Great Power Technology

According to Ye Zhou's fusion intelligence, several rockets at the aviation launch base carry materials that can end the entire Somersault Cloud project.

From Ye Zhou's point of view, he still doesn't know what is in the opponent's rocket, but he knows that once the rocket is launched into the sky, the integrated air and space combat strategy will completely fail.

Even if the Somerset Cloud dual-mode aerospace integrated engine is successfully developed, it will lose its usefulness.

Ye Zhou watched the replay screen frame by frame, first confirmed the direction of the attack, and then used the infinite zoom-in feature of the replay screen to find the enemy lurking on the sand dunes.

However, what he didn't expect was that the identities of these enemies were completely different from what he expected.

Judging from the individual power armor on them, they should all belong to Zalson.

Although this international mercenary team is not well-known compared to the well-known Signal Flag, Alpha and even KSSO, their strength has never been ignored.

They have been employed by various commercial organizations to perform security and armed escort duties.

And now, they seem to be targeting themselves?

Ye Zhou couldn't figure out the reason. Logically speaking, they did not receive any news about Zalson's participation in the aviation launch base project in the early stage. In such a key project, Zalson, who is not at odds with his own side, should not stab him in the back. A knife is the right thing.

On the other hand, how do they know our whereabouts?

Could it be that they had received the news before their own side launched the action?

This seemed to be the only answer, but Ye Zhou also knew that this was absolutely impossible to happen.

Their three-person team is also the elite among the elite. Some people even commented that the cost of training each qualified team member is equivalent to building a medium-sized destroyer.

Some teams are built for tactics, but they are built specifically for strategic operations.

For such a detachment, only the operations commander knows where they are going and what they need to do before taking action. If anyone can really guess their intentions, it can only be explained by magic.

To put it bluntly, if I didn’t even get the information in advance, where could I get it from Zalson?

Misunderstand?

It is possible that Zalson's team has been erratic for a long time and is more active in the high seas and unowned enclaves. The essence of the International Air Launch Center is a public enclave that does not belong to any country. There is no need to enter the scope of this enclave. Any formalities - of course, provided that you do not enter the core security area of ​​the base.

But the problem is that they have been lurking longer than our own, otherwise they would not have been able to escape multiple scans from our own aerial platform.

With such a long period of lurking, they should have enough time to confirm our identity.

Ye Zhou scratched his head and drove all the chaotic thoughts out of his mind.

It's useless to think so much. Now that we've hit each other, there are only two choices: fight or hide.

Considering our own operational goals, the best way is to hide and then use other means to push them back to ensure the smooth progress of the operation.

Ye Zhou exited the plot playback and re-entered the simulation.

[The five-stage simulation of Dragon Heart begins]

After opening his eyes, Ye Zhou immediately turned on the intercom and reported to the air command:

"Luanniao 1, please conduct an ultrasonic scan of the area one kilometer north of me to determine the enemy's location. In addition, I judge that the enemy is the Zalson team. Please try to contact the opponent's headquarters immediately to obtain the opponent's intentions!"

Hearing his words, a teammate named Wen Feng looked at him in surprise, and then asked:

"Ye Zhou, what's going on?"

Ye Zhou did not answer, but quickly turned around and turned on the laser sight, projecting the laser onto the sand dunes opposite.

He wanted to try the other party's purpose.

If the opponent really wants to kill them all, they should attack immediately as soon as they find that their position is exposed.

In the ultra-large electronic sight, Ye Zhou kept searching for the opponent's position. After 30 seconds, he finally found an abnormal bulge on the sand dune.

That should be Zalson's team's hideout.

It's really well hidden, no wonder it's been able to escape several optical and infrared scans.

He projected the laser in front of the bulge and turned it on and off at the same time, projecting a Morse signal representing the inquiry on the dune.

The signal lasted for nearly a minute. According to the experience of the first two simulations, this has exceeded the opponent's attack time.

Just as Ye Zhou's finger gradually tightened on the trigger, the same light spot suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

Short and accurate, the flash of light flashed a signal representing "safety".

What a misunderstanding?

The third team member named Ji Feng had already changed direction like him. He also saw the light spots on the ground. While the muzzle of the gun was pointing in the direction of the sand dunes, he asked:

"Brother Zhou, what's going on? Why is Zalson here too?"

Ye Zhou shook his head and replied:

"I don't know. We still need to continue to observe. Put up the shield. I'm worried that there may be a conflict later. Don't let the launch base notice any abnormalities on our side."

