Chapter 054: Thirty Degrees North Latitude

Seeing the anticipation on my face, Hugo opened a secret room and took me inside to select weapons. The room was not large, but there were three or four shelves of firearms densely packed. Naturally, it can't be compared with the collection of the base, but the most common famous guns are also available here.

At a glance, I saw my favorite Glock, and I also saw the 95 automatic rifle that I used to use, as well as classic weapons such as the 85 sniper rifle, Beretta, 92 pistol, MP5, etc., all on the shelves.

"These are standard-spec weapons." Hugo said at this time: "I heard that your favorite ones are 95 automatic rifles and Glock pistols, and after we got Uncle Guo's notice, we are already rushing to make them for you." ”

I wondered, "Aren't they all here?" ”

Hugo said: "These targets are okay, but they are not enough to carry out tasks." Each of us has our own personal weapon, and it all has to be improved. In addition to some finishing on the original basis, it is also so that our identity will not be revealed in case of loss, including the bullets we use are also specially manufactured. This is also a kind of personal customization for our D.R.T. ”

As he spoke, Hugo picked up an M1911 pistol from the shelf, and of course I didn't have to choose, and just picked up the Glock G17. Then the two of us grabbed a box of bullets and walked out of the gun room.

When we got to the target station, we each inspected our weapons. I peeked to see Hugo's movements, fast and skillful, which did not match his Sven appearance at all.

We both checked and reloaded at the same time, and then we raised our guns and fired at the same time.

The man with the gun in his hand immediately seems to be a different person, and we become focused and confident. After a shuttle of bullets was fired, I looked at the results, and they were all full of guns, which were actually comparable.

Hugo said to me playfully, "Come again!" This time he pressed a button, and the target on the other side began to move at will.

It's another contest of shuttle bullets, and in the end it's comparable.

I can't see that Hugo's marksmanship is so good. I have had many opportunities to be a soldier, but Hugo doesn't look like someone who has ever been a soldier, and he can actually tie with me!

Hugo smiled and said to me, "Good marksmanship!" If you want to practice guns in the future, tell me that I will give you permission and you can come down and practice. ”

I smiled and thanked him.

At this time, the phone rang not far away, and Hugo went over to answer it. Then he told me he was going up there and let me practice here by myself. Seeing that he left, I didn't stay alone, and after putting the gun back in the gun magazine with him, I went to the second floor to exercise, while Hugo went to do his own business.

I had just lifted the dumbbell a few times, and suddenly a voice came from a loudspeaker: "Qin Jun, come up!" There are tasks. It was Shen Hao's voice.

I dropped my dumbbells and ran up from the basement in three steps and two steps, and the remaining four were already waiting for me in a meeting room on the first floor.

This room is specially treated and completely enclosed, and is dedicated to our confidential matters.

As soon as I sat down, Hugo turned on the projector, dialed it up a few times with my laptop, and a picture appeared on the screen.

"The goal this time is to save this woman!" At this time, Hugo was extremely serious, his tone was solemn, and he completely lost the sense of casualness he had before.

The photo shows a woman in a white coat, looking at her age should be about thirty years old, with long hair, melon seed face, quiet appearance but expressionless, and she is still very beautiful. The height is about 1.60 meters, and her figure is well-proportioned and slender, although she is wearing a white coat like a doctor, it is difficult to hide her graceful figure. On the whole, I feel like a woman engaged in scientific research.

Her name is Feng Jiutian, a high-tech biochemistry expert in China, who went to Australia a month ago to attend the World Academic Symposium. I originally planned to return to China yesterday, but I just received news that Dr. Feng's special plane had an accident. According to information from the intelligence services, the plane was normally on the way back, but for some reason, when it was close to the border of our country, it suddenly lost contact, changed its flight course, and then mysteriously disappeared into this area. As he spoke, Hugo clicked on the computer, and a map of the world appeared on the screen, with a location marked on the map.

I looked at it, and the map showed that it was near the Himalayas on the border between Tibet and Nepal, very close to Mount Everest, and I couldn't see the exact location anywhere. But An Beimo behind me found something abnormal, and she muttered: "It turned out to be here!" ”

Her whisper was not loud, but it was heard by all of us in the room. Hugo was also a little surprised that An Beimo could see this location. He said to An Beimo: "Can you tell what kind of place this is? Can you tell us about it? ”

An Beimo was not polite and said directly: "Judging from the map, the location of the plane disappearance should be north of Mount Everest." And don't you think this location is a bit special? That's 30 degrees north latitude! ”

When we heard this, our faces changed slightly, but Shen Hao looked at us blankly, and asked curiously, "What is the 30 degrees north latitude area?" ”

Hugo's face became even more solemn, and he briefly explained the so-called "thirty degrees north latitude" for Shen Hao.

Thirty degrees north latitude mainly refers to the range covered by the fluctuation of 5 degrees up and down 30 degrees north latitude on the world map of international standards. The region has been plagued by disasters since ancient times, with earthquakes, shipwrecks, volcanoes, and air crashes.

Due to the frequent disappearance and wreckage of planes and ships, which have led to the deaths of countless people along this latitude and longitude, it has become customary to be called the "Death Vortex Zone".

