Chapter 174: Jungle Interception

Hearing the roar of the helicopter rotors cutting through the air, Mike understood that the helicopter he was looking forward to had arrived on time above the treetops by the jungle river, Mike's cold and stiff black face finally showed a smile, and after waving one hand in the roar of the helicopter rotors, several gun-wielding base guards around him dispersed at a speed, some went to join in urging the researcher to hurry up to the rubber assault boat, and some quickly established a second temporary defense line around to cover Mike's boarding of the helicopter.

In order to quickly complete the task, the searchlight light under the belly of the helicopter was turned on and turned on, and the beam of light more than one person wide swept across the jungle by the river, and the pillar of light crossed several rubber assault boats, and the helicopter pilot quickly found Mike standing on the red soil ground by the river with a metal box in his hand, and the helicopter pilot controlled the helicopter to fly forward for a distance, flying across the river and hovering between the gaps between the canopies of two tall kapok trees, It is nearly sixty meters above the ground, and it can't land down anymore The wind of the rotor has made the crown of the kapok tree shake violently, and if it continues to fall, the helicopter will fall into the encirclement of the trees and lose room for maneuver, and the pilot does not want his helicopter rotor to touch the trunk of the tree.

However, the reality of the situation is relatively complicated, the two helicopter pilots soon saw the base guards with guns on the ground shaking their gestures to signal that the helicopter must immediately rise in height, only to notice that even in the altitude range of 60 meters close to the ground, the strong wind blowing by the helicopter rotors also obviously affected the attempts of several rubber assault boats on the river to try to carry people away, the wind blowing by the rotors was too strong, and continuing to maintain a height of 60 meters would make the river waves and capsize the assault boat, this helicopter was a heavy helicopter of a double pilot, Not a light helicopter similar to a bird.

The two pilots immediately controlled the helicopter to leave the sky above the kapok tree, flew diagonally above the airspace, and then hovered at a height of more than 100 meters, waiting for the assault boat on the river to carry people away, and then hovered in the gap between the canopies of the two kapok trees.

"Made, the backup plan is so bad, you actually use this old Russian large helicopter!"

Seeing that the helicopter that was already preparing to start releasing the rope ladder was afraid of the male and female researchers on the assault boat, not only did not open the cabin door on one side to release the rope ladder, but instead climbed to a high place and hovered at a high speed, Mike blurted out in English and scolded the staff of the Parker Laboratory headquarters who formulated the retreat plan for being unreliable, in his opinion, just get a bird, as for the base guards around him to take the assault boat, it is really tense and give up all of them, as long as he leaves by himself.

Of course, this is the cunning Mike thinks so in private, and the Parker Lab headquarters certainly does not agree with Mike's idea, and it is good to save human resource costs to take away one more researcher and base guard.

"Quick, get on the assault boat, whoever doesn't go up will feed the mermaids!"

"Bastard, my mobile data drive fell in the water, what should I do?"

"Daisy, I can't take care of it, no one will be stupid enough to go down to the river to fish, leave first"

"Made, all shut up, sit down, don't move, I don't want the assault boat to capsize and feed the fish!"

Mike was anxious to leave the damn jungle immediately, gesticulating to the base guards with guns by the river and at the end of the assault boat, and quickly got the male and female researchers who were still standing by the river into the assault boat, so that the base guards were of course not as "polite" as they were at the beginning, and they showed some fierceness, and roared in a low voice and pointed their guns at these laboratory researchers who were already in a state of panic, and the formation of the assault boat became a little chaotic, and the researchers and the base guards began to clash, Both sides shouted loudly and loudly.

Fortunately, after some confusion, all the researchers finally got on the rubber assault boat, which in addition to a base guard with the engine at the stern of the boat, also had a separate base guard with guns, which played the dual role of monitoring and protecting the male and female researchers.

In the splashing of water, the roar of the engine, several fully loaded assault boats did not leave the river quickly, and went down the river in the dark, and there were necessary lamps and lanterns on the assault boats to provide lighting, but now the situation was tense, in order not to expose themselves, they could only use the mine lighting worn on the head of the base guards, of course, the speed could not be too fast, once it capsized, it could only feed the mermaids.

