"Captain, look!" A meteor member suddenly shouted in surprise. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Meteor team members, who had long been exhausted, were refreshed when they heard this voice, and they all came over.
A dead body! To be exact, it should be a corpse sitting on the edge of one side of the passage, with its back against the stone wall of the passage. It looked like a person had fallen asleep against a stone wall.
In the three days of entering the underground palace, although Luo Xiang and the others still could not detect the law of this maze, and did not find the entrances and exits, no less than thirty dead bodies were found. And after a rough observation of each corpse, it is concluded that these people have been dead for more than ten years. Although it is underground, it is not damp at all, but very dry and stuffy, and these corpses have existed for more than ten years, and almost all of them have become dried corpses.
The reason for the surprise of this meteor team member is that this corpse is different from the previously found corpse, as this corpse looks extremely 'fresh', and the initial estimate of death is no more than 10 days.
"It's the same thing as the corpses before it, it looks like it's the same group. But why did the previous corpses have been dead for more than ten years, but this corpse has died recently? Luo Xiang frowned and personally examined the corpse, puzzled.
"The deceased had a yellow face and thin muscles, and his body was severely dehydrated...... Looks like you've starved to death! A meteor team member crouched down and looked at it for a while.
Everyone, you and I basically detected the cause of the deceased's death.
"In other words, this deceased and the previous corpses were the same group of people before their deaths, but for some reason, this deceased survived in the maze for more than ten years?" As soon as Luo Xiang's words came out, the eyes of the other team members lit up.
The fact that the deceased must have survived for ten years in this labyrinth of water and food is enough to prove that the deceased must have found some place where food was stored before, and that the deceased's clothes were clean and complete, and his hair and beard were obviously trimmed, indicating that there was not only food but also other daily necessities in this place.
"There must be a place around here that leads to the deceased's residence for ten years, but I don't know if it's the target we need to look for, and besides, we can only guarantee food and water for four days!" Luo Xiang looked up at the dark passage around him, both nervous and a little excited.
"Captain, look at these corpses, are they the ones who came in with Egal in the first place?" Xiao Liu's eyes flickered, and he asked with some hesitation.
If it weren't for the information provided by the Galle tribe, they wouldn't have been able to find it. Who would have thought that there would be an entrance under the pit that they had previously used as a temporary base to rest? They were resting and eating there, and they didn't notice it.
Luo Xiang also had this guess in his heart, and when he heard Xiao Liu say it at this time, he nodded and said, "There is this possibility." Now let's assign it, Xiao Liu, you take five people over there, and the others and I will look for it on the other side. It is important to note that we are only looking for half a day, which means that you can only travel for half a day at most, and if you don't find it, you have to return. Because we don't have enough food and water, we have to keep enough food to make it out alive! ”
Food and water are now the biggest issues they face. Everyone is trained to survive in the wild. But those trainings are very different from here. In the wilderness survival training, you can still find all kinds of food, at least grass root bark, and here, you can't find even a small stone!
A day later, when Luo Xiang returned to the location of the dead body again, he found that Xiao Liu's group of team members had not returned. A bad premonition immediately appeared in my mind.
It would take two more days to get from here to the entrance of the labyrinth, and they only had three days of food left, which means that they would have to return for a day at most. Otherwise, they would have to stay here entirely, becoming part of the corpses they had found before.
Just when Luo Xiang and the others were anxiously waiting, there was also a commotion outside.
Li Mo was very anxious after learning that Luo Xiang and the others were surrounded by the Somaliland army. Immediately convened a meeting with Shishi, Hussein and others to discuss the strategy of coping.
At the current time of the formation of the Somali Defence Force, it is clear that it does not have the strength to compete with the Somaliland political axe army. And at this time, no one will want to fight Somaliland again. Neither domestic nor foreign forces are willing to start another war in Somalia.
Somalia's previous strong reunification has aroused the vigilance of neighboring countries, as well as the dissatisfaction of the United States and other countries; However, this act of unification is an internal affair of Somalia, and other countries can only take corresponding actions to prevent it, and cannot directly draw fingers. However, Somaliland is a little different from Somalia today, the political axe of Somaliland is a political axe elected by the people of Somaliland, although it is not recognized by the world, but it is a 'legitimate' regime. A direct war between Somalia and Somaliland without any justification will inevitably provoke attacks from other countries. A country like the United States will certainly not miss this opportunity to meddle in Somali affairs. Other neighboring countries, such as Ethiopia, will not sit idly by and watch Somalia truly complete reunification and become strong.
Therefore, it is obviously impossible to directly use the Wehrmacht to rescue Luo Xiang and others from the crisis. Even Li Mo knew that the chances of success were slim. Then rescuing Luo Xiang and the others can only become a private action.
