Chapter 1707: Wilderness

In the logistics and transportation system that Logan is responsible for maintaining, a convoy is heading from Fort Collins, Colorado to Salt Lake City. The convoy consisted of more than a dozen large trucks, and they were rushing westward on Interstate 80, surrounded by stretches of wilderness.

The hinterland of the United States is often an endless flat terrain, with highways extending in all directions, and the feeling of driving at speed is indeed refreshing. This convoy carries the goods purchased by the Aurora Legion from Fort Collins, and will be transported to Salt Lake City for transshipment to Seattle for loading.

More than a dozen trucks were separated by a distance of more than one kilometer, and the leader was a light armored vehicle with a 20mm cannon that was enough to make ordinary Xiaoxiao daunting. Inside the armored vehicle, Wen Tianyu, who was fully armed, felt hot and irritable, but there was nothing he could do.

As a Chinese who followed Zhou Qingfeng from Africa to Cuba, Wen Tianyu has been unknown in the Aurora Legion. Unlike Liu Meng who soared into the sky and became the commander of the missile brigade when he arrived in the army, he was in charge of recruit training as a veteran.

Wen Tianyu was transferred from his post of military training only after waiting for the flower planting land in the last days to transfer a large number of people to Mexico to support Zhou Qingfeng. He wanted to continue to go out with Zhou Qingfeng, but in the end he was assigned to work as an armed escort in North America.

"This is a fucking job. It's boring and uninteresting, and it's extremely uncomfortable." Wen Tianyu's English is good, and he brought a group of escorts with mixed races, including whites, blacks and Latin Americans. The law and order in North America is not very good. His task is to safely transport all kinds of goods needed by the Legion.

The space in the armored vehicle is limited, and the escort members are crowded together and covered with sweat and sweat. Some people can't stand it and simply take off their body armor to make it easier. Wen Tianyu also wanted to take it off, but he was the captain after all, so it's not good to be too loose.

"Put on the body armor." Wen Tianyu ordered, "We may be in danger at any time."

The person who took off the bulletproof vest was a white man, and he was usually careless and a little disobedient, especially after arriving in the United States, he felt more at ease when he returned home. He was too lazy to listen to Tianyu's order, and asked instead: "Wen, why did you transport those electronic waste away? Do you need those things?"

A dozen or so trucks were loaded with a damaged supercomputing part, and I don't know where it was obtained. It looked tattered and worthless, but the Legion still bought it at a high price.

This matter seems very stupid to many Americans, but Wen Tianyu knows that this is a plan made by his boss and will not leave any high-tech products, even wreckage.

Because science and technology needs to be passed on, without inheritance, at least there must be a reference, and now the 'inheritance' and 'reference' are all removed.

Wen Tianyu didn't explain, and ordered again: "It's 'we' who need it. I'll say it again, put on your body armor,

This will save your life. "

The white man laughed out loud, wanting to say that Wen Tianyu was making too much of a fuss. But before his laughter ended, the armored vehicle suddenly shook violently, and Wen Tianyu felt his body soar into the air, flying and hitting the roof of the vehicle.

The seat belt on the seat pulled Wen Tianyu's body, but the violent impact still made him rock back and forth like a boat in a stormy sea. The pulled seat belt caused severe pain in his chest, his internal organs were oppressed, and his shortness of breath made him pass out.

Outside the armored vehicle, a roadside bomb exploded. The air wave lifted the ten-ton car body, causing it to fly up, fall, and roll like a toy, leaving traces of more than 20 meters on the ground, which were then wrapped in smoke and dust.

The explosion happened, and the convoy trucks in the back suddenly panicked. More than a dozen truck drivers either twisted their steering wheels to avoid it, or braked to stop, or turned around and ran. The violent movement of the car body often leads to imbalance, and some trucks overturned and rolled on the ground.

In the boundless wind and sand, the entire convoy suddenly became a mess.

A few minutes after the explosion, Wen Tianyu felt someone pour water on his face. When he opened his eyes, he saw that a black man was giving him first aid. He himself had been removed from the armored vehicle and lay on the sand.

"How many people are still alive?" No need to think about it, this is an attack. As soon as Wen Tianyu spoke, he felt a pain in his chest, and his mouth smelled bloody. He should have suffered chest and abdomen injuries and vomited blood.

"The driver's neck was broken during the rollover, the vice-captain's head was smashed, and the others had different injuries. Boss, you were the most injured, and your ribs should be broken. We are worried that moving you will cause more damage, I can only let you lie flat." The black subordinate said.

The scene after the explosion was very quiet, only the sound of wind in the wilderness. The enemy does not know where it is, and the danger has not gone away. Wen Tianyu knew that if his ribs were broken, he could not move casually, otherwise he would have to wait for death when the broken ribs were inserted into the chest cavity.

"Report to the data center and ask for support." Wen Tianyu said.

"The message has been sent," said the black man.

"Go find other survivors and gather the team members together." Wen Tianyu ordered again.

"I've sent someone to go." The black man nodded again.

Being so lucid after being bombed made Wen Tianyu look at himself, a black subordinate, with admiration. He finally said, "Give me a shot, I don't want to die yet. What's your name?"

"Durant."

"Durant, you performed very well, you will take over from me to command."

The treatment for Wen Tianyu's fracture didn't have much effect, but at least it relieved his internal bleeding. He still could only lie on the ground, watching the black command team under him stand by and wait for help.

The white subordinate who took off the body armor will also be relieved now. He seems not to accept an order from a black man, so he stood up and argued for a few words. A bullet shot from a distance with a whoosh, directly hit him in the chest and killed him on the spot.

The body fell, and everyone in the convoy immediately held their heads in search of cover. Wen Tianyu listened to the time when the gunshots came, and silently calculated the distance of the enemy shooter. He looked at the bleeding chest of the white subordinate again, and cursed silently: "The bullets flew from at least five hundred meters away, maybe you can still live wearing a body armor."

Obviously, the ambush enemy has snipers. The rest of the convoy could only hide behind trucks and armored vehicles one after another, occasionally taking a look and not daring to stay for too long.

So passive....

However, although Wen Tianyu was caught off guard by the bombing, the black man was quite smart, and used the walkie-talkie to contact the entire convoy to form defensive firepower, and resisted multiple attacks from inexplicable enemies.

In the wilderness, there are many figures hundreds of meters away, and occasionally a few enemies can be seen running back and forth. It's just that the opponent didn't have any other offensive tactics other than planting roadside bombs, and he didn't fight resolutely. After several firefights, the opponent gave up first.

Two hours later, several CV-22 tilt-wing aircraft from Salt Lake City arrived at the scene of the accident and picked up the rest of the convoy and the dead bodies.

Now the whole wilderness is really only the sound of the wind, and a few guys with binoculars appeared behind a hill in the distance, and one of them cursed loudly: "Tony Parker, this is what you said could make us make a fortune." Legion convoys? What they transport is a pile of junk."

The 'little gangster' Tony Parker also observed with binoculars from behind the hill. After making sure that all the team members had withdrawn, he personally rode an off-road motorcycle to the side of an overturned truck, covered in dust.

A container pulled by a truck fell to the ground and fell apart, exposing its contents. Tony Parker tore off the iron sheet of the container, rummaged through a pile of electronic devices that looked useless inside, and frowned, "Damn Victor Hugo, what is he doing collecting these rubbish?"
