Chapter 834: Danger, danger, danger! (asking for monthly votes)

"Captain Lei, we have checked the scene thoroughly. According to the traces, at least four people should have escaped from the battlefield. I have arranged personnel and drones to track down the traces, and also asked the border guards to pay more attention!"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Captain Li!"

Lei Wanshan expressed his thanks.

Looking back, the captain of Team 341 asked:

"Captain Lei, there's Stinger right beside us, should we give chase and see what happens? In case they stole any important items or information..."

"Need not."

Lei Wanshan shook his head slightly, "Let the Wusi Military District handle this matter. The focus of our mission this time is to protect high-value targets."

"Yes!"

Next, they had to wait for the second reserve force to escort Director Zheng and the fragments to join them.

The reason why the Z-20 was not sent directly to pick up the helicopters was that the short flight window of ten minutes had passed, and the wind speed and rain had increased again, so the armed helicopters of the Army Aviation Regiment were now forced to temporarily stay in the valley.

Fortunately, the distance between the two sides was not far, and they quickly reunited.

Seeing that Zhang Yang was still alive, Zhao Jiaxing's eyes became red with excitement, and he hugged his comrade tightly, as if he was afraid that if he let go, the joy of regaining what he had lost would slip away.

"Captain Gu, I..."

Seeing Zhao Jiaxing's red eyes, Gu Ji knew that he was thanking him for risking his life to save Zhang Yang.

"Captain Zhao, there's no need to say more. I believe that if you were faced with this situation, your choice would be the same as mine."

"Thank you."

Zhao Jiaxing's lips trembled slightly, and finally he stopped bending and saluted Gu Ji and the other two.

On the other side, Lei Wanshan was confirming with Director Zheng that the fragments were safe.

As a result, the deposit box has just been taken over.

Suddenly, a low rumbling sound came from underground, as if a sleeping beast was roaring angrily.

Lei Wanshan's body stiffened instantly.

The movement of his hands stopped abruptly, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

Immediately afterwards, there was a violent vibration under my feet, as if a pair of invisible hands were shaking the earth.

"Oh no, it's an aftershock!!"

Gu Ji's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted, "Everyone, get away from the edge of the mountain immediately!"

Everyone's expression suddenly changed and they reacted quickly.

They looked around for a place to hide. However, in this empty mountain area, surrounded by slippery rocks and steep slopes washed by rain, there was almost no suitable shelter.

“Fuu——!”

Captain Li of the Special Airborne Regiment blew a sharp whistle and shouted with unquestionable majesty: "Quick! Stay close to the helicopter!!"

The voice just fell.

The amplitude of the tremor suddenly increased, cracks began to appear on the ground, and rocks of all sizes rolled down the mountain, hitting the ground with a dull sound.

The landslide carried away soil and trees, forming an unstoppable torrent that rushed down the mountain.

The air was filled with thick dust, making it almost impossible to breathe and completely obstructing vision.

The captured terrorists were frightened by the sudden earthquake and lost themselves in panic. Some of them tried to escape in the chaos, but were tripped by the shaking ground beneath their feet and fell with bruises on their faces.

The soldiers of the Air Force Regiment had no time to take care of many things. They had to avoid the falling rocks and prevent the terrorists from escaping.

A hint of madness flashed in the eyes of the bearded man with white turban. He quickly stood up with his hands behind his back, as if ready to give it a try.

"stop!"

Seeing this, a soldier rushed forward without hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, a huge fallen rock whizzed past his head and hit him heavily, and the splashing gravel scratched his cheek.

"Hurry up and pull them back!!"

"Everyone, hold your chest, squat down, and lean your back against the helicopter!!"

Gu Ji shouted loudly, but his voice seemed a little weak in the noisy environment.

But these air crew regiments are special operations forces after all, and the quality of their individual soldiers is extremely strong.

Soon, with their well-trained tacit understanding, they quickly gathered around the armed helicopter.

Immediately afterwards, more stones followed, like dense artillery shells, hitting the fuselage of the helicopter, making crackling sounds.

Gao Bo leaned against it tightly, his heart in his throat.

As time passed, the momentum of the landslide gradually weakened. After the last rock rolled down, the surroundings fell into a brief silence.

Zhou Yang raised his head cautiously and asked tentatively: "Is the earthquake over?"

"Quick, check the wounded!"

"Count the suspects!"

The shouts of the Air Service Regiment came one after another.

