A play within a play, a shadow after a shadow Chapter 44 Going deep into the enemy camp
"The first blockade failed," said the soldier at the door, not daring to look up, and his voice trembled, "only one of them was killed." β
Hassan Sharif frowned and closed his eyes, pinched the bridge of his nose with his left hand, and waved at the soldier with his right hand: "I guess it's just a pilot." β
The soldier bowed slightly, turned and ran out.
Although it was expected, I didn't expect the first block to fail so quickly. Hassan looked down at his desk, a map was placed on it, with Hassan's command center as the center, concentric circles spread outward, dividing the yellow-white desert layer by layer - this is the defensive circle formed by Hassan mobilizing all his troops, the more inward, the more concentrated Hassan's military forces are mobilized, and the stronger the combat effectiveness. This is the last battle fortress that Hassan has put together with all his military strength, and if he can withstand all the attacks, he can make a comeback, and if all these defenses are not enough to resist, then he can only doom.
"From the inside to the outside, there are five floors," Hassan said to himself, looking at the map, "I didn't expect the special operations team to break through from outside the first layer so quickly." Then he shook his head helplessly, and slammed his fist against the table, and the solid table shook for a moment. Hassan's forehead was bruised, and there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes.
"If it weren't for those goddamn bastards getting involved!"
With that, he turned his head and looked at the wall on his right, where in addition to the pitch-black guns and bright murals, there was also a safe.
Several kilometers away, the white fox and Mu Yi, who had successfully landed, watched around vigilantly, although there was no noise or gunfire, but the possibility of an ambush by the enemy could not be ruled out. Beside them lay corpses, blood splattering and slowly drying up on the sand, leaving a dark red trail.
"There's a lot of blood," Mu Yi turned his gun behind him and looked around, "maybe because the impact of the bullet falling rapidly from a height was too strong." β
"Leave those dead people alone," the white fox looked back at Mu Yi, who was very engrossed in his analysis, "Soon the quicksand will bury them, and the blood will be wiped clean, and if they are lucky, they will be able to turn into dried corpses and live forever." Compared to this, there will be a rain of bullets ahead, and I won't care about you when the time comes. β
"Cut," Mu Yi pouted, "Who will use you to save me." β
"Me. Behind the two, Gu Lichuan interjected weakly, he was still dealing with the parachute on his back not far away, and he used this thing for the first time, which was very rusty, thanks to the white fox who taught him.
However, what he got was a unanimous "no interest".
"So......" Gu Lichuan stepped forward step by step and looked around, "Our assassination has now become a 'light killing'?" There was an empty space in all directions, not at all as chaotic as reported in the news, there were no scattered and fleeing residents, no soldiers firing, only a few forts in the boundless yellow sand and the high-end cannon on the fortress that had never been seen before. Maybe this is just the outermost part of Hassan's strength, Gu Lichuan thought like this, and when he saw the soldier lying in the yellow sand with his eyes wide open, he twisted his head to the side.
"It can be said that this is also a very normal thing, otherwise there would be no need for the team members like Xingchen who are so cool that their fighting power is so dazzling that they defy the gods and block the gods. The white fox waved his hand and looked at the huge battery, "I didn't expect a terrorist organization to have such a thing as a laser cannon." After speaking, the white fox was stunned for a moment, as if he realized something.
"What's wrong?" Mu Yi asked.
The white fox shook his head, but his eyes did not take his eyes off the cannon: "It's okay, it's okay." β
"It's okay, you can go," Mu Yi poked the white fox with a gun, "or let's go our separate ways." β
"That's not going to work, we've been exposed, and it's a waste of time to go our separate ways. The white fox shook his head.
"I suspect they have more powerful equipment, and they can't use this kind of liaison device in a deserted place, and if we go separately, it might be more time-consuming. The white fox explained, looking at Mu Yi and Gu Lichuan.
"What's more," Gu Lichuan frowned and laughed, "For a huge military organization, there is no difference between the level of secrecy of three people and one person. β
The other two laughed and nodded in agreement.
"Then ...... next?" Gu Lichuan looked at the other two.
All three fell silent at the same time.
How do you keep going? Walking?
A fresh breeze blew through the yellow sand, and a cluster of brilliant yellow gently swept the dry vegetation into the distance.
On the other side, the noisy city becomes somewhat peaceful and tranquil under the afternoon sunshine. People move around the city all the time. Ying Lan often wonders why people who don't love each other live in the same place together, breathe the same air, run on the same road, look at each other indifferently, think about how to get more benefits, even if they live so painfully and tiredly, they must live together forever.
