Chapter 322: The Wine of Eternal Life Part 2
"No, the operation has failed."
Rum's rum was gone, and he reached for the Yamazaki whiskey and poured it over, and took another sip.
"If you want to completely destroy the entire metropolitan area and prevent this from becoming a front-line supply base for Takamagaha in the Americas, it's not enough to use a dirty bomb, it's just in case, so there are dozens of similar action groups.
If it had ended according to the original plan, at this point in time, Panama would have already turned into a sea of fire, purgatory on earth, but you see, nothing has happened. Those ninjas took the lead and killed the entire local bureau, so the betrayal of the top is a given fact, and Takamagahara's actions are well understood.
The war in Panama is over. ”
Tequila stared coldly at the woman opposite and slowly added,
"However, because of the particularity of the cargo, the final action group was in silent communication throughout the whole process, acting covertly, and only appeared at a specific time and place to confirm whether to carry out the final mission.
Therefore, they were independent of the plan, and they did not know that the bureau had been served by the ninjas of Takamagahara. So as long as you confirm where Takamagaha ambushed them, you will know who is the traitor in the betrayal bureau. ”
Li Pan raised his eyebrows,
"Hey, I said...... Is this a traitor in particular? Are you crazy? The victory or defeat is only temporary, and it will be fought back in the future, and you will end up together?
Lao Tzu originally wanted to persuade them to save people and land, and people and land should be saved. Good guys, it turns out that you don't want people and land! Let's explode together!
Does this sacrifice make sense? Panama's GDP is only a few points? To put it mildly, can it really affect the situation of the war? And what do you guys think? You're locals, aren't you? In the first sentence, you destroyed your hometown by yourself? ”
Rum was drunk, took another sip of wine, and did not answer.
Tequila was silent for a moment, avoiding Li Pan's gaze,
"It's a task from above. War has a price. ”
Li Pan glared at him,
"Hey,! How old are you and you still listen to your dad like that? Oh, what you say is right, right? The adult told you to die, you should die, but he told you to throw a nuclear bomb into the city! Throw gas bombs!
If you really have the ability, you can slaughter Takamagahara's essence on the battlefield? But these are all civilians in the city, and even civilians on your side! I think the city center is also densely populated, at least 50 million people, right?
Hey, no wonder someone wants to mutiny and leak the information. With such a sand sculpture plan, why should I rebel even if I am left behind! ”
Tequila glared at him angrily, but she still endured it, and only said in a muffled voice,
"This is war, there is no right or wrong on the battlefield. We are soldiers, and we are in our job to carry out our tasks, and there is no room for our conscience to assert our own opinions. Some people want to be heroes, I don't care, I am only responsible for one of my brothers and comrades in the trenches.
So if you are a hero, you have to stab us in the back at the expense of all your colleagues and comrades-in-arms! Then don't think that you can escape your responsibilities and live alone! ”
Rum lay on the table, drunk, and turned his empty wine glass with his index finger.
"That's right, adults, what you do, you have to be responsible......"
Li Pan glanced at Rum, and glanced at Tequila again, and knew what these two people meant, so he had nothing to say.
"Okay, if you have to stay until tomorrow, I'll pick you up tomorrow."
He stood up and settled the account, and was about to go out with his pocket, when he suddenly remembered,
"Oh yes, which of you is familiar with the Darien Swamp?"
Tequila look at Li Pan,
"What, you're really here for a tour?"
Li Pan casually turned on the holographic projection and drew a circle in the jungle area.
"Sort of, what kind of place is this place?"
Rum glanced at it, and was so shocked that he woke up, staring at Li Pan vigilantly,
"Why are you asking this?"
"Is there really something? What is hidden in this jungle? Military bases? Secret Factory? ”
Li Pan played back the satellite video,
"LEOPORT FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A COVERT OPERATION IN TAKAMAGAHARA, AND THE FRIGATE SNEAKED IN AND DROPPED SOME PERSONNEL DOWN. The ship jumped in the direction of Mars, so it was speculated that there might be people from the Legion on board.
The horns are so bad, the barren mountains and mountains, I don't know what they're here for, so I'm going to take a look. Is there any information related to your locality? ”
"Legion ......"
Rum looked nervous for a moment, and it seemed that she clearly knew something.
