Chapter 22: Return to Base
On one side of the confrontation is the members of the escort team who were almost completely wiped out in a daze, of course, they are in a bad mood, and although the special forces on the other side have successfully saved the nanoworm warhead, they are also upset because they have escaped from a major enemy and have not caught the information of the forces behind the scenes, and the result is that you let me put down the gun and I will let you put down the box and make a noise.
Just as Jing Tian was bored watching the excitement on the side, a black escort suddenly jumped out from behind a tree not far away, pointed a gun at the red-haired woman, and shouted, "Don't move!" ”
Seeing that everyone turned their eyes, the black escort finally asked a more valuable question: "Which unit are you from?" ”
"Can't tell." The redhead shrugged: "This is also a military secret, and if you say it, you will be driven out." ”
"I don't care." The black escort raised his rifle in his hand: "Now we are the superior side, please answer the question honestly." ”
Seeing this, the escort carrying the bullet box also raised his rifle in his hand, agreeing with his teammate's words.
With a bang, the snake eye suddenly appeared next to the black escort team, put the knife on the opponent's neck, and at the same time flickered out from the side, and when passing by the black man, a hand suddenly waved, and the rifle in the black man's hand suddenly fell apart, and all parts fell to the ground, and finally only the gun handle was still in the other party's hand......
"Uh......" The black man looked down at the gun in his hand, grinned dryly, and raised his hands.
"All gone?" Jing Tian asked the flicker who walked up to him.
"Yes." Flickering nodded, and then stood behind Jing Tian like a bodyguard, glanced at everyone at the scene, and then withdrew his gaze, as if there was nothing wrong with him here.
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment, except for the circuit breaker muttering something to the headset.
Soon, the circuit breaker stepped forward, took out a metal pole from his waist bag, and said to the escort team carrying the box: "Wait a minute, someone wants to talk to you face to face." ”
Come to the open space between the two sides of the confrontation. The circuit breaker crouched down and forcefully inserted the metal pole into the ground, and then drummed twice on the electronic components at the top of the metal pole, and suddenly a bright light appeared, and then the rays emitted from the top of the metal pole and finally projected into a virtual image of General Hawke.
"Declare your name and rank!" General Hawke turned his head to look at the crowd and ordered directly to the escort carrying the box.
"You report first!" Not to be outdone, the escort asked rhetorically.
"Listen boy, our people just saved your little life, and now it's time for you to say thank you!" General Hawke said with his hands on his waist and tilting his head slightly.
"That's not what I want to say right now, listen! I haven't received any message that there will be support for this operation! The escort still said strongly: "So no one knows if you are acting in a gang with the people who attacked me, if you want to talk, let your people put down their guns first!" ”
"And let me go!" The black escort over there took the opportunity to interject.
There was a sudden ripple next to General Hawke's image, and the virtual image of his secretary appeared and handed him a text.
General Hawke took Wen Jiàn in his hand and looked at it, then squinted at the black escort: "Okay, open the parachute?" ”
"Uh...... How do you know me? ”
General Hawke did not answer. Directly read the message on the text: "Outstanding gunner, ranked second in your battalion shooting, weapons expert...... Hold a jet license? ”
The two escorts also understood at this time, and it was obvious that the other party was holding their files, and it seemed that these were their own people.
"And you, Duke." General Hawke said to the escort carrying the suitcase, "I think you've probably heard of me, I'm Clayton. General Ebernathy. ”
"General Hawke?" The escort with the warhead box codenamed Duke said in surprise: "Afghanistan, NATO front-line commander? ”
"yes, that was my last job." General Hawke said, gesturing to the clothes on his body: "I'm wearing a different uniform now. ”
At this moment, General Hawke raised his hand and swung his two fingers forward. The circuit breaker behind him immediately walked up with a piece of equipment.
"Relax boy, let him turn off the tracker of the box, you don't want to continue to be hunted by the enemy, do you?" General Hawke reassured, and after the circuit breaker had finished scanning the box with a device and nodded his head back, General Hawke continued, "Alright. We'll take over the rest of the task. ”
"Nope! I accepted the task, and as long as I didn't die, no one would try to take the box from me! The Duke knew with a clear mind that it was his own people in front of him, and it was impossible to make a move against him.
First, the escort team led by the Duke has been completely wiped out, and if you return to the army, I am afraid that you will have to accept punishment and start with the big soldiers, and secondly, the team in front of you is relatively high-end in terms of equipment and ability. The Duke couldn't help but think carefully about joining in to avoid the punishment of mission failure, and of course, he also wanted to rely on this army to avenge the death of his comrades.
