Chapter 64



"Are these people fucking moles?" Gu Meng, who almost fell into the trap, cursed.

"Boss, be careful, there are explosives in the pit. It doesn't matter if someone is killed by the explosion, but if we alarm them, the mission will fail." said a team member codenamed Goshawk.

Goshawk is an American who can drive all flying machines and is also good at using drones, so he is called Goshawk.

The members of this team were all codenamed after wild animals and birds of prey. Gu Meng was the Wolf King. Lin Xin followed the local customs and also gave himself a codename, Panda.

Lin Xin: "...How can a panda be considered a ferocious beast?"

Everyone: "Don't treat pandas as ferocious animals just because they make a living by being cute. It is said that the bite force of pandas is second only to polar bears and equal to brown bears. The running speed of pandas in the mountains at an altitude of 2,000 meters can exceed Liu Xiang's maximum speed on flat ground. They can climb trees over 20 meters high and use three or four wolves as cushions. Adult pandas have no natural enemies except each other. What are you dissatisfied with such a majestic code name?"

Lin Xin: “…”

Everyone: "More importantly! Kung Fu Panda! When it comes to Kung Fu, of course it's the panda!"

Lin Xin: “…Oh.”

So his code name was determined.

After joining the mercenary group, Lin Xin discovered that all the members liked to insult Gu Meng, and Gu Meng seemed particularly lacking in prestige. Lin Xin once thought that Gu Meng had little control over the mercenary group, but later he learned that the common attribute of the members of this mercenary group was that they were bad-mouthed.

In order to fit in with this group, Lin Xin also started to talk nonsense, and now he has been forbidden to speak by other members of the mercenary group.

Lin Xin thought that this was probably discrimination and exclusion against the new team members.

Everyone: No! You are not just being mean, you are being venomous! Enough! Shut up!

Gu Meng kicked Goshawk and asked, "How far is your drone from the destination?"

Goshawk said: "There are still two kilometers to go, but these two kilometers are not only filled with traps, but also with many guards."

Gu Meng spit on the ground and said, "Let's set up camp first and wait until night. Panda, we need to kill someone tonight. If you can't do it, just follow us and protect yourself."

Lin Xin shook his head: "I'll go. I think I'm better than you. Your shooting skills are too poor."

Gu Meng: "...Shut up!"

Lin Xin said: "These people deserve to be killed. I will not bear legal and moral responsibility. I will not show mercy."

Gu Meng smiled and said, "Okay, then you should work harder."

The black bear said, "Boss, a panda has never killed anyone, so maybe they will still hesitate when the time comes. You'd better protect them, and don't encourage them too much."

Gu Meng said: "Stupid, it's not pulling out weeds to help them grow, it's pulling up seedlings to help them grow. If you don't know idioms, don't always use them in your words. Panda said he has no problem, then he has no problem, he and I are the same kind of people."

Gu Meng paused and said, "Breaking the restrictions of the rules, killing people is no different from killing chickens and ducks."

Black Bear couldn't help but glance at Lin Xin.

Lin Xin said dissatisfiedly: "Who is the same as you? I am a good citizen and never do anything illegal. How can I be the same as you, who is sometimes a gangster boss and sometimes a mercenary boss?"

Gu Meng rolled his eyes at Lin Xin and said, "The two you mentioned have the same identity. Well, you are a good citizen. So, good citizen, has your partner sent any new information?"

Lin Xin said: "We have found their defense and trap maps. After analysis and comparison, this should be the latest. The conditions of Brother Fei and the others have also been confirmed. They are in good spirits and no one is injured."

Gu Meng said: "I don't know how many days the negotiation will take, but we can't lose any hostages. If they are injured now, we have to treat their wounds, otherwise if the hostages die, they will lose the ransom. They won't take action now. First check your trap distribution map nearby, and after confirming that it is correct, break through tonight. This is the only chance, and we can only succeed and not fail. Understand?"

Everyone said, "Understood!"

The leopard said, "Panda, your partner is really powerful, isn't he? Let's talk, do you want to join us?"

Lin Xin said: "Xiao Guang is a legitimate businessman and will not do illegal business. This time is an exception."

Leopard said: "This isn't considered an illegal business, right?"

Lin Xin said: "I'm not saying that you are breaking the law. I'm saying that the way you collected the information is illegal."

Leopard thought about it and nodded: "Okay, hacker, right?"

Lin Xin did not answer. But the other party's words were not wrong.

Huabao no longer mentioned this matter. He was in charge of information in this team, and often he would do hacking and break into the opponent's database. This kind of thing is indeed illegal, and if it is done too big, it is likely to be targeted. It is natural that he does not want to do these things when he has a good and profitable job.

