"Yes! No problem! Please rest assured that the secrecy will be in place, and our actions will never be discovered by anyone. Got it! This recovery task is extremely important, and I will personally lead the team to ensure that there are no mistakes and resolutely complete the task! With a beep, he turned off the holographic projection communication device in front of him, and Colonel Liu Liguo, who was sitting on the chair at the moment, frowned, and instantly fell into contemplation like a deflated ball. I kept thinking back to the huge price paid by this extremely young unit in order to complete the various secret recovery missions so far! With a wry smile on his face, he looked at the dense lines of names on the list of dead and missing people next to him, and Colonel Liu, who was very depressed in his heart, really didn't want to recall the tragic situation of those young soldiers in the video after they were wiped out in ashes and had no corpses. But in order to avoid missing something fatal from the operational safety guidelines obtained from the bloody lessons of many previous operations, he still had to bear the great pain of the knife again before he was ready to leave.

"Please enter the permission password! The password is correct, please select the file type. Top Secret File, No. S210, is allowed to be read for confirmation. Ten minutes later, with the sound of a beep personal terminal shutting down, in "Hey! After a long sigh and a hard puff on the big cigar, he was a little hesitant and shaken in his heart, but he still gave the order to strike again very reluctantly. After all, even if he knew that the danger of this operation was only a lot more, but the military order was like a mountain, and the reason why the officials and universities were crushing people to death was in front of them, even if they didn't approve of it, it would be useless.

Half an hour later, two kilometers away from the scene of the 16th Apostle in the Third Tokyo City, a large military transport plane of a certain model that had been specially modified to be physically invisible for a long time. At this moment, Colonel Liu Liguo, who was dressed in a fully enclosed chemical protective suit, looked at these young and unfamiliar new faces sitting beside him who had no actual combat experience, and heard the crisp prompt sound of the emptying of the nanorobot device that was scattered as the final means of cleaning.

It's also ridiculous to think that the conductor even personally participated in so many missions. It seems that except for the secret recovery operation of the Bird, Angel and Langnukis Gun in outer space, which went most smoothly and did not have any accidents that were not planned by Shenma, almost all the special operations carried out on Earth have suffered huge losses and casualties of various professional equipment and personnel to varying degrees. Especially the third apostle water angel, due to the first inexperience, miscalculated the power of the destruction beam fired by the target's eye, as a result, many squads of fighters responsible for close surveillance, collection of tissue samples, and data collection were directly vaporized by a huge pillar of light with a somewhat pink light after struggling to avoid various secondary disasters caused by the crazy battle between the two monsters in the city on the dark streets at night. In the end, it was even so miserable that the agents in charge of covering up the traces in the later stage searched for most of the day, but they did not even find a single residue.

Of course, compared to the extenuating first time, the next few actions after learning the lesson were relatively perfect. However, this has also led to a new problem, that is, the wear and tear of various high-cost special machinery and equipment has increased by tens or hundreds of times. And when it came to the Sixth Apostle Fish Angel, in order to obtain first-hand information, thousands of special mechanical fish equipped with a full set of high-end collection, detection, and collection equipment were scrapped in one go, and even stealth ultra-high-speed cruising with a total value no less than that of the Akula submarine!

However, this kind of recovery mode, which was quite effective despite the loss of attrition, was quickly broken in the following mission to the Eighth Apostle in the crater. Due to the short time and heavy tasks at that time, the inspection of some of the key pressure-resistant housings was too perfunctory. As a result, the three special search boats that participated in the previous mission with a lot of personnel on board were completely lost forever in the continuous flow of hot magma.

But then again, not every action is a loss-making deal that outweighs the losses. Taking advantage of the power outage during the Ninth Apostle's invasion, an elite infiltration team with a special mission successfully infiltrated and stole a key resin-wrapped item from a human completion plan provided by intelligence officers, with the help of a complete version of the NERV headquarters in Tokyo City. Moreover, the mechanical insects scattered in this top-secret operation and the more stealthy nanobots also provided a lot of convenience for the capture of the precious genes of the Eleventh Apostle in the laboratory and the perfect conduct of the final battle.

