Chapter 15 Unknown Land
Everyone on the combat vehicle packed up their things, completed the security check, and lined up to eat in the canteen arranged by the base. Like the canteens in all military bases, the canteen here is spacious, bright, simple and clean, with rows of tables and stools arranged
Neatly.
After sitting down according to the arranged table number, Wu Tian and Wang Rui brought pots of food one after another, a large bowl of rice, a large bowl of meat, and a large bowl of vegetables. They were all packed in steel basins that were as big as a person's arms. The portions were very sufficient.
.
"Wow, I haven't had such good food in a long time." Zhang Zhong whispered, picking up the dinner plate and filling himself with a full plate of rice.
"It seems that this base is lacking everything." Chu Xiang also lowered his voice.
"Of course." Wu Tian whispered. Zhang Zhongchu told the two that they were not soldiers and could talk at the dinner table, but Wu Tian did not dare to violate military regulations and only dared to whisper two words.
Everyone had not eaten such good food for a long time, and each one of them was reincarnated as a starving ghost. If it were not for the military canteen, where everyone did not dare to act recklessly, the scene might be more lively than the vegetable market.
"I haven't eaten vegetables in a damn long time." The swordsman named Li Wusheng shouted in a low voice, and kept stuffing vegetables into his mouth, wishing he could swallow the whole bowl.
"Sister, please leave some for us." Liu Ershen, the driver of the chariot, cursed in a low voice. He didn't even put the rice on the table, but filled it with a lot of vegetables.
Since the great change, the earth's environment has become unsuitable for growing crops. Except for occasionally eating vegetables during military operations, non-military personnel like Chu Xiang and Zhang Zhong can only eat the meat of mutant beasts. Sometimes
It would be great to be able to pick some mushrooms and wild vegetables in the remote countryside. I am happy to have food occasionally.
After the great changes, there was a lot of food stored in granaries in various places. If you were not afraid of danger, you could participate in military operations or go out to search for it yourself. Rice was relatively easy to eat, and vegetables were not as scarce.
Gobbling up the food, the eight of them finished three large bowls of food in less than five minutes. Everyone's stomachs were swollen from the food, and Chu Xiang was also eighty percent full.
After eating, Wu Tian led everyone back to the chariot and waited for the next order.
After staying in the ice and snow for several days, the warm base made people feel sleepy. Just after eating, Chu Xiang felt sleepy and his head felt heavy. After returning to the tank, he went to sleep in the tank.
.
After sleeping for more than half an hour, Wu Tian woke up Chu Xiang. It turned out that the task had been arranged.
After getting up, Chu Xiang was a little frightened. Normally, he would feel it as long as someone approached him, but now he had to be called to wake up. If the person had malicious intentions, a few lives would not be enough to kill him. He knew that he might have absorbed it.
Because of my resentment, I quickly cheered up, kept telling myself to be vigilant, and used repeated mental cues to strengthen my sense of vigilance.
Not everyone participated in the arranged tasks. Only Zhang Zhong, Wang Rui and Chu Xiang were on the list. The three of them followed Wu Tian for more than ten minutes and came to a conference room. There were already many people in the conference room. The three of them
Wu Tian left after entering and did not come in. His name was not on the task list.
The three of them found a seat and sat down, and some people came in one after another. Chu Xiang glanced at the crowd and realized that these people were selected elites, who were probably going to perform difficult tasks.
Everyone waited quietly, no one said anything, and not long after, a young man with the rank of colonel came into the conference room. The expressionless colonel glanced at everyone in the conference room, and regardless of whether everyone was there, he turned on the computer and displayed on the big screen.
A map was displayed, and the colonel said: "My name is Song Ming, and I am the commander of this operation. This is our mission location. The mission level is S-level. The goal is to capture a mutated object. The personnel are: crawlers.
Three infantry fighting vehicles, four snipers, six melee combatants, five heavy machine gunners, and a total of 26 operational personnel. This operation is codenamed: Wuming. The specific combat plan is as follows:...
"You are all veterans. I won't talk nonsense. Grab your weapons and gather in the equipment room 178 in twenty minutes." After the action plan was arranged, the colonel said.
After leaving the conference room, Zhang Zhong said: "It seems that this mission is a bit troublesome."
"It's S-level, can you spare the trouble?" Wang Rui said with a smile, not caring about the upcoming danger. He has experienced many life and death, and is used to licking blood with the blade of a knife. No matter how dangerous the mission is, it is nothing more than a trivial matter.
"Such a firepower configuration cannot be resisted by ordinary things." Chu Xiang frowned.
