One Thousand and Fifty Four: Deep Into the Enemy's Nest
A large number of mechanical spiders entered Channel 7, and soon discovered that there were some branches in the depths of Channel 7 that led to unknown directions.
Ye Han really wanted to check all these passages, but the mechanical spider was a bit insufficient.
So he led his team into Channel 7, rescued the drones acting as relays in the temporary channel, and devoted himself to the great cause of surveying Channel 7.
Coincidentally, as soon as the troops here entered Channel 7, Ouyang Ping exploded Channel 5 over there. The communication between the two sides was blocked by the complex terrain. They moved forward and backward, and the two sides were staggered and failed to contact each other.
There are seven branching roads deep in the No. 7 passage, which are marked as minus one to minus seven. Dozens of mechanical spiders scatter into the seven passages, with an average of more than a dozen in each passage.
Later, Ye Han discovered that these negative-numbered passages were truly intricate. There were more forked roads on each of them. Some of these forked roads had nothing to do with each other, and some were interconnected and criss-crossed, forming a dense three-dimensional tunnel like a spider web. System, if all the data sent back by the mechanical spider were not stored in the biochip, the maze structure of forks within forks would be able to trap everyone in it, making it impossible for them to get out.
The strange thing is that there are no aliens in the maze at all. Ye Han couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that all the aliens ran into passage 5, leaving the depths of the passage empty of troops?
Luo Qi suddenly said: "Commander, look, Negative Four has discovered the enemy!"
Ye Han immediately received the video transferred from Luo Qi and found that the mechanical spider entered a hemispherical cave hall.
The cave hall is about thirty meters high and no less than forty meters in diameter. As far as the eye can see, both the walls and the ground are very rough. It does not look like a manual excavation, but more like a naturally formed cave.
Ganymede does not have the conditions to form a cave, and this cave hall is just an ordinary underground cavity.
Through the lens of the mechanical spider, we can see that there are thirty or forty aliens in the cave. They have crossed the cave hall and entered a dark passage on the other side of the cave hall.
The alien's actions immediately caught Ye Han's attention.
All the aliens in Channel 7 and Channel 5 were dead. It was supposed that the enemy should concentrate their forces to deal with the airborne division at this time, but this group of aliens went in the opposite direction.
Although this place is far away from the shaft, and the situation in the two passages may not be known, shouldn't we mobilize troops to focus on containment at this time?
"Let the spider follow!" Ye Han gave an order,
Since this passage is marked as minus eight on the map.
The mechanical spider immediately took action, and the screen shook violently due to the spider's movements. It didn't get better until it chased into the negative eight channel.
At the same time, Luo Qi mobilized the mechanical spiders near the cave hall to concentrate in the direction of minus eight, focusing on exploring this area.
After entering the passage, Ye Han found that the cave wall of Minus 8 was obviously much smoother than the cave hall. It was obviously the result of artificial excavation by aliens.
The spider chased all the way along the descending passage, about seventy or eighty meters in, when a blurry shadow suddenly flashed across the shaking lens.
Ye Han suddenly shouted: "Stop, go back!"
The mechanical spider stopped immediately and took a few steps back.
"Back off again!" Ye Han said again.
The spider complied, and the fleeting shadow came into view again.
"Here, come closer!" Ye Han pointed to the position of the shadow and said.
Now Luo Qi also saw that something was wrong, and said hesitantly: "This seems to be a person!" The position where the shadow was was a little collapsed, and a human-shaped thing was half buried among the sand and stones. You couldn't see clearly at all if you weren't careful. .
"It's definitely not ours!" Luo Qi said with absolute certainty.
The third regiment is responsible for passages No. 5 and 7. The soldiers have not rushed to the negative-shaped head branch cave. How could they appear so far away?
"Maybe they are from the multinational force." Ye Han said, "They should have a force in this direction."
At this time, the mechanical spider had climbed onto the man's arm. Its slender mechanical legs swept away the dust, and a tricolor flag immediately appeared in the camera lens.
Now all the doubts have been answered. There must be a friendly army deep in this passage. Those aliens are probably rushing to encircle and suppress the multinational forces.
Ye Han took a long breath and snorted coldly: "Spider will follow immediately, and the troops will set off immediately!"
"Yes!" Luo Qi agreed, and immediately asked in a low voice, "Commander, can we rescue them so that we can evacuate?"
Ye Han laughed and scolded: "You are the only one who is smart!"
Luo Qi laughed, why didn't he understand what Ye Han meant?
The airborne division can indeed evacuate on the grounds of excessive casualties, but the situation underground cannot be seen in space. The multinational fleets can blame the airborne division for not working hard, so Beidu will be very passive.
But after rescuing a friendly force, it's different to evacuate on the grounds of excessive casualties. After rescuing a friendly force and there are so many casualties, you can't throw all the airborne divisions in knowing that continuing the rescue will be difficult, right?
Even if the multinational fleet is willing, Beidu must be willing.
The troops were about to set off. At this juncture, Ye Han suddenly received a communication from the rear: "No. 1, No. 1, please reply after receiving it!"
"Ouyang Ping? Is that you?" Ye Han immediately recognized the voice.
"It's me, it's me!" Ouyang Ping was as happy as a child, "Teacher, I have finally found you!"
"Don't be too happy, I can't go out now."
This sentence is like a basin of ice water poured on Ouyang Ping's head: "Why?"
"We have detected a friendly force."
This is good news!
Ouyang Ping quickly asked: "Which country is it from?"
"The tricolor flag, only the devil knows which country it is." Ye Han complained sharply.
He always thought those featureless tricolor flags were too weird, and always suspected that the rulers of these countries were too lazy. Otherwise, why would they use such an easily confused tricolor flag as their national flag?
In fact, he only needed to look through the data stored in the biochip to know which country the flag belonged to, but he was too lazy to move.
"Then what should we do?" Ouyang Ping asked.
"How many people did you bring?"
"Two companies."
"Call for support immediately. Call the guard camp and teaching camp. Who is in charge of the shaft now?"
"Third regiment commander."
"Let him keep an eye on the shaft and this passage. Don't let the enemy steal our retreat."
"yes!"
"Also, Ouyang, please wait for the follow-up troops. I will pass the first move route to you later..."
Ouyang Ping quickly refused: "Commander, the Dragon Regiment has no reserve troops. Except for the troops I brought, other troops have tasks and cannot withdraw for a while."
"Then you first explain the situation clearly to Lao Long, and then lead the team to follow!"
"yes!"
