Chapter 165: Open-pit Mine
"Sir, except for the few Clara people who have been specially forgiven, the rest of the alien races have all been wiped out!" An officer came running over, apparently the commander who had organized the attack.
"Got it, ignore the Clara people, look for the available equipment in the watchtower." Xu Cheng looked at the young captain and asked, "What's your name?" ”
The captain stood up straight and replied with a full sense of anger: "Report to the chief, I am Zhang Min, the leader of the first ranger team. ”
"Got it." Xu Cheng nodded, patted the captain on the shoulder, and praised the cleanliness of his command.
"By the way, my men checked the equipment and facilities in the watchtower when they came in before, and found that most of them were destroyed, except for an underground weapons depot with a biological lock and information from nearby mines, but these things are useless, and the weapons of the mine guards are far inferior to ours." Zhang Min continued to add: "However, under the cracking of our communications troops, the computer in the watchtower can already be used, and we found that the watchtower personnel here do not seem to have been completely withdrawn, and some of them do not seem to have boarded the transport ship of the mining company, and the whereabouts of these people have not yet been found, but as far as credible clues are concerned, they were kidnapped by a group of aliens after holding on here for a few hours, and the group of aliens is mixed and complex, including multiple races, and I speculate that there should be a group of alien gatherings near here." ”
"Well, by the way, you go and check the information, I think since there is a mine nearby, then there will definitely be a geological survey, you find out this information, and see if there are any underground karst caves and other places around." Xu Cheng instructed: "In addition, call Deputy Captain Hong Nanlong over, I have something to discuss with him." ”
"Understood, sir!" Zhang Min saluted, and then left in a hurry.
But coincidentally, as soon as Zhang Min walked away with his front foot, Hong Nanlong came over with his back foot.
"Captain, I just looked at the surrounding terrain, and two scouts reported to me halfway through that there was a large number of alien troops in the open-pit mine, and as far as they could see, there were more than six hundred, and this number would only be less than much as he estimated." Hong Nanlong frowned and said: "The mission we came here this time was all sent on the personal terminal, and everyone knows that this time we came back here to find an arsenal of the enemy......"
"Hmm......" Xu Cheng thought about it, so many armed aliens gathered in one place, in this period of turmoil, it was obviously somewhat doubtful.
"In this case, let's not act rashly, select five agile soldiers in the team to form a reconnaissance team, if there is a possibility of an underground arsenal there, we will immediately exterminate these alien troops!" Xu Cheng paced back and forth on the ground and said, "Our whereabouts need to be kept secret, at least not yet. ”
"Got it, so let's pick now, right?" Hong Nanlong nodded solemnly and said, "We'd better hurry up, this guard tower is not safe, and we have a large number of brothers who are still outside to endure the sandstorm, high temperature, and scorching sun." ”
Xu Cheng looked at Hong Nanlong, and scolded himself in his heart, after all, no matter what he said, he had to find a shady place for these soldiers to repair.
"Wait a minute!" Xu Cheng stopped Hong Nanlong, who was in a hurry, and said, "Let those soldiers withdraw to the shady ground in the river valley." ”
Hong Nanlong glanced at Xu Cheng, nodded with some relief, and then walked out.
However, Xu Cheng did not go out with Hong Nanlong, he made contact with the distant ranger army base through the communication device in the helmet, or to be precise, with Wang Meng.
"Commander Wang...... You've put us in this area, but you haven't told us what we're going to rely on to find that underground alien arsenal, and I'm afraid it's hard to find a target in three days. Xu Cheng looked at the blue woman in front of him with some embarrassment: "The army should have news about this arsenal, someone must have seen it or determined that it exists, otherwise the combined military would not have spent a lot of money to send us here, as far as I know, we are not the only evolutionary troops who have come here." ”
"Alright...... Let's put it this way, the military factory you are looking for is something that the United Military can confirm to exist, and he is indeed located below the surface, in fact, the approximate location of that military factory is in the area where you are located, because our agents once smuggled a tracker into it during an operation, but because the underground in that area is rich in an ore that is easy to resonate and propagate with various energies - Set's crystal, it is obvious that due to the characteristics of Set's alloy, the current area, An area of nearly 2,000 square kilometers is filled with tracker signals. ”
When Xu Cheng heard that it was nearly 2,000 square kilometers, his face was almost gloomy and about to drip water, with such a large search area, what kind of ghosts could they find in three days? The United Army is not so stupid, and the High Priest will not embarrass him so much, so it is obvious that this Wang Meng is making trouble!
"Commander, your information is very important, I hope you can tell me all the information." Xu Cheng said with a faint smile: "Look, you should know that I am here to be a soldier for a few days, and I will disappear in a few days, but this group of soldiers under you are all elite soldiers." ”
"Okay," Wang Meng replied lightly, "You can go to that mine and have a look, the last place before the signal was expanded was there, and there should be a clue there." Randomly, she hung up the connection directly before Xu Cheng could reply, leaving Xu Cheng alone and speechless.