Seeing that a few assault boats finally left, the few base guards left by the river who did not go gathered around Mike at a speed and held guns on guard, a base guard shook his hands again to signal that the helicopter that had been hovering in the air could descend and hover, in the eyes of the base guards, the helicopter cabin was quite large, and there was no problem at all with everyone leaving.

With the roar of its rotors turning, the helicopter arrived as scheduled, and under the huge wind pressure and dazzling searchlight columns, Mike and the base guards' clothes were lifted again.

Mike squinted and saw a warning red light under the belly of the plane, the door of the helicopter hovering in the gap between the canopies of two kapok trees was opened, and a machine gunner in a black training uniform, wearing a safety helmet and a safety rope on his goggle belt, A 12.7 mm heavy machine gun mount was pushed along a rail fixed to the cabin floor to the door of the engine room, and the machine gunner straddled a special chair behind the gun mount, his feet in black training boots were already dangling, and the long metal bullet chain on the side of the heavy machine gun body was particularly eye-catching under the reflection of the light.

After the machine gunner got it, he gestured, the hatch on the other side of the cabin opened at speed, two people who were also wearing safety ropes around their waists, wearing black training uniforms, helmets and goggles, and their feet wearing training boots stood on the floor next to the cabin door, and the speed of the cooperation threw down a rope ladder dozens of meters long, the rope ladder did not flutter with the wind as imagined, but only slightly curved arc in the wind, and hung down from the cabin door almost straight, it can be seen that the material used in this rope ladder is not light, otherwise there is no need for two people to operate together.

However, the length of the rope ladder was still not long enough, and Mike and the base guards staying by the river could not reach it even if they took a human ladder, and after seeing the gestures of two people in black training uniforms staying at the door of the cabin, the base guards quickly understood that this was a request to temporarily fix the rope ladder to the trunk of the tree with a rope or something else, and all the people on the ground climbed the trunk and boarded the helicopter along the fixed rope ladder.

After Mike understood it, he secretly scolded the two helicopter pilots for being stupid, but later he still admired the boldness of the two pilots, even if the heavy helicopter above his head was temporarily tied up because of the rope ladder, even if there was any accident, with the greater power of the helicopter engine, it was too late to break free of the rope ladder in an instant or simply throw away the rope ladder.

Soon, several sturdy base guards climbed up the trunk of a tall kapok tree close to the rope ladder, and successfully bound the end of the rope ladder with the rope they carried, and three base guards climbed up to the helicopter cabin along the rope ladder at speed, and after tying the tactical belt around their waists and fastening the safety rope buckle on the bulkhead of the cabin at the other end, they immediately took off the AK74 assault rifle from their shoulders and lay on the side of the cabin door to watch the jungle guard. With only one 12.7mm heavy machine gun on board, it's fitting to have three AK74 assault rifles to bolster the firepower.

Mike, as the boss of the entire biochemical laboratory base, of course he will not work hard to climb the tree himself, and several base guards waiting on the trunk of the tree hang down a nylon rope with a belt and a lock, after Mike quickly tied the belt to his waist, several strong base guards directly retracted the nylon rope and forced the trunk of the kapok tree, which was originally used to prevent Mike from playing an insurance role when climbing the rickety rope ladder, Now seeing that the rope ladder had been fixed to the precise cooperation of the two pilots, there was only a slight shaking, and the base guard immediately changed its purpose.

Resting on the trunk of the tree, Mike leaned against the larger branch next to him, and quickly pulled out a pair of handcuffs from his pants that reflected the silvery-white light in the light, one end cuffed to the wrist and the other handcuffed to the curved handle of the small alloy suitcase, to make sure that this extremely important suitcase would not accidentally fall off as he climbed the rope ladder to board the helicopter.

Mike then carried the suitcase with one hand, and began to climb up the rope ladder that had been temporarily fixed with one leg with one hand and legs with each other, the rope ladder was not wide, and Mike didn't want the alloy box in his hand to fake his hands, so he had to climb up the rope ladder in such an awkward way.

