Maybe those subspace demons really don't know that their whereabouts have been completely exposed, nor do they know that due to the typhoon, the red mist they relied on has become thinner and no longer has the function of concealment and detection?
Anyway!
Very smoothly, Wang Qing and Awen's temporarily assembled six-man assault team encountered no obstacles this time. They successfully airborne and found the entrance of the opponent's sinkhole hidden in the lush dense forest.
beside.
Although there is still strong wind and heavy rain in the sky, which affects the sight and movement of several people, but thanks to the strong wind and heavy rain, their respective equipment and various battlefield environment supports provided by the base are all maintained.
Connected, they can call for support at any time or control the battlefield situation based on relevant intelligence provided by satellites. It is much better than fighting in that bad red mist without wind or rain.
"I saw that the water on the ground is converging towards the front. The entrance must be here, right?"
"Is this the sinkhole?"
"I'll be a good boy!"
"If it hadn't been marked on the map, we would have mistakenly thought that this was just an ordinary valley whether we were flying on the ground or in the sky, right?"
"Those abominable subspace demons, they are really cunning enough to find them in such a place!"
At this time, while correspondent Liu Li and team leader Awen were tinkering with some equipment, machine gunner McQueen looked at the map and scan data on the heads-up display in his CMC armor mask, and carefully poked his head around.
He walked to the sinkhole and glanced forward, and then sighed in shock for a while.
He found that, looking from the periphery of the sinkhole, the entire sinkhole was completely covered by dense and tall primitive shrubs. Coupled with the heavy rain and the surrounding dense shrubs, it seemed to him that it was just an ordinary and very ordinary place.
Like an ordinary jungle, the branches and leaves of those big trees are a natural green barrier, which directly completely blocks the sinkhole. If it were not for the guidance of the base's intelligence and map, I am afraid he would not even think of the place below.
There is such a big cave hidden there.
Especially those big trees, which are at least tens or hundreds of meters high. Some grow from the underground of the tiankeng, and some are clinging to the walls of the tiankeng. Not only are the trunks thick and thick, it requires at least several people to hug them, but their branches and leaves are also unusual.
The land was lush and green, and even when they all walked to the edge, it was hard to believe that they were looking at a huge sinkhole and the entrance to a cave, rather than an ordinary valley.
"Be good..."
"Don't say it yet!"
"They are really good at picking places, and the environment here is really great."
"It would be better if there was a big sun!"
After a while, when he saw that the situation below was really unclear, McQueen raised his head and looked up. Then when he saw light mixed with wind and rain falling through the gaps in the leaves of the dense forest where they were, dripping.
After falling on the petals and branches of those exotic flowers and plants and flashing brilliant bursts of light amidst the occasional lightning and thunder, he couldn't help but praise a few more times.
"Kunzi!"
"Be careful!"
Seeing that his companion Mai Kun was still peeping under the 'ceinhole' hidden in the jungle ahead, Wang Qing, who was worried that the other party would lose his footing and fall, hurriedly reminded and warned:
"It's very high here, and it's raining and the roads are slippery. If you fall from such a high place..."
"Even if you are wearing a CMC armored suit, even if our current physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people, your mortality rate will still exceed 99%!"
"When the time comes, even if you don't alert the demons below, I will definitely announce that I will give up treatment on you."
"Don't mess around!"
Wang Qing is not talking nonsense!
After all, the improved CMC armor they are wearing now, including weapons, ammunition and weight, is at least over one and a half tons, and if they dare to peek next to the sinkhole with such a heavy weight, if the rocks and soil under their feet cannot bear the weight,
It's really no joke if the rainwater falls down together.
"But don't say that!"
“The environment here is really good, but it’s raining...”
While warning, Wang Qing couldn't help but look around and at the lush crowns of the tall trees several times in amazement.
The environment here is indeed excellent, and if it is a sunny day, I believe that in the surrounding jungle, the chirping of various birds will definitely come and go, and everywhere will definitely be full of mystery and vitality. She even felt that there might be occasional sounds in the sky.
Will one or two birds fly over the sinkhole, and then let the chirping sound echo between heaven and earth?
All in all, this sinkhole, which was covered by dense jungle trees, really seemed like a mysterious world hidden deep in the jungle. Its existence was a masterpiece of nature, which made her have a deep appreciation for the miraculous craftsmanship of nature.
