Chapter 480 Who are they? "Get out of the car! Quickly!"

Two unfamiliar sentries stood at the gate. Their attire was completely different from that of the Third Battalion. They wore dark gray training uniforms, their faces were painted with face paint, and their eyes were as sharp as eagles. They held Type 56 assault rifles in their hands, with the muzzles slightly lowered, exuding a murderous aura that seemed ready to fire at any moment.

They roughly ripped off the blindfolds from everyone's faces one by one, treating them like livestock, cursing and shoving them.

Gao Kai was the last to get off the bus. He was already seething with anger, and when the sentry pushed him, he immediately flew into a rage, his neck stiff as he was about to explode: "Who the hell did you push?!"

The sentry didn't even bother to say a word; he simply raised his rifle butt and thrust it hard into Gao Kai's chest.

"Hmm!"

Gao Kai felt as if he had been hit in the chest by a battering ram, and he instantly lost his breath. All the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat, and his face turned a deep purplish-red.

“Here, you’re not soldiers! If you dare talk back again, I’ll smash your teeth and make you swallow them!” the sentry whispered coldly in his ear.

For the first time, Gao Kai, who was used to being fierce and ruthless, felt a chill that came from the bone.

When Su Tang's feet touched solid ground and she breathed in the first breath of air from the valley, she was certain of her judgment.

The air was thin and dry, carrying the smell of pine and damp rocks. The altitude was at least three thousand meters above sea level.

She looked up and saw the scene before her.

Even with her composure, her pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.

They were in a huge, almost completely enclosed dumbbell-shaped valley.

On both sides are steep cliffs, as if cleaved by an axe, with exposed gray-black rocks that resemble the ferocious ribs of a giant beast, piercing straight into the sky.

The sky overhead was compressed into a narrow blue line, making one feel inexplicably oppressed.

The valley's only entrance and exit were completely sealed off by a massive barbed wire fence, at least five meters high, strung with a high-voltage electric grid. This wasn't ordinary barbed wire; it was a military-grade snakeskin net with barbs, coiled in circles, gleaming menacingly in the sunlight.

In the very center of the barbed wire fence stands a massive iron gate, welded from thick steel plates, covered with mottled bullet holes and scratches, as if telling a tragic story of the past.

On either side of the iron gate are two towering guard towers made of reinforced concrete, which are much taller than the barbed wire fence.

On the firing platform at the top of the tower, two dark Type 53 heavy machine guns were mounted, their long ammunition belts hanging down like cold snakes.

The gun muzzles, one on the left and one on the right, precisely covered the area where they got off the vehicle, forming a crossfire network with no blind spots.

The air was thick with a somber, oppressive atmosphere that made it hard to breathe.

"What...what kind of place is this?" Zhuoyue stared at the towering electric fence, his voice trembling. "Are we...are we going to stay here until we die?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Liu Landi said, her face pale and her palms icy cold.

Xu Gaogui's expression wasn't much better. He muttered to himself, "No... this doesn't fit the structure of any training base. Only the highest-level wartime prisons or secret weapons depots would have this level of fortifications..."

Jiang Yan remained silent, his gaze sweeping across the entire valley like radar. His brows furrowed tightly, and a storm raged within him.

It is easy to defend and difficult to attack; no, it is absolutely impossible to breach it from the outside. Any attacking force would be torn to shreds by the firing positions on both sides of the mountain walls and the crossfire at the valley entrance before it even entered the valley.

Once trapped inside, escape is virtually impossible.

Just then, the roar of a truck engine came from the entrance of the valley.

Everyone turned around to look at the same time.

Then another identical military truck, covered with a thick tarpaulin, slowly drove up and stopped not far from them.

The car door opened, and two menacing-looking sentries jumped out.

Immediately afterwards, ten soldiers wearing distinctly different, clearly superior jungle camouflage uniforms jumped off the vehicle one by one…
