One Thousand One Hundred and Fifty-One The Hole in the Corner

For humans, it is not that simple to dig a tunnel, but for the insects, it is easy to dig a tunnel, so the soldiers concluded that they can definitely find clues by digging three feet into the ground.

It was already midnight when Ye Han received the news. He immediately informed others of the news, and the entire investigation team rushed to the warehouse where the incident occurred.

When the investigation team arrived, many soldiers had gathered inside and outside the warehouse. They automatically separated a passage and put the investigation team into the warehouse.

The warehouse was brightly lit and there were traces of excavations everywhere. In one corner of the warehouse, a dozen soldiers stood ready, all with their guns pointed at the corner.

Ye Han said loudly: "Who is in charge here?"

"Report!" An officer stood up, "Qiao Haishan, commander of the third company of the first battalion!"

Ye Han asked: "How is the situation?"

"There are obvious traces of excavation in the corners of the wall. The soil is firmer than other places and there is extrusion at the edges. For safety reasons, we did not dig." Qiao Haishan said.

Ye Han looked at the others: "Everyone, what do you think?"

"Dig it up and take a look," the colonel said.

The American representative also said something, and the translator immediately said: "Second."

Ye Han looked back at Qiao Haishan: "Execute it."

"Yes!" Qiao Haishan agreed, but did not act immediately, looking like he was hesitating to speak.

Ye Han frowned: "What's wrong? If you have anything to say, just say it."

Qiao Haishan lowered his voice: "Commander, wouldn't it be better to explode?"

Ye Han waved his hand: "I only ask about the results, not the process."

"Yes!" Qiao Haishan turned and walked away. After a while, he drilled a hole in the corner for explosives. Then everyone retreated to a safe distance. There was an explosion and the warehouse was filled with smoke and dust. Before the smoke cleared, Ye Han's personal radar suddenly had a red dot representing danger.

He subconsciously took off his rifle, but before he could fire, the soldier in front fired first, followed by several more explosions.

The battle came and went quickly. When the smoke from the explosion dispersed slightly, Ye Han immediately got closer and saw several beaten giant insects lying in the corner.

Because it was so rotten, the corpses of several giant insects were mixed together, and it was impossible to tell how many there were.

Qiao Haishan reported in time: "Commander, it exploded and there is a hole underneath!"

Ye Han took a few steps and planned to go over to take a closer look, but was stopped by Qiao Haishan: "Sir, it's too dangerous!"

Ye Han also realized that approaching the cave rashly was not a problem, and immediately ordered: "Let go of the drone!"

"yes!"

A few seconds later, the four drones took off together, flying above the cave entrance and hovering for a while, and then slowly descended into the hole.

The hole was more than two meters deep. Because too much explosives were used for blasting, the hole looked particularly large. After the drone was lowered, it was divided into two groups to explore the situation on both sides.

The colonel walked to Ye Han and whispered: "This is troublesome, aliens must have stolen the things."

Ye Han glanced at the colonel: "Why did the aliens steal this thing? Do they know that yellow cake is a nuclear material?"

"Why else would they steal yellow biscuits?" the colonel asked, "Six thousand tons of yellow biscuits is not a small amount. They wouldn't take it back and eat it, right?"

"What the hell is going on?" Ye Han was angry and depressed at the same time.

The colonel glanced at Ye Han: "Mr. Ye, I must report the situation."

"Report it." Ye Han said, "Anyway, the blame can't be traced to me."

Aliens have occupied Malida for more than a day or two. The loss of these 6,000 tons of yellow cake is not due to anyone's malfeasance. Even if they are pursued, they cannot be traced to the Airborne Division.

The colonel left and found a corner to report the situation to the fleet. After a while, he returned to Ye Han with a sullen face.

"What did the superiors say?" Ye Han asked curiously.

The colonel sighed: "We are ordered from above to find the yellow cake as much as possible."

Ye Han immediately became anxious: "It wasn't lost today. Where can I find it?"

“It’s useless for you to tell me this, this is what the higher-ups said.

The colonel was helpless, "It's not easy at the top either. With so much uranium falling into the hands of aliens, who wouldn't be anxious?" Who dares not to be anxious? "

"Stop, stop, stop, I don't need you to tell me the truth. I just want to know how the superiors want us to find it." Ye Han suppressed his anger, "Let's put villains first and then gentlemen. Let me make it clear first. I've drilled through the worm hole. Many times, you can let me drill a hole, but I have to find something before I can get in. Don’t think about me drilling in without thinking.”

The colonel was very surprised: "The superiors said that the fleet and satellites near Australia and North did not find the alien warships leaving, and there are so many stocks. It is impossible for the aliens to steal just a few, so the superiors judged that these yellow cakes are still in Australia. , and it’s right near Marida... The higher-ups let us figure it out ourselves, saying that you are more experienced, so I’ll listen to you.”

Ye Han suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as you don't give a death order, I'm really scared. I've been tricked by the superiors so many times."

He has drilled into caves in Africa and also into Ganymede's caves. In the end, he lost all his troops. If possible, he would never want to drill underground again in his life.

The senior colonel didn't dare to challenge him at all, and he couldn't do it. He couldn't agree with Ye Han and join him in criticizing those military bosses in Beidu, right?

At this time, a group of drones suddenly encountered a giant insect. The soldiers immediately controlled the drone to avoid it, but the giant insect was not slow. Before the drone could escape, it was caught by the giant insect. The drone finally The picture transmitted back was a sharp insect leg falling from the sky.

Qiao Haishan immediately reported the situation to Ye Han: "Sir, would you like to send someone down to take a look?"

"Did you find the yellow cake?"

"No." Qiao Haishan shook his head.

"That's not necessary." Ye Han shook his head resolutely, "Continue to fly the drone, draw me a three-dimensional map first, and then clarify the underground structure."

"Yes!" Qiao Haishan went to execute the order, and several more drones flew into the cave.

The senior colonel was very worried: "Is this useful?"

"Whether it's useful or not depends on whether it's useful or not. Anyway, I can't let my brothers go down and risk their lives."

"That's not what I meant." The colonel smiled bitterly, "I mean, do you think the drone can get things back?"

Ye Han was silent for a moment: "Let's try it."

He really had no confidence at all.

After the insect swarm retreated underground, Malida has actually become two worlds, above and below the ground. The above ground belongs to humans, while the underground belongs to the insect swarm under the control of aliens.

Although there is no evidence, Ye Han is convinced that the insects are digging tunnels underground day and night, and a tunnel network extending in all directions has been formed underground in Marida.

Based on past experience, it is easy to find the entrance to a cave, but it is not that simple to break into the underground.

Think about it, if the caves were so easy to solve, how could the aliens hiding underground in Africa be free to this day?