Generally speaking, the shielding mask Ye Zhou mentioned is a kind of invisibility cloak. It is actually a 360-degree optical concealment mask based on negative refractive materials in the visible light region. This technology will not be mature enough even in the future decades. However, when used in the field of special operations, it is enough to achieve large-area stealth at a relatively long range.

His purpose in doing this was to buy as much time as possible and ensure that after the conflict with Zalson was resolved, he could continue to complete the set tasks.

However, the moment Ji Feng nodded and unfolded the mask from his backpack, a light of fire passed through the sight from the distant sand dunes and reached Ye Zhou's eyes.

Already nervous, he immediately twisted his body. The speed disadvantage of subsonic bullets was clearly revealed at this moment. It was not until he re-aimed the gun that the bullet slowly crossed the 700-meter distance and penetrated into the ground in front of him. In the sand.

Fuck, another shot.

"Don't fight back, don't fight back!"

Ye Zhou immediately pulled out the folding bunker from behind. Monsoon's shielding cover had been erected. After unfolding the bunker, he pulled up the two team members and jumped into the shelter of the bunker.

"Fuck, Brother Zhou, what's going on? Why did Zalson hit us?"

"I don't know. Luanniao 1, we had a firefight with Zalson. Can the other party's intentions be confirmed?"

A few seconds later, Luan Bird came back with an answer.

"The identity of the other party has been confirmed, but the intention has not been reported yet. Do you need air support?"

"No air support is needed. Keep an eye on the launch base and check whether our cover is complete!"

"The shielding is complete, there is currently no infrared signal leakage, and the optical shielding is complete. Everything inside the launch base is normal, and they have not discovered you yet."

Ye Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. After the first gunshot ended, the gunfire from the dunes also stopped. He looked out through the observation window of the bunker and was shocked to find that all the Zalson troops there had been relieved. Hidden.

The team of more than a dozen people was divided into two groups, with guns pointed at each other.

Ye Zhou's heart moved and he said to Wen Feng beside him:

"Turn on the directional sonar and listen to what they're saying!"

"clear."

Wen Feng unfolded a small speaker from his shoulder, adjusted the direction, and began to listen quietly while holding his breath.

A few seconds later, the sound of distant sand dunes came over.

It was a foreign language, but Ye Zhou was surprised to find that he sounded without any obstacles.

".What are you doing? Our mission target is not them!"

"Vadim, this is our real goal! The people who pay us need us to eliminate all threats for them!"

"But they are just like us, they are just monitoring!"

"What surveillance? Do you think they are just spying?"

"I believe in the orders I received!"

Ye Zhou frowned, and the doubts in his heart were finally explained.

There's something wrong with this Zalson team.

They probably received an employment contract, lurked near the aviation launch base, and performed surveillance missions like their own team, but apparently the missions they received internally seemed inconsistent.

Within them, some people regard their three-person team as a threat.

The interception information has been transmitted to the Luanniao No. 1 command center above through the communicator. After obtaining the key information, Luanniao immediately issued instructions to the three-person team below.

"The mission is cancelled. Organize an evacuation immediately. We have initiated emergency communication. Be sure not to conflict with the other party!"

"Refuse. I advocate continuing to observe. There are still 4 hours before the scheduled mission time. If the other party can resolve the conflict on its own, we still have the possibility to continue to complete the mission."

After a pause for a few seconds, a reply came from the command center.

"Agree to continue observation."

Ye Zhou glanced at the two teammates beside him and gave the order calmly.

"Ji Feng, monitor the situation on the other side, check the gun silencer, and turn on the fire control radar. Wen Feng, continue to observe the situation at the launch center. If the other party reacts, give me an early warning immediately!"

After the two team members gave a brief reply, they immediately entered the fighting position according to Ye Zhou's request. Ye Zhou nervously observed the opponent's situation. His finger gently pushed the fire control radar button on the firearm. The butt of the gun immediately connected with the shoulder of the arm armor. The armor is automatically coupled, the fire control radar enters working status, the self-stabilizing system of the individual exoskeleton is activated, and the electronic sight internally identifies twelve figures on the sand dunes opposite.

Everything was ready. Unlike the previous unprepared conflicts, this time, Ye Zhou's three-person team completely took the initiative.

Under the high-tech stack at all costs, the Zalson team on the opposite side cannot take any advantage.

Ye Zhou and the others were not using subsonic bullets with low power.

The desert was completely silent. Apart from the sound of Zalson's quarrel coming from inside the headphones, the only sound left around the three of them was the rustle of yellow sand blown by the wind.

Suddenly, a sharp explosion sounded!
