The Nicks of Intertwined Fates Chapter 153: The Speck That Fell into the Muddy (5)
As the number of people increased, there was a new development in the search.
Life detectors were used for the first time in searches.
Harris doesn't believe in evil anymore, such a small place, and it's not a key point, there are so many wielders on standby, and even a terrifyingly powerful armor like Mel Hillaire has been sent to deploy.
Of course, there is also a possibility of a trap.
However, it is impossible to have such insight into the combat power of facing one's own side, even if he and Ji Si forget it, Ye Suqin is an unexpected variable, how can the other party calculate it.
If you want to ambush them, only half of the brand bearers are enough.
Harris, who doesn't show the status of a black knight, can't even kill those three weirdos with very different abilities, and Keith is a different story. Ye Suqin can only be regarded as an additive.
And the state of the black knight, even Harris has been able to grasp it recently, and it is impossible for the other party to have detailed information.
Therefore, it can only be said that the other party does have some secrets here, and it has to lay heavy guards, but it can't be fanfare, so a hundred ordinary soldiers were appointed to pretend to be an ordinary fortress stronghold defense.
Inside, there are a lot of high-level battles.
If you are an ordinary person, you may also be fooled. But how vicious is the vision of Harris and others; Besides, the two of them came to investigate the rescue meeting, and they would not let go of the slightest clue.
Harris had sensed that the bailout seemed to be hatching a big conspiracy, but he did not yet have any viable evidence, not even the slightest corroboration, and the other party was very tightly covered.
Even the Freemasons, who are partners, may only know a few scaly claws.
But there is no doubt where this knife hangs.
The other party is scheming, there is no doubt that the first thing to deal with is the Habsburgs, as for the next target after the Habs, maybe the clock tower or something else.
At present, there are many forces involved in this grand conspiracy, and all of them are extraordinary.
The Northern Federation will not send armed men to such a place where birds don't across tens of thousands of miles of continents and oceans.
Then, there must be something that is of interest to both sides.
Although there are no direct signs, Harris slightly calculated, in addition to the genetic level that can probably arouse the interest of the Northern Federation, it is only the "beast" type of technology.
Doodle!!!
The hand-held detector beeped, and dozens of red dots appeared abruptly on the display.
"Underground." Guise glanced at the instrument in his hand.
"No wonder I can't find it." Harris suddenly realized, and then a little excited.
With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen servants wearing chemical protective suits and armed with rifles rushed out from behind and searched for the headquarters building.
As expected, the thing was indeed near the headquarters building, and it was buried deep in the ground, and it seemed that the entrance might not be found for a while.
Since the facility is built underground, the entrance must have been built in an extremely secluded place.
"You two stay, I'll go to the camp and have a look." Harris nodded at the two of them, the team had just arrived, and they were about to face the two super forces that occupied the location and were hidden behind the wind and snow, relying on the three hundred people in their hands, it was really a little thin.
Although Harris's subordinates are excellent in strength and are obviously equipped with a generation higher than the opponent's side, Harris is still a little uneasy and needs to personally go over to command and plan the deployment of defenses.
Because Ye Suqin was unconscious, he smashed a nuclear reactor in Melerhilaire, although the radiation was not as strong as just now, the radiation dust material was still diffusely diffused, and the location from the center of the explosion point was no longer able to treat people.
Hu came in a hurry and didn't carry much protective equipment at all.
Now that most of the Prius is shrouded in radiation, it is only a matter of time before the south of the city can be temporarily stationed, and with the passage of time and the spread of radiation fallout, it is only a matter of time before the south of the city is contaminated.
Originally, it was envisaged that a defensive battle could be fought with the strong city defenses and intricate neighborhoods of Prius, but now such an idea is obviously not enough.
It's a race against time.
It takes time to assemble an army on the opposite side, and it takes time for them to dig underground fortifications, depending on which side accomplishes the objective first.
Hu Cong's team brought fifty general-purpose mechs, three heavy mechs, thirty bipedal self-propelled guns, and a large number of drones. In addition, the conventional equipment also carried nine improved "Badger" infantry vehicles, one Braider mine-sweeping and anti-electronic detection equipment multi-purpose engineering vehicle, three "Mongoose" multi-purpose airborne vehicles with integrated anti-self-defense, and five heavy-duty multi-terrain utility trucks.
