161 Main Base: Part 4 (2/2)

”Yes, the smell...” Patrick said.

”The smell of Aline's room,” Alex said.

The forest smelled like a drug lab. The narcos didn't even bother to hide the smell of their drugs from the authorities. They should have realized that any smoke in the middle of a forest was never a good idea.

That could be a forest fire or a drug lab. Either way, those two could attract unwanted attention, attention wasn't something that a cartel would like to have.

”Stop.” Nathan pointed his hands at a small shack located in the middle of that forest. There was smoke coming out from the shack and the smell of drugs in that shack was quite pungent.

There were four guards guarding the perimeter. They were very vigilant in their surrounding. If not for the heavy amount of camouflage that the contractors wore, they would have been spotted.

”Coordinated attack. Alex, you take the one on the left. Patrick, you take the one on the right and front. I'll take the one behind the shack.” The contractors lowered their stance by crawling on the ground to avoid detection.

Patrick crawled to the right direction of that shack. He aimed his rifle at the guards and waited for Nathan's command.

”Shoot.”

Patrick pulled the trigger on his HK416 and one dart flew to the direction on one of the narco's heads. Patrick pulled the trigger again and fired another dart at the narco.

”Tango down. Prepare to breach,” Nathan said.

The contractors surrounded that house from all sides. Patrick covered the backside while Nathan and Alex covered the front door of that shack. Alex began to hack into the narcos' phone and ring an alarm as a distraction.

”Breach!” Nathan kicked the door of that shack and aimed his rifle at the people inside of the shack.

”[Focus].”

Nathan took six people at once with his rifle before they had the time to react. Patrick jumped into a window of that shack and shot his rifle at one narco.

Nathan wore his gas mask since the air in that shack was quite toxic. Patrick also wore his gas mask and Alex did the same too. It turned out that one of the beaker glass fell to the ground and release the pungent smell to the air surrounding it.

It felt as if someone just threw a bucket bleach at the whole shack. The smell was quite annoying and poisonous. ”How many cokes do they produce each day?”

There were six bags of cocaine in the table of that shack. It was located right beside the place where they cooked it. The cocaine was ready to be shipped. There was also a logo on the plastic that protected the coke. It was a very familiar logo. Ambrosia cartel was the one behind all of that drug operation.

”An old friend eh.” Nathan started scanning one of the bodies and the other contractors did the same thing. They scanned the bodies of those unconscious narcos and the bodies disappeared into thin air.

[Seven new staffs have been added]

[Medical Team has reached LV.2]

”Well, it looks like all of them were either a chemist or a drug manufacturer,” Nathan commented.

”Yup, they must have that kind of occupation,” Patrick said as he looked at the lab coat around that shack.

”Let's move out. Our Intel said that this is not their main operation network. Let's head deeper into the forest,” Nathan said.

The contractors left that shack and entered the dense jungle again. They needed to find something else. They were hoping that they could find R\u0026D staffs since they were the one who was responsible for the development of more effective weaponry for the contractors.

”You should go to a place where there's a submarine base, Nathan,” Patrick said.

”Why?”

”Because that's where the engineers are located. This kind of base will only contain maintenance personnel,” Patrick said.

”I know, but this base has the most labs around the entire region and we also need to manufacture our own drugs,” Nathan said.

”I see.” Patrick continued walking on that forest as they were heading to another narcotics lab.

Alex found another source of activity. He saw another dot on their northwest side. In the direction of 290°, there was a hostile lurking around. The closer they got to that hostile, the stronger the signal became. The guard was an ordinary guard.

”Down.” Alex shot his rifle at that guard and he immediately went unconscious.

”Patrick, it looks like we just have a jackpot.” Nathan looked at one direction as Patrick scanned that unconscious guard.

”What?” Patrick approached Nathan and he saw what Nathan saw. ”A training camp? This is going to be great.”
