Start inheriting a mercenary group

"The situation is not good, volcanic activity is continuing to intensify!" Dr. Zhao stared at the instrument in his hand and said solemnly.

His voice seemed a little weak in the whistling wind, but every word was clearly heard by the team members.

Lu Ting frowned, and he looked around, seeing flames rising into the sky and thick smoke billowing. He knew that Dr. Zhao's analysis was correct, the volcano was about to erupt, and they had to take immediate measures to slow down its activity.

"What should we do?" Soap asked anxiously. His face was covered with dust, but his eyes were shining with determination.

"We need to develop a risky plan to go deep into the crater and implement a plan to slow down volcanic activity," Dr. Zhao said in a deep voice.

"Going deep into the crater? Isn't that seeking death?" Yuri exclaimed.

"We can't care about that now. We have to take a risk." Lu Ting said firmly. He knew that this decision concerned the lives of countless people, and he couldn't hesitate.

Under the guidance of Dr. Zhao, the team members quickly developed a risky plan.

They decided to take advantage of the special terrain near the crater and detonate a series of explosives to change the flow of magma and thus slow down the activity of the volcano.

"What is the success rate of this plan?" Xiaoqiang couldn't help but ask.

"Success rate? In the current situation, we can only do our best." Dr. Zhao said with a wry smile.

The atmosphere in the temporary command post of the Immortal Armed Mercenary Group was extremely tense. Lu Ting and his team members sat around a simple table, their faces full of seriousness and anxiety.

Dr. Zhao stood aside, holding a newly completed volcanic topographic map in his hand, his brows furrowed.

"The situation is much worse than we thought," Dr. Zhao began. "The volcanic activity is continuing to intensify. If we don't take immediate action, I'm afraid it will soon erupt."

Lu Ting took a deep breath. He knew what Dr. Zhao's words meant.

Once the volcano erupts, the consequences will be disastrous. He glanced at Soap and Yuri who were sitting next to him, and saw that both of them had serious expressions, and they obviously realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Dr. Zhao, do you have any suggestions?" Lu Ting asked.

Dr. Zhao pondered for a moment, then pointed to a location on the topographic map and said, "There is a crater here. If we can go deep into it and detonate a series of explosives at the right location, it is possible to change the flow of magma and slow down the activity of the volcano."

Dr. Zhao nodded and continued, "Although this plan is risky, it is our only option at the moment. However, to successfully implement this plan, we need precise planning and close cooperation."

"No problem," Soap patted his chest and said, "As long as you tell us what to do, Dr. Zhao, we promise to complete the task."

Lu Ting also nodded in agreement. He knew that this was not the time to hesitate or back down.

He looked around at the team members sitting around the table and spoke solemnly.

"Okay, everyone, listen up. We are now going to formulate a risky plan to go deep into the crater and implement a plan to slow down volcanic activity. This plan requires the efforts and cooperation of each of us. I don't want to see anyone hesitate or back down. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" the team members answered in unison.

Next, Dr. Zhao began to explain the specific steps and precautions of the plan in detail.

He pointed to different locations on the topographic map and explained where to place the explosives and when to detonate them. The team members listened and took notes carefully, fearing that they would miss any details.

After the explanation, Lu Ting began to assign tasks. He divided the team members into several groups based on each person's strengths and abilities, and each group was responsible for different tasks.

Soap and Yuri are responsible for leading the first team to place explosives deep near the crater; Xiaoqiang and Captain Qian are responsible for leading the second team to stand by in a safe area, ready to provide support at any time.

Nicolai and Sandman were responsible for reconnaissance and vigilance, while Ghost, Frost and Mengkala were responsible for logistics and medical assistance.

After assigning the tasks, Lu Ting once again emphasized the importance and danger of the plan.

He required each team to strictly follow the plan without any omissions or mistakes. At the same time, he also encouraged everyone to trust and support each other and face this arduous challenge together.

The team members expressed their determination and confidence. They knew that this was not the time to retreat or give up.

Only in this way can they successfully slow down the activity of the volcano and avoid a greater disaster.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard. A local government representative hurriedly walked into the command post, his face full of anxiety and panic: "Oh no! The volcano... the volcano is going to erupt again!"

Everyone stood up suddenly, with nervous looks on their faces.

Lu Ting took a deep breath and ordered decisively: "Execute the plan immediately! We must take action before the volcano erupts!"

The team members acted quickly, and they carried out the operation in an orderly manner according to the previous division of labor and plan. An adventure operation racing against time officially kicked off.

The night was as dark as ink, and the area near the crater was shrouded in thick sulfur smoke, as if the gate to hell was open.

The members of the Immortal Armed Mercenary Group, fully armed, stood at the foot of the volcano with solemn expressions. Their eyes were firm, and their faces were full of determination and courage.

"This is our battlefield." Lu Ting took a deep breath and broke the silence. He looked around at the team members around him, and everyone's eyes were shining with unyielding light.

Soap patted his gear and grinned, "With our outfit, even hell would have to give us some leeway, right?"

Yuri checked the explosives in his hand with a serious face: "Don't joke around, this is not a place for joking."

Lu Ting nodded and said seriously, "Okay, is everyone ready? Our mission this time is risky, but it is also for the lives of countless people. We must succeed."

"Ready!" the team members responded in unison, their voices firm and powerful.

Lu Ting waved his hand: "Let's go!"

The team members acted quickly and moved toward the crater in an orderly manner according to the plan they had made previously.

The roar of the volcano echoed in their ears, as if it was the roar of nature, trying to stop their progress. However, the team members were not intimidated. They supported each other and moved forward bravely.

