16 years

The methods of mercenaries are cruel, harsh and disorderly.

Their individual combat may be stronger than the regular army, but in terms of cooperation ability, they are by no means as good as those from the orthodox army like Fu Yan.

With the number of people evenly matched, Fu Yan and the others could easily gain the upper hand.

The fierce exchange of fire lasted for about 10 minutes, and both sides were damaged. The opponent probably had insufficient ammunition and quickly retreated into the building.

They fought and retreated, pulling the battle line very loosely. Fu Yan vaguely saw something, adjusted his earphones, and told He Feng to be careful.

After Feng Lei's death, there was no one to lead the first team of the army, so according to the military rank, He Feng had to leave Fu Yan's side temporarily to lead the scouts in the forward position temporarily.

"I know." He Feng said: "They want to invite you into the urn. We have used this pediatrics a hundred years ago."

Fu Yan hummed, pulled Liu Ruosong and rolled into the bunker on the spot, avoided two cold shots, and then tightened the gun holster that had been loosened just now.

"Shall we go in?" He Feng said.

"Go in." Fu Yan said: "They gave them a chance, why not go in - break them up first."

Fu Yan originally wanted to follow suit, but to his surprise, the people on the opposite side retreated faster than he had imagined.

"How did you run so fast?" He Feng wondered, "The unlucky green-eyed guy just ran away and almost fell off the railing."

The architectural style inside the Institute is similar to that of Wrangel Island, mainly metal.The upper two floors are ordinary warehouse shelves, and there is only a downward movable opening in the corner, which is used for daily entry and exit.

Because the mercenaries retreated in a hurry, the movable opening was wide open, revealing the entrance of the dark hole below, and a metal-colored vertical ladder leading to nowhere.

"If you want to invite you into the urn, you won't invite you like this?" He Tang said suspiciously: "The acting skills are too bad."

The equipment on He Feng and the others did not have an early warning, which means that there are no thermal weapons below. The army guards are guarding the periphery. Fu Yan and He Feng looked at the entrance of the cave from left to right, as if they were looking at Joe Eden’s clear words. malicious.

Fu Yan was silent for a while, then removed a gun counterweight from his body, turned his head and threw it down.

The hard metal hit something quickly, making a light ding.

"15 meters." Fu Yan said.

"Forget it." Fu Yan said, "Bring the rope here."

"Captain, are you going to go down like this?" He Feng pressed his hand and said in disapproval: "Think again."

"Thermal imaging didn't find anyone within [-] meters." Fu Yan said: "There is no thermal weapon either, which means that the probability of an ambush is not high."

"What if someone has a sniper." He Feng said.

"Under this visibility, it's not easy for a sniper to strike." Fu Yan was determined, he gently pushed He Feng's hand away, and said, "Even with the night vision device on, it's not so easy for him to hit me."

Before Fu Yan finished speaking, the building under his feet suddenly shook without warning.I don't know if it was an earthquake or something, the mountain shook for a moment, and before they could stand still, the steel floor under their feet suddenly cracked, exposing the bloody mouth below.

Liu Ruosong only felt that his feet were empty, and he fell down without any warning.

The moment he fell, a very inappropriate idea popped into his mind.

When was Joe Eden's research institute built? Liu Ruosong thought, this old-fashioned ambush method is not even used in retro movies.

His mind was confused for a moment, and before he regained his senses, he felt that someone beside him pulled his arm inexplicably, and then he fell heavily to the ground, but because someone helped him adjust his posture, he felt , so there is no problem.

Liu Ruosong looked back and found an unfamiliar face beside him.

"Are you, Team Feng's deputy?" Liu Ruosong asked.

The one who pulled him was the crying man holding Feng Lei's sleeves. After an encounter, there was no sorrow on his face anymore.He nodded and said, "You are a researcher, this is too dangerous, follow us."

"Where's Team Fu?" Liu Ruosong looked around, but suddenly found that they seemed to have dispersed inexplicably during the fall, and there were only a few strange guards around him, He Feng, He Tang and Fu Yan were all gone.

His heart tightened, and he subconsciously touched the earphones.

The next second, Fu Yan's voice came from the earphone.

"It's okay, the communication is normal." Fu Yan said: "We seem to have fallen to the floor below you, please report the location first."

Liu Ruosong subconsciously turned on the night vision device and looked around.

The cracked floorboards upstairs have been closed, leaving only a little light to seep in from the first open opening.

The situation below was different from what they had imagined before. It was not a layer-by-layer plane, but a "network" of criss-cross corridors.

The wide corridors made of steel are distributed at different heights, densely intertwined into one piece, Liu Ruosong and the others are lucky, the number of floors they land on is very high, and they are only about two floors away from the entrance above.