As the boss in charge of a laboratory base, Mike's skills are still quite athletic, although the speed is not as fast as the base guard, but it is just over a minute Mike has been in the middle of the rope ladder, the speed has become slow or even stopped, it seems that Mike has become extremely cautious, the middle position of the rope ladder because of the double impact of the wind blowing in the jungle and Mike's weight, the shaking is much more obvious than at first, Mike doesn't want to fall down without control, and he will be seriously injured if he doesn't fall to death at a height of tens of meters, There also seemed to be a problem with the suitcase in his hand, and Mike had to stop climbing up, although he could clearly see the helicopter's cabin door when he looked up less than thirty meters.

"Damn, something is wrong at this time!"

Mike clamped the rope ladder between his legs, held the rope of the rope ladder with one hand, and lifted the arm carrying the suitcase up, when he saw clearly that the miniature fluorescent display strip on the side of the suitcase was constantly flashing orange warning light, no longer dark green fluorescence, Mike tightened his whole body, and scolded angrily.

Mike knows that a series of actions from leaving the laboratory base to the present, so that the crystals contained in the box have been significantly shocked, and they are sensed by the sensitive sensor of the box, and the fluorescent display bar cannot be upgraded from the warning orange color to bright red, otherwise it will be all over, the energy crystals in the box will explode violently in an instant, and the excess energy released can bulldoze a large jungle, as for the person at the origin of the core of the explosion, he is already in the category of being vaporized, and there will be no scum left!

Mike knew that he couldn't take any more risks, and he had to stay steady, staying on a rope ladder dozens of meters high and not moving, like a gecko leaning against the corner of a wall.

Mike's appearance annoyed the two pilots on the helicopter, how long will this be delayed? Since it was an emergency evacuation, it means that the jungle is dangerous, and if there are hostile elements attacking the helicopter, it will be a big deal.

Out of the need for secrecy, the pilot and the crew took over the task of assisting Mike to evacuate the personnel from the jungle as much as possible, and even Mike and many researchers did not know what they were doing, and the pilots and crew members on the plane were scolding their mothers in their hearts but did not say it, after all, they endured it for the sake of being paid very well.

More than ten seconds later, the fluorescent display bar on the suitcase in Mike's hand turned from orange to dark green, indicating that the danger had passed for the time being, and the energy crystal would not explode, Mike no longer hesitated to continue to climb up the rope ladder, but the speed was much slower than just now.

"Whew!"

"Whew!"

"Ahh

Just as Mike was about to climb a few meters from the helicopter door, the terrifying roar of a jungle leopard rang out in several places in the jungle, along with the terrible howl of a person before he died.

Mike's facial muscles twitched involuntarily, and he stopped on the rope ladder to look back at the ground, gesturing with one free hand, signaling to the base guards who did not go up the rope ladder to defend.

When he was dying, he could only cry out miserably about the guard posts set up on the periphery, which were proper base guards, and they were killed without hearing the gunshots, which showed that the enemy was extremely fast and ruthless, and his methods should not be underestimated.

Except for the two base guards who stayed on the trunk, the rest of the people went down the tree to meet with other base guards who were on guard on the ground, and then disappeared into the jungle after the speed was allocated, and passive defense was not the style of these base guards.

"Dada"

"Dada!"

Soon there was a firefight in the jungle, and Mike's swarthy face twisted, and he kept his speed up, and victory was in sight, and he was already very close to the hatch

"Poof!"

The machine gunner sitting on the chair behind the heavy machine gun mount at the door of the cabin on one side did not come back to his senses before he was torn apart by a large-caliber armor-piercing bullet from one side of the neck along with part of the shoulder muscles, and the headless corpse pounced on the heavy machine gun in vain.

"Damn, anti-materiel heavy sniper rifles, can't stay here, go now!"

One of the pilots piloting the helicopter had a splash of hot blood on the side of his neck, and when he looked back, his face changed, and he yelled in English
