Everything was ready, but the soldiers were also very tired. Although Ye Han and the major were eager to leave, they had to consider the condition of the soldiers.
Ye Han believed that as long as he gave an order, the soldiers would be able to strictly carry out the orders no matter how tired they were. But now it was not a critical moment of life and death. Knowing that the soldiers were exhausted, they still jumped around and waved their guns to let the soldiers charge?
That's not what commanders do.
The major also had to consider the status of the soldiers. The two even got together and discussed for a while with Zhang Ruo's translation, and finally decided to let the soldiers rest for the night.
This is a very risky decision!
Although all the aliens here have been killed by the coalition forces, this is only a part of the spider cave, and it is probably a corner of the spider cave. Maybe there is another group of aliens hiding at the end of any branch road, no matter how they sneak in quietly
The cave hall or the gathering of insect swarms can pose a great threat to the coalition forces.
No matter how you look at it, the best choice is to open the passage immediately and leave the spider cave as soon as possible.
But it is not easy to leave. There must be countless giant insects blocking the passage. Even if you break through the giant insects, you still have to follow the route you came from before you can return to the ground. The insect swarm will definitely chase and intercept you in the process.
If you are not careful, you may get lost in the maze-like spider cave.
It can be expected that once the passage is blasted, the coalition forces will face a double counterattack by aliens and insect swarms. What awaits the coalition forces is likely to be continuous battles. With the current state of the soldiers, it is difficult to cope with high-intensity continuous battles. They must
Give the soldiers the necessary rest.
It was precisely after determining this prerequisite that Ye Han and the U.S. Army Major jointly made the decision to rest and recuperate.
After the order was issued, everyone except the sentry immediately took a rest. After a while, the soldiers fell asleep and slept until the next morning.
After breakfast, the coalition forces conducted a simple pre-war mobilization. With a loud noise, the blocked passage was finally opened. Three Chinese armored vehicles immediately aimed their microwave cannons at the entrance of the passage.
Ye Han originally thought that as soon as the passage was opened, a large swarm of giant ants would pour in like a tide, but after the smoke cleared, he discovered that there were no swarms waiting for him at all, only a few half-dead spider ants that could still move.
These unlucky spider ants must have been trapped in the passage by the corpse of the giant ant, unable to enter or retreat all night long.
It was a good thing that there were no insect swarms in the way. Ye Han couldn't wait to order the troops to set off. Four armored vehicles immediately drove into the passage, pressing down the insect corpses on the ground as they moved up.
In order to ensure safety, the microwave cannon on the roof is always in working condition, as is the US military's infrasonic cannon.
It was probably because of the all-pervasive microwaves and infrasound waves that the team did not encounter a giant insect until they reached the top of the slope. This calmed Ye Han's anxiety a lot. Under the premise of ensuring that the route was correct, the team increased their speed.
Highest.
After staying in the spider cave for so long, the soldiers' mood can be described as returning home.
But just when Ye Han thought everything was going well, the No. 1 car suddenly came to a sudden stop, and the following cars also stopped. Even the convoy with the US military had to stop.
Ye Han was slightly angry: "What's going on?"
Pilot Xu Ke got out of the cockpit: "Captain, something is wrong!"
"What's wrong?"
"We seem to have gone astray." Xu Xu said.
Ye Han looked sternly: "Why don't you follow the map?"
This is not the first time to enter the Spider Cave. Both the Chinese and American parties have made necessary preparations. The entire route into the cave has been recorded, and an electronic map has been drawn while walking. When returning, you only need to follow the map. It couldn't be simpler.
, how can Ye Han not be angry when things go astray like this?
Xu Xu was extremely innocent: "I just followed the map. There was a branch on the map. I just arrived at the place, but there was nothing where the branch was supposed to be!"
Is there anything else like this?
Ye Han immediately became alert: "Where should the fork in the road be?"
"Should...well, move back thirty or forty meters."
"Follow me!" Ye Han immediately jumped out of the car and led a group of soldiers to check carefully along the road. However, he looked back and forth three times and couldn't find anything wrong.
The maps were automatically generated yesterday, and each vehicle has its own independent data. Comparing the records of the four vehicles, it can be found that the four maps are exactly the same, but there is nothing where there should be a fork in the road.
The US military, which had been following behind, didn't know what was going on. It noticed that something was not right about China's movements. The US immediately asked about the situation. After a brief communication between the two sides, the US immediately checked the data it recorded. The results were consistent with the Chinese. There was indeed a fork in the record.
, but now the fork in the road has disappeared, and it has become a solid cave wall that can be seen everywhere in the spider cave.
This new situation made Ye Han's mind a mess: "Did aliens block the road?" His tone was full of disbelief. He really couldn't imagine how aliens could do this.
"Blocked?" Liu Bin was stunned, but he immediately realized the key, "Car bug? This... this... damn it!"
Ye Han's face was as dark as water: "This time we are in big trouble."
"Captain, are the Americans following the same path as us?" Liu Bin reminded.
"Zhang Ruo, ask." Ye Han ordered.
When Zhang Ruo conveyed Ye Han's message, the US Army Major said something, Zhang Ruo shook his head helplessly: "They came here too.
This result is really heartbreaking.
Liu Bin said again: "Captain, we can't be trapped here like this. Can we pinpoint the location and find the fork in the road and blow it up?" Liu Bin suggested in a low voice.
Ye Han gritted his teeth: "Let's give it a try."
After the order was issued, the soldiers immediately compared yesterday's records, accurately compared the distance and ground slope, quickly found the location of the fork in the road, drilled holes and carried out deep blasting.
The first explosion exploded a layer of soil more than one meter deep, and the compacted soil disintegrated like rocks.
The second explosion was more than one meter deep, and there was still no sign of clearing.
The third explosion was at a depth of 3.4 meters and was still compacted soil.
In the fourth explosion, there was not much explosive left. The demolition crew used all the explosives, but still could not blast a passage.
"Did you look in the wrong place?" Liu Bin inevitably had doubts.
"It should be right, this is the place." Ye Han said, "Look, it's more than three meters deep and it's still compacted soil. Do you think it's normal?"
Liu Bin suddenly realized: "You mean, the aliens deliberately blocked the road? No wonder nothing happened last night. They are waiting for us here!"
"Aliens... hum, they are very smart." Ye Han exhaled, "Zhang Ruo, ask the Americans if they know of any other routes."