"Did you notice the colonel's wording? His description of a mutated object is neither a living entity nor a non-living entity, but an object." Zhang Zhong pointed out the key point keenly.
"That is to say, based on the current information, it is not possible to determine what our goal is." Chu Xiang said.
"Then why don't we investigate clearly before taking action? Is it because time is urgent, or it is simply impossible to investigate." Wang Rui said doubtfully.
"It's possible, but wouldn't it be more interesting this way?" Zhang Zhong smiled, with a hint of excitement on his face.
Back to the chariot, Zhang Zhong took the long gun and Wang Rui took the heavy sniper rifle. The others didn't ask any questions. Everyone knew that it was best not to know what they shouldn't know. They said take care and went on with what they should do.
.
In the equipment room No. 178, everyone arrived one after another. Three tracked infantry fighting vehicles were already on standby. A tall and majestic lieutenant colonel officer was equipping everyone with equipment. Each person was issued a set of protective equipment. Fourteen thermal weapons
The personnel were fully armed and neatly dressed. Chu Xiang chose not to wear protective equipment and only wore simple communication tools. Zhang Zhong tried it on wearing a body armor and found that it did not affect his marksmanship, so he also wore it. The other two close combatants also wore it.
Put on a body armor.
After a while, Song Ming came to the equipment room. He had already changed into a snow camouflage uniform, and there was a long sword hanging on his waist. It was not clear whether it was for decoration or combat. His expression was stern.
There are three infantry fighting vehicles. Each infantry fighting vehicle is assigned two close combatants, two heavy machine gunners and one heavy sniper. In addition to the equipment on everyone's body, the vehicle also carries a lot of various equipment. Here are a few pictures
Wire mesh, a large cylinder, several bundles of wire ropes, and a truck full of ammunition.
Weapons were inspected and communications were tested. The soldiers completed pre-war preparations as usual. Everyone got on the car. Song Ming gave the order and the team set off.
"Attention all units, stay alert and set off." Song Ming's voice came from the headset.
The convoy did not leave through the original gate, but through another much smaller gate. Obviously, this base has several entrances that can be entered and exited. The base gate slowly opened, and snowflakes flew into the base with the wind. Suddenly, they came from the warm base.
In the ice and snow, Chu Xiang suddenly couldn't help sneezing.
"No way, you're sneezing like this?" Zhang Zhong looked at Chu Xiang strangely.
"It's a bit strange." Chu Xiang rubbed his brows and didn't know what was going on. He had been active in the ice and snow all year round and had gone from warm to cold countless times. He had never sneezed before, but something like this happened today.
"Is there a woman missing you?" Wang Rui said with a smile.
"It's possible that as handsome as I am, I don't know how many women want to throw themselves into my arms." Chu Xiang said with a serious expression. Although he was telling a joke, his tone was a bit serious.
"This is the first time I've seen such a thick-skinned person." Zhang Zhong said with a smile.
"The gun can't even penetrate it," said another tall soldier named Li Bin who was in the same car with a heavy machine gun.
"Cannons can't even penetrate it," Wang Rui emphasized.
While the few people were joking, they did not relax their observation of the surrounding situation. They remained very vigilant and entered the battle at any time. The snowflakes rolled up by the infantry tanks fell on everyone, as if they were in a fairy tale world, with a drifting atmosphere.
The meaning of killing.
The destination was only more than 70 kilometers away from the base, and the straight-line distance may not even be 40 kilometers. The chariot left the base and began to climb mountains and ridges along the mountain paths. The driving route of the chariot had already been planned, and some of the routes could not have been planned.
The passage areas have been repaired, and although there are some bumps, it does not affect the movement of the tracked infantry fighting vehicle, which shows the importance attached to this operation.
There were very few wild beasts still moving in the ice and snow. The roar of the chariot alerted the surrounding mutant beasts. Some mutant beasts that were so hungry that they lost their minds rushed towards them, but they were all killed by the snipers on the car with precise marksmanship. Some wanted to
The pursuing mutant beasts were unable to pose a threat to the chariot due to the thick snow.
The overhead drones conducted real-time detection to ensure the safety of the route. The tanks traveled according to the predetermined route and the journey was smooth. More than an hour later, the three tanks approached the predetermined location.
"Attention all units, we are about to enter the target range and prepare to fight." Song Ming's voice came from the headset.
Three chariots came to a valley. After some observation, the chariots slowed down and went down the valley. Chu Xiang observed the surrounding terrain. There were two towering hills on the left and right, and there were many rocks on the slopes. The terrain was dangerous, due east.
There is also a high mountain, with clouds and mist at the top, and the dark mountain looks like an evil beast dormant. The direction that everyone came in is the canyon due west. There is a small hill in the middle of the valley. There is a cliff between the small hill and the hill due east. The temperature is 20 below zero.
