NOVEL NEXT Chapter 8
Aerial Information Support from the Drone
“F*ck…”
“Damn it! If I find out who betrayed me this time, his entire family will die.”
Obmar, who had slipped and fallen in the woods, cursed.
“Stop moaning. Let’s escape before we talk about revenge,” Yang Jun growled angrily, his eyes cold.
He had already thought it through.
Wait until you get out of here, then look for a chance to kill Wu Di.
This time, they were targeted by the police because that idiot Obmar didn’t think things through.
If he hadn’t reacted quickly and realized that something was wrong, he would have been caught long ago.
However, it was useless to say that now.
The SWAT team was right behind them.
Fortunately, the heavy rain prevented the police dogs from tracking their scent.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t even have the chance to escape.
“F*ck… This mountain road is damn difficult to walk on.”
Obmar fell again and opened his mouth to curse.
“It’s just this section. After we descend the mountain and pass the ravine in front, there’s a village.
When the time came, he would grab a car and go straight to Wuzhen.”
“If there’s a car, then good! I must have a good time.”
Both of them had a good idea.
What they didn’t know was that their every move was displayed on the big screen in the command hall.
Tang Rui flew the drone and kept circling above their heads.
The heavy rain and thick forest masked the drone’s presence.
Up until now, the two hadn’t noticed anything unusual above their heads.
“Zhang Hui, get ready. The target is at 1 o’clock, 300 meters away from you.
“Targets are armed: One Black Star and one shotgun.
“Fire at will. If you are uncertain, you are authorized to directly take out the target.”
The director looked at the situation on the big screen and gave an order to the special police team.
“Understood.”
After receiving the order, Zhang Hui, the captain of the special police team, silently signaled the team members to pay attention.
After seeing the captain’s gesture, everyone got ready and stared at the hillside in the 1 o’clock direction.
Very quickly.
They saw the two of them descending the mountain.
Zhang Hui stretched out a hand, signaling the team members to stay hidden and not make any hasty moves.
Whether it was Tang Rui or the people in the command hall, everyone looked nervously at the scene on the screen.
200 meters.
100 meters.
50 meters.
20 meters.
The two sides were rapidly closing on each other.
The two wanted criminals sensed no danger and plunged head-on into the encirclement.
It was at that moment, the two wanted fugitives were completely exposed to the SWAT team.
Zhang Hui clenched his fist.
Bang! Bang!
Two gunshots rang out in the forest.
The two wanted criminals who were descending the mountain screamed and fell to the ground almost at the same time.
At the same time, the SWAT officers who had been lying in ambush on both sides rushed forward and restrained the two of them.
It took less than ten seconds for the two of them to be restrained.
“Good!”
Pa, pa, pa…
Applause echoed in the command hall.
The director was very satisfied with this clean and straightforward method.
Tang Rui also yelled in joy.
The two shots just now directly hit the right arm of the two people holding the gun.
After the hit, the fugitives fell to the ground and dropped their weapons.
They were held down by the SWAT and were completely restrained.
This way…
The two of them were captured alive, and their legs were not injured. They could be completely carried out, reducing the burden on the team.
It could be said that the operation was perfect.
“Thank you, Comrade Tang Rui, for your support to our police. If it weren’t for the drone’s aerial reconnaissance, it would have been very difficult for us to catch the two fugitives.”
“It’s what I should do. Besides, I didn’t do anything. All the credit goes to the SWAT team,” Tang Rui shook his head and said modestly.
“Without these special forces, even if you had drones to scout, it would be useless.”
This was something he was very clear about.
“No matter what, I still have to thank you for your help. There will definitely be a reward.”
“Since the leader says so, I won’t decline.”
Hearing that there was a reward, Tang Rui did not decline.
After all, he was still short of money.
After saying a few words, Tang Rui flew the drone in the direction of the provincial road and scanned the terrain in that direction.
Through this, and coupled with the information on the topographic map, the SWAT team could plan the most convenient and easiest route to avoid taking detours.
At the same time, the command center could also send a car to the provincial road in advance to wait for the arrival of the special police team.
Evidently, the terrain information provided by the drone saved the authorities a lot of trouble.
This situation made the director of the command center even more envious of the drones.
Thus, he made up his mind.
After this mission was over, he had to report the entire mission to the provincial office in detail.
They also emphasized the important role that drones played in this mission.
In the blink of an eye.
More than 40 minutes passed.
Under the assistance of Tang Rui’s air support, the SWAT team brought the two fugitives out of the mountainous area and arrived at the provincial road.
The police cars and ambulances that were already waiting on the provincial highway quickly picked up the people and returned to the city.
“It’s been hard on you, Tang Rui. The personnel have returned safely. You can also take back the drone.
“We still have to go through some processing for your reward. Xiao Chen will contact you for the details. Thank you again for your support to the police.”
“Please, don’t mention it, Sir. It’s something I had to do. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going back.”
“Stay safe. Remember to report in advance the next time you fly a drone.”
“Uh… Alright, thank you, Sir.”
After hanging up the video call, there was still a little awkwardness on Tang Rui’s face.
After all, the country’s control over drones was still strict.
Normally, his drone wouldn’t even be allowed to fly at all.
Many people owned drones these days.
However, those were all unmanned drones. They weighed no more than seven kilograms, had a visual range of no more than 500 meters, and flew at an altitude of no more than 500 feet.
This type of drone could only be considered a toy.
However, if his drone flew higher and faster, military radar might mistake it for a cruise missile. Now that would be a huge problem.
This was also the reason why he did not dare to fly the drone above 700 feet.
This was because the radar could not scan anything below 1000 feet.
Tang Rui flew the drone home.
At this time, the drone only had another ten minutes of fuel left.
However, he was not in a hurry at all.
A distance of over 20 kilometers could be covered by a drone in less than two minutes.
Swiftly, the drone swooshed back to the observation platform.
Tang Rui extended the landing gear, found an angle, and controlled the drone to land slowly.
Squeak…
The moment the drone landed, he stepped on the brakes.
Even so, the entire drone glided eight to nine meters forward before it completely stopped.
“My hands are a little rusty. This landing is really a bit of a drag.”
The landing speed was a little too fast. If it weren’t for the timely braking, the plane would have crashed.
However, after this flight, his EXP had reached 1772 points.
According to the experience gain rate, he would be able to calculate the number of points he obtained.
After another seven or eight flights, the drone would be able to upgrade again.
It was just that the fuel was a little expensive.
The gas cost a few hundred yuan for each trip.
If he wanted to upgrade it, he would need to burn at least a few thousand dollars worth of fuel.
Just thinking about it made his heart ache a little.
He hoped that the reward for helping him capture the wanted criminals would be enough to make up for the gas money.
Forget it.
He didn’t want to think about it anymore.
Looking at the increasingly heavy rain, Tang Rui hurriedly packed up his things and went home.
