Tiffany perked up after listening and finally realized that she should sober up a bit...

Seeing that Butcher and others had already packed their luggage and gear, ready to fight or retreat at any moment, Tiffany sighed and said, "Am I the only one who's not acting professional enough?"

Mountain Eagle smiled and shook his head, saying, "You're good enough. Not everyone can stay clear-headed after going through the full training with me.

You managing to crawl into bed by yourself every day for the past few days was already quite impressive!

So what you need to do now is to lie down on the bed and think about what we should do next before you fall asleep?"

But now Tiffany was exhausted. The guy in front of her seemed to know her limit, mercilessly pushing her physical endurance every day to the edge.

Yet, because she had enough rest in between and her nutrition kept up, her body hadn't sustained injuries, and she would wake up refreshed after sleeping each day.

Since Mountain Eagle's rehab in Alaska till now, aside from Tiffany's weight dropping consistently and her muscles shrinking, all other changes were positive; she just didn't realize it herself.

Confronted with Mountain Eagle's reminder, Tiffany quickly figured out the cause and effect and said helplessly, "The enemy has been looking for us for a week, which means they've also been preparing for a week.

If they know our location, those coming to attack us will definitely be well-prepared.

Given our current situation, I wouldn't be surprised if our enemies hired the reserve teams from those large security companies to attack us."

Mountain Eagle spread his hands and said, "You can imagine our enemies as the HRT, or even a black logistics version of Seal Six Team or Delta...

The stronger you imagine our enemies, the more prepared we'll be!"

Tiffany looked at Mountain Eagle's nonchalant face, rubbed her cheeks in agony, stood up and said, "You madman..."

At this, Mountain Eagle chuckled silently and said, "Well, you haven't gone mad. Can you think of a better plan?"

Tiffany was at a loss for words...

Indeed, one wouldn't stir up such a big commotion and drag so many people down without being a madman.

Keep in mind, any party involved, aside from those hirelings charging at the frontlines, wielded more power than them.

He was walking a tightrope, and it was a rope with many distracting wires attached on both sides. If it were someone "normal," they wouldn't last two steps without falling and shattering into pieces.

Knowing she couldn't win against this crazed boss, Tiffany reluctantly cursed and then turned to go up to the attic...

After Tiffany left, Butcher watched her leave with a frown and then looked at Mountain Eagle, saying, "Boss, is she really in a state to handle the upcoming dangers?"

Mountain Eagle waved his hand and said with a smile, "Tiffany is the leader of the most elite law enforcement team in the US, the HRT!

It's just that her combat habits differ from ours. Being cautious is a professional necessity, not a sign of incompetence."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle spread out a roughly sketched topographical map on the dining table. Pointing at a marked path, he said, "If we're attacked, after I eliminate the enemy I'll split the team. The four of you will take this path down the mountain, and Blood Fox will rendezvous with you there..."

Butcher frowned and asked, "Boss, where do you want us to go?"

Mountain Eagle was straightforward and replied with a smile, "I need you to take a trip to Arizona. I still have a score to settle with the Solin family.

You guys go ahead and set up a front for me and handle some minor tasks. I'm going to make an appearance in Los Angeles, then I'll rush to meet up with you."

After hearing this, Butcher hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "I understand...

Arctic Fox and Round Table Knight only need to command from afar; our real target is actually in Arizona, not Los Angeles."

Mountain Eagle gladly nodded and said, "Of course, the problems with Snowden are secondary as my influence is limited; I'm just playing a supportive role.

Compared to those benefits that will automatically pour into my pocket as long as I stay alive to sign on Snowden's behalf, the big catch is in Arizona.

Black Fox isn't dead yet. He took the lab's research materials to Arizona and offered a price of 40 million US dollars to the Solin family.

I want both the money and his life!

I reckon the Solin family's thoughts aren't too different from mine..."

Butcher, seeing the chilling determination in Mountain Eagle's eyes, decisively nodded and said, "Understood, I'll coordinate with Blood Fox to keep an eye on Black Fox and push the initial stage of the operation, then wait for you to finish the deal and wipe them out altogether!"

Mountain Eagle nodded and seriously said, "Exactly, wipe them out!

Only then can I thoroughly take care of those children and pregnant women, bringing this matter to a definitive end.

That lab is the most inhumane place I've seen in the world, even worse than the slaughterhouses in the Golden Triangle.

The people of the Solin family deserve to die a thousand times over!"

As Mountain Eagle said this, there was a killing aura that surged forth, something that Butcher had never seen in his boss no matter the danger they faced before.

Feeling his boss's resolve, Butcher nodded earnestly and said, "Don't worry, boss. We know what to do."

Then Butcher picked up an AK-105 from the table, hesitated a moment, and said, "Boss, Arizona is an undercover operation. I think we should switch weapons. The same type of weapon might lead to unnecessary associations."

Mountain Eagle paused for a moment, then nodded slightly...

Using an AK was not uncommon, but if skilled AK users appeared in Los Angeles and Arizona at the same time, and Mountain Eagle had no alibi, it could definitely raise suspicions among astute observers.

