Chapter 226: Eyes Across the Mountain (I)
Like two earth dragons winding out of the cave, two armed search teams led by Klinder rushed out of the unfinished transfer base in six vehicles of different types to kick up dust and gallop along the only road.
Sitting on the first all-terrain vehicle at the head, Clinde, who was wearing a full dust suit, reached out to wipe the dust that quickly accumulated on the dust helmet mask, and said as low as he could: "Test...... Test...... Can you hear my voice? ”
The communicator built into the dust helmet immediately came with an unusually clear feedback voice: "Reptile received!" ”
"Bighorn deer received!"
"Beekeeper received!"
"Grumpy received!"
"Ex-wife receives ......."
Glancing back at the five different models of cars following behind him, Clinder sighed helplessly: "Okay...... God knows why you're giving such weird names - I'm a butterfly! Don't be left behind, keep moving! After leaving the visual distance of the transfer base, the beekeepers begin to release the colony while listening for radio signals! ”
In a crisp response, six vehicles of different models sped along the road, but after just ten minutes, there was no shadow of the transfer base within visual distance. Without waiting for Klinder to give another order, the roof of a modified and reinforced medium-sized van in the convoy was opened. One after another, light quadcopter reconnaissance drones swayed out of the vehicles one after another, and flew separately towards the wasteland on both sides of the convoy, expanding the reconnaissance distance of the convoy to a range of four or five kilometers on both sides of the road.
Keeping an eye on the footage fed back from the reconnaissance drone, the two mercenaries sitting in the medium-sized van and operating the drone separately identified the occasional suspicious image on the image, and kept feeding the situation back to Clinder's ears: "There are some signs of human activity on the ridge on the left side of the road........ Well, traces from a long time ago, it should have been left by hunters. ”
"There are traces of a bonfire....... There is no value, the same is a trace of a long time ago....... No valid radio communication signal was heard, only murmurs...... All sorts of screaming noises that sound like those of a third-rate Caribbean brothel! ”
Listening to the mercenaries operating the drones constantly feeding back the information they had discovered, Clint sighed impatiently: "Give me some real material!" It's not a camping trip, don't be like a Girl Scout who screams all day at the sight of a beetle! ”
The sound of laughter suddenly came out of the communicator: "Okay...... You're the boss, you're in charge! It's only half an hour's drive from the transshipment base, so how can you get the stuff you want to see? Drive another hour, and maybe we'll be able to get something out of it! I sent two drones along the road and went first......"
As soon as the words fell, two reconnaissance drones had already skimmed over the all-terrain vehicle that Klinder was riding, and began to search along the road. Seeing the deep ruts on the road being run over by the passing heavy trucks, a feeling of unease suddenly appeared in Klinde's mind!
Of all the battles that Clinder has ever experienced, the IED bomb is undoubtedly the deepest nightmare. Seemingly unremarkable ruts are often buried with pressurized mines converted from discarded rocket launchers. Telephone remote-controlled bombs repurposed from large-caliber artillery shells lurk in the inconspicuous garbage heaps or animal carcasses on the roadside. The power of the explosion is so great that even a heavy armored vehicle can be blown up in the air!
On several occasions, Clint watched as his companions were blown apart. Scattered flesh and blood even splashed into Clinder's mouth!
Since armored vehicles can't protect against these powerful IED bombs, the all-terrain vehicle I am riding in is almost a mobile coffin made of cardboard boxes!
Coughing a few times, Clint tried to make his voice sound without too much uneasiness: "Temper tantrum! Come to the front, and you'll open the way! ”
Following Klinder's orders, a heavy Volvo truck immediately overtook and rushed to the front of all the vehicles. With the beep of a lightweight motor, two 15-metre-long weighted steel beams extend from the sturdy body towards the front of the car. A winch mounted on the front of the steel beam spun so fast that a dozen thick chains attached to the shaft of the winch beat the ground frantically, looking like a furious executioner, mercilessly whipping the poor prisoner.
Signaling the driver to slow down, Clinder looked at the heavy truck that was leading the way hundreds of meters in front of him, and finally felt a little relieved.
The use of chains to detonate possible bombs or mines by striking the ground was already widely used during the Second World War. Although the Volvo truck is certainly not as strong as the minesweeper tank of the year, it is equipped with several layers of bulletproof steel plates, which can more or less resist the scattered shrapnel. As long as you don't encounter those IED bombs set up for heavy vehicles, how can Volvo heavy trucks that go out to clear mines last a few rounds, right?
Roughly calculating the speed at which the Volvo truck was moving forward, Klinder sighed slightly, and gave the order again: "The beekeeper and ex-wife follow me!" Bighorn deer, reptiles, expand the field search area, especially those places on both sides of the road where people can be hidden, I want you to run them all over with tires! Don't leave anything wrong, our boss doesn't have a good temper, you should know that! Temper tantrums, accelerate! We don't have much time to waste! ”
At Clinder's order, a heavy truck and another all-terrain vehicle equipped with obstacle breakers immediately separated from the convoy and headed towards areas on both sides of the road that had been detected by drones and could harbor ambush personnel. And the heavy Volvo truck in front of Klinder also significantly sped up. More than a dozen chains frantically whipped the ground, and the already dusty road was dusty, like a small sandstorm, moving along the winding road.
Almost at the same time as Clinder's order, on a hillside about five kilometers from the road, a black gunman lying on his back, covered in sand and dirt, with only two eyes exposed, gently took a breath from the hose hanging from his mouth, and pinched down a signal generator that had been grasped in his left hand. And a few seconds after the black gunman pinched the signal generator, hidden behind a ridge two kilometers away from the black man, under the bushes where there was no road at all, a black man who also hid his whole body under the sand felt the sudden beep in the headphones, and pressed the signal generator in his hand with the same force.
Just like a traditional beacon uses fireworks to transmit messages, but just a few minutes later, Harbara, who was in a surveillance car, heard a beep from the headphones. Turning his head to look at Tang Guoming, who was standing outside the car, Harbara whispered excitedly: "Boss, they are out!" ”
Obviously, he had expected the move of sending a reconnaissance team to the transfer base, Tang Guoming's face did not move, but his eyes looked in the direction of the construction site: "We are testing, and they are also testing!" It's all about pretending to be confused, and it's up to you to see whose tricks you can play well......"
After hesitating for a moment, Halbara spoke again and said to Tang Guoming: "Boss, do you want to notify the construction site, there may be a ......?"
Without waiting for Halbara to finish speaking, Tang Guoming had already shook his head firmly: "Don't!" The best performance is that even the actors don't know they're performing! ”
