After Black Fox asked about the situation of the drone, he communicated with the personnel in the other two vehicles through the on-board radio system.
After confirming that all current conditions were normal and everything was under control, he ended the radio call.
Sophia, who had been sitting silently next to Long Zhan, suddenly asked: "Why don't you stop for inspection when you pass the border checkpoint?"
Sophia, everyone else who crossed the border just now needs to be inspected by border officials.
And it is checked once in each country at the checkpoint.
When this convoy passed the border, not only did neither country block the road for inspection, the car didn't even need to stop, it just stepped on the accelerator and drove past.
This made her feel that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell for a while.
"because……"
Long Zhan was stunned for a moment when he was asked, but he quickly reacted and said with a mysterious smile in a suppressed tone: "Because we are very special."
Sophia was not fooled by Long Zhan's words, and said with faint eyes: "You don't look like police officers. The police officers I have seen are different from you."
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
Although police officers and soldiers are both people with guns, the two professions are in different environments, face different enemy targets, and the temperament exuded by their bodies will be completely different.
This difference in temperament is very subtle, and generally people who are not delicate enough cannot feel it at all.
Sophia did it, and her observation was indeed delicate enough.
As for Long Zhan, it is definitely a good thing for Sophia to take the initiative to say such things to him, which means that there is a basic recognition between the two.
But the question raised by Sophia was too subtle, and he couldn't give a positive explanation.
It can only be solved from another angle.
"We rescued you from the kidnappers, and now we are going to great lengths to send you back. This is our job, and you are also the direct beneficiary.
As for whether we are police officers or soldiers, it makes no sense or difference to you. You just need to sit here quietly and wait to go home with gratitude."
Long Zhan did not explain or refute, but responded with a tough attitude.
Perhaps it was because the expression on Long Zhan's face had changed. When he spoke, he no longer had the same smile as before, and his body also exuded a strong and heavy aura.
Sophia, who suddenly felt stressed, opened her mouth hesitantly, and finally chose not to ask further questions.
Also aware.
Continuing to ask questions is in vain.
As the conversation between Long Zhan and Sophia ended, the car returned to silence again, leaving only the roar of the hummer's moving engine.
Nearly an hour passed quickly!
Nearly half of the journey has been completed. At this speed, it will not take more than three hours, at most two hours to reach the destination.
Unfortunately, it used to be a national highway paved with asphalt, and the speed on the smooth surface could exceed 100.
The rest of the way is not that easy.
"Call Hummer 01, this is Bird, half a mile ahead is the top of the asphalt road."
Hearing the reminder from the command base, Black Fox, who was closing his eyes to rest, opened his eyes, took off the microphone of the vehicle communicator and asked: "Please repeat."
"Half a mile ahead, the asphalt road ends, and the rest is sand and hardened road."
The hardened sand and gravel roads in the desert wilderness are usually not as good as asphalt and slightly better than the potholed dirt roads. The main reason is that there is a very annoying problem.
That is, the weather is very dry and dusty, and high-speed driving will raise thick dust.
The kind that can't see the road clearly.
"Ok, I see!"
Black Fox has also been in this area for several years. Rudolf Giger was her best partner at that time. She naturally knows the problems of driving in the Mexican wilderness.
"Call 02 and 03. After half a mile, we entered a sandy and hardened road. The dust was very serious. In order to avoid falling behind, we all put on thermal imaging cameras."
Long Zhan heard the reminders and instructions from Black Fox on the car communicator, and asked David Li who was driving: "Xiao Lizi, have you brought a thermal imaging camera?"
David reached out and patted the bag on the right rear side of the seat, and replied: "I brought it with me, it's in my passenger bag."
Long Zhan reached over and grabbed the steering wheel and said, "I'll help you get the steering wheel. You take it quickly. There are four cars in front of us, and the dust will definitely be more serious by then."
"Sure enough, nothing is simple!"
David, who thought this trip would be easy, smiled and complained.
Keeping your right foot pressed on the accelerator of the car, you turn your upper body around and open the sub-bag of the tactical backpack at the back, take out the thermal imaging camera and install it on the bulletproof helmet. After quickly adjusting the settings, you put the helmet on your head.
The thermal imager model is AN/PAS-29, developed and produced by No. 1 Optical Company in the United States.
Just fix it on the night vision lens barrel, it can have the dual effect of low-light night vision and thermal imager, which can effectively improve the clarity of vision.
"Boom! Boom, boom, boom..."
Just as David put the video camera on, the Humvee suddenly sank more than ten centimeters, and the sound of tires crushing stones and sand suddenly began.
What followed was earthy yellow dust, rising from the sky at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Taking up the entire field of view, wrapping the entire fleet.
