Chapter 369: Mistakenly Entering the Alien Lair
“Assemble!”
With Jiang Ziyue’s command, everyone dropped what they were doing and lined up neatly.
“Everyone, good news for our Branch 8. We will be selecting a hundred-person reconnaissance squad to conduct reconnaissance around Huzhou. Those who bring back useful intelligence will be heavily rewarded.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s face was filled with excitement. A heavy reward just for reconnaissance? This is a good job.
Jin Jie immediately shouted, “Report! I volunteer!”
Geng Yong, however, was confused. Can’t they just use drones for reconnaissance? Why do they still need people to go? It’s illogical.
“Report! I volunteer too!”
The crowd rushed to get a spot, looking exceptionally proactive.
However, Jiang Ziyue added, “Because there is strong interference around Huzhou, you will lose contact with the command post when you enter the range. Even your previous communications will fail. You can only use equipment to record the specific situation and bring it back. If you find the jamming device, you must destroy it!”
The New Humans, who had just been proactive, were stunned for a moment. This Huzhou actually had a jammer. Was it that powerful?
“The people whose names I read will participate in this reconnaissance mission.”
Jiang Ziyue took out the previous assessment report and selected those who had excelled in the reconnaissance assessment.
“Jin Jie!”
“Here!”
Jin Jie excitedly stepped out of the ranks.
“Geng Yong!”
“Here!”
Geng Yong looked preoccupied. But in his heart, he also wanted to get a reward from this mission, to improve his own strength. At least he had to reach A-class.
One by one, the New Humans whose names were called stepped out.
“You one hundred people will be divided into ten squads and enter the Huzhou area from various directions. You can now discuss your plans. You will set out after dark. Dismissed!”
The New Humans whose names were not called sighed helplessly. They had gotten all the good stuff.
“Let’s go, let’s go. We’ll inventory our preparations. I’ll go get some night vision goggles,” Jin Jie said nonchalantly.
Geng Yong forced a smile. “Alright.”
“Don’t worry. If there’s any danger, you can hide behind me.”
“Go to hell.”
“I’m serious. Anyway, I’m a lone wolf, a bachelor. You still have someone waiting for you to come back.” Jin Jie sighed, looking up at the gloomy sky.
“Stop being so deep. We’ll all live just fine.”
“Of course. I’m still planning to become the company’s model procreator. I’m going to get ready.”
With that, Jin Jie ran off with a grin. Geng Yong smiled and shook his head.
Only S-class New Humans were qualified to reproduce.
He took out his internal communicator. Shu Jia had sent a concerned message.
A real man shouldn’t make his woman worry. So he only replied with one, “Everything is fine.”
As night fell, the ten squads set out. They were still a hundred kilometers from Huzhou.
After fifty kilometers, the ten vehicles dispersed, each heading to its designated position.
“I heard there’s still no news from the first batch of reconnaissance personnel.”
In the carriage, someone said in a low voice.
As the temporary squad leader, Jin Jie frowned. “Don’t talk about things unrelated to the mission.”
But hearing this, everyone’s heart pounded. Could there be any danger? Or had they been ambushed?
As the truck stopped, the ten of them jumped off one after another. According to the plan, the truck would wait here, but only for five hours, which was until four in the morning.
“Synchronize your time,” Jin Jie said in a low voice. They had all been trained and were very disciplined.
“Let’s go!”
They were still three or four kilometers from Huzhou. They had to walk over. They naturally chose the rugged mountain road.
In the command post, Hou Yue could still see the images transmitted from the New Humans’ helmet cameras. His face looked very serious. But gradually, the images became blurry. Soon, all the monitors lost their signals.
“I hope this group of young men can bring back some useful news.”
Hou Yue let out a breath. They had to take down Huzhou tomorrow night. Otherwise, he couldn’t explain it to the board of directors.
In the forest, Geng Yong had already discovered that his positioning had failed. It seemed they had already entered the Huzhou area.
“Squad leader, there’s a discovery ahead!” a young man came to Jin Jie’s side and said softly.
“Let’s go and see.”
Below the hillside on the right, the crowd found a crashed helicopter. It looked like it had crashed not long ago.
“It seems this interference can even affect the helicopter’s instruments. What kind of jammer is it?” Geng Yong couldn’t figure it out. The company didn’t even have this kind of technology.
Jin Jie cautiously came to the side of the helicopter and saw the two pilots. They were already dead.
“Why is there a hole in their chest?” a New Human beside him said in surprise.
Just as a team member was about to turn on a light, Geng Yong hurriedly stopped him. “Don’t turn on the light!”
“Although I don’t know if it’s useful, put their bodies on the way back and bring them back.”
Jin Jie, who had temporarily become the squad leader, dropped his usual playful attitude and looked unusually serious.
The crowd once again headed toward Huzhou. Standing on the mountaintop, they could even see the light emanating from Huzhou, dispelling the darkness.
Perhaps it had been a long time since they had seen such a scene. Everyone was a little confused. It felt a little like a mirage.
“Squad leader, there are many cars parked on the road beside us.”
Jin Jie and Geng Yong lay on the snow, took out their binoculars, and looked at the main road a few hundred meters away. Even the streetlights were on. Sure enough, many cars were parked there.
“Raiders.”
Geng Yong discovered the spray paint on the vehicles and said in a low voice.
“It seems Huzhou has been robbed once by these bandits,” Jin Jie murmured.
But Geng Yong shook his head. “If they had robbed it, why would they leave the cars here?”
The corner of Jin Jie’s mouth twitched. He whispered in Geng Yong’s ear, “Give me some face. At least I’m the temporary squad leader.”
“Don’t worry, no one heard.” Geng Yong chuckled.
The little joke made the two of them not so nervous.
“It seems it’s not that dangerous. Continue forward,” Jin Jie said with a mischievous smile.
“It’s better to be careful,” Geng Yong reminded.
They had just arrived at the outskirts of Huzhou and had already found some intelligence. This was a happy thing for the entire squad. There would definitely be a bigger harvest later.
“Squad leader, there’s a gun here!”
Jin Jie and Geng Yong quickly went to check. There was indeed an automatic rifle on the snow. Jin Jie squatted down, touched it with his gloved hand, and pulled up a long string of slime.
“What is this?” someone beside him asked with confusion.
Geng Yong felt this thing was like saliva.
“Squad leader, could it be that the first batch of people met with misfortune?” a girl beside him said with concern. To even leave a gun here, the person was probably in a bad situation.
Jin Jie and Geng Yong also had this thought. If something had really happened, they had to find out what.
“Proceed with caution!” Jin Jie commanded in a low voice.
However, just as they had taken a few steps, they saw a corpse.
“Squad leader, his chest is just like the pilot’s, with a hole in it!”
One could even see his terror before he died, which was chilling.
Seeing this strange scene continuously, everyone’s heart was immediately lifted.
“Squad leader, there are many eggs over here!”
Eggs…