Under the temperature of several degrees, there was actually a small stream flowing under the cliff.
"The target must be over there." Chu Xiang pointed at the cliff.
"With the yang behind and the yin gathering, and the cliffs and cold water, this place is probably a dangerous place." Zhang Zhong said with a solemn expression.
"Look at this hill, what does it look like?" Chu Xiang pointed to the front again.
After being stunned for a moment, Zhang Zhong suddenly blurted out: "Tomb."
The topography of this place is exactly the shape of a standard tomb. The cliffs on three sides are like tomb walls, and the tomb head in the middle is the entrance of the tomb where everyone comes in.
"The shape of a dead land, ice-free water, a poisonous dragon's mouth, a place of great danger." Zhang Zhong said solemnly.
"That cave entrance is our target." Wang Rui pointed to the dark cave under the cliff. The cliff looked like a tombstone inserted behind a grave.
"There is not a single mutant beast in this valley." Heavy machine gunner Li Bin suddenly said.
"A place that even mutant beasts avoid seems to be worthy of the difficulty of this S-level mission." Another machine gunner Chen Dehong said with a grin.
While a few people were talking, the chariots drove up the hill in the valley and lined up facing the cliff to the east, with the muzzles pointing straight at the hole on the cliff.
"Machine gunners and snipers, set up fire points and targets in the cave directly ahead." Song Ming ordered.
Everyone got out of the car and set up their positions, leaving only the driver and gunner on the car.
According to the predetermined plan, everyone set up three intersecting firepower points on the hillock, and the heavy sniper set up a shooting position on the roof of the car. Everyone was a veteran, and the position was quickly set up.
"Attention all fire units, stay alert and set up nets."
The scheduled net-hanging personnel are four melee masters. Several people have already taken out the steel wire nets and are standing by. Chu Xiang said: "The target is currently unknown. We don't know if the target will launch an attack, so we have to use the fastest way to clear the hole."
Keep your mask on." Chu Xiang said to Li Gui, who was wielding a knife: "You and I will climb to the top of the cliff, one of us will hold one corner, and throw the net down. The two of them will hold the two corners below, and then set the net in place."
The three of them nodded. Liu Quan's weapon was an iron rod, which was obviously powerful. He also wore a bulletproof vest, so his flexibility must be worse. Zhang Zhong used a big gun, and Li Gui, who used a knife, must have better flexibility than them.
So Chu Xiang asked Li Gui to climb to the top of the cliff with him.
Although he had already made a plan based on the topography of the cave, Chu Xiang still emphasized the process again. When he made the plan, he did not see the topography of the entire valley, but only saw pictures of the cave, which made Chu Xiang's judgment somewhat wrong.
The plan was finalized. Chu Xiang and Liu Quan walked from the left, while Zhang Zhong and Li Gui approached the cliff from the right. Due to the thick snow, the four of them did not dare to walk fast. They carefully poked the ground with their weapons and walked forward cautiously.
, arrived at the creek after a while.
The stream was gurgling and the water was clear. The snowflakes that fell into the stream melted quickly, but there was no heat rising, and there were no water plants in the stream, which was very strange. Chu Xiang stirred the stream with a knife, but there was still no change.
, after the scabbard was removed from the water, the water marks on it quickly froze.
Chu Xiang made a leaping gesture, signaling Zhang and Zhong to jump over the stream without touching the water. Jumping over the one-meter-wide stream, Chu Xiang carried a bundle of steel wire mesh and jumped, already reaching the cliff.
At half the height, I grabbed a raised stone with my right hand, braced my feet on the stone wall, and climbed another three meters like an ape. I repeated the same trick and reached the top of the cliff.
Over there, Li Gui used his hands and feet to reach the top of the cliff in an instant. The two people approached the entrance of the cave, opened the steel mesh, and threw it down. The steel mesh spread out. Zhang Zhong and Liu Quan held the two corners below, and the three of them pulled the steel mesh
The steel drills carried at the four corners were smashed into the ground with a hammer. Chu Xiang grabbed the steel drill and pressed hard, and the steel drill sank into the stone. He then pressed the steel drill connected to the wire rope above the hole.
It took the four people less than ten seconds from casting the net to setting it up.
This is a simple and practical hunting trap. If something rushes out of the hole, the steel drills fixing the steel wire mesh at the four corners are pulled up, and the steel wire ropes strung around the four sides of the steel wire mesh are tightened, the things in the net will be tied up.
The four of them returned to the hill, and Song Ming said: "Every unit should pay attention and prepare to fight."
Chapter completed!