In any era, this equipment would have been enough to arm a reinforced division, but now it is only used to equip less than three hundred men, which can be described as armed to the teeth.
This is a powerful weapon that is enough to destroy the country in both the old and new eras, but somehow, everyone has no bottom in their hearts.
The AWACS aircraft signalled the enemy's encounter, and armed groups ranging in number from 100 to 300 appeared on the edge of the station, 20 kilometres away, constantly lingering around the cordon, without penetrating, as if waiting for other units to come and converge.
Five minutes later, the AWACS aircraft was shot down.
Six minutes later, Harris's side launched a short-range attack, using 70 suicide drones to indiscriminately bomb several locations.
Ten minutes later, six battlefield real-time monitoring drones rose into the air and flew towards four early warning directions.
The first wave of fighting between the two sides has come to an end for the time being, and the casualties are unknown, but the opposite side is not unscrupulously breaking into the opponent's warning range, but retreating more than ten kilometers backwards, secretly hibernating.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the exploration team finally discovered the entrance to the underground facility, which was very hidden, and was crushed by a discarded vortex furnace weighing several tons in a scrapped equipment maintenance station.
It took a lot of effort to move away, and the two Hu took the lead in entering the underground facility with a flashlight, Harris did not come, he commanded the enemy on the front line, and it was Ye Suqin and Ji Si who were in charge of this item, and the two glanced at each other and stepped in one after another.
The downward corridor is a staircase carved in earth and stone, not straight down, but suddenly turning and going straight down, and the surrounding rock layers can be seen to polish the road markings from the drilling rig, which is very simple, and there are no reinforcement facilities. Fortunately, it is located in a rock area, and the underground rock formation is compact and stable, otherwise it would have to collapse.
Coming down from the entrance, after a dozen steps, there is a huge drilling platform, and a rudimentary elevator is erected vertically in the hollow area at the edge, and the metal railing has been rusted, but the condition is still very new, indicating that the frequency of use is not high; From the traces, it can be deduced that this place was built about four or five years ago, so it is speculated that it was an underground facility built by the company Prius privately.
What the hell did Priss find that he had to spend a lot of money to build such a large hidden space underground.
And from what secret channels did the rescue committee inquire about such a hidden thing?
Guise was a little nervous, and his curiosity was aroused.
The engine of the rappelling elevator was partially destroyed by violence and was no longer usable, so it had to go down the stone stairs. There was no need to say hello, and the two of them went straight down.
The five servants in the back were carefully guarded with their guns, and while slowly following them, they held the trigger and were ready to fire at any time.
A few thumb-thick drones have been released, and they flew down faster than the two guards who were the first to detect, but they quickly lost their tracks, and the operator shook his head, "The signal is poor underground, and this seems to be an abandoned iron ore field, there are a lot of poor iron ore in the surrounding rock formations, the magnetic field is disordered, and the other party uses advanced jammers." ”
Everyone nodded, more vigilant.
The stone steps are not deep, about seventy or eighty steps, and it is only about forty or fifty meters away from the surface overhead, and at the end of the steps is a semi-natural, semi-artificial underground karst cave, the tunnel is very long, and at the end is a large iron gate.
The space here is narrow, the head is narrow and the waist is thick, densely covered with several small karst caves and forks for only one person, and the terrain is still a little complicated.
Ye Suqin raised his eyes and saw that the sky dome and the four walls were watered with reinforced concrete all around, and they were covered with thumb-thick steel plates. It should not be necessary, and as an underground fortification, it is not to guard prisoners, so it does not need to be done as such.
The steel plate is rough, the material is average, and there are markings and grooves left by the die-casting machine after casting, without grinding, polishing and lacquering, just like a rough and shoddy product made in a hurry. The rivets are old, the models are different, and the depths of the rivets are also different, and there is a smell of tofu slag engineering everywhere.
Prius is only a medium-sized company, although it is already making steel, and there is no shortage of raw materials and processes, but it is a bit too wasteful to use it extravagantly.
According to the data, Price is not the kind of guy with deep pockets, who has been mired in financial deficits for many years, and it was Cartlett who took action many times to recover the decline from top to bottom.
