Chapter 1602: Death Pressure
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There were three small teams stationed on the island. Mu Yuan’s status level was not enough for him to be a small team leader; thus, the leader was someone from country F. There were three small squads below, making up more than 20 people. There was no one else on the island, and there were only more than 20 of them stationed. Shan Ning and Mu Yuan were conducting a dry run.
The people from storm mercenaries had received the mission this time. They came in a threatening manner. While Mu Yuan’s small technical team was awaiting orders remotely, a technical soldier came over hurriedly. “All the communication equipment on the island have been infected with a virus.”
“What?” Mu Yuan frowned. All the external communication equipment had been infected with a virus. He contacted the small technical team from MISS and realized that he had also lost contact with them. After the small technical team from MISS was infected with the virus, they immediately relayed the news to the headquarters. After checking, it was found that the virus had infiltrated from the island. It directly infected all the equipment that was linked to the island. They had to cut off the power supply in order to clean up the virus.
The small technical team cut off the power supply immediately. The contact was broken off, and they had to restart it again. It needed eight minutes. At the same time, they sent a text message to Mu Yuan. After Mu Yuan realized that he could not contact them, he also received the text message.
Originated from the island?
“The virus had infiltrated from the island. It cut off contact with the outside world. By restarting our system again, we can establish contact.”
The small team leader immediately opposed that idea. “If you cut off the power supply and break off contact, we’ll be out of touch for eight minutes. If we come under attack, we will not have a way to call for help.”
Mu Yuan said, “There is also not much difference between network paralysis and loss of contact now.”
The big team leader thought for a while and went inside. “Break off the power supply immediately and restart again.”
Mu Yuan had a bad premonition in his heart. Was it someone internally who had spread the virus from inside? There were many people on the island, and they came from different countries. In other words, anyone could be a suspect.
Shan Ning said, “You are not the team leader. It’s fine if nothing happens. If something happens and you have acted so rashly like this, the first person they will look for is you.”
“You are a diplomat. I am a soldier. Our styles of doing things are different,” Mu Yuan said. The immediate thing that a diplomat thought of was to settle the problem amicably or perhaps using tactics like pus.h.i.+ng the responsibility to others or lying without blinking, etc.
Mu Yuan had always been a soldier on the frontlines. What he thought of was to fight a quick battle to force a quick decision.
However, a cannonball crossed over the sky and suddenly bombarded the island. Mu Yuan watched helplessly as the cannonball headed towards the island in an attack. The cannonball attack came at that moment when contact was broken off.
“There’s a cannonball attack. Get away, get away!” Mu Yuan roared. He pulled Shan Ning and fell to the beach immediately. The cannonball flattened the land within a few meters of their circ.u.mference. It hit their temporary command post.
A thick layer of beach dust covered their bodies. There were quite a number of people who were buried. There was chaos everywhere. Mu Yuan crawled out from the beach dust. He touched his face and did not know whose fresh blood had covered his whole face.
“Shan Ning?”
“I’m fine, I’m fine!”
Mu Yuan turned his head and saw a corpse that was blown up. Mu Yuan did not have enough time to feel sad or mourn when he heard the team leader’s voice. “Get ready for category one combat. Everybody, get ready for category one combat!”
Mu Yuan turned his head and looked towards the sea. He saw eight speedboats on the surface of the sea das.h.i.+ng towards them. Three of the speedboats were installed with Gatling guns. The bullets seemed to be free as they sprayed towards them.
Mu Yuan’s eyes were filled with anger. He pulled Shan Ning and ran inside. They ran towards the weapon equipment area on the island.
“Follow me!”
Shan Ning turned back and looked. He suddenly felt a chill in his whole body.. It was not his first time being on the frontlines, but it was his first time feeling a terrifying pressure of death.
