Byron's Blade

The beginning of the Long March was not smooth, but at least no troops were lost, and all materials were not damaged.Except for the damage to the shells of the three Snow Eagles to varying degrees, everything can be called a blessing in misfortune.

The western border of old Ukraine, close to the border with old Hungary.There is an air force airport in the old Soviet era in the Waikarba County. Starting from the airport, take the high speed and go 140 kilometers southwest, and you will enter the border of old Hungary.The name of Carbalian comes from the eastern continuation of the Alps between old Slovakia and old Romania - the Carbalian Mountains.Of course, on the route, everyone also had to cross this mountain range.It's just because the mountain's geology is loose, it is divided into several mountain blocks, and there are many canyons that can be passed through without worrying about blocking the way.

The reason why I chose to land at this air force airport will not be repeated, but there is another point, that is, according to the satellite cloud image taken by Cancer, one of the zodiac satellites, the vicinity of this air force airport is the cleanest, basically undetectable It is most suitable as a landing point to a threatening monster lair or a high-radiation area.

The 20-minute army time is neither long nor short.Mu Xin stood at the nose of the No. [-] plane, fully armed, and the Assassin logo tied on her arm was different from others, with a red edge rolled around the edge, representing her identity as the leader.Her individual equipment is not much, a standard military backpack, two pistols/guns on the leg straps, and a medium-length waist knife at the waist, that's all.She is looking at the watch. The watch on her wrist is a high-performance tactical watch, resistant to high pressure and high temperature, waterproof, anti-collision and hard object stabbing. This watch is basically one for each Assassin, and hers is not outstanding. .

It was after one o'clock in the noon, and the lunch time had passed. I originally wanted everyone to settle their lunch on the plane, but because of such an accident, many people actually couldn't eat it.So Mu Xin put it on for 10 minutes, in order to let everyone eat something to fill their stomachs, and then they will leave this airport immediately and arrive at the first planned destination.If you can't get there before dark, you'll be in trouble.

In the distance, the drivers of the Seahawk convoy were driving out the trucks and armored vehicles from the No. 1 aircraft one after another.Then, according to the long-drilled drill, all the vehicles were driven to the position of the nose of the No. [-] machine in the order of numbering, and they were parked neatly.The driver got out of the car and stood by the driver's door.

Five senior military officers walked towards Mu Xin, looking around, they all had the rank of major on the epaulettes of their uniforms.A total of three men and two women walked up to Mu Xin, and the five saluted her as a military salute.Mu Xin was not a soldier, he just bowed slightly in return.

These five people are the five leading officers of the Sea Eagles this time, all of them are the squadron leaders of the first-class squadron of the Sea Eagles. The officer will not lead the team himself.

General Luo Jia said that one army cannot have two masters, otherwise, if there is a disagreement, the soldiers will not know whose orders to listen to.Therefore, she did not send officers above the rank of major.The five squadron leaders are all combat elites, and they all obey Mu Xin's orders.So in fact, the supreme commander of this operation is still Mu Xin.Haiying is purely here to help, not to dominate and grab credit.General Luo Jia was very far-sighted and avoided such problems in advance.

Among the five officers, one of them was very familiar to everyone in Assassin, and it was the captain of the Fifth Squadron, Chris Forssman.She brought 3 adjutants and 50 fighters under her command. The arms were mech infantry, and several pilots were among them.The other sharpshooter Robin Quinn who climbed onto the plane was actually the captain of the third squadron. He brought an adjutant and six fighters, all of whom were snipers.

Mu Xin had met all of them before, and was familiar with their appearance.Robin is of British descent, with brown hair and green eyes, and looks quite handsome.Especially those eyes, as sharp as the eyes of an eagle. It is said that his eyesight has maintained the best record in the entire Federation so far, and no one can break it, even reformed people like Mu Li and Qiu Zheng can't keep up.

The captain of the No. 32 squadron was a tall, thin man with black hair and dark eyes, and deep-featured features.He is of mixed Chinese descent, with a quarter of Kazakh ancestry. He is 2 years old and his name is Dilia.He brought 40 adjutants and [-] fighters with armored infantry and artillery.