However, it is such a company, and it is impossible to see any rich company from top to bottom, which would spare no effort to shape such an underground facility, what is the intention.
Ji Si and Ye Suqin glanced at each other, and involuntarily quickened their pace.
The cave is artificially divided into three parts, the platform under the stone ladder, there is a sliding door pulled by steel mesh in the narrow area in the middle, and a large iron lock is hung at the lock position, the iron lock is welded to death, but it is difficult for everyone, someone brought an acetylene gas cutting machine, and quickly cut a one-person high hole in the barbed wire fence.
The advance troops rushed in.
To be careful, two warriors stepped out of the crowd and explored the way forward with rifles. The follow-up crowd slowed down and followed twenty paces away, looking wary, staring at the forks in the road that could hide people.
The wind underground, a little restless.
Ye Suqin's pupils constricted slightly, he smelled a restless breath, the aisle was not wide, like a wriggling mouth, and the warriors in front of him seemed to be like bait that was about to enter the gate of hell.
"Wait!" Ye Suqin's exit was blocked.
The people who were moving forward looked back in confusion.
Along the way, there was no decent resistance, and everyone was actually a little lax in their hearts, but after all, they were soldiers who had experienced a hundred battles, and they still had the military qualities they should have.
The terrain here is narrow, but it is not a suitable location for ambushes, plus the enemy is outnumbered, and the other party is in the encirclement, so it naturally has a little sense of superiority psychologically.
Everyone looked at Ye Suqin who was stunned suspiciously, not knowing what instructions this chief had.
"Retreat." Ye Suqin's face changed, and he hurriedly greeted the people who were moving forward, and the second monk was confused, and swept his gaze to Jisi again, after all, Ye Suqin was a guest army, not a top boss, so there was an extra process of inquiry.
Guise also cast a puzzled look.
The next second.
There was a loud bang.
The whole ground trembled slightly under the high explosives. A thick cloud of smoke with countless rubble erupted from the cave, followed by cracks of varying degrees on both sides of the cave.
"Ahem.... cough cough...."Several people supported each other to stand up, their ears were buzzing and roaring, and they couldn't hear it clearly when they approached loudly, plus the closed environment, many people were already deaf, and a line of blood flowed out of their ears.
Guise lay on the ground and got up, looking at the ruins in front of him, speechless for a moment.
If Ye Suqin hadn't opened his mouth and shouted to stop the team, then this pile of ruins would have smashed on his head. It's a pity that the two people who went first have been rescued.
The bombs were placed inside the steel plates on the roof of the cave, and it was evident that they were not hastily laid out at the moment, but were planted at the time of construction, and were used as a last resort to defend against the enemy.
The collapsed rocks and earth covered most of the tunnel, and the area was so extensive that if it were excavated by manpower, it would not be possible to clear a road for people to pass for a day.
But they don't have a day left.
The survivors began to form teams, rescue the wounded, and disperse the guards.
The casualties have been counted, in addition to the two who hit the head and were crushed under the rubble, one person was seriously injured by the flying stones, and the rest of the people were also injured to varying degrees.
"Captain, you go up, send fifty more people down, and you must dig me through before dawn. It doesn't matter if you up with a directional bomb, or dig it with exoskeleton armor, in short, do whatever it takes to complete the task for me. Guise commanded with an angry face.
"Yes, sir."
Ye Suqin stared at the tunnel, and suddenly snatched the rifle of the nearby soldiers, and fired a series of shots. In the dusty sky, there was the movement of some mechanical parts of the dome being shattered.
"When digging, leave a group of people on guard, I'm worried that the other party will send personnel to attack our diggers at any time, and they won't let us pass through here easily." Ye Suqin threw the rifle to the soldiers on the side and admonished.
Giss took a closer look and found that what was smashed was a six-legged multi-purpose unmanned probe that could walk on the cliff face.
"I remember that we had a few robot dogs on our equipment list. All of them were dispatched. ”
"But, but ......" the captain said: "The robot dog is a sharp weapon for reconnaissance of complex terrain, and the few planes we brought were all dispatched to monitor the marching trajectory of the hostile armed forces from the ground. ”
"What's the matter, we didn't plan to spend the New Year here." Guise glared at him viciously, "Do as I command." ”
"Yes, sir." The captain saluted.
