Chapter 153: The Crisis of the Search and Rescue Team (Tenth Update in April)
Western Xinjiang. Lop Nur.
It has been three days and nights since Wang Bao and his comrades entered this strange cave. There is nothing here except the rushing underground river and the monsters that appear in the river from time to time.
After Wang Bao graduated from high school, he directly joined the army under the arrangement of his family and was assigned to serve in a field unit of the Xijiang Military Region. Xu Dongsheng and Hu Dawei also went there at the same time. However, Xu Dongsheng was transferred to the Southwest Military Region just after arriving in the Xijiang Military Region. So now there are only two people in Dijiang District, Wang Bao and Hu Dawei.
Because of their strong strength, Wang Bao and Hu Dawei were transferred to the Huya Special Forces of the Military Region to receive special operations training after a short period of recruit training. Not long ago, Wang Bao's cultivation level directly reached the peak of Anjin, and he successfully won the championship of the military region's special forces skills competition. Hu Dawei ranked second. The two were immediately listed as key special cadres to be trained by the military region chief.
Four days ago, Wang Bao received a call from the regiment leader, saying that there was a secret operation that required him to lead the team, and he was asked to rush to the regiment headquarters immediately to attend the meeting. After arriving at the regiment headquarters, Wang Bao found out that several travel companions who entered Lop Nur for a trip were missing. After calling the police, the local police dispatched airplanes, police officers, and police dogs. They spent a lot of manpower and material resources to conduct a blanket search, but found nothing.
Not long ago, an expedition team entered Lop Nur for a scientific expedition and encountered a storm. The expedition team got lost in the wind and sand. Three days ago, the local public security bureau received a call. After investigation, it was found that the call was made by the captain of the scientific expedition team. Yes, his voice was trembling and his mood was very unstable. The policewoman who answered the phone recalled that the captain frequently talked about bones and corpses. Then the call was cut off and the scientific expedition team disappeared.
This scientific expedition team was sent by the Xijiang Branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and was led by a highly qualified professor. Therefore, the military region accepted the request of the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government and immediately dispatched an elite search and rescue team to enter Lop Nur and along the scientific expedition The team conducts search and rescue on a route planned in advance.
In view of the complex terrain and harsh climate of Lop Nur, the military region leaders assigned the task to their special brigade. The brigade headquarters handed over the task to the Tiger Regiment, which has the strongest combat effectiveness. After discussion with the regiment leaders, it was decided that Wang Bao would lead the Death Squadron of the Tiger Tooth Special Operations Brigade. 32 soldiers entered Lop Nur to perform this mission.
After accepting the mission, Wang Bao led the team to set off. The initial search went smoothly. Soon they found the place where the scientific expedition team camped before the accident, and also found a simple map buried by wind and sand. After analysis, Wang Bao and others judged that the destination of the scientific expedition team should be a valley, so they planned to go to that valley to see if any survivors had arrived if they could not find the last place where the scientific expedition team disappeared. There.
After another two days of searching, little progress was made because the valuable clues were buried by the wind and sand. But not all was lost. They found the body of a scientific expedition member thirty-five kilometers southeast of the place where the scientific expedition team last set up camp.
The body is relatively well preserved and there are no serious injuries on the surface. It is initially estimated that he died of cold and thirst. Although the body itself does not have many clues, except for the uniform of the scientific expedition team that can explain his identity, there are no other clues. However, this corpse gave Wang Bao and others a lot of hints. First of all, the corpse was found in the southeast of the camp, indicating that they should have encountered a northwest wind at that time. In addition, they should not have noticed it in advance.
Secondly, the scientific expedition team must have encountered a lot of material troubles, and water and food must be in short supply. Based on these tips, Wang Bao proposed to search places with water sources first. Sure enough, some other clues were discovered soon after, and the body of a scientific expedition team member was also found. This body was better preserved. What pleased Wang Bao and others the most was that the body was buried in the dry path and beside the bed after simple processing, with a rag wrapped around its head. Clothes and a special pattern of stones were placed on the grave as a mark.
Sure enough, following these clues, Wang Bao and others finally discovered a huge cave more than 30 kilometers away from the dry river bed. At the same time, traces from the scene showed that the scientific expedition team entered the cave and then lost it. Traces.
After careful consideration, Wang Bao first made a brief report to the military region on the situation and asked the military region chief whether to enter the cave to continue searching.
The leaders of the military region considered the safety of the special forces members and also considered that there were no cave terrain experts among the special forces, so they ordered them to stand by and wait for support from the military region.
One day later, two cave terrain experts and a large amount of equipment supported by the military region arrived here. Wang Bao immediately led people into Shandong to continue the search.
Soon after entering the cave, they discovered something strange about the cave. This seemed to beThis underground maze is full of forks. There are no wild beasts in the cave, not even a mouse or bat. Only occasionally, some dead bones of humans and animals are found in some caves.
