Several people were stunned, and Xiao Yuan was the first to speak: "Yes, why didn't I think of it? Captain, this matter is definitely not simple. First, we arrested the scientific expedition team, and then when something happened in the middle, we sent a second batch of bugs, dogs.
The Japanese are targeting the scientific expedition team!"
"That's right!" Ouyang Ping immediately agreed, "This matter is certainly not simple, but how can aliens target the scientific expedition team? This is not a coincidence."
"Yeah, whoever says this is a coincidence, I'm the first one not to believe it!" Luo Qi also stood up to cheer. They all had the same tone and had a consistent external attitude.
Ye Han laughed: "No one said it was a coincidence, but why are aliens targeting the scientific expedition team?"
Everyone was silent now. After a while, Luo Qi said uncertainly: "Did the scientific expedition team attract the attention of aliens?"
Xiao Yuan said: "Are you kidding? This is the Sea of Death. It would be great if aliens could send giant insects in... Uh, you mean, this place is already controlled by aliens?"
"That's not to say, aliens probably don't have that ability." Luo Qi shook his head, "But the aliens must have sent a lot of bugs here, and maybe they even built a base in the desert."
"No way, the temperature difference here is so big, can the insects adapt?" Ouyang Ping said.
Luo Qi said: "I just think it's possible."
Ye Han said: "Maybe there must be, it depends on whether we can find evidence. This matter is not our business, let's discuss the scientific expedition team first!"
Xiao Yuan said: "Captain, are you afraid that after we go out, we will encounter bugs sent by aliens again?"
Ye Han nodded: "This place is in the hinterland of the Sea of Death. According to the orders from our superiors, we must send the scientific expedition team to Qingtang. It is more than a thousand kilometers away and there are so many tow bottles. How can it be so easy to travel?"
Luo Qi asked curiously: "Can't we ask the higher-ups to send a plane over?"
Xiao Yuan glanced at Ye Han, shook his head and said, "Definitely not possible. The light bugs appear and disappear, fighting guerrillas with the air force all day long. It's too dangerous."
Luo Qi immediately thought of another plan: "Can Qingtang send a ground force over to help us?"
Xiao Yuan said hesitantly: "It should be okay, right?"
Ye Han said: "If you can avoid causing trouble to Qingtang, don't cause trouble to other people. They are accepting migrant people there, and they certainly don't have enough troops."
"Then you have to rely on yourself." Xiao Yuan said, "I think it's okay. This is the northwest after all. Even if the aliens reach out, there shouldn't be many bugs sent over. We have the Ningwu Pass above us.
Take cover and equip yourself with more heavy weapons later, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”
Ye Han said: "If the problem is big, there's nothing we can do about it. What we eat is the food that licks the blood with the blade. It's not a big deal if we encounter a swarm of insects. How many bugs have we killed?"
"It's just that I'm afraid it's a ball!" Luo Qi said, tightening the rifle in his arms.
Xiao Yuan said: "Then when shall we leave?"
Ye Han made a decision immediately: "It's not too late, let's get ready."
"Yes!" The three people said in unison and immediately dispersed to gather their respective team members.
Ye Han switched the communication channel: "Call the bridge, please answer when you receive it!"
"Received on the bridge, please speak!" The voice in the communication was not very real, and the rustling was very obvious.
Ye Han looked up at the top of the pit, then walked a few steps to the blasted hole: "Bridge, how is it outside? Is there anything new?"
"There is no new situation at the moment." The voice was much clearer this time.
Ye Han said: "I need transportation, the sooner the better."
"Understood, make arrangements immediately, give me five minutes!" Lin Yi said.
The Ningwuguan was absolutely professional and had all kinds of equipment needed for airborne operations. A few minutes later, nine light paratrooper vehicles fell from the sky and landed in the desert near the sinkhole.
These paratrooper vehicles are made in Beiyuezhou, are driven by pure electric vehicles, and have a range of more than 700 kilometers. Each vehicle can seat four fully armed team members, and five can be seated in a squeeze.
The soldiers who climbed out of the sinkhole immediately drove back, five people in one car, and quickly drove into the southeast direction. Behind each car, there was rising dust.
It was already afternoon, the hottest time of the day. The temperature in the desert rose sharply. The surface temperature exceeded 60 degrees. No matter which direction you looked, there were layers of distorted heat waves.
The weather is hot, and the feeling of being covered in armor is like a steamer. It feels sour and refreshing to be covered in sweat.
The air conditioner in the armor has a good cooling effect, but the cooling effect is only marginal, and it consumes a lot of electricity. In order to save limited power, the soldiers only dare to turn the air conditioner to the lowest setting... It is not enough if it is not turned on, otherwise it will not be used for a while, inside the armor
People will faint from the heat, no matter how good their physique is, it will be of no use.
"There was a sandstorm when we came down, why can't we find even a single cloud now?" Xiao Yuan complained dissatisfied.
"Be content!" Ye Han gestured to the driver, and the convoy immediately changed directions - this was to prevent aliens from setting up an ambush on the planned route!
Xiao Yuan cried out sadly: "It's so hot, if only I could find a place to wait until dark before rushing on!"
"What a beautiful idea!" Ye Han didn't want to say anything more, so he said something to Xiao Yuan and shut his mouth.
He was so excited that he didn't want to say anything more, but the issue of global warming came to mind.
A few months ago, the temperature here would definitely not have been so high.
Xiao Yuan suddenly remembered something: "Captain, tell me, if we brush oil on the car lid, can we grill the meat directly?"
Ye Han was almost speechless: "I'm almost done. Please, why do you talk so much nonsense? Can't you just shut your mouth and be quiet for a while? Is it going to kill you if you don't speak?"
Xiao Yuan closed his mouth listlessly and stopped talking, feeling like a wild dog about to be burned to death by the sun.
The team kept moving forward, changing direction every time they walked a certain distance. They drove like this for several hours. The sun gradually set and the temperature finally dropped.
The sky was getting dark, but Ye Han had no intention of stopping. He changed people without changing cars, and the motorcade continued to move towards Qingtang.
Even though the convoy never stopped, the speed of the paratrooper vehicles in the desert was not very fast. In addition, they kept changing directions. From afternoon to dark, they only covered more than 300 kilometers, and the average speed was only 50 kilometers per hour.
Getting ahead is only a little better than a tortoise climbing up.
At this speed, it would take the convoy more than thirty hours to reach Qingtang from the hinterland of the Sea of Death.
Fortunately, the journey was safe and we did not encounter any accidents, otherwise the speed would have been slower.
However, more than a hundred kilometers to the east, there is a highway built before the war. As long as we get to the highway, the speed of the convoy will increase exponentially.
It's just that Ye Han knows where the highway is, and the aliens must also know that the convoy can drive in any direction in the desert. When it gets on the highway, it can only drive in one direction. Will the aliens be on the highway then?
