Chapter 942 The Troops Are Divided Into Two Groups

Ten million credits, normally, would be enough to make these mercenaries so excited that they can't sleep. But now, none of them showed even the slightest excitement about it - if the Ark was gone, the credits would only be It's just a meaningless number.

Even if Mukah Fortress can hold on for a while, after the news spreads, no one will use credits to trade, and the survivor society will probably enter the most primitive barter stage, just like those Exile settlements are the same.

Moreover, one of Levi's words hit the point - since this unknown enemy will attack the Ark, will it let go of other human strongholds?

"Do you have a detailed action plan?" Bianca was the first to react and asked Levi, "Also, I need equipment support, and I hope the base can open the equipment warehouse with the highest authority level to us. "

"Of course." Levi nodded, "I have something else for you."

After speaking, he took out several black metal cards and handed them to Bianca and others.

There are no characters or patterns on these metal cards, but the size of the cards is very familiar - most of the devices on Ark that can swipe cards use cards of this size, just like ID cards from the old era. Bank cards and bus cards are all the same size.

"What is this?" asked a mercenary next to Bianca carrying a large-caliber anti-material sniper rifle.

"Communication card." Admiral Maginot said solemnly, "After you enter the Ark, as long as you insert this card into any public communication terminal that is still available, you will be able to contact an absolutely trustworthy... The big shot, he will issue follow-up instructions to you, you just need to do what he says."

The card that Maginot gave them was used to contact the Undead Crew. Communication cards like this are available to the directors of every large base, but they will only be used in extremely critical situations.

And now, it is that extremely critical situation.

"Big shot? What kind of big shot is he?" Bianca looked at the "black card" in her hand and whispered, "A member of the United Parliamentary Group?"

"Well...a person of a higher level than a congressman." Admiral Maginot said.

At this point, there is actually no need for the Immortal Crew to hide anything. The Ark has fallen and mankind is on the verge of extinction. There is no point in bringing this kind of secret to the coffin.

"One level higher than the MPs? Are they the plutocrats who are manipulating the MPs behind their backs?" A bold relic hunter asked, "Your Excellency General, with all due respect...I...I don't think...those people can trusted."

"It's not those plutocrats. If human civilization was really controlled by those plutocrats, we would have perished long ago." Levi said in a shocked voice, "They are the real pilots of human civilization... If you can get in touch with them, you can even You can put your life in their hands.”

The relic hunter did not continue to speak, but there was a trace of resistance in his eyes... People who are accustomed to freedom, such as mercenaries and relic hunters, have no idea about obeying orders, especially those strangers who are above them. In fact, he was very resistant to the order. The relic hunter immediately made up his mind. If that "big man" asked him to carry out a death mission, he would immediately smash the communication terminal, break the black card, and disguise it as a communication The situation where communication was interrupted due to attacks... He felt that not only himself, but others should have similar thoughts.

Either die immediately, or linger in the wilderness for a while, most of these people would choose the latter.

"Remember, the highest priority goal is to find out what the layer of things surrounding the Ark is, as well as the monsters hatched in the tumor-like growth on the surface. After completing the first goal, immediately compile the intelligence into a report document, which will be sent by an unmanned person The aircraft will be brought back to Mukach Base. Then we will conduct reconnaissance operations inside the Ark. As for the specific action plan, there is no one." Levi said to the nineteen people, "We don't know anything about what happened over there in the Ark. You are the first advance team, and you must adapt to any situation."

When they heard the words "advance team", the mercenaries had no obvious reaction. On the contrary, several ruin hunters shuddered subconsciously - while exploring the undeveloped ruins, "advance team" The three words "team" are basically synonymous with "dead people".

The higher the level of the ruins, the more so, and the Ark in the photo is definitely no less dangerous than an S-level ruins.

These ruin hunters never thought that one day they would become "advance team members".

…

It only took half an hour to check the equipment. There was no high-tech new equipment in the equipment library of Mukah Fortress. As for the kind of trial-type large-scale killer that has not been mass-produced, there was no such thing. Some of them are "old guys" who have been in the army for many years... But Bikaan's request is not to get some top equipment from General Maginot - for them, those who have never been exposed to new equipment are not The equipment would most likely not be as convenient as the weapons she was used to. The reason why she made this request was actually for the same thing: active ammunition.

Although Ke Lan and the others have as much active ammunition as jelly beans to play with, for ordinary mercenaries and ruin hunters, this is a rare commodity... In fact, they rarely encounter enemies and erosion. The situation of fighting with containers of seeds or erosion seeds, coupled with the exaggeratedly high price of live ammunition on the black market, almost no mercenaries and ruin hunters always have such "special props".

In the No. 1 icehouse, a heavy refrigerator with four coded locks was opened. The logistics officer carefully pulled out two metal boxes from the compartment of the refrigerator and placed the folded boxes aside. on the table.

Bianca reached out and opened the box. The inside of the box was filled with shock-absorbing sponge. Four rectangular holes were dug out inside the sponge, and four small and exquisite boxes were stuffed in the holes.

Each of these boxes contains fifty rounds of standard-dose active ammunition. The caliber specifications are divided into two types. One is a universal ten-millimeter caliber full-power ammunition for the Type 01 rifle, and the other is a nine-millimeter caliber pistol ammunition. As for The active ammunition used by sniper rifles is not in stock at Mukach Base - the standard way of using active ammunition is to use heavy firepower to tear open the body of the Corrosion Seed, expose the "core", and then drive the active ammunition into the core. The active cells of the flesh-eating worms in the warhead are absorbed by the corrosive seeds to "poison" the corrosive seeds. This kind of battle usually occurs at a close range of less than 100 meters. Pistol bullets and rifle bullets are the most commonly used. Yes, as for active ammunition for snipers, they are basically custom-made and have very little inventory.