However, this technology was too amazing. Huabao was itching to try it. He thought that after this mission was over, he would definitely pester Lin Xin to ask for the other party's contact information and learn some technology from him.

After a brief exchange, they verified the nearby traps according to the map given by Lin Xin. They gathered an hour later to confirm the authenticity of the map, then set up camp to rest and wait for night.

The optical computer had already scanned the terrain nearby. They went around the back of the mountain and entered the cave group at the foot of the mountain from another road.

To enter the other side of the mountain from here, you need to go through the underground waterway and pass through an underwater rock crevice that is only wide enough for one adult to pass through. After passing through this crevice, you will come to a cave where debris is stored in the terrorist organization's military base. After exiting the cave, go left for two caves and you will reach the place where the hostages are being held.

One of the two caves was the enemy's warehouse for arms, and the other was where the militants guarding the arms lived.

The cave where the hostages were held was sealed by an iron door. There was running water in the cave, and the water was drinkable. Food was delivered through a small hole under the iron door. The hostages ate, drank, defecated and urinated in the cave. Knowing that they would be staying here for a long time, they paid attention to hygiene and dug pits far away from the water source with discarded stones as toilets, which was barely a psychological comfort. Fortunately, the water flow was strong, and in addition to providing drinking water, it could also provide daily cleaning for the five grown men.

There were guards living next to the cave where the hostages were held, and there were patrols at the door at all times.

The terrain of the mountain was scanned after Lin Xin approached here. When scanning, the optical computer consumed a huge amount of energy, and Lin Xin's achievement value dropped rapidly by a single digit. Fortunately, Lin Xin won the Best Actor Award first, and also won some awards in the Golden Melody Awards, so the achievement value was huge, which could be used by the optical computer.

Originally, they were still thinking about how to break through head-on and prepare to deal with the enemy's rain of gunfire and artillery fire, but who knew this would happen? Gu Meng immediately decided to sneak in by water late at night.

Now they can explore the way first.

Gu Meng asked: "Do they know that you found this path?"

Lin Xin said: "Before this group of caves was occupied, a scientific team came to explore it, but later on, for some reason, nothing was done and the team was disbanded. Now Xiaoguang has found this part of the information."

Gu Meng said: "It's so chaotic here, of course we should disband. White Shark will go check it out later, don't let the other side find out."

White Shark is a Chinese who grew up by the sea. His family has been fishermen for generations, but he is the only one who got involved in the underworld. He is very good at swimming, so he uses Shark as his code name.

White Shark said, "Okay."

Lin Xin said: "I am also good at swimming, I will go with him."

These rocks still cause interference, but if he can enter the cave, he can use the optical computer to scan further.

Gu Meng said: "I know you are anxious, but don't do anything bad."

Lin Xin said: "Now we can compare the diving time without respirators and underwater combat."

White Shark was eager to try: "Are you really that good?"

Lin Xin nodded: "Chinese Kung Fu."

White Shark agreed immediately.

Gu Meng: “…”

If Lin Xin won, he would almost believe the nonsense of Chinese Kung Fu.

How did Lin Xin become a perfect iron man in just a few years? Was it really Chinese Kung Fu? Or was it some kind of superhero gene injection?

Lin Xin defeated the White Shark very easily.

Gu Meng guessed a little right. The physical fitness points added by Lin Xin optimized his genes, and his physical fitness was completely different from that of people today. The "full system game" played by Lin Xin, that is, the hell mode of outdoor survival, was a doomsday scene. Lin Xin learned all his battles from here. The holographic scene can restore the battle 100%, but ordinary people cannot fully accept this bloody slaughter psychologically.

But Lin Xin is not an ordinary person. He is just a system intelligence. When he is given a limit, he will strictly follow it. When it is determined that he can kill people or fight other mutant creatures, Lin Xin behaves like a robot with a set program, without hesitation.

Lin Xin had fought mutant monsters in the hell mode sea, and had also fought "humans" with superpowers, although in the end they all ended up being game over - who told him that he had no superpowers? Even with the help of an optical computer, he couldn't defeat these "enemies" with abnormal strength. But now compared with the white shark, the white shark couldn't withstand Lin Xin's terrifying physical strength.

Although Lin Xin won, Gu Meng still felt that he could struggle a bit: "You have never carried out an infiltration mission. If you alert the enemy, do you know how serious the consequences will be?"

Lin Xin said: "I know. I need to put a machine into the cave so that we can know more about the situation inside. But that is Xiaoguang's secret. Xiaoguang only trusts me, so I have to put it there."

Gu Meng held his forehead with his hand: "Why didn't you say so earlier? Others can't do it? Me too?"