On the world map, the 30th parallel north runs from west to east through more than a dozen countries such as Morocco, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, China, and the United States. In addition to the fact that several of the world's major rivers flow into the sea at this latitude line, it is also home to many of the world's most famous mysteries of nature and civilization.

For example, the pyramids of ancient Egypt are built in the center of the precise earth's land mass, the incomprehensible Sphinx, the mysterious "Vulcan Tinder" mural in Dasiri in the Sahara Desert of North Africa, the Dead Sea in China, the "Hanging Garden" of Babylon, the legendary sunken place of the Great Western Continent, and the incredible "Bermuda Triangle", as well as the ruins of the ancient Mayan civilization that have amazed mankind for countless centuries.

Wonders, visions, and unsolved mysteries are not uncommon in our country alone. Anhui's "Eternal Cave", Sichuan's "Dead Sea", Poyang Lake's "Devil's Triangle", Sanxingdui Civilization and so on.

There are many literature works and special columns with the theme of 30 degrees north latitude in the world, but there is still no most scientific and reasonable explanation for it, and it has become a "difficult mystery to solve" in the true sense of mankind.

After a brief explanation, Hugo said to us: "Maybe this incident is just a coincidence. But no matter what, Dr. Feng Jiutian is very important to our country, and she has some biochemical transformative research and theories in her hands. If this was a premeditated hijacking, it was most likely the work of a foreign force. If they succeed, the damage to our country is immeasurable. Therefore, the superiors decided that it was necessary to find Dr. Feng's traces as quickly as possible and bring them back safely, and if something happened to her, we would also find her research results. It must not fall into the hands of outsiders, you know? ”

"Understood!" Several of us replied in unison.

At this time, Hugo looked at me and An Beimo, and said to the two of us: "I didn't expect you to receive the task as soon as you joined, and I originally wanted to use some time to let you and the team members know each other better, but it seems that now you can only temper from actual combat." The weapons of the two of you will temporarily use the existing ones in the headquarters, and other equipment is readily available, and Shen Hao and Qixing will take you to choose them later. Give you thirty minutes to prepare, and then everyone will gather in the hall. ”

"Yes!" An Beimo and I replied, and followed the four of us to get up and go out to prepare.

"Oh yes!" Hugo suddenly said: "In order to facilitate the movement, from the moment we set off, we all changed to code names for each other, do you two have a code name in mind?" ”

I really didn't have time to think about this, Hugo had to shake my head when I asked.

Shen Hao next to him said: "What's so difficult about this, I'll help you two choose a code name." Qin Jun is the No. 1 pioneer, and he looks black, so he is called Black Eagle! ”

I glared at him and said, "I'm not a helicopter!" ”

Shen Hao didn't care whether I agreed or not, and said to An Beimo: "This beauty is cold and arrogant, just call it a goddess!" ”

I immediately objected, and said angrily, "Why am I a bird and she is a goddess?" You're clearly partial. ”

Hugo said directly on the side: "Okay, it's decided." Go ahead and prepare! ”

Bei Qixing pulled An Beimo and left with a smile. When passing by me, An Beimo glanced at me with a sneer. When I wanted to try to change my code name again, I was pulled out of the house by Shen Hao, a kid with a hippie smile.

Coming to the basement level, we pick out the must-have outfits and gear. At this time, it is the middle of April, and the climate in the northern Himalayas is very harsh, with high altitude, low temperature, and no lower wind than level 7, so a lot of necessary things are to be carried, and it is estimated that the weight of each person is not low.

Since I haven't been there, most of the preparation work was done by Shen Hao, and he prepared a copy for me.

And looking at most of the things that Shen Hao gave me, there were a few things that I didn't recognize what they were for. But I didn't ask, and it was too late to talk about it then.

Things were ready to fill the backpack, Shen Hao asked me to put the backpack on a small cargo elevator, and told me that we didn't need to carry the materials in person, and Uncle Zhao would arrange for us to deliver them to our destination.

Then the five of us went down to the third basement to get our weapons, and I still chose the 95 automatic rifle and Glock G17 pistol, which I am good at.

Shen Hao, a strong guy, is equipped with an M249 machine gun, and he uses an increased two-hundred-round magazine, and the pistol is equipped with a desert/eagle with strong recoil, and it is all fierce guys.

I look at his muscles, not to mention that these two guns are suitable for him.

The North Seven Star is equipped with an MP5A5 and a fully automatic Glock 17 pistol, and the pistol is equipped with a 33-round magazine.

An Beimo didn't need to ask, naturally she chose the 85 sniper rifle, and she chose the pistol Be

etta M92。

The configuration of Hugo is a HK416 assault rifle and an MK25 pistol.

However, An Beimo and I used training guns in the gun store, and the guns of the other three people were customized for them at first glance, although the appearance is roughly the same as what I have seen, but many details seem to have been improved.

We put our weapons on the freight elevator, and we went back to our rooms to change into casual clothes, and then we all gathered in the lobby.

Putting on earbuds and making sure the call was correct, we went out and got into a business van. Shen Hao was in charge of driving, and I sat in the co-pilot next to him.