Deep awe and wonder.
And if it weren't for the war, if it weren't for the invasion of subspace demons, Wang Qing felt that it might be the ultimate enjoyment to invite a few friends to a place like this for adventure or vacation when you have free time, right?
It's a pity that this place will be completely destroyed soon, and they took the initiative to destroy it themselves.
Because there are a large number of subspace demons and chaos monsters hidden in the caves under the sinkhole, and there are even portals and subspace rifts created by the demons. Therefore, they have no other choice but to destroy this place.
Together with the demons below.
"Fortunately, it's not very deep. You can snipe the demons below from here."
"The strong wind has little effect on the airflow in the sinkhole, but the heavy rain will cause some trouble..."
The ghost agent Mian Xing held his 25mm anti-infantry shotgun and took aim for a while. He found that all the equipment was indeed normal. From the sinkhole, he could overlook all the situations below and could launch attacks and support at any time. He thought for a while.
Then he said:
"I'll go take a look around!"
"I won't go down anymore and will go directly to support you from above."
"Please pay attention."
As he said that, he looked at what captain Awen, deputy captain Yuehan and correspondent Liu Li were busy with. They probably wouldn't be able to finish their work at this moment, so he turned invisible, and then his whole body was illuminated by bursts of light.
He disappeared in the distortion, and everyone just saw the green dot belonging to him on the map on the heads-up display, groping towards the distance unhurriedly.
"how?"
"I heard that there is a layer of psychic camouflage at the entrance of the sinkhole, which is similar to the shield of a battleship. Are you sure that you can pass through it smoothly without being discovered by the demons?"
Seeing that everyone was starting to perform their duties, and with all-round support from the base's intelligence and satellites, deputy captain Yue Han, who didn't have to worry too much about being attacked by demons, hurriedly asked their captain Awen.
"sure!"
"I'm still somewhat confident through it."
"After all, it's just a simple camouflage and warning use of psychic powers, and the range is so large. Although there must be a lot of psychics down there, they can't take care of it. The range is too big, and it's still raining. Let's
Just fishing in troubled waters?"
"but……"
"I can't guarantee whether you will be discovered by the demons when you get down there."
Having said this, Captain Awen paused, then patted his deputy on the shoulder, then smiled and reluctantly boosted morale and said:
"Anyway!"
"Everyone is ready for battle. The worst-case scenario is just a battle with demons. That's not a big deal."
After finishing speaking, when he saw Liu Li standing up not far away, it seemed that after finally finishing his work, he quickly strode over and asked:
"How's it going?"
Since the mission this time is rescue, they must have all the support in place and obtain accurate information before they can carry out the operation. They must also be fast, accurate, and ruthless. Therefore, they can scan the battlefield environment and communicate with the base.
The role played by correspondent Liu Li, who provides various information support to the team, is crucial.
"team leader!"
"Okay, this is it!"
"According to the intelligence provided by the base and the scan results just now, it was found that the crashed gunboat No. 067 and the remains of the bodies of the commandos are indeed down there. I just confirmed it."
"As for the target we want to rescue, the pilot Gao Lanlan is here not far from the wreckage of the gunboat."
When she saw captain Awen, deputy captain Yue Han, Wang Qing and Mai Kun who were talking about something by the pit, all gathered around, communications soldier Liu Li directly scanned the information she had scanned and the various information provided by the base in real time on the channel.
All the information was told, and the map and location were shared on the heads-up displays of everyone in the team.
"this is……"
"etc!"
"its not right!"
Soon, Captain Awen, who was staring at the map, noticed something unusual and asked with some surprise:
"This green dot..."
"That's the pilot we want to save, right?"
"But……"
"There were so many demons around her, and those dense red dots, even a few hundred are considered few. How did she survive?"
"Being captured?"
"But since when did demons have the habit of keeping people alive?"
Yes, as the captain, Awen, the more he looked at the information displayed on the map, the more he felt something was wrong, so much so that he almost thought it was a trap deliberately set by the demons for them.
"It's not that she was captured, she hid it herself."
"Captain, look!"
