Chapter 854: Going the other way
Ron and his team join the search for the Qianlong 4 team, and instead of searching down the river embankment like the police, they jump into the river and go downstream, and from time to time people dive to the bottom.
Seeing what they were doing, Clark was puzzled and asked, "Mr. Simmons, why are they doing this, isn't it more convenient to be on the shore?" β
"The hidden dragon escaped in the water, and if you want to find their traces, of course you have to go to the water." Simmons explained casually.
"Will there be traces in the water?"
Clark shrugged.
Although he has now completely surrendered to Simmons, it does not affect his belief that Blackwater is playing tricks.
Palmyra Bay is not a stagnant water, the flowing river washes away all traces, and it is not surprising that you can find the whereabouts of the hidden dragon.
Simmons had read countless people and could see Clark's disapproval, but he was not obligated to explain.
Yes, the river does wash away a lot of traces, but the dragon will still inevitably trample on the bottom of the river, and it is not long before the dragon escapes, these footprints have not been washed clean, as long as you put your mind to it, you can always find it.
In fact, when Xavier was diving just now, he had already found some footprints, showing that the Qianlong 4 team had escaped in the direction of the Delaware River downstream, otherwise they would not have identified the downstream to search.
However, Simmons didn't know whether he could find the hidden dragon, after all, he was facing the hidden dragon team four - the most cunning hidden dragon team evaluated by Blackwater.
Thinking of this, Simmons called out in the communicator, "Ron, is there anything else to discover?" β
"There were finds, and all traces indicated that they were absconding in the direction of the Delaware River." Ron replied.
"Okay, keep searching."
Simmons finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The Ron team had swam five or six hundred meters away, and they could still find traces of the hidden dragons, indicating that their direction was indeed the Delaware River, not the upper reaches of Palmyra Bay.
It's also more common sense.
As long as the Qianlong enters the Delaware River, goes north to Canada, goes south to the sea, or lands in Philadelphia, the Qianlong Four have too many options, and their capture will be in a dilemma.
So, the most important thing now is to keep the dragons in Palmyra Bay and never let them enter the Delaware River.
"Clark, contact the Marine Police and have them seal off the Delaware Estuary immediately." Simmons said.
Clark didn't dare to prevaricate any longer, and immediately contacted the marine police to convey the order.
"Hidden Dragon Team 4, don't even think about escaping from me!" A gleam flashed in Simmons' eyes.

"Whewβfinally able to catch my breath!"
The duck emerged from the water and took a deep breath of air greedily.
Although Zhang Yangquan was fully equipped in the RV and had an oxygen mask ready, he still felt that the air full of negative ions in Palmyra Bay was the most comfortable to breathe.
He looked to the left and right, saw that there was no one around, and then dived back into the waterway, beckoned to the others who were still hidden underwater, and then surfaced again.
Immediately after, several more heads appeared on the water, and it was the rest of the Hidden Dragon Fourth Team.
"They put their target downstream, and we immediately went ashore and tried to get out of here before they could react." Dewey said.
Ron was not wrong, and he did find traces left by the Dragon Four team underwater, but these traces were deliberately left in order to confuse the Americans.
In fact, Dewey and the Qianlong Team only swam less than 700 meters in the direction of the Delaware River before turning around.
There are some risks associated with this, and if someone in the United States dives to take a look, it is very likely that they will be discovered.
But there are always risks, and so are the risks going down the Delaware River, where the roads are wider but mean more enemies.
Fortunately, they were not exposed when they swam back, and the deliberate traces left at the bottom of the river would lead the American pursuit force to the Delaware River, and the Dragon Four would face the safest rear.
Dewey led everyone to the riverbank, and carefully covered up the traces of the landing, and then got into the forest.
It was about four or five kilometers away from the place where the river fell, and the Americans had been tricked into reaching the mouth of the Delaware River, and they could not find it for a while, and by the time they found out, they had already run away without a trace.
After walking some distance through the forest, Dewey stopped and said, "Old wet, map." β
Wei Laoshi took out the tablet from his backpack.
Everyone had already discarded everything they could, leaving only a few weapons for self-defense, and he was the only one who put all his belongings in his backpack and carried them.
Diving is hard work, and he has added a lot of resistance to carrying a backpack, and now he is tired and a little panting.
But no one blamed Wei Laoshi, because the things he was carrying were even more important than firearms to the fleeing Qianlong Dragon.
"We are now on the edge of the Palmyra Bay Natural Park, and we will leave this forest about a kilometre further on......"
Wei Laoshi pointed to the map and analyzed the situation to everyone, and everyone listened carefully.