"This kind of ammunition will soon lose its effectiveness after thawing. You must carry it in a mobile refrigeration box. Do you understand?" the logistics officer said to the group of mercenaries. "Remember, they only target the Seed of Corrosion and the container of the Seed of Corrosion." It’s effective. If it were any other monster, the lethality of active ammunition would not be as good as live ammunition.”

"Got it." Bianca closed the metal box, put it into the mobile refrigeration box she brought, and asked one of her subordinates to carry the box behind her back.

"Boss, are you sure we will encounter that kind of monster in this operation? I look at the things in the photos... they don't seem to be the same type of creatures as the Corrosion Seeds. Can active ammunition... be used?" Another person asked a mercenary named Bianca's team.

"Whether it comes in handy or not, being prepared is better than having no countermeasures when you actually encounter something like that." Bianca said coldly.

"That's right." The mercenary who traded information with the white man before nodded, "As expected of Bianca, she thinks more thoughtfully than us... By the way, if there are any other special weapons like active ammunition, please tell me Let’s come a little bit, you have to know that our mission this time is to save all mankind, and it’s not the same thing to buckle the rope!”

"This is the only type of specialized weapon against a certain kind of creature." The logistics officer said with some displeasure, "If you want a powerful weapon, I can get you a few individual tactical nuclear bombs."

"Uh... forget it, that thing is okay. Forget it." Hearing that a single soldier used a tactical nuclear bomb, the mercenary waved his hands repeatedly - the most famous thing about that thing is that the "killing radius is further than the range", unless it is on an airplane If it is used on the ground, if it is launched on flat ground, even if it is immediately driven in the opposite direction and fled at full speed after the launch, it will still be affected by the nuclear explosion... let alone detonating inside the Ark.

After picking up the active ammunition, this "ragtag" team left the equipment warehouse, joined the two special teams at Mukach Base, and drove out of the base.

The personnel involved in the operation were divided into two detachments: the first detachment was composed of the Pikan team and the military's "Grey Fox" team. They drove directly along the boundary line of the western plains and approached the Ark from the west; the second team The team consists of everyone except Bianca's team, plus the military's "Spear" team. They will first go to the Shilin Air Force Base located fifty kilometers south of Mukach, where they will transfer to a high-speed transport aircraft. Take the aerial route and approach the Ark from the east side.

There is a reason why Levi divided the two teams into land and air routes - because now we don't know any characteristics of those enemies, and we can't confirm whether the other party is more sensitive to ground targets or air targets, so we have the two teams take different transportation Putting things on the ark is like putting eggs in different baskets.

If there were no vehicles that could drill into the ground, he would even think of detaching a third team to approach the Ark from the ground.

…

Fifty kilometers south of Mukakh, "Stone Forest" Air Force Base.

This base is located on the edge of a stone forest, with an open plain to the north and stone pillars as densely packed as a forest to the right. These jagged stone pillars have become like strange sculptures due to years of weathering - according to ruins experts According to research, this stone forest can also be regarded as a relic of the Alpha civilization. These stone pillars with an average height of more than fifty meters are all man-made and are probably used for some kind of sacrificial activities.

However, apart from these stone pillars, nothing else was found in this area. Even the totems and carvings that may have been on the surface of the stone pillars were completely weathered, so this stone forest was discovered within a few years. It was removed from the relics list, and the "Stone Forest Relics" was only retained as a landmark term.

The "Shilin" Air Force Base originally had several warships parked, but a few days ago these warships were transferred away by high-level officials, and there is no news yet. Now the huge base is empty except for a few maintenance factories. The huge row of semi-suspended airports were all empty, with only a few transport planes painted in gray-blue camouflage parked on the apron on one side.

Everyone in the second team jumped out of the car and ran quickly towards a transport plane parked in a conspicuous position - this was an improved version of the "Amran-class" transport plane. From here to the Ark, it only took two Half an hour can save about three-quarters of the time compared to the first unit taking the land route.

"Although flying is more comfortable, to be honest, I would rather take the land route." The mercenary who exchanged wine for information said to his companions, "If you arrive at the mission location half a day late, you might be able to get your lunch half a day later. You Say yes?"

"Bah, don't say such unlucky words." His companion spat, then glanced at the fellow "Spear" soldiers from the corner of his eye, and lowered his voice and said, "If the situation is not right, you have to move Got my brain."

"Use your brain" has many meanings, and the last tactic of the Thirty-Six Strategies is one of the most commonly used.

Just when the two of them boarded the transport plane, they found that there was a person who was not in their team sitting in the cabin of the transport plane. This person was wrapped tightly, with a large scarf covering his face tightly. It was wrapped up, and a pair of huge sunglasses covered the upper half of his face... But for some reason, the two mercenaries always felt that this man looked like they had seen him somewhere.

"You are..." The two people's eyes suddenly fell on a trace of white hair scattered under the man's helmet, and they said in shock, "Are you the information dealer?! Why are you here?"

"Of course I'm here to take part in the mission." The other party said with a smile,

"Mission? This... this is top secret. You were not selected. How could you..." The mercenary who invited him to drink was about to turn around and ask his fellow soldiers. The next second, he saw the intelligence The trafficker took out a "black card" from his pocket, a black card exactly like the one issued to them by Admiral Maginot.

"You should believe it now, right?" The intelligence dealer shook the black card and stuffed it back into his pocket. "If I didn't have permission, the crew wouldn't have let me up, right?"

"Uh... did you add it in later? Aren't you afraid of death for such a dangerous mission?"

"You are not afraid, what should I be afraid of?"