General Hawke didn't know that the other party had turned so much in an instant, and after listening to the duke's words, he nodded appreciatively and said, "Okay boy." So it seems that you are short of transportation now, do you want to take a ride? ”
The duke curled the corners of his mouth imperceptibly when he heard this, and he got carried away for a moment because of the success of the plan, and instead of mentioning the task of continuing to escort the box to the target location, he asked General Hawke, "So where are your location coordinates?" Sir. ”
"See for yourself." General Hawke said as he turned off the virtual image, making himself look mysterious.
At this time, the duke finally let go of the grab, and said to everyone: "Okay, how do we go?" ”
The redhead and the others glanced at each other, and raised their chins with a heavy load: "Keep up, boy." ”
The Duke stepped over to his companion's parachute rope and grabbed a friend with an injured leg, and the two looked at each other and quickly followed.
Jing Tian and Flickering didn't move, and when the Duke and the Umbrella Rope passed by, Jing Tian curled the corners of his mouth and whispered, "Sir? ”
The Duke paused for a moment, and then continued to chase after him as if he had not heard......
"Tut-tut......" Jing Tian shook his head, then turned his head to look at the battlefield just now, and after releasing his divine sense, he thought that all the pulse guns scattered on the ground by the attacking enemy were remotely collected into the space, and he didn't know if the people in the special squad didn't care about this high-end weapon or forgot about it.
The group came to the plane and boarded the plane one by one, and with the shock of the fuselage, the plane slowly rose vertically, and then flew away in the direction of Egypt.
After flying out of Kyrgyzstan's airspace, everyone completely relaxed, and Heavy Load stood up and began to take off the special operations uniform on his body, and said in a loud voice: "Alert is eliminated!" ”
"Whew......" The redhead and the others breathed a sigh of relief. They relaxed and began to remove the heavy equipment from their bodies.
Jing Tian sat next to the redhead, and when he saw the other party take off his tight combat jacket to reveal the tighter half-length vest inside, Jing Tian couldn't help but whistle when he looked at the snow-white hemisphere that was constantly shaking like a water balloon.
The redhead turned her head to stare at Jing Tian, continued to take off her shirt completely, rolled her eyes, and got up to walk towards the injured umbrella rope next to her.
The circuit breaker sitting opposite saw this scene in his eyes, and smiled at Jing Tian a little playfully: "What? Got an idea? ”
"Just teasing her." Jing Tian chuckled and shook his head.
"Come on." Circuit Breaker was visibly unconvinced: "It's nothing, we're all losers, and the redhead isn't that easy to win, unless you can prove to be stronger and smarter than her, and just graduating from college at the age of twelve is going to knock us all out." ”
Jing Tian did not continue the topic when he heard this. Instead, he looked at the circuit breaker a little strangely and said, "Anyway, how did your attitude towards me change?" When will you be able to laugh at me as easily as my own? ”
"Hey man." The circuit breaker glanced at the silent flickering and said to Jing Tian: "You know, to put it mildly, we are the top soldiers in the world, and I didn't think you had any ability to be alienated from you before, but now that I know your strength, of course you can talk." ”
"What did you do?" Jing Tian turned his head to Flicker and asked.
"Three shots!" The heavy load standing next to him to pack up his equipment interjected before the flashing opening: "Three shots from a distance eliminated three enemies, and the shot hit the helmet in the eye." ”
Heavy Load's eyes flickered with fiery eyes: "That kind of distance can only be achieved with a sniper rifle if we don't need an auxiliary electronic scope, at least in terms of shooting." ”
The redhead who was opening the umbrella rope to check the wound turned her head and glanced at Jing Tian strangely, but she saw that Jing Tian threw him behind and killed an enemy without looking back. I secretly wondered if Jing Tian's gun was intentional at that time? If that's the case, then this squinting guy is even more terrifying.
The redhead thought about it and turned back to continue checking on the Zipline's injuries, only to turn around to see the Zipline staring at her chest with wide eyes.
"Another bastard!" The redhead scolded and beckoned to Snake Eye and began to prepare for treatment, the movements in her hand increased slightly because of the anger in her heart, but because of the force of her arm, she moved her body, making the two semicircles exposed on the redhead's chest shake even more agitated......
The parachute cord over there inherited the black man's broken mouth. Not only did he talk to the redhead and snake eyes, but he also wanted to touch the short hair on the top of the head of the heavy load who was squatting in the aisle to sort out the equipment, until he was taken down by a heavy grappler, and was pressed down by the redhead on the head.
