Chapter 9: Waiting for the Rabbit

In the gradually darkening sky, in the increasingly gloomy primeval jungle, against the north-south direction of the snow-capped mountains meltwater converged to form the skirt of the river, the mercenary captain took the lead, and the assassins cruising beside him using mimicry paint stealth to advance in the light and dark. More than 500 meters behind the captain, the observer remotely controlled the drone flying silently and stealthily over the forest, carefully observing any possible abnormalities in the forest. Beside the observers, large firemen with mortars on their backs and heavy machine guns carefully stood on guard, ready for powerful and accurate fire delivery. At the back of the team, the lone sniper walks the high slopes of the hill like a ghost, equipped with a flame thruster that allows the sniper to jump up a cliff tens of meters high in an instant to occupy the commanding heights of sniping.

Although there are only five mercenaries, this well-trained team of mercenary robots forms a triangular formation that relies on each other, and if either side is attacked, the other two will support them immediately or at short notice!

With the continuous increase in the concentration of sewage in the skirt horn river, the distance between the five mercenary robots and the skirt horn mountain is getting closer and closer. And after the observer used a drone to discover several snowy mountains at the source of the river, the destination of the trip seemed to be certain!

Therefore, the captain of the assault team has developed a tactic and used himself as a bait to lure the enemy who may be lurking in the shadows to sneak attack!

However, to the surprise of these mercenary robots, they didn't encounter a sneak attack by clones along the way, as if the clone gathering point at the destination had already been empty!

Along the way, the water quality was checked at intervals, and finally in the skirt horn river on the edge of a jungle high ground two kilometers away from the skirt snow mountain, the assault man who was the captain found the sewage outlet that he had been searching for!

Although the sewage has been treated before it is discharged, it still cannot escape the detection of testing instruments! Once you've found the outfall, the next thing to do is to go back against the outfall and enter it!

"Captain, are we being too cautious in doing this?" The bored observer looked at the four rookie mercenary robots sitting around a bare hill playing poker at the end of the field of vision, and in his boredom, he wanted to let the equally idle firefighters fire a large-caliber mortar shell in that direction.

"Looking at the four of them rookie mercenaries, I couldn't help but think back to myself when I first consciously pushed ten years ago. Hey, the carefree youth is gone! The observer sighed in the team's communication channel.

"Don't talk nonsense in the emergency communication channel, go to the public channel in the team!" The captain scolded angrily.

"Bet, I'm betting that the four of them haven't noticed the big chameleon passing by not far behind them!" Looking at the video shared by the observer, the fireman said with a smile.

"I don't gamble, I want to concentrate." A sniper lurking on a hill in the distance refuses to gamble.

"Cut, you're just afraid of losing, I bet they won't find out until the chameleon is within five meters!" The observer dismissed it with disdain, glancing at the LCD screen on his right arm, still finding no suspicious target.

"Don't bet, observer, come over to me, use your mechanical gecko to check inside the pipe mouth!" The captain's order caused the observer and the fireman beside him to give up their boring gambling and hurried towards the captain's location.

Because it is located upstream, only less than 20 meters wide, the water of the skirt is relatively turbulent. Lurking at the bottom of the river, the liquid metal robot with a height of 3.5 meters is perfectly integrated with the surrounding environment because of the high-grade mimic coating applied to the surface!

Hidden behind an underwater reef, Wu Tian quietly waited for the arrival of the enemy. Originally, the exit of this base did not discharge sewage to the outside, but only to mislead the mercenary robots, a small amount of sewage was temporarily discharged. With the attraction of this sewage outlet, Wu Tian will be able to wait for the rabbit. And it is precisely because of the existence of this sewage outlet that the real sewage outlet is hidden. What's more, after discovering the other party's tracking method, the real sewage outlet of the skirt snow mountain base immediately stopped discharging pollutants to the outside world! In addition, Wu Tian has obtained the entrance detonation controller near this exit. As long as Wu Tian pressed his finger, the big explosion in the entrance would completely seal this entrance!

It's just that if you want the other party to enter, you must hide from the pathfinder robot sent by the other party in advance. For this team of mercenary robots, it's the pathfinder mechanical gecko.

"Captain, there is an electromagnetic interference device inside the sewage outlet, and the search distance of the mechanical gecko is only twenty meters!" The observer who was remotely piloting the mechanical gecko reported to the captain.

Although the robot has no eyebrows, the captain's consciousness at this moment must want to make a frowning and thinking action. After a moment's silence, the captain quietly asked the Assassin on the emergency communication channel, "What do you think?" ”

"I can sneak in and dismantle the EMI, but I'm not sure I'll make it out alive." The Assassin replied.

If it were a real adventure, if it was a real adventure, with the Assassin's answer as a reference, the captain would probably give up the idea of letting the Assassin infiltrate. However, even if the mercenary's robot body is destroyed, it will not suffer irreparable damage. What's more, the Assassin's style is certainly cautious, but there is a famous saying, "The moment I set foot on the battlefield, I am ready to die." "Yes, the Assassins never guarantee that they will leave the battlefield alive! Just like a doctor, a doctor never assures a patient that he or she will be cured! Because there is one thing in this world that cannot be predicted, and that is accidents!

"Alright, there you go!" The captain automatically ignored the second half of the assassin's sentence and said directly. It's not that the captain is reckless, it's that only the stealthy Assassin in the team has the best chance of disarming the electromagnetic interference device near the sewage outlet without triggering the alarm! Only by breaking the electromagnetic interference device not far from the sewage outlet can the mechanical gecko be able to explore more deeply. In a position very close to the enemy's gathering place, there is a risk that the enemy will detect it once the search is launched. Unless you want to abandon the sneak attack tactics that are more beneficial to your side and choose to fight head-on, you can only send someone to risk sneaking in!

Sticking to the riverbed without moving, Wu Tian didn't dare to make any movements. Once the water flow is disturbed, the touch sensor on the other party's body may find the abnormality of Wu Tian's location, and then it will really be wasted! As for how Wu Tian discovered the assassin? Of course, it was the abnormal current that the assassin had held up outwards when he entered the water!
