Chapter 16: A hasty retreat

The two of them ran to the first floor after finishing the terminal on the second floor, but before they could download much information, a team of armed men rushed to support. The two had another emergency call. In the end, it was decided to leave one person to download the text jiàn, and the other to lure away the enemy of the brigade. Shen Chao volunteered to lead the enemy.

It's not that he's arrogant, it's that none of these support units have night vision devices. At this moment, the entire archive was pitch black, and his chances of being caught by the other party were too small.

Shen Chao constantly harassed the enemies who came to support, and ran all over the field with them. On the other side, Custer finally finished downloading the last number of jù points, and it didn't take much to eliminate the last 5 enemies with the two of them. Both of them knew that they couldn't stay here for long, so they didn't replenish the corpses on the ground.

"Aren't you going to make up for a few shots, Archer?" Custer quipped that in the previous operation, it was basically Shen Chao who was responsible for replenishing the enemy's guns.

"If you want to make up for yourself, I don't care if I am watched by the support that has been rushed over." Shen Chao also relaxed a little at this time. Although there were a lot of dangers just now, the two of them still had a thrilling pass, the main goal of the mission had been completed, and now it was nothing more than a matter of retreat.

The two of them quickly rushed to the weapons depot deeper in the underground fortress according to the road map drawn up earlier, which was located below the office floor than before, the ground was piled with all kinds of old war materials, and the doors were also heavy blast doors. At first glance, it is a high-class shelter from the Cold War.

Sure enough, due to the chaos in the office area just now, the guards here also became very vigilant. Patrolling in pairs, it looks like it's hard to get around.

However, the two of them are running for their lives, and they don't care about the potential danger here. First, one person and one shot eliminated the two guards outside the door, and then rushed to the elevator room leading to the upper floor. The structure of the building here is problematic, with a large lift in the middle leading to the ground. There is a ring of steel-framed stairs next to it. There were heads floating on the stairs, and it seemed that there were a dozen people guarding here to prevent them from escaping.

Originally, the elevator was a good escape tool. But at this time, the elevator was obviously not energized, and the two of them sat on it in vain. After observing from the outside for two minutes, the two decided to split up, first taking care of the enemies on the stairs as secretly as possible, and then striking at the remaining enemies from both directions after they were exposed.

Shen Chao chose to climb the elevator in the middle and go up slowly, he carefully avoided the enemy's sight, silently climbed up the steel frame, and climbed to the height little by little, if he encountered a lone enemy, he quietly killed it with a silenced pistol. Custer was doing the same thing on the stairs on the other side.

When Shen Chao was finally spotted as he was taking out the fifth enemy, he returned fire with his pistol as he moved towards the nearest cover. Custer switched to an automatic rifle behind his back and swept down two nearby enemies almost instantly, and the two men used automatic weapons to fire with the remaining four men in the following minute, and finally won the final victory.

All the enemies in the vicinity were destroyed, but neither of them was happy. Judging from the shouts coming from the enemy's radio, the enemy had mobilized a large number of troops to block the exits, and the original retreat route seemed to be useless.

But the two didn't complain, just quickly left the place. Hopefully, before they're discovered again, Command will be able to arrange a new way out for them. The two of them hid in the base, and because the base was too huge, the guards who didn't dare to divide and scattered couldn't find them for a while.

"Now, Agent Valentina. Do you have any updates for us? Shen Chao had to ask the command for help instead of the two. In the process of escaping, he and Custer explained their current situation to the command.

"Wait a minute, stay hidden, we're planning a new retreat route. At this time, Agent Valentina lost her previous confidence, and her tone was a little flustered. …,

Shen Chao looked at the current position of the two, and it was indeed relatively safe for the time being. But when the enemy drags the net and searches, I'm afraid there will be no way to hide. Looking at Custer's expression, he also frowned. Presumably, there are similar concerns.

"Custer, we can't wait for the command's plan. Shen Chao thought for a while and said.

"What do you want, Custer. You should know that going out and running around now can only send you to death. Custer warned, apparently trying to escape as well.

"Remember the arsenal in the building diagram here?" It was mentioned in the informant's intelligence. Shen Chao said.

"I remember, but the intelligence shows that WMD is no longer there. "Custer didn't understand what Shen Chao was doing.

"I remember there was a subway passage next to it, and we could blow up a way out with the explosives from the arsenal. Now their main forces are searching for us at the exit and other areas......" Shen Chao described his thoughts as briefly as possible.

"Okay, let's go to the arsenal. Custer thought for a few seconds and agreed with Shen Chao's plan. For common reasons, neither of them informed Command of their latest actions, and their external communications were shut down. The two of them just moved their tired limbs and set off.

The lights here in the arsenal are quite bright, which is very difficult for concealment. But the two had no other choice but to hide their bodies as much as possible and avoid places where there were few people.

