A small drone flew over the city of Palmyra with a slight hum. It is less than 100 meters above the ground, and the speed is not fast, but the high-definition camera on the fuselage is keenly capturing the clues of the ground.
Behind the sand dunes one kilometer away, Lieutenant Sheldon from the "Seal Team Six" was holding a military pad in his hand, and was staring indifferently at the surveillance images sent back by the drone.
Around Sheldon, is a platoon of players. The platoon of the seals is very small, only six people, but all the members are officers, and the combat quality is naturally world-class.
The fighting in the city is in full swing, and various forces in Syria are entangled endlessly. It's just that apart from the bravery at the beginning of the attack, the fighting enthusiasm of the armed personnel on the battlefield is fading rapidly. To put it bluntly, it is lack of tenacity.
There are still many civilians in the city. The sudden war left them nowhere to hide, so they could only stay at home obediently. Maybe they can survive until the end of the battle, maybe it's just one shell that kills the whole family.
Lieutenant Sheldon has seen a lot of life and death on the battlefield, and his mission now is to find a super villain who may be staying in Palmyra and stop his actions against the United States.
Due to the small size of the urban area, the drone has been patrolling back and forth two or three times. All videos are not only reviewed by Lieutenant Shelton, there is even a communication satellite dedicated to providing a high-bandwidth forwarding channel, so that all videos can be transmitted back to the operational command in Turkey.
The battle has lasted for about three hours. The Syrians on the battlefield are already exhausted, and there are only sporadic gunshots left in the city. But Lieutenant Sheldon was still on high alert, ready to launch a surprise attack.
"Vulture 1, we found something unusual in the area of 21 when reviewing the video." The voice of the rear intelligence analyst came through the radio, "Let the drone fly over to confirm."
CIA analysts have divided Palmyra into hundreds of square areas. The so-called anomaly is a string of messy footprints on the ground, which is nothing strange on the battlefield. But analysts staying at the Turkish military base zoomed in on the footprints and analyzed them with computers.
"I think I've got this guy," cheered an analyst at the base's cia command. He moved his discovery to the big screen in the headquarters, pointed to a series of footprints on it and shouted: "This footprint is different from any trace left by military boots."
As the commander of the operation, Fidel is also staring at the information given on the big screen. He can see something strange without the analyst saying much. At present, most of the people in Palmyra are normal people weighing 50 to 80 kilograms, and they can be analyzed based on the footprints found by drones...
The target weight is between 150 and 180 kg.
"This is about the weight of an 80-kilogram person plus a set of powerful mechanical skeletons and weapons and equipment." The analyst shouted excitedly. This weight excludes normal soldiers, and also excludes armored soldiers over 300 kilograms. It is easy to judge who will leave such a footprint.
Damn bastard, finally caught you!
Fidel cursed secretly in his heart, and immediately ordered: "All combatants get ready, let us follow the footprints to see where he is?"
Sheldon on the battlefield received the order and immediately operated the drone to lower the altitude, and the camera ran forward along the footprints. At the same time, his team set up a 60mm mortar and was ready to fire a few rounds at any time.
"Let'Reaper' lower its height and get closer to the target area. There may be only one chance to attack." Fidel was staring at the big screen in the command center, and an operator of the 'Reaper' drone controlled the joystick at hand. , ready to launch the 'Hellfire' missile.
The drone in the city lowered to a height of more than ten meters, and advanced along a street that was bombarded by artillery fire. Fidel, who was watching intently, soon found a pair of small barefoot marks beside the heavy footprints on the ground . He said strangely: "This guy still has a child?"
And in the dilapidated streets of Palmyra, the barefoot 'little poor' heard a buzzing sound behind him. She looked back and saw a small plane approaching.
Although he didn't quite understand what was going on, "Little Poor" still yelled vigilantly in front of him, "Hey, big man, there's a plane here."
Fidel's heart tightened when he saw the child's mouth shape and yelling. He immediately shouted: "Who is nearby, find him."
Sheldon's men immediately adjusted the mortars at hand, and soon a few rounds flew towards the area with preset coordinates.
With the help of the drone's camera, Fidel and others in the headquarters also saw a strange scene. There was a flash of light and shadow more than ten meters in front of the little girl, and a humanoid body was making a sudden turning back.
The pickup on Zhou Qingfeng's helmet is directional, and can selectively detect sounds from a certain direction. He will always be paying attention to the front of him, and he needs to be reminded by the 'poor' about the movement behind him.
But when Zhou Qingfeng moved suddenly, the invisibility effect was greatly reduced. When he saw that the drone was more than 20 meters away, he immediately opened fire on it.
The last image sent back by the drone was an AK-type rifle spouting muzzle flames. When the image on the big screen in front of Fidel was interrupted, he immediately ordered: "Has Reaper locked on the target? Display the image on the big screen superior."
The image on the big screen changed into a not-so-clear high-altitude top view. The image is still the dilapidated streets of Palmyra, and you can even see the drone that just dropped. Feeling that he was only one step away from success, Fidel immediately yelled, "Where is he?"
At this moment, several shells just fired from the mortar arrived in this area. They are not lethal high-explosive bombs, but extremely bright flares. When they suddenly appear in the daytime, the sun seems to be darkened, and the whole ground is enveloped in their light.
By analyzing the existing optical camouflage images, CIA's intelligence personnel determined that this terrible and weird stealth equipment is very sensitive to the environment and light. If the light in its environment changes suddenly, its invisibility effect will be greatly reduced.
This guess is right!
Instead of using a mortar to fire a few ordinary shells where the target is unknown, it is better to use it to change the light in the area where the target is located. When the flare suddenly came on, the real objects on the ground did not change, but Zhou Qingfeng, who was hidden in it, was exposed.
When he saw the figure with the skull mask appear, Fidel shouted happily: "Lock, kill him!"
The real killing mission was the 'Reaper' drone cruising at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters. The CIA personnel who controlled it thousands of kilometers away locked on the exposed Zhou Qingfeng with a photoelectric pod.
A Hellfire missile fell from its pylon, followed by another. The rocket engine spouts hot flames to accelerate the projectile to Mach 1, and it can hit the target in more than ten seconds.
During these more than ten seconds, the special flares in the air have been irradiating the ground in a low-frequency flashing manner, ensuring that Zhou Qingfeng's optical camouflage cannot be hidden again, and also ensuring that the seeker of the "Hellfire" is firmly locked on Zhou Qingfeng.
At this moment, Zhou Qingfeng seemed to be unconscious, still blinded by flares, and kept standing still—a Mach 1 missile was firing at extreme speed.
Life and death are in an instant!
