Siberian plains

Captain Mondstadt

The current temperature is 10 degrees Celsius, which is relatively warm at high latitudes, and it cannot be called cold for people who have lived in the polar regions for many years.

The rain was rare in Siberia, and although Mondstadt felt the cold, his muscles did not tremble, and the fingertips of his hands could detect the trigger and grip of the Buffalo assault rifle. Night vision devices turn the field of vision green, but it's better than pitch black, and another companion in front of me, wrapped in a tight wrap, groping for the wall.

"Found it," Noyeru said, "come and help." ”

Mondstadt stepped forward to hold up the wall, and the two of them pushed together against the sags, pushing a hole in the concrete wall open. The sound of rain drowned out their cautious movements, allowing water to roll down the otherwise arid stream.

The reaction of hostile lifeforms was not detectable in the vicinity, and according to the information provided by the human figure who arranged for them to infiltrate, the patrol was more lax, and the patrol had already used some means to eliminate it before their operation began.

The overgrown no-man's land was mined, so Mondstadt and Noyeru went up the stream - they were told to look for the ruins of a burned-out house, and there were no further instructions.

"The communication was interrupted, the communication protocol was activated, the identification signal was changed, and the electronic camouflage execution rate was 98 per cent, which was not detected. ”

"Hmph, it didn't take much effort to get in, but what are we going to do? ”

"You're just asking me......" said Mondstadt helplessly, "Anyway, let's go where they say we are." ”

The ankle-level stream rushed from the bottom of the foot to the slope, and the rain seemed to be heavier. Mondstadt noticed gunfire at four o'clock, presumably as the decoy battle on the other side began, and soon an alarm was heard from the outpost there. Helicopters and support convoys will arrive within ten minutes, and the neighborhood will be bustling with activity, leaving them with very little time.

After about fifteen minutes of walking, Mondstadt heard a distant hum and turned his hair to the existing lights approaching them. He immediately reminded Noyeru that the two had hidden under the bridge in front of them. The wooden bridge was less than a meter and a half from the bottom of the current, and they had to crouch down to hide underneath, the fragile deck moaning and trembling every time a vehicle drove on it. Several times Mondstadt thought the bridge was going to break, but the lights passing by on either side of the bridge were less thrilling.

"Those humanoids...... Is it okay?" said Noyeru.

"It's okay," Mondstadt didn't think it was a good time to make a sound, but responded to her anyway, "they're so much better than we are." ”

"Really...... Let's worry about ourselves. ”

As the convoy moved away, Mondstadt and Noyero came out from under the bridge and, after making sure there were no enemies nearby, quickened their pace. After a short period of time, the water of the stream swelled, and the water rushing down the gentle slope became even stronger. They had no choice but to go ashore and walk along the shore.

On the way, Luo Lian's helicopter flew overhead, and Mondstadt and Noyeru had to lie down and wait for the enemy to leave again. To Mondstadt's surprise, the helicopter did not continue to fly towards the gunfire outpost, but instead turned around and hovered in mid-air on a small hill to the north. Seeing that the helicopter was not moving, they got up and quietly moved forward.

Two hours after departure, they finally saw the suspected target, the house burned down to a few supports, long since it was unrecognizable, and the charred wood was a filth that could not be washed away no matter how heavy the rain was.

The field of vision was green, he didn't see anything, he could only say that this was a pile of wreckage, and the purpose of their coming to this pile of wreckage, he didn't know very well.

"Five...... No, six people are coming," Noyeru listened carefully, hiding behind the broken base of the wall, "they're slowly approaching, and it seems impossible to avoid it, Mondstadt." ”

"I see......" Mondstadt replied, preparing to strike.

The whitish lasers that glowed in the night vision device's field of vision first distracted his vision and made him nervous, and then the white lines grew larger, piercing through the gaps in the ruins and reaching out to them. Mondstadt pondered his countermeasures, but in any case, the enemy had a good chance of counterattacking in a two-on-six situation, and the gunfire would inevitably attract the attention of others.

