The flight altitude of business aircraft is above that of ordinary civil airliners, generally above 15,000 meters. When Wang Cheng and others parachuted out, although the plane slightly reduced its speed and altitude, in order not to alert the Russian air traffic control system that monitors the flight trajectory, its altitude was still above 15,000 meters at this time.

Skydiving at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters in the polar regions, fortunately, the few people who followed the parachute were not ordinary people, wearing special pressurization suits and breathing apparatus. Therefore, they still have the ability to form a little team in the air and gather the team together as much as possible hand in hand -- this is because the plane flies extremely fast, and can fly more than 10 kilometers in one minute, and if the air team is not concentrated, the parachutists may be scattered within a range of 100 kilometers after landing. And in the icy and snowy polar region, Chapter 326 Polar Assault jumped into the snow alone, and there was no companion for more than 100 kilometers around, so there was almost no possibility of survival.

The rapid landing made the cold wind whistling in everyone's ears, except for the sound of the wind, almost no sound could be heard, when reaching the critical height, the height warning lights on the shoulders of several people flashed and flashed, at this time the sun just jumped out of the ground, the polar sun was very dazzling, with a warm warmth, but not much heat.

As Wang Cheng let go of his hand, several people in the air scattered around, and each opened their parachutes -- it must be said that all the members of the team involved in the operation this time were very good, and after experiencing such a harsh polar high-altitude skydiving, everyone was not separated, and after they left at this moment, they all opened a safe distance, and luckily opened their respective parachutes.

As the parachute opened, the bodies of several people jerked, as if they were a little higher up, but this was only an illusion. This illusion stems from the high speed at which everyone is descending, and suddenly the speed of descent decreases sharply, and it is visually as if the body is rising.

When the speed slows down, the red-haired Kelly notices that her surroundings are white, and the rising sun brings dazzling glare that makes everyone's body seem to melt into the sunlight. As far as the eye can see, in addition to snow or snow, the sky is snowy and bright Chapter 326 Polar Assault, and the earth is snowy. The horizon was also a bright white line, with the occasional few small black dots, which were the only remaining pines in the snow. The pine stood silently, leaving a ripple on the snow that resembled the wind blowing in the desert, and in the endless snow, as far as the eye could see, there was not a single footprint in sight—a man or a beast.

Not far away. Wang Cheng was untying the weapon and equipment box wrapped around his waist, and the equipment box only left Wang Cheng for a few seconds, only to hear a bang, two small white flowers exploded from the box, and two small parachutes fell down with the equipment box. Then, everyone who heard the explosion untied the equipment box in their waists and let it fall by itself. Everyone nervously checked their communication equipment and prepared to land.

The redhead sighed quietly in her heart. knew that Wang Cheng would not tell her the truth before leaving, and this was really not Ukraine. Rather, near Murmansk in the Russian polar regions.

Recall that Ukraine is due east of France, and the planes fly due north as soon as they go...... The redhead immediately simulated the flight path of the plane: first to the North Sea, then to the Arctic Circle, into the Norwegian Sea, and then from the polar Barents Sea to the south, into the Russian polar region. Although it took a long detour, it did not alarm any country along the way, and there were few polar monitoring facilities, even if it was discovered. It's almost impossible to catch up with ......

The international standard parachute speed is an average of 41 meters per second. Athletes skydive from a height of 20,000 meters, with an average duration of eight minutes. But the fall process of parachuting, the longer it lasts in the air, the easier it is to be exposed, so the parachute landing time requirement for commandos is not higher than four minutes, and the shorter the parachute opening time, the better, so Kelly did not think about how long she was in the air. In the blink of an eye, the height of everyone reached a height of two hundred and five meters. At this time, the visual range was about ten miles, and at this moment, at the edge of the visual range, about a mile from the landing point, suddenly a flashing light appeared, and the flashing light only flickered a few times, and before everyone could react, the earth had rushed to the face, and the trees on the ground suddenly became tall and straight.

As they put their feet on the ground, they only vaguely remembered that the flash had occurred in a valley, about eight miles to the east, and that most people had only caught a glimpse of the light out of the corner of their eyes, as the light had been turned on very late, and then the flicker was obscured by the terrain and the nearby sparse forest.