After analyzing the terrain, Wei Laoshi asked, "Xian'er, how are you going to go?" β
"Let's go here first," Dewey gestured to the nearest town, "and see if he can get a car." β
According to the original plan, they would enter the water at the Delaware River Bridge before entering Philadelphia, but the plan never changed quickly, and the American lockdown forced them to change their route, and then the police frantically prevented them from approaching Palmyra Bay, which made Dewey realize that they had guessed their plan, and then changed the plan temporarily.
Now, in the case of not knowing the enemy's situation, he doesn't have much clue, he can only take one step at a time.
The others understood this and followed Dewey towards the town.
"I'll give the shepherds a call and see how they're doing."
Dewey took out his phone and dialed the shepherd.
At this time, the shepherd was on the way to Binhai with Ainur, and as soon as the phone rang, he immediately took it out and answered it, and asked urgently: "Xian'er, how are you?" β
Qianlong has passed the most secure encryption, and the result of non-personal use is to detonate the miniature bomb hidden inside, completely destroying all the data, so he is not worried that Dewey's mobile phone will fall into the hands of the Americans.
"Safe for now, what about you?" Dewey asked rhetorically.
"We are all safe and are now heading in the direction of Marina City, and when we get there, we will find a boat to go to sea. Where are you now, I saw the news before that you were trapped in Palmyra Bay, are you out of trouble now? The shepherd asked worriedly.
"Oh, we're all in the news? The paparazzi in the United States are very capable of business, and even we know that we are trapped in the Palmyra Bay Natural Park. Dewey couldn't help but laugh.
"You have made such a big move, the police have blocked Route 73 and the Palmyra Bay Natural Park, and if the American paparazzi can't analyze it, they will not be laid off en masse." The shepherd laughed.
"That's right, we're out for the time being, but their roundup has also disrupted all my plans, and now I can only take one step at a time." Dewey said without concealment.
"Well, do you want to come and come with us?" The shepherd suggested.
"Forget it, it's estimated that it will be tomorrow when we pass, you and Ainur hurry up, don't worry about us, as long as you are safe, I can spread my hands and feet here." Dewey replied.
"Well, be careful, Ainul and I are waiting for you in the country, please drink!" The shepherd said.
"Okay, it's decided, let's go back to China and get back together. I won't tell you, we're in the place. β
Dewey hung up the phone, and when he reached the end of the forest, he could already see the townhouses outside the forest, and the honking of cars could be heard clearly.
However, Dewey did not go out immediately, but said to the duck: "Duck, you go out and have a look first." β
The duck handed the gun in his hand to the chicken thief, and simply straightened the wet clothes on his body, and then touched the outside of the forest.
The town is built on the forest, and the townhouses are facing away from the forest, and the environment is very elegant.
The duck came to the backyard of a villa, leaned down and touched the back window, and quietly observed inside.
It was quiet in the villa, and he pulled out his dagger and gently pried open the window.
The duck was about to jump in through the window when suddenly there was a barking sound from inside.
A golden retriever ran into the room, and when he saw the duck, he barked and pounced on him.
Instead of retreating, the duck leaped in, kicking his right foot in the air and hitting the golden retriever in the neck.
The golden retriever was kicked out on the spot, slammed into the wall and was no longer sound.
When the duck landed, he ignored the fainted golden retriever and walked straight into the room.
The golden retriever screamed so fiercely just now that it didn't attract any noise, and it was obvious that there was no one else in this villa, and the duck didn't need to hide his tracks anymore.
Sure enough, as he expected, the villa was empty, it was work time, and the owner should not have returned home yet.
"Safety."
The duck immediately sent a signal to everyone, and Dewey and the others immediately rushed out of the forest and jumped into the villa.
"Find out if there are any clothes."
Everyone had just climbed out of the river, and their clothes were soaked, and if they went out on the street like this, they would not need to be questioned by the police, and ordinary residents could see that they had a problem.
Several people immediately rummaged through the room.
Luckily, the male owner of this house is not so tall and burly Europeans and Americans, and although there is a gap between the body shape of the hidden dragons, it is not too big.
Dewey and his colleagues tried to choose sportswear as much as possible, so that even if the clothes didn't fit well, they wouldn't arouse the suspicion of others.
After changing their clothes, everyone packed their wet clothes again, and when they were about to leave, the duck suddenly said, "Xian'er, what do you think this is?" β
Dewey looked up and saw that he was holding a car key in his hand, and couldn't help but smile: "Today's luck is really good, I can steal less cars on the street." β
"More than that, do you know what kind of car this is?" The duck smiled and replied to himself, "It's another RV." β