Especially since most knew he was involved in the attack on the lab in Alaska, it would be hard not to attract suspicion.

Mountain Eagle thought for a moment and said, "What kind of gun do you want?

Can you get used to NATO-standard firearms?"

Butcher laughed and said, "Boss, if you've seen the armaments of Russia's special forces, you'd know we don't reject the enemy's weapons.

To be honest, the AK-105 you provided is very easy to use, with very little recoil, but its caliber and power are a bit lacking.

We're going to do big things, so we should make more noise, which also facilitates the work of those who investigate."

After hearing this, Mountain Eagle nodded and said, "I understand, you name the model, and I'll have Blood Fox and the others prepare...

It's not convenient at this stage in Los Angeles, but in Arizona, it should be very easy to find the weapons you want."

Butcher thought for a moment and said, "The FN SCAR series rifles are very good...

The 7.62mm SCAR-H can serve both assault and sniper roles, and paired with the SCAR HAMR light machine gun, we can form a luxurious version of a NATO fire team."

After saying this, Butcher hesitated for a moment before making a suggestion...

"Boss, for us, at this stage, the UMP45 and AK-105 are essentially overlapping in usage scenarios.

Instead of carrying both around, it's better to choose one as the main weapon and switch to a larger caliber rifle when necessary.

The buffer structure on top of the AK-105 receiver you gave us, although complex, has never caused any problems.

If the AK-103 or AK-15 have the same mechanism, they will be more powerful and even easier to use.

To be honest, the current AK-105 is like a toy to us, they are very easy to use, but lack power, not particularly effective against targets wearing bullet-proof vests.

Switching to 7.62mm caliber AK-103, as long as the recoil can be maintained at the level of a 5.45 caliber rifle, even at the cost of reducing ammunition capacity, it's worth it for us."

Mountain Eagle pondered for a moment after hearing this, then slightly nodded...

Butcher was right, compared to the UMP45, the AK-105 indeed had a bit more range and power, but it fell short in portability and suppressive capabilities.

For their current situation, once entering the city, the UMP45 would be more appropriate; carrying the AK-105 around was indeed a waste of effort.

Besides, their enemies, apart from the first batch of Haitian Gang gunmen who appeared at the motel, had increasingly better equipment, with bullet-proof vests almost being standard issue.

Mountain Eagle himself had extremely precise marksmanship, so he didn't feel it as much, but for others, being at a numerical disadvantage put them under a lot of pressure.

Stopping power!

Even with armor-piercing bullets, the stopping power of 5.45mm ammunition still couldn't achieve the immediate effect they wanted.

But with 7.62mm caliber ammunition, that was another story!

Mountain Eagle nodded in agreement with Butcher's suggestions and chuckled, "Fighting in the city, for us, the AK-105 really is somewhat superfluous...

It doesn't have the concealment restraint of the UMP45, nor the power of a larger caliber rifle.

Moreover, the penetrating power of 5.45 ammunition is stronger than .45 ammunition, which in a city situation can easily cause collateral damage.

I understand, after we return, I'll have someone come up with a solution...

AK-103 then, I know someone with a complete improvement plan, who can not only control the recoil well but also maintain good accuracy.

It just means a little less ammo capacity, which will make me feel a bit less secure!"

Upon hearing this, Butcher shook his head and said, "Boss, ever since we've known each other, there's never been a battle where we've used up all the ammo we had.

It's unnecessary, we're not really going into battle!

Even if we were, you could let Balang or other large breeds carry extra ammunition for you, no need to burden yourself."

Mountain Eagle's so-called fear of inadequate firepower was actually something he had expressed for the benefit of his teammates. If it were just him, ammo wouldn't be an issue at all.

He hadn't used 7.62mm caliber rifles in the past not because he couldn't handle them, but because the enemies he encountered didn't necessitate the use of large caliber rifles.

In fact, Mountain Eagle's personal favorite had always been the VSS, precise, deadly, quiet, with a range of 300-450 meters and a semi-automatic firing mode that perfectly fit his needs.

He could easily adapt to greater recoil, but because of the team's composition in the past, he had always acted as an assault man.

Now that his companions had new demands, naturally, Mountain Eagle would satisfy them, and once Tiffany could fill the void of an assault man, Mountain Eagle would gain even more freedom.

However, that was for after they left this place; he couldn't just magically produce a few guns.

But plans aside, since Butcher had raised the issue of inadequate lethality, Mountain Eagle needed to find a solution...

Replacing all the ammunition in the cabin with armor-piercing bullets was an easy task for Mountain Eagle.

Seeing Butcher's hesitant expression, Mountain Eagle smiled and said, "I've taken note of what you said, after we return, you'll get what you want.

But before that, we need to get through the immediate difficulty..."

With that, Mountain Eagle stood up, smiled, and said, "Everyone should get some sleep early, we'll start preparations first thing tomorrow morning.

Regardless of whether the enemy shows up or not, after midnight tomorrow, we're leaving here!"