He deliberately - when he landed, the redhead's heart flashed this year: Wang Cheng deliberately did not land at the receiving place.

The parachute descent process was very smooth, and it can even be said that the landing site was carefully calculated, taking into account various factors such as flight speed, wind speed, gravitational offset, and visual error. After landing, everyone walked not far, probably within sight. If this parachute team participates in the competition, it will not be a problem to win the championship...... But the landing site has shifted a little, and if it wasn't intentional, who would believe it?

In the polar snowfields, where the snow is chest-deep, it takes at least half a day to walk on foot in full gear, a distance of miles—that is, when everyone is assembled, they arrive at the agreed place, which happens to be evening.

Kelly quickly threw off the parachute, crawled to find her equipment box, unscrewed the communication contact on her wrist, and the combination lock on the equipment box sensed the digital code of the communicator, and with a ding, the box automatically opened a crack. Kelly grabbed the lid and looked around, and saw another woman of the same sex not far away putting skis on her feet, and she hurriedly lifted the lid to find the skis to put herself on—finally able to walk upright.

After standing up, his vision widened a lot, Wang Chengcheng was not far away, he was stripped naked in the cold wind, and he was putting a layer of Kashmiri cashmere sweater on his body...... Seeing his chest, Kelly's mind couldn't help but flash with such data: more than 30 degrees below zero, exposing skin for seven seconds, and dying of heart paralysis.

Wang Cheng's movements were fast, and in the blink of an eye, he put on a cashmere sweater, and then added another set of white and markinged winter clothes to himself, put on skis, put on a cold hood and gloves, and then began to equip himself with guns and weapons...... Kelly glanced around and noticed that everyone around her was changing their clothes, and even the lady who was traveling with her was not afraid to expose her skin in the cold wind. She hesitated for a few seconds, then gritted her teeth and followed the group.

Rao was moving fast enough that her skin was only exposed for a few seconds before she put on her clothes. She was almost frozen, her hands and feet couldn't feel it at all, her hand holding the gun couldn't hold anything several times, and her heart was beating weakly, causing ischemic dizziness. When she woke up again, she felt that Wang Chengzheng was holding her shoulder, inserting a battery into her waist, and then helping her connect the cold-proof clothing line, and then the heating system of the cold-proof clothing began to start.

When she recovered, Kelly's first thought was: Why don't they feel cold? Is this unreasonable? Not in line with science!

Look around, except for Wang Cheng. The breath exhaled by the rest of the companions was thin and soft. In this weather of more than 30 degrees below zero, the air exhaled from the lungs almost turned into ice cubes on the lips, but those people seemed to have a very low body temperature, and the fog formed by the exhaled air was very light...... The name of a Russian alpine unit immediately popped into Kelly's mind: the Snow Leopard.

In fact, the equipment of Wang Cheng's team is more luxurious than that of the snow leopard, and everyone in the team wears warm and cold-proof suits, and with this electronic cold-proof suit, the soldiers can even wear special bulletproof armor. The electronic communication equipment attached to the snow goggles allows everyone to directly receive satellite signals. Furthermore. The weapons they wear are equipped with thermal jackets, which can ensure that the gun oil is not frozen by the cold, and they can draw their guns at any time to shoot ........., and after their body temperature is restored. Wang Cheng spent half an hour on the whole team: the parachute was buried in the snow; Clothes taken off are also disposed of; Sort out the equipment boxes, pack the remaining weapons and food in two boxes, and bury the rest as usual. Then the three commandos took the lead in opening the way, Wang Cheng was in the center, Lily and Wang Cheng were in parallel, the clown was slightly behind the two, and Kelly was broken.

Everyone is located in the polar sparse forest, where every tree gathers about 100 meters, but every tree is very tall and reaches into the sky. There are few shrubs in the open forest. There are also very few young and low trees, and there is almost no animal activity in such a cold winter. There was no wind around, but the mouth and nose exposed to the air still felt the pain of the wind-blown knife, and every minute and every second, the cold was quickly taking away every trace of heat from the body. Although everyone had skis under their feet, they had to exert all their strength with every step. So much so that the pace of progress is very slow. By noon, they had only walked three miles, and there was still more than half the way left.

