Chapter 55 is some kind of mutated forest dungeon!
The commander-in-chief was quite old, but he stood up straight and had a dignified and elegant face.
His words were extremely sincere, and his gratitude made everyone in the hall straighten their backs.
"As you all know, there was a nuclear explosion at the South China Base No. 2 eight years ago, and that area is now a radiation contamination zone."
In the past two years, unconventional worms have been discovered in various regions, especially in bases in the south.
These unconventional worms first appeared in South China. Through countless reconnaissance and research over the years, we have determined that nuclear radiation promotes the mutation of worms.
Nuclear-contaminated areas are the primary breeding grounds for mutant worms.
Several images of mutated insects appeared on the screen, along with a video.
Yu Shuang was overwhelmed by what she saw, and kept thinking, "Wow!"
It turns out that the mutation rate of the worm in the Northwest region is still the most backward!
Aside from those that haven't grown up yet, only that group of clones has some prestige.
“The combat power and intelligence of the mutated fallen worms are much higher than those of ordinary fallen worms, and their mutation and generation speed is also accelerating. Therefore, the breeding base of the mutated fallen worms must be destroyed!” Yu Songyi said in a deep voice.
This is clearly the core mission of this operation.
“It wasn’t just one nuclear bomb that exploded back then. Over the years, heavy nuclear elements have settled into the soil and water, spreading across thousands of square kilometers through the surface and underground water systems.”
The image on the screen changed to a huge satellite map.
"Because the area is too large, and many of the mutated fallen insects have the ability to fly, even bombers have difficulty getting close."
To destroy the breeding base, ground troops need to enter the contaminated area, locate the breeding sites, and launch a precise strike. Commander Yu explained, and everyone understood.
Aside from the fact that the Fallen Insects have air combat capabilities, the contaminated area is too large, and there aren't enough missiles to clean up the land, so they can only use surgical bombing.
This is indeed a reconnaissance mission.
"The contaminated area faces the sea to the south and is surrounded by mountains and forests on the east, west and north sides. A total of 52 special operations teams entered the contaminated area from three different sides."
The primary objective is to locate the gathering point of the mutated fallen insects and report their coordinates to the rear in real time.
The strategic value of coordinates is divided into three levels based on the number of fallen insects and their mutation status.
The second objective is to make contact with the mutated fallen insects, collect relevant information about them, and enrich the database of mutated fallen insects.
The value of including different types of insects varies, and the more detailed the information, the better.
If you are able, you may bring back samples from living individuals or corpses, but this is by no means mandatory; please act according to your capabilities.
The hall was still quiet overall, with Yu Songyi's voice ringing out loudly from above, but a buzz of discussion had already begun to rise from below.
"Different monsters award different points, right? Is there an achievement for the first kill?"
Peng Qiao found it amusing and muttered excitedly, while a low humming sound echoed in the hall again.
However, Yu Songyi's voice remained steady at a high pitch, loud yet solemn:
"The main dangers of the mission, besides the large number of unknown mutated worms, include radiation hazards."
The most severe radiation was in the two explosion centers from that year, with the radiation decreasing outwards from the explosion centers.
But even the water at the very edge must not be drunk, and meat must not be eaten!
A list of basic equipment appeared on the screen, indicating that each person needed to carry two sets of protective clothing and 7-10 liters of drinking water!
This weight! Qi An could already feel the phantom pain in his muscles.
Even if she gave half to Tang Long, she would still have a hard time!
"All squads must maintain uninterrupted communication with command at all times, pay attention to the situation of squads nearby, and be prepared to provide or request support."
Drones will drop supplies into the contaminated area from time to time. Although the success rate of the drop cannot be guaranteed, each team still needs to pay attention to the landing point of the supplies.
The mission has no set deadline; the end time will be determined by the command headquarters' withdrawal order.
However, if your squad suffers too many casualties, you can apply to the command center for an early withdrawal at any time.
You are the most elite special forces team in the entire continent; their lives are the most precious.
Finally, let's maintain our courage, but more importantly, stay clear-headed and vigilant. May everything go well for us.
After saluting again and expressing his gratitude and blessings, Yu Songyi signaled to the logistics department soldiers to distribute basic supplies on site.
The hall erupted in noise once more, a noise amplified to a new level by the changes on the large screen!
The screen is mostly occupied by the dynamic map of the combat zone, but a list appears in the left quarter. Each cell in the list represents a participating squad, including their squad number and base location.
The table is not your typical, rigid statistical table; it features extra-large fonts, vibrant colors, scrolls automatically, and even has music!
"No... if these little squares with team names don't change in real time according to points, I'll twist my head off and kick it like a ball!"
"The top three might even get special effects!" Peng Qiao shouted to his vice-captain, pointing at the screen.
His vice-captain was both amused and exasperated.
Why make it so fancy?
"Appropriate competition can boost morale, and it's easy to understand in South China..."
"The top three are quite unpredictable."
"We absolutely cannot lose to those bastards from North 4 next door in North 3! Last year, they blocked the water upstream, almost causing us to miss the wheat irrigation season!"
"Southeast No. 1 is probably aiming for the top three, top three indeed! They'll try to beat the Southeast faction so badly they won't even make the top three! They're always poaching other people's scientists and purifiers..."
A table that offered no explanation somehow stirred up old grudges between the bases. The hall was full of young prodigies with warlike tendencies in their blood, and they started making threats on the spot.
The hall was bustling with activity as the members of the Star Team watched the excitement while queuing to collect their equipment.
After receiving Yu Shuang, he was called away by Yu Songyi's secretary.
In the evening, the military canteen served a special roast meat dish, and the 400 soldiers from 52 squads filled one floor of the canteen.
Several members of Fengxu's team had outgoing personalities, including Shi Qingqing. They chatted and laughed around the tables, introducing themselves to each other and quickly getting to know each other, who had been strangers in the morning.
At least the team leaders had a general idea of the teams that might need their support or assistance.
The night before the expedition, the stars were bright and the dinner table was noisy. After the meal, everyone in each squad quietly wiped their guns in the darkness.
The next day, as dawn broke, everyone assembled in the convoy.
The convoy drove out of the south gate of the South China Base No. 1 together, and separated 30 kilometers later, each heading in one of the three directions.
The Stars Squad's location was perfect; they entered directly north of the contaminated area.
"All squad leaders report their positions."
"Ready in position."
"Report on personnel and equipment status."
"Fully staffed, with no equipment missing."
"Received. It is now 8:05 AM on December 5th, 2055. The operation officially begins."
I hope everything goes well for you and that you return home safely.
The members of the Stars Squad tightened their loads and entered the deep, dense forest.
