Surveillance

  With a soft sigh, Chen Chen covered the white cloth again and stood up to turn around: "I just arrived, tell me about the specific situation."

  "Actually, we just got back too..." Vasilis also let out a sigh and shook his head slightly: "I suppose you've probably guessed, the attack happened yesterday evening."

  Vasilis then roughly recounted the situation.

  The day before yesterday evening, a group of people with unknown origins attacked the warehouse. They were numerous and had a very strong firepower configuration. Fortunately, two sentries discovered each other and issued an alarm, which prevented them from being wiped out in one pot.

  Unfortunately, the two undercover agents were also exposed and died in the crossfire.

  However, they did not die in vain, and their timely warning also gave their companions time to escape.

  Because most people were in the secret base, there were only twenty people left in the factory. Seeing the other side coming fiercely, they knew they couldn't win and didn't force it. After paying the price of five or six people being injured, they escaped and fled to the secret base after confirming that they hadn't been tracked, to report to Vasilis.

  When he heard that the factory was attacked, Vasilis's fire came up instantly, and he wanted to kill him back with people. At this time, it was still Aphrodite who stopped him.

  The reason is simple. The other side has strong firepower and a large number of people, and now they don't even know where the other side came from. Rushing to meet them would be no different from sending themselves to death. At least, they should investigate the other side's background before doing anything.

  This dissuasion calmed Vasilis down, so he didn't rush to take action. Instead, he sent someone to sneak back to Erwin under the cover of night to investigate the situation and also left a message for Chen Chen, telling him to come quickly and discuss countermeasures.

  After a night of anxious waiting, the scouts returned with news that the raiders had left Erivan. Apparently, after destroying the machinery and equipment, they believed they had dealt a severe blow to the Armenian avengers' arms production, and having achieved their goal, they did not continue to linger.

  Upon learning of the situation, Vasilis arranged for the twenty people who escaped to stay at the secret base to rest and recover, while he brought thirty people back to clean up the aftermath and look for clues about the other side.

  Just then Chen Chen also arrived in time, and there was the previous scene again.

  After listening to the story, Chen Chen let out a gentle breath and felt slightly relieved.

  It's okay, things haven't gotten to the point where they're unacceptable. The most important machinery and materials are all at the secret base, and the machinery in this factory is just for rough processing, and it's all relatively old, so this loss can be borne.

  "It's a good thing I had an extra thought at the time and chose that secret base." Thinking of this, Chen Chen couldn't help but feel a wave of relief: "If we had stupidly put the weapon manufacturing here, the losses this time would have been even greater."

  "Yes, thanks to your foresight, the loss of property is not great." Vasily also nodded, but immediately cast his eyes on the two companions' corpses in the corner, with a flash of anger in his eyes: "The death of the two brothers is the most serious loss, and this account must be settled with them."

  "Revenge!" Infected by this feeling, the mercenaries present also let out a collective roar.

  "Revenge is certain!" Chen Chen let out a cold hum, his eyes cast towards Vasilis: "Have you found any leads on the attacker?"

  "For the time being, we still don't know their specific identities, only some scattered clues." Vasilis let out a regretful sigh and began to inspect around with Chen Chen: "I've checked the bullet holes, 7.62 caliber gun bullets account for a large proportion, it seems that the attackers used a large number of Soviet-made weapons, and concentrated so many people to launch an attack, the distance won't be too far, I estimate it's from Eastern European forces."

  "Ah, they've destroyed all the machinery and equipment with a clear purpose." Chen Chen nodded and made his own inference: "Since their firepower is so strong, it's definitely not just some small force. I reckon it should be the original power that monopolized the Eastern European underground black market, dissatisfied with our weapon manufacturing taking away their business, so they launched an attack to destroy our weapon production."

  "It's roughly like that, and the other party's identity is basically called out. Vasily furrowed his brow, recalling what he had understood before: "They are the largest force in Eastern Europe, commonly known as the Kozak guerrilla army, which includes Ukrainians, Russians, Lithuanians, and Latvians. Nobody can figure out who they represent, anyway, it's a motley crew."

  "And the banner they waved was against the autocracy of the Russian tsar, to fight for more independence for small Eastern European countries. In short, it's almost a rebel army. Of course, Russia classified them as terrorists, and in fact, their actions were indeed terrorist-like: car bombings, massacres of civilians... they didn't do anything good."

  "A typical gangster's trick." Upon hearing this explanation, Chen Chen couldn't help but sneer: "Under the guise of rebellion, they're actually just gathering a group of extremists to benefit themselves."

  "In short, that's it." Vasily smiled and nodded: "Before, they monopolized more than 80% of the underground arms imports in Eastern Europe. After we started selling, I estimate that we took away two or three tenths of their business. It seems they're jealous."

  "Koza guerrilla troops...". Chen Chen calmed down, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes: "There's still my stake in this, cutting off my financial path, isn't that forcing me to fight them to the death? Do you know their base?"

  "I don't know!" Vasily shook his head slightly regretfully: "They have been wandering around the border between Russia and Ukraine for a long time, that place is all wilderness, forests, and hills, the terrain is very complicated, the Russian government has wanted to deal with them for a long time, but they have never found their exact location."

  "Otherwise, let's send someone to track them down." Chen Chen hesitated for a moment and made a suggestion: "They can't just disappear into thin air, such a large group of people is very eye-catching. Let's ask the residents along the way if they have any discoveries."

  "There's no other way, let's try it." Vasilis nodded in response.

  As they spoke, the two of them walked out of the gate and came to the outside of the factory building.

  Chen Chen took a deep breath and looked around casually with his eyes raised, but at this moment, the iris scanner issued some kind of warning!

  He was taken aback and looked in the direction indicated, the iris scanner's warning became more intense and issued a prompt: Electronic optical monitoring detected, may be under surveillance!

  Surveillance?

  Chen Chen was suddenly startled and noticed his abnormality. Vasilis also turned around in confusion: "What's wrong?"

  "Wait, if I were the attacker... " Chen Chen's brain quickly turned around and muttered to himself: "Although destroying the equipment, but realizing that Vasilis and others are out and not returning, so pretending to leave and leaving someone to monitor, waiting for them to return and then making a comeback... cutting the grass and eliminating the roots..."

  Chen Chen's pupils suddenly contracted, and he turned his head and shouted loudly: "Evacuate everyone from the factory!"
