"There is no problem with the beacon light, heading system, compass, and horizon!"
"Turn on the route recorder, prepare to record the entire journey, call the ground command center, and prepare for takeoff."
The two pilots of the Little Bird Helicopter were busy inside the aircraft, and then called the ground command center, also known as the temporary tower, to request takeoff.
"Woodpecker 1, you are ready to take off, heading 029. After taking off, please keep at least 50 meters above the ground. After leaving the camp area, you can maintain a free altitude. Over." The control center immediately replied.
The pilot of the helicopter gave a thumbs up to Harold and others who were making final preparations outside the cabin, indicating that it was ready to take off.
Harold nodded, patted Tian Yehan beside him and said, "Get on the plane!"
Tian Yehan nodded, leaned over and walked towards the helicopter, then climbed into the cabin and sat down, leaning next to the m60e3 light machine gun, and pulled Harold in.
After Harold sat down, because the back cabin was too crowded, the two could only sit very close together. Then Mark and Red could only sit on the brackets on both sides of the helicopter. Under the brackets, except for two 30
In addition to the 70-caliber machine guns, there are also two 70-caliber rocket launchers. This kind of firepower, coupled with the support of drones, can fully cope with any situation without powerful surface-to-air weapons.
The Little Bird armed helicopter codenamed Woodpecker 1 then took off and headed towards the free port. At normal speed, they could reach the edge of the free port in about half an hour. According to Tian Yehan's plan, the helicopter would hover at the original location of the free port.
On top of the tallest building that has not completely collapsed, he, Mark, and Red will then rappel down, while Harold and the pilot will fly the helicopter to a safe area across the river and wait for the signal. Once they complete
Task. Come and take over immediately.
"If you encounter that kind of robot zombie and are besieged, I will use a helicopter to open a gap for you. After you break out, you will immediately rush to the backup connection point. If the situation is normal, I will still rappel you.
I will take you back to the ground, do you understand?" During the flight, Harold said to Tian Yehan and others
Explain the situation, "Also, the chemical protective suit you are wearing is double-layered and double-insurance. After the outer layer is scratched, don't panic. There is another layer inside. This is the new research and development of the headquarters this year.
Yes, although it is still in the experimental stage, the effect is good. As long as you don’t take it off, there shouldn’t be any problems.”
Tian Yehan nodded: "The ammunition we carry is limited, but almost all of it is armor-piercing bullets. The headquarters has said that the weakness of these zombies is in the heart, not the head. Have you confirmed this many times?
"
Harold nodded and looked at Mark, who said: "Yes. We have experimented. Standard head and eye shots cannot effectively curb the movement of these monsters. Only penetrating their hearts is effective. Because we are worried about the
The disease is contagious, so we dare not capture any* back to the headquarters."
At this time, Reid interjected: "I have never understood why the headquarters does not send some experts who specialize in dealing with these things. Not everything can be handled by soldiers!"
Harold waved: "Stop complaining, stay vigilant, we will reach the landing area soon, I wish you all the best!"
Mark gave a thumbs up, Reid and Tian Yehan nodded, but at this time the four of them had their own thoughts. All Harold could think about was how to kill him in a small environment like the back cabin after completing the mission.
Tian Yehan, as long as he is killed, everything will be easy to handle. In addition to knowing that they must execute the order, Mark and Reid are most worried about the risk factor of the upcoming mission.
The two of them knew very well that there was a narrow escape from death in this mission, and they would be killed if they were not careful. Not to mention the attack by the zombies, the most important thing was how the infectious disease was spread. This was really weird.
Well, this thing called an infectious disease by the high command can actually turn living people into machines!
"If something happens to me, General, my wife and children..." Mark said something like this at this time, and Harold nodded and patted him on the shoulder to reassure him.
As the helicopter flew to its destination, the three drones also evacuated from the central area of the Free Port and were dispersed at three locations outside the Free Port to monitor the surrounding areas.
Tang Shuxing and Na Jincheng, who were lurking in the ruins, breathed a sigh of relief. After waiting for Gu Yan's signal to be sent, they immediately ran towards the hotel where the first explosion occurred, the hotel where Howard died.
When the two of them rushed there, they found that several holes had been blown out of the hotel and it almost collapsed. The surrounding things were burned out of shape. It seemed that it was almost impossible to find useful clues here.
things.
Na Jincheng looked at the truck next to him that was blown to pieces and had several oil barrels scattered around: "It seems that the explosion is also related to this truck. When it exploded, it seemed that the truck was fully loaded with oil.
Who can be so generous and get so much oil? Now this car of gasoline can almost allow an ordinary person to live like an emperor."
