Chapter 559: Total Defeat (Take a Break)
562. The entire army was wiped out
After hearing the driver's words, Jimmy's face turned pale. He knew the consequences of breaking down in this damn place, and the tragic situation of Barry before was still vivid in his mind.
Jenny and others, who had taken off their protective clothing, heard that the car had broken down, and their expressions suddenly lost their previous enthusiasm. Kevin even showed a look of despair.
"What's going on? Weren't you fine when we got off the car just now?" Jenny asked with a pale face.
"Switch to the car immediately." Jimmy didn't have time to wait for the driver to explain, and immediately asked everyone to switch to the car behind him. Before they could get out of the car, the driver shivered as he watched people in several cars running towards him.
The leader shouted: "Open the door quickly, our car won't start."
"Damn it, so are we. I order you to get back to your car immediately." Jimmy quickly opened the car window and yelled at the people who were still running.
Everyone who was originally thinking of changing cars quickly ran towards their own cars when they learned that the last car was the same as theirs. In just these 30 seconds, dense venomous snakes had surrounded three modified armored vehicles and two Humvees.
Because the Hummer was not sealed, the people inside could only run to other vehicles to escape.
"What the hell is going on?" Jimmy slammed the car door angrily and cursed.
The driver carefully checked the instruments in the car and said helplessly: "Sir, the preliminary judgment is that there is a problem with the fuel pipe and ignition circuit."
"What? How is that possible, weren't we fine when we got off the bus?" Jimmy yelled angrily with his eyes widened.
The driver said with a confused look on his face: "Yes, sir, you can see that our fuel gauge is still dropping, and the ignition is not responding at all."
Jimmy was even more puzzled when he heard this. The Predator they drove this time was a top-notch armored vehicle, and both the oil pipeline and the ignition system were strictly protected.
Even if the car hits a landmine, it can travel 80 kilometers normally. Why does it suddenly stop firing and leak oil? You must know that the mailbox of this car is made of polymer fire-resistant and heat-resistant materials. Even if the wheels are blown off, the fuel tank inside, which is protected by various armors, will not be damaged.
It's just that they don't know that MK has something called teleportation. Not to mention the oil pipe and ignition wire, or even a screw inside, MK can "steal" them if he wants.
"Contact headquarters immediately and ask for support." Jimmy said with an ugly face.
The driver shook his head and said: "Sir has already called, but there seems to be something wrong with our radio. The last message we received was from the headquarters telling us to retreat immediately."
"FK, I've had enough of this damn place." After hearing this, Jimmy frantically held the door with his feet. The others looked at Jimmy's crazy look and didn't know what to say.
In just a few minutes, the three armored vehicles were once again densely surrounded by snakes. The difference was that no one knew the snakes this time.
After calming down, Jimmy looked at the venomous snake that had climbed onto the hood and asked, "Dr. Jenny, do you know this kind of snake?"
Jenny frowned and said: "I'm sorry, Lieutenant, we have never seen this species. But they seem to be."
"What does it seem like?" Everyone wondered.
Jenny pointed to a snake with a long mouth that was attacking the glass and said: "Look, its teeth look like iron-headed irons, but its body is very similar to a snake. The strangest thing is that its head is like a cobra and its tail is like a rattlesnake. ”
"What does this mean? Is it a mutant species that was artificially cultivated?" Kevin's expression changed.
Jenny nodded and said, "Yes, these snakes are probably bred by people."
"Could it be that someone bred the snakes and then escaped and then interbred with other species?" another expert asked rhetorically.
"Absolutely impossible, it is impossible for so many different snake characteristics to appear in one snake, even if it is a natural hybrid, it is impossible for so many to appear." Jenny objected.
"But Dr. Jenny, you just saw that there was no one there." A scholar who asked a rhetorical question mocked.
"This." Jenny was also speechless. She had also seen the situation just now with her own eyes. There was no way there was anyone in that cave except for the dense snakes.
And the most important thing is that after she asked Jimmy to launch the incendiary bomb, the snakes "emerged" from the ground following the underground water flow. This was seen by everyone with their own eyes.
