Well, that doesn't sound terrible, but it seems like it's enough to block and wipe out any mutant horde. Even if tens of thousands of mutants charge together, it's impossible to do anything with them, right?

You might say so after estimating the results. True, there is nothing wrong with this estimate itself. This kind of unmanned equipment in this number and configuration, combined with their super-era weapons, vehicles, and command systems, can indeed exert extremely strong combat effectiveness.

At least it can deal with a large number of mutants without any pressure. But that's when they come together.

And the whole thing is not that simple. Because the task given to them by Shen Chao is not just as simple as occupying a few strategic points. He didn't want the mercenaries to take over these important cities and hold them.

It's really not that hard to do that. But what he asked was for the mercenaries to use these points as a staging point to gather the scattered local population and resources and send them back to the occupied territories of Dubai. Allow him to build a larger army.

To do this, the mercenaries must quickly step out of the city's safe city defenses after the initial occupation is completed, and divide into small teams to penetrate into the local mutant-infested areas in search of local survivors and resources.

And the danger of doing so does not seem small. Because as mentioned earlier, these mercenaries don't know how many mutants there are on this planet and where the dense areas are located. At least not for now.

What's more, they also have no way of knowing information such as human settlements and the location of strategic goods near their mission sites.

Therefore, with this condition, Shen Chao gave them very few resources. These drones and people alone can't perform this kind of mission that requires technology.

"But, sir. This number is too small, we ......" One of the officers couldn't help but hear this, interrupting Shen Chao's introduction.

No matter how he thought about it, he felt that Shen Chao was making it difficult for a strong man, yes. The weapons and equipment they are equipped with are very advanced, but this number of support forces is still too small, and there is a surplus for defense. However, it is not enough to attack and carry out various tasks.

What's more, they don't have detailed information about the mission objectives, and it is too dangerous to carry out this mission under such conditions. If you don't get it right, there is also the possibility of total annihilation.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to leave you alone with all the tasks. When necessary, I will send troops to assist you in your work......"

Shen Chao hurriedly comforted. However, he refers to the special situation of mass evacuation of survivors and the general global eradication. That is, under normal circumstances, they still have to rely on themselves.

"Also, open your PDA. Check out the map for updates......" With that, he explained his other arrangements.

Of course, he couldn't expect these guys to be able to complete the tasks he gave them smoothly with such a little support, so he opened up some information permissions to these mercenaries.

This is done so that the mercenaries can use their satellite network to find important information near their mission points and complete their missions in this way.

This is particularly good in the warfare technology from the world of Mass Effect, as long as there is no strong interference from the enemy, they can easily gain unilateral information superiority on the battlefield. And then grasp the absolute initiative.

"You've all now been given secondary access to the command network's information inquiry. The PDAs that were previously assigned to you can now directly receive the information needed for the mission, such as maps, weather ......"

Shen Chao said as he opened the holographic map behind him to show the meaning of the new permissions they had obtained. There are still tens of thousands of markers on the map. As if to remind them that it will take a lot of effort to occupy this plane.

Shen Chao explained to the mercenaries the meaning of several main signs on the map to ensure that the mercenaries could effectively use the map information.

There are more than a dozen different colors and styles of logos on the map, and each one on the map has a different meaning, except for a few red ones that are the centers of their chosen operations.

The first is the green signs that are scattered on every continent on the map. The shape of the green logo is a small equilateral triangle. Its shape represents a tent. It represents nature as well as a human settlement.

In addition to the specific location information, when you zoom out on the map, you can see that each green sign is marked with several sets of numbers.

These figures, from top to bottom, represent the number of people in the settlement and the amount of several important materials in the settlement. This information can help them decide which survivor settlements to aid and absorb first.

In addition to the green signs that are found all over the world, there is also a yellow circular logo that is very common on the map. Like the green logo, it is distributed all over the world. And the obvious number is much more.

And if you look closely, you'll see that there is usually a long distance between these signs and the green ones. It's as if there's something in the middle that deliberately distances the two logos.

There is no doubt that these yellow logos represent mutant people, and unlike the logos that represent human beings, there is only one set of numbers jù representing the number of people. It can be used to assess the location and strength of local mutants.