Tang Shuxing got into the ruins and looked around for a while, then walked upwards along the ruins. When he climbed to a certain position, Tang Shuxing stopped, looked at the humanoid mark on the side of the ruins, and called Jincheng
Come in.
"Look at this." Tang Shuxing pointed to the human-shaped mark on the ground. The inside of the mark was intact, but the surrounding area was burned black.
Na Jincheng looked at it for a while and said: "It seems that a person died here. The place where he lay was not burned, and then his body was taken away."
Tang Shuxing shook his head: "It's not that simple. This person didn't die here. If he died in this place, he would definitely be burned. The ground is also pitch black, and it is impossible for human body marks to appear. Therefore, it should be before the explosion.
A corpse has changed or been burned. It was lifted to this position by the air wave at the moment of the explosion. Because the corpse has been burned to coke, it is impossible to burn it again, so the corpse blocks other flames.
, causing a humanoid mark to appear on the ground."
Na Jincheng squatted down, touched it with his hands, and smelled the smell of engine oil. He thought for a while and said, "You want to say, maybe this body is directly related to the initial explosion? Maybe it was the source of this incident.
"
"Yes." Tang Shuxing nodded, "The body is missing. There are two possibilities. One is that it was taken away by the Resistance Army's subsequent search force, but this is unlikely. You must know that we found a Resistance Army member before.
The body of an elite soldier, and he did not leave alive with such important information, which shows that it is possible that the troops sent by the resistance army have been wiped out, so this possibility is very slim."
Na Jincheng nodded: "The second possibility is that there are still people alive in this area, maybe people who are immune to this kind of thing?"
Tang Shuxing looked around and pointed to the footprints next to him: "Look at this footprint. There is only one person. The footprint is not big. It looks like a woman. It is obvious that he came here after the burning. This person should have taken him away.
, if this person is immune and we are also immune, it means that the person who took the corpse away is most likely a corpse transformer like us."
"Trouble, there is another corpse transformer, and he is studying this problem. Is it an enemy or a friend? Maybe someone from Shangdu?" Jincheng was very worried, "I think we should look for water first, what do you think?
?”
"Well, that's all we can do. Let's go to the convergence mouth to find the water source first. After testing that there is no problem, we can then try to find other clues. If we can't find any, we have to give up." Tang Shuxing looked at the dark sky.
Tian Tian said, "It's already this time. The later it gets, the more dangerous it is. We can't delay any longer. After finding the water source, regardless of whether there are any other clues, leave immediately and head towards the hinterland of the desert."
Na Jincheng nodded: "I agree, we can't take risks here. After all, this place is not our primary goal."
With that said, Tang Shuxing and Na Jincheng turned around and walked towards the convergence of the two rivers outside the free port. That place was also where Howard and Qi Jiamei saw the armored ship half a month ago. At this time, the armored ship
The armored ship was also lurking in the deepest section of the river in Hanoi. Because the resistance forces had no idea that there would be such a submersible ship, they did not check the river in detail and were completely unaware of the existence of the armored ship.
At the same time that Tang Shuxing and Na Jincheng left, the Little Bird helicopter also entered the airspace of the Free Port. Gu Yan, who was about to change positions and go to the side to meet and cover Tang Shuxing and Na Jincheng, discovered this situation.
He immediately lurked in the jungle again, and used night vision binoculars to watch the people slowly descending from the top of the tallest building, and the rope was also lowered at the same time...
"A heavily armed Bird helicopter is hovering over the tallest building in Freeport. Now three people are descending on the rope. They are wearing black protective clothing. It seems to be used by night assault troops. They all carry various weapons. Look.
Looks like something from the Resistance Army
The investigation team may be here to search for lost data." Gu Yan told Tang Shuxing and Na Jincheng through the intercom while watching, "After they descended, they went directly in the direction where you are.
It seems that they are also heading towards the location of the first explosion."
Tang Shuxing listened to Gu Yan's words and said to Na Jincheng: "Their arrival has basically confirmed my previous speculation. It is obvious that they did not find the body. In other words, they sent
The whole army was wiped out and they got almost nothing useful, so they had to do it again."
When Jincheng raised his head, he could clearly see Tian Yehan and others descending from the rope, as well as the helicopter that took off and flew towards the other side of the river. The helicopter's navigation lights were very conspicuous in the night sky.
Na Jincheng asked: "What should we do now? Do we want to go back or not?"
"If we don't go back, we will operate in secret. They probably don't know we are here. The first priority is to find the water source, and then after they leave, let Lao Bai and the others drive to pick us up." After Tang Shuxing finished speaking, he turned around and headed towards the mouth of the river.
