Chapter 7: The Heavenly Fire Descends

Soon, Hugh received a response from Melinda: "Continue to find out the enemy's movements, Andrew stays where he is, and the special services will deal with the aftermath." ”

Hugh climbed to the top of the hill, with a view of the surrounding jungle and discovered a hollow in the surface of the holographic imagery of the ground, the construction site of the American developer's massive themed resort center.

It was brightly lit and lit up the sky, and the construction site was full of building materials such as steel bars, cement, sand and gravel; Excavators, bulldozers, cranes and other construction machinery are busy in an orderly manner; Several temporary prefabricated warehouses and sheds have been erected on the ground, and several engineers outside the warehouse are holding drawings and gesturing left and right.

Hugh put on his military binoculars, prostrated himself, and motioned for gunpowder and warheads to do the same, and they accepted the order without a sound.

Hugh adjusted the focus of the telescope, and soon found something unusual in it: soldiers in black uniforms, armed with U.S. military M4A1 assault rifles, patrolling around the construction site; A gable next to the construction machinery rushing back and forth was piled with gravel, which seemed to have been blasted; The excavator was loaded with some kind of huge ore, with colorful crystals on it, which shimmered dazzlingly under the refraction of the light.

Hugh switched into a thermal imager and scanned the construction site, only to see several orange humanoid images in view, in the dark, the thermal imager can effectively display all heat source objects, including those hidden behind cover, and clearly identify enemy targets by shape.

"19, 27, 45, a total of 73 people, including about 27 armed men, are patrolling around." Hugh counted.

Hugh took off his watch, took a picture of the scene in front of him, and sent it to Melinda: "The other party has already done it, the tungsten ore has been mined, and there are American military personnel on the construction site." ”

"The organization has been informed, please wait for instructions." Melinda replied.

Hugh looked up at the night sky, wondering how these building materials, the machine appeared in the heart of the forest, and the roaring night sky in the distance brought the answer, a Osprey twin-propeller transport plane, carrying an excavator, flying from far and near.

When it flew over the construction site, the suspension rope slowly lowered, and the excavator was placed smoothly on the ground, and a staff member wearing a hard hat took off the hook and made a rotating gesture in the sky, and the osprey turned sideways and walked away.

"The other side has an Osprey transport aircraft, and it is recommended to prioritize the safety of the ore." Hugh nervously informed Melinda.

After a while, Hugh received a reply: "Please transmit the exact coordinates of the construction site, it is expected that in 10 minutes, the military's Tiger Shark 2 medium-range ballistic missile will hit the coordinates, with a maximum explosion radius of 200 meters, please find a safe place to take refuge, and then you will carry out a clean-up mission, clear the enemy militants, leave no survivors, and control the surviving construction workers, and the military will arrive later." ”

A cold sweat broke out on Hugh's forehead, and he was deeply impressed by the efficiency of the organization's handling of the incident. He then sent the coordinates of the construction site to Melinda, lit a cigarette, and spat a cloud of smoke into the air, and the fog disappeared into the dark night sky, leaving only waiting.

At the same time, in a military underground missile silo 700 kilometers away, the commander was giving an ignition order to the soldier sitting next to the missile data dashboard: "Ready: 3, 2, 1, launch!" ”。 The soldier decisively pressed the red missile launch button.

I saw that on the vast horizon, a 14-meter-long Tiger Shark-2 ballistic missile, painted with army green paint and the Culleman army logo, lifted off from the silo with a uniform speed, and at a distance of 70 meters from the ground, the body of the missile tilted slightly to the right, and then suddenly accelerated, dragging a long tongue of fire with its tail, cutting through the silent night sky, flying into the depths of the clouds, and roaring towards the target.

When the missile entered Hugh's field of vision, the distance between it and the target was already close at hand, accompanied by a huge roar, the flames and shock waves brought by the explosion quickly radiated to all sides, the construction site was as bright as day, and fell into the sea of fire, the scene was a mess, the construction machinery was crooked, not in its original shape, and the building materials were scattered around Several people who ran out of the edge of the sea of fire, covered with fire, fell to the ground with a wail. The people at the center of the explosion were not so lucky, they didn't have time to react, and almost instantly, they died in Huangquan.

A few seconds later, a small mushroom cloud rose.

Hugh stood up, put his equipment in order, took gunpowder and bullets, went down the hill with his gun, and ran towards the construction site.

As he approached the construction site, Hugh made a detour to the nearby woodland, and under the cover of the jungle, he searched for the surviving targets with binoculars.

"The preferred tactic is to assassinate the remaining militants on the periphery with crossbow guns first, and then clear the site after entering the construction site." Hugh pondered.

Hugh gestured to the two Prott dogs to retreat into the woodland bushes and stay put, not wanting to let stray bullets hit them in the course of an exchange of fire with the enemy.

