The relics and artifacts stolen by the unknown Protoss forces in Egypt are not bold enough to dare to transport them out of Africa from the Suez Canal.

Because the Middle East is in a period of instability, it has gathered the attention of the gods from all sides. As for the European Atlas jurisdiction, almost every inch of land cannot escape the eyes of the Celestial Generation.

Most of Africa, with the exception of Egypt, does not have a long-lasting remnant of human history and culture, so there are very few traces of the previous gods. However, the more ancient Protoss civilization has a time gap.

Therefore, if you want to escape the pursuit, you can only choose the route to the sea from other parts of Africa. A month ago, members of the Protoss who were on an expedition in Ethiopia found some traces, and after more than 10 days of follow-up investigation, it was found that the "cultural relics" were still in Africa, and they seemed to want to be transported out of the Somali Peninsula.

There weren't even many observation points on the Mediterranean and Red Sea coasts, because anyone who dared to "do the opposite" was caught, but they seemed to follow the rule of "the most dangerous place is the safest place" and operated very close to the Red Sea on the Somali peninsula.

The other party, who was cautious at the beginning, was indeed ignored by Xiaozhitiandu and Atlas, but the two organizations still found them with their strong human resources. Therefore, after the study of all parties, this action led by Liu Yidao was formulated.

Originally, I wanted to wait until the geologist arrived at the location to tell him the details, but I didn't expect that the other party thought it was just an ordinary military survey and handed it over directly to his students. So what appeared in front of Liu Yidao and them became Yi Ziyan.

Since too many people will lead to too large a target, there are only a dozen people involved in this operation. However, a dozen people on the long front line are obviously not enough, even if you can find a suitable sniper nest position and use a single person as a base to maximize the monitoring radius, it can only extend about 100 kilometers, and the single layer of defense line cannot prevent the opponent's actions at night.

Therefore, the plan given by the Operational Tactics Department this time is a "high mobility" operation.

"How's your fitness?"

"Me?" Yi Ziyu didn't seem to expect the major to talk to him, and immediately pointed at himself in flattery.

"Yes, everyone else is one in a hundred elites, and physical fitness is the most basic one. ”

Although Liu Yidao's face was calm when he said this, it was like the simplest inquiry, but when he asked this kind of words with a disdainful expression under normal circumstances, Yi Ziyu felt extremely angry but didn't know where to be angry.

"My physical fitness is very good, but I have also followed my teacher to various places around the world to conduct geological surveys!" Yi Ziyu said with his hands on his hips and glaring at Liu Yi.

"Okay, I see, you follow me. ”

"I don't want to, I want to follow the correspondent brother!" After getting along for a while, Yi Ziyu only felt that the correspondent was more "amiable".

"First of all, disobedience is not allowed on the battlefield, and you are now part of my formation. Liu Yidao said, "Secondly, the correspondent just follows me, so there is no difference." ”

"You ......" Yi Ziyu stomped her foot angrily, particularly annoyed by Liu Yidao's tepid personality.

The correspondent, who looked to be in his twenties, could only scratch his head and laugh.

The age of this group of people is generally not very old, although they are only in their teens like Liu Yidao and Yi Ziyu, but almost all of them are not over thirty years old.

Soon Yi Ziyu mingled with everyone, and she realized that it seemed that Liu Yidao was not gregarious, and he almost never participated in other things except for formulating tactics. Either stay in place in a daze, or pick up a branch and paint on the ground.

"Sir, why do you draw the same thing every time?" Yi Ziyu, who couldn't resist her curiosity, finally asked her own question.

Liu Yidao glanced at Yi Ziyu quietly, and a hint of surprise slipped through his eyes, but it quickly disappeared: "It's useless to tell you." ”

"......" Yi Ziyu froze in place, secretly scolding herself for talking to this guy, so she made a grimace at Liu Yidao's back and prepared to leave angrily.

"For none of you have witnessed the tree. ”

"Tree?" Looking at the pattern of teeth and claws all over the ground, Yi Ziyu thought about it again. The paintings look unstructured, but Yoo Yidao is able to draw exactly the same figure every time, and most importantly, his brushstrokes have not changed.

The only thing that I can't understand is that this pattern doesn't seem to have anything to do with the "tree" at all.

However, Liu Yidao's last sentence seems to make Yi Ziyu understand something, that is, this guy who is angry and doesn't pay for his life will only say "facts" without emotion. If you speculate on the emotion in his words, you will definitely die of entanglement.

Yi Ziyu sighed, and said in her heart that the three no attributes are the cute point of the girl, okay? You are a big boy with this kind of attribute, which is really unaesthetic.

Liu Yidao naturally didn't know Yi Ziyu's mental activities, and for him, the only task at present was to complete this operation.

"Alright, the Tactics Department let's do it today. "In the past two days, we have found all the suitable sniper nest positions in a straight line from south to north. Each person has a five-kilometer monitoring radius, and although there are sniper binoculars that allow you to overlap your field of vision, you are expected to be attentive at all times. Twelve people can pull out a monitoring line of 120 kilometers, and the person who is farthest away from the designated distance is now 60 kilometers away from the target nest position, and you are limited to run to reach your destination within four hours. ”

"Yes!"