"Boom!" With the eerie image of the previous pregnancy-like machine zero and the apostle about to merge, it quickly destroyed and disintegrated in a huge explosion that caused a reverse change for unknown reasons. Colonel Liu Liguo, who had been waiting in the sky not far away for a long time, raced against time to start calibrating the time and quickly completed the task assignment of each squad before everyone could recover from the fear and shock caused by the shaking of the air flow caused by the huge explosion.

"Team 1 is tasked with searching the red areas marked on the map. The second squad is in charge of the green zone. The third team was led by me to search the blue zone.

You rookies don't want to watch it, if you don't want to die, listen to me carefully! The primary and secondary targets of this special mission are displayed on the PDA on the wrist, and the biodetection equipment you are carrying can be collected and retrieved immediately without asking for instructions once it is found!

Also, remember that we are running out of time, and once we exceed the maximum time limit, the risk of leaks and operational failures will multiply exponentially! In terms of rear technical support, although the falsification of false images of space satellites can be sustained, once NERV recovery personnel arrive at the scene to confirm the processing operation, then in order to prevent the traces from being discovered, all personnel must reach the nearest designated teleportation and evacuation point before entering the absolute security range. If you fail to arrive within the allotted time, for whatever reason, the operation will be kept strictly confidential. Your ultimate fate is to be completely broken into carbs by the mass of nanobots that have just been scattered across this vast area, and there is no second possibility! So if you don't want to be left with no bones, give me a little smart, and it's good to complete the task! But if it's too late, don't give your life in vain! ”

"Toot!" Guided by the flashing red lights on both sides of the cabin, more than 30 soldiers carrying individual jet jet backpacks jumped from the open hatch at the tail of the plane in turn according to the order of departure of the squad.

At the same time, this extremely obvious scene was playing out in the sky over the city of Third New Tokyo, which had already been bombed and was full of craters like the surface of the moon. The slightest tremor on the large screen in the command center of the NERV underground headquarters, which could be said to have seamless all-round monitoring capabilities, also made this obviously swaggering action disappear from reality.

The search lasted about half an hour, and the three teams were unable to locate the main target of the operation due to the large area of debris thrown. However, just as the NERV personnel in charge of the recovery mission were about to arrive, the second team in charge of searching the south finally found the key to the operation with the life signal that had almost disappeared from the detection equipment.

"Report Colonel! We've just found the remains of the plug insert in Green D13! However, according to the current conditions, it is almost impossible for us to bring it back alive without leaking! According to the radar, there are still 8 minutes and 45 seconds left before the final leak limit, could you please instruct us on what we should do next? ”

At this moment, as the number of people who had to be evacuated on the PDA was gradually approaching, and Colonel Liu Liguo, who had not been able to find a very small number of biological components of the Sixteenth Apostle with great effort, had a headache about how to deal with the above, this good news suddenly made his depressed and tangled mood better. But soon his mind calmed down a little, and he began to worry about how to get the target of the human tissues and organs in the picture that had already rotted into paste alive and get on the plane. But soon, someone who was thinking about it quickly came up with a method that might work, and although it was extremely risky, it was too much to care about.

"I order you to disassemble the locator and install it evenly on that wreckage, and then rush to the evacuation point in the area where the first team is located within seven minutes and leave together."

"But sir! According to the scheme provided by the autopilot system, we are almost five kilometers away from the optimal distance of the evacuation point in Sector 1, and the energy in the backpack is almost exhausted by the search, and it is impossible to reach the target on time even if we run forward at the speed of the march! In the face of all kinds of squeaky and whining subordinates who refused to carry out orders, Colonel Liu Liguo, who had already heard the unspoken meaning at this moment, was furious, and almost wanted to shoot this lieutenant who was greedy for life and afraid of death and did not want to take a little risk. But in order to take care of the overall situation, he still endured it and did not have a seizure on the spot. After all, it's the completion of the task that matters, and other minor things can be said slowly.

"You rookie egg, where did you get so much nonsense! Am I going to let my subordinates carry out a mission to the death? If you can't get there, it only means that you are stupid, can't you live without the automatic navigation system!? Although there is not enough energy left to fly five kilometers, won't you fly from the middle of the lake and run over it in ten seconds! ”
