Armor-piercing bullets don't believe in carbon-based monsters

Chapter 335 Entrance
Doppler radar?

Upon hearing Fuxi's assessment, Chen Jian couldn't help but frown.

He had considered many possibilities, but he never imagined that this thing could be related to radar.

"What do you mean? Is this reconnaissance equipment?"

Chen Jian asked.

"It doesn't look like a reconnaissance device."

Even Fuxi's voice sounded somewhat hesitant in the headphones.

"This looks like some kind of control device; it should just be one part of the control system."

"Sir, based on the information you mentioned that 'a large number of similar devices exist in the mountain city,' I can make a preliminary judgment that this should be one of the pieces of equipment serving a large-scale control system."

"However, the role and function of the control system are unknown."

"It's possible that this is an option to achieve full smart city development."

"But I cannot make an effective judgment on the specific plan."

"clear."

As Fuxi finished speaking, Chen Jian let out a long breath.

mountain city.

This city is becoming increasingly complex.

The first layer of the secret hidden beneath the mountains has been revealed, but when Chen Jian tries to explore its core, he discovers that the city is like an onion, with layer after layer.

underground.

Only by successfully entering the underground of the mountain city can one truly penetrate these thick shells and reach the very heart of the secret.

Thinking of this, Chen Jian looked at Ji Xing and asked:
"Do you remember that taste?"

"remember."

Ji Xing nodded solemnly and handed the strip of cloth in his hand to Chen Jian.

"Lin Yu's injuries weren't serious—at least he wasn't seriously injured when he left this strip of cloth."

“We need to explore downwards. With such a commotion, if they haven’t discovered us yet, it’s very likely that his team has already entered the underground area of ​​the mountain city.”

"I think so too."

Chen Jian turned to look at the park below, and after a moment of contemplation, said:
"Based on the current clues, Lin Yu should have entered the park to look for food after running out of food."

"They hunted several deer and took the venison with them."

"However, the park is on the edge of the restoration area, and there are still a large number of unmanned machines damaged by electromagnetic pulses in the surrounding area."

"It is unlikely that they entered the park while the mountain town was repairing the damaged areas, which means that they most likely arrived at the park after the second nuclear explosion."

"The time limit is no more than 24 hours."

"After receiving the food, they will inevitably need to take a short rest."

"That basically means that they were probably still alive at least 18 hours ago."

"And 18 hours ago was the time when we conducted our first round of aerial reconnaissance and supply delivery."

"The supplies we deployed were clearly marked with smoke signals and equipped with buzzers."

"If they are still alive, they will surely be able to find the airdropped supplies."

"But they didn't react."

There's only one possibility.

"They are in a place where they cannot see this series of signals."

"underground."

How many underground entrances are there within a 1-kilometer radius of the park?

As soon as Chen Jian finished speaking, Ji Xing immediately turned on the PDA.

"The exact location of the underground entrance cannot be determined at present."

"However, based on the density analysis of the unmanned mechanical debris shown on the map, there are a total of three potential entrances in the vicinity."

"These are the cliffside tunnel, the subway station entrance, and the underground civil defense project beneath the building in front."

"Which one do we start with?"

"Cliffside tunnel".

Chen Jian answered decisively:
"The most damaged unmanned machines were found in the main passageway."

"Be ready for battle."

"Zhang Chao and Liu Hao, stay here and wait for orders. The rest of you, come with me."

"understand!"

At Chen Jian's command, everyone immediately sprang into action.

Guo Xu nodded to the two who remained, then quickly approached Chen Jian and the other two who were organizing their equipment.

"where are we going?"

he asked.

"You haven't figured it out yet, have you? The above-ground part of this city is just a disguise."

"Or, even if it's not a disguise, it's just some kind of 'redundant facility' that can be discarded at will."

"To uncover the truth about the mountain city, we must go down to the bottom."

"Downwards? Downwards again?!"

"Correct."

Chen Jian gave a simple answer.

Guo Xu frowned deeply.

For him, even the act of "entering the mountain city" was considered a desecration.

And now, Chen Jian actually wants to continue downwards.
Indeed, after entering the mountain city, he could clearly sense that the city was not as "divine" as he had originally thought.

In fact, it could be said that this is just a relatively new site.

However, when he heard Chen Jian's speculations about the "underground world," hope rose in his heart.

