Chapter 640 - Fault BlockIt was July, the noon of a hot summer day. A group of explorers walked over to the desert in the western border of China. This group of people wore common outdoor sports wear, sun hats, big bags, and wild adventure equipment such as compa.s.s and kettle hung from their waists.
Such a group of people were not rare in the Gobi Desert. In fact, every once in a while, groups of explorers would come to the Gobi Desert to investigate it. They either explored the topography or did scientific research.
However, what was surprising was that this group of explorers were all in their twenties, and they didn"t even invite a guide. There were only ten or so people, and they seemed to be aimlessly walking around.
But in truth, if someone were to carefully observe them, they would realize that although these people seemed lazy and it was extremely difficult for them to walk under the scorching sun, their eyes that were hidden under their sun hats were terrifyingly sharp. Moreover, on their wrists, there were high precision satellite positioning devices. However, this device appeared to be a watch, making it very inconspicuous.Moreover, although the formation of these people appeared to be rather loose, as if they were just casually walking around, if one were to observe carefully, one would be able to tell that there was a certain pattern to their formation. Whether it was the direction they were moving in or the distance between them, this pattern existed.
Moreover, no matter how these people moved, the distance between them didn"t change much. It was as though they were one ent.i.ty.
"# 1, how far are we from here?" A young man who was walking at the front turned around and asked his companion."Sir, according to the location marked on the satellite map, we are close to our target." A young man beside him said.
"Close to the target? "How much longer exactly?" The leader of the group asked with a frown on his face.
"Half an hour at most." The young man beside him said in a low voice as he looked at the electronic map.
"This trip will take around half an hour. If we were to hurriedly march, it would take at most 10 minutes to reach there …" Has the Special Forces sent a message? " the young man asked again.
"Not yet." The young man beside him said.The youth pondered for a moment: "Alright, find a hidden place and we will take a break. We have to be careful not to expose our target."
"Yes sir!" The young man immediately said. He waved his hand and shouted, "Find a place to rest!" Number 9 and number 10 are in charge of security! "
They quickly found a pile of weathered rocks and sat down on the lee side."We"re finally about to arrive." Leaning back against the rock that wasn"t too hard, the leader of the group drank from the kettle and said, "Everyone be on your guard. When the special forces send out the signal, we will immediately get close. Everyone be careful.
"Yes sir!" The others answered in unison.This group of people were the ten special forces led by Ji Feng and his Red Arrow Squadron. The one leading them was naturally Ji Feng, and beside him were Gu Chao and Liu Xin.
In order to prevent their ident.i.ties from being revealed, Ji Feng and the others used code names to address each other. Ji Feng was named mister, Gu Chao was number one, and Liu Xin was number two … The ten of them lined up, from number one to ten.
The reason why Ji Feng and the others appeared in the Gobi Desert was to prevent their target from being exposed. That was why they separated from the special forces led by Eternal War. They relied on their satellite positioning system and electronic maps to travel alone. According to the previous agreement between Ji Feng and Yong Zhan, this time, the special forces would be in charge of the main attack, while Ji Feng and the others would be at the side to a.s.sist. They would be in charge of protecting the special forces, as well as the fish that would not escape the net.
Ji Feng had no objection to this arrangement.
He knew that the Special Forces had been through many battles, and they had a lot of experience dealing with transformers. The current Red Arrow Squadron could not be compared to them. Thus, in order to gain more experience, Ji Feng agreed.
In fact, based on the a.n.a.lysis of the individual combat abilities of the two teams, the Red Arrow Squad"s soldiers were more suited to attack. It should be known that since half a year ago, the Red Arrow Squadron"s soldiers had already started practicing their physical exercises. In terms of physical fitness, the Special Forces soldiers were slightly weaker than the Red Arrow soldiers.
However, on the battlefield, although individual combat capabilities were important, when attacking, the most important thing was to coordinate their combat capabilities. The Red Arrow Squadron wasn"t lacking in this aspect, but they lacked the experience to deal with the Transformers.Ji Feng couldn"t help but look up at the sky. Under the scorching sun, even lizards and other creatures that were most suited to living in the desert wouldn"t dare to randomly wander around. In this kind of environment, the opponent wouldn"t be too vigilant.
Moreover, on this desert, there were many weathered boulders. The terrain was uneven and was extremely easy to hide. The route and timing of the attacks were all extremely accurate. It seemed like he had really put in a lot of effort.
