I Can Destroy Planets with My Psychokinesis-Chapter 218. The hunt begins
Chapter 218: 218. The hunt begins
"Mr. Benjamin’s stronghold is in Sinora State."
There was already a contingency plan in place. Aurora spread out a map of Moxico and pointed at a spot on the West Coast, saying,
"Once we have confirmed the target’s exact location, our combat personnel must launch an attack at lightning speed and carry out the decapitation strike!"
Garcia said, "The Marine Corps can provide 200 combat personnel."
Colena immediately followed, "The First Special Brigade also has 100 good young men."
...
With meager forces at hand, the expressions of Lady Maria and the others became increasingly stern.
Moxico itself had weak military strength, without a single tank in the army and the air force barely worth mentioning, its main fighter planes still using propellers... which is why they couldn’t defeat the drug lord.
Even the most resourceful struggle to cook without rice, and knowing Mr. Benjamin’s whereabouts did not make the decapitation strike any easier to execute.
Therefore, everyone looked towards Lu Li. Lady Maria asked directly,
"Do you have a plan? Everyone will fully cooperate with your operation, and you can even summon my Special Service Guard if needed!"
Lu Li shook his head and said, "There’s no need for such trouble, just find out where Mr. Benjamin is, and I’ll handle it."
Even with his past achievements and known capabilities, everyone still felt he was being too boastful.
Aurora, more familiar with him, reminded him directly,
"Hey, you may not be aware—Mr. Benjamin is the King of Sinora! Everyone from peasants to the Governor adores him. This is a mission to infiltrate enemy territory and behead the leader of an empire!"
Hearing this, Lu Li actually became somewhat excited at the prospect of such worthy prey, "Thank you for the reminder. I am confident; let me handle this on my own."
"You alone..."
Everyone thought this was a bit reckless, but recalling his capabilities, they felt it wasn’t impossible...
Especially Lady Maria, whose experience dodging Barrett was deeply ingrained in her memory.
She was not a person of indecision and immediately made the decision,
"Please eliminate this deformed King who should not exist!"
"You will not be disappointed."
Finally, with the hunt at hand, Lu Li gave a slight smile and said,
"Give me a helicopter, and I’ll head to Sinora to wait... Once I have the intelligence, I’ll go straight for the drug lord’s lair!"
All the seasoned individuals present could see that this normally composed young man was showing a hint of excitement... like a lion spotting its prey!
Jessica was very fond of Lu Li in this moment, her eyes moist with adoration.
Teresa, however, felt somewhat resentful.
Her lover lacked initiative, not even a phone call or a message in normal times, and now upon meeting, he didn’t even look at her.
She felt like an oversized toy, only to be used for his amusement.
~~~~~~~~~
The helicopter was ready in no time, the very "Sikorsky S-76" he had flown before.
Lu Li brought only two puppet followers with him, disregarding the rest of the entourage.
Waving to the few women who had come to see him off, Lu Li pulled the collective and piloted the helicopter toward Sinora in the Northwest.
This journey was a perfect opportunity to teach Spirit and Ah Da how to fly the helicopter, preparing for the imminent Catastrophe.
Master and servants shared a bond, and within five minutes, the two puppets had learned to fly it.
Lu Li then left the pilot’s seat, letting Spirit take over.
The helicopter wobbled at first, but then stabilized and continued on its way.
Of course, even if it really fell, Lu Li wouldn’t be worried.
The whole aircraft weighed less than three tons; he could support it with his Spirit.
After another while, Ah Da took over the controls, turning the journey into a flight training session for the two puppets.
Two hours later, the navigation indicated that Lu Li had entered Sinora airspace.
The area was primitive and wild, covered by vast jungles with few electrified places.
But the land was fertile and rainfall abundant, earning the reputation of a "granary", where anything planted would yield a rich harvest, including opium.
It was the end of March, and the opium poppies were just entering their blooming season.
From atop, looking down upon the landscape, the hills and fields were full of these blood-like weeping blossoms.
Lu Li knew that farmers cultivating this stuff made an annual income of 400,000 Peso, while growing food crops brought in only 10,000.
A 40-fold income disparity, it was obvious which side the farmers would support.
It was a headache for sure, but Lu Li couldn’t care less; he was only here to hunt.
He dialed Aurora’s number: "I’ve arrived."
"Received! I’m pinpointing the drug lord’s location right now!"
Aurora was already prepared with a signal tracker and a voice changer that simulated human voices. Now, she took out the satellite phone to call...
After about two minutes, Lu Li heard a loud shout through the phone:
"I’ve sent you the location! You’re very close, just south of Mazatlan!"
"End the fight quickly, or you’ll be overwhelmed by a never-ending stream of enemies!"
"Understood," Lu Li said with an odd expression:
"If I don’t end the fight quickly, it will draw an endless stream of enemies."
~~~~~~~
Mazatlan was a city in Sinora State, with a population of only 250,000 including the suburbs.
At this moment, right in the center of this small city,
Mr. Benjamin, the fearsome leader of a drug trafficking cartel, brazenly appeared on the main street.
He looked quite ordinary, a middle-aged uncle with thinning hair, wearing jeans and a T-shirt.
And, he didn’t have a single guard with him!
The surrounding citizens, upon seeing him, came up to greet him respectfully:
"Mr. Benjamin, how are you! Thank God, I’ve finally met you!"
"I never thought I would see you with my own eyes!"
...
These people, who could only eat their fill thanks to Mr. Benjamin, were his most loyal guards.
Benjamin also warmly shook hands with his supporters, exchanging pleasantries.
Until a one-eyed man came over and said, "Sir, it’s time to leave."
"Let them have a few more moments to look at me."
Benjamin calmly hugged a child before weaving through the crowd and disappearing from view.
Moments later, he got into an armored car and said with an imposing air:
"Simon, what’s the matter?"
"Sir, agents from the Foreign Affairs Bureau have arrived."
The one-eyed man named Simon didn’t look very pleased: "They’re requesting... to double the shipment next month."
"Double... 50 tons! Do they think it’s cereal they’re eating!"
Benjamin’s eyes flashed a cold light, and the temperature in the car seemed to drop a few degrees.
Simon speculated, "It’s probably because of opium legalization in Ohio and Hua State."
Benjamin’s face clouded over: "Damn Foreign Affairs Bureau bastards, nothing but insatiable wolves!"
After a string of curses, he waved his hand in slight annoyance.
The vehicle started and headed out of town, quickly arriving at a luxurious estate in the mountains.
Needless to say, the security was tight; there was a tank, armored vehicles, and an armed helicopter!
Benjamin stepped out of the car, approaching a white man in a black suit and sunglasses.
It was at this moment that a satellite phone in his bedroom rang twice.
~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, Lu Li, having received the message, immediately rushed to the target.
The upcoming hunt excited the six Flying Swords as well.
Lu Li tapped his backpack and said, "You go ahead, don’t let the target escape."
The six Flying Swords whistled out, swiftly scoured from a height, and quickly located the estate, as well as the tank and helicopter inside.
There were also thousands of humanoid light dots guarding the surroundings.
Such a level of defensive power would not intimidate Lu Li.
