"Holy shit! This damn place is simply not for humans!"
Mist sat on a stone, whipped out his dagger and stabbed a black emperor scorpion. This thing was 0 cm long. At this time, it was still baring its teeth and claws on the tip of the knife, making a death struggle.
Qin Fei took a night vision telescope and looked into the distance, then tore off the mask on the GPS display on his wrist - this could avoid damaging the screen.
It is now past three o'clock in the morning. They have passed through Bosaso (a part of the coast between the northern seaport of Somalia and the Horn of Africa) and are preparing to pass through an area marked on the map as "Guban Bush".
.
Somalia is not a mountainous country. Large areas of the land are covered with shrubs and yellow sand.
This is actually not a good thing for infiltrators, because once you reveal your whereabouts, you won't be able to find a cover to rely on and hold on to when the enemy is chasing you.
This is the case in many countries in Africa.
Some time ago, there was a lot of news. The green hat troops of the United States were attacked by militants in the desert of an African country. In the end, four special forces were killed.
Qin Fei actually has quite some experience. In the current situation, once he and Mist are trapped in a tight siege, the possibility of survival without transportation is almost zero.
Don't tell me how awesome you are as a special force. In such open desert and Gobi areas, there are always more people, more guns, and stronger firepower. Even top special forces like Qin Fei and Mister
, if you encounter a large group of militants, you will also be defeated and die.
"Oh! The famous Delta Force soldier has such poor physical strength?" Qin Fei couldn't help but tease Mist.
From the time they landed in the air, the two of them have been walking in the desert for a full two hours.
Qin Fei could tell from the evenness of his breathing that Mist's physical strength was lower than his own.
"This kind of ghost place, the sand is soft when you step on it, which consumes the most energy!" Mist said: "Didn't your instructor tell you when you were in the special forces school?"
"I'm talking about your physical strength, not whether I know this common sense." Qin Fei suddenly remembered Mist's performance on the plane before, and couldn't help joking: "If the blond sergeant major agrees to come with you now,
It’s a ‘friendly match’, do you agree or not?”
"Of course I agree!" Mist responded immediately without thinking, "How can you refuse the lady's kindness?! You are sick, aren't you?!"
"The way you are now, it doesn't look like you still have the energy to do that." Qin Fei said.
"Do you think I use these two legs to play a 'friendly match'?" Mist rolled his eyes, "Besides, a strong waist is enough."
"Since your physical strength is fine, let's hurry up and hurry up!" Qin Fei was too lazy to talk to this old driver. Chatting with this guy would easily lead him into a ditch. "You can't give it to your Delta Force."
It’s a shame for people. If you go back and tell people about this in the future, saying that you can’t even compare to an Army of Country Z, that would be a shame.”
"We are professional soldiers, not to mention you are still young. I am a little older, and time is not forgiving. Wait until you are over thirty before you tell me that you have good physical strength." Mist raised the tip of the knife.
Shaking off the emperor scorpion, he stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go, we're not far from the destination. We have to get into the observation position before dawn. This ghost place is really evil. Why didn't those bastards make the airdrop?
Some."
"Perhaps they are worried that there are radars and other things over there in the laboratory. This is not a place where civil aviation routes pass. They will be alert if there are planes, so they can only cast farther away." Qin Fei said.
Darkness still shrouds everything around it.
Qin Fei walked all the way, keeping in touch with Ti Yue.
The signal was okay at first, but as we continued deeper into the desert hinterland, the signal became a little weak.
Qin Fei knew that this was related to the location of the satellite. To strengthen the signal, a satellite antenna must be used. After arriving at the observation position, the first thing to do was to set up the receiving antenna like a small pot.
Now, the two of them can each carry up to 60 kilograms, which is equivalent to the body weight of an ordinary person. This is not an easy task in the desert.
This time Mister chose a MK11MOD0 sniper rifle. After all, during a long-distance march, it is not easy to find a sniper rifle as powerful as the MK11MOD0, relatively light in weight and with an automatic loading function.
Those with higher accuracy are too heavy, and those with lower weight are pitifully weak in power. Especially those sniper rifles that use 5.56MM caliber NATO bullets. When hitting people, the target often disappears from sight after being hit by the bullet.
Embarrassing thing.
Qin Fei chose a relatively light-weight SCAR-L assault rifle. Compared with the H-type, its weight is slightly lower. Originally, the M4A1 carbine was a good choice in terms of weight, but Qin Fei was not interested in this gun.
There were doubts about its reliability under the conditions, so it was abandoned.
In addition, the two of them did not have much requirements for weapons. Since it was a reconnaissance mission, the weight was taken up by other supplies - including radio communication devices, optical devices, food, water, especially clean water.
.
In desert areas, no water means no combat effectiveness.
Now, the two of them no longer care about leaving long footprints behind them. In the special operations force, it was originally very important to cover up their traces, but now no one has the energy to deal with this.
If there were patrols near the nuclear project base, Qin Fei could only pray that the wind would fade those footprints, or that the place would not be so inaccessible that only the two of them walked through it.
The two of them relied on GPS and started walking on the barren land on the back of Somalia. On a relatively flat area, they turned a ninety-degree turn because there was a gravel beach here. Maybe it was a sea 10,000 years ago.
The exposed stones on the ground can effectively cover the two people's footprints, so they chose to do this, walking on the stones without leaving any footprints.
After walking on stones for a full kilometer, the two of them were already exhausted. The effect had been achieved. They found a bush and carefully checked whether there was a poisonous snake hiding. In the desert, if you see a bush, you are lucky.
When you find the shade of a tree or a water source, you must also be aware of one rule - snakes also like shade. Don't get in there to rest without looking at it. It may be the territory of a venomous snake.
After the inspection, the two of them sat by the bushes and ate some energy bars and water to replenish their physical strength. The reason why they ate energy bars was because they provided enough calories without producing too much energy.
Excretion, you know, pooping also takes up time!
Fifteen minutes later, the two men once again picked up their heavy luggage and started heading towards the mysterious coordinates.
They planned to go to that coordinate before dawn the next day. According to the map, it was a valley without vegetation. Qin Fei believed that a suitable observation position could be found among the piles of rocks on the nearby hillside. The messy stones would
Provide adequate protection for yourself and Mist.
This night, the two of them walked in silence most of the time. Except for the occasional chat during breaks, they spent most of the walking time communicating in sign language or directly using throat-shock earphones to whisper.
Because in infiltration operations at night, chatting is also a very bad habit. You don't know if a person will suddenly pop up around you. He will hear your voice and cause unnecessary trouble.
An hour before the first ray of sunlight rose in the desert of northern Somalia, Qin Fei and Mist finally arrived at their destination.
The two of them didn't even have time to rest. They tiptoed and climbed up to the high point. Then they chose a pile of rocks that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. After observing the surrounding terrain, they began to prepare for the reconnaissance mission.