"Number one, once the battle starts, try to catch a few living transformers if you have the chance. Of course, if everyone can guarantee their safety, if it"s really impossible, then we can just directly shoot them down. Safety is first. " Ji Feng reminded.Gu Chao immediately said, "Don"t worry, sir, I"ll do my best to catch him alive."
From Gu Chao"s point of view, what Mister wants to capture alive is probably because he doesn"t want the special forces to be in the vanguard. However, no matter what Mister"s goal is, Gu Chao only has one answer — follow the order with determination!"Also, remember this: if there are really people that managed to escape from the Special Forces attack and fight with us, remember, do not engage in close combat with them. If you can deal with them with a gun, you must use a gun to deal with them. Even if you want to capture them, you must first beat them until they have no fighting strength, and then go and capture them." Ji Feng reminded once more.
"Yes, sir!" Gu Chao immediately pa.s.sed on Ji Feng"s message with a special hand gesture. The others immediately saluted him, indicating that they understood and that they will resolutely carry out the order.Ji Feng couldn"t help but nod his head in satisfaction. Although it was only on the plane that the special hand signals from the special forces were temporarily added, with Ji Feng"s terrifying memory, he had already memorized the sign signals. Otherwise, he wouldn"t have dared to easily command Gu Chao and the others.
Being the leader in a battle wasn"t to show off, but to win. Furthermore, he had to do his best to ensure the safety of his subordinates. A leader who didn"t care about the safety of his subordinates definitely wouldn"t be supported.
It was noon, and the weather was getting hotter. Looking over, one could clearly see the heat rising from the ground, as if it was being burned by a furnace. Even Ji Feng, who had extraordinary body adjustment, could feel a wave of heat blowing towards him. From this, he could imagine how high the temperature was.
"Beep, beep, beep …"
Ji Feng"s watch suddenly rang. He immediately raised his hand to take a look and shouted in a low voice, "Everyone, get ready. Our comrades have already sent a signal. Prepare to a.s.sist in the attack!"Tss tss ~ ~!
Ji Feng and the others quickly unzipped the bags on their back. At the same time, they took out their weapons and camouflage clothing.
"Crack crack!" The sounds of gunfire rang out incessantly. Everyone lowered their heads to inspect the automatic rifle and the other weapons in their hands.
"Di, Di, Di, Di!"
Ji Feng"s watch once again let out a slow and unhurried cry. His expression instantly turned cold as he began to move towards Eternal War!
According to the previous agreement, the rapid shouts of the watch meant that they were already close to the target. Once they made such a slow sound, it meant that they loved to attack, and it was a very covert attack.
"Da Da Da —!" The sound of gunshots could be heard vaguely, but soon after, there was no more sound."He"s making his move." Ji Feng"s expression turned cold as he shouted in a low voice, "Everyone, spread out and maintain contact. Pay attention to your safety!"
With that said, Ji Feng put on his helmet and rushed out with his automatic rifle. He quickly headed towards the location indicated on his watch.
All the partic.i.p.ants of this operation had a military watch with a screen half the size of their palm. On this watch, there were many functions such as satellite location, signal tracking, short distance communication, and alarm. In addition, it could also input electronic maps. Once a target was set, the navigation system would automatically activate, leading the owner straight to the target."Let"s go!" With a wave of his hand, Gu Chao charged out as well.
Ji Feng was on high alert and his speed was extremely fast. He moved along the large weathered rocks in the desert, quickly closing in on his target. Not too far away from him, Gu Chao, Liu Xin, and the others followed closely behind, each of them on alert.
As Ji Feng and the others proceeded deeper into the desert, the environment began to change. A fault appeared in the desert.
It was like a wall, standing in front of Ji Feng and the others.
This kind of feeling was as if a person was walking forward and a cliff suddenly appeared in front of them.Although Ji Feng and the others were not facing a cliff, they felt as if the earth had just collapsed. It was as if the land in front of them had suddenly risen more than ten meters into the air.
Because of the terrain, Ji Feng and the others hadn"t discovered this fault, but now, it had become a huge obstacle in their path.
"Sir, should we go around it?" Gu Chao walked up to him and said in a low voice, "We don"t have any climbing tools with us. We"re so tall, but we can"t climb up."
Ji Feng looked left and right. The fault line was endless and looked like it was at least a few miles away. It would be a waste of time to go around it.
Bang!
"Wait a moment."Suddenly, Ji Feng froze. He seemed to hear the sounds of fighting.
Ji Feng"s gaze landed on the huge fault in front of him. He frowned as he stared at the fault in shock.
"This sound seems to be …" From inside the fault? " Ji Feng asked uncertainly.