"Is there really something strange underground?" Jenny began to doubt her judgment.
Jimmy interrupted: "Rather than studying whether they are hybrids or natural, what we have to consider now is how to escape."
"Sir, how about we put on protective clothing and run?" the driver swallowed.
Jimmy sneered: "Run? Can you outrun the snakes in a place like this?"
Jenny also came out and explained: "On such a ground, we humans cannot outrun snakes. Not to mention there are so many of them, I'm afraid we will be entangled by them as soon as we open the car door."
"How about we use incendiary bombs? There are still a few rockets on the Humvee." The driver suggested again.
Jimmy glanced at the driver speechlessly and said: "Corporal, do you want us all to be shocked to death? There are armor-piercing bullets in them. If they shoot around us, the fragments will be enough to put us in danger."
After several suggestions were rejected, everyone fell into silence.
When the expert group was trapped, Dino and his three men drove for dozens of kilometers before stopping. This time, for the sake of safety, they directly rented a hotel with the highest security level.
"FK damn place, corporal, go count our number." Dino cursed with a sullen face. This time he finally understood Wayne's helplessness.
In just a few minutes, at least dozens of foreign legion members who didn't have time to escape were killed. Although it is called three regiments, the foreign legion is different from other places. Their one regiment has about 200 members.
Now, in just two days, the number of people who have been reimbursed is about the same as that of a regiment.
"Damn place, why did I come to this hell." Art was very upset. He suffered the most losses in this attack because it was just the time for a shift change. Most of his people went to the toilet and bathroom to wash and sleep, but now it seems that those who went in are in danger.
Compared with others, Wayne's face was even uglier. Most of the people he brought were still resting. He was scared all night last night, and he didn't expect it to happen again today.
After a while, the corporal came in with a grim face and reported: "Sir, we still have 380 people left."
"What did you say? 380 people?" Dino was so angry that he slammed the table.
The corporal said in embarrassment: "Yes, sir, there are 92 people left in the first regiment, 128 in the second regiment, and 160 in the third regiment."
After hearing the numbers read out by the corporal, Dino was so angry that he trembled. Although his third regiment had the least losses, it also lost 40 members.
The first regiment suffered the worst loss of 108 people, and the second regiment had 72 people.
"FK, damn broken place." Art was so angry that he picked up a chair and smashed it against the wall. Most of the 72 people lost by his second regiment were attacked in the bathroom and toilet. It can be said that he was unlucky.
As for Wayne of the first regiment, he was numb. Last night, he lost more than 40 people, and today he directly soared to 108 casualties, and half of the "regiment" was gone.
Unlike other places, the French Foreign Legion exists in the form of employment. Once someone dies, they need to pay compensation.
The compensation for 220 dead soldiers is not a small amount. Even if each person is 400,000, there will be 88 million left, not including some elite soldiers.
These losses cannot be measured by money.
"Damn it, go to the locals to buy some anti-snake supplies immediately, and arrange helicopters to search and rescue immediately to see if there are any survivors." After Dino vented, he conveyed his orders to the corporal.
"Yes, sir."
After the corporal left, Dino picked up the phone and reported the losses to Romi of the Ministry of Defense.
After learning that 220 "elites" had been killed, Romi was so angry that he almost vomited blood. These 220 personnel were trained by France at a high price, and now they are all reimbursed.
"Block the news first, don't let anyone know." Romi was "heartbroken" for a while and ordered Dino not to make it public. If this matter was leaked, the foreign legion would not be able to recruit people in the future.
France's "combat personnel" are very limited now. The foreign legion is their last "reliance". If such a big thing happens, most of the people who are still in training will choose to withdraw.
In the past, France could still use green cards and money to buy some people, but after comparing it with their own lives, everyone knows how to choose.
So Romi planned to suppress this matter temporarily, and after Jenny came to a conclusion, he would find a scapegoat to take it down.
After Dino hung up the phone with a bad face, Wayne and Art came to him and asked, "What did Minister Romi say?"
