Chapter 52: The Expedition
After listening to Xiong Chuanbin's words, Su Zijun couldn't help but fall into silence.
"Although I don't fully agree with you, it seems safer to lie dormant and wait for an opportunity than to take the initiative aimlessly!"
After a long time, Su Zijun looked at Xiong Chuanbin in front of him: "Then now, we should think carefully about how to deal with the above!" ”
Three hours later, the 9th Squadron returned to the barracks en masse, only to come back with them, and the bad news, that laboratory was destroyed by a self-destruct program!
For the high-level management, this news is tantamount to being slapped in the face!
One of the nine elites of the defense army, when it went out to perform an ordinary mission, not only failed to complete the mission, but also inexplicably lost a third!
Although the survivors returned with the same caliber claiming that they were suspected of being attacked by ghosts, and provided live footage from a video camera attached to the outside of the helmet, everyone was actually skeptical about this!
When the 4th Squadron went to the area to clean up the battlefield, for various reasons, it didn't go too deep, so it didn't know much, so the only people who knew the whole situation were these surviving fighters of the 9th Squadron!
Originally, everyone thought that under strong pressure, the 9th Squadron, which went to the area again, would definitely give a reasonable explanation, but they didn't expect it to be such a result!
As a report from Su Zijun and Xiong Chuanbin was handed in, all kinds of gossip and remarks unfavorable to the two and the entire squadron suddenly spread rapidly in the barracks.
An hour after the report was handed in, Su and Xiong were taken away separately for questioning, and at the same time, the surviving members of the entire Ninth Squadron were also questioned separately!
The entire military camp tossed around for a whole day, but the answer they got in the end was not much different from what Su Xiong and the others reported!
In desperation, in order to take care of the emotions of other teams, the top of the military department had to symbolically remove Su Xiong and the two from their ranks, but they still appointed the two as temporary captains and assistants of the ninth squadron!
After dealing with the above, Su Xiong and the others breathed a sigh of relief. And in the days that followed, in addition to the tasks and training that had to be carried out, the entire Ninth Squadron looked unusually low-key!
In this way, a month and a half passed quietly, and during this time, everything was calm, as if the previous ghost thing was just a coincidence!
Su Zijun sighed incessantly in the captain's office of the Ninth Squadron: "It's been a month and a half, and I don't have a clue about the task!" Not to mention the lair, even the ghost doesn't know where to die! From the beginning, I didn't think it would be that easy! The ghost can't be found, and the war is over! ”
At first, after listening to Xiong Chuanbin's attention to watch the changes, he didn't pay much attention to it at first, but as time went by, his patience was gradually exhausted!
"Captain, there's another mission!" Just when he was thinking about what to do, Xiong Chuanbin suddenly walked in from outside.
In this regard, he just waved his hand impatiently: "Come on!" As always, you're in charge! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiong Chuanbin shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't work this time!" ”
Hearing this, Su Zijun suddenly looked up at him and raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?" ”
"This mission level is dangerous! So the general specifically ordered that all the members of the team must be in place! In order to reduce the risk and prevent all kinds of accidents from happening, this mission will be completed by four squadrons together! ”
After listening, Su Zijun's eyes suddenly narrowed: "What is the goal of this mission?" ”
"One of our regular combat teams was wiped out while on a clean-up mission in Area 40, and then a team that went to the area to investigate also met with an accident! Since no news came back twice, after discussion, the military department immediately sent the 6th Squadron and a specially dispatched investigation team to the place, but in the end, only a small part of the 6th Squadron escaped back! ”
"According to the accounts of the members of the 6th Squadron who escaped, they all said that they had been attacked by ghosts! As soon as this incident came out, the high-level people were shocked! After urgent deliberation, the military department sent the first and second squadrons to cooperate to investigate, but this time there were no accidents, and even the enemy did not appear! ”
"However, later, according to the analysis of the investigation results brought back by the two squadrons, it was found that the deaths of the two squadron members were very similar to the ones we encountered in the laboratory before, and later the military department suspected that the ghost that had disappeared for a long time may have reappeared! So the military headquarters ordered us to go to the area to find and destroy those ghosts! ”
Hearing this, Su Zijun's eyes suddenly lit up!
After waiting for a long time, he finally heard the news of the ghost again, which made him feel relieved! First of all, whether it is true or not, as long as there is a slight possibility, then you will not be blind!
But then he was a little puzzled: "Why haven't I gotten any news about such a major matter?" ”
Hearing this, Xiong Chuanbin's face suddenly flashed a hint of discoloration, but it only returned to normal in an instant: "This matter has been kept strictly secret, and I just got the news, as for why I didn't tell you, it's just because I didn't get the exact news before, and you said that you were not interested in anything other than ghosts, so ......"
Hearing this answer, Su Zijun's heart was suddenly shocked, because he had been too comfortable before, he almost forgot the environment he was in, and at this moment, after hearing Xiong Chuanbin's words, he suddenly woke up, he was still too young, as an outsider, if he trusted the people here too much, he might not even know how to die in the end!
Although there was a precaution in his heart, he didn't show any abnormality on the surface, so after Xiong Chuanbin's words fell, he spoke directly: "Gather the team immediately and prepare to go!" ”
A moment later, when he and Xiong Chuanbin came to the gathering square, they suddenly found that it was full of people, and after a closer look, he found that everyone here was equipped with the kind of protective equipment and weapons that he had applied for before that had not yet been fully assembled!
"It seems that the military department is really anxious this time, and it is actually equipped with so many new protective equipment and weapons at one time!" Su Zijun couldn't help but secretly say in his heart when he saw this.
He knows that although the electromagnetic gun has not yet been officially equipped with the troops, because it has undergone a series of tests, the reliability has been confirmed, but the ultra-high-power plasma discharge gun is still in the testing stage, and all kinds of data have not yet been obtained, and the reliability cannot be confirmed!
But even so, this weapon with super destructive and lethal power was distributed in large quantities and equipped into the hands of warriors!
However, Su Zijun didn't pay too much attention to this, at this moment, most of his mind had already flown to the object that seemed to be a ghost!
Ten minutes later, when he saw that a tank company and ten helicopter gunships had been dispatched this time, he realized how much importance the above attached to this mission!
