Chapter 640 - Fault Block
It 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.