The captain of the second squadron is another woman besides Chris. She is of medium build, slightly fat, with a round face and naturally curly hair. She looks very blessed.She is of pure Chinese descent, named Feng Xin, a technical officer, and an expert in military information technology.She has a technical team of 10 people under her command, responsible for geographic and astronomical analysis, march records, preparation and operation of information technology systems, regular liaison and reporting with the headquarters, assisting Dr. Bailey in scientific expeditions, and other work related to science and technology.

The captain of the last No. 3 Squadron was a man of medium build. His face looked like Chinese, but he was actually Korean. His name was Cui Lihe.He was the leader of the logistics squadron in the Seahawks. This time he brought 30 adjutants and [-] logistics soldiers, including convoy drivers, maintenance engineers, detection engineers, mining engineers, cooking squads, medical soldiers and other arms.

In Assassin's team, there are also corresponding categories, which are mixed with Haiying and cooperate with each other.Assassin's commanders are responsible for managing their own members, and at the same time cooperate with Haiying's chiefs to follow the orders of the commander-in-chief, Mu Xin.

Therefore, when Mu Li was carrying equipment and luggage to find his own team, his primary goal was to find his immediate boss—Lin Zhao.Although Lin Zhao's abilities are far inferior to hers, but after all, she has the oldest qualifications, so it doesn't make sense for Mu Li to replace her as soon as she arrives, which is not convincing.Mu Li is still a lone ranger so far, his experience in leading a team is relatively weak, and he is not very familiar with the members of Assassin.

Lin Zhao was standing next to Robin Quinn, the captain of the third squadron, which meant that the Assassin assassination team was assigned to the sniper team, which enriched the attack methods of the Seahawk sniper team.It can be said that with the addition of Lin Zhao and Mu Li, the No. [-] Squadron has become the cutting-edge part of the entire army, and it is the team with the strongest attack power.

Because of the injury, Qiu Zheng has been sent to the medical vehicle for treatment.But she and Zoe were assigned to Chris's fifth squadron, while Mu Li was not assigned to the fifth squadron.However, in real battles, they will not fight strictly according to such groups, and it is inevitable to cooperate with each other. Mu Li's personal combat power is too high, and it is very likely that he will become a free man on the battlefield.

Lan Ni stood beside Mu Xin and acted as the chief staff officer; Mo Kexin followed Bailey and stood in Feng Xin's team with Joan.Miss He Yingning is currently accompanying Qiu Zheng in the medical vehicle, and has not arranged any work or duties for the time being.

Everyone lined up, ready to go, and Mu Xin stood at the front, facing a huge team of 200 people, and issued a short declaration of departure:

"At this moment we can stand here completely, first of all, we would like to thank several fighters who bravely stepped forward to fight. Robin Quinn, Xia Jie (Robin's adjutant, observer, sniper), Mu Li, Qiu Zheng, And our six pilots! They helped us get rid of the entanglement of snow moths. There are still many difficulties and dangers in the future journey. I hope that each of you will be as brave and fearless as them. Can you do it? !"

"Yes!" The soldiers answered in unison, and the voice in the intercom headset was deafening.

"Okay, let me briefly talk about the rest of today's itinerary plan. Four minutes later, at 4:13, we set off on time, heading southwest, with the goal of crossing the Ukrainian border, and stationed in Little Waldau before 25 pm. Now everyone , board the car and board the cabin!"

Everyone acted quickly. Those who should get on the armored car got on the armored car, and those who should get on the bus got on the bus. Ten snowmobiles were temporarily unavailable, and they were hauled by trucks and trailers.Jill, Lilian, and Doug all boarded the mecha, and the remaining two Ares 1s were driven by two other mecha team members. Chris did not bring her own special mecha this time, so she did not go Driving the mecha, just follow the large troops to command in the rear.

In this way, all 200 people got on the vehicles, and the leading car carrying Mu Xin set off at the front, and the large group began the formal land journey.

The task on the first day of departure was not easy, with 6 hours on the plane and nearly five and a half hours on land.Although many people didn't ask, they were a little confused. Why didn't they just spend half a day here at the airport and set off again the next day, instead of rushing to Hungary in such a hurry?Regarding this issue, only a few leading officers understood it.