There are only five people left here, including the correspondent, Yi Ziyu and Liu Yidao. Their mission is to move outside of the field of view where the enemy is most likely to pass.

Every hour, the sniper nest sniper is to report the situation to ensure that the communicator does not malfunction at some point, and if the unit has been killed surreptitiously within a short period of time.

As long as the Egyptian side detects the traces that the other side has left Egypt, then with the reconnaissance ability of the other side, the other side will definitely not reach Ethiopia within this time. And their combat plan is even more exquisite, after the defense line is set up, monitoring during the day, and at night the whole line will be pulled from west to east, the opponent will advance day and night while they only advance at night, the opponent's speed must be faster than them, and it will inevitably pass through their monitoring line during the day.

After nightfall, even if you use night vision goggles, you can't reach the detection range of the day, so the snipers will ride bicycles prepared near the sniper's nest and rush away, as long as they reach the calculated night advance distance of the war department, the rest of the night is time to rest.

The day and night hours near the equator are almost the same, so the manual positioning is twelve hours a day, five or six hours of travel, and six or seven hours of rest, which is a very large workload. And along the way, you have to do some anti-reconnaissance measures, such as the bicycle wheel print can not be too close to the sniper nest, once the sniper nest position is exposed, then the other party will be alert, and the wheel prints can not be continuous together, the bicycle wheel prints that stretch for dozens of kilometers are normal, hundreds of kilometers are not normal, and if you happen to meet that person's travel route overlaps with a sniper, then you can see a new bicycle wheel print every day will make people find clues.

The opponent is also a Protoss, and the reconnaissance and anti-reconnaissance capabilities cannot be ignored, and you can't hold the luck that the other party is in a hurry and will ignore the details along the way.

The target of the motor vehicle or plane is too large, and the strong investigation of the Protoss makes it impossible for the other party to transport it in this way, and manual transportation will lead to speed limitations, so setting up a defense line can maximize the possibility of intercepting the opponent.

Yi Ziyu was assigned to work with the correspondent, and although she seemed to be complimented by her, she couldn't be happy. Their task is to move around all directions of the monitoring line in order to guard against three possible accidents: the target is immediately caught, the target is not in the monitoring line, and the target has already crossed the monitoring line.

Nothing unusual happened for two full days of action. Yi Ziyu's hanging heart also fell, and even regarded this operation as a patience competition and triathlon competition that lasted for many days.

"I know you're all tired after two days of intense physical work, but the longer this battle lasts, the better the chances of an enemy appearing in the next moment, so I hope you hold on. After a briefing, Yoo Yi-dao's voice rang out over everyone's communicators.

"Call the geological observer, please answer if you receive it. ”

"Roger. ”

"Are there any geological problems along the way? Since this area was formed by the rise of the vault of sedimentary layers during the Tertiary period, and was less affected by the Quaternary glacial movement than in the Northern Hemisphere, all the members of the group do not know much about the geography here, and I hope you can inform us in time when you find a problem. ”

"Okay, but nothing wrong for now. ”

Known as the "Roof of Africa", the Ethiopian Highlands are a spectacular natural landscape, with domed landscapes that make the majestic peaks rise from the ground like carefully constructed buildings. It's just that all of them are not in the mood to appreciate it, because as long as they have a good field of vision, they focus their attention on moving objects at all times.

"Attention to all combat units, if there is a change in operations, please immediately report the specific information of each combat unit in order. ”

This time, when it came to the sixth member, there was no voice.

"Ah Heng, please answer. Ah Heng?" Liu Yidao's voice was still so calm, but everyone felt a little strange in this calm.

Others continued to report. ”

Everyone has been debriefed, except for the sixth operative who has not been contacted. At this time, they were all quietly waiting for Liu Yidao's combat orders.

"An hour to two hours ago, the entire Atlas tracking force 78 kilometers ahead of the line of defense was completely lost. Now there is an abnormality on Ah Heng's side, everyone is heading in that direction, and the other party has advanced seventy-eight kilometers in two hours, which means that they have found themselves exposed, that is to say, they have used vehicles, and now there is no need to hide their traces, and they will use all reliable means around them to pursue. It is very likely that the opponent will take out Ah Heng without the two fighters in the fifth and seventh nest positions unknowing, and if this is true, then the opponent is terrifying. Remember, never clash head-on with an enemy, try to fight as much as possible. Alright, do it now!"

"Roger!"

Yi Ziyu turned off the communicator with a solemn face, and she couldn't accept the change in the situation in front of her for a while. Ah Heng seemed to be a very energetic big boy, and she vaguely remembered that the warrior had bronzed skin, a gregarious personality, and had set up a tent for her when she first joined. And now, the guy on the other end of the communicator seems to have sentenced him to death with a sentence of "solved", which makes Yi Ziyu feel very uncomfortable.