Lin Xin said: "I trust you, but I can't convince Xiaoguang to trust you."

Light Brain: Even though I’m busy, I still want to say something. You are very skilled at putting the blame on me.

Lin Xin: Sure, sure. If I pass the buck to you, I am just passing the buck to myself.

Optical Brain: ...

Gu Meng: "Forget it, it's up to you. The worst that can happen to us is that the mission will fail. But your brother Fei is still a hostage in there, so you should think about it yourself."

Lin Xin nodded.

White Shark was excited to pull Lin Xin to go diving, but was kicked into the water by Gu Meng: "Eat something first and recover your strength before going, otherwise you may run out of energy after diving into the water."

The white shark emerged from the water, holding a fish in its hand, and grinned with its white teeth.

Lin Xin looked at White Shark's smile and couldn't help but smile as well.

He looked at his teammates who were all laughing silently, and a feeling gradually came over him. No wonder they could leave each other behind.

This atmosphere is great, so it's natural that Gu Meng would miss it.

The fish caught by the white shark was naturally roasted and eaten. With the cave blocking the smoke, they dared to heat the food.

Previously, in order to prevent the smoke from exposing their location, they had been eating cold dry food.

After resting for a while, Lin Xin and White Shark went to find out the waterway.

The two wore respirators, and the white shark followed behind Lin Xin, swimming towards the gap. Although the gap was big enough for an adult to pass through, it would not be possible to pass through with an oxygen tank on their backs, so they could only take off the oxygen tanks first before they could barely pass through.

After swimming in the gap for a while, the entrance of the cave became wider. Lin Xin and the white shark stayed at the entrance and did not move forward.

Lin Xin gestured to the white shark to wait, and then he typed on the underwater visual screen tied to his arm: "There is an infrared sensor underwater."

White Shark nodded slightly, cursing inwardly.

There are always "businessmen" in this world who don't care about anything for money. The weapons of these terrorist organizations are all provided by these "businessmen". It's not enough to provide ordinary weapons, but they even provide such high-tech, which is really troublesome. Those arms smugglers are really bad and can't be any worse.

In fact, if these people don't only care about money, the terrorist organization will not be able to obtain weapons and equipment, and the arrogance of this terrorist organization will be largely eliminated.

But there are always some people who don't care about these and only care about money.

Even some countries have contributed to this.

Some countries themselves are unwilling to stir up trouble, but if they agree with the extreme ideas of terrorist organizations, they will provide them with money and weapons.

I am afraid that only after energy reform and oil is replaced by other energy sources, those countries will be unable to take care of themselves and the funding chain of terrorist organizations will be completely cut off.

The optical computer had already controlled most of the electronic equipment in the base, but it could not remotely control the self-controlled non-networked equipment here. Now that they had entered the cave, the optical computer controlled these equipment in one fell swoop by emitting light wave messages, and through these equipment, it derived the equipment that controlled them and further understood the situation of the base.

Lin Xin thanked the arms dealers who provided high-tech weapons to the terrorist organization. If the equipment of the terrorist organization was not information-based and high-tech, he would not have it so easy.

If he had to rely solely on some folk remedies to defend himself, Lin Xin would really have no choice but to fight head-on.

After controlling these devices, the optical computer can control these devices to monitor the situation of the base. After Lin Xin further controlled the base, he gestured to White Shark, allowing him to return.

White Shark felt that he just followed Lin Xin out for a while and didn't help in any way.

Well, he could prove that the base opposite was indeed a terrorist organization's base, and he could also confirm that Lin Xin's partner named "Xiao Guang" had taken over some of the facilities in the base. Just look at the small underwater detector in front of him that was "dancing" an "8" dance like a bee.

After Lin Xin and White Shark returned to the cave where they were stationed, they brought the good news to Gu Meng and others.

After listening to this, Gu Meng said, "After hearing what you said, I feel like this mission has suddenly become so simple."

Lin Xin said: "It's not that simple. Xiaoguang can destroy some of their electronic equipment, but he can't destroy their guards. If they want to die with us and ignite the arsenal next to the hostages, none of us can escape. With their behavior pattern, this extreme time is possible. So we must send someone to guard near the arsenal."

Gu Meng nodded: "Leave it to me. Lin Xin, you go and rescue them. White Shark will pick them up underwater. We will continue to leave through this waterway. We will do this before they react."

Lin Xin said: "The sound of gunfire and screams will also attract enemies. If we cannot guarantee that we can kill the enemy with one shot, we must make them unconscious. I am good at close combat and can do this. I will play as a forward."

The leopard said, "I'll go with you. I'm also good at this. The two of us will be responsible for rescuing people."