After saying that, seeing that no one seemed to understand the situation, Liu Li thought for a moment and simply used her communications equipment to open a holographic cross-section of the sinkhole in the middle of the lawn surrounded by everyone, and then zoomed in to the rescue target.
After being nearby, he explained:
"This is the crash site. This is the place where the commandos died. They were all at the bottom of the sinkhole. I guess they died after being besieged by demons."
"But here..."
"But it's not the bottom of the sinkhole, but about thirty meters above the ground."
As she spoke, Liu Li skillfully operated and cut a certain aspect of the holographic three-dimensional image, and then everyone finally discovered that the green dot was actually hiding in a hole about several meters deep from the surface at the bottom of the sinkhole.
In a small cave?
"!!"
"You're still caught!"
"You're still locked underground by the demons, so you're going to be in big trouble now!"
Upon seeing this, Machine Gunner McQueen, who was indeed not on the same plane, was the first to shout loudly.
"Not getting caught!"
"But it's more trouble than getting caught!"
"Look..."
However, Liu Li shook her head, and then continued to explain with a bitter look:
"There is an underground river at the bottom of the sinkhole, and the water is very fast, so I guess..."
"When the plane crashed, the pilot escaped from the cockpit immediately, but faced with massive demons, she had no choice but to jump into the fast-flowing river to escape?"
"result……"
"She didn't know that there was an underground river in the river, so she was washed all the way here, about two hundred meters away from the crash site."
"As luck would have it, there was a hollow cave here, and she luckily hid there and continued to send distress signals to the base."
"This is also the main reason why the demons didn't find and kill her."
"But now the question comes: Although the demons didn't find her and couldn't kill her, it seems we can't get her out easily?"
Speaking of which, the layout of the demons at the bottom of the sinkhole, the crash site, the place where all the previous assault team died, the general distribution map of the subspace demons in the sinkhole, and the hiding spot of the surviving pilot were divided into pictures and each one
After listing it out so that everyone could clearly understand the current situation and situation, Liu Li looked embarrassed and continued with a sigh:
"The base has been calculated."
"Once we land at the bottom of the sinkhole from here, we will be discovered by demons if we advance about a hundred meters at most. Then the hundreds of demons at the bottom of the sinkhole will immediately attack us. There is no doubt about that."
"Although they are not something to be afraid of, and there does not seem to be any particularly powerful individuals among them, the problem is that this sinkhole is also connected to this huge underground cave. There may be tens of thousands, or even dozens or millions of demons underneath.
?”
"so……"
"Considering the base's plan to carry out a fusion strike and eliminate demons in one fell swoop, and considering the threat posed by a large number of demons coming out to us, we only have three minutes of rescue time. This is the ultimate number given by the base's brain simulation calculations
.”
"That is to say!"
"Once we slide down to the bottom of the sinkhole, we only have three minutes to rush here to rescue her and then call the stealth medical transport plane to rush in and take us away. If it exceeds three minutes, we will definitely be swept away by the raging
Swallowed by the demon swarm!"
"And when the time comes..."
"After it was determined that we could not survive, in order to prevent the devil from escaping, the base had to immediately launch a fusion strike to completely destroy this sinkhole and the cave below!"
After telling her everything she knew, Liu Li looked at the ugly faces of the team members, and then Liu Li looked at the team member who frowned and opened the mask to breathe fresh air, so that her face was hit by the rain.
The wet captain Awen wanted to know what the other party was going to do.
"..."
However, Captain Awen did not speak. He just frowned and thought about the real-time information provided by Liu Li and the base. He didn't know what he was thinking.
"Can we reach out to her?"
"First calculate the speed and time it takes for her to swim to the surface, and then calculate the time it takes for us to pick her up. Can't we let her swim out on her own and then pick her up directly?"
At this time, before captain Awen could speak, Wang Qing on the side suddenly thought of a solution and quickly asked.
"No way!"
"Whether it's me or the base, we can only receive the distress signal and coordinates she sent. When she escaped, we don't know whether she didn't carry a valid communicator or was damaged. Currently, she only has one locator, so she can't go there.
Contact her!”
"And then..."
"The underground river is very fast, and the flow speed is not something she can just swim out with her own strength."
"on the contrary!"
"Once she enters the water again, she will probably be washed deep underground!"