In one of the halls, the two men shot three enemies before the enemy fired warning shots. Then it went up and down, and the wind continued to move forward from both directions. It has to be said that as a military base, it is quite tightly defended here. Neither of the two would be able to escape on their own.

But at this moment, although it was thrilling, the two complemented each other's guns and launched an attack together, taking care of each other's visual blind spots. Killed 7 or 8 guards on guard but still haven't been found.

Ten minutes later, the two finally reached the core area of the arsenal, a sizable underground warehouse. The two of them knocked on a work door together, went inside, and carefully observed the situation in the warehouse. There are at least 5 or 6 guards armed with automatic weapons, but the most important thing is that there is an automatic turret in the far side of the warehouse, and the caliber is at least 14.5 caliber.

Trying to close it seemed that the only way to get into the control room was in the distance, but there was no structure in the middle that could be climbed to allow the two of them to get close. The middle of the warehouse is very empty, and it is difficult to hide.

The two of them took a closer look at the moving things in the warehouse, and finally both set their eyes on a container in the distance, which had an automated loading and unloading system. The two of them can move the lifting guide rail on the ceiling of the container to the top of the turret through the exposed *platform, and then release it to smash the turret.

This improvised plan sounds beautiful, but both men know the risks involved, and if one doesn't get it right, it will be a puddle of rotten meat by the automatic turret, or it will drag on too long and be beaten into a sieve by the incoming reinforcements.

"Are you ready?" Shen Chao turned his head and asked, while also asking himself in his heart.

"No problem," Custer replied rather crisply, though his brow furrowed. But that tone also gave Shen Chao a little confidence.

Shen Chao cautiously sneaked to the power switch at the other end of the warehouse, while Custer knocked out several chandeliers in the warehouse to help him attract attention. After finally reaching the power switch, Shen Chao gently threw out the only remaining EMP grenade. Two seconds later, the warehouse fell into darkness, and Shen Chao took the opportunity to run out, pull down the power switch, and break the handshake partially. Now, even if someone tries to turn off the electric gate here, it will take a lot of work. After doing this, Shen Chao did not forget the short action time of the jìEMP grenade, and quickly ran to a hidden place to hide. …,

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the bunker with his front feet, the lights in the warehouse came on, and several enemies began to come in groups to check on the situation.

"Custer, it's up to you now. After completing his part of the dangerous work, Shen Chao reminded his teammates.

"I'm in place and ready* for loading and unloading. Custer said.

Shen Chao understood that Custer was ready to release EMP, so he quickly prepared. Soon, with another burst of darkness created by EMP, arrived. He quickly rushed out of cover, drew his combat knife, and quickly killed the three enemies in front of him who had temporarily lost their sight in a few strokes. Finally, he ran to the next bunker.

"Archer, I've pulled down the *longitudinal pole and come and join me." After the EMP failed, the Castelton guò communicator shouted.

"No, I don't have an EMP anymore, I'm afraid you're going to have to knock down that container yourself." Shen Chao looked at the terrain and felt that he should not be able to secretly meet in the past.

"No, the turret response time is too fast, we have to shoot together." Custer's voice was resolute, and Shen Chao looked at it, and there were 3 enemies in the distance in the warehouse, all of which were in the turret. You can't get around them and the automatic turret if you want to get out.

"Wait a minute, I'll try it on the other side." Shen Chao finally decided to approach from the other side. Two minutes later, with a rapid burst of gunfire, a huge and heavy container fell. With a loud sound of landing, the automatic turret below and the two guards were smashed into small pies, and although the last guy was not hit because of the change of position, there was no reason for the two to let him go. A volley went down and shot the last guard straight into a sieve.

Under the bright light of the arsenal, the two people who did not dare to delay quickly found and opened a few boxes marked with the words "vigilance" and "explosives", each took a few packs of C4 and a few detonators, and quickly ran to the wall connected to the subway. One is responsible for planting the explosives, and the other is responsible for connecting the detonator.

Both of them moved very quickly, and it took less than two minutes to set the blast point. However, at this time, there was also a faint sound of footsteps at the door of the warehouse in the distance, and it seemed that the big movement of the container falling just now had alarmed them.

"Hey, man, you should know that if this plan doesn't work out, we're all going to die here. Shen Chao said while connecting the last few wires.

"Shut up, and, hurry up and get that broken wire connected and detonated," shouted Custer, who was on guard with a spear out next to him. Before he could finish speaking, an explosion came from behind him, and the strong tremors almost caused him to fall. was about to ask something, but Shen Chao pulled him and ran away.

"Alright, don't complain man, the enemy is coming. Come on! The two of them quickly passed through the passage that was still full of dust and gravel, and ran all the way to the depths of the subway line without looking back.
