Chapter 73: Reconnaissance Mission

In the desolate wilderness, except for the endless brown soil, all that remains is all kinds of strangely shaped rocks.

It is not too much to describe this wilderness as a lack of vegetation, at least not on the surface of the earth, where one involuntarily feels desolate, as if nothing matters anymore.

Two armored personnel carriers were parked at the edge of the wilderness, and Shangguanzaki and a few people got out of the personnel carriers, and he discussed something with the people who drove the vehicles while instructing everyone to move the equipment out of the vehicles.

"You find a hidden place nearby, and I will lead people into the wilderness, for five days at most, or three days at least, and I will definitely bring people back." Shangguan Qi said: "If I don't contact you after the time, you can directly ask Yaqiu City for help." ”

"Yes, sir." The person driving the vehicle nodded in agreement.

Shangguanqi turned to the person who was moving things and said, "Hurry up, we have to rush to the temporary camp a hundred miles away before dark, and if we move slowly, we will spend the night in the wilderness, you shouldn't want to be food for wild beasts, right?" ”

"Yes! Sir! Hearing Shangguan Qi's urging, everyone sped up and unloaded the large boxes from the car, which were soon piled up like a hill.

Shangguan Qi counted the equipment according to the list, and after confirming that it was correct, he said to everyone: "No problem, you can put up the motorized infantry armor." ”

In order to carry out the reconnaissance mission this time, Shangguan Qi brought a few militiamen with good skills, as well as a few soldiers borrowed from Lu Gang, who were mainly responsible for various equipment.

This motorized infantry armor can actually be seen as a miniature mecha, although it is not as powerful as the mecha, it can effectively protect the soldiers, improve the mobility of the soldiers, and has a high popularity among the imperial army.

There are also a lot of imitation mobile armor among the people, but the power part is not comparable to that of the army, so more people use mechanical bones, such as most people in the bandit army use mechanical bones.

Shangguan Qi and the others were using the standard equipment of the army, and they saw several people work together to take out a pair of motorized infantry armor from a large box, and then place it on the ground.

"Sir, come first."

Shangguan Qi nodded, walked to the mobile armor, stepped on the feet of the armor with both feet, and heard a verbal prompt sound: "Ready to wear the mobile armor, please raise your arms up,,2,1,start!" ”

After the prompt sounded, I heard a "click" sound, and the mobile armor began to unfold continuously, from the original boxy shape, gradually unfolding into pieces of different shapes, and then starting from Shangguanqi's legs, gradually wrapping all parts of the body in turn, until the head and arms were also completely wrapped.

"Armor covered, locked!" The voice prompt rings again.

Then I heard "Click! With a bang, the mobile armor tightened inward, and the large and small gaps disappeared in an instant, and the entire armor was perfectly locked together, and it was completely impossible to see that it was composed of many parts.

Shangguan Qi was very familiar with this kind of armor, and he didn't need to be taught by others, he activated the system himself, and in the tight helmet, he saw a picture larger than the field of vision of his eyes through the screen in front of him.

"Very well, you guys should hurry up and get dressed." Shangguan Qi commanded.

After everyone got dressed, Shangguan Qi explained to the people left behind, and then walked towards the wilderness with six people.

In order to find the exact location of the robbers' lair, Shangguan Qi and others decided to search on foot, so as to effectively avoid alarming the robbers.

Although Shangguan Qi and the others advanced on foot, there were satellites and drones in the air to help reconnoitre, and the field of vision was actually quite huge.

Since everyone is wearing mobile armor, there is practically no need for me to contribute during the hike, and the armor will carry the soldiers to walk automatically, but people will still feel tired after a long time.

A group of seven people went up and down in the rugged wilderness, and as the mobile armor led the group forward, everyone only had to focus on observing their surroundings.

A few hours later, everyone had advanced more than fifty kilometers, and at this time, Shangguan Qi ordered to stop and rest, and everyone came out of their armor, already covered in sweat.

Taking advantage of the rest, Shangguanzaki called up the map to study the route, and now they were nearly halfway to the temporary camp, and they had to hurry up to get there before dark.

"Everyone hurry up and drink water, excrete, and we will leave in 5 minutes." Shangguan Qi said in an unquestionable tone.

Everyone didn't dare to say much, so they hurriedly made preparations, then put on their mobile armor again, and set foot on the road again with Shangguan Qi's order.

In order to prevent people from falling asleep when they were too tired on the road, Shangguan Qi kept talking to other people while hurrying, and Shangguan Qi also encouraged everyone to tell jokes, so as not to get tired easily while hurrying.