"At that time, with only her simple pilot protective gear, we may not have the need to rescue her anymore."
Unfortunately, although Wang Qing's idea was very good, Liu Li shook her head and rejected it directly.
"..."
After hearing this, Wang Qing realized that she had taken it for granted. She had no choice but to look at their captain angrily.
"What about the plans provided by the base?"
"Tell me about it!"
After pondering for a while, captain Awen couldn't think of a better solution and had no choice but to look at Liu Li and ask her to continue.
"yes!"
"The intelligence brain of the base has just provided two options."
"The first one is relatively reliable, that is, we need to reach directly above the place where she is hiding, and then while blocking and resisting the demon siege, dig down about six or seven meters, and then rescue her directly!
"
"However, since we only have less than three minutes, and there are only six of us, although the power of the CMC armored power suit is very powerful, if two people go to carry out the operation, even if they bring special tools, I am afraid that there is a high chance that we will
It’s too late, and no one knows what will happen by then.”
"The second option is fast but more risky. It requires one team member to dive in and find the opponent, then use a directional blasting device to directly blow up a large pit leading to the ground, and then escape together."
"but……"
"If we do that, there is a possibility that the diving team members will be washed away by the undercurrent or get stuck midway?"
"Furthermore, when a directional explosion occurs, because the place is a completely closed environment, the pilot is also at risk of being shocked, comatose, or even dead."
Liu Li did not hide anything and directly stated the two plans given by the base that could successfully rescue the personnel in that situation.
"Lily!"
"Can't the base temporarily modify an earth-drilling equipment and then airdrop it over?"
"At that time, we can completely cover the equipment drilling into the ground. Three minutes should be enough, right?"
Suddenly, the deputy captain Yue Han spoke up and expressed another idea that he thought was more reliable.
"Can!"
"But we don't have time."
However, upon hearing the vice-captain's suggestion, Liu Li shook her head.
"The commanders of the base have ordered a decisive battle against subspace demons in all directions during the typhoon. Now most of the troops are ready, and aerial weapons have been dispatched to prepare for bombing. When the time comes, the defense here in the rear will be empty.
Once a large group of demons escape, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"And the worst part is..."
"No matter whether we launch a rescue immediately and alert the demons, they will soon be alerted by the decisive battle in our base and run out on their own, and that is something the base will never allow!"
"So, the base has given an order: in more than ten minutes, the fusion attack here will begin. Even if there is a better plan, it will be too late."
"The convenient time artificial typhoons provide us is limited. The commanders of the base require all troops to race against time and defeat the main force of those demons before the typhoon ends. Our mission will not change in any way!"
At this point, Liu Li, who had a bitter look on her face, stopped.
Because this is a life-and-death war, whether it is their team or the trapped pilot, they must obey the overall situation, which is related to the life and death of mankind on the entire planet. All of them can only obey unconditionally, instead of
It is absolutely impossible to ask the commanders to change the attack plan just so that they can better complete the mission of rescuing a mere pilot!
"!!"
"team leader?"
"What do you think?"
"What to do?"
Hearing that there was such a thing, and seeing that time was really running out, everyone had no choice but to look at their captain Awen again, wanting to see what plan the other party was going to take.
"Since there is no time..."
"Then let's take a compromise approach!"
"Let's go here, use directional bombs to blow up a big hole diagonally, and then dig down along the big hole. That should save a lot of time."
"Just do it!"
"Submit the changed plan to the base and see if they have anything to add and provide guidance?"
"Others get ready!"
"Wang Qing! Liu Li!"
"You bring the excavation tools with you. It will be up to you when the time comes. The three of us and Mian Xing will cover you!"
"Notice!"
"Start the mission in three minutes and evacuate in six minutes!"
After saying that, as the frontline commander, Awen expressed his compromise opinion and signaled Liu Li, the communications soldier, to submit it to the base. Then he and the others got busy nervously, preparing for the next step.
Prepare for raids and rescue operations.
"clear!"
Liu Li did not hesitate and directly submitted the plan that had been changed by captain Awen to the base, and quickly received an approval reply.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Others began to get busy, such as fixing certain equipment, especially the rappelling device that they would use to descend into the sinkhole later. After all, it would have to lower them down one by one. If it was not fixed properly,
, then there will be great fun.