Hugh hunched over, holding a crossbow with a wound arrow, stared at a surviving militant from a distance, he was facing Hugh at the back of the jungle, saying something loudly to his mobile phone, Hugh pointed the crossbow at his neck, pulled the trigger, and flicked his fingers, only to see his throat pierced by a crossbow arrow, the major artery in the neck was shot, and the blood like a fountain shot out, he tried to turn around and see the sneak attacker behind him, and before his body could turn around, he fell heavily to the ground.

"The first." Hugh counted in his heart, and then continued to walk forward.

A second soldier appeared in the field of vision, sitting on the ground, leaning against the tires of a scrapped crane, bandaging his wounds, Hugh took off a crossbow bolt dipped in frog poison, aimed at the target's chest, and shot the arrow, at this time, a nearby fuel barrel exploded in the course of the crossbow arrow's flight, and the scorching air wave affected its trajectory, only to see a miserable cry from the opposite side, the arrow hit his left shoulder blade, almost nailing him to the crane tire, he angrily raised the automatic rifle beside him, A burst of fire in the direction of the incoming arrow struck the trunk of the tree beside Hugh, sending a crisp echo as Hugh lay down and dodged the attack. After a few seconds, the soldier's hands became limp, the weapon fell off his hands, and his vision began to blur, accompanied by intermittent convulsions, dilated pupils, and a whimper from the onset of toxicity.

But trouble also followed, the direction of the soldier's shooting, revealing Hugh's hiding place, several enemy soldiers armed with guns, hearing the news, rushed to each other, exchanged gestures and glances with each other, and outflanked Hugh's direction.

Outnumbered, Hugh decided to take advantage of the jungle and thermal imagers to lure the enemy deeper and break them one by one.

Hugh prostrate on the ground, looking through the gap between the leaves of the low herbaceous plant in front of him, looking ahead, only to see five enemies, in order to prevent the killing of explosive weapons, keeping a safe distance from each other, forming a fan-shaped encirclement, carefully moving slowly towards Hugh's direction.

Hugh took off the flashbang on his waist, calculated the distance between the enemy and me through the thermal imager, and then pulled off the buckle of the flashbang, and threw it in front of three of the enemies, "bang", a dazzling white light flashed in front of his eyes, the enemy instantly lost his eyesight, and was in a daze at a loss, Hugh took this opportunity, half-squatted up, raised the shotgun, and fired four shots in a row in the direction of the enemy, one was shot in the leg and fell backwards, one shot in the head, and the weapon in one hand was shot by the shot.

As soon as the shotgun fire rang out, Hugh quickly got up, took two drawn grenades, threw them at the position of the three men, and then ran at a speed of 100 meters to a thick Amazon sandalwood tree 10 meters behind him, seeking cover.

Seconds later, with a burst of fire and flying dust, the three targets were annihilated. The remaining enemy raised the rifles in their hands and approached the trunk of the tree in front of him, and fired fiercely, accompanied by a burst of gunsmoke, and the rain of bullets smashed the grass and trees in front of the Amazon sandalwood, the blades burst out, and the trunk was full of bullet holes.

A bullet pierced the edge of the tree trunk and sliced Hugh's shoulder, blood sliding down his arm to his fingertips and splashing onto the grass.

Soon, the bullets in their magazines ran out, and there was a sound of firing pins hitting the chamber of the gun, Hugh turned back and counterattacked, and a scattered shot hit one of the soldiers in the chest at close range, and the huge impact sent him flying backwards, and he fell to the ground.

Another enemy panicked and replaced the magazine, only to see a black shadow rush towards his neck, biting down on gunpowder, and the other man struggled desperately in the air with both hands, trying to attack the head of gunpowder.

Hugh held back the pain, pulled out the M93R from his waist, walked forward quickly, aimed at his knees, one shot to the left and right, he fell to his knees, the gunpowder loosened, Hugh took the opportunity to shoot him in the head, "Seventh." Hugh breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his weapons, and headed for the construction site.

With the fire blazing everywhere and the billowing smoke still not clearing, Hugh clenched his shotgun and prepared for all kinds of potential crises.

Under a collapsed warehouse, two construction workers were crushed underneath, heavy steel plates hit their legs, Hugh's gun pointed at them, and the two suddenly showed frightened eyes. "Someone will save you." With that, continue to investigate.

Two burnt excavators stood in front of Hugh, one of which had a charred corpse in the cab, and fell into the shattered glass on the side of the cab. The charred fingers were still resting on the joystick.

Hugh bypassed the excavator, and Hugh breathed a sigh of relief when several huge pieces of tungsten ore on the ground were still intact after the explosion.

Several staggering figures holding each other moved to Hugh's right, and Hugh turned on the triple shot of the M93R pistol and fired several shots at the ground in front of them. Several people looked back, and one of them said, "Don't kill us, we were forced." The others nodded in unison.

Hugh pointed his gun at the location of the collapsed warehouse behind him, and motioned for them to come over: "Go and rescue your colleagues." ”

As soon as the words fell, with the roar of propellers in the distance, three Kuleman military helicopter gunships appeared in the night sky. A few bright searchlights shone towards the construction site, and more than a dozen military soldiers descended to the ground in an orderly manner along the zipline, scattered, and guarded the surroundings with guns.