Seeing that Li Pan could directly mobilize spy satellites, and he was also chatting and laughing with the General Security Bureau, of course the soldier Tequila did not hide it, and after thinking about it, he said,
"As far as I know, the entire rainforest was bought by private individuals, I don't know which cosmic tycoon's private real estate, a no-fly zone has been set up, there may be secret facilities, but it shouldn't be a factory, and there is no road in and out to import materials."
Then they looked at Rum.
Rum was entangled for a while, with a classic expression that Lao Tzu knew but Lao Tzu couldn't say.
Li Pan didn't force it, he would know if he went anyway.
"Wait a minute!" Rum stood up suddenly, "I'll go with you, it used to be a mission area, and it may be necessary to get access from the Security Service." ”
Tequila also stood up silently, apparently not intending to let Rum run away.
"Okay, I won't be able to delay a day anyway."
Li Pan naturally didn't care, and took them to the open space outside, a light star flashed in the sky, as if transparent water waves were rolling, and the optical invisible shuttle swooped down from the clouds and landed, unfolding the nano coating, showing the coat of arms decorated with dark gold scepters and the streamlined dark gold Yeshi Group luxury shuttle fuselage in front of everyone.
As the batwing-like shuttle doors flip open, red and black velvet upholstery and plush leather seats are revealed.
Li Pan stepped into the cabin, his eyes flashed with electronic light and the data of the shuttle was linked,
"You're welcome, just sit down, I have to update the settings for the boat I just bought, and there is a sparkling wine in the refrigerator."
Well, if one person runs over directly, three people can simply buy one, anyway, it's not expensive, the public price is 1,040, and the cost of internal agents will be taken within 700, and the goods will be transferred directly from the track.
Rum and Tequila were also stunned for a while, and cautiously got on the shuttle.
Rum took a glass of sparkling wine,
"Shhh...... This, this Martini...... No wonder you didn't drink a sip of the wine just now. ”
Li Pan sighed,
"Alas, it's all tears...... Okay, fly to the Darien Marsh first, and find out who bought the land now......"
Rum Road,
"You can't find it, it's the property of the Cool Baboon Group. It is said that the chairman who is directly under them has a VIP protection mechanism within the system......"
"Oh, the chairman's house."
So Li Pan flipped through the address book and made a phone call to Konstantin. Sacco...... 's secretary, it's not very good, just say that Lao Tzu may have to pass by your private territory, please give a temporary access to the 0791 plane.
Now the cool baboon is busy in 016, and he's counting on the monster company to help, so of course the Sacco family doesn't care about this big thing. As soon as you OK, you will turn on the permissions.
"Alright, the right of way is unlocked, let's fly right in. Are there any more specific coordinates? ”
“……”
Rum poured a glass of wine to calm his mood of complaining, and then zoomed out the approximate area on the holographic map,
"This rainforest was originally an asset of Takamagahara and used as a testing ground for biological research, but later the collection drone found the remains of an ancient civilization in the rainforest, identifying an ancient city suspected to be an Aztec civilization.
So the University of Tokyo organized a scientific research expedition into the ruins to explore, and later the expedition team was killed, so the local security bureau had a record of emergency rescue operations, it seems that the operation failed, and many people were lost, and the specific files can only be accessed by the General Administration.
After the war, the entire rainforest was bought by the Cool Baboon Group and became private territory. ”
"Oh, ancient cities."
Sounds pretty weird. I don't know if any companies are involved.
Tequila looked at Rum suspiciously,
"How do you know about something like this that has been in the dust for a long time? Even if you're from the Intelligence Division, you're not qualified to access this kind of sealed file, right? ”
Seeing that Li Pan also looked over, Rum shrugged his shoulders and poured another glass of sparkling wine,
"Several of my relatives died in that rescue operation."
Oh, there are still 'several', I guess this Rum is also some kind of ancestor and grandchild security person, Panamanian intelligence officer or something......
The shuttle flew through the clouds and into the rainforest, where it began to hover low above the canopy, unleashing small drones to scout what Rum called the ancient ruins.
However, Li Pan estimates that this kind of place is probably a special environment such as a blessed land, and nothing can be swept away with the equipment alone, so it must be interacted with with the naked eye and the human brain.
"There, this should be the expedition's camp."
Li Pan also saw the picture of the drone, at the edge of the swamp near the stream, there is a relatively low area of grass and trees, boxy, there are some abandoned equipment and tents, and it can be seen that there are traces of human stationing.
"I'll scout first, and then I'll land when I signal it."