Although there were cave terrain experts sent by the military region to lead the way, Wang Bao and others were still lost. The most terrifying thing was that they could not even find the way back, and the satellite phone also failed. Three days later, when they had only food and water left After less than two days of climbing, they finally came to an underground cave with a wide terrain. It was about 150 meters high from the ground to the top of the cave, and about a kilometer wide. It was pitch black and really incredible. Know how such a large cave was formed.
There is an underground river more than 200 meters wide in the cave, and the water of the river is rushing and rushing. What makes Wang Bao and others find it incredible is that the water coming out of this underground river is actually black, like ink.
The cave is very long. After walking for more than ten kilometers along the river, it still has not reached the end. Since the fresh water is about to be exhausted, the topography expert suggested a simple test on the water in the river to see if it is drinkable, so Wang Bao A special operations team member was sent to the underground river to fetch water, and two soldiers were also sent to protect him.
However, something horrifying to Wang Bao and others happened at this moment. When the soldier bent down to get water, a huge monster suddenly jumped out of the river, swallowed the soldier in one gulp, and then He quickly disappeared into the dark river.
"It happened so suddenly that the two accompanying soldiers didn't even have time to fire. The soldier was swallowed by the monster.
After receiving the report from the special forces team members, Wang Bao was furious and asserted his strength. After ordering the special forces team members to prepare for battle, Wang Bao personally went to the underground river to act as a bait to seduce monsters.
The monster's intelligence didn't seem to be very high, and it quickly took the bait. This time, Wang Bao and others saw clearly that it turned out to be a giant snake with a weird fish head. It didn't know how long its body was, but its head was quite big. The size of a small car. What worries Wang Bao most is that the monster's defense is extremely terrifying. Hitting the monster with his peak dark power can only cause the monster to scream in pain, but cannot pose a fatal threat to the monster. And the warriors The Bayi Bar in the hand can only produce a pale white spot when hit on the monster. Only heavy sniper rifles and rocket launchers can injure this monster.
Since their main mission this time was search and rescue, not combat, the special operations team only brought two heavy snipers. The others were ordinary sniper rifles. There was only one rocket launcher and only five rockets. With the keen sense of an expert at the top of An Jin, Wang Bao realized that there was far more than one such giant beast in this underground river. There were only two of them in this dozens of meters long river. How many monsters could there be in the entire underground river? There are more than a dozen of these monsters.
And the most terrifying thing is that if these monsters are really snake-like mutant monsters, then their range of activities will definitely not be limited to the river. In the past, they didn't go ashore because there was nothing worthy of their attention. Now that there are so many people on the shore, these guys may not take the initiative to go ashore to attack people for food, and then they will be in big trouble.
Satellite phones still work sometimes. They still have some contact with the military region these days, but they can only transmit some simple information. The call usually does not last more than 20 seconds before automatically disconnecting.
Wang Bao¡¯s guess was accurate. Not long ago, they finally encountered a monster coming ashore and attacking them. Fortunately, they were well prepared. They used heavy snipers and rocket launchers to not only severely injure a monster, but also kill a small monster.
When they were shocked by the huge body and ugly appearance of the monster in front of them, they were even more worried about their own way out. The way forward was unclear, the way back could not be found, and there was such a powerful and evil monster blocking the way. If this continues, not only will they not be able to complete their mission, their search and rescue team may also risk their lives here.
Fortunately, they are all loyal guards of China and the real elites of the Western Xinjiang Military Region. They are used to facing life and death. Therefore, although the situation was critical and the future was uncertain, everyone was calm. Except for the two experts, the mood of the entire army was relatively stable. Especially with Wang Bao, the captain who can fight monsters face to face, the soldiers are not afraid yet.
The number of monster attacks today is more frequent than yesterday, and sometimes three or four monsters will come ashore to join the attack. The rockets have been exhausted, and the heavy sniper still has a lot of bullets, but they can't last long. Time has passed. The most important thing is that four special forces members were injured in today's battle, and two special forces members became the monster's meal.
At the critical moment, Wang Bao thought of Mu Chenglin and the mysterious boss who taught him his skills. Maybe Mu Chenglin was really a playboy in the past, and everything about him was very clear in the eyes of Wang Bao and the others, but since the car accident half a year agoAfterwards, Wang Bao felt that his boss had changed, becoming more confident and deeper, and at the same time becoming stronger and more capable.
Wang Bao didn¡¯t feel anything when he was practicing with Mu Chenglin. He just felt that he was more powerful than before, that¡¯s all. After entering the army, after taking the Strengthening Pill and the Wall-Breaking Pill, as his realm continued to break through, Wang Bao finally realized what it means to be powerful, and at the same time, he also enjoyed the eyes of admiration for the first time. Only then did he Understand what Mu Chenglin taught them and what they learned from Mu Chenglin.
Faced with life and death, Wang Bao's first thought was not his grandfather who was the commander of the military region or his father who was the main division commander of the field army, but Mu Chenglin, his childhood playmate who taught him all his skills. He believed that Mu Chenglin Lin definitely has the strength to rescue them. If even Mu Chenglin can't do it, everything else will be in vain.