Gu Ji stood up and walked to the back of the Z-20. The side facing the snow-capped mountains had already been riddled with holes from being smashed by rocks.

Fortunately, we had experienced a landslide before, so although the ground shook violently during the second aftershock, the power of the landslide was not as strong as the previous one.

Otherwise, if a large mudslide came rushing down, these armed helicopters might not be able to stop it!

"Is everyone okay?"

"It's okay, Captain Lei!"

Lei Wanshan looked down at the metal deposit box in his hand, fortunately the fragments were not lost.

He was just about to ask Ye Xiaoshu to contact the command center again to request further instructions.

Unexpectedly, the news came from above first.

This aftershock was more powerful than the previous one, so the Urumqi Earthquake Administration was certainly able to detect it.

"As long as there is nothing wrong with the things..."

Chen Ke breathed a sigh of relief on the radio:

"There have been a number of aftershocks in Lingxi and the weather is bad. It will be difficult for the troops to assist you in your transfer in the short term.

So, Lei Wanshan, you guys take the reinforcements to the mission point first, confirm the base situation, and wait for the security forces to transfer!"

"Roger that!"

Lei Wanshan hung up the phone and explained the situation to the Air Crew.

Li Changshun agreed to cooperate without thinking, leaving a team to guard the armed helicopter and the militants, and the rest of them took tools and supplies and equipment and followed them to the mission point.

"This damn earthquake, if it weren't for it, this mission would have ended long ago!"

Gao Bo grinned and complained.

Wu Kang directly retorted: "If there hadn't been an earthquake, there wouldn't have been this mission at all!"

no way.

Aftershocks like this often occur dozens or even hundreds of times, with intervals ranging from a few minutes, a few days, or even a few months, making them impossible to predict and control.

Everyone had no choice but to pack up their equipment and return to the mission point, which was Base 722.

It was early morning and the wind was as cold as a knife.

The valley floor was surrounded by scenes distorted by the disaster. Huge gullies left by landslides were faintly visible in the darkness, and broken trees lay in all directions on the ground, as if telling of the severity of the aftershock.

The rain was getting heavier, hitting the team members' tactical helmets and bulletproof vests, making them bone-chilled.

The coldness continued to attack my body. If it weren't for the protection of the military anti-gas suit, I would have been soaked.

In the center of the team, Li Changshun held a map in his hand and carefully identified the route with the help of the faint light of a tactical flashlight. From time to time, reports from the scouts ahead could be heard from his tactical headset.

"Captain, the ground ahead has collapsed severely."

"Understood, everyone stay alert and keep moving forward."

After hearing the warning, Gu Ji and others hurriedly and carefully bypassed the landslide section. The soil under their feet was wet and slippery, and every step was full of danger. If they were not careful, they might fall into the crack.

And just then.

The Stinger beside him suddenly ran in front of him, circled around, and then headed straight up the slope on the right.

Ye Xiaoshu shouted quickly.

"Stinger! Stop running!"

"It must have discovered something..."

Gu Ji narrowed his eyes.

He has been training Stinger for a long time and knows how disciplined this little guy is. Especially when he is out on a mission, he never does meaningless things.

So he immediately reported to Lei Wanshan and Li Changshun, left the team and followed.

Didn't run far.

Gu Ji saw the stinger stopped in front of a crack.

He walked closer and took a look, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

It turned out to be a long black metal box, which looked almost the same as the equipment supply box that he had dropped from the Y-9 earlier.

"Captain Lei, Captain Li, we've made a discovery!"

In no time.

Everyone gathered around the box, staring at it in silence.

A special fighter from the Air Force and Ye Xiaoshu carefully checked around, and both of them shook their heads in the end:

"This doesn't look like something that was just put into service. Judging from the wear and corrosion on the exterior of the box, it must have been buried in the ground for at least seven or eight years."

"so long?"

Wu Kang asked subconsciously.

At first, everyone thought it was an equipment box left behind by Task Force 341.

But after Gu Ji communicated with Lei Wanshan, he ruled out this option and then suspected that it was extremists or supplies from other foreign special forces, but this was ultimately rejected.

"Who buried it here in advance?"

"This place is so close to the 722 base. Who is so bold? Or... are these actually military supplies?" Gao Bo turned his head and glanced at Zhao Jiaxing.

But he was also confused and shifted his gaze to Director Zheng's face.

