Chapter 16 The Hasty Retreat
After finishing the terminal on the second floor, the two of them ran to the first floor, but before they could download much information, a team of armed personnel rushed to support them. The two had another emergency call. Finally, they decided to leave one person to download the file, and the other to lure the enemy away from the brigade. Chen Chao volunteered to lure the enemy.
It’s not that he was arrogant, but that none of the support troops had night vision devices. The entire archives were dark now, and the chances of him being caught by the other party were too small.
Chen Chao kept harassing the enemies who came to support and led them to run all over the field. On the other side, Custer finally completed the download of the last data point. The two of them attacked each other without much effort to eliminate the last five enemies. After fighting here, both of them knew that they could not stay here for a long time, so they did not replenish the corpses on the ground.
: "Don't you go and get a few shots, Archer?" Custer quipped. In the previous operations, Shen Chao was basically responsible for replenishing the enemy.
: "You have to go by yourself. I don't care if you are driven over the support and watch." Chen Chao also relaxed a little now. Although there were a lot of dangers just now, the two of them passed without any danger. The main goal of the mission has been completed, and now it is nothing more than a matter of retreat.
The two quickly rushed to the arsenal deeper in the underground fortress according to the road map they had formulated before. This place is located below the office floor than before. The ground is filled with various war supplies that have been around for a long time, and the doors are also thick explosion-proof doors. It is obvious that it is a high-level refuge during the Cold War period.
Sure enough, due to the chaos in the office area just now, the guards here became very alert. The two of them patrolled in groups, and it seemed difficult to get around.
However, the two were running for life and did not care about the potential danger here. First, one shot and solved the two guards outside the door, and rushed to the elevator leading to the upper floor. The building structure here was very problematic, with a large elevator leading to the ground in the middle. There was a circle of steel stairs next to it. The heads of people were floating on the stairs. It seemed that more than a dozen people were guarding here to prevent them from escaping from here.
Originally, the elevator was a good escape tool. However, the elevator was obviously not powered up now, so it was useless for the two to sit on it. After observing outside for two minutes, the two decided to act separately, first secretly dealing with the enemies on the stairs as much as possible, and then launching strikes on the remaining enemies from both directions.
Chen Chao chose to climb the elevator in the middle and slowly climbed up. He carefully avoided the enemy's sight, climbed silently onto the steel frame, and climbed to the heights little by little. If he met an isolated enemy, he would use a silent pistol to kill him quietly. Custer was doing the same thing on the stairs on the other side.
When Shen Chao solved the fifth enemy, he was finally discovered. While moving towards the nearest bunker, he fought back with a pistol. Custer replaced the automatic rifle behind him and swept down two nearby enemies in an instant. In the following minute, the two men used automatic weapons and the remaining four people to fire and achieved the final victory.
All the enemies nearby were wiped out, but neither of them was happy. Because judging from the enemy's radio, the other party had mobilized a large number of troops to block out various exits, and the original retreat route seemed to be useless.
However, the two did not complain, but just left here quickly. I hope that the command center could arrange a new way out for them before they were discovered again. The two hid in the base. Because the base was too huge, the guards who dared not divide and disperse could not find them for a while.
: "Now, Agent Valentina. Do you have any latest plan for us?" Chen Chao had to ask the command center for help instead of the two. While escaping, he and Custer explained their current situation to the command center respectively.
: "Wait a minute, stay hidden, we are planning a new retreat route." At this time, Agent Valentina lost her previous confidence and her tone seemed a little panicked.
Chen Chao looked at the current position of the two, and it was indeed safer for the time being. However, when the enemy pulled the net and searched, he might not be able to hide. After looking at Caster's expression, he also looked frowning. He probably had the same concerns.
: "Carst, we can't wait for the command center's plan." Chen Chao thought for a while and said.
: "What do you want, Custer. You should know that running out now can only die." Custer warned, obviously he was thinking about an escape plan just now.
: "Remember the arsenal in the architectural structure diagram here? It was mentioned in the informant's information." Chen Chao said.
: "Remember, but the information shows that WMD is no longer there." Custer didn't understand what Chen Chao was doing.
: "I remember there is a subway passage next to it, and we can use the explosives in the arsenal to blow out a way out. Now their main forces are searching for us in the exits and other areas..." Chen Chao explained his thoughts as briefly as possible.
: "Okay, let's go to the arsenal." Caster thought for a few seconds and agreed with Chen Chao's plan. For common reasons, neither of them informed the command center of their latest actions, and closed their external communications. The two just moved their somewhat tired limbs and set off.