After deliberation, the meeting reached a resolution on the matter. He Xiaoqiang, the deputy captain of the Meteor Commando, will lead the 15 members who can be assembled at present to immediately go to Lake Galgale to support Luo Xiang and others, and at a specific time, they can directly conduct special operations against the armored brigade in Somaliland. Including the assassination of commanders of armored brigades at all levels and the destruction of their armored vehicles, as well as logistical reserves, etc. Hussain, in his capacity as Chief of Staff of the Somali Defence Forces, openly reacted to Somaliland's large-scale mobilization of troops.
The next morning, the spokesman of the Somali Ministry of National Defense pointed out in a statement to the outside world: Somalia is deeply disturbed by this large-scale troop movement in Somaliland and believes that Somaliland is maliciously undermining the peace situation in Somalia and creating a tense atmosphere in order to achieve its ulterior motives. At the same time, the Somali military spokesman issued a serious warning to the relevant Somaliland authorities, believing that Somaliland must immediately stop the movement of troops around the demarcation line, otherwise Somalia will take further severe measures to counter the 'military pressure' brought by Somaliland.
This strongly-worded warning or ultimatum from the Somali military has once again brought the clouds of war over the Somali peninsula.
President Youssef of the Somali Republic soon received phone calls from several heads of state, including the current Chairperson of the African Union Commission and President Konaré of the Republic of Mali, expressing concern about the situation in Somalia.
The Ministry of Defense's strong statement on Somaliland was naturally approved by Chief of Staff Hussein after consulting Yusuf and convening the Somali National Defense Council. Although President Yusuf and others did not know the true purpose of Chief of Staff Hussein, the transfer of the 2nd Tank Brigade, which was the most combat-ready Somaliland on the eastern demarcation line, did exist. The Somali political axe will certainly have to respond to this change.
In the afternoon of the same day, in the attention of the outside world, the Somaliland political axe reacted. In a statement to the outside world, a spokesman for Somaliland's foreign affairs said that the transfer of the Somaliland army was only a normal military training and did not mean to target any country. He also refused to answer the question of the 'training purpose' of the mobilization of troops on the grounds that it involved military secrets.
Li Mo had expected the reaction of the outside world, and he also knew that Cassin would not simply withdraw his troops under external pressure.
However, Li Mo's purpose is also to make the eyes of the outside world pay attention to Somaliland, and notice this 'abnormal' army, so that Kasin does not dare to act at will. If Cassin doesn't want the outside world to explore the cause of the army's movements, he must temporarily stop all operations and wait for the limelight to pass before continuing to search for the secret and carry out open hostage attacks on Luo Xiang and others.
"Boss, there's only so much we can do unless we're really desperate to start a war. Moreover, I think Luo Xiang and they are not so easy to be killed by the Somaliland political axe army! Looking at the worry on the boss's face, Wang Ning had to be comforted.
"Well, if I knew this, I shouldn't have let Ah Xiang and them go to that task now!" Li Mo regretted it very much after hearing that Luo Xiang and the others were surrounded; To him, Luo Xiang and the others were obviously more important than Egale's secret. Without that secret, the Star Organization would still be able to thrive. But Luo Xiang and the others can't get it back.
Wang Ning naturally knew the status of Luo Xiang and others in the eyes of the boss, and it could be said that in the organization, even Shi and others could not compare to Luo Xiang and them. Because Luo Xiang and others are the most loyal to Li Mo.
"Boss, the people from Afghanistan are now in Iran and will arrive in Somalia in a week at the latest, do you need to meet them then?" Wang Ning knew the entanglement in the boss's heart, and changed the topic very cleverly.
Only then did Li Mo remember what Wang Ning reported to him yesterday. Omar sent several secret representatives. At that time, Li Mo was anxious about Luo Xiang's affairs and did not pay attention to it. Now that Wang Ning brought it up again, he paid attention to it.
"How's it going over there?" Li Mo asked with a frown. Omar sent someone to Somalia, and he could guess the other party's purpose, but Li Mo still hasn't decided what to do.
Wang Ning's intelligence department also has secret sites in Afghanistan, and although the speed of intelligence transmission is slower, it often receives information from there.
"Not so good. A month ago, the Taliban were forced to abandon the city of Kandahar and retreat again to the southern mountains. The U.S. military is now clearing the city of Kandahar for 'suspected Taliban militants' and is mobilizing a large army to prepare for a carpet sweep in the southern mountains. ”
Li Mo was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, "The U.S. army wants to kill them all?" Are they not afraid of being in the same situation as they were in the Vietnam War? And the experience of the former Soviet Union in Afghanistan, they should not ignore it, right? ”
