Chapter 248: Pre-training for the Afghan battlefield

Although Luke explained it to everyone, he couldn't help but feel emotional in his heart.

These deformed ogres can really adapt to the environment quickly.

There are different ways of fighting in the jungle and on the plains. As for this mountain warfare... is it an advance rehearsal for the Afghan battlefield?

Lilith's voice came from the communicator.

"Boss, according to the information, there used to be a large mine here, but it was later abandoned due to nuclear weapons experiments."

"Good boy, tunnel warfare, huh?"

Nelson asked Luke over the communicator.

"Boss, what is tunnel warfare?"

Before Luke could say anything, Beckett had already explained it to him.

"There are authentic battles everywhere in the Vietnam battlefield. They will appear where you least expect them and give you a fatal blow."

Luke smiled and said:

"Uncle Bei summed it up very well. That's what I meant."

"Then what do we do?"

"No rush, let's get this old police officer and his family away first. Murdoch, come down and take them to a safe place and leave them there. Let them figure out the rest on their own."

"Got it, boss."

The weirdo simply replaced the old police officer's pickup truck with a good tire, and used the team's own temporary tire repair fluid to fix the rest.

"Murdoch will take you to the nearest city. Once there, you will figure out your own way."

The old police officer didn't know who Murdoch was, so he said regretfully:

"Thanks a lot, but I don't think this tire will last long."

Mudd saw the old police officer's regret, smiled, patted his arm and said:

"You don't have to hold out for long. Murdoch will take you directly to a place very close to the repair shop. All you have to do is drive in."

At this time, Luke also got out of the car and came to the old police officer.

When I saw Luke dressed in a suit, I knew he was the leader of this group.

So he extended his hand and shook Luke's hand to express his gratitude.

"Thank you for your help, otherwise I don't know how long it would take for me to leave."

Luke waved his hand and pointed to a small black dot in the distant sky.

"My plane will take you away, but... warn your family members not to get out of the car and walk around inside the plane."

Looking at Luke's serious warning, the old police officer also realized that this might really be the most confidential department in the country.

He had never even seen their equipment, so it must involve a lot of confidential parts.

So he nodded solemnly and promised:

"Don't worry, I'll ask them to close the curtains and they won't take another look."

Luke nodded in satisfaction.

As Pelican 001 approached for landing, the old police officer was also confused.

This...the shape of this plane is so sci-fi.

It was the first time he saw such a large aircraft that could take off and land vertically.

The rear hatch slowly opened, and Murdoch stood at the hatch and waved to Luke.

The old policeman hurriedly got on the RV at the back and gave serious instructions to his excited wife and children.

Then, Weird Head sat in the driver's seat, the old police officer sat in the passenger seat, and they slowly drove the pickup truck and RV into the cabin of the Pelican.

After parking the vehicle, Weird Head and Murdoch helped secure the car and then walked down to the cabin.

Murdoch closed the rear door, went to the driver's seat and started the plane.

The plane slowly ascended.

Strangehead, Luke, and Mulder all looked up at the rising plane.

"Strange head, look how steadily Murdoch flies this plane. You have to believe in the medical level of your boss's family. He has been cured."

The strange head shook his head.

"No, unless there is a different pilot, I will never sit on a plane driven by him..."

After the plane flew away, Luke said in the communicator:

"OK, guys, let's get to work. Can Lilith find the entrance and map to the mine?"

"It's ready, boss."

"OK, Cook, let's send out the small drone to explore the way first. We will drive directly to the mine entrance."

After the three got in the car, they followed the small drone to the entrance of the mine.

After driving here, everyone found that the entrance to the mine was very large, at least larger than the entrance to a biological, chemical and nuclear bunker.

Lilith explained to everyone on the communicator:

"According to records, the total length of this mine is 22 kilometers."

The total length here refers to the total length of each route in the mine.

"And this mountain will reach an abandoned town after 1.8 kilometers. The suspicious parking lot is also there. It is very likely that this mine has a road leading to that place."

After Luke confirmed Lilith's analysis, he said into the communicator:

"First, send out the drone and robot spider to explore. We can't rush into the unknown cave. At least we have to confirm that it is safe."

The team members had no objection, so Cook and Erica controlled their respective drones and robot spiders to enter the mine.

"Boss, this road is safe."

"Boss, this road is safe, but it's a dead end."

As Cook and Erica continued their reconnaissance, they finally found a way to the back of the mountain.

Although there is a lot of dust, there are still signs of human activity.

"Boss, we found a lot of wheel marks. We can see the exit here."

"Very good. Pay attention to whether there are other small passages nearby that can accommodate human entry and exit."

"Boss, the drone discovered that the abandoned town in the canyon behind the mountain had a large amount of heat source reaction."

Luke smiled and said:

"It seems that our arrival has alarmed them. That's good. This way we don't have to go through rat holes to find them one by one."

"Boss, they are heading towards the mine and the mountain. They are clearly divided into two groups, with a total of about seventeen people."

Lilith has projected the drone footage onto the displays of each vehicle.

"Pay close attention to the few people who go up the mountain, and we will eliminate the rest in the mine."

After the entire team was ready, they got off the car one by one and began to enter the mine.

Leaving Luke and Johnny in the car.

Through each member's helmet camera, Luke and Johnny can clearly see the entire combat process of the team members.

Johnny sighed:

"Boss, when will you prepare this kind of equipment for me?"

Luke glanced at Johnny.

"How come you, a magic warrior, always want to move towards the technology warrior?"

Johnny shrugged.

"Cool enough, cool enough..."

Luke smiled and said to Johnny:

"Okay, I'll get you a cool outfit when we get back."

Johnny said to Luke excitedly:

"It's a deal, you have to remember it, be cool, be stylish..."

While the two were chatting, the team had already exchanged fire with the deformed ogres that had entered the mine.

"Be careful, they have firearms, shotguns and pistols."

Although there were some faint indicator lights in the mine, the team members did not use flashlights when entering dark areas like traditional SWAT teams.

All personnel are supported by multi-functional night vision goggles, with digital display and impact point display. With technology advanced to this level, how can we lose?

As the team cleared out the deformed ogres in the mine one by one, Luke asked Lilith:

"Lilith, what's going on with those ogres on the mountain?"

"Some have disappeared, and some are quietly approaching your direction, boss."

At this time, Luke looked at Johnny and smiled mysteriously...
