Chapter 1010: Chapter 946: Just Say It’s for Team Building, Alright?

"Hey, one by one, come on down."

The drone that accompanied the team also flew in the sky. Although it was an older model, Jiang Yuan’s Accumulated Case Team’s drones were either borrowed from the Beijing Bureau or solicited from surrounding counties with specific model requirements. The camera quality and noise levels were far superior to those of ordinary civilian models. Previously, there were few opportunities to use it, but this time it captured every detail of the escapees as they fled along the route from Qi Mountain Stronghold.

The rapidly descending man, wearing a black pullover and carrying a pointed long stick, occasionally used it to prop himself or sweep through the underbrush.

"Suspect with a spear located, 100 meters away," the drone team reported softly.

Jiang Yuan looked around and asked, "Whose turn is it?"

"It’s our turn, our turn..." Shen Yaowei immediately raised his hand.

"Be careful," Jiang Yuan said after taking a couple of sips of water, waving his hand to continue climbing the mountain.

Having received approval, Shen Yaowei immediately took three people and moved stealthily upwards. There were plainclothes police officers watching ahead, and with a gun in Shen’s hand, there were no concerns about safety.

The absolute altitude of Qi Mountain Stronghold was not high, but the climb from the base of the mountain on the winding path was not easy. Supplies were transported to Qi Mountain Stronghold by powerful motorcycles, but driving these in the mountains required skill, and the police force could not find over a hundred motorcycle enthusiasts who were capable and wouldn’t end up tumbling down the mountain with their guns.

In such a case, it’s better to climb the mountain on foot.

It takes roughly thirty to forty minutes to walk from the base to Qi Mountain Stronghold, assuming one walks continuously and is physically strong. Like now, however, with frequent stops to apprehend people, the main force inevitably got delayed.

"Yo ho."

In a short time, Shen Yaowei returned clutching a suspect. The four of them seemed like hunters returning from a hunt, took pictures with a photographer, assigned a number to the suspect, and then two detectives took the suspect down the mountain.

Behind Jiang Yuan’s team was a large force of over 100 people who were the first batch of reinforcements from Chang Le City’s police. The next wave of reinforcements would arrive in about an hour, mainly consisting of hundreds of armed police, who would serve as the principal force at the rear.

Beyond that, the Changler City Bureau had organized more personnel on standby, which meant all officers had their leave canceled and were gathered to be ready. If necessary, they would be sent up; otherwise, the two hundred or so people in front could already effectively blockade Qi Mountain Stronghold. They could also help with some logistics afterward; there shouldn’t be big issues.

And if we really encounter a situation where we can’t handle a sniper rifle and must resort to recoilless guns, rocket launchers, or armored fighting vehicles like our predecessors, there’s no need to rush. Sometimes, a polite request from the officers at the front, a tentative attack by the tactical team, and fighting rotationally for a day or two, most of the battle should come to an end.

If the fight doesn’t end with that, then we would need to use our predecessors’ experience and blast it open.

"Here comes another one, hey, this time there are two!" The drone team reported again: "They are carrying bags, quite bulky and low-hanging, suspected of carrying drugs."

"Send one of the squads to take care of it," Jiang Yuan told someone off to the side.

Wang Chuanxing checked the chart in his notebook, made a mark, and said, "Then it’s the turn for the second team of Captain Liu’s Squad."

"Ha, our turn finally!" Liu Wenkai, who had just reinforced the team, laughed and added, "Sorry for saying we came to help, we’re just reaping the benefits."

"Team building, you know, is all about making everyone happy," Jiang Yuan was quite relaxed at the moment, carrying a gun up the mountain without feeling tired. If there were to be an assault, it would be considered at the top of the mountain near the stronghold, and it would likely be the armed police’s responsibility then.

Liu Wenkai laughed in a very KTV-like manner. As he passed by Jiang Yuan, he patted his shoulder and said, "Happy, genuinely happy, Captain Jiang, you really are the treasure of Ning County! I’d call your team-building exercise the best in China."

As far as we know, there are several hundred drug addicts in Qi Mountain Stronghold, all of them hooked on mushrooms, including the backpackers who had gone missing previously, reportedly climbing up the mountain themselves attracted by free mushrooms.

And these several hundred people are not only consumers but also producers. The leaders of Qi Mountain Stronghold advocate a policy where everyone works, everyone eats, so they require anyone coming to the stronghold to either farm mushrooms, handle transportation, or deal with sales. In short, there can be no idlers.

To prevent the wealthy from seizing power, the gang at Qi Mountain Stronghold creatively invented the "Look Little Man" currency, with the widely sold and most circulated "Look Little Man" mushroom as the unit of trade. The use of other types of currency is forbidden within the stronghold—though there is a foreign exchange where money can be exchanged for mushroom currency to a limited extent.

In order to complement the above strategy, the gang of Qi Mountain Stronghold naturally has to enforce a series of compulsory actions on its members, such as forced labor, forced imprisonment, and more, with violent beatings being a daily occurrence. Only through these measures can the freedom-loving drug users be kept in line with the rules.

The oppressed, of course, are not innocent either, with daily occurrences such as fighting over shacks and stalls and competing for cultivation areas within Qi Mountain Stronghold, and it’s not uncommon for underlings to emulate their superiors in forming small cliques.

Moreover, those who like to indulge in mushrooms in this stronghold of unleashed nature aren’t likely to limit their interests to just mushrooms...

In summary, capturing these several hundred people on the mountain, there might be a few who won’t face heavy charges, but every single arrest made is considered effective.

And for the various departments and police officers attending the team-building, there’s always a delightful surprise to be had in the captures.

Mushrooms in kilograms, domestically produced marijuana in liang, a variety of old and new drugs can all be found in everyone’s packages.

Some may not necessarily consume or sell a certain drug, but they carry it around, using it as currency.

Occasionally scanning the faces of those arrested with a police device can also reveal the presence of fugitives and wanted criminals.

In such an environment, tell me if this isn’t team-building. Tell me if this isn’t a team-building that brings joy.

"Captain Jiang, Captain Wu and his team have caught a big one," Wang Chuanxing reported while climbing the mountain, keeping in touch with the other teams.

"How big?" Jiang Yuan asked, out of breath.

"A homicide fugitive, wanted by Pingzhou. He was also carrying a homemade handgun," Wang Chuanxing said with a bit of envy, "The old guy even fired a shot, but missed."

"No one got hurt, right?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"No. We handled it according to the standard protocol for an armed suspect."

"That’s good then, but all teams still need to be cautious." Jiang Yuan wasn’t too worried—under such outdoor conditions, anyone who appears is under full surveillance by drones; he’s not afraid of those with guns. Those who reveal their guns too early get greeted by sniper rifles, and anyone who tries to pull one out at the last moment is likely to end up riddled like a honeycomb.

"Captain Wu and his team have reached behind the stronghold," Wang Chuanxing continued to relay information.

"Have them shout out, see how the stronghold reacts." Jiang Yuan’s instructions were according to the plan set before the operation, nothing highly complicated, just to force the adversaries to surrender or flee, and the hardliners end up being the easiest to deal with in the end.