He squinted his eyes to identify it, and found that the escalator hanging at the entrance of the passage had broken, and it would fall in the air for a while, and finally the iron sheet couldn't bear the weight, and fell heavily. A few seconds later, there was a loud noise. ring.

Liu Ruosong's heart tightened, and he subconsciously looked down on the railing, but the corridors below were densely packed, and he couldn't find any traces of Fu Yan and He Feng for a while.

The guard beside him didn't panic, looked up and down, and said to the communication: "The height is about seven meters."

"We are about ten meters away." He Feng quickly connected to the channel.

"What about you, brother?" Liu Ruosong asked.

"I'm at 15 meters." Fu Yan said.

"Are you okay?" Liu Ruosong asked, "Are you injured?"

"No." Fu Yan said: "Let's find a way to meet up—is there anyone who is alone?"

There was a moment of silence in the communicator, He Feng reported the number of people gathered around him first, Liu Ruosong glanced back, and followed closely behind to report a number to Fu Yan.

Fu Yanji breathed a sigh of relief: "It's fine if you don't have an order. First find a way to meet up. The mission target is the central control room of the research institute. If you meet Joe Eden himself, try to catch him alive."

"Received." He Feng added: "When necessary, you can capture the prisoners and ask for a statement."

The coordinates on the communicator were turned on, Liu Ruosong adjusted the headset and the communicator, and after confirming that the signal was good, he couldn't help but glance down.

"Ruosong." Fu Yan seemed to be able to see him, and suddenly said: "Follow the people around you, don't separate."

"Understood." Liu Ruosong said in a low voice.

The current situation is still roughly within the control range, and no one is panicking for the time being. They only stayed for a while, and then each took a task and began to explore the surrounding situation.

Such a large research institute cannot be connected by just a few corridors, and there must be a power system in it. Before they find a way to connect, their first goal is these modern industrial facilities.

Liu Ruosong moved with the guards around him. They first reached the end of the corridor and found a downward and upward passage.

But after they walked down two floors, they suddenly discovered a problem—the corridors they saw above were not actually interconnected. These passages extending in all directions seemed to lead to different areas. They either went up or down all the way, Or you need to go to another strange area from the connecting door at the end of the corridor.

"It seems that we won't be able to meet up for a while." He Feng sighed and said, "It's not surprising."

"Captain Fu." Liu Ruosong's voice suddenly came from the communication: "We found the totem of the Joe Eden family on a door - there are no upper two floors, so I think this may be a clue. "

"Where is it?" Fu Yan asked.

Their coordinate sharing can only see the position of the person, but the environment here is too complicated, and even if the coordinate points overlap, there may be different heights.

Liu Ruosong didn't have many people around, Fu Yan didn't want him to take risks by himself.

"At...about 13 meters from the ceiling." Liu Ruosong said.

"13 meters?" He Tang interrupted suddenly: "It's not far, it's just above our heads."

"What?" Liu Ruosong was stunned.

"Brother Xiaoliu, take a look outside." He Tang said.

Liu Ruosong leaned over the railing and looked out, only to find that just two meters below his feet, a fluorescent light suddenly flickered.

In order to avoid being exposed, they didn't dare to turn on the lights, but even so, it was enough for him to confirm He Tang's location.

Fu Yan made a decisive decision: "You find a way to meet up first, and after confirming the number of people, you can go in after ensuring safety."

Liu Ruosong responded, and quickly untied the outdoor rope on his body and hung it on the railing.

Fu Yan paused, and was relieved until the news of the successful rendezvous came from the communication side.

The successful rendezvous of the other two groups of people is obviously good news, but what Fu Yan is concerned about is that the area here is too large, and there are echoes when speaking, and the building below seems to be bottomless, but the guards can be said to be as thin as cicadas wing.

Even if they saw only one-tenth of the mercenaries outside, it was absolutely impossible for their manpower to guard such a large research institute.

He thought for a while, temporarily cut off the communication with Liu Ruosong one-way, and connected to He Feng's channel instead.

"I was thinking, why does Joe Eden guard such a large site." Fu Yan whispered: "He is so confident, won't others discover this place?"

"To tell you the truth, Captain, I'm also thinking about this." He Feng fell a few steps behind the team, and said in a low voice while breaking: "We came here today, and we didn't have enough conditions for a long-distance trek, so we didn't make it." Be cautious and careful—if the army near them comes over, won't they level this place in minutes?"

"But there is indeed no sign of hot weapons here." He Feng continued: "There is no heavy machine gun, and there is no automatic defense system—could it be that he buried a nuclear bomb in the ground? He opened the silent radar? How cruel that is."

"If there is nothing, it means that he has other means of defense." Fu Yan said, "That would be—"

Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps coming from the empty environment.

The footsteps were messy and dense, and sounded extremely heavy - and the latest one was even right beside Fu Yan.
