Chapter 591: Into the Dead Sea
Staying in her own room, looking at her delicate face in the mirror, Eliam wiped off the ladylike look on her face with cleansing oil, revealing a trace of exhaustion.
In the past few days, she has been giving various interviews non-stop, participating in speeches at major colleges and universities, and repeating her campaign ideas over and over again. And now, the election has come to an end, and it will be over in four days.
And the real battle is only now begining, and Illian knows better than anyone that this national election campaign is a well-arranged performance, even if she is an idiot and doesn't say a word, she can successfully gain the support of the whole people.
But the hardest part is how to enter the Dead Sea area, recover the lost Earth Code, and complete the constitutionally mandated process of the national election.
"I can do it, I have to do it." Ilian said firmly.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the room, and Apollo asked softly. "Lord Elion, are you ready?"
"Can't wait." Ilian got up and opened the door, taking off her dress and changing into a tight-fitting combat suit.
"You look in good spirits." Apollo smiled.
"We have to pick ourselves up, and now we have to do everything on our own." Elion took a deep breath.
"Come with me and show you what else you can rely on."
Apollo led the way out, walked through the long corridor, and came to the lawn in the center of Washington, D.C., where Zhang Lan once lived, but now, the Imperial Group has become a base for preparing to go to the Dead Sea.
Apollo took Illian to an armament warehouse, where everything she needed to get ready for the trip was being made, and 60 special operations men from Sunset were counting their guns.
There is no shortage of high-performance, cutting-edge weapons, no matter which group, but the guy in their hands is actually using the most extensive gunpowder standard firearm in the 20th century, the classic AK series assault rifle.
None of the electronically aided sights, ballistic trajectory calculators, are mounted on the gun, except for mechanical sights, and are equipped with a maximum of a 4x optical sight.
Considering the complex electromagnetic environment of the Dead Sea and the threat of sandstorms at any time, it is impossible to use too high-end weapons in the Dead Sea, but the equipment of the 20th century, specially designed for anti-terrorism, is more practical.
For example, off-road Humvee military vehicles that use gasoline as fuel and fire heavy machine guns are the most practical equipment.
"Lord Elian, I am ordered by Chairman Mark to escort you to the Dead Sea to retrieve the Earth Code, this trip will also be expected by the group of people in the federal government, it is very likely to be attacked, I need you to promise me, no matter what happens, listen to my arrangement, at any time, you must follow the guards and act quickly." Apollo said with all seriousness.
"Are you worried about an ambush? However, the federal government's military strength is almost all decoration, and there is no actual combat capability at all. Ilian wondered.
"When Mark tells me everything, it should be clear to you, what we're going to face isn't the Federal Guards? Rather, he is the guardian of the gods. I don't know what he's capable of or how he's going to handle this crisis, but one thing I know for sure is that you can't die and you won't die because that's the mission Mark gave me. ”
As Apollo spoke, he picked up his NS twin swords from the table next to him and carried them behind his waist.
"I promise you that everything is up to you." Iliann nodded.
Later, Apollo asks Irian to wear bulky body armor inlaid with old-fashioned ceramic tiles, and the only sophisticated equipment for all of them is presumably a complex computer system sealed and strapped to his arm.
Made of Odin metal steel, it is resistant to all electromagnetic interference and magnetic field influences, and can be easily calculated and ensure communication capabilities within 10 kilometers, and is also the only external signal source.
It can be used as a black box tied to the arm, and if you die, you can rely on it to find the location of the body.
The total travel team consists of 65 people, divided into 20 vehicles, most of which are Humvee off-road jeeps armed to the teeth, together with 3 supply vehicles and 1 large medical vehicle, which can ensure that this group of people can survive for at least 30 days without supplies at all.
Given the chaotic magnetic situation in the Dead Sea, they carried a large number of signal generators, the size of grenades, that could be thrown along the way to clearly mark the source of these signals on everyone's black box system.
So even if you get lost, as long as you can find the signal source, you still have a chance to meet with everyone, and you can find your way back.
These signal sources are particularly releitive, and can be clearly received even 1 kilometer underground by sandstorms. Even with this level of preparation, this trip to the Dead Sea is still a lot of bad luck.
After making sure that everything was ready, the convoy accelerated along the road out of town, and the outdated diesel engine drove all the way to the west of the road out of town with a characteristic roar.
The Dead Sea area is about 6 hours away from Washington, D.C., and the wilderness is the outskirts of the wilderness, where wild beasts emerge one after another, and it is a dangerous proposition to enter the Dead Sea.
The Dead Sea, formerly known as Las Vegas City, the famous entertainment territory of the Imperial Bloc. When it was popular all over the world, there was no such thing as Anle Pavilion, which was a collection of the world's most unbridled pleasures, and it was also a paradise for the skin and meat trade.
In response to the changing environment, Las Vegas, a desert city, has built high walls to prepare for attacks from wild beasts. But what the world didn't expect was that it wasn't a beast that attacked the area, but the largest sandstorm in human history!
About 400 years ago, a huge tornado formation formed directly from the black clouds, and more than 100 tornado eyes of various sizes existed throughout the desert at the same time. The cyan electric currents traveled through the storm at 1,700 times per minute, destroying all resistance that human civilization had built up for.
The sand, carrying radioactive material from the black cloud, swept over the city of Las Vegas, and people who realized something was wrong began to flee, but only 1% survived.
Later, scientific expeditions and rescue teams from all over the world entered the Dead Sea region almost every year, but no one ever came out at full capacity. The purpose of their entry was to investigate the ecology of the Dead Sea area; 2 All for the sake of the Code of the Earth.
This is a historical artifact that was displayed in Las Vegas at the time, but unfortunately it was sealed here forever due to the sudden Dead Sea storm.
No one can get close to the city alive, because even today, terrifying tornadoes can form at any time, and the radioactive sand can be accelerated like bullets, shattering any kind of body armor and making your corpse look like a sieve.
Although all the equipment of the convoy led by Apollo is now specially treated, the sand can still kill them in minutes.
Now, Elian could only pray silently that she could go in alive and come out alive.