At this time, the duke finally had a chance to interject: "Speaking of which, your combat uniform is very special. At first glance, it is not from an ordinary army, and you can hear it by listening to the accent. ”
"You're British." The Duke raised his chin at Heavy Load and got a roll of his eyes, but he didn't care. Seeing that the heavy load didn't seem to be able to speak, he immediately shifted the target and turned his head to look at the circuit breaker: "What about yours?" It sounds a bit French. ”
"Morocco." The circuit breaker replied by taking an electronic device from Snake Eyes' hand and putting it in the backpack underneath.
"What about you?" The Duke asked Snake Eyes again.
"He doesn't speak." The circuit breaker reminded the duke.
"Yes, he never speaks, so don't ask." The redhead and Snakeeye have the best relationship, and they usually get along like relatives, so they also opened their mouths to warn the duke.
"Okay, don't speak......" The Duke muttered before turning his head to look at Jing Tian and Flicker, intending to find a new breakthrough.
"It's none of our business." Jing Tian raised his eyebrows: "We are just supernumeraries who joined temporarily. ”
When the duke saw Jing Tian's playful gaze, he immediately remembered the other party's debunking and ridicule before getting on the plane, and the duke, who knew that his careful thinking had been seen through, quickly turned his head and looked at the few people he had sorted out: "No matter what, you won't let go of those who attacked us, right?" So no matter what unit you are in, I'm going to join! ”
"Then you have to go and tell the general in person." The redhead had already hung up the umbrella rope, got up and sat back beside Jing Tian and said.
The duke, seeing that his plan to blend in with the few men was not very successful, immediately closed his mouth with amusement. Don't talk anymore, lest you make too many mistakes.
After a while, the others packed up their gear, sat back in their seats, and began to recuperate, and the cabin fell silent again.
After flying for more than three hours, the plane returned to the underground base in the Egyptian desert and landed, the hatch opened, and everyone got off the plane with their bags.
"Welcome home." General Hawke, who received a message back from the circuit breaker on the way, came to greet him in person with his secretary, and even more rarely thanked Jing Tian and Flash, who stepped off the plane, with a smile on their faces: "Thank you for your help." ”
"It's over." Jing Tian smiled: "They can easily complete the task without our participation, and everyone is very good." ”
At this time, the duke also stepped off the plane with the parachute rope, General Hawke nodded to Jing Tian and greeted him, Jing Tian saw this and directly greeted the secretary who was looking at the two with a flicker, and then walked to the lifting platform.
After a while, General Hawke came over with the parachute cord and the duke, and the secretary pressed the start button. The lifting platform slowly descended after an earthquake.
The successive floors of the underground base opened the eyes of the Duke and the Parachute Rope, and the eyes of the two of them widened almost dizzily as they looked at the various super-technological facilities and training devices.
General Hawke was not as estranged from the Duke and the Parachute Rope as he was from Jing Tian, and General Hawke had the intention of absorbing the Duke and the Duke into his team, so it was rare to give a general explanation of their various questions along the way.
Everyone went to the command center on the lowest level, and a staff member greeted them and reported: "Mr. McCarron is ready for the general." ”
"Connect him with a holographic projection." General Hawke gave the order and led the group to the round table in the center of the room.
While waiting for the connection, Jing Tian said to General Hawke abruptly: "This Macallan is not simple, you must know that even the president of the United States does not use this kind of projection equipment. ”
The general was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "After all, McCarron is relatively close to NATO, so he may have spent a huge price to get this kind of equipment......
Just when General Hawke was suspicious in his heart and was about to think carefully about Jing Tian's words. The projection equipment placed on the roof of the command center began to emit rays, and soon a phantom figure of a man in a suit and leather shoes appeared behind the parachute rope, and walked through the parachute rope's body to the crowd, interrupting General Hawke's thoughts.
This is Mr. McCarron, CEO of MARS Industries. Also the makers of these warheads. ”
As General Hawke introduced his men, McCarron's image spun around and looked at each one with great scrutiny.
Jing Tian and Flickering didn't surround them, but sat down not far away, intending to watch the play, anyway, the next revolving was not interesting.
As The Macallan and the Duke exchanged words, the dispute finally ended with General Hawke's help to the Duke. Next. McAllan used his identity as the manufacturer to make the circuit breaker open the box containing the warhead under the pretext of checking security, and after pretending to inspect it, he secretly activated another covert tracking device in the box, and then hypocritically exchanged pleasantries with General Hawke before ending the call.