I heard a militiaman under Shangguan Qi ask: "Shangguan, there is a red button here with the word 'pz' on it, what kind of button is this?" ”

Several militiamen wore this armor for the first time and were inevitably curious about the function of the armor.

Shangguan Qi smiled and didn't answer directly, but said to a soldier: "No. 5, you tell him." ”

The soldier known as No. 5 smiled: "Let me tell you, this button can't be pressed casually, otherwise there will be big trouble." ”

"What's the big trouble?" The militia asked curiously.

"This button is for injecting fanatic, just press it, and the armor will immediately give you a shot of fanatic, and then you will go crazy."

"Huh? It's scary! The militia was surprised and said, "Why do you want to get such a dangerous drug in your armor?" ”

Shangguanzaki explained: "This is to prevent some people from having fear and war weariness on the battlefield, and if this shot is entered, even the most timid person will be like a person who kills red, and he can't take care of any danger." ”

"This is also ...... Too ...... Don't talk about human feelings, do you think people are what? The militia's heart was shocked, and he said with some unacceptability.

"There is no way, there are not a few people who are mentally broken on the battlefield, and if the battle situation is affected because of the spiritual collapse of some people, it will cause greater losses to the army, so such coercive measures are adopted." Shangguan Qi said.

"Sir, have you ever injected this fanatic?" The militia asked.

Shangguan Qi was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Of course ......"

When the group finally arrived at the makeshift camp, it was completely dark, and the whole land was shrouded in thick darkness except for a touch of red that could be seen on the horizon.

The location of the temporary camp was determined by Shangguan Qi on the map in advance, and then let the drones drop some supplies here in advance, which can reduce the amount of things they have to carry.

Everyone was looking for the materials airdropped in advance in the wilderness, and because Shangguan Qi ordered that no lighting equipment be used, everyone had to use night vision images to search for them on the ground little by little.

Fortunately, the airdropped supplies were quickly found, and everyone quickly opened them and took out the food, water, tents, and other things inside.

Shangguan Qi had two people in charge of setting up tents, while the others set up guards around the camp to prevent enemies or wild beasts from approaching the camp in the middle of the night.

After the busy work, everyone could finally get into the tent and rest.

After a night of silence, the next day everyone was on the road again under the leadership of Shangguan Qi, and according to the plan, they should approach the robbers' lair this afternoon.

If all goes well, you'll be able to find out the exact location of the robbers' lair within today, and then spend the day back at the meeting point.

Shangguan Qi looked at the map, from here on, they were very careful, they must not be discovered by the robbers, otherwise this reconnaissance mission will be a complete failure.

"Everyone, pay attention, we are going to approach the robber's lair today, we must be in good spirits when we are on our way, keep an eye on the situation around us, and report any unusual findings to me immediately. Remember, any unusual findings should be reported in a timely manner, hear no! Shangguan Qi said very solemnly.

"Understood!" The six team members straightened their backs and said.

"Excellent! Let's hit the road, if you get tired on the road, you can use the supplement of armor, and you won't stop to rest on the road today. ”

After listening to Shangguan Qi's words, several people secretly stuck out their tongues, it seems that today must be a very hard day.

A few hours later, Shangguan Qi and the others had arrived at the edge of a canyon, and if the robbers' confessions were true, the bandits' lair would be ahead after crossing the canyon.

When he arrived at this place, Shangguan Qi was no longer in a hurry, and the most important thing at this time was not to be discovered, which was even more important than finding the robber's lair.

The canyon in front of you is hundreds of meters wide and tens of meters deep, and if you want to cross the canyon, you must first go down to the bottom of the valley, then cross the valley bottom, and finally climb the opposite cliff, thinking that the steel rope is impossible.

"Okay, let's go down. I take one person down first, and the others take cover above, being careful not to expose themselves. Shangguan Qi commanded.

"Understood!"

Shangguan Qi led another person to the edge of the cliff, pulled the steel cable from the waist of the armor, and then attached the mechanical grappling hook to the steel cable.

The two of them each found a rock and hooked the mechanical grappling hook firmly, while they slowly climbed down the edge of the cliff with the steel rope until their feet were off the ground and hung in the air.

As soon as the button on the waist was pressed, the steel rope began to be slowly released, and the two of them slowly descended to the bottom. The steel rope was released for more than 30 meters, and the feet of the two finally stepped on the sand at the bottom of the valley.

"We're at the bottom, you guys come down in order, hurry up!" Shangguan Qi said to the above.

As soon as Shangguan Qi finished speaking, suddenly there was a commotion behind him, which immediately frightened him and the other person to hold their breath.
