Chapter 74: Bandit Found
Shangguanqi and the other hurriedly crouched down, then gently took out their weapons from behind, ready to shoot at any moment.
At this time, there was another commotion, and then a black shadow came out of the shadows and jumped towards the two of them.
Shangguanqi looked at it and saw that it was a beast, about a meter long, with long stiff hair and a pointed and long nose, which looked a little like a pig.
It is an animal that lives in the desert and is called a sand dolphin, which is very common in Yaqiu.
The two breathed a sigh of relief, and said in their hearts: "I was almost scared to death by this guy." ”
I saw that the sand dolphin was covered with dead branches, apparently just emerging from some dead bush. The creature sniffed around with its long, pointed nose, and seemed to notice a different smell than usual.
Shangguan Qi didn't care about it anymore, and continued to urge the people above to hurry down, while the other people looked at the sand dolphin with great interest.
The sandporks lingered for a while not far from the two of them, and then ran down the dry riverbed towards the depths of the canyon.
Suddenly, as the sand dolphin ran past a dead bush, a red light flashed in the dead bush.
This scene happened to be seen by another person, and he immediately remembered Shangguan Qi's instructions and immediately reported the situation to Shangguan Qi.
"Sir, there seems to be something in the dead bushes over there, and I see a flash of red light."
Hearing this, Shangguan Qi also became alert, and hurriedly said, "Scan it with a metal detector!" ”
Hearing Shangguanqi's order, the man cautiously approached the dead wood, and then turned on the metal scan, and with a ticking sound, an elongated prompt sounded.
"Tick-"
"Sir, there's something in the bushes, it seems to be an infrared detector."
Shangguan Qi listened, nodded and said, "It seems to be a robber's thing, but I didn't expect them to use infrared detectors now." ”
At this time, the others also descended to the bottom of the valley one after another, and Shangguanqi ordered everyone to investigate carefully around to see how many detectors there were. Soon two or three more people also discovered the detector, indicating that this was already the outer cordon of the robbers, and these were all devices specially left by the robbers.
"Fortunately, the sand dolphin just now, otherwise it would have been accidentally discovered by robbers." Shangguan Qi secretly said in his heart, "It seems that every step in the future must be more careful." ”
"Use jammers to destroy these detectors so you don't accidentally trigger the alarm." Shangguanqi said.
A soldier took out the jammer he was carrying and cast a strong magnetic interference on several detectors, and soon the electronic circuits of several detectors were destroyed, and the detectors became waste.
"Sir, are we going to move on next?"
Shangguan Qi thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "There are probably similar detectors on the opposite cliff, let's not rush up first, these warning devices have appeared here, indicating that the robbers' lair is indeed nearby, let's look for other clues in the canyon first." ”
After saying that, Shangguanzaki ordered everyone to spread out as much as possible, and move along the riverbed to the upper reaches of the area, using a scanner to detect the surrounding situation at any time along the way.
Everyone cautiously moved forward, and found many probes along the way, all of which were destroyed one by one.
Shangguanzaki had a strong premonition that something must be found in this canyon, because the probes along the way showed that there was something very important in this canyon.
After walking for about an hour, the group walked along the canyon to a relatively open place, which, judging from the topography, was probably a lake in the past.
At this moment, a man suddenly shouted: "Look! There's a wheel print over there! ”
Everyone followed the man's fingers, and sure enough, they saw a clear wheel mark on a piece of sand, which further proved that Shangguan Qi's guess was correct.
"Look around for any wheel prints." Kamikanzaki ordered.
After some careful searching, the group found the wheel mark again, and then followed the wheel mark all the way, and finally found a wide hole under a cliff.
Looking at the entrance of this dark cave, there are all kinds of messy wheel prints all over the sand in front of the cave entrance, and it is obvious that there are often vehicles coming and going here.
"Looks like we've found it! This is supposed to be the entrance to the bandits' base. Everyone was very happy and high-fived in celebration.
But Shangguanzaki knew very well that it was not enough to find the entrance, such a cave was likely to be very large and complex, and further investigation must be carried out to determine the exact location.
"We've got to see, it's not enough to find the entrance, we'll have to look inside the cave to find out." Shangguanqi said.
When everyone heard that they were going to go deep into the cave, they were all a little scared, and they looked at each other's expressions, and they all looked worried.
"Sir, I'm afraid it's dangerous to rush in, in case there's a vigilance system inside...... someone reminded.
Shangguanqi nodded and said, "I know, so we can't break in so recklessly, we must have the cover of robbers." ”
"Cover for robbers? I'm afraid it's too hard, right? Everyone didn't know what medicine Shangguanqi was buying in his gourd, and they all looked at Shangguanqi with wide eyes.