"Cough cough cough..."
The dust that poured in from the driver in front caught Sophia off guard and took a breath. She immediately covered her nose with her clothes and coughed uncomfortably.
Seeing this scene, Long Zhan immediately shouted: "Close the windows and open the internal air circulation."
"Shet, damn it, the thermal imaging camera doesn't do much."
Dust blocked the road and made it gray. Even with a thermal imaging camera, David couldn't see the road ahead clearly and could only see a blurry shadow.
What makes David even more confused is...
The road conditions have become so bad, but the car in front does not slow down, and its speed is even increasing.
"Damn it, why is the car in front going faster and faster?" David cursed angrily.
When the three police cars and a Hummer in front were driving, the dust raised was so thick that Long Zhan was also unable to see clearly anything on either side of the car.
I could only vaguely see a square shadow about ten meters ahead.
That's the butt of car No. 1!
Although this kind of deceptive road is very painful, and it feels wrong not being able to see the dragon war outside, Commander Heihu has no explanation, which shows that there is nothing abnormal at present.
"Don't worry about it. If he speeds up, you should speed up as well. Just keep your distance and keep up." Long Zhan said.
"OK!"
David nodded and began to focus on driving.
In this kind of road condition, my vision is basically blind, and I can only follow the shadow of the car in front of me.
Even though David has a special driving certificate and can directly become a racing driver, he does not dare to be careless and must concentrate on it.
Otherwise, if you drive at a speed of more than 80 kilometers per hour on such an extremely slippery gravel road, you may become a rolling hoist if you are not careful.
He survived the dangerous battlefield, but was ultimately defeated by a car accident.
It's such a shameful way to die.
The convoy raced along the hardened gravel road, and the speed never dropped below 80 kilometers per hour.
As time goes by, this lack of ability to independently control external information makes everyone in the Hummer fleet uncomfortable.
This is human crisis instinct, which will be triggered once we lose our perception of the outside world.
Black Fox, who had had time to close his eyes and meditate when he was on the asphalt road, has frowned since he entered the gravel road.
Constantly trying to observe the situation in front and to the left and right through the hazy vision.
The journey took about 20 minutes.
Led by the police car in front, the convoy passed a fork in the road, and Black Fox discovered that there were two police cars and several police officers waiting at the fork in the road.
I remembered that the command base had informed me before that the Mexican government was helping the convoy clear the road ahead, and it was normal for police to guard the intersection.
The black fox didn't pay much attention.
But what made Black Fox feel something was wrong was that in the back compartment of the Mexican armed police car in front of her, the special police officer who originally pointed the muzzle of his heavy machine gun directly in front of him turned his muzzle to the right side of the convoy.
It seemed as if he was signaling to his peers at the intersection, and also seemed to be observing the situation on the right.
But the convoy had been driving for nearly two hours, and the heavy machine gun SWAT officer had made no move before, but he turned the gun around at this time.
Don’t be too familiar with this picture of black fox, it is exactly the same as that of the Ethiopian police.
"Could it be..."
When Black Fox thought about that possibility, a chill ran from his spine to the top of his head.
Staring at the SWAT police who couldn't see clearly, he immediately used the radio to call the drone: "Feiniao, this is 01, is there anything unusual happening on the right side of the convoy?"
"Feiniao received it, the road is safe, there are no vehicles or movements on the left and right, wait, Shete..."
Before Feiniao finished speaking, his tone suddenly changed.
Black Fox knew something had happened, and his whole body was tense, and he asked anxiously: "Is there something wrong? What happened?"
"On the right, there is a camouflaged person on your right. He is carrying a long tube-shaped object on his shoulder. I am zooming in. Faq, it is a missile, a man-portable missile. Hurry, get out of the way."
The drone monitor was shocked by the accident, and his reply was so loud that it was almost a roar.
"Man-portable missile?"
When the black fox heard this sudden news, all the hairs on his body stood up.
But she couldn't see outside at all, and she didn't know from which angle the missile was coming. Even if she got the warning from the flying bird, she couldn't effectively avoid it.
There was only one barely feasible way, and that was to lead the Hummer convoy off the road from the left.
Just as Black Fox turned his head and looked away from the right window to the left to notify the driver of emergency evasion, his line of sight happened to sweep across the area directly ahead.
Through the front windshield, I saw the SWAT machine gunner in front of me, adjusting the direction of his gun again and aiming it at the Humvee directly behind them.
"Be careful, lower your head and lie down."
It was too late for Black Fox to say anything else and could only issue a short order.
Then he quickly fell to the left and got stuck in the Hummer's unique wide center control area.
