56. Falling from the sky
Nandarbat is a place that only exists in the memory of a few.
It is not an exact location, and there is no specific indication on any of the maps of the area, not even a satellite search.
Only in the ancient texts handed down from the Middle Ages, the name is occasionally mentioned, and the prefixes are often "Land of Legends", "Paradise", "Where the Material World and the Void Dimension Meet", and so on.
More often than not, however, Nandarbat is used to refer to a mysterious organization, the League of Assassins.
"If it weren't for the mouth of the ninja master's daughter, the location of the Assassin Alliance's base camp, it would have taken us a long time or two to find this place."
Leo leaned against the bulkhead and said with emotion.
He changed out of his previous hand-made, high-end suit and put on a special combat suit that resembled armor.
Leo and Ms. Siva, along with the recent addition of Bronze Tiger, sit in an MC-130H Combat Claw special operations transport aircraft, each heavily armed.
The three-layer high-strength fiber woven bulletproof armor is coated with a PVD titanium coating on the surface, which can effectively resist physical damage such as slashing and stabbing swords.
The hard shell made of Kevlar protects against small-caliber bullets, and the limbs are free to move around at the joints, and are equipped with gauntlets and knee pads.
In addition to this, there is a pair of black tactical eyepieces, equipped with radio communication headsets, which have built-in miniature night vision devices, and have many functions such as illumination and a zoom telescope.
On the outside of the gaiters of the tactical boots, hung the M9 multi-purpose bayonet, which was improved on the basis of the Buckmaster hunting knife of the Frobis company.
Manufactured in stainless steel, forged by a machine, the cutting edge is locally heat-treated, and can be used as a dagger and field work knife.
Unlike Lady Siwa and Bronze Tiger, who insisted on the principle of martial arts with their bare hands, Leo also had a Browning P-35 pistol, an M8 smoke grenade, and an M7290 flash grenade on his belt.
Compared to the usual light-hearted approach to gangster thugs, they were obviously much more serious in their attitude towards the Assassin League.
After all, it was the largest Assassin organization in the world, with a global footprint and hundreds of years of history.
Even though the ninja master is not away, Nandarbat's own defensive strength and alert level are still not to be underestimated.
"We only have two and a half hours?"
Lady Siva's lips were pursed, and her indifferent eyes were filled with the flames of revenge.
She's been waiting for this moment for too long!
"Yes, the defense system of the Assassin Alliance must be destroyed within this time, otherwise the armed forces that support it will face a more dangerous situation than ours."
Leo thought for a moment, then replied.
He instinctively was wary of Amanda Waller, and after he officially intervened in the Sky Eye Society, the originally happy cooperation took a subtle turn.
"Don't trust the reinforcements of the Eye Society too much, Amanda Waller is not a good Samaritan."
Leo added that the woman was definitely not easy to provoke, and letting go of the death shooter before had already made the other party suspicious.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have deliberately put the task of rescuing Leila Michaels into her own hands, and she also opened a huge bargaining chip for the leader of the suicide squad.
As the proposer of the plan itself, Leo naturally knew very well how much manpower and material resources Tianyan would invest in the establishment of a suicide squad.
Amanda Waller has no reason to give it away!
"Speaking of which, how do you land? It seems that there is no suitable tarmac to be found here. ”
The Bronze Tiger raises a key question.
Below, rolling mountains and valleys, the icy air whipped against the hard cliff walls like whips.
The water vapor condenses into beautiful crystals and turns into countless snowflake particles that fall down, making it feel like a cold world like ice and snow.
"The plane won't land, it's a one-way ticket."
Leo shrugged and replied with a relaxed expression.
"If I didn't understand it wrong, sir, what do you mean, let's skydive?"
Bronze Tiger once again deeply understands what kind of madness is hidden under Leo's gentle face.
The extreme cold outside, combined with the influence and visibility of the air currents, greatly increases the risk index of skydiving!
Even if you are a professionally trained paratrooper, the probability of wanting to complete it is not very high.
"Of course, Nandarbat is between the mountains, and there will definitely be air defense warning equipment such as watchtowers and radars."
Leo said in a natural tone, once the plane broke into the base camp of the Assassin League, who knows if those madmen would use the FIM-92 "Stinger" anti-aircraft missile to knock them down.
"By the way, this time it is still an ultra-low-altitude skydive, because due to the weather and the terrain below, there is definitely no way to reduce the altitude."
Leo and Miss Siwa looked at each other, and with a tacit understanding, they took off an oxygen mask from the bulkhead and put it on their heads.
This is one of the preparations for ultra-low-altitude skydiving, which uses pure oxygen to purify the body and avoid suffering from high-altitude illness.
An hour later, the trio strapped military umbrella bags and the rear hatch slowly opened, creating a downward slope.
"Mr. Turner, you look a little nervous."
Leo said teasingly.
Copper Tiger's swarthy face was a little solemn, presumably he had not yet adapted to this dangerous and exciting life to the fullest.
"The minimum altitude for a normal airplane skydive is 500 meters, while we are 300 meters and land at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, so we have to make sure that we don't make the slightest mistake! Adjust your posture in the air and open your parachute at the right time, that's what you need to remember! ”
Leo restrained his smile and said earnestly.
In military operations, especially in the task of reconnaissance and infiltration behind enemy lines, it is a very commonly used MFF military airborne method, mainly to avoid the threat of ground radar and missiles.
The parachutist jumps out of the cabin from an altitude of 4,500 to 1,000 meters with equipment and opens the parachute after descending to a certain height close to the target area.
This kind of behavior is extremely dangerous, and accidents can occur if you are not careful.
"I'll wait for you down there."
Leo waved his hand backwards and leaped out of the lowered hatch.
"Am I going to live like this crazy day in the future?"
Bronze Tiger looked at Ms. Siva as she walked to the hatch, and the cold air currents outside whistled by.
Clouds of white mist sometimes gather and sometimes disperse, mixed with many cold particles.
"Isn't it good? I love it, and that's why I'm there for him. ”
Ms. Siva smiled back, and fell backwards, straight to the ground.
The speechless bronze tiger took a deep breath and jumped out of the door of the plane, even though he was wearing a paratrooper flight helmet, he could still feel the strong sound of the wind.
"I can hear your rapid breathing, Turner."
In the communication system built into the helmet, Leo's playful laughter could be heard.
He was the first to jump off the plane, like a cannonball smashing into the ground.
At this time, the altitude was almost close to a thousand meters, but Leo did not make any movement to open the parachute.
"I wonder how the League of Assassins will welcome this surprise package delivered to my door!"
The brass tiger followed closely behind Ms. Siva, and they all fell at about the same speed, one in front of the other and one in close proximity.
Both men adjusted their landing positions in the air, keeping their balances in order to be ready to open their parachutes at any time.
This is actually not too difficult for a martial artist.
"Hopefully they'll be a little more welcoming."
Leo's eyes were fixed on the downside, it was already five hundred meters.
He chose a good landing spot, and kept his limbs open and steady.
Three hundred meters!
This is an extremely dangerous height!
It only takes two breaths for the young helmsman of the White family to fall into a puddle of flesh.