"Circuit breaker?" The redhead looked back and asked.
"My voice analyzer shows that his position is swaying up and down, left and right." The circuit breaker shook his head and said.
"Looks like our Mr. McCarron is busy with something he doesn't want us to know......" The easily distorted phrase came out of Heavy Load's mouth, causing everyone to be surprised. No one would have thought that the usual stern and old-fashioned overload would actually say such a thing.
General Hawke didn't care about the actions of his subordinates, the corners of his mouth curled and turned back to the circuit breaker and ordered: "Since that's the case, don't care, at least he belongs to our NATO, do those enemies have any clues this time?" ”
"I captured this from a combat camera." The circuit breaker sat in front of the console and brought up the screen to display it on the big screen, and continued: "Now I am doing a global matching scan based on the face shape of the other party. ”
"Hey......" saw the woman's head on the big screen, leaned into the duke's ear, and wanted to say something.
"Shh The Duke stopped the opening of the parachute, and his brows furrowed as he looked at the picture on the big screen with complicated eyes.
At this time, the secretary came to General Hawke's side and handed over a tablet, and General Hawke looked at the electronic text on it and said to the Duke and the parachute: "Okay, it seems that I have been appointed as the caretaker of these warheads." ”
General Hawke addressed the electronic message to the Duke: "This is the end of your mission, Duke. ”
The Duke was anxious when he heard this, he didn't want to lose the opportunity to join the army. Hurriedly said: "General, when you hand over the warhead, you may still be attacked by the other party, and our escort was robbed, although there are some reasons for the signal transmitter, but there is also the reason for the leakage of the mission!" ”
"What do you want to say?" General Hawke asked.
"If someone leaks our actions, you will be leaked when you act in the future, so you will be as passive as my team." The Duke said solemnly: "So General, if you want to take the initiative, the best possible thing is to send more escorts, you inspected me and the parachute line four years ago, so I think we are enough to join, not only do we want to join this unit, but we also want to continue the mission to avenge those teammates who died!" ”
General Hawke had already moved in his heart, but he couldn't let the two of them join his team too easily, so he still continued to say: "That's not good, if you want to join us, you can only invite you." Applications will not be accepted. ”
"Okay...... I know her! Some of the anxious dukes had no patience to continue procrastinating, and suddenly said something inexplicable.
"What?" General Hawke wondered.
"If you want to take the initiative in the future, you must know yourself and your opponent." As he spoke, the Duke took out a picture from his jacket pocket and handed it to General Hawke: "So I know who she is, and I can tell you all the information I know about her, but General you have to agree to us joining!" ”
General Hawke took the photo and looked at the sweet man and woman on it, then raised his head and pretended to accept the duke's threat, and said with an ugly face: "Okay, but your strength is not enough, accept our special training, only you can temporarily join us." ”
"Yes!" The duke and the parachute cord saluted at the same time. Unlike the unexpected surprise of the parachute rope, the Duke was secretly relieved, as long as he joined in, he was confident that he would remove the 'temporary' title in the future table.
At this time, Jing Tian, who had watched a good show, stood up from his chair: "I won't disturb your exchange of information, just give me a copy later." I'll go back and recuperate. ”
"Oh? Is Earles Advisors so good? Perhaps this information is important to the mission. General Hawke turned his head in surprise.
"It doesn't matter." Jing Tian smiled and glanced at the special squad members around him: "I think you have enough strength to complete this task, so the next arrangement and command will be handed over to you with confidence." ”
General Hawke was very satisfied with Jing Tian's knowledge table, and hurriedly thanked him and then warmly greeted him, asking if Jing Tian needed anything else, and he would immediately arrange it for the two of them.
After Jing Tian said that there are no other special requirements to meet the status quo. General Hawke invited Jing Tian: "I'm very sorry for my doubts about your strength before, maybe I can ask Major General Earls and Colonel Flickering to do some training guidance for our team?" ”
"The general has won the award, so let's just talk about it." Jing Tian said modestly.
"That's good. I won't disturb your rest, just tell me if you need anything. General Hawke said very kindly.
Jing Tian responded with a smile, then nodded to the special forces present and left the command center with a flash.
Everyone watched Jing Tian leave, and General Hawke came back to his senses and said to the Duke and the umbrella: "Okay boy, let's tell me the information, and then give you a day to sort out your mood and start training tomorrow." ”
"Yes!" The Duke saluted with the umbrella opener, and the Duke began to tell the story of him and the woman named Anna...... (To be continued......)