This Wang Meng didn't know how he became the commander of the army, and he actually concealed information during the war...... Xu Cheng habitually touched the back of his head, but only touched the hard helmet.
Striding out of the guard tower, Xu Cheng saw Hong Nanlong selecting the soldiers who went to reconnoitre, thought for a moment, but turned around and walked towards the trial team members.
Along the way, Xu Cheng has not communicated with the team members for a long time, although he is busy, but Xu Cheng knows that in the final analysis, it is actually because he doesn't want to come to this unit, so those soldiers feel that they are taking a private team to engage in dictatorship, this situation is not afraid of 10,000 in case, but Xu Cheng feels that now it seems that he has done a little too much, along the way, his communication with the team members is not as much as he and Hong Nanlong communicate alone, and he can't take care of Jiang Xiaoyi's coma in the sky. What's more, she didn't go to see her once after she woke up, and now that she thinks about it, Xu Cheng feels a little unhappy in her heart.
"You guys come to the watchtower later, I have something to tell you, but I have some things to do, so you can go to the top floor first, you may not know that the Clara captive Kaludo is also here, but I spared the lives of their family." Xu Cheng said lightly, but he didn't know that this remark made these team members who had been born and died a little disappointed......
"Got it... Xu Cheng, in fact, there are some tasks you can give us to do, and our strength is generally stronger than these soldiers. Zhang Jinyun said unnaturally: "We're a little too calm on the way, aren't we?" ”
Xu Cheng looked at the trial team members around him, and a little guilt suddenly surged in his heart...... As the captain, he snubbed his own teammates, which will undoubtedly make everyone feel physically and mentally uncomfortable.
"It's not our turn to take action for these little things, just let ordinary evolutionary soldiers take action for reconnaissance, before that, you have to accumulate strength, and... Jiang Xiaoyi's strength is too weak, you have to think of a way, we may go down to the surface in the near future. Xu Cheng frowned and said, "As you know, I've been trying to prevent the team members who live and die together from dying in the trial mission..."
When Zhang Jinyun heard this, he chose to be silent, and the rest of the people did the same...
"Let's go to the top floor first... Help me keep an eye on that Kaludo, I'm afraid he's not being honest. After Xu Cheng finished speaking, he hurried to Hong Nanlong.
"Are you the best scouting soldiers you have ever picked?" Xu Cheng retracted all the expressions just now, turned to look at him enthusiastically, and said, "I think you will definitely be able to complete the task!" ”
Xu Cheng's words seemed a little dramatic, but they really made these soldiers feel better.
"Yes, sir!" The soldiers replied in unison.
"Very good, you must be careful when you go this time, remember, life is the most important thing, I just need you to get the approximate number of alien troops in that open-pit mine and the approximate open-pit structure of the mine, after all this, you can directly choose to come back." Xu Cheng smiled and shook hands with everyone and patted them on the shoulder for encouragement.
This seemingly useless thing greatly stimulated the fighting spirit of these scout soldiers who were about to set off.
"Thank you, sir, we are all fully prepared for reconnaissance activities immediately!" The scout was like a hot-blooded fool, and Xu Cheng's words completely aroused the battle flame in his heart.
"Go, we're waiting here for your news!" Xu Cheng looked at everyone with a smile and watched them embark on the road of reconnaissance.
Hong Nanlong looked at Xu Cheng in surprise, he had been in this second brigade for so long, and he had never seen these veteran oils so active in the hands of outsiders, like this situation, he had only seen it once.
"Captain, you really have a way of managing your soldiers." Hong Nanlong gently praised Xu Cheng and said, "I'm really convinced of you now." ”
"I've always done my best to my subordinates, you can note that." Xu Cheng looked at Hong Nanlong lightly and said: "Hong Nanlong, you don't have to deliberately please me, I don't need to be like this, I just need you to do your own thing, I may not understand you in military affairs, so I hope I can discuss many things with you, what do you think?" ”
Hong Nanlong raised his eyebrows, but the joy in his eyes couldn't be suppressed.
"I will do my duty, you can rest assured!" Hong Nanlong swore an oath: "This group of brothers and I will absolutely listen to your leadership!" ”
Xu Cheng smiled and waved his hand, and said, "We are likely to be below the ground soon, you are very familiar with the troops, I hope you can make arrangements in advance in this regard, can you?" ”
Hong Nanlong nodded and said, "Understood, I'll arrange it!" ”
Xu Cheng nodded, and Hong Nanlong also walked away.
Xu Cheng took a deep breath and looked up at the sky, the rainy weather when they landed had long since changed to a sunny day, and the weather instantly became extremely humid and sticky, making people feel that there was a heat that locked the whole body.
