Chapter 57 Wide Area Scanning
By 10:20 a.m., reinforcements from the airport arrived at Enshi Canyon one after another. With the military forces, various large instruments, base station weapon systems, and biochemical defense devices were also introduced. These bulky equipment were unloaded from the transport helicopter and then installed on the cliffs at the bottom of the canyon and on both sides.
In some people's opinion, this is a bit of a big deal, but in the current situation, it is a last resort. The information revealed by the sniper at the Gate of Truth made Dai Bingcheng alert. Although he had been fully prepared for the arrival of those people in the past, Adam has now appeared - he has no time to think carefully and re-arrange the deployment.
You should know that thing seems to be getting stronger. If you spend a few days reintegrating the information and giving detailed arguments by experts from afar, you may not be enough now.
At present, in the battle against Adam, ordinary people are almost like cannon fodder characters - even more difficult than cannon fodder. Because they may be controlled by that mysterious force and counterattack against their comrades.
There are only so many executives in total, and they cannot be replenished like ordinary soldiers.
So he chose an effective stupid method - to defend and alert on the periphery with powerful conventional armed forces, and to go deep into the ground from the capable person. After all, this is China and the home court. Even if the king of the earth is resurrected, the four Apocalypse Knights all become super-level kings, and they cannot confront the elite regular troops of nearly 3,000 people.
At this moment, Li Zhen was standing at the bottom of the canyon, and at the entrance that the sniper said frowned slightly.
He took the time to make up for four hours and felt quite energetic. But now standing here, he felt a little panicked. A few meters away from the front was a pine tree, rooted on a huge trapezoidal rock. Half of the whiskers went deep into the cracks of the rock, and the other part of the roots hung down, forming a natural curtain behind the boulder.
These roots are as thick as arms, and are tangled into a ball, with dry and cracked skin, as if they have not been touched for some years. This place is hidden, and most people would not think that the entrance to the cave is behind this old tree. But the problem is that there are no signs of entry and exit here.
Adam was two meters tall and had ferocious bone spurs on his limbs. If such a big guy walked in from here, why did the entrance of the cave look like this rarely visited?
Of course, it was not just him who considered this. In fact, this place had been detected three hours ago. The conclusion was that there was indeed a passage behind the boulder. The passage was obliquely downward and had many forks, which seemed to be connected to the underground river.
So more than a dozen octopus spider-type robots were put in and surveyed and mapped the environment inside the cave before the action. The surveying conclusion was that this line was not a main road.
The entrance to the main road seemed to be three kilometers away - this is the approximate data obtained from the detection results. Adam should have sneaked into the underground from there and walked all the way to the tomb chamber below the cliff. From this, it is inferred that the people at the Gate of Truth may have known the existence of the entrance, and then entered the underground and discovered this entrance again.
An elite force was immediately dispatched to set up a warning area near the entrance and entered the main road under the leadership of several executives. However, after advancing for hundreds of meters, it was found that the main road was blocked. The falling rocks would not be formed for a long time, about a few days ago - when the people from the Secret Service came here.
The four people in Li Zhen's group sat on the weeds against a rock, basking in the warm winter sun, waiting for the subsequent results. Guan Xinyuan squinted his eyes and looked at the expert group station in the distance, and said confidently: "Those people must be inside. Maybe they have laid an ambush, it depends on whether we dare to go in."
Li Zhen didn't say anything, but he agreed to the idea of caring for his wishes. This entrance is too far from the area previously designated by the expert group. Now they are located three kilometers away from the previous camp. If the people at the Gate of Truth do have more detailed information, they can indeed lurk in without knowing it.
But... he frowned: "Why do you feel like they always know a little more than we do? This is China, and they have no reason to find Chiyou's tomb in the legend, right?"
Ying resolutely bounced the ashes in his hand and smiled helplessly: "Didn't you say that they have prophets. Prophets and prophets are also different... Unfortunately, our one is a little weaker."
"Didn't it mean that the things the prophet saw were all vague? How could he see something like the entrance to the tomb? This is too specific." Li Zhen shook his head.
"Come on, we are not prophets." Hu Yanling pointed to the distance, "I'll ask each group to go to the meeting, who are you going?"
The three men shook their heads together: "If you don't go... you're exhausted after moving the equipment all morning."
