Chapter 1224 Ultimate Defense
These people spent over ten minutes moving things, and Li Shaoyi waited under the truck for the same amount of time. When the last person came to close the door, Li Shaoyi switched identities with him. After knocking the man unconscious, Li Shaoyi threw him into the truck bed, and then Li Shaoyi changed into his clothes.
The people who were moving things just now said that this truck needs to go to the dock to load some things in two hours and then return to the embassy. For now, it'll just stay here. Who knows what will happen in two hours? Li Shaoyi isn't too worried right now.
Having changed into the uniform of a European country's marine corps, Li Shaoyi no longer stood out so much. Of course, he couldn't meet them face-to-face; if he did, some things would probably be exposed.
This area was jointly managed by the marines of both countries, so Li Shaoyi naturally headed towards the other side where the uniforms differed. Of course, he didn't approach the sentry post, but rather walked forward from outside the cordon, smoking as if he were in a hurry to do something.
Cooperation between the two militaries is also frequent. The marines from the other country assumed Li Shaoyi was there on business, and as long as he didn't cross the cordon, they didn't bother with him.
Just as his subordinates reported, there were sentries every three steps and guards every five. These men stood ramrod straight, but Li Shaoyi could see them very clearly. However, every now and then, they would stretch their legs. Standing guard here all the time was very tiring; it was better to wander around a bit.
Now is not a good time. Li Shaoyi waited for 10 minutes until lunch was distributed. There would be some gaps around that time.
The warehouse was enormous. Li Shaoyi had been walking at a normal pace from one end to the other for a full 10 minutes before finally seeing the rear gate. However, lunch was being served at this time, and many people were running towards the delivery trucks.
There was immediately a gap of over 50 meters in the middle, and no one was guarding this gap. Li Shaoyi quickly took out a hook from his storage space and threw it onto the roof. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone on both sides was focused on eating, he quickly climbed to the roof.
Of course, there were people on the roof, but Li Shaoyi would never go there. There was a small window about 7 meters above the ground in the warehouse; that was Li Shaoyi's target. Once Li Shaoyi had raised himself to over 3 meters, he no longer needed to worry about the people below, as their line of sight was limited to that point. He only needed to worry about the people at either end; the farther away they were, the higher they could see.
This was the most dangerous moment of the entire operation. If they had been discovered, Li Shaoyi would have had no choice but to proceed forcefully. Fortunately, they were lucky; when Li Shaoyi opened the window, the people below hadn't noticed yet.
After letting out a sigh of relief, I slowly pulled the line back up from the hook. If it were hanging outside, it would be easily spotted.
Although Li Shaoyi doesn't often engage in robbery, he's still capable of these kinds of things. Coupled with his body being modified by the system, he's practically half-superman, making these tasks quite easy for him. Of course, luck also plays a crucial role. If he had been discovered earlier, he'd probably be facing a barrage of gunfire from dozens of guns right now.
Although the system had modified Li Shaoyi's body, it was absolutely impossible for him to charge forward while enduring rifle bullets. At that point, the entire plan would probably be ruined. We could just take out a few aerial bombs and blow this place up. Anyway, if I can't get it, you can't take it back either.
It seems that the nation's fate is still on our side. The fact that such a dangerous situation went unnoticed shows that Heaven is looking out for us. It knows that this money was looted from the land of China and is determined to use us to distribute it back to the land of China.
When Li Shaoyi tried to enter through the small window, he discovered a problem. The boxes inside were piled so high that they completely blocked the window. If it were anyone else, the operation would likely have failed, as the blockage was so thick, and it was unclear how many boxes were inside.
However, this was no problem for Li Shaoyi at all. As long as something was within a few meters of him, he could enter his system space in an instant with a thought.
So Li Shaoyi was like a pangolin at this moment, and the entire warehouse was like a mountain. After entering through the window, he slowly walked inside, and then the surrounding boxes disappeared one by one.
However, within the next half minute, the boxes slowly reappeared. Li Shaoyi wanted what was inside the boxes; these tattered boxes were naturally not what we wanted. Of course, if there were any valuable boxes, then we would have to keep them. After all, these things are more valuable than some treasures.
Li Shaoyi was already shocked. He had seen money before and had even robbed a sum of money collected by the Japanese, but compared to this sum, it was clear that the Japanese robbery was inferior.
Li Shaoyi had come to understand just how ruthless these foreigners were. Although they hadn't waged war like the Japanese in recent years, their economic aggression had still caused considerable damage to this land. Especially in terms of money, no matter what kind of business they did, the majority of the profits went into the pockets of the foreigners, while our people only earned a meager living.
Think of those comprador managers in Pujiang; they earn a meager living through hard work, yet they still live like royalty. They think they're incredibly wealthy, but compared to these foreigners, their money is nothing. The boxes Li Shaoyi is packing now mostly contain gold, silver, and other precious metals; a smaller portion contains even more valuable items.
Although these items were extremely valuable, Li Shaoyi showed no intention of stopping. After all, besides this warehouse, there were two other warehouses nearby. They only had 40 minutes to operate; if they exceeded that time, the people outside would bring in to inspect the warehouses. While they wouldn't open the boxes, if anyone did, their operation would likely be exposed.
So now, even robbery requires speed, and it has to be as fast as possible, otherwise the stuff here will be out of your reach.
