Chapter 10 Base Gathering

Hugh turned on the European-style crystal chandelier in the living room and placed the key on top of the titanium modular shoe cabinet next to the Brazilian iron on the porch.

Katyusha took off her high heels, put on a pair of pink open-ended slippers, walked into the living room, sat on the sofa, and looked around the room: "It's as neat and clean as when I left, it's been more than half a month, and it's still so good, I really surprise me." ”

Hugh took a bottle of chilled apple champagne from the fridge and poured it into two goblets, then placed it in a double-walled stainless steel cask filled with ice cubes to keep it cool. handed Katyusha a cup: "It's over, and under your edification, it has been slowly assimilated." ”

Hugh looked at Katyusha, her moist lip gloss looked particularly moving under the illumination of the crystal lamp.

Katyusha lowered the champagne to the tip of her nose, felt its aroma, the puffing water pulsing at the rim, and took a small sip.

Katyusha moved the cushion beside her, and Hugh sat down.

Katyusha's gaze rested on Hugh's right shoulder, and there was a small strip-like depression under her clothes, and she stroked it with her fingers: "Your shoulder is injured, it must be painful." ”

"Then please take care of it," Hugh turned sideways to Katyusha, brushing her blonde hair.

"I know." Katyusha took a small cube of ice from the ice bucket, held it in her mouth, slowly approached Hugh's face, and sent it into Hugh's mouth, and they kissed affectionately. The ice gradually melts in this hot and humid temperature.

Hugh picked up Katyusha and went to the upstairs living room, pushed open the door and lowered her, taking off her blouse, revealing her solid muscles.

Katyusha took off her dress, took off her coffee-colored stockings, removed the hair pin from her head, and threw it at the light switch in the living room, which was pitch black, and Hugh groped Katyusha's body and fell to the white French carved bed next to her......

The next morning, the sunlight outside the house, through the gap between two large, Mediterranean-style floor-to-ceiling curtains, squeezed into the living room and shone on Hugh's face, who gradually woke up and reached for the other side of the bed, where Katyusha was gone.

Hugh walked downstairs to see two steaming portions of smoked bacon and a double yellow omelette served in four leafy brown-edged green-edged plates, along with two cups of freshly squeezed orange juice.

Katyusha was by the kitchen sink, cleaning a handful of freshly picked lemon balm, "Breakfast is still a European garden salad, and it's done"

"Good work!" Hugh said affectionately, stepped forward, hugged her from behind, and put his hands in front of her lower abdomen.

"Hurry up and scrub it, I just received an order from the organization to rush over at ten o'clock." Katyusha said coquettishly.

"Yes", Hugh Li stood upright, gave a military salute, and turned to walk to the bathroom.

After eating, the two changed into a set of black tight-fitting combat uniforms, put on black military gloves, and ice-blue polarizers, went to the garage, activated the Dodge Viper, drove into the highway, and galloped towards the organization base 70 kilometers away.

It was a fine sunny day, the clear blue sky floated with wavy clouds, with the air flow moving slowly, the road visibility was high, with the low roar of the engine, Hugh gradually increased the throttle, the Dodge Viper sped at 285 kilometers per hour, the green trees on both sides of the highway and the overtaken vehicles, flashing backwards like shadows.

Twenty minutes later, the Dodge Viper stopped at the edge of a farm's woodland, Hugh and Katyusha got out of the car and closed the door, and several soldiers in green camouflage uniforms appeared from the forest, put a camouflage car cover over the Dodge Viper, and disappeared silently into the jungle.

This is the ground where the base is located, disguised as a farm, and the base buildings are located at a depth of 180 meters below the farm ground, and even the latest giant ground-penetrating bomb of the US military cannot do anything about it.

The base extends 22 floors downwards and consists of an intelligence center, a computer room, a training center, a software research and development center, a dining hall, an agent dormitory, an interrogation room, a single cell, a medical room, an armory, and a large number of exhaust vents that extend to various hidden corners of the woodland to keep the air circulating in the base.

Soldiers in camouflage uniforms are hidden in the woodland on the outskirts of the farm, responsible for patrolling and fire support on the ground of the base. Even the farmers who milk cows and grow fruits and vegetables on the farms are disguised by agents, with pocket pistols and knives strapped to their trouser legs, ready to kill the intruder.

Hugh and Katyusha walked to an abandoned storeroom, opened the weather-beaten wooden door, and with a "squeak", they entered it and came to a tall stack of haystacks, Hugh pressed his watch, activated the personnel identification system, and saw a manipulator with a retina recognition device stretching out of the haystack, moving to Hugh's eyes, and the recognition passed, an automatic door disguised as a haystack on the surface crossed in front of them, and a vertical elevator that could accommodate thirty people at the same time appeared in front of the two of them.

Hugh looked at the haystacks: "I always wonder what if this place catches fire"?

Katyusha stepped forward, pulled out a piece of hay, twisted it in the palm of her hand, and the hay turned into powder and sprinkled on the ground: "Produced by Vulcan, made of nanomaterials, flame retardant and high temperature resistant, mass-produced by industrial-grade 3D printers."

Hugh looked at the vivid imitation and shrugged his shoulders: "Enough to confuse the real thing."

They stepped inside and activated the button that led to the 7th basement floor, where the Intelligence Center was located.

As the elevator descended rapidly, reaching the target floor, an empty, busy hall presented Hugh and Katyusha: one wall was occupied by a variety of large and small displays, which displayed charts and data in real time on the operation status of base equipment, material inventory, agent global distribution network map, geographic information, mission progress, field personnel's vital signs, and so on.

