Chapter 548: The Temperature Rises, and the Powder Keg Finally Explodes

Atmosphere.

The atmosphere began to heat up and become tense.

The entire New York Harbor became a powder keg that was about to explode. The only thing left was which side would suffer casualties first and ignite the exposed fuse.

Bat and Dragonfly, who were currently occupying the same high point of the tower crane.

On one hand, they crouched down and hid behind the steel plate to check the situation of the tower crane they were responsible for. On the other hand, they took out the scope from their pocket. They didn't need to check it at all, they could install it just by feeling.

They were experienced and could assemble a gun even with their eyes closed.

......

Just when Bat and Dragonfly were assembling submachine guns.

Seeing that the bullets that had been hitting the steel plate just now finally stopped, there was no more gunfire around.

The Golden Eagle, who had originally planned to wait for Riley and others to come before checking the specific location of the enemy, decided to conduct a preliminary exploration after thinking carefully for a few seconds.

After all, Riley and others' experience in street fighting was really no different from a blank sheet of paper.

Rushing straight ahead like this is undoubtedly a huge risk, and you may be killed by an ambushed enemy at a corner.

If you can determine the whereabouts of the enemy in advance, then after informing Riley and others, at least you can reduce a certain risk and provide more help to yourself.

If you are killed on the way before you get here, then all the previous ideas are undoubtedly worthless.

Not to mention, you will have to use them to delay those enemies later.

As long as you create a special situation... that you are not alone, those enemies who are eyeing you will definitely be afraid.

In this way.

With the advantage of occupying the high point and the outstanding sniping skills, you can completely hold on to this tower crane until... this mission is completed.

Thinking of this.

The golden eagle no longer hesitated, leaning his shoulder against the iron plate of the tower crane, moved the Remington sniper rifle in front of him, and immediately extended the muzzle to check the direction of the previous gunshot.

But the golden eagle did not intend to shoot, but used the scope to observe.

Since it is at a high point, it is difficult to judge the details with the naked eye. A sniper scope with sufficient magnification can undoubtedly make up for this problem.

Relying on years of battlefield experience.

The golden eagle immediately looked at the position where the spider had fired the gun before. In his sight... he could clearly see that there were submachine gun shells scattered on the ground next to a container.

It was obvious.

The enemy just now fired at this position and is now hiding behind the container. The scattered magazines on the ground have already explained this.

After determining the position of the enemy, the golden eagle did not hesitate at all. He immediately retracted into the tower crane and said seriously to the portable walkie-talkie.

"Riley."

"The red container near the edge of the wall on the right side of the tower crane where I am hiding is likely to hide enemies, but the exact number is still uncertain."

"When you approach later, remember to avoid this area and avoid direct fire with the enemy."

"Judging from the frequency of bullets hitting just now and the speed at which the opponent changes magazines, it is definitely a special enemy with rich experience in street fighting."

"For those of you who have not experienced street fighting, avoiding directly is the best choice."

At this moment.

Riley, who was still rushing over, glanced at J and No. 9 who were walking in front, and immediately responded.

"Understood."

"We are almost at the tower crane where you are."

"And the established route will not pass through the area where the enemy is hiding. At least in my opinion...those cowards hiding behind the containers have no chance to find the three of us."

"However, if there is a chance, Golden Eagle, you can help determine the location of other enemies, which will also make it easier to arrange the subsequent battles."

"At least, knowing the enemy's location in advance can make our chances of winning greater."

"In other words...we won't engage in a firefight so quickly, and delay the time as much as possible."

Hearing Riley's reply.

Golden Eagle couldn't help but squint his eyes. Just sticking out the barrel of the gun to check the enemy's location in one place is actually taking a certain risk.

It's even impossible to determine...whether the other party has also seen the barrel and confirmed his position.

From a safe perspective, it should be safer to wait until Riley and his men come to support, and then check another area again.

But if he is safe, it means that the risk of Riley and his men will increase. They don't have any street fighting skills, and it's not easy for them to come to help.

