Chapter 151: Captain's Peak
East of Yosemite National Forest.
Two Black Hawk helicopters had just skimmed over a mountainside near the CA120 road, and under the cedar forest, piles of cedar branches and leaves suddenly trembled, and a pair of large furry hands pierced out from under the branches, followed by a tall figure.
Bob shook off the branches and leaves on his body, looked at the black hawk who was already far away, and sighed softly.
Then he turned and cleared the leaves that had covered the tent, and said to the inside of the tent, "Come out, Elisa! ”
This is the fourth day that Bob and Alyssa have been in the mountains, and after a few days of hiding in Tibet, the two were lucky enough to escape the drone search and not be spotted by the National Guard soldiers.
Since yesterday afternoon, Bob has noticed that the number of drones that used to be as annoying as flies has begun to decrease dramatically, and the police cars patrolling the highway have disappeared. This made the next action of the two much easier, according to the National Guard, presumably the results of the search operation had already been achieved, and the robbers were either killed or captured. However, in the past two days, Bob's radio seems to have gone wrong, and he can't hear from the outside world anymore, so Bob is not sure what the situation is.
"Alyssa, get ready to pack your tent, we still have twenty-eight kilometers to travel today!"
Alyssa nodded, and was about to speak, when her brows suddenly furrowed, and she looked at Bob and said, "Bob, did you hear anything?"
Bob looked at Alyssa blankly and said, "What's the sound?"
Soon, Bob's brow furrowed. Looking down the hill, he said, "Got a car?"
Alyssa was a little unsure, "It should be!"
The two hurriedly leaned down, and in less than a minute, the sound of the engine gradually became louder, and a desert camouflage-painted Humvee military vehicle drove out at the corner of the CA120 highway down the mountain, followed by a second and a third......
Soon, the true face of the team is revealed to Bob and Alyssa.
To Bob and Alyssa's surprise, there were four helicopter gunships hovering over the convoy.
Looking at the obviously modified black bus in the center of the convoy, Bob and Alyssa looked at each other, and Alyssa asked, "Bob." What do we do next?"
Bob said, "Wait for them to pass." Let's go ahead and see. ”
It was only soon that he realized that this idea was not realistic.
In the convoy, inside a specially modified Humvee, a soldier suddenly pointed to the screen of the thermal imager and said: "There is a heat source reaction on the mountainside, 800 meters in a straight line. It doesn't look like a wild animal. ”
The commander nodded. Connected to the wireless communication equipment in the car, he said: "Green Guard 4 calls Firebee. The Green Guard 4 called for the Firebee, and an abnormal heat source was found on the mountainside on the left side of the convoy, and an abnormal heat source was found on the mountainside on the left side of the convoy. Go immediately and find out, go and find out at once. ”
"Firebee understands!"
Fifteen minutes later, the convoy was already far away, and Bob and Alyssa were just about to set off when the sound of a helicopter was heard in the sky again, and the direction of flight was straight to where the two were located.
Bob looked at the heavily armed special operators who had slipped down from the Black Hawk and was a little speechless, "Hey guys, how did you find us?"
………………
Captain Peak.
Captain's Peak is a very representative vertical rock wall in the Yosemite National Forest in the United States, about 910 meters high, is a natural granite boulder, the granite on the cliff is said to be 100 million years old.
Since there are almost no gaps between the rocks that are easy to climb, climbing the Captain's Peak has always been a great challenge for climbing enthusiasts everywhere in Shijie.
In the past, this mountain would still be a gathering place for rock climbers, ordinary tourists, and photography enthusiasts.
But after days of lockdown, the mountain has fallen completely silent, and tourists are either driven away by the National Guard or, like Chen Xin, they are locked in the town and cannot get out.
At nightfall, the convoy from the Green House slowly stopped at the foot of Captain's Peak.
Dr. Wells and Colonel John Parker, the head of the Green House Guard, disembarked from the Humvee, and members of the Green House Guard, dressed in "light tactical attack armor", scattered around to stand on guard.
Dr. Wells and Colonel Parker whispered a few words, then moved to the bus and said, "Mr. Kahn, we have arrived at our destination. ”
There was no movement in the bus, and Dr. Wells looked at the Apache gunship still hovering in the sky, and raised his voice again.
Soon, there was a slight roar of the bus, and with a thud, the closed doors of the bus slowly opened, and Mr. Kahn, dressed in a thick life suit similar to a spacesuit, slowly stepped out of the bus.
Dr. Wells said, "Mr. Karn, this is the place, isn't it?"
Mr. Karn nodded, "This is it." ”
Dr. Wells said, "Mr. Kahn, what are we going to do next?"
Mr. Karn said, "Come with me!"
As he spoke, he walked along the path first towards the rock face of Captain's Peak.
Dr. Wells nodded and glanced at Colonel Parker, who waved his hand and several members of the Green House Guards immediately followed.
Mr. Karn paused, turned to the soldiers, and said, "Dr. Wells come with me, you stay!"
Colonel Parker asked, "Am I going to stay too?"
Mr. Karn nodded, not speaking.
Colonel Parker turned his gaze to Dr. Wells, who said, "Colonel Parker, stay here! ”
Colonel Parker hesitated for a moment, as if he saw something in Dr. Wells' eyes, and nodded without speaking.
Pentagon Underground Command Center.
The scene under the Captain's Peak was transmitted to everyone in real time through cameras and microphones, and when they heard that only Dr. Wells could follow Mr. Kahn, there was a commotion in the command center.
Leon Panetta whispered in Oguanhai's ear, "Mr. President, do you want to order the Green House Guards to force them down?" ”
Ao Guanhai hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "Forget it, Dr. Wells should have his own judgment, just follow what he says!"
……
Colonel John Parker gestured, and more than a dozen armored vehicles turned their headlights to the maximum, and the figures of Dr. Wells and Mr. Kahn were suddenly stretched by the lights.
Dr. Wells followed behind Mr. Kahn, LED flashlight in hand, lighting the way. (To be continued......)
