The spaceship, which had a burnt surface, hit a tree, breaking countless branches and then fell heavily to the ground, startling Xue Ju.
But the situation was not as serious as he thought. More than ten seconds later, a group of marines rushed out of the spacecraft with rifles in hand. Xue Ju rushed over to greet him. After seeing the number on the chest of the leading officer, he immediately saluted: "Captain Xiao!"
There are two types of numbers for Marines. One is a fixed number worn on the chest. People who understand the coding rules can see the hidden information such as the unit, position and rank to which the number belongs at a glance; the other is a number assigned to facilitate the execution of tasks.
Temporary numbers, such as 601 to 604.
"What's going on below?" Xiao Yuan asked impatiently.
The mission of Xiao Yuan and his troops in this operation was to provide backup. He did not expect that the first news received from the rear would come from Ye Han, nor did he expect that Ye Han would fall into the cave worm nest.
"I haven't been contacted yet, so I don't know what's going on."
Xiao Yuan glanced sideways at Xue Ju: "Stop talking nonsense, time is pressing, let's set off immediately!"
"Yes!" Xue Ju agreed and quickly ran towards the entrance of the cave.
Xiao Yuan commanded the troops to follow closely, and asked as they advanced: "Xue Ju, please tell us the situation in detail." The mission information provided by the Tiangong was very brief, and he needed to know more detailed information.
Xue Ju agreed and jumped into the hole. After Xiao Yuan jumped in, he began to describe the previous situation in detail.
At the same time, Ye Han and others, who had joined the reinforcements, were marching towards the underground lake.
The terrain in the cave is extremely complicated. Even if you have walked through it once before, your speed will not be much faster.
Ye Han encountered the same difficulties that Xue Ju had encountered before. He was extremely anxious, but could not think of an effective solution. He could only keep an eye on the marks left along the way to avoid going in the wrong direction.
Rather than getting lost, Ye Han was more worried about the elusive wolf.
The reinforcements are only two combat groups of fourteen people. Excluding Luo Qi and the two soldiers who installed the repeater, Ye Han's side has a total of sixteen people. The strength is too weak. Once the route to the underground lake is cut off by wolves,
, the possibility of opening a road is infinitely close to zero.
At that time, no matter how unwilling Ye Han is, he will have no choice but to give up the rescue plan.
Another plan is to take the route found by Xue Ju and Evil Hu, which can lead directly to the cliff by the lake. However, Evil Tiger said that road is very difficult to walk, and the two people left intermittent marks to avoid the wolves.
Tiger was not sure of getting through, and Ye Han was so angry that he had to give up this tempting idea.
More than ten minutes later, the team finally arrived near the hole above the underground lake. Ye Han lay down at the entrance of the hole and looked down, but could only see a line of lake shore, not the stone cliff at all.
He immediately called on the radio: "Liu Bin, where are you?"
What Ye Han was most worried about happened. There was no response from the radio, and his heart suddenly rose. But the more critical the moment, the calmer Ye Han became.
The most important thing right now is how to get to the underground lake.
Jumping through the hole seems to be the fastest option, but jumping directly into the lake will inevitably attract a swarm of lake insects, which will slow down the landing speed.
If there was a commander who was not so smart, he might just order the troops to jump into the lake, but Ye Han didn't think jumping into the lake was a good idea at all.
After realizing that he had to rush to the lake shore as soon as possible, Ye Han immediately shouted: "Bi Min!"
"arrive!"
Ye Han continued: "Using my position as the reference point, is there any space one hundred and forty meters east?"
"Report, there is no space due east, and there is a small cave hall one hundred and sixty meters east-south."
"That's it, Ouyang Ping!"
"arrive!"
"Just dig a hole in the ground for me in that place just now!"
Ouyang Ping was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what Ye Han meant. After answering loudly, he picked up the explosives and ran towards the cave hall.
Others immediately understood Ye Han's thoughts. Bi Min quickly called the blaster from his home team and ordered him to follow and help Ouyang Ping.
In just over half a minute, a low roar came from the distance.
Ye Han asked impatiently: "Ouyang Ping, is it clear?"
"No, the bottom of the cave is too thick, we have to continue blasting!" Ouyang Ping said.
"As soon as possible, pay attention to safety."
"yes!"
Half a minute later, there was another explosion.
In this way, a cannon was fired every half minute until the seventh blast, which penetrated the rock formation more than five meters thick.
"It worked!" Ouyang Ping loudly reported the news.
The reinforcements brought a lot of explosives. It would not be a problem to directly blow through the five-meter rock formation. However, the cave is not a solid place. If too much explosives are used, the power will not only act on the ground, but the walls and ceilings may also be damaged by the explosion.
, and may even cause partial collapse of the cave.
Therefore, Ouyang Ping wisely reduced the amount of explosives and used multiple blasts to achieve his goal.
However, there is no need to explain these detailed processes to Ye Han. As long as the goal of blasting through the floor is achieved, Ye Han doesn't care at all what the process is.
After receiving the news, Ye Han immediately ordered: "Bi Min, fix the rope and get down immediately!"
"yes!"
Several marines got together and contributed the ropes they carried, and connected them end to end, and soon turned into a long rope that was fifty or sixty meters long.
After the rope head was fixed on a stalagmite, Bi Min tugged hard. After confirming that there was no problem, he loudly said: "Chief of Staff, it's done!"
Ye Han nodded: "Those who have been here get off first, others will follow!" After saying that, he grabbed the rope as thick as a wire, wrapped it around the robot hand to increase friction, and jumped off without hesitation.
Bi Min was so anxious that he jumped to his feet. Why did he accidentally let the chief of staff jump first? He pushed Ouyang Ping away with his shoulder and said, "Wait behind you!" After that, he jumped down immediately after Ye Han.
Ouyang Ping can only be ranked third.
The soldiers behind did not dare to jump down anymore and could only wait patiently.
The load-bearing capacity of the rope is limited. It is not a problem to hang three fully armed marines at the same time, but it is difficult to say four.
After Ye Han landed, he immediately raised his rifle and went into alert mode. However, the lakeshore was no different from when he left. He cast his gaze towards the cliff, but could not find a single figure.
"Liu Bin, where are you? I'll call you back immediately... Is there anyone on this channel? I'll hear you back soon!" Ye Han asked several times in a row, until everyone stood behind him, but he couldn't get any response.
Ye Han's heart sank to the bottom, and he couldn't help shouting: "Check the cliff, quickly!"
"Yes!" Ouyang Pingping and others immediately rushed to the cliff. At this time, Bi Min also understood the situation and immediately led the team to the cliff.
Ouyang Ping rushed to the bottom of the cliff and shouted: "Report, there are bullet casings here!"
"How many?"
"a lot of!"
Ye Han's heart sank: "Go up and have a look!"
"Yes!" Ouyang Ping agreed and was the first to climb up the cliff.