The lights in the arsenal are quite bright, which is very unfavorable for concealment. However, the two of them had no other choice, so they could only hide their bodies as much as possible and avoid places with few people.
In one of the halls, the two of them shot and killed three enemies before the enemy fired their guns. Then they went up and down, Fengbie continued to move forward from both directions. It has to be said that as a military base, the defense here is quite tight. None of the two people may be able to escape independently.
However, at this moment, although the two of them complemented each other's guns and launched an attack together to take care of each other's visual blind spots. They killed 7 or 8 guards on guard but were not discovered yet.
More than ten minutes later, the two finally arrived at the core area of the arsenal, a quite large underground warehouse. The two of them worked together to knock on a working door and went in and carefully observed the situation in the warehouse. There were at least 5 or 6 guards holding automatic weapons here, but the most important thing was that there was an automatic turret far away in the warehouse. It was at least 14.5 caliber, and it was absolutely unsuccessful when it hit the body.
If you want to close it, it seems that you can only enter the remote control room, but there is no structure for climbing in the middle that allows the two to get close. The middle of the warehouse is very empty and difficult to hide.
The two looked carefully at everything that could move in the warehouse. Finally, they both set their sights on a container in the distance. This large warehouse has an automated loading and unloading system. The two can move the container through the lifting guides on the ceiling through the lifting guides on the ceiling to the top of the turret and then release it to smash the turret.
This temporary plan sounds beautiful, but both of them know the risks. If one is not done well, it will be a pool of rotten meat by the automatic turret, or it will be dragged too long and be sieved by the reinforcements that have arrived.
: "Are you ready?" Chen Chao turned his head and asked, while also asking himself in his heart.
: "No problem." Custer answered quite simply, although his brows were frowning, but that tone also gave Chen Chao a little confidence.
Chen Chao carefully sneaked near the power switch on the other end of the warehouse, and Custer turned off several chandeliers in the warehouse to help him attract attention. After finally reaching the power switch, Chen Chao gently threw out the only remaining EMP grenade. Two seconds later, the warehouse fell into darkness. Chen Chao took the opportunity to run out, pull down the power switch, and break the handshake part. Now even if someone wants to turn off the power switch here, it will take some time. After doing this, Chen Chao did not forget the short time of the EMP grenade, and quickly ran to the hidden place to hide.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the bunker, the lights in the warehouse were lit up, and several enemies began to come to check the situation.
: "Carster, it's up to you now." After completing his dangerous life, Chen Chao reminded his teammates.
: "I'm in place and ready to load and unload," Custer said.
Chen Chao understood that Custer was about to release EMP, so he quickly prepared. Soon, with another wave of darkness created by EMP, he quickly rushed out of the bunker, pulled out his combat knife, and quickly killed the three enemies in front of him who had temporarily lost their eyesight after a few slashes. Finally, he ran to the next bunker.
: "Accel, I've pulled down the *lobber and come and meet me." After the EMP failed, Custer shouted through the communicator.
: "No, I don't have EMP anymore. You may have to build the container yourself." Chen Chao looked at the terrain and felt that he could not go secretly to meet up.
: "No, the response time of the turret is too fast, we must shoot together." Custer's voice was very firm. Chen Chao looked at it. There were three enemies in the distance in the warehouse, all of which were there. If you want to go out, you can't avoid them and the automatic turret.
: "Wait a minute, I'll go to the other side to try it." Chen Chao finally decided to approach from the other side. Two minutes later, with a rapid gunshot, a huge and heavy container fell. With the huge sound of landing, the automatic turret and the two guards below were smashed into small cakes. Although the last guy was not hit due to the change in position, there was no reason for the two of them to let him go. After a volley, he shot the last guard into a sieve.
Under the bright lights of the arsenal, the two men who did not dare to waste time quickly found and opened several boxes that marked the words "warning" and "explosives", each took a few packs of C4s and several detonators, and quickly ran to the wall connected to the subway. One was responsible for placing explosives, and the other was responsible for connecting the detonators.
Both of them were very quick to move, and it took less than two minutes to set the blasting point. However, at this time, there were also faint footsteps at the door of the warehouse in the distance. It seemed that the big noise from the container just now alarmed them.
: "Hey, man, you should know that if this plan doesn't work, we'll die here." Chen Chao said while connecting the last few wires.
: "Shut up, and, hurry up and connect the broken wire and detonate it." Custer, who took out a long spear and alerted him, growled. Before he could finish speaking, an explosion came from behind, and the strong vibration almost made him fall. Just as he was about to ask something, Chen Chao pulled him and ran away.