Although I was active, my body was slightly sweaty, but my feet gradually became numb and cold, so when I rested at noon, everyone invariably raised the temperature of my shoes. After eating a few pieces of chocolate and drinking a cup of hot cocoa from the heating system, the lily in the team tested the ambient temperature, shook his head and said: "The heat loss is too great, and the infrared monitoring distance is only a few meters away, which is not suitable for the release of unmanned aircraft." ”

"Let's release it", Wang Cheng replied without hesitation: "Then you don't need infrared monitoring, only use visual contrast for photography?" ”

Lily immediately crouched down and began assembling the drone. Only at this time can we appreciate the superiority of the Russian-made unmanned reconnaissance plane -- the severe cold forces the engine oil to freeze, and although the US-made Global Hawk has many advantages, in this vast white snowy field, the fast flight speed is not an advantage, but because it flies by, it is impossible to see the reconnaissance target clearly. At the same time, the slow-moving, similar to the miniature version of the main fighter of "Avatar", the suspended reconnaissance aircraft just meets everyone's requirements.

This Russian-made unmanned reconnaissance aircraft carries a four-barreled Gatling gun, but unfortunately it carries only a few hundred rounds of ammunition. It can carry two miniature missiles, but if it is fully loaded, the missile cannot be retrofitted...... These parts are all assembled together and weigh about 100 kilograms. When Lily was assembling it, the male team members were scattered around to stand on guard, but Kelly saw that the other party was also a woman and consciously rushed over to help. She lowered her voice and asked, "Why are you so obedient?" This drone is a million-dollar ...... In such cold weather, if you want to detect it, you have to reduce the flight altitude. The surrounding trees are so tall that they are not afraid of crashing into trees and destroying them even if they fly low? ”

In fact, what Kelly wants to ask is: What the hell is this mission? How can it be so mysterious...... Oh, I didn't have time to ask for payment before I left.

Lily shook her head softly, and said with a quick sign language: "We are very short on time, and this mission is not ...... Commissioned by the company, we had to complete the task and return within three days. ”

Immediately, Lily took a few steps out of the way and started the drone to fly into the sky. Almost at the same time as the unmanned aircraft took off, Wang Cheng stood up and ordered: "The second group will open the road, and after the first group is broken, let's go." ”

The first group of members were the three commandos, and now it was Wang Cheng, Kelly, and Joker who were leading the way, and Lily was still walking in the middle of the group. Kelly hesitated a few steps, and after Wang Cheng consciously walked forward, she took the opportunity to advance side by side with Lily, watching Lily tie the miniature video screen to her wrist. She asked cautiously in French, "Are you ...... The director of this play, or the scene reporter, or the drama manager? ”

Lily still didn't speak, and replied in sign language: "I'm not a scene reporter or a director, I'm nothing." Just a stuntman. ..., but ...... Probably dumb. Kelly immediately changed to Russian and asked, "You...... You must be the female assistant on the left, right? I vaguely know you, I heard that you did a one-year mission in Russia with your left hand? ”

Among the team members, Lily carries the least weight, carrying almost only her own food and several kilograms of electronic communication equipment. The rest of the people were carrying small mountain-like backpacks and had a very difficult walk. Kelly was in the middle of the line, in this position. Drag the two final boxes forward. Lily walked very easily, although Kelly dragged a hundred and ten kilograms of things, but because she was on the snow and this hot girl had good physical strength, she could keep up with Lily's speed, and she had the leisure to inquire.

Lily gestured quickly: "You probably ...... I beg your pardon, I think you've forgotten about company discipline and you've asked questions you shouldn't know...... No. Don't speak, listen to me: I've been entrusted to tell you that we're a strange combination. No one wants to divulge the existence of this group - including the Sunbirds. Do you understand? ”

Kelly nodded slightly: "What you mean is that you have been entrusted to tell me that this is a very strange cooperative group, and it is best for me not to know anything about the situation of this team and not ask anything." If anyone asks, even if it is from the internal inspection department of Sunbird Corporation, I have the right to remain silent without Mr. Thirteen's permission...... Yes, I see! ”