The drones didn't find the legion, but who knows what those guys are capable of. After all, he wasn't cheated by the legion once, but twice......
So Li Pan opened the hatch and jumped directly into the jungle, AVNDS directly formed a spherical position, removed the surrounding branches and branches, and automatically formed a position, and also levitated, allowing him to land gently.
Well, the nanoworms consumed by this jump are one percent, and the value is 100,000 yuan.
Li Pan was so distressed that his liver was trembling, and he quickly turned off AVNDS.
Made's unaffordable......
Starting to speed up and jumping over the bushes from the flanks, Li Pan cautiously circled around the camp, did not find any trap magic array, and confirmed it with the naked eye one tent after another, and then signaled the shuttle to land.
"Guys from the Operations Division have been stationed here, and there are backup supply points."
After getting off the shuttle, Tequila searched the camp, and soon found a blockade metal box, opened it with the agent dog tag around his neck, and took out the camouflage jacket, rubber shoes, and bulletproof vest that was convenient for rainforest operations.
Rum also connected the backup motor, turned on the camp's communication relay station, and connected to the regional server.
"It stands to reason that such a camp would have been left behind by a group of reserves, with no signs of violent destruction or fighting, either because the retreat was hasty, or they had intended to return.
Found it, the coordinates of the ruins are five kilometers away, strange, the drone didn't find the facility in that direction? ”
"Maybe there's optical camouflage or radar stealth, just see for yourself."
Although he could rush over alone, Li Pan thought about it and decided to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.
After all, he is so strong now, what if the legion is so far away that it all runs? It's like the City of Night, and low-level dungeons can't be ranked.
So you have to use these two temporary teammates as stepping stones, and you can also observe the impact of this monster copy on ordinary people.
So he also restrained his breath, changed into a camouflage uniform, picked a shotgun and straddled it, and took a machete in his hand to lead the way.
These two people are also front-line agents, Tequila didn't say a word, they carried a machine gun and two rifles to follow, and they also brought a bunch of grenades, a large-caliber shotgun stuck in their waists, and dressed like jungle bandits.
Rum also carried military communications equipment on his back, put on an electronic ghost anti-jamming helmet and followed last, while simultaneously connecting and operating three old dog-sized drones, guarding behind and on the flanks, maneuvering them with batteries, ammunition, and other supplies.
The five-kilometer march in the rainforest swamp is actually quite difficult, but with Li Pan, a superman, carrying the road in front, he killed the surrounding snakes and insects with a knife, and the shuttle's own bat-type drone is on guard overhead, so naturally there is no big problem.
And soon Li Pan also found out that something was wrong with this place.
Snakes, there are too many snakes.
There are snakes everywhere, not only in the rainforest, but even more underground, literally from snake caves.
"That's not ......"
"Well, Quetzalkoartl, Quetzalcoatl."
Oh, did it trigger the plot?
Li Pan was obviously the first, but it was the two people behind him who discovered the city hidden in the rainforest.
Covered by the vine man and the body of the snake is the statue of the most famous Quetzalcoatl god king in Central America, covered in gorgeous feathers and winged giant serpents.
Oh, isn't that what it is.
Li Pan recognized it at a glance, he had seen it, he had seen it, and the one he killed with the Yuan Shen Method last time was not the same as this statue.
Quetzalcoatl, I see, the lizardmen of the Legion and their Quetzalcoatl God also have a rudder office on Earth, right?
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the ruins of the city, the drones that were obviously following him lost their signals, and the satellite network overhead could not be linked, so Li Pan also casually inquired with the local tour guide.
"What power does this god have? What are the weaknesses? What are your fetishes? ”
Tequila shook her head,
"I don't know very well, the civilization that worshiped this kind of god totem disappeared long before Takamagahara arrived, but the local indigenous people still worship it and some old people, and its pyramids and temples are also common in ancient monuments around the world."
"Quezalkoatl, Kukulkan, Quetzalcoatl King, Wind God and Rain God, Harvest Farmer Sun God, Ruler of the Stars, Spread Knowledge and Culture, Ruler of Rebirth and Death, It Was Once the Guardian of Civilization."
Rum was drunk, and walked towards the ruined wall that was blocked by the vine man and the snake body, and the snake group also avoided it automatically, revealing the mural that had been dusty for many years, as if showing the way, showing the layers of relief in front of everyone, like a picture scroll of civilization spread out, and as if walking along a hovering giant snake, little by little into the core of the ruins.
