Chapter 669 Evacuation overnight
The night was as dark as ink, and Meng Chuan and his group hurried to an abandoned dock.
Occasionally, a few roosting seabirds would be startled and let out a few mournful cries.
The roar of waves crashing against the rocks could be heard from time to time on the beach.
This made the atmosphere on the dock seem desolate and eerie.
An inconspicuous black speedboat was moored at the beach.
Meng Chuan's eyes were sharp as an eagle's, sweeping over every corner of the dock where murderous intent might be lurking.
I just received news from Bi Wang that Trump's men are searching for him all over the world.
After all, Meng Chuan had been away from the Green Gang Group building for too long.
Without news from Meng Chuan, both the overt and covert sentries realized that the situation was dire.
Therefore, Meng Chuan doesn't have much time left to evacuate.
"Master, everything is arranged."
Bi Wang's voice came through the communicator, tinged with a barely perceptible tension:
"On the surface, Zhan Qi, Lao Liu, and Ying Die will escort you down the Hudson River, through New York Bay, and then onto a cargo ship to reach the high seas. Secretly, Xue Luosha has already led thirty top assassins from the Shura Hall to wipe out the visible sentries within a five-kilometer radius of the coast, however..."
Meng Chuan asked:
"But what?"
"Satellite surveillance cannot be completely blocked. Trump has deployed three patrol boats from the Coast Guard, as well as two helicopters, to monitor New York Bay."
"What's more troublesome is that he seems to have mobilized armed forces hidden among the civilians. These people are dressed in civilian clothes, carrying modified weapons, and are scattered in abandoned factories on both sides of the river. Our people have already exchanged fire with them three times."
It's already Halloween Eve (November 1st).
The election results will be announced in mid-November.
The president, who is on the verge of stepping down, has become somewhat deranged.
He would absolutely not allow Meng Chuan to leave the country easily before the results were in.
Meng Chuan smiled calmly:
"As expected. What wouldn't a mad dog that's almost lost the election do? Tell Blood Rakshasa not to linger in the fight, just clear a path. We only have one goal—to leave US territorial waters tonight."
"Yes!"
Meng Chuan then boarded the speedboat, and Ying Die had already started the engine.
The deep rumble was suppressed to a minimum by a specially designed silencer.
The speedboat, like a black fish, disappeared silently into the darkness without even turning on its searchlights.
Zhan Qi and Lao Liu stood on either side of the bow of the ship, the former holding a modified heavy sniper rifle.
Meng Chuan was toying with a small throwing knife that gleamed coldly.
That was his trump card, a skill that could break gold and shatter stone within thirty meters.
The speedboat had barely traveled a hundred meters when faint flashes of light and faint gunshots could be heard from the shore.
It's obvious that Trump's men have arrived.
And they are already engaged in combat with the Blood Rakshasa.
Meng Chuan knew that this was just the beginning.
Since Trump is determined to keep him, he will not just send these minor figures.
Sure enough, as the speedboat sailed out of New York city and into the open river, the roar of two helicopters came from the clouds.
The searchlight pierced the darkness like a sharp sword, precisely locking onto the speedboat's location.
"Sit tight!"
Shadow Butterfly gave a low shout and suddenly turned the steering wheel.
The speedboat shot off like an arrow, leaving a strange S-shaped trail on the water.
Almost simultaneously, the machine guns on the helicopter began to fire, bullets landing on the water's surface and creating a dense spray of water, like a sudden downpour.
Fortunately, it was already late at night.
If this were during the day, such a scene would surely have astonished countless people.
And during the day, there is no cover of night.
No matter how skilled Shadow Butterfly is at sailing, she can't dodge bullets strafing from high altitude.
Zhan Qi suddenly stood up and shouldered his sniper rifle.
He took a deep breath, steadied himself amidst the violent rocking of the speedboat, and locked his sights on the rotor blades of one of the helicopters.
With a muffled gunshot, the bullet, whistling through the air, struck the helicopter's drive shaft precisely.
The helicopter immediately lost its balance and crashed into the water like a kite with a broken string, creating towering waves.
"Pretty!"
Meng Chuan stared at Lao Liu in shock.
This guy is usually quiet, but I never expected him to be such a sharpshooter with perfect aim.
Zhan Qi, on the other hand, missed his target several times in a row.
After all, Shadow Butterfly steered the speedboat in an S-shape.
It's impressive that he can even stand still.
He really couldn't fire a shot.
"Boss, aside from firearms, I could take on Lao Liu with one hand."
Zhan Qi said somewhat unconvinced.
Zhan Qi is more skilled in ancient martial arts.
He prefers close-quarters combat.
Lao Liu is the senior apprentice, but he is indeed not as good as him in this aspect. Lao Liu is more proficient in firearms.
Now, facing the troupe leader, he fired several shots, but missed completely.
It was somewhat embarrassing for them.
"Seventh Brother, if you're not convinced, let's have a contest when we get back to China."
The sixth brother looked coldly at the seventh brother.
"Fine, let's not compete. If you're so capable, put down your gun and we'll have a fistfight."
Zhan Qi said somewhat weakly.
In terms of firearms, even Zhan Yi might not be a match for Lao Liu.
Zhan Qi won't go looking for trouble.
"Shut up if you're not going to compete."
The sixth brother snorted coldly.
Meng Chuan watched the two brothers bickering and was speechless.
In this perilous moment.
Their yachts could be riddled with bullets in the next moment.
They still have the energy to bicker; even movies might not dare to show it like that.
Of course, it's just that Meng Chuan rarely experiences such scenes.
For the seventh and sixth brothers.
Such scenes are child's play for them.
They survived countless gunfire and explosions.
This is a minor incident; even if someone loses their head, it'll just leave a scar the size of a bowl.
"Get down."
However, at that moment, Shadow Butterfly shouted.
Zhan Qi and Lao Liu almost instinctively lay down.
Immediately afterwards, the speedboat passed by almost skimming the edge of a steel bridge.
If those two had been even a fraction slower, they might have had their heads chopped off.
As it burst through the underpass, the other helicopter had already adjusted its angle.
A hail of bullets rained down on the speedboat from all sides.
Shadow Butterfly had to accelerate again, and the speedboat almost flew off the water.
The water splashed up several meters high from both sides of the boat.
Meng Chuan gripped the cabin handrail tightly, but his eyes remained fixed on the front.
According to the plan, they needed to transfer to a cargo ship at a river bend three kilometers away, which was the real den of dragons and tigers.
Sure enough, as the speedboat rounded the bend in the river...
Three patrol boats painted with Coast Guard markings are lying across the middle of the river.
This formed an impenetrable blockade.
The searchlights on the patrol boat were all turned on, illuminating the entire area of water as if it were daytime.
The soldiers on deck held their guns, the dark muzzles pointing directly at the speedboat.
"Master, there's a shallow area on the left!"
Yingdie's voice was slightly hurried as her gaze swept across the radar screen:
“We can try to get through, but our ships might get damaged. Their patrol boats have a deep draft, so they can’t get through.”
Meng Chuan did not hesitate at all:
"rush!"