Shangguanqi smiled: "Let's find a place to hide first and wait patiently for the opportunity." ”
A few people first took off their mobile armor and found a hidden place to hide, and then sent people to take turns staring at the hole.
As the sky grew dark, the surroundings slowly turned into pitch black, and in the wilderness there was only the howling of the wind, but the occasional roar or two of wild beasts could be heard.
"Sir, we've been waiting for almost six hours, and there are no vehicles at all." The person in charge of watching said to Shangguanqi while staring at the entrance of the cave with a telescope.
"Be patient, it's only been a few hours, even if you wait for a whole day, it's normal." Shangguan Qi said unhurriedly while lying behind a large rock.
As he spoke, a strong light suddenly shot out of the dark hole, illuminating the sand in front of the cave entrance.
"It's coming! There is a car out! ”
Hearing the shout, all the people hiding behind the stones got up and ran towards the observation point with their waists bent. Everyone climbed behind a pile of rocks and looked through the gaps between the stones.
Sure enough, a car slowly pulled out of the cave and staggered along the uneven sand towards the crowd.
The lights of the vehicle swept past the place where everyone was hiding, and everyone hurriedly lay on the ground, not daring to move a little. After the car drove by, everyone cautiously poked their heads out to look at the back of the car.
I saw that the vehicle did not drive away from the direction from which everyone came, but turned into another canyon, which had split into several roads in this area, and the robbers used the canyon to cover the driving vehicles.
Shangguan Qi said secretly: "No wonder the drones and satellites have not found the exact location of the bandits' den, it turns out that the canyon is their natural road." ”
When the car went away, everyone dared to speak: "Sir, how can we get in?" ”
Shangguanqi thought for a while and said: "Since there are vehicles coming out, there must also be vehicles going in, we set up some things on the ground that destroy the wheels and break their wheels, they will inevitably stop and check, and then we will find an opportunity to blend in with the car, so that we can go in?" ”
"Good way, worthy of the chief."
"Don't pat yourself on the back, get me moving right away, and set something sharp on the ground." Kamikanzaki ordered.
After looking for the equipment they carried, they finally decided to use a semi-automatic pid for mountaineering and rock climbing, burying the sharp end of the pid into the sand, and once it was crushed by the wheel, the pid would automatically collapse and puncture the wheel.
Seven men worked together to quickly bury the pitons where the wheels had been crushed, and the tires would have been punctured if the vehicle had passed over them.
As soon as the pitons were buried, a large truck came from a distance, staggering through the canyon at a very slow pace. Shangguanzaki could tell at a glance that the truck must be full of heavy goods, and as long as they stopped, they would have a chance to climb onto the car.
Shangguanqi whispered to everyone: "It is impossible for everyone to get up in this car, if they stop, me and No. 2 are responsible for climbing the car, and the others will find a way to distract them, do you understand?" ”
"Understood!"
"If we make it to the bus, the rest of us will wait here and don't be allowed to move around until we get back."
"Yes, sir."
A few people were discussing, and at this time, they listened to "Bang! With a loud bang, the tires of the big truck were punctured, and the huge explosion shook and buzzed around, and a large amount of dust was blown everywhere.
"Here's the opportunity, everyone prepare." Shangguan Qi said.
At this time, the truck stopped, the cockpit was slowly opened, and the three people climbed down the ladder next to the cockpit.
"What bad luck! It's all here, the tires are still bursting, is it pressing something? A robber grumbled and walked towards the exploding wheels.
Shangguan Qi saw that the three of them were walking towards the wheels, and knew that the opportunity had come, so if he didn't act at this time, he would wait for when.
"Follow me!" Kamikanzaki waved and ran towards the truck with Team No. 2.
This kind of truck is very large, and Shangguanqi and the others approached it from the other side, and the robbers who were passing through the vehicle could not see it at all. The two people quietly touched the side of the cargo compartment and saw that the electronic lock on the cargo compartment door was shining a green light, indicating that the cargo compartment had been locked, and unless there was an electronic key to open it, it was necessary to enter the cockpit to open it.
Fortunately, several robbers did not close the cockpit door at all when they came down, and Shangguanzaki pointed to the cockpit with his finger, indicating that he wanted to enter the cockpit and let his companions wait in place.
The companion nodded knowingly, Shangguan Qi did not delay any longer, ran to the ladder below the cockpit, climbed up with his hands and feet flexibly, and reached the door of the cockpit in a few seconds, and then flashed into the cockpit with a cat's waist.
However, at this time, a robber on the other side of the vehicle was also walking towards the cockpit, and said to the other robbers as he went, "You wait, I'll go to the cockpit and put the stand down." ”
