress, constantly scanning the surroundings to prevent any mistakes.
When everything was ready, the staff neatly loaded the bulletproof vests, pistols, magazines, and ammunition boxes onto Lei Tao's SUV. Lei Tao carefully checked all the equipment again, and after confirming that everything was correct, he nodded heavily and said to the supervisor, "Thanks to your quick action this time. Thank you for your hard work."
The supervisor responded with a smile, "Captain Lei, you are on an important mission, and we will definitely cooperate fully. Please be careful on your journey, and I hope everything goes well."
Lei Tao jumped into the SUV, started the engine, and headed towards a remote mountainous area. When he arrived at the mountainous area, Lei Tao turned off the engine and got out of the car. He leaned against the car door, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a deep puff.
After smoking a cigarette and seeing that there was no one around, he put the entire off-road vehicle into the Bagua gyroscope space, then activated the Bagua gyroscope system and traveled back to the Anti-Japanese War period, to the rooftop of the East Asia Hotel in Pingyi County.
Lei Tao descended from the rooftop, returned to his room, showered, and went to bed for a good night's sleep. It was almost noon, and Lei Tao lay on his side on the wooden bed, exhausted from the day's travels. In his dream, he revisited his past as a special forces soldier in the national army. He saw a domineering local tyrant before him. His eyes flashed, and he kicked the thug, sending him flying and paralyzed. Later, the thug's father planted a bomb in a carnival shopping center and demanded that Lei Tao be severely punished, otherwise he would detonate the bomb!
Suddenly, a series of knocks on the door broke the silence. Lei Tao jolted awake instantly. Instinct, honed by years of living on the brink of death, made his right hand dart under his pillow like lightning. He grasped the cold Colt M1911 pistol, and with a flick of his wrist, he cocked the bolt. Then, he landed quietly on the ground, pressed his body against the wall, and inched towards the door. He lowered his voice and asked cautiously, "Who's there?"
