Standing outside the cave, someone was eager to try.
Charles shook his head slightly. He had informed the headquarters last night that mercenaries from Blackwater would arrive in the afternoon. If there was really a danger in the pyramid, it would be safest to wait for the mercenaries from Blackwater.
"Seal the entrance and no one is allowed to go in without my order."
Charles turned and walked towards the room, leaving everyone behind who was looking at each other.
Wang Xu glanced at him in surprise. In the movie, Charles and his group saw the cave, but they went down anxiously.
This time, because of his joining, Charles actually changed his attitude. I really don’t know whether this change is good or bad.
Four mercenaries guarded the entrance while the others dispersed as if nothing had happened.
afternoon
Woohoo!!!
Accompanied by the roar of engines, more than thirty snowmobiles and six or seven tracked jeeps roared in.
These people wore black uniforms, sunglasses, and tactical vests with a distinctive bear claw pattern on them.
"Who is the person in charge? I am Major Paul Anderson from Blackwater International. Ask your person in charge to come out and see me." The convoy stopped outside the camp and a man in his thirties stepped out of the jeep, holding an M16 rifle.
of middle-aged people.
Henry, who was standing on the sentry post, shouted loudly: "Paul, you bitch!"
"Henry?" The middle-aged man took off his sunglasses, threw the rifle in his hand to others, and walked towards the entrance of the camp: "Why are you here?"
"After I retired from the Navy SEALs, I accepted Mr. Charles's invitation and have been working as a security director at Wayland Industries for the past few years." Henry climbed down from the sentry post and raised his hand to hammer Paul on the chest: "Good guy,
When I retired, you were still a captain, and we were equal in rank, but now you are both a major?"
Blackwater is the largest private security group in the United States. It implements militarized management within the group. Whatever your position is in the army, you will be in Blackwater, and you will enjoy corresponding treatment.
Paul claimed to be a major. This military rank was obviously not assigned by Blackwater. It could only be that he was a major when he retired.
With a look of envy on his face, Henry lowered his voice and said, "If I retire later, I can become a major."
"Come on Henry, I almost died in Iraq just to get this medal. It was not a pleasant experience." Paul's eyes flashed with lingering fear, and before Henry could ask any more questions, he quickly changed the subject: "Where is Mr. Charles?"
I came with my men, and these are good boys, two-thirds of them fresh from Jamaica."
"Jamaica, what happened over there?"
"Pirates have hijacked two cargo ships. The goods are not clean. The buyers dare not alert the government and can only ask us to come forward to solve the problem."
During the chat, Henry ordered his men to find Charles, and he took Paul to visit the camp.
There is nothing interesting to see in the whaling station camp. Henry focused on the pyramid below and the cave that suddenly appeared last night.
Paul stood outside the cave, took a flashlight to look inside, and muttered: "It's really amazing. Could this be caused by aliens? Have you seen any aliens?"
"How is it possible? There is only this hole in the ground and nothing else. We don't even know how the hole was formed." Henry didn't explain much. Unless he saw this kind of thing with his own eyes, it would be difficult for anyone to do it.
I won't believe it.
The two chatted for a while, and Charles walked out with the help of the doctor, looking not very well.
"Mr. Charles, what are you?" Henry took the initiative to greet him and looked at Charles with some hesitation.
Charles waved his hand slightly and coughed: "It's okay, the altitude here is too high, I'm not used to it."
Henry nodded slightly and explained to Paul in a low voice: "Mr. Charles has terminal lung cancer. He has been receiving treatment and is not in good health."
"Hello, Mr. Charles, I am Major Paul from Blackwater Company, and I have been ordered to follow your orders." Paul performed a military salute and then stepped forward to shake hands.
Charles nodded with a smile and said, "I need you to protect me when I go down. There may be some not-so-pleasant things in this pyramid. Your people need to ensure our safety."
"No problem, we are a professional team. Even if it is connected to Jurassic Park below, we can still send them back to the museum." Paul replied with a smile, looking confident.
Charles took a few sips from the portable oxygen bottle, turned to look at Henry, who was standing with his hands behind his hands, and said, "Notify everyone to prepare, it's time for us to take action."
"Yes, sir." Henry followed the order and started kicking the doors one by one.
"Get up, you lazy fools, it's time for us to go down."
"Hey, can't you be gentler? Kick the door down and drink the northwest wind at night!"
Amidst the noise, the entire camp came to life, and people in each group began to get ready.
The engineering team took the first action, parking a special armored vehicle at the entrance of the cave and starting to transport the zipline into the cave from the back of the vehicle.
A dozen zip lines with iron balls tied to them slid down at a 30-degree angle. After about a few minutes, the zip lines suddenly tightened and the end with the iron balls tied to them touched the ground.
"I want to go down first!" Seeing the people from the engineering team making OK gestures, Charles stood up first.
Faced with the big boss's proposal, of course the people around him could not object. Even Paul who wanted to say something was stopped by Henry in advance.
"I'm second, okay?" Woods also stood up and fiddled with the downward cable.
Everyone nodded again. Woods is an Antarctic survival expert. If there is a disaster, she alone is more useful than a hundred people.
"Let's get started. We have to hurry up. My satellite can find this place. I believe others can too. We have to race against time." Charles stood in front of the cave entrance and directed the engineers to provide him with safety protection.
Ten minutes later, everything was ready.
Charles grabbed the pulley with one hand and was the first to slide down, followed by Woods, the second, and then Charles' assistant Max.
As soon as the three of them went down, Henry started to follow up with the security team, followed by the Blackwater people and expert team.
Twelve zip lines can transport thirty-six people downward at one time.
Watching these people disappear on the surface, Wang Xu stood in front of the window of the room, smoking a cigar, and whispered: "The audience comes in, the show is about to begin."
"Check the fixed rod of the wire rope. After Mr. Charles and the others go down, we have to send down the scientific instruments of the expert team. These big guys are not light."
"The wind has picked up again. The weather here is really bad. Come here quickly and put up a shield in front of the cave entrance to prevent the wind and snow from blowing into the cave."
"Let the generator run, and we need to ensure the power consumption under the pyramid. Those high-power searchlights do not save power."
"Where's the radar car? Send the signal quickly. After Mr. Charles gets down, he will take a photo as soon as possible. We must send this photo to the United States as quickly as possible."
"Two people are here. Our doctor friend has never been on a zipline and he doesn't dare to go down by himself."
As time went by, most of the people on the surface were gone, leaving only seven or eight people from the engineering team to look after the machines, and ten Blackwater mercenaries to guard the camp.
Seeing that they were almost gone, Wang Xu threw away his cigar, walked out of the room, and stood at the entrance of the cave.
The few engineers guarding here were about to say hello to him when they noticed a dark shadow flashing in front of their eyes. Looking again, there was Wang Xu's shadow nowhere to be seen.
Whoosh!!
Wang Xu didn't borrow the zipline at all. He was like a dragonfly, with his toes pointing more than ten meters to the ground.
After a few breaths, a bright light came from the front. Wang Xu jumped out like an eagle and landed heavily on the ground.
boom!!
There was a roar, and Wang Xu stood on the ground like a javelin, raising his head and looking in front of him.
This is already the entrance to the pyramid, and dozens of people, including Charles, are surrounding it, hurriedly building equipment.
Hearing the roar behind them, everyone present was startled.
Just as Paul was about to reprimand, his eyes flashed, and his expression froze.
Upon first sight, with Wang Xu's feet as the center, the bluestone floor tiles were cracked one after another. From a distance, they looked like a spider web spread on the ground.