Perhaps that is the true location of the so-called "holy land"?

Perhaps, as long as one doesn't actively go inside, the faith in the holy site won't be shattered?

He was unwilling to take that step.

But he also knew that he had come here to take that step.

Only by completely destroying idols can faith be reborn.

Guo Xu took a deep breath and then asked:
"Shall we go straight in?"

"Would it be too dangerous?"

"Do not."

Chen Jian shook his head.

"Let's explore using unmanned equipment first."

"We need to first establish a signal relay base station, and then use drones to enter the tunnel to create a three-dimensional image and complete the first round of reconnaissance."

"The process may alert any potential enemies within the organization, so we must be prepared to evacuate at any time."

"Hand me the explosives over there."

Guo Xu looked in the direction Chen Jian pointed, then grabbed a box of explosives and placed it in front of Chen Jian.

What are explosives used for?

he asked.

"Close the passageway."

“There are three underground passages in our vicinity, and so far, the structures at the exits are not very sturdy.”

"If an uncontrollable risk occurs, we can blow up the passage to buy ourselves time to evacuate."

"I've marked the demolition location on the map."

"After the operation begins, place the explosives according to my instructions."

".clear!"

Guo Xu nodded solemnly and took the explosives from Chen Jian, which had been disassembled and had the detonators set.

"Put the detonator away now before inserting it into the explosive pin during deployment."

"Li Shi, take a heavy machine gun and pack your ammunition."

"Let's go!"

"understand!"

At this moment, Ji Xing and Li Shi, who had already prepared their equipment, immediately stood up.

Following Chen Jian's instructions, Zhang Chao and Liu Hao aimed their heavy machine guns and sniper grenades at the tunnel entrance less than 500 meters away.

In case of unforeseen circumstances, they would be the strongest firepower support for Chen Jian and his team.

The four of them continued down the building. When they passed two entrances, Ji Xing and Guo Xu set up explosive devices according to Chen Jian's instructions.

The four of them then continued forward, heading towards the tunnel.

"The surrounding environment is safe."

Liu Hao's voice came through the radio. Compared to Zhang Chao and Guo Xu, he seemed to have adapted to the Huaxia Army's combat methods much faster.

"I've already set my sights on the tunnel ahead."

"This thermal imager can only see a distance of about ten meters inside the cave entrance."

"Any deeper up, my position becomes invisible."

"clear."

Chen Jian replied briefly:

"That's enough."

"Disengage the safety, activate the fire control device, and be ready to suppress fire at any time."

"received."

Liu Hao's voice wasn't tense, which made Chen Jian breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the team was less than two hundred meters away from the tunnel. Chen Jian raised his hand to signal them to slow down, and at the same time deployed his weapon racks and aimed at the tunnel.

"Follow me, advance in a single file formation."

Upon receiving the order, the four people who had been spread out horizontally quickly contracted and, led by Chen Jian, slowly advanced forward.

"The smell is getting stronger and stronger."

"It's clearly emanating from underground."

"But strangely, the same smell is also coming from the direction of the park."

Ji Xing spoke in a low voice, and Chen Jian nodded slightly before asking:
Did you smell the blood of Lin Yu and the others?

"It's in the direction of the tunnel, and it's very dense."

"Very strong?"

A bad feeling rose in Chen Jian's heart, and just then, he suddenly noticed that there was a large patch of dried blood at the entrance of the tunnel.

He quickened his pace instinctively, and upon reaching the location of the bloodstains, he gave the order again:

"Li Shi, Guo Xu, turn on the thermal fusion night vision goggles, establish firing positions, and aim for the inside of the tunnel for surveillance."

"Ji Xing, come and take a look!"

"receive."

Ji Xing stepped forward, and after looking around, she frowned slightly and said:

"These two bloodstains did not come from the same person."

"But the bloodstains didn't have that strange smell."

"The pool of blood closer to the cave entrance comes from the owner of the strip of cloth in our hands, while the pool of blood further away comes from another Holy Blood."

"He must be dead."

"The bloodstains smelled of brain matter."

"But his body"

"The situation is not good."

Ji Xing didn't finish her sentence, but Chen Jian already understood what she meant.

The situation is indeed not good.

Based on the traces at the scene, at least two members of Lin Yu's team were attacked here, and one of them died here.