There are two main types of signs, and there is a slightly smaller but more widely distributed sign that can be found in various areas of the map. It's a fork-shaped black logo. Represents important supplies.

There are not many numbers on these signs, because it is difficult for them to find out what is in these warehouses and what the quantities are before the field survey.

After introducing the marking system on the map, Shen Chao explained the reward mechanism to them in detail, including the commission for not sending back a survivor or a batch of standard units.

After seeing this information displayed by Shen Chao, the mercenaries were all relieved, with such information support and irregular backup, their work was much easier, and now it seems that they really don't need a large number of personnel to complete the task delivered by Shen Chao.

Looking at the price offered by Shen Chao again, as long as they work hard, it seems that they can indeed earn a large amount of commissions while controlling the risk.

"Any other questions?" Shen Chao asked after looking at their relaxed faces.

"When are we leaving?" The mercenary who asked the question earlier asked on behalf of the others. Shen Chao had already given them all the information they needed, and there was nothing to hesitate about.

"Today! Shen Chao made a decision, he didn't have the patience to wait slowly now, he still wanted to quickly occupy this plane and form a large-scale army and fleet, but he couldn't waste too much time at this stage.

So after explaining the task, he wanted to send the mercenaries out immediately, in addition to the targets he mentioned just now, he also had a lot of hidden tasks that these guys needed to inform and carry out after arriving at the destination.

"You still have five hours to prepare. By 6 p.m., all personnel were assembled at the 2nd Air Force Base and set off. Disbanded ...... now"

After Shen Chao said this, he asked the mercenaries to prepare for them. After receiving his order, the mercenaries obviously wanted to express their opinions, but they quickly left his office under the persuasion of their companions, and made separate preparations.

After leaving Shen Chao's office, the mercenaries went to the logistics to collect weapons and equipment, gathered to do tactical analysis before the operation, and found his girlfriend who had just been married for a short time before parting......

It has to be said that Shen Chao's mercenaries are still very popular with local women after arriving at this plane, because except for their own knowledge, the other survivors who are currently under the rule of the council think that they are members of the reconstruction committee.

And the reconstruction committee is to help them rebuild their civilization and train the army, and their reputation among the survivors is very high. So in the past month, the mercenaries have also been stained with this light. Even the locals have a good impression of them.

With a good impression and a certain amount of communication and instinctive push, many of the mercenaries have been blessed locally, and some are said to have moved their feelings. Therefore, it is understandable that such a scene appeared before departure.

Five hours later, the appointed time arrived, and the mercenaries, no matter how reluctant they were, let go of their nostalgia for the comfortable life here and gathered at the second air base.

The 2nd Air Base is one of the 3 military bases they have divided into the city of Dubai, formerly the largest airport in the city. Far from the city center, the runway is huge.

This airport is an important receiving point for people and goods in the future phase to which they are assigned. The personnel and other supplies sent back by the mercenaries will be assembled here. So it was chosen as the place of origin.

Shen Chao and Dr. Neville arrived at the First Air Force Base accompanied by a team of heavily armed soldiers. Most of the other important members of the council were sleeping in the living quarters, so only the two senior leaders came over to see off the mercenaries.

At this time, the mercenaries were already ready to stand in a row. In the distance, outside the outer fence of the runway, hundreds of soldiers who had completed their training were watching them as if they were in a hurry.

These recruits also learned the news that they were leaving from their instructors just a few hours ago, and after more than a month, they also got acquainted with their own instructors, so they watched from a distance, which was regarded as a send-off.

Back on the runway, the mercenaries had already put on their assigned armor, brought weapons and lined up in 3 detachments to wait for Shen Chao to give the order to go. On the runway behind them were large expanses of weaponry.

In order to support this operation, Shen Chao provided each of their teams with sufficient weapons and ammunition. There was enough ammunition for them to pull the trigger and keep it going for 1 month.

There are 40 shuttles lined up on the runway. There is also 1 medium-sized cargo ship waiting to depart at the end. Needless to say, the shuttle is their means of transporting people.

And the three medium-sized ships are their material transport vehicles. At this time, the cargo loaded in that spaceship was all the equipment and supplies needed by the mercenaries for this mission. (To be continued.) )