It was too risky to rush into a firefight, but how they could avoid it was also a problem. Mondstadt tried to peek behind the bunker as the six Rollon soldiers stopped, and the leader of the squad was directing the team to disperse. At that moment, the last two members of the team fell headlong and lay unnaturally on their sides on the ground. The other four immediately lay down, seemingly dodging an attack from nowhere.

By the time Mondstadt reacted, Noyeru had turned the corner and picked up his submachine gun and opened fire on the enemy. The muzzle of the silencer silently sent out bullets in the rain, and even when it was close, Mondstadt did not hear the obvious gunfire.

"Confirmed killing. Noyeru breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to the left and said to the hillside, "It's time to come down, right?"

Mondstadt turned, and the two acquaintances were sliding down the hill.

"I'm sorry, Noyero," the shorter figure said kindly, "I haven't been in touch with you, and I'm worrying you. ”

"Yes, yes......" Noyelu pretended to be a little angry, probably because of joy, and her tone was not too impulsive, "It's good to talk to Junoan." ”

"It's going well here, there's no need to contact at all, and besides, I'm not idle. The AI spat out a sentence smugly, especially at the end to show its own merits.

"Where did you go after you shot down the NB-90?" asked Mondstadt.

"Anyway, on Earth," the hooded man turned a corpse over, pulled the communicator off his shoulder, pinched it in his hand for two seconds, and then threw it away, "The important thing is that the intelligence work during this period can be said to be very rewarding, and you have done a good job as required." ”

"We didn't do anything...... Noyelu said blankly, Mondstadt equally confused.

"Hahaha!" laughed maniacally, "just don't do anything, you'll find out in a moment." ”

After the confluence, the group of four continued to walk east for about ten minutes, and came to a base station equipped with radar, according to the madness, it was a sending station for Luo Lian to spread detection signals rather than a general communication relay station, in short, the upgraded Zener protocol communication method used here can come in handy, otherwise they would not have deliberately found a place where multiple Luo Lian soldiers were stationed.

Mondstadt watched Patrick simply kill the guards at the sentry, and the search for Jeffrey had to be held back in his heart, and he would definitely refuse to make it at this juncture. Besides, the strategic significance of Jefuti Patrick is the clearest, and he can't afford to abandon it.

The hidden danger of the outer ring was quickly removed under Patrick's command and the execution of Noyelu and G41 with zero error rate. They approached the two-story building where the radar was managed, ready to mop up the last few enemies at the dispatching station.

"You are in charge of the first floor, I am in charge of the second floor, you do it first. With that, Patrick ascended and fastened it firmly to the window.

Noyeru leaned to the left of the door and nodded towards Mondstadt. Mondstadt grabbed the small shotgun hanging from his rifle with his left index finger and took a deep breath, followed by a thud that pierced the doorknob. He quickly kicked the door open with his foot and shrank back, as Noyeru threw a flashbang inside.

After the dazzling light disappeared, G41 rushed in as soon as possible, and in less than three seconds, several people lay on the ground. Mondstadt and Noyelu then follow up and delve into the interior that was blocked by obstacles, but thankfully there was no one.

"Safety!"

"Safe," Patrick said blandly, "come on." ”

The three of them went upstairs, and Patrick was operating the keyboard of the case, and then turned to the console to adjust a few switches. Mondstadt heard the sound of the radar spinning, and Noyeru looked impatient and walked over to take over the console, while Patrick went back to typing on the keyboard.

"Whew~" but the madness relaxed first, "deliberately fiddling with backward equipment...... Cause me trouble. ”

"So what's going on now?" Patrick's fingers stopped.

"Wait...... It has been confirmed that XK-Pluto 3 has been launched and is flying towards the established route, with ...... still to reach the target location It's here. ”

Mondstadt subconsciously thought it was thunder coming from the sky with a loud and continuous sound, but listening closely was very unnatural.

"What is this going on?!"

"Get down!" shouted Madness, ignoring Noyero's surprised question.

The sky had just fallen silent, and this time it was the earth's turn to roar, with a violent shock that shattered all the glass windows.

After that, when everything was calm, Mondstadt realized that the incident was over, and slowly stood up.

Looking out the window, the rain had stopped, there was not a single cloud in the sky, and the light of the stars shone on the earth, and the sky was clearly displayed above the night.