In the crowd, Ying Lan's figure stood out - at the moment, she was jumping step by step, her long black hair trembling slightly with her beating, completely different from the clichΓ© people around her. Followed by Andrei's figure almost buried by the clothes he bought, he was not very strong at the moment, surrounded by those big bags and small bags, and it was a little difficult to walk.
"Oh, you'd better hurry. Ying Lan turned her head to look at Andre, who could barely see his head, with a relaxed and happy face.
Andre's gaze went around the countless bags and looked at Ying Lan: "Alas, why don't you hug it yourself." β
"Hmph, you promised to accompany others to go shopping, of course boys accompany girls to go shopping, of course you have to help girls carry bags and get things!" Ying Lan said confidently, reaching out and pinching Andre's face, because he was holding something in his hand, Andre could only let Ying Lan toss himself like this.
"Okay, okay, I know!" Ying Lan let go, Andre put his face close to his shoulder, and rubbed his face that was pinched red by Ying Lan with his shoulder, "I should have known that I should have let Xingchen accompany you, and you wouldn't have ravaged me." β
"Hmph," Linger turned, walking forward, "Even the stars have to carry things for me." β
The scales of time are slowly tilting to the west, and the sun is beginning to turn from brilliant gold to vivid crimson, and soon the sky will be lonely under the glorious slanting sun, turning into a deep blue and pitch black.
......
In the yellow sand, a group of soldiers with goggles on their faces are standing under the watchtower, the guns in their hands are shining black, and no place is exposed from head to toe, just like the biochemical soldiers in the movie, which makes people feel a sense of fear in their hearts.
They had just received an order to put all of them on alert and meet the special operations group. But they didn't know anything about the special operations group, let alone that this gun dynasty under the leadership of Hassan was on the verge of falling. All they knew was that Hassan Sharif's orders were the truth, and all they had to do was see the enemy raise their guns and pull the trigger. Even if it is death, it will not be spared.
"Someone is approaching!" shouted from the top of the watchtower, and everyone began to move, looking down from above, a living army of ants. The soldiers were on standby, raising their guns and setting up the light cannons on the battery, and their eyes were all focused on the special operations group that was about to appear in the distance on the horizon.
They came, and they didn't know how powerful they were. Except for the "click" of the firearm, no one spoke, and the occasional sound of swallowing saliva could be heard.
Gradually, in the middle of the yellow sand in the distance, a car was approaching this direction.
"It's coming. One of the soldiers couldn't help but say. Perhaps he was thinking that he would die in the next moment, and a wave of timidity rose in his heart, and although he tried his best to contain this feeling, he still felt fine beads of sweat on his cheeks under the goggles and turban, and a layer of goosebumps and chills on his back.
The car was getting closer and closer, and everyone was in aim.
"Wait!" the commander on the watchtower raised his hand, and through the binoculars, he saw that on the car were three soldiers wearing the same windproof suits and goggles on their faces, but they were stained with a lot of blood in addition to their torn clothing.
The car drove closer and closer, driving slower and slower, bringing up a burst of yellow sand. The soldiers gathered around the car and picked up the three soldiers from the car. Through the goggles, the soldier's expression was a little trance, and the smell of blood on his body was even more terrifying.
The commander stepped forward and looked at the three soldiers, and couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart - what happened to the defensive circle that was fighting against the special operations group in front!
"Are you alright?"
"Are you hurt, has the defensive ring in front been breached?"
"What does the special operations team look like? Are those people amazing?"
The soldiers around the three people asked all kinds of questions, shocked or suspicious, and the questions were like dandelion seeds blowing into the sky, but the three people just stumbled forward without saying a word.
"What's going on up ahead?" the commander stepped forward through the crowd surrounding the three, "why just the three of you?"
The three soldiers did not speak, but walked forward surrounded by the crowd.
"Hey, did you hear me!" the commander stepped forward and grabbed one of the soldiers by the shoulder, "I'm asking you guys, what the hell is going on up ahead?!"
Immediately, before even a gust of wind could blow, a bright silver arc of light crossed the commander's neck, and then the soldier withdrew his sword and took a step back. The soldiers who surrounded them were dumbfounded, and the noisy cries just now suddenly disappeared without a trace.
In the next second, blood gushed out from the commander's throat, and the soldiers exhaled, and countless muzzles of guns were aimed at the three soldiers covered in blood.