A large number of staff dressed in organizational service uniforms, holding tablets or paper documents, shuttled through the various working compartments of the hall, in the corridors, the sound of telephones, and communication kept ringing in the ears.

Hugh and Katyusha walked straight to a separate office against the wall, only to see the electronic display by the glass door flashing: "I'm waiting for you in the conference room, please come here to find me." ”

The two pushed open the door of the conference room, only to see a silver-haired old man - Mason, the deputy director of the intelligence center, all the mission plans were formulated by him, only to see him holding a whip, standing next to a three-meter-long, two-meter-wide holographic image of the island suspended in the air. The six agents in front of him were watching the video.

"It's just you," the old man looked at his watch, "and I'm still three minutes late." ”

Hugh and Katyusha bowed slightly forward to apologize, and then came to the video.

"The personnel have arrived, now I will introduce the details of this mission, and clarify the battle plan, briefly introduce the elites present, some of you may know each other, some are meeting for the first time, I hope you can give full play to your strengths, work together, and successfully complete this mission." Mason said straight to the point, then turned to the hologram.

"First of all, let me introduce the members of this operation, Luis and his former instructor Lula, both of whom are experts in explosives, familiar with the use of various heavy artillery equipment, and have many years of practical experience in fixed-point blasting and demining. Hugh's gaze turned to a lively, brown-skinned agent and a silent, ponytailed black woman.

"Salvatore, a machine gunner who has fought in many warlord wars in South America, is adept at using Gatling guns and providing heavy fire cover." A tall, burly black man with a strong biceps and a gorilla-like expression.

"Garnett, a computer hacker, is able to hack into enemy networks, listen to enemy communications, paralyze enemy command systems, call or turn off enemy surveillance cameras, open electronic doors, and control intelligent firepower." A young man in a red checked shirt and blue jeans greeted everyone.

"Carl, a commando, specializes in the use of light weapons and various knives, as well as hand-to-hand combat, and is a domestic sanda champion for several times." A man of medium stature with tight muscles, holding his cheeks and thinking about something.

"Olivia, a vehicle carrier, is familiar with the driving of various armored vehicles, ships, airboats, airplanes". A slender redhead with a smile on her face.

"Hugh, a sniper, can kill with one shot from a distance of 100 meters, killing people invisibly." Hugh nodded to everyone.

"Katyusha, a master of stealth, can appear behind enemy lines by surprise and is proficient in all kinds of assassination techniques." Katyusha tied up her hair that had fallen down.

"After the introduction of the team members, Lula is the captain of this operation, and he is fully responsible for the command of the operation." Mason paused, pointing to the hologram projection.

"The following introduces the details of the mission, this island is located near the northwest territorial waters of our country, and has been occupied by the Japan-US alliance for new equipment tests, codenamed Raptor, simply put, this equipment is similar to the robot in the Transformers, but the proportion is smaller, its torso is the cockpit, which can carry a pilot and control it, in terms of the way of travel, it is more flexible than conventional heavy weapons, in addition to not wading in water, it can fly at low altitudes and move in all terrains." Mason looked at everyone.

"In terms of weapon systems, it is equipped with a 30 mm caliber M230 chain gun, and when focused on a point of fire, the high-speed metal jet formed by the focus can penetrate more than 5 centimeters of steel plates, which is almost a one-hit kill for conventional military vehicles other than tanks. Another highlight of the Raptor is that it is equipped with a 3-meter-long thermal energy knife capable of directing the heat of nuclear energy to the blade of the knife, up to 3,000 degrees Celsius, which can dissolve steel, and in terms of power plant, it is equipped with high-polymerization nuclear fuel rods, which can continue to move up to 15,000 kilometers. Mason introduced its details,

"In order to cope with the threat of this new type of equipment, the Russian side is stepping up the development of a chemical agent, the green liquid brought back by our Katyusha, which is still in the experimental stage. It has good solubility to most metals. With that, Mason took a bottle out of his pocket, then pulled out a Beretta 92 pistol, and dropped two drops on it, and the gun turned into a cloud of steam. There was an exclamation from below.

"Can it be made into ammunition, it may be useful for this mission." Carl asked.

"Aside from glass and plastic, no container has been found that can hold it." Mason made a helpless expression. "Although it can be used as a throwing weapon in a glass bottle, the primary purpose of this mission is to infiltrate the island, obtain test data and related intelligence, and bring the prototype of the Raptor back for study in as good condition as possible, so this liquid must not be used, and it is difficult to overcome it yourself." Mason is clear about the core of the mission.

"On this island, there is a former Soviet air force airfield during the Cold War, which is now abandoned, and the other side may rely on it to build temporary command centers and fortifications." Mason points his whip at an artificial structure in a hologram.

"According to spy satellite data, there are a total of 132 troops stationed on the island, a US military C130 Hercules military transport aircraft and three Black Hawk helicopter gunships, two American M1A1 main battle tanks, and the protagonist of this mission, the prototype of the Raptor." Mason added.

"Your mission is to take three assault boats to a supply boat at the edge of our territorial waters, change into diving gear, ride a single submarine motorcycle, and reach the reef behind this prison from the bottom of the sea to the island landing mission, and if possible, bring back the prototype of the Raptor with enemy transport aircraft, and if the enemy transport aircraft are not available, the military will assist you." Mason finishes the mission.
