Venice, the pearl of northern Italy, a famous tourist city and water park. The external transportation of Venice is mainly aviation, and the internal transportation is boats. There are a total of 177 rivers and canals in Venice, connected by 401 bridges of various types. Waterways
It's the road in Venice. There are no cars, bicycles, or traffic lights. Boats are the only means of transportation here.
Owen and his group took a taxi-like boat all the way to the city. The shops along the way were also in the shape of small boats. Some sold fruits and vegetables, and some sold groceries. Many people saw that Owen and the others were foreigners, and they were in their own way.
The people on the boat greeted each other desperately.
"How on earth did their house get built in this water?"
Monica next to her asked curiously.
Owen happened to know it, so he said: "The method of Venetian construction is to first insert wooden pillars into the soil under Venice, and then lay a large and thick layer of Istrian stone. This Istrian stone is waterproof
It has excellent performance and was brought from Istria on the Adrayan Sea. Then bricks were laid on the Istrian stone to build buildings. Since the bricks are much lighter than the Istrian stone, they are not
There will be a problem of serious sinking of the house. Of course, now instead of using wooden pillars, we use concrete pillars..."
Several people listened with interest and nodded one after another.
They finally stopped in front of a building, and everyone walked into an ancient elevator. After closing the iron gate, the elevator rumbled upwards. Due to geographical reasons, the buildings here were not very high, so everyone finally stopped in front of the building.
Location on the third floor.
This is the local safe house of the NSA, and as expected, it was cracked by Nikki.
"Please come in."
Like a hostess, Nikki invited everyone in and took a short rest. After finding the weapons and equipment they needed in the safe house, everyone gathered together again.
"Ethan, how's it going over there with Benji?"
Owen asked casually while arranging his equipment.
"Fortunately, he hasn't moved during this period. Luther and I will go check it out later..."
"Ghost and Heartbeat, you go with them..."
"OK."
Ethan and the other four left to investigate the information, and Owen asked Swag to arrange a boat. In Venice, boats are as essential means of transportation as cars.
On the river, Ethan and the four finally stopped in a tavern. After ordering drinks, Ethan said without leaving a trace: "The tracker shows that Benji is on the third floor diagonally opposite..."
The ghost remained calm, pretending to drink coffee and silently glanced above. The window on the third floor was open, and someone could be seen smoking by the window. After the person finished smoking, he threw the cigarette butt down, and then
leave.
After a few discussions, the ghost and the heartbeat left. A moment later, on the river side of the house, a small boat collided with a small merchant boat selling goods. Many items on the selling boat fell into the water, and the two boats
people had a heated argument.
The quarrel between the two became more and more intense. The waterway was completely blocked. People around were shouting and it soon became noisy.
Ethan saw that many people around him were looking curiously over there, and winked at Luther who was standing aside. In the corner, Luther took out a remote control and operated it, and then a four-rotor drone slowly
Slowly rising into the air, it silently approached the window on the third floor.
This was the plan that Ethan had thought up early in the morning. If people came close to observe, it would be easy to alert the snake, so he chose a drone. But the observation just now found that Makarov's people were often watching near the window on the third floor. In order to divert them
The attention, ghosts and heartbeats are causing trouble on the other side.
Now the guards in the room are all watching the excitement on the other side, and no one noticed the drone outside the window on this side.
The drone slowly approached, and with the camera turning, the situation inside the house was clearly visible.
"Find Benjy, he is locked in a cage."
Luther said on the communicator, and the picture was also transmitted to Owen and others in the safe house in real time.
On the screen, there was an iron cage that looked like a dog cage in the corner of the room. Benji was naked and locked in it, looking depressed.
"Received, you can withdraw now, pay attention to safety..."
After determining Benji's location, there was a detailed plan, how to rescue people, how to arrest people, and how to evacuate. The plan was quickly drawn up. Ethan and others were responsible for rescuing people, while Owen's quick response team was responsible for subsequent arrests.
catch.
Makarov only gave Ethan 48 hours, and today is the last day.
The preparations were proceeding in an orderly manner. Near noon, a group of people from the quick reaction team disguised themselves and left wearing yellow overalls.
On the second floor of the target building, Heartbeat, who was pretending to be a decoration worker, was applying some kind of paint to the roof. After finishing one type of paint, he started to carefully apply another type.
At noon, the two teams quietly took their places.
Owen stood outside the door on the third floor holding an assault rifle, counting down: "Three, two, one, action!"
The current ghost kicked open the door, and Monica next to her took the lead in firing, clearing an enemy within sight.
Almost at the same time, there was a roar from where Benji was in the dog cage. Before his heartbeat, two layers of mixed explosives were applied below him. The amount of explosives was strictly calculated, just enough to blow up the floor without hurting the people above.
.
With the roar, a hole appeared on the ground, and the figures of Benji and the dog cage had disappeared. Without the constraints of the hostages, the quick reaction team no longer had any worries, and broke in in cqb formation.
Makarov's men were caught off guard by the quick counterattack team, and several of his men in the living room were quickly cleared away. The remaining few immediately relied on the terrain to defend themselves after the initial panic. Owen did not see Avril inside.
and Zheng Anshun.
These two people were also the targets of his trip, but they didn't know where they went, and they didn't seem to be here.
"Be careful, someone jumped out of the window and ran away..."
Nicky, who had been monitoring the whole situation with satellite, saw someone jumping out of the window and immediately reminded him.
Irving fired several shots to suppress the opponent, and then looked sideways. Sure enough, there was a man outside struggling to climb onto a speedboat in the water. He had obviously just jumped from the building. It looked like it was indeed Makarov.
On the second floor, Ethan shot several times to break the lock on the dog cage. Just after he rescued Benji, he heard Owen's call: "Makarov is in the river, stop him..."
Ethan jumped out of the window and happened to see Makarov driving away in a speedboat. He and Benji also jumped on a speedboat next to him and chased after him. But just a few meters away, there was a sudden explosion behind him.
When I turned around, I noticed a splash of water bursting from the bottom of the water where the small building behind me was located, and then the small building began to tilt, as if it was about to topple over at any moment.
Farke!
Owen in the building cursed secretly and immediately shouted.
"Retreat, everyone retreat~~~"
At this time, the two warring parties did not care about attacking each other, and it was more important to escape. Makarov actually installed explosives on the load-bearing pillars of the house in advance. He detonated the explosives as soon as he left, regardless of whether his men were alive or dead.