If something goes wrong halfway, all previous plans will fail.

In addition.

Currently occupying a high point, with steel plate protection, it should be difficult for the enemy to hurt me if they shoot from below the New York Harbor.

A little bolder, relying on the sniper rifle's scope, continue to judge the enemy in another direction, which is actually possible.

The risk will increase.

However, I am experienced... I should be able to deal with this increased risk.

......

Just when the golden eagle showed its head to check the position of the spider.

Although he was wearing a sniper scope in his hand, his eyes were always fixed on the bat at the tower crane position, and he immediately widened his eyes with excitement.

Because, in his sight just now, he saw very clearly... the barrel of a sniper rifle first extended from the tower crane position, and then the golden eagle showed half of its head, trying to find the position where the spider was ambushing.

The moment he saw the golden eagle show its head.

Bat was surprised at first, then quickly turned to excitement, and finally became anxious, and installed the scope at a speed that broke his limit.

When he finally installed the scope, the submachine gun could barely shoot at a long distance.

Bat, who had just raised the submachine gun, saw... the golden eagle, which had originally exposed half of its head, suddenly retracted its head.

It was obvious.

This was to determine the approximate position of the spider, and temporarily retract it to the tower crane for safety reasons.

Seeing that the golden eagle's head was no longer in sight, Bat couldn't help but clench the submachine gun, feeling some unspeakable regret and helplessness in his heart.

If he could have installed the scope ten seconds faster just now, the golden eagle's head would probably have exploded.

Although helpless and regretful, Bat did not hesitate at all. He immediately pressed the headset and lowered his voice to speak.

"Dragonfly."

"I have just seen the golden eagle. He is at the tower crane not far from me, not at your location."

"Wait a suitable opportunity and climb down the tower crane as soon as possible to assist Mantis and Spider. Leave the golden eagle to me."

"Although the tower crane can occupy a high point, its location is too special. If the king brings it to support, it will be no different from a live target."

As soon as these words came out.

At the current location of another tower crane, Dragonfly, who had just installed the scope, was stunned for a moment, as if he did not expect Bat to determine the location of the golden eagle so quickly.

But he also reacted immediately and responded quickly.

"Received."

"I will come down from the tower crane now to assist Spider and Mantis..."

Before Dragonfly finished speaking.

Mantis's somewhat hurried and deliberately lowered voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

"Wait, Dragonfly."

"I heard footsteps approaching nearby."

"Someone may have come to support the Golden Eagle. You can't climb down from the tower crane now, or you will become a live target for them."

"Stay on the tower crane, I'll try to get rid of these people."

This information.

Bat couldn't help but look solemn. He never expected that... the king could send people to support the Golden Eagle when the God Team attracted so much attention.

Did Su Ming guess the number of enemies wrong? Far more than the previous number?

Otherwise, why did the support come so quickly? The side that had discovered the position of the Golden Eagle and took the initiative seemed to fall into a passive position quickly.

Just when Bat was puzzled and thinking about how to solve the current crisis.

Su Ming's confident and unquestionable words suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

"Don't pay too much attention to those people coming."

"The fact that Mantis can easily hear footsteps shows that the other party is not good at street fighting, let alone those retired mercenaries."

"If I'm not mistaken, the people who are coming now are most likely... members of the poker organization who were originally used as bait to attract me."

"They have basically no experience in street fighting, and in an environment like New York Harbor, they can only shoot."

"Dragonfly just pay attention to the tower crane, Mantis just avoids them, and never shoot."

"The environment in New York Harbor is complex, and it's not difficult to avoid them with your experience."

"Once you shoot, the golden eagle may shrink in the tower crane. It is likely that they came to help, so the golden eagle just showed up rashly to determine the location of the previous gunshot."

"Dragonfly, you monitor their movements, and after Bat shoots, you try to kill them from a distance."

"Remember, those people can't pose any threat to you, the golden eagle is the key to this mission..."