What about the body of the dead person?
Given the dire circumstances they faced, even if some of them survived, there would absolutely be no time to move the bodies or properly dispose of them.

Then there is only one answer.

They have been completely wiped out, and the people of the underground mountain city have come to the surface to clean up the bodies.

what does this mean?
This means that the mountain city has not lost its ability to fight back.

They only went underground temporarily out of caution after the two nuclear attacks, but that doesn't mean they don't have the ability to return to the surface and launch an attack!

"Set up explosive devices."

"Li Shi, advance 15 meters into the tunnel and lay the landmines."

"The drone takes off, enters the tunnel, and establishes a signal relay."

"understand!"

"receive."

As soon as Chen Jian gave the order, the atmosphere in the squad became tense.

The small drone took off with a buzz and rushed into the depths of the tunnel.

Li Shi followed closely behind the drone and deployed three infrared-triggered landmines at the location designated by Chen Jian.

After finishing, he quickly retreated to Chen Jian's side, then lay prone on the ground, unfolded the tripod of the 301 heavy machine gun, and aimed at the depths of the tunnel.

The thick fog obscured everyone's vision, but under the perspective of the thermal fusion night vision goggles, nothing could be hidden.

Chen Jian transferred the drone signal to the smart eyepiece and stared intently at the captured footage.

What he saw before him was a rather ordinary cave passage, so ordinary that he thought he had come to the wrong place.

There were no lights, no cameras, no cellular network base stations, and no environmental maintenance equipment commonly found in underground fortifications.

It really was just a bare tunnel.

The drone flew downwards, and as it passed the third curved turn, the signal began to become unstable.

"Establish a relay."

Chen Jian gave the order again.

"Drone No. 2, begin entry."

"clear."

Ji Xing quickly took off the drone, which then traveled smoothly without hindrance.

After passing the first drone, the two drones established a signal relay, and the second drone continued to penetrate deeper into the interior.

As the 3D model gradually became more complete and clear, Chen Jian realized that it was a tunnel spiraling downwards.

He didn't know how deep the tunnel was, and could only hope that its depth did not exceed the signal relay range.
-
Just as he had expected, after flying through two more curved turns, the No. 2 drone reached the depths of the tunnel.

Without a doubt, that was the real entrance!
The massive, heavy, and sealed isolation gate stood there, silently guarding the city's deepest secrets.

Chen Jian took over control of the drone, maneuvering it around the tunnel's viewing chamber.

As the 3D model gradually took shape, Chen Jian could clearly see large pools of blood on the floor of the cave through the drone's perspective!
"A fierce battle took place here."

Chen Jian said in a deep voice:

"There was blood splattered everywhere from the impact, and there were bullet holes on the walls."

"There was a gunfight here."

"That's weird."

"Lin Yu's squad is supposed to be not good at using firearms, so how did such an intense gunfight occur?"

"Even if a gunfight broke out, it couldn't possibly be this intense within such a confined space."

"They can't outrun a bullet, no matter how fast they are. If the battle took place in this cave, it should have ended very quickly."

But this isn't the place.

"There were over a hundred bullet holes, and the firefight lasted a long time."

"What exactly happened here?"

Chen Jian's voice gradually lowered, and at this moment, Ji Xing's expression suddenly changed.

"side!"

Chen Jian subconsciously turned the drone to look to the side.

In an instant, a dark shadow flashed by.

The next second, the signal was lost!

"Someone!"

"Retreat fifty meters to re-establish firing positions and prepare to engage the enemy!"

"Drone #1, retreat!"

"That thing moves very fast!"

"Take as many pictures of him as possible!"

"understand!"

The four of them suddenly stood up and ran back as fast as they could.

At that moment, the figure that had destroyed the drone made loud footsteps in the tunnel, constantly approaching the direction of the first drone.

Their speed is even faster than that of a drone!
Chen Jian's heart began to pound violently. When Drone No. 1 was finally caught up, he finally saw the shape of the dark shadow.

are people.

A person wearing a fully enclosed helmet and flexible armor!
more than one!
At least ten or more!
They were holding weapons whose functions Chen Jian couldn't identify, and they were about to cross the last bend.

That's too late.

Chen Jian decisively gave the order:

"Suppressive fire with heavy machine guns!"

"Thermobaric rockets! Send me two!"