Because this box does not have any special symbols, only a string of incomprehensible codes and a combination lock on the top.

"I am not sure as well."

"Since Director Zheng doesn't know either, let's report it to the headquarters for a decision!"

Since they were not sure what was inside the box, Li Changshun and Lei Wanshan did not dare to open it violently. It would be terrible if it contained biological weapons.

"QBD-75607..."

Gu Ji silently recited the engraved code on the metal box in his mind.

He always felt that this string of numbers was somewhat similar to the combination of the Joint Research Institute "CISD: 6501".

Add to that the seven or eight years of burial time, and it's easy for people to link the two together.

Could this box really be related to those mysterious research institutes?

But if this is true, why does Director Zheng claim that he “has no idea” about it, or is it... a more important secret?

"Okay, I understand."

Just when Gu Ji fell into deep thought.

Lei Wanshan and the other person have completed their reports respectively.

Chen Ke's attitude towards it was to still hand it over to the Us Military Region for handling, and the order Li Changshun received was to mark the exact location coordinates of the box.

Because this thing is too heavy.

They had no vehicles and were on a mission, so they couldn't take it with them.

We can only mark it first and then send a helicopter to take it away later.

After the episode, everyone continued on their journey.

The sleet was getting heavier and heavier, and the vision was becoming more and more blurred. Gu Ji glanced at the military satellite map in the upper right corner.

"Captain Lei, Captain Li, we should be close to our target point!"

"Very good……"

Everyone sighed, and their cold bodies seemed to be injected with new strength, and they ran in the muddy mountains, one step deep and one step shallow.

Finally, after nearly an hour of arduous trek.

Gu Ji returned to the vicinity of Base 722 again.

But before everyone had time to be happy.

"Woo~woo~"

Suddenly.

A strange sound quietly sounded in the team.

Li Changshun and the soldiers of the Air Service Regiment were still confused, but Gu Ji, Gao Bo, Director Zheng and others all had their expressions suddenly change.

"This sound..."

"It's a Geiger counter! Oh no! There's a radiation leak in the base!!"

"what?!"

Director Zheng said this.

All the soldiers were frightened and froze.

"Director Zheng, do you know the specific reason?"

"It must be the aftershock that destroyed the laboratory. There are metal tanks in there that are used to store debris and radioactive waste. Once the tanks are damaged, the radioactive substances inside will be released!"

"3.2 millisieverts per hour, this has exceeded the radiation value in the core area of ​​a large nuclear power plant! Quick, everyone put on gas masks and change into gas suits!"

Gu Ji took off the Geiger counter and saw the numbers soaring on it, and immediately gave a reminder.

Fortunately, the air crew regiments that came to reinforce had prepared equipment and supplies in advance.

Hearing this, Li Changshun immediately organized the soldiers to change their equipment.

"Director Zheng, the radiation is still rising! It has risen to 3.7 millisieverts!"

"No, it's raining so hard now. If the radioactive waste continues to spread with the rain, it may threaten nearby villages and towns. We must find a way to control it as soon as possible!"

"Ye Xiaoshu, report to the command center immediately!"

"Yes!"

Seeing Director Zheng’s eyes wide open, Lei Wanshan also realized the seriousness of the matter.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Ye Xiaoshu dialed the command center's radio, he heard a buzzing sound in his earphones. "No, this place has been interfered by electromagnetic radiation. I need to change places!"

"Go!"

"Captain Lei, since there is electromagnetic interference nearby, perhaps the drone can't be used. How about I take Gao Bo to the scene first to check the situation?"

"Two by two, take turns to explore!"

Gu Jiben was thinking of going to the front of the base to take a look.

But Lei Wanshan proposed another plan, which was to strictly limit the time each person could spend close to the base.

In fact, he was still afraid that the base was too dangerous now.

You know, they are now 722 meters away from the 100 Base Research Institute.

If we continue to get closer, the radiation energy we are exposed to will definitely increase further.

Military gas suits and masks have a service life. Lei Wanshan naturally did not want his team members to take risks before figuring out the situation.

Gu Ji nodded.

He took the lead with Gao Bo and was the first to run to the base.

"Gu Ji, do you think we can handle it this time...?"

The closer the two got, the louder the Geiger counters on their bodies began to scream.

It feels like a ghost is howling on you.

And radiation really is exactly like a ghost.

It can’t be seen or touched, but it can kill you invisibly! (End of this chapter)