"I've been shooting all night!" Hu Yanling glared at them, got up and walked towards the expert group.
So the three behind her laughed meaningfully together.
Five minutes later, Hu Yanling came back. She waved her hand as she walked: "Get up, open the eyepiece, and you may have to set off in half an hour. Pay attention to receiving the battlefield notification later."
Eyepieces refer to the large sunglasses on their tactical helmets that can cover half of their faces - a lot of information will be displayed directly on the left screen of the eyepiece. However, because legend has long-term use of this eyepiece will make people squinted, most people are still unhappy to stare at it.
Li Zhen had to put down the eyepiece, and his eyes turned slightly dark, and a prompt popped up in his sight. He blinked three times quickly, and a row of information was read out.
Then he was slightly stunned, lifted his eyepiece up, turned around and asked Ying Jue Ran: "Do those people in the military region have our chemical defense suits?"
At this time, Ying Jueran's face was not very good-looking, and he shook his head: "Our body is worth tens of thousands of yuan, so how can ordinary troops afford it? I guess they have to take medicine and hide in the tent. That one has more or less a blocking function."
Li Zhen stopped talking.
What I just saw was a warning message: a wide area scan will be performed in ten minutes.
The electronic watch they are wearing on their left wrist can detect bioelectric waves of capable people, but the people at the Gate of Truth seem to have some way to effectively shield them. So a base station monitoring point was set up near the camp before. The large detection equipment and tools are powerful, which are definitely not something that a single-soldier shielding device can resist.
But at this moment, the people at the Gate of Truth seemed to be hiding in the underground passage, with thick mountains isolated, so the base station equipment was powerless.
Therefore, the command center decided to adopt a more powerful detection method - wide-area scanning. This method can penetrate thick mountains and conduct large-scale and high-intensity exploration through ionizing radiation. But in the same way, it will cause considerable damage to the human body - perhaps it cannot be detected in a short period of time, but the hidden dangers will eventually appear after a period of time.
The combat uniforms of the executives themselves have three-defense functions, but those ordinary soldiers...
Li Zhen didn't know what to say.
Ying Jueran seemed to know what he was thinking, patted his shoulder and whispered: "There is nothing you can do, because the situation is forcing you to get used to it. But you can think about it, we will be the ones who enter later. Maybe they will be dead."
He had already realized this, but he still felt a little awkward. The soldiers of the military district troops were only responsible for the periphery and did not know what kind of enemy they were going to face, but they had to endure such an encounter unclearly before taking over the enemy.
This order was issued by Director Dai...
He felt that his impression of him seemed to be a little deviant in the past.
Guan Xinyou silently pulled out the protective surface in his helmet, put down his eyepiece, and said in a muffled voice: "Get ready."
Ten minutes later, Li Zhen saw a red warning sign on the eyepiece again. The symbol flashed three times and finally froze into a line of warning words.
Then the whole world suddenly became quiet.
Although it is winter, Shennongjia's geographical location is southerly, and the temperature is close to zero or above ten degrees during the day. Therefore, birds are always singing in the dense primeval forests in the valley, and even insects are heard - just like early summer in the north.
But when the warning text is frozen, all the sounds disappear. It is as if the surrounding world has turned into silent color photos.
The silence lasted for less than two seconds, and then the forest began to boil. It seemed that the birds, beasts, and insects were frightened at the same time. Large areas of birds rose into the air in panic, forming a cloud almost over the dense forest area. But they were now dizzy, as if they were scared out of their courage, and the flight route was chaotic, and some birds even collided with each other, and many smaller birds fell like raindrops.
There was also a rustling sound of wild beasts running around in the forest. A skunk with a circle of white hair on his head rushed straight to Hu Yanling in a panic, and she kicked it away. Even in the cliffs in the distance, the areas where the mutants wandered, there were faint sounds of howlings coming - it seemed that after the change, they had the instinct like beasts.
Even Li Zhen felt a little dry, but he felt that it seemed to be his psychological effect.
The wide-area scan lasts for ten seconds. After ten seconds, the warning text on the eyepiece is converted to green, and the prompt can remove the three precautions.
However, the birds and wild beasts were still in shock, and they struggled for a while before calming down again. I don’t know what changes will occur in their bodies.
