Chapter 23: Meteorites
Nebel, located in the southern foothills of the central Himalayas, is an economically backward country. Even though its capital, Kathmandu, is backed by the Himalayas and has a series of scenic resources, the whole city still looks like a third-tier city in China, let alone compared to metropolises such as Hawaii, which is a beautiful country.
"What the hell is the place, what the hell do you want." Tolekuski looked at the buildings in front of him, most of which were on the fifth or sixth floor, and shook off the dirt stuck to his leather boots, and looked displeased.
"Remember that we're here on a mission, not on vacation, and don't be too ostentatious. You don't have to look at the bars either! When the mission is completed, Bruce will naturally let everyone go to Hawaii to enjoy it for a while. ”
Nawa, who walked behind him, duly reminded Toller at the front of the line that the guy was simply a troublemaker, and he was indeed a werewolf, as brainless as an animal!
What a new spirit is~ Don't think that Bruce put you in charge of this operation, you are really the boss here. Didn't you once manage a third-rate mercenary team, you can't break my defense when labor and management stand, what other ability do you have besides running fast!
Tolekuski was indignant, but he did not dare to say these words. Because he knew that no one in this five-person squad was really on his side. And recently, on the Burial Island, the research value of his body has become less and less.
Walking behind Nava were naturally Aurora, Takashi Tanabe, and Louison. This time, Bruce sent these five people to Nebel at one time in order to bring the meteorite that fell from the 6.15 meteor shower back to the burial island.
As for why it took almost two months to launch this mission.
On the one hand, it took a lot of time to gather intelligence in the early stage, formulate plans, and deploy around the mission site. After all, the meteorite landed on the border of China. They were only responsible for the intrusion of the blockade zone and the carrying of meteorites to the contact point.
On the other hand, it is to let the five-person team get familiar with each other and hone their cooperation in battle. It also increases the power of Nava, Aurora, and Tanabe for a while.
All along, combat simulations have been based on Nava as the command. Naturally, during this time, I got to know the other four people more deeply.
Tolekuski is a werewolf in Maozi Country, but he does not transform into a wolf like the legend says. However, after the transformation, some parts will be deformed and strengthened. Overall strength, agility, and resistance to strikes can be greatly improved, and it also has good resilience.
Aurora, a curry countryman, like him, suddenly acquired superpowers more than two months ago. In his hometown, because his sister was bullied to death, he directly sucked the other party's vitality dry in the fight, and his death was terrifying. Later, he was wanted by the other party's family and the local police, and was collected by the spies of the beautiful country during the escape, and helped him solve his family's worries.
Tanabe is a little taller, a native of the Japanese country, and his superpower is fire control, which is the main output of the team, and it is also a superpower that has only been obtained recently. Originally, he was an underworld element of the Wa Kingdom, but he revealed his abilities in a community conflict, and was discovered by the spies of the Beautiful Country and recruited him. Because of his own ambition, he voluntarily joined the burial island under the generous reward promised by the other party.
Louison, a native of Sunset Country, is a legendary vampire who has lived for at least a thousand years. A long time ago, he reached a cooperation agreement with a beautiful country, and his identity is a mystery, at least for Nava.
It can be said that the establishment of the Burial Island project at that time was largely to develop the secrets of Louison! Its combat effectiveness is also a mystery, and it can complete the transformation of Toller without any transformation.
Moreover, its status on the Burial Island is different from that of several others, and it is more cooperative than subordinate. Before leaving, Bruce alone reminded him of the importance of the task, and focused on asking him to do his best, which shows that he attaches great importance to him.
Arriving at the foot of the mountain at the mission site, the five of them could already see that the top of the mountain was still covered with a lot of snow in August. The meteorite landed in the border area between Nepal and China, especially the largest meteorite, although it was less than 3 meters in diameter, but it almost fell on the dividing line between the two countries.
Because the landing site is more than 4,000 meters above sea level, and the scientific expedition teams of the two countries have jointly researched it, they have sent a small number of border guards to guard it, which is not suitable for robbery by conventional force at all. Fortunately, the current Nebelian government is pro-US and has not encountered too many obstacles in the deployment of meteorite transfers.
In the evening, the five of them pretended to be tourists and mingled with a group of mountaineering enthusiasts. Walking to the mountainside, about 3,000 meters above sea level, you can already see the blockade sign not far ahead.
Pretending to stop and rest for a while, the five of them separated from others without a trace, and slowly touched the blockade area under the cover of the rocks.
Before leaving, the five of them had already seen the satellite aerial photos of this place, and they already knew the layout of the blockade area. The expedition teams of China and Nepal set up working tents within the national border near the meteorite landing site. Each of them has set up a living area less than 5 kilometers from the work area, which is the boundary location of the blockade area.
After all, there is a big difference between an altitude of 3,000 meters and an altitude of 4,000 meters. The scientific expedition personnel only work in the work area during the day, and will return to the living area to rest at night.
At this time, the Nava five had bypassed the living area of the Nibel expedition team, approached the work area, and could already see the large crater on the national border. In fact, I saw many small craters along the way, but they were all empty.
Obviously, the small meteorites within their borders have been removed by the Nepalese expedition, but it is not known whether they have been placed in the living quarters for research or have been transported. I believe that the same is true on the Huaxia side.
On the Nebelian side, only two armed soldiers stood guard outside the work tent, while the other two patrolled back and forth closer to the meteorite.
Seeing this, Toller smiled and glanced at Tanabe, and motioned for one person to solve two and take the lead. Among these five people, this Japanese is a little similar to him. But as soon as the two tried to stun the four as planned, they were stopped by Nava.
"Something is wrong, I didn't see the guards on Huaxia's side. According to previous satellite images, the positions and numbers of guards of the two countries are basically symmetrical. ”
Nava's more than ten years as a mercenary has allowed him to develop a good habit of being vigilant in case of trouble. Especially during combat operations, it is common to analyze the opponent's battle formation, arrange troops, etc., in advance, and avoid stepping on mines.
"We should be able to see at least the people patrolling in front of the meteorite from this position."
"I'll go around to the hillside of Huaxia to see the situation, everyone is on standby, don't act rashly. Louison, please take care of this place as well. ”
Obviously, Nawa is still not very worried about the two reckless guys, and deliberately let the two of them be restrained by Luison, who is usually quite prestigious in the team.
"Ah~oh, okay!" Louison on the side was unusual, and he was a little distracted. It was only when Nava called his name that he reacted.
Nawa was also a little puzzled when he saw Louison's reaction, but he didn't think too much about it, and floated out like a ghost on the ground, after all, the task was important.
Louison, who had just come back to his senses, looked deeply at the crater not far away. As far as the eye can see, the top of the meteorite is exposed outside the crater, and there is nothing unusual about it.
However, Aurora, who was attentive on the sidelines, found that the expression on Louison's face was extremely wrong, which was diametrically opposed to his usual calm and gentlemanly image - confused, shocked, and even a little frightened.