Legend has it that in the era when the wise Quetzalcoatl ruled the world, people had abundant goods and a prosperous life, and the world was peaceful and happy.
Until three demons from the abyss set their sights on this beautiful and rich country.
The demon of darkness, the demon of war, the demon of sorcery. ”
Rum groaned as he pointed to the mural as a black humanoid, a blood-colored baby, and a demon with a human head and a lizard-like huge and grotesque figure......
Anyway, this brother is so familiar......
The woman wore her hair draped and swayed, twisting her waist like a snake, and walked past the broken murals of the city walls that recorded killing, death, and destruction.
"The three demons used lies, sorcery, and poisonous wine to enchant Quetzalcoatl and put him in a coma.
Then he manipulated people's hearts, usurped, and plunged God's land into hell. Plunged into eternal desolation, war, madness, pestilence, and chaos.
God's land was torn apart, God's people were killed, and God's world was destroyed.
Eventually, Quetzalcoatl lost hope and decided to abandon his hard-earned kingdom and return to his homeland, Trabaran, on a golden boat.
The three demons stopped it and told it to keep all the technology it knew.
You know nothing but destruction, bloodlust and war!
Quetzalcoatl rebuked them,
One day, I will return from the sea of stars and expel you from my kingdom, and then I will give my knowledge to my people.
So Quetzalcoatl departed, and the people who had been forsaken by God were always looking forward to the day when he would return. ”
Rum fell headlong and nearly fell into a huge snake cave like a deep well in front of him.
Li Pan grabbed her and looked up at the ancient city hidden in the jungle river wall, showing in front of him.
In the center of the huge square is a huge cylindrical pit that looks like a magic altar, and countless snakes roll in the pit, and at the bottom of the pit can be seen a lot of white bones.
Fossils of human bones, apparently a large-scale human sacrifice was once carried out here, and the sacrificed humans were devoured alive, devoured flesh and blood, and reduced to a nest of snakes that lay eggs.
On the opposite side of the pit altar is the trapezoidal pyramid that Li Panjie saw in his dream, and from this angle, the top of the pyramid is facing the stars in the sky. However, such a clear starry sky, since humans polluted the earth's atmosphere, can only be seen in virtual Mewtwo. Obviously, I don't know how many years ago I recorded the illusion.
"She's alive."
Tequila withdrew the first aid kit and gave Rum a booster shot, and checked it again,
"Was it alcoholism, or was I bitten by a snake......
"I heard that the ancients could communicate with the gods when they were drunk, and it is estimated that her family has a bit of shamanic blood to open the door."
Li Pan glanced at the magic network of the city-state, turned his head to look at the tequila,
"Are you okay?"
Tequila shook her head and looked at the snakes around her,
"I don't believe in gods and ghosts, these snakes can't bite through my subcutaneous armor, not to mention that I have field implants that can synthesize antidote serum......"
Li Pan patted him on the shoulder,
"Good materialist warrior, then it's up to you, let's go."
Tequila,"? ”
Li Pan pointed to the altar,
"The legion may be up there, you go up and take a look, don't be afraid, I will protect you in the dark."
Agave, "......"
Li Pan, "Aren't you a soldier?" Do you not carry out the orders of the commander? ”
Tequila, "I'm here with the captain." ”
Belch......
"Then let's count the money, you go first, and I'll give you one million, is it enough?"
Tequila frowned,
"Are you sure there's a legion up there?"
Li Pan smiled, "What's the matter, are you afraid?" If you hang up, your wife will be raised by me! ”
Tequila was silent for a moment,
"I don't have a wife...... But I had twenty-four brothers, all of whom I personally selected from the company, brought them out, and died. This time it is a covert operation, and if the file is not unsealed, even if it is MIA, you will not get a penny of the pension.
If they are stigmatized as traitors again, then the interest-free loans, housing subsidies, military family treatment, and military school qualifications of their widows and orphans will all be gone, and the blood and sweat of this life will be in vain. ”
Li Pan nodded,
"Believe me, I also went to military school to get citizenship, I understand. A month's tuition and living expenses are less than a fucking bottle of sparkling wine in Lao Tzu's car......
I have covered your social security and medical insurance, student loans, and war pensions. ”
Tequila nodded, took off the dog tag containing the identity information on his neck and handed it to Li Pan, and rushed towards the pyramid with a machine gun without saying a word.
