Tens of seconds later, the drone in the other direction was also destroyed by the giant insect. Even if everyone was mentally prepared, they could not help but feel a little angry.
Ye Han had a lot of drones and didn't care about the loss at all. He simply sent more than a dozen drones into the cave at once.
But when these drones flew over, the passage that was clear just now had disappeared, and was replaced by a thick earth wall.
At this time, everyone was dumbfounded. The colonel asked in shock: "When did it get blocked? Isn't it too fast?"
Ye Han was not surprised at all: "The faster it is dug, the faster it is blocked. Is it any wonder?"
"Then... uh, how can we continue to investigate this? Let people go and blast it?"
Ye Han shook his head: "It's useless. This section has exploded. What if the others behind it are blocked again? What if there's a landslide? I think it's better to find other entrances... Luo Qi, let me know, let's go to the other warehouses."
Search carefully and find all the mouse holes for me."
"Yes!" Luo Qi immediately obeyed,
I have the experience of digging the first warehouse. I dug corners of the other warehouses first, and soon found the "robbery holes" left by the insect swarm.
Under the unified command of Ye Han, all warehouses blasted the holes at the same time. After blasting the hole, drones were immediately released into the hole to record the structural direction of the hole.
However, the swarm of insects was already prepared. There were no insects in the cave and no iron barrels could be found. Moreover, all routes were blocked by mud. The drone only flew a short distance and could no longer find a passage, so it had no choice but to withdraw.
ground.
"It would be great if I could find an iron bucket." Luo Qi said disappointedly.
Ye Han curled his lips: "You should go, no matter how stupid the aliens are, they can't hide the yellow cakes under the warehouse."
The colonel couldn't help but said: "What should we do?"
"Look for another entrance." Ye Han said, "The entrances in the warehouse are all sealed, but there are still ones outside the warehouse!"
"Is it easy to find?" the colonel asked worriedly.
Ye Han twitched his lips: "How would you know if you don't look for it?"
The soldiers who received the order immediately took action and looked around for the entrance to the cave.
The tunnels dug by the bugs were not as secretive as Ranzhuang's. It didn't take long to find seven or eight entrances. The soldiers continued to lower the drones underground, but there was no change in the situation of the drones. Those who were unlucky enough to encounter the bugs suffered miserably.
Dismemberment, if you are lucky, you will encounter obstacles everywhere. No matter where you go, the passage will be blocked by the insect swarm in advance.
Just like that, after a while, all the holes that could be found in Marida City were dug out by the airborne divisions. Several small-scale battles took place, and hundreds of bugs were killed.
Ye Han originally wanted to connect the fragmented underground passages through drone exploration, but the final result turned out to be too fragmented, like a jigsaw puzzle that had been smashed together and could not be put together no matter what.
Calculated based on the detection area, the burrows found by drones accounted for only one-fifth of the total. This is only in urban areas, not including outside the city.
Ye Han had already made a plan. As soon as he found the location where the insect swarm stored the yellow cake, he would immediately organize a commando team to carry out a precise attack. They would first blow up the tunnel and then find a way to transport the yellow cake out.
But the aliens were smarter than he thought and didn't give him a chance to make a comeback.
The colonel looked gloomy: "Mr. Ye, what should we do?"
Ye Han thought for a while, pointed to the sky and said, "Are there any satellites up there?"
"What?" The colonel was a little confused.
"I asked, are there any satellites in the sky above Australia, military ones, that can remotely sense the location of the cave entrance?" Ye Han explained clearly in one breath.
The colonel suddenly said: "I will report to the fleet immediately!"
"Report it and ask the superiors if there is any way to determine the scope of the cave." Ye Han said.
The senior colonel was a bit out of his wits: "I don't understand what you mean."
Ye Han said: "The insect swarm has not been here for long. Even if they don't eat or drink all day long, they won't be able to dig many tunnels. The scale of the tunnels is not that big. If there is a method from above, we will use it to determine the tunnel as soon as possible."
Distribution range.”
"Oh, are you sure about the search area?"
"That's right." Ye Han said ambiguously.
What does it mean? The colonel wanted to ask clearly, but seeing that Ye Han didn't want to continue talking, he simply stopped asking and told the fleet exactly what Ye Han meant.
The fleet quickly replied that there was indeed a satellite belonging to Washington over Marida. After emergency consultations, Washington had agreed to remotely sense the surrounding Marida to find the location of the cave.
Another question also has an answer. The fleet has a batch of monitoring equipment, the same kind used by the Airborne Division on Ganymede. It can monitor the situation underground and indirectly determine the distribution range of underground caves.
After Ye Han obtained the satellite remote sensing data, he immediately ordered the troops to leave the city and continue to detect the underground situation.
The continuous detections have made the senior colonel impatient: "Mr. Ye, please tell me the truth. Is this useful?"
"If you find it, it's there. If you can't find it, it's not there. It's that simple." Ye Han said.
The colonel was suddenly stunned: "Are you sure?"
"Are you sure?" Ye Han shook his head, "It would be nice if it were that easy."
As expected, each unit reported the detection situation one after another. All the cave entrances were the same as in the city. The passages were blocked from the inside, and it was impossible to find where the yellow cake was hidden.
The colonel gave Ye Han a questioning look. Ye Han sighed helplessly and ordered on the radio: "Determine the scope of the cave." After saying that, he looked at the colonel and said, "I want to speak directly to Commander Zhong."
"Okay." The colonel agreed and immediately started contacting him. After a while, Ye Han received a communication from the Luzhou: "I am Zhong Yuantai."
"Hello, Commander Zhong." Ye Han greeted politely, "Do you understand the situation in Marida?"
"Understood, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"That's right. The missing yellow cakes will probably never be found. I think the most important thing now is not to continue looking for the yellow cakes, but to prevent these yellow cakes from falling into the hands of aliens."
Zhong Yuantai became a little interested: "Tell me what you think."
Ye Han said: "My idea is this. The missing yellow cake should still be in Marida and hidden underground in Marida. I suggest planting nuclear bombs around Marida to completely destroy Marida."
Zhong Yuantai took a breath: "Are you kidding me?"
"I'm not kidding. The consequences of things falling into the hands of aliens are more serious than destroying Malida. The lesser of two evils is just a choice."
Zhong Yuantai felt bad, but he had to admit that Ye Han's idea did make sense: "Not even me, even Beidu can't do this. Just wait, I'll report to Beidu right away."
After the communication ended, the colonel's eyes changed when he looked at Ye Han: "Are you crazy?"
Ye Han chuckled: "Do I look like him?"
The colonel's cheeks twitched: "Calm lunatics are the scariest ones!"
Ye Han immediately laughed out loud: "Thank you for the compliment."