Although it is safe near the airport, according to the uninterrupted shooting of Cancer for more than three months, after 6 o'clock in the evening, the crustal activities of this generation will become extremely active, and small earthquakes and geothermal phenomena of magnitude 2-3 are frequent. It is within the radius of the airport radiating out to the national border.This is very unreasonable, and the specific reason has not been found out. Although there is a certain risk, due to the regularity of time, this airport is still designated as the landing point.Mu Xin set the departure time at seven o'clock in the morning, and it was all calculated.From here, drive fast and get out of the radius before dark and you should have no problem.

Mu Li was sitting on the 50-passenger bus, with Lin Zhao beside her, and Joan and Bailey in front of her.Lin Zhao was very quiet, leaning against the window to catch sleep.Mu Li also folded his arms and leaned against the back of the chair, closing his eyes.The oxygen supply in the car was airtight, and everyone took off their helmets. Many people looked tired, closed their eyes and slept lightly, and the car was very quiet.

Although this car has a load of 50 people, it is actually not a problem to carry 70 people.The roof has been remodeled, and guardrails and bunker panels have been added to allow 20 people to sit on it. The tires and engine have also been remodeled for higher performance.The seats are not fixed. In fact, this bus is a transfer system, that is to say, soldiers get on the bus and take seats in shifts.The seats in the bus are equivalent to resting positions, and the position on the roof is a warning position. In addition, soldiers in military cards and armored vehicles will also take turns to enter the bus to rest.

Mu Li heard Bailey and Joan discussing in a low voice:

Joan: "So, you mean that the so-called crustal activity near here is actually caused by the hot air ducts of the underground former Soviet Union's secret nuclear test base?"

Bailey: "Eight/nine times out of ten, I have read the old geographical survey data. This area used to be a military restricted zone, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter. It is also a border, next to Hungary, and there may be underground bases. "

Joan: "But how do you know it's a nuclear test?"

"At that time, the former Soviet Union was conducting nuclear tests everywhere, the US-Soviet Cold War, arms competition, nuclear weapons were the strongest weapons, and most of the military restricted areas in the former Soviet Union were linked to nuclear weapons. Have you heard of Chernobyl?"

Joan shook her head, bewildered.

Bailey was very talkative at the moment, smiled at Joan, and explained patiently: "In the northern part of Ukraine, on the border with Belarus, in the city of Pripyat, about 130 kilometers away from Kiev, the old capital of Ukraine, there is a Cher The Nobel Nuclear Power Plant. At that time, it was considered the safest and most reliable nuclear power plant. Later, in the 20s, there was an explosion, a nuclear leak, and a radiation outbreak. It was a level 80 nuclear accident, and the entire Chernobyl instantly became a ghost town. The influence of radiation has lasted for decades and has not disappeared. Countless deformed children were born, nearby creatures mutated, and a large number of people died of cancer. Pripyat at that time was a microcosm of the entire world now.

In my research papers, I also cited medical reports on the effects of nuclear radiation at that time many times.Among them, the deterioration effect on biological genes and proteins will play an important academic role in the later research on the evolutionary mutation of predators.I have always longed for Chernobyl and wanted to go there, but it is a pity that I came to Ukraine but not in the north, so I can't go this time. "

"What's the matter, if you want to go, I can accompany you in the future." Joan laughed.

"Are you with me?" Bailey was surprised, "There is nothing there, except nuclear radiation, why do you..."

"No, I'm just curious about everything, and what you said is so interesting, I really want to see it. My dream has always been to travel around the world and see the whole world. Yes I am very relieved that you are a great scientist." Joan laughed.

"That's really great. I haven't met someone with the same goals as me for a long time. In addition, I admire your computer skills. Maybe you can help me a lot." Bailey looked very happy.

Listening to their conversation, Mu Li couldn't help showing a smile on the corner of his mouth. Unexpectedly, these two people were quite speculative.Bailey... No, if Cousin Bailey can have someone who will accompany her for the rest of her life to make up for the sins and hardships she suffered in the first half of her life, perhaps the soul of Noye Comberly can feel at ease.