The others decided to guard the place where the reinforcements must pass and create obstacles, blocking all other roads except the waterway. Small explosions should be able to do this without causing cave collapse.

Lin Xin said: "After we go in, if the other party is alarmed, Xiaoguang will immediately lower the isolation gates to delay them for a while. If they are also locked up underground, they will not directly detonate the base to commit suicide in a short time. You try your best to eliminate the people between the two isolation gates and protect the ammunition from being ignited."

Gu Meng scratched his hair and said, "If your Xiaoguang can really control the isolation door, then I think this mission will be very simple."

Lin Xin said: "It will take time to escape. They also have troops stationed on the ground. But after we leave the underground, we can contact the military for rescue."

Gu Meng said: "We can escape very quickly if each of us carries a hostage. If we flee to a place with a river, we can escape quickly by passing under the current and with the speed of the motorboat. Let's rescue the hostage first."

Lin Xin nodded.

Gu Meng clapped his hands and said, "Okay, you guys take a rest now. Get enough rest. Especially Panda Xin, don't get too excited and unable to sleep."

Lin Xin continued to nod. Then he got into his sleeping bag and fell asleep in seconds.

Gu Meng poked Lin Xin and found that he was really asleep. His mood could only be expressed by "..."

After entering the dense forest, even they had to adapt to the environment, and it was not easy to fall asleep at night. Lin Xin always fell asleep in seconds, just like a programmed robot.

In addition to Lin Xin's strong ability to adapt to the environment, his talent for falling asleep in seconds naturally comes from... he directly enters the system space.

After entering the system's virtual space, his body went into a deep sleep. Lin Xin simulated this battle in the virtual space, and together with the optical computer, he repeatedly calculated the possible problems that might arise.

When Lin Xin "woke up" and it was time to carry out the combat mission, Lin Xin had already calculated the plan dozens of times in the virtual space, taking into account all aspects of unexpected factors as much as possible.

"The mission begins." Gu Meng gave an order. Except for two people who stayed here to provide support, everyone else went into the water and followed Lin Xin and White Shark into the waterway connecting to another group of caves.

They passed through the gap one by one, with the white shark waiting for them underwater. The others quietly followed Lin Xin's instructions and went to their respective positions.

Although there are people patrolling the base at night, this is deep inside the base and there are not many patrollers.

At the entrance of the base, patrols are more frequent.

After all, no one could have imagined that there was a waterway here that could sneak into their base from the other side of the mountain. Even their underwater detection machines did not discover the narrow waterway.

Life in the jungle base was not good, and this was the deepest part of the cave. Everyone had a little fear of the claustrophobic world underground. In order to save energy, although cables were laid and generators were placed here, the power was limited and had to be supplied to various equipment used for defense first, so there was almost no electricity for daily life. They still used torches for lighting underground.

The caves below have natural ventilation holes, so there is no need to worry about running out of oxygen. But in this environment, one can imagine the psychological pressure on people.

The hostages suffered even worse. Fortunately, they knew that crazy hostages were worthless and could not get a higher ransom, so they would throw two torches into the cave where the hostages were every day, burning sparingly to provide four or five hours of light.

However, the hostages were all smart people, and they knew how important this little light was to them, so they unpacked the torches into small ones and lit only one at a time. The tiny light was like a candle, and could only illuminate a small corner. But they could see the light for 24 hours. The five of them took turns to guard this small light.

Because of the claustrophobic horror, the deep part of this cave is like a prison, a place for punishing people, except for supplies. Therefore, there are not many people guarding here. When Lin Xin and his team came out of the water, they were lucky enough not to encounter any witnesses. They walked out of the cave carefully, and saw two people sitting on the ground with guns in their arms and dozing at the door of the armory.

When Lin Xin saw the two men, he rushed out like a leopard, which scared his teammates. When they came to their senses, the two terrorists had been stabbed in the heart by Lin Xin with a dagger.

Seeing Lin Xin pulling out the dagger and shaking it with an expressionless face, these mercenaries who were accustomed to seeing blood actually felt a chill all over their bodies.

However, they didn't stay stunned for long and soon got into the rhythm of the task.

Before they took control of the arsenal, they tried not to use firearms. Because even if a pistol was equipped with a silencer, the sound would only become muffled instead of completely silenced. In such a silent environment, the muffled sound would become very obvious. That was why Lin Xin chose to use a dagger.

These mercenaries were very strong in close combat, and with a sneak attack, they quickly controlled the situation. However, there were more people left here than they did, and they eventually attracted the attention of others, who had already sounded the alarm.

The optical computer immediately lowered the isolation door, allowing Lin Xin and others to use their guns without any scruples.
