But fortunately, the bases of the Star Covenant are all on small islands in the lake, and there is such a natural huge barrier as the Seven Star Lake, as long as they don't happen to come from the point close to the Goddess Peak, they won't be discovered so quickly.

Here, after quickly eliminating the ironhead fish that broke into the forbidden area, Zhang Xiaoman returned to the land of inheritance on the Dawn, where there are still some things waiting for him to deal with.

……

On the other side, in a temporary camp in the upper right corner of Qixing Lake, a group of men in combat uniforms are deploying facilities here, they are the previous team of the United States who came here to explore, and the sea lion reconnaissance team with rich experience in amphibious operations.

In a tent, a middle-aged white man with a beard is now intently looking at the map on the table, which is the result of these days, including the route of travel, as well as the terrain environment, and even a series of elements such as temperature, climate, humidity, etc., all in great detail.

"Huh? The terrain here is relatively low, the air pressure is high, and the air density should increase, why is the density of the wind so low? Who is responsible for the measurement and drawing of this piece, and how can such a low-level mistake be made? ”

The man's brow furrowed, unhappy with the situation in front of him.

"Hmph, it looks like someone wants to try hell training again."

A sneer appeared on his face, and the figure of some unlucky guy came to mind.

This person is none other than the commander in charge of the expedition, John Warwick.

John Warwick is a veteran special forces soldier who has participated in 7 combat missions and experienced 15 different environments.

It can be said that in terms of experience and qualifications, even elite fighters like Bei Ye and Wu Feng cannot be compared in front of them.

Now, although John is entering middle age, he has taken on the role of commander of the Sea Lion Scout, specializing in rookie training and tactical command.

Now, after receiving the latest mobilization mission from China, he led a group of newcomers to join the exploration of this mysterious island.

And the task given to him by the base is to explore deeply, draw a map, and set up a signal base station, which is called in the game - the pathfinder soldier who opens the map.

Well, that's not what John himself calls it, according to him, he is the sharp knife of the entire base, the hero who always leads the way and charges first.

In the morning, when they arrived at the lake to set up camp, someone suddenly noticed an unknown creature on the surface of the lake not far away, which immediately made him happy.

You know, one of the orders given from above is to bring back all kinds of creatures that have been found.

Of course, the creatures here are not referring to the kind that can be seen everywhere on the water blue star, but the strange monsters that often appear inexplicably all over the country recently.

As long as he took any of them and brought them back, it would be a great achievement for him. And for him now, just one chance away, he can give himself another promotion, and when the pension or something, it won't be a lot of increases.

Therefore, after John discovered the existence of the monster in the lake, he did not hesitate to send a combat team in his hand, hoping that they could find and bring the monster back.

"Damn rotten sweet potatoes, I haven't been back for so long on a mission, and if it weren't for the urgent need for manpower to explore this island, how could those mercenaries have a chance to join my troops."

When John thought of the group of newcomers who suddenly appeared in the team, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and he had to say that this year's newcomers were the worst he had ever bred.

Just as his thoughts were diverging, a soldier suddenly burst into the tent, and without waiting for him to ask a question, he said breathlessly:

"Commander, Cando is back, right by the lake...... I think you should check it out ......"

Hearing this, John glanced at this young man, this guy is a soldier brought out by himself, unlike those mercenaries who were temporarily recruited, he is an excellent seed selected from the army of the United States, and has absolutely reliable loyalty and will.

It's just that, what's wrong with this guy now, this panicked appearance, is this the kind of look that a special combat officer should have? Have you forgotten all the things you usually teach him, the most basic quality that an elite warrior needs to have is to be calm in the face of danger!

Thinking of this, he was very displeased, looked at this little soldier, and began to think about whether to add some training to this guy today, so that he could increase his memory.

"Stephen, watch your state."

When the young man heard this, he quickly came back to his senses after a slight pause, and secretly said in his heart that the instructor was not an instructor, and this calmness was something he couldn't learn.

After adjusting his tone, he said in a neutral voice: "Commander! Captain Cando, who went out on a mission, has returned, and he is now at the lake, and you need to go over and check the situation! ”

"Well, that's good."

When John saw him like this, he nodded with satisfaction, and at the same time there was some secret joy in his heart, waiting for me by the lake, it seems that he has gained something.

That guy Cando really deserves to be a soldier I taught, even with such a group of rabble, he can successfully complete the mission.

"I see, I'll be over right away, oh yes, are they going to be captured alive or killed this time?"

On the side, the little soldier was stunned when he heard this.

Alive? Killed? What is the boss talking about, I don't understand.

However, he still subconsciously corrected what John had just said.

"Commander! It's not them, it's him! ”

"Him?"

John was also a little unresponsive.

"That's right! It's 'him'! Kando has come back alone, and now he is on the edge of the lake, and the medic is rescuing him! ”

"Salvage?"

The weather-beaten veteran subconsciously repeated his words, and then suddenly came back to his senses.

"Rescue! You say he's rescuing!? ”

John got up from his chair with a "poof", and could no longer remain calm, and a terrible thought appeared in his mind.

"Stephen, you idiot, are you kidding me!?"

The little soldier was grabbed by his collar, and the whole person was a little frightened.

"No, no ......"

John was furious.

"Shet! Why didn't you say something so important earlier! ”

"I, I ......"

"Damn it! What are you still doing in a daze! Hurry up and take me there! ”

John's dream was shattered, and he was so anxious that he pulled the little soldier out of the tent.
