Chapter 114: These Are Truly Dangerous Goods

Unfortunately, the cargo on the truck had already been moved by someone. They were just a step too late.

The 12x12 KAMAZ heavy-duty truck, with a load capacity of around fifty tons, had its frame modified to accommodate containers specifically. It's unclear what exactly was being transported to necessitate the use of such a truck. The roads near the port weren't particularly difficult to traverse. If it were just ordinary cargo, there wouldn't be a need for these all-wheel-drive off-road trucks.

However, since the truck was still here, it was obvious that the people handling the cargo hadn't left yet. He hadn't heard any sounds of ships departing either. The two cargo ships at the port were still quietly docked, showing no signs of starting up.

Next to one of the cargo ships, some personnel were shuttling back and forth between several oil tankers and the cargo ship. Obviously, these guys were refueling one of the smaller cargo ships.

"Hmph, it seems like we worried a bit too much, but these guys are quite professional. Even at this time, they haven't forgotten to refuel the cargo ship," except for the tanker currently refueling, there were also three other tankers waiting behind.

The refueling wasn't much, obviously indicating that this ship might not go too far. But it wasn't too close either. Once this ship sailed out, it might be a bit problematic to track its location.

These days, there were no satellite locators to help.

"Commander, there are thirty-nine individuals, twenty on the ship and nineteen below deck. The ones on the ship are equipped with RPGs, and their gear looks similar to the previous mercenaries', but it's more sophisticated."

"Understood, standby, Group Three. In case of emergency, you can open fire. Be careful not to hit the tanker trucks and the cargo holds of the ship."

"Got it."

...

While Reno and SPAS-12 slowly approached with their breaching axes in hand, Nicholas, sitting in the armored vehicle, was feeling somewhat uneasy, hesitating about whether to go out from here. After all, this mission was their job as the Statesec. Just waiting here for things to happen didn't seem quite right?

His colleague, sitting beside him, was equally uneasy, but the figures outside wearing powered armor made him reluctant to go out and help. He didn't know if these guys were here to protect them or to guard them. As soon as he showed his head, they would press him back down, giving him no chance.

"Hey, Nicholas, what's going on with these guys? How come all the Tactical Dolls from that security contractor are wearing powered armor? This is a serious violation, isn't it? Moreover, those guys' weapons, RPG-29s and AGS-30s, and those things that look like cannons..."

"Don't ask me, I don't know. I've only been here a few days longer than you. Anyway, let's just be patient. Ever since I met that guy, none of his missions have failed."

"But isn't it too much? Shouldn't they be coordinating with our actions?"

"That's true, but Stephan, didn't you hear what that M1 Garand just said? Over thirty people, with numerous RPGs. Are you sure our three armored vehicles won't get blown sky high once we charge out?"

Even if they didn't get blown up, using the vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns to take out those guys might still cause collateral damage to the cargo inside the ship.

The mission briefing explicitly stated that the cargo must not be harmed!

Of course, Nicholas didn't mention this to Reno. If by any chance the cargo was damaged, he could still shift the blame a bit to them. Still, if it's Reno they are talking about, given his cautious style, he probably wouldn't harm the cargo.

"Ugh! This is probably the most uncomfortable mission I've ever been on. I'd rather go out and fight those mercenaries hand-to-hand than..."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Before he could finish speaking, Stephan was interrupted by a series of gunfire. Both of them quickly approached the closed-circuit system screen, trying to see what was happening outside, but the armored vehicle was parked hundreds of meters away from the pier. There was a huge warehouse in between, and they couldn't see what was happening outside.

"Damn it! Can't see anything!" Stjepan pounded the seat, feeling like they were just sitting here like idiots!

Should they go out and take a look?

At this moment, Nicholas also turned his head back. Through this guy's helmet, Stephan could clearly see the expression on his face.

Obviously, not only could he not sit still, but Nicholas couldn't either.

However, when the two of them pushed open the cabin door and stuck their heads out to see what was going on, they were immediately surrounded by the imposing presence of RFB and others sitting on top of the vehicle.

Eight Tactical dolls, almost staring at them without blinking, while three powered armor T-dolls stood directly beside the armored vehicle, clearly indicating their intention to subdue them immediately if they acted recklessly.

"Reno, what's the situation now?" Seeing this, Nicholas could only helplessly ask Reno over the communication channel.

"No situation, or to be precise, the situation has been resolved. The cargo is safe, all armed personnel have been eliminated, and only a few tanker drivers and co-drivers are left. If you're interested, you can take these guys away. You can come over now."

As Reno spoke, he looked at the few tanker drivers on the ground who dared not move an inch.

Although he didn't know why these guys hadn't received the warning from the previous mercenaries, since it was easy to deal with these fully armed guys, why bother giving himself trouble?

The 30mm cannon directly blasted among those unarmed mercenaries. Even though these guys were wearing protective suits, they were no different from ordinary people against these aerial cannon shells. Plus, with the precise attacks from the T-Dolls, almost all thirty-one armed mercenaries fell in an instant. Of course, this also included the four taken down by Reno and SPAS-12 with their breaching axes.

Nicholas, who rushed over upon hearing the gun fire, naturally felt overjoyed. He hadn't expected to stop these mercenaries' actions so smoothly. It seemed that his promotion was within reach!

Stephan immediately jumped down from the armored vehicle with his men, took over the custody of the tanker drivers from SPAS-12, tied them up, and threw them into the armored vehicle before locking them up.

Unlike the expressions of Nicholas and Stjepan, Reno was now frowning as he opened the door of the flatbed container that had just been loaded.

Immediately, he saw metal boxes marked with dangerous goods symbols, with one of the boxes even half-opened, emitting a faint green light from inside.

"Wow! This is really some dangerous materials. Nicholas, you two better come and take a look at this stuff. I think I need to ask you for three times the commission for this mission." Reno said with a smirk as he looked at the bottles inside the metal boxes.
