Chapter 554: Preparation for the Worst
Thompson looked at his watch, then at the screen, and then he said to Larry: "The fire stealer is dead, he won't run anymore, Mr. Larry, it's time to get his body back, before the zombies and monsters arrive and eat him, I think this is a military operation, and I won't interfere in any military operation, that's not what I'm good at, leave it to you." ”
Larry exhaled lightly, he beckoned, and immediately said, "Whichever unit is closest to the refinery, it doesn't matter." ”
Murphy said coldly: "Artillery, but they are useless now, in addition, it is a company sixteen kilometers away from the grain and oil factory, a reconnaissance company of the Marine Corps, in addition, there is a green beret near the Malakal airport on standby, they are responsible for monitoring, twelve kilometers away from the refinery, although there are only four people, but the speed of action is faster, if you only want to snatch the body of the fire thief, you can order the green beret team to rush as soon as possible." ”
Larry looked at Murphy, but didn't speak, but the commander of the drone unit whispered: "Sir, I don't know, also, we only have direct contact with artillery, and as for the infantry, uh, after the interference in the dry band, we can't contact them." ”
Larry subconsciously touched his nose, and then he said in a deep voice, "Inform the prowler, suspend electronic interference." ”
Murphy sneered on the side, "Is this your idea?" Let the ram's communication be restored, and then let him move his troops faster? Larry, when will you come to terms with the reality that you, and your men, are showing your incompetence more clearly than small-scale special operations. ”
"Murphy...... I've never found your mouth more disgusting than your bald head before. ”
After speaking, Larry waved his hand and said, "Take him away, lock him up, watch him, don't let him out of your sight, don't let him come into contact with anyone, if anyone forcibly touches him, shoot him." ”
The two guards began to push Murphy away, and Larry suddenly said, "Don't go too far, he'll be useful soon." ”
Murphy was finally taken away, and Larry let out a long exhale, "Please inform the prowlers and ask them to pause the interference, I order the ground troops to go to the refinery immediately and bring back the bodies of the fire thieves." ”
Thompson frowned, "I have a question, why don't you use a helicopter to bring back the corpse of the fire thief?" ”
Larry spread his hands and said: "We only have one helicopter, and we have to fly back to Jibuti, and where to send the helicopter to the grain and oil factory, anything may happen, if there is a problem with the plane, how can we quickly return to Jibuti with the body of the fire thief?" ”
Thompson thought for a moment and said, "Are you worried that something will happen to our helicopter?" Why? Does the enemy have the ability to shoot down? Do they have the ability? ”
Larry nodded and said, "Yes, there are so many ways to shoot down a Black Hawk helicopter, portable anti-aircraft missiles, bazookas, anti-aircraft guns, machine guns, or ground cover and support troops, I don't really want to take that risk." ”
Thompson shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interfere with your decision, but I think since the corpses of the fire thieves are related to the success or failure of our operation, then it is acceptable to take some risks, because the fire and noise of the refinery are enough to lure the zombies of the whole city over, and the zombies are not afraid of fire, this is the genetic imprint they left as humans, so, the zombies will arrive soon." ”
Larry thought for a moment and said, "If we let the helicopter pass, it won't take much less time, because we are sixty kilometers away from the refinery, and if the troops in front are only twelve kilometers away from the refinery, they will drive there, and they will be there in all these times we are arguing." ”
Thompson said apologetically: "I really don't want to question your decision, but Mr. Larry, the airport is outside the city, and the oil refinery is inside the city, and now that the zombies have passed, do you really think that the four of them can break through the zombie encirclement and take the corpses away?" My concern is that they're going to be food for the zombies before they even get to the refinery, and helicopters, you know. ”
Larry hesitated for a moment, then he suddenly said loudly, "Keep the electronic jamming going, let the seals take the helicopter to the refinery, go and bring back the corpses of the fire thieves, right now!" ”
"Yes, sir!"
The one who had not come in at all outside the command vehicle took the order, and then he quickly left, and then he quickly shouted: "Helicopter ready to take off, Cyrus, Cyrus!" You go and bring the four teams of seals over at once, take a helicopter to complete a mission, hurry, hurry! ”
If you want to keep the electronic interference going, then Larry's order must be conveyed by someone personally, because not all radios can access the data link and continue to talk under their own interference.
Larry and Thompson looked at their watches in unison, and then Larry whispered: "If our ground troops can't get in, then the other side can't get in either, but we have helicopters, and they don't, so ...... All you need to do is race against zombies. ”
"Obviously, zombies are faster, but I don't think zombies can quickly find a charred corpse, so we have a better chance."
Looking at the confident Thompson, Larry sighed and said, "Thompson, have you ever seen a coke that can still run?" ”
"Uh, well, the fire thief is not coke, he just turned into a corpse, but it's just a corpse, I don't think, well, someone under the ram can get through the zombies and run into the refinery just to get a corpse, even if they realize the importance of that corpse, but obviously we're faster, aren't we?"
"Yes."
Larry agreed with Thompson, but after thinking about it, he felt that if things had gone according to his vision, the Malakal region would not have been in danger of collapse in a state of complete collapse.
So it's still too underestimating the Ram?
Thinking of this, Larry suddenly said, "No, we still have to send ground troops." ”
"The squad that sent the Marines and the Green Berets?"
Larry sighed lightly and said, "No, it's to make a general offensive move for all the troops on the front line, so that they are ready to deal with a large-scale attack by the enemy." ”
Thompson was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you think the Ram would send his army to attack Malakal just for a corpse?" Know that corpses are important to us, but not so important to them, but risk total annihilation to retrieve them? Do you think it's possible? ”
Larry replied honestly, "If it were someone else, I don't think it's possible, but Ram, I can't see through him, so I want to prepare for the worst." ”