"What are you doing!" the soldier with his gun asked, questioning the three men.
With a "boom" sound, a huge explosion suddenly occurred in the car surrounded by soldiers, and the air wave lifted some soldiers who were close to them into the sky, and those who were farther away were inevitably knocked to the ground by the sudden explosion.
The three soldiers did not hesitate, the guns in their hands flashed without pause, and the guns surrounding them fell to the ground one after another, seeing the chaotic situation, the three of them ran behind the watchtower. Behind them, the flames from the explosion gnawed away at the wreckage of the car, and the corpses of countless soldiers covered the sand.
"It's a success," took off the hood and goggles, and a drop of sweat slipped down the white fox's sideburns, "This hood is really stuffy, and it's a shame that they can wear it." Gu Lichuan, who was following him, glanced back at the corpses all over the ground, closed his eyes and shook his head gently, keeping up with the white fox's footsteps.
"Why? "Can't bear it?" asked Silver Hitomi, "You should know that one day you will have to kill someone, your hands are covered in blood, you can't turn back, and finally you will be shot several times and die without a good death." β
Gu Lichuan listened to his words, his heart suddenly jumped, and a stream of blood rushed to his head.
Shouldn't I have chosen to embark on this path with Ying Lan? Is Ying Lan also the same person who has blood on her hands and looks at her coldly?
But now he didn't care to look for an answer - the fort that had just been shocked by the explosion had already begun to strafe at them at this moment, and by virtue of the geographical advantage, the three white foxes who were now running had completely become the live targets of the fort. Thankfully, the laser cannon hasn't been used for that yet.
The white fox glanced at Mu Yi, Mu Yi stopped without hesitation, and the sniper rifle behind his back instantly turned into his hand, without relying on the sniper scope, Mu Yi pulled the trigger, and the people who strafed them on the turret fell in response, fell off the turret, and fell heavily on the sand.
"Why did you suddenly cut him just now?!" Seeing that there was no one in the fort, Mu Yi hurriedly put on his back and caught up with the white fox and Gu Lichuan, and did not forget to ask the white fox, "You can obviously sneak in and drive away directly!"
"What's the reason," the white fox said helplessly, "I don't understand Arabic." β
Gu Lichuan listened to his answer and felt very helpless, but there was nothing to refute - it was very reasonable.
"Do you see that car?!" The white fox pointed ahead, and following the direction he pointed, Gu Lichuan saw a military jeep, and there was a machine gun standing upright behind the car. The shouts and gunfire behind him did not stop for a moment, and the number of remaining soldiers was still overwhelming, and they pursued Gu Lichuan and them, who were not very far away in front of them, while shooting.
"Oops, beware, watch out for the candles!" shouted as the white fox threw a grenade backwards.
Explosions and screams rang out from behind.
Gu Lichuan frowned: "It's almost okay, white fox, get in the car quickly." β
"Well," White Fox smirked, "even if we drive away, they will still be able to catch up with us, and when we get to the next outpost, we will be at the back of the enemy." β
"What should I do then?" Gu Lichuan asked him.
"I don't know. The white fox smiled helplessly, and quickly stopped the car, the long knife at his waist was already unsheathed, and between the rapid dances, two bullets were bounced into the distance, splashing two fleeting sparks. Next to him, Mu Yi was holding two guns and quickly pulling the trigger, and at such a moderate distance, Mu Yi's pistol was also bullet-free.
"I don't know?!" Gu Lichuan was a little desperate, "Are you really from the assassination team?!Long Ao didn't think of transferring you to the same group as Xingchen?!"
The white fox squinted his eyes, probably thinking that the number of the other party was still too large to deal with, so he began to think seriously. They are facing hundreds of heavily armed terrorists, and if they are allowed to chase them, they will be in a situation where they will be attacked by the time of the next defensive circle. This time he was indeed reckless. Thinking so, he glanced at Mu Yi and Gu Lichuan, what he was worried about was not Mu Yi, even if it was a person Mu Yi could shuttle between these people with ease, what he was really worried about was Gu Lichuan who had the ability but couldn't kill people ruthlessly, after all, killing monsters and killing people are not the same concept.
Just as the white fox was thinking about it, surrounded by hundreds of people on the opposite side, a huge explosion rose from the crowd, with a loud noise and a blazing wave of air, and suddenly appeared in the eyes of the three white foxes, without the slightest warning, stunned everyone.