Lily raised her wrist to look at the display screen and added in sign language: "Yes." That's what I mean - there is no cross-company cooperation within the 12th Alliance, and there may be a short period of negotiation, but that's for the sake of unblocking the pipeline. In this way, the members of the two companies were selected to form a separate group, which was the first attempt within the alliance. Once this news is leaked, you should know the consequences...... In addition, I have been commanded to tell you that your reward will be very good. Enough to keep you satisfied. From now on, though, you're just part of the team. ”

"Understood!" Kelly took a deep breath: "Your man should have said that a long time ago, and I felt better if I said it earlier." ”

Lily did not refute Kelly's statement, she rang the communication light and began to call Wang Cheng - in this snowfield, everyone speaks very softly, and only uses lights to communicate with each other, and it is very dangerous to speak like Kelly did just now, not to mention that the sound of the air jet will take away a lot of heat energy, so the biggest danger of talking is to cause an avalanche.

Avalanche is not just a snow falling from a mountain, the vast snowfield seems to be flat, but in many places the snow is tens of meters deep. Flat avalanches are caused by sudden deep gullies and ground collapses, and there is often a thin layer of loose snow on the surface of such avalanches, which is more dangerous than landslides if you step on them.

Kylie isn't stupid, she's just an extrovert. Lily repeatedly did not open her mouth to answer, as an experienced veteran, she already knew that she had violated the rules of snow whereabouts, but she still spoke, because she wanted Wang Cheng in front of her to hear it.

There was no wind in the polar region, and everyone walked quietly on the snow, only the snow under their feet was trampled on the squeak, and Kelly's words spread far away in the snowfield, not only for Wang Cheng to hear, but also for the three commandos after the tail drop. They all heard Kelly mention the term "Mr. Thirteen," but none of them were surprised or slightly surprised...... This made Kelly quietly relieved: Mom, I wasn't trafficked. They belong to the "Thirteen Angels".

However, Lily's words worked after all, and the same words were more convincing at this time. Kylie was convinced, and she dragged the gear box two steps away, no longer dwelling on the details.

There is another rule for snowwalking: no turning back. Because everyone has to exhaust a lot of strength every step forward, so Wang Cheng received a call from Lily, just stayed in place, waiting for Lily to catch up, and after Lily caught up with him, the broken team members spontaneously issued a warning circle, and then under Wang Cheng's signal, turned on the communication video on their wrists, everything that the reconnaissance plane saw, and at the same time transmitted to the individual. ..., at this time, the entire "Thirteen Angels Group" was distributed with arrows, Wang Cheng was in sharp edge, the clown chased after slightly, the middle part was Lily and Kelly, and the three commandos were slightly staggered at the tail end, forming arrow feathers. The seven men were dressed in white speckled winter suits, with large hoods on their heads, and on their chests were cold-proof cloaks of the same white texture, under which their weapons were hidden. After standing still, a few people seemed to be a few snow-covered wooden stakes on the snow, and the slight black spots on their bodies were like moss on the snow, except for the slightly flickering fluorescent screen, there was almost no difference from the surrounding snowfield.

What appeared on the screen was the valley that had just flickered, and the valley was slightly concave in the surrounding environment. Through the lens, you can also see several black and shiny objects on the snow, but half a day has passed, and these black and shiny metal lamps have been half-buried in the snow, and only a few corners are exposed.

The valley was quiet, as if the flashing lights had never happened, but if you looked closely, there seemed to be a few bulges in the valley, and these bulges were still white and completely consistent with the surrounding environment, so it was impossible to distinguish the height of their bulges. Even because of the aurora jumping on the snow, they couldn't tell their size, everyone looked carefully for a moment, and Wang Cheng made a judgment: "It's them: a helicopter and a snow armored car." ”

Wang Cheng used the lights to flicker the signal, and Kelly immediately followed up and fulfilled her role: "Such a big snowfield...... The search is centered on a circle of 500 meters. ”

Wang Cheng added without hesitation: "That's it - we have encountered too many decoy operations, searching for surrounding movements, turning on infrared, and reducing the altitude of the drone......"

As soon as he said that, a flash of light suddenly appeared on the snow, and then the image from the video intercom disappeared - the drone's camera was destroyed at close range!!!
