Several off-road vehicles met in the suburbs and drove eastward. After driving along the road for half an hour, a flash of fish belly white appeared in the east. Ye Han promptly directed the convoy to leave the road and drive into the vast desert.
After the operation, the intermittent electromagnetic interference finally ended amid protests in Outer Mongolia. This not only meant that domestic support for cross-border troops had come to an end, but also meant that military aircraft could no longer cross the border.
Of course, if there is indeed a need in this regard, neither the military nor Zhongnanhai would mind learning from the hegemonic approach.
Ye Han and his team members had to drive through more than 200 kilometers of desert and semi-desert areas in order to cross the border and return to the motherland. However, the combat operation has ended, and the possibility of encountering danger on their return is extremely small. Everyone is in a very good mood.
That's right, I don't have to worry about the enemy's pursuit at all.
To put it bluntly, given the current situation in Outer Mongolia, the Mongolian army did not dare to pursue them into the desert area where giant insects were infested. Maozi certainly did not lack people or courage, but they lacked manpower and necessary equipment in Outer Mongolia.
Moreover, Mao Zi would definitely not quarrel with Bei Du at this time, and Mao Zi would not dare to do it openly if he wanted to take revenge.
The cross-border troops will be able to return to the country in a few hours. Even if Mao Zi can find the right people and gather them together, by the time Mao Zi's troops fly over from Europe, Ye Han and his team members may have to wait for a long time.
Returned to the country.
The temperature in the desert is relatively low at night. It is not until the sun rises from the east that the temperature begins to rise, but the rate of warming is really fast.
Ye Han had almost no desert combat experience, but he had team members who were proficient in desert combat and promptly reminded Ye Han to pay attention to the condition of the vehicle.
Ye Han immediately ordered the team to stop and deflate some of the air in all the tires, even the spare tires.
Doing this can prevent the wheels from blowing out due to excessive temperature. If a tire blows out in a desert with nowhere to go, it won't be a huge problem.
Although the latest battery backpack was used in this operation, no matter how long the battery pack lasts, it cannot support everyone's return to the country.
The intelligence clearly stated that this area is an insect-occupied area infested by giant insects. Without the protection of power armor, no matter how powerful the combat force is, it will inevitably die of insect bites. If the armor's stored power is used up, everyone will be trapped.
Waiting in the desert for support from home.
The driving speed in the desert is far inferior to that on the highway. At about four o'clock in the morning, we only drove 60 to 70 kilometers, and it was not a straight-line distance, but the actual driving distance!
Not all places along this road were deserts. Ye Han and others encountered three settlements, two on the riverside and one in a small oasis in the desert.
However, these places have long been abandoned, and only the broken bones and broken tools prove that people once lived here.
Near the small oasis, Ye Han and others also encountered a large swarm of wolf insects. After discovering the abnormality, they immediately moved away from the swarm without disturbing the swarm.
But the further south we went, the more wolves we encountered, and the convoy was targeted several times by lone wolves.
The wolf bugs ran faster than off-road vehicles in the desert, and the convoy could not get rid of them. However, in order to carry out the mission, the team members did not bring armored rifles, and only self-defense pistols had the power to penetrate the insect shells.
In order to prevent the off-road vehicle from being destroyed by the wolf bugs, everyone could only use pistols to fight against the giant bugs. The wolf bugs were killed, but the loud noise of shooting attracted the attention of more wolf bugs, and the nearby wolf bugs tended to gather more and more.
.
Ye Han frowned deeply and hesitated whether to use the heavy weapons on the car.
However, the number of heavy weapons prepared on the off-road vehicle is very small, and if they are used up, they will not be able to kill a few wolves. On the other hand, if it attracts more wolves, wouldn't it be worth the loss?
Just when Ye Han was hesitant, a small sand dune more than a hundred meters away suddenly exploded from the inside. A pair of giant pincers stuck out of the sand and clamped down on a wolf that stepped onto the small sand dune.
Immediately, a thick and long hooked tail popped out of the sand, and then a giant scorpion, which was larger than an off-road vehicle, emerged from the sand dunes. The high-erected hooked tail suddenly plunged down, piercing the wolf's shell.
The wolf's struggle quickly collapsed, and it soon became motionless under the grip of the giant scorpion's claws.
The nearby wolves looked like frightened rabbits, but they did not run away like rabbits. Instead, they abandoned the convoy and rushed towards the giant scorpion. Some rushed to the giant scorpion, and some jumped onto the giant scorpion.
After surrounding the giant scorpions, they gnawed and bit them.
The giant scorpion has rough skin and thick flesh. It doesn't care about the wolf worms on its body at all. It just brings the prey in its giant claws to its mouth and eats it happily.
The giant scorpion was not satisfied after eating one, so he picked up a wolfworm and continued eating.
The sudden change shocked everyone, Xiao Yuan's eyes almost popped out: "Isn't this thing stretched out to ten meters?"
"It's not even ten meters, but it's eight meters!" Chi Wei said.
Ye Han shouted in time: "Why are you so stunned? Let's go!"
Wolfworms are not easy to mess with, and giant scorpions are even harder to mess with than wolfworms. Ye Han doesn't think at all that giant scorpions will have a good impression of humans.
While the wolves were besieging the giant scorpion, the convoy moved far away.
Xiao Yuan's eyes always fell on the giant scorpion: "The wolf doesn't seem to be able to chew it."
Ye Han glanced in the rearview mirror: "With such a big body, the shell must be as thick as an armored vehicle? It would be weird if it could be chewed through."
"Captain, are giant scorpions the natural enemies of wolves?" Xiao Yuan asked.
Ye Han was startled: "Maybe, what do you want to say?" There are many natural enemy relationships in nature, but he has never heard of a natural enemy relationship between giant insects.
It’s not that there is no such thing, it’s that the insect plague occurred for too short a period of time. The giant insects themselves were extremely random, and they didn’t have time to form a stable natural enemy relationship.
"If you take this thing back and send it to the research institute..." Xiao Yuan shook his head halfway through his words, "Forget it, I'll just say it casually."
It is not a big problem for the heavy weapons on the car to kill the giant scorpion, but with so many wolves surrounding them, even if the giant scorpions are killed, there is no way to snatch the giant scorpion out of the wolf's mouth. Moreover, the off-road vehicle has no towing ability, and this place is far from the border.
There are still hundreds of kilometers to go. Even if the giant scorpion is snatched, wolves and insects will fight for it halfway, and the possibility of transporting it back to the country is really slim.
"Report this later and let the big shots in Beidu worry about it." Ye Han smiled.
"I'm afraid they'll send us here again." Chi Wei said, holding the back of his head.
"That's better than nothing now." Xiao Yuan said, "Can off-road vehicles compare with armored vehicles? By then we won't even need armored vehicles, we will have to drive tanks."
Ye Han chuckled: "That's a good idea. That's what we'll do when the time comes. We must change the tank cannon into a net cannon. Let's catch them one by one and put them back in groups and put them directly on the border. Even the giant ants will be saved."
