Several helicopters gathered on the outskirts of Aurous Hill and headed towards the border of the province at high speed, narrowing the distance with the target little by little. 1
On the other hand, the white Iveco Daily was on the federal route, driving according to the speed limit.
They often stumbled upon traffic congestion or red lights that limited their overall speed and traveling distance. 1
Gibson chose the federal route instead of the highway because of one main reason, that was, the structure of the road itself. 1
As the highway was a closed-circuit route, it would be hard for them to escape if the police marked them and set up roadblocks. However, federal routes were different. They were connected to various townships and counties, so it would be extremely hard for the police to pinpoint their location and to block their path. 6
Besides, if they faced any problem, they could simply abandon the van and run away. Federal routes provided a lot of excellent hiding locations. They could hide in the countryside, the residential houses, and even factories or construction sites.
However, they left Charlie plenty of opportunities to pursue them. 9
Hovering in the sky, the helicopters did not have to stop for anything. There were no detours or congestion that were blocking their way either, so their flying speed was constant at two hundred kilometers per hour. 6
After flying for more than an hour, Charlie was only a hundred kilometers away from the target.
Isaac started, "Mr. Wade, their current average speed i s only forty to fifty kilometers per hour, we can catch u p to them in thirty minutes." 1
"Good.” Charlie nodded and said, "Can you contact the local forces that work for the Wade family? Ask them t o block the road in advance, I want to chase these rats straight into the trap." 1
Isaac checked the real-time location sent by Albert and said, "There's an overhead bridge above a river on the federal route. Once they enter the bridge, I'll ask our men to block the bridge and prevent other vehicles from entering, then I'll block the other end of the bridge. They won’t be able to escape then!" 7
