Chapter 225 - Shit...We Were Tricked!!
Pulling their guns, Shein and HK exchanged a glance but did not follow the shadow to not alert their enemy. Therefore using the time when the person was hesitant to throw the bomb, Shein threw a small and insignificant tracker on the man quietly without his notice.
So even after the man left, Shein and HK were not in hurry to follow him instead they reached for their cell phone and tracked the guy's location. As Shein had guessed, the guy was not heading towards the mountain instead he headed in the opposite direction towards the farmland.
Loading their gun, the two of them observed the surrounding and tried to sense if there were anyone left behind to watch the house. Only when they were sure there was no one around did the two of them leave the house through the front door.
usually, if a person wanted to sneak out they would choose the back door since few people would watch the back door. But the two of them never played according to script and directly headed out through the front door.
Reason? It's because sneaking out through the back door has become an old method and the other reason is...logically speaking, there would be more people watching the back door as they assume that their target would definitely use the back door if they don't want to alert their enemy.
Anyway...back to the story...
Following the tracker, Shein and HK nimbly made their way out of the village while keeping their vigilance high.
The more closer they got to their target, the higher attention they paid to their surrounding.
Only when they noticed the target location blink, Shein and HK stooped on their steps.
"What should we do? we lost the target now" HK frowned
"Destruct the tracker immediately" Shein instructed instead of answering his worries.
"Why? wouldn't it be a disadvantage for us if we lost the only target who could lead the way?" HK asked with a frown but he still obediently pressed a tiny button on his sleeves to destruct the tracker.
As soon as he did, the tracker that the man was carrying on him blew with a puff and a faint and negligible smoke arose inside his sleeves which went unnoticed by the target.
After marking the location, Shein turned to HK and replied "Leaving the tracker on him will only bring us disadvantages. Since those people dared to disrupt connections, they would definitely have a sensor to sense trackers. Once the man alarms the sensor, it would be equal to awakening those people. Even if can infiltrate their base and capture them, we might not necessarily walk out unscathed. The worst scenario is we might not even be able to catch them once they decide to hide their base temporarily"
After hearing Shein's explanation, HK finally realized the difficulty of their mission. But on a second thought, he suddenly found that his comrade seems to know more about these rather confusing things. But he did not dare to probe in too much and just asked "What to do next?"
"Offcourse infiltrate the base" Shein replied with a cold smile before making her way towards the location the target's last location.
When the two of them arrived, they did not find any base or anything as HK had expected instead, they found themself standing in front of a large hill.
Seeing the huge hills in front, HK's lips twitched slightly. Turning to Shein he asked, "Are you sure we are at the right location?"
Looking down at her watch, Shein nodded his head and said "Yes, We are at the right location, the signal disappears from here"
Looking up at the few hills, HK's lips twitched "Are they serious? Did they really have to build their base here?"
"If not they would not have been able to hide from the organization or the Interpol"
"Seriously" HK sighed "Now what should we do?"
"Wait," said Shein and she swept a swift glance through the hill. Just as Shein's sixth sense was telling her something was wrong with their surrounding, she suddenly remembered Sheena's previous words and her eyes suddenly turned cold.
"Should we call the team? It would be easy if we have more number of people to help us search the base" HK propose
"Not necessarily but....we can go with your plan" Shein replied with a cold smile
Hearing Shein's words, HK frowned in confusion and asked "What do you mean? Why does your first line and last line not sink with each other?"
With a chuckle, Shein turned to HK and asked "Don't you get it? we are tricked"
"Tricked? Wait! How could we be tricked....are you serious?" HK asked with a confusion
"What do you think would be a perfect place to set up a secret base?" Shein asked instead of answering HK's words
"underneath the mountains, between the hills and inside the forest?" HK replied suddenly realizing something, HK asked in disbelief "Wait! do you think their base is not likely among these places?"
"You are right. Naturally, their base might not be among these places as transporting resources would be very hard and even if they could, Interpol would have long noticed their movements. So if I'm not wrong this is just a setup planned by the opponent just to trap us" Shein concluded calmly
"Damn...these people have a scary brain. There must be a spy among us who is notifying the enemy about our plan" HK frowned. Thinking of something, he turned to Shein and asked curiously "By the way, how did you realize that this was a trap?"
"Well, do you remember Sheena's words?"
"What words?"
"Before her husband started to act unusual, he had been to his friend's house to have a drink, remember?" Shein asked expressionlessly
"Hmm...yeah, I do"
"Instead of going to his friend's house, why would he be lurking around this hill which id far away from the village that too at late night? Considering the security the base would have, he wouldn't have survived if the enemy was alerted but he returned back unscathed. What does this prove? the enemy only found out at the later stage that his deeds were found"
"Wait...if I'm not wrong, you mean to say our target is within the village"
"Exactly"
"Shit...what an unexpected twist. to have the base within the village but still not been found by anyone, this is such a scary thing" rubbing the space between his eyebrows, HK turned to Shein and asked, "What should we next?"
"Don't they want to trap us? That's great. Let's follow his plan and...trap ourself" Shein said with a meaningful smile
"Speaking of which...where do you think their base might be?" HK asked suddenly
"Well...I guess I know where it is"
