One Thousand Seven Hundred and Eighty, 4 Links and 8 Times

After the order was issued, several people immediately split up to prepare... Actually, there was nothing to prepare. Qi Jingwen had already made arrangements, so just go step by step and everything would be as usual.

Tao Chengyu was also very simple. He just explained the current situation to everyone and the necessity of taking away the alien captives in advance.

The special service team here is also very simple. The aliens have been closely supervised by the soldiers. Ye Han's job is to arrange one in detail, and two soldiers are responsible for one alien...

There were a total of sixteen people in the two combat groups, but there were nine alien prisoners. As soon as Ye Han arranged the task, he found that there were not enough people.

But it doesn't matter, it's just that the special service team doesn't have enough people. Qi Jingwen has plenty of people there. If it doesn't work, you can still call in a few insect men.

Ye Han was just trying to figure out which side would be most suitable to draw people from when he suddenly received a notification from Luo Qi: "Captain, the bugs are coming!"

"I'll be there soon!" Ye Han immediately rushed to the entrance of the cave, and heard intermittent gunshots from a distance... The space at the entrance of the cave was limited, and there were only four soldiers arranged in total, but each of them controlled a three-barreled machine gun. The intensive firepower created a death zone at the entrance of the cave. No matter how many insects rushed up, they could not withstand the machine gun fire.

Moreover, the sound of the machine gun was inconsistent. It was obvious that there were not many insects rushing up.

Ye Han took a brief look and saw that the swarm of insects that rushed up were very cautious and spaced far apart. It looked like a skirmish line. However, the swarm always relied on quantity and density to win. After giving up its inherent advantage, the swarm's The charge was almost a joke. Under the blockade of four machine guns, countless giant insects fell on the way to the charge. No giant insect could get close to the hole.

After sacrificing the lives of a group of bugs, the enemy also realized this problem and temporarily stopped attacking, but the attack only stopped for a short while before restarting.

This time it was no longer a frontal attack, but a charge from three directions at the same time, attracting the defenders' firepower from the front. The insect swarms on the left and right wings avoided the defenders' firepower and quickly climbed up the hillside.

The slope of the mountain where the enemy's nest is located is very steep. The smallest angle is not less than 60 degrees, and the steeper places are even more than 80 degrees. If it were a human being, it would be difficult to charge on such a large slope.

But it's different when it comes to bugs. They are naturally good at climbing, and their climbing speed is only slightly slower than on flat ground.

After a while, two groups of giant insects crawled to the top of the cave entrance from the left and right sides respectively. It seemed that they planned to attack the cave entrance from above.

Due to the angle, the two wings cannot be seen at the entrance of the hole, and naturally the insect swarm cannot be seen reaching the top of the hole.

But the satellites in the sky kept watching, immediately notifying the special team of any changes in the insect swarm.

Without saying a word, Ye Han immediately ordered the troops to retreat and moved back the defense line originally deployed at the entrance of the cave seven meters.

It wasn't that he didn't want to retreat anymore, but he walked in from the entrance of the cave, and there was a corner after seven meters.

The soldiers who received the order ran back dragging the boxes. When they arrived, they immediately stacked the boxes. In the blink of an eye, they set up the defense line and set up machine guns to wait for the insects to arrive.

The current battle is not technically difficult at all, but Ye Han always feels that the purpose of the insect swarm is not that simple... Nine aliens have fallen into the hands of humans. He wants to know who is commanding the insect swarm behind the scenes now. If...well, if an alien were brought out to threaten the swarm...

As soon as this idea came up, he could no longer contain it. Ye Han immediately handed over the command to Luo Qi. He turned around and rushed into the cave, found Tao Chengyu and explained his problem.

Tao Chengyu hesitated for a long time under Ye Han's expectant eyes. Ye Han's enthusiasm gradually cooled down: "What? You don't know either?"

Tao Chengyu smiled bitterly: "Chief, no one has ever captured aliens before. I really can't explain this clearly. I can only say that if an insect man is commanding the insect swarm, it must be a trap. If it is an alien command, That’s hard to say!”

Ye Han frowned: "How many aliens are there in this place?"

"I don't know either." Tao Chengyu said, "The aliens have been hiding in the core area. We people are not qualified to get close. If the base hadn't been flooded, I wouldn't have known there were so many aliens here."

Ye Han suddenly asked: "Is there an escape passage down there, where the exit is very far away?"

Since the alien lair is set underground, it must be a network of tunnels extending in all directions. The aliens must leave themselves one... no, at least they should leave several escape routes!

"This..." Tao Chengyu hesitated again, "I have been raising bugs in the core area, and I really don't know about this!"

Ye Han turned his eyes to the others: "What about you? Do you know anything?"

"I know!" A bug man raised his arm, "Chief, there is a hole to the east, which is used by the enemy to mobilize troops. I don't know where it leads, but judging from the location, it should lead to the outside of the base."

"There's also one in the north, but it's usually blocked up so no one knows about it!"

"There are also those in the west..."

You wouldn't know if you didn't ask, but you would be shocked if you asked. In the blink of an eye, Ye Han knew seven or eight tunnels leading to the outside, no matter which direction they were.

But all the passages have a common feature, that is, they are located very low, at least about two kilometers underground.

This also confirmed his guess. The tunnel network of the alien lair extended in all directions... But the question came again, why did the aliens not escape through these tunnels, but rushed up to the mountainside?

He asked his doubts, and Tao Chengyu grinned: "It's not because of the water..."

After saying this, Ye Han understood that the reason was not that the aliens didn't want to leave, but that the water rose too fast and there was no chance!

Think about it, the escape route must be safe, which means that the entrance cannot be too close to the ground, and is most likely to be located near the core area.

These aliens are also quite unlucky. If the water hadn't poured in so quickly, they would have been able to escape, but now they are all prisoners.

Of course, there should be similar passages in other locations. After all, aliens cannot stay in the core area all the time.

Thinking of this, he asked again: "Is there a passage that can still be walked without being flooded?"

Insects, you looked at me and I looked at you, but none of them said anything.

Tao Chengyu explained softly: "Chief, we usually have our own work, and we don't have time or opportunity to wander around. These situations are really not clear..."

Ordinarily, there must be a passage to the outside world here, but the bugmen present usually move around at the bottom and rarely come into contact with the middle and upper levels. Therefore, they are only familiar with the situation at the bottom and are only familiar with their own one-third of an acre. It is impossible to know this place. details, so I couldn’t answer Ye Han’s question at all.

At this moment, intensive gunshots suddenly came from deep in the cave. Tao Chengyu's words stopped abruptly. Ye Han immediately asked on the radio: "What happened? Who fired the shot?"