"Minister Romi means not to make it public first, and make plans after Dr. Jenny finds out clearly." Dino said with an extremely ugly face.
"FK, these bastards, want to find a scapegoat." Art immediately understood Romi's intention. He didn't make a fuss in advance and waited until things were almost done, and then found someone to take the blame.
Wayne's face turned pale instantly. If they were looking for a scapegoat, he would be the best example. First of all, everything was caused by the "mistake" of the first regiment. Secondly, the losses of the second and third regiments were heavy, and it is estimated that he would fall on his head at that time.
Although Dino and Art knew that the "scapegoat" would most likely be Wayne, their responsibilities were probably not small.
After all, the number of casualties this time was as high as 220, a full "regiment". Thinking of this, the two of them felt very unhappy. The place was selected by the experts found by the parliament, and they were just responsible for the stationing.
To put it bluntly, it had nothing to do with them, but those people in the parliament probably wouldn't consider so much. After all, they were just looking for an explanation.
"FK, these damn vampires, they found the place and provided the equipment, why should we take the blame now that something has happened?" Art cursed.
Dino also looked very unhappy. Although he was a confidant of Minister Romi, Romi must be having a headache now because of such a big incident. If he wants to protect himself, Dino will be a pawn that can be abandoned at any time.
"Any news from Dr. Jenny?" The three of them were silent for a moment, and Wayne suddenly raised his head and asked.
Dino shook his head and sighed, "When we retreated, I had someone send them a radio, but we couldn't get in touch with them afterwards. Now the liaison officer is still calling."
"Should we send someone over?" Art asked.
Dino sneered, "Send someone over? Go out and ask who dares to run around now? Besides, our Hummers can't defend against the snakes at all. The modified vehicles have all been driven out."
"FK, this damn place." Art could only curse a few words after hearing this. Given the current situation, asking people outside to rescue people? That would really cost them their lives.
"I'll take a team to check the situation by helicopter." Wayne suggested.
Dino nodded and reminded, "Remember to maintain altitude. If you find a target, remember not to let the snakes surround them."
"I know." Wayne nodded, walked out the door and called his trusted men to walk towards the helicopter.
After Wayne and his companions boarded the helicopter, they began to chase after Jenny and her companions. Ten minutes later, the scene in front of them made Wayne's scalp numb.
It was the same scene, except that the trapped people were replaced by Jenny and her companions.
"Why are there so many snakes in this damn place of FK?" Wayne's subordinates looked at the cars surrounded by snakes below, and their scalps numbed.
"Start the thermal imaging, and find the source quickly before the weather gets too hot." Wayne frowned and ordered.
"Yes, sir."
As the thermal imager was turned on, the screen was full of green dots, and the dark color on the side of several large pits was particularly dazzling.
"Bathroom? Toilet?" Looking at the dark area, Wayne recognized at a glance that it was the location of the toilet and bathroom of the first regiment before.
"Captain, there is a water source over there and many snakes are coming out of there." The subordinates reported.
Wayne suppressed his anger and cursed: "It seems that this is the source of all the evil, launch two rockets."
"Captain Wayne, Dr. Jenny is still over there?" the driver reminded.
"I asked you to launch, didn't you hear me?" Wayne shouted louder.
"Yes, yes." The driver looked at the black object on his head and pressed the launch button very sensibly.
"Two rockets, launch."
"Swoosh" sounded, Wayne showed a look of relief, he could only give an answer to his dead brother in this way.
"Ding ding ding" As the air wave rose, the alarm sounded in the helicopter cabin.
"No, we are affected by the air flow, MD, MD, MD, Sidewinder One is going to fall, Sidewinder One is falling, Sidewinder One..." The driver's cry for help just reached Dino and Art, and before they picked up the intercom, it was "beep beep beep".
"Damn it." Jimmy cursed as he looked at the helicopter that fell from the sky.
As everyone cursed, the helicopter fell among them. In an instant, the glass of all the armored vehicles shattered silently. Soon, the three modified Predators were full of venomous snakes.
This "live broadcast" officially ended.