As they got closer to the crater, the surrounding environment became increasingly harsh.

The hot magma flowed on the ground, making a hissing sound. The air was filled with the smell of sulfur and smoke, making it almost impossible to breathe.

However, the team members seemed not to feel these difficulties and they continued to move forward firmly.

"Attention! There is a lava flow ahead!" Team Qian shouted. Lu Ting responded quickly and led the team members to bypass the lava flow. They did not stop at all, because they knew that time is life. Every second of delay could cause more people to be hurt.

Finally, they arrived at a relatively safe location near the crater.

There is a natural rock barrier here that can resist some of the invasion of magma and smoke. The team members quickly took action and began to place explosives according to the previous division of labor.

Soap and Yuri were in charge of drilling holes in the rock barrier and placing the explosives in the appropriate locations.

Their movements were swift and precise, as if they were performing a delicate surgery.

Xiaoqiang and Captain Qian are responsible for connecting the detonation circuit to ensure that the explosives can be accurately detonated at the critical moment.

Nicolai and Sandman were responsible for keeping watch on the surroundings to prevent any accidents, while Ghost, Frost and Mengkala were ready to provide medical and logistical support at any time.

Just as they were busy and nervous, a strong tremor suddenly came. It seemed that the volcano had started a new round of activity.

The team members suddenly became nervous, but they did not panic. They knew that they had to remain calm and firm at this time.

"Don't panic, everyone! Continue with the mission!" Lu Ting ordered loudly.

The team members quickly adjusted their status and continued to engage in intense operations.

They knew that any hesitation or retreat at this time might lead to the failure of the mission. They had to persevere for the sake of those innocent lives.

After hard work, the team members finally successfully placed all the explosives. They quickly evacuated to a safe area and waited for the moment to detonate.

Lu Ting looked at the detonator in his hand and took a deep breath. He knew that if he pressed this button, it would determine the fate of countless people.

"Three, two, one, detonate!" Lu Ting ordered loudly.

With a loud bang, the explosives were successfully detonated, and a powerful force instantly changed the direction of the magma flow, leading it to a relatively safe area.

The roar of the volcano gradually subsided, as if nature was taking a breath. The team members watched this scene, their hearts filled with joy and pride. They knew that they had succeeded.

However, just as they were preparing to evacuate, a more violent tremor suddenly occurred.

The roar of the volcano gradually subsided, as if nature was taking a breath. The members of the Immortal Armed Forces stared at the crater and witnessed the result of their hard work.

After countless attempts and sacrifices, they finally succeeded in slowing down the activity of the volcano and avoiding a full-scale eruption disaster.

"We succeeded!" Soap shouted excitedly, breaking the silence around him.

"Yes, we succeeded." Lu Ting took a deep breath, and his tense nerves finally relaxed.

He looked at the team members around him, each of them had fatigue on their faces, but their eyes were shining. They knew that they had just completed a great task.

"Thank you all for your hard work." Lu Ting said, "Without you, we would not be able to complete this task."

"Commander, this is what we should do." Yuri said, "We are the Immortal Forces, and our mission is to protect innocent lives."

"Well said." Lu Ting patted Yuri's shoulder, "Now, we need to evacuate here as soon as possible to ensure everyone's safety."

The team members quickly packed up their equipment and prepared to evacuate. They knew that although the volcanic activity had slowed down, there was still a certain degree of danger. They needed to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.

Just as they were preparing to evacuate, there was a sudden tremor.

The team members suddenly became nervous, thinking that the volcano was about to erupt again. But they soon discovered that it was not the vibration of the volcano, but the sound of a helicopter.

"Our support is here!" Nikolai shouted excitedly.

Sure enough, a helicopter with the Immortal Armed Forces logo appeared in their sight. The helicopter slowly landed, stirring up a cloud of dust.

After the dust settled, the cabin door opened and a group of fully armed soldiers jumped out.

"You did a great job!" The leading officer walked up to Lu Ting and said, "We received your message and immediately sent support."

"Thank you for your support." Lu Ting said, "We need to evacuate here as soon as possible."

"No problem." The officer said, "The helicopter is ready and can take off at any time."

The aftermath of the volcano's roar gradually subsided, and the members of the Immortal Armed Forces stood on the ash-covered land, looking at the residents who were in tears due to fear and reluctance.

Their homeland, while not completely destroyed, is no longer what it once was.

"We must resettle these residents as soon as possible." Lu Ting said to the team members around him.

"Understood, Commander." Soap responded, always so quick and decisive.

The team members acted quickly, working with local authorities to build temporary shelters and provide food and medical supplies to residents.

Their busy figures shuttled through the disaster area, bringing hope and warmth to those helpless people.

"Thank you, thank you so much." An old man held Lu Ting's hand tightly, his eyes full of gratitude.

"You're welcome. It's our responsibility to protect everyone." Lu Ting said with a smile.

Just then, a commotion was heard. The team members quickly ran over to check the situation and found a group of residents gathered together because they were dissatisfied with the resettlement plan.

"We want to go home! We don't want to stay here!" someone shouted.

"Please calm down." Lu Ting stepped forward and tried to calm the crowd. "I understand how you feel, but the volcano could erupt again at any time. We must ensure everyone's safety."

"But what about our home? Our livestock and belongings are still there!" someone said anxiously.

"Please rest assured that we will work out a more comprehensive resettlement plan as soon as possible to ensure that everyone's living needs are met."

Lu Ting promised, "At the same time, we will also strengthen volcano monitoring and early warning. If there is any situation, we will take immediate action." (End of this chapter)
