In the command and control room in the deepest part of the underground base, the leader of this group of mercenaries has received information that someone is trying to force their way through the entrance - "How many of them are there, tell them, we have hostages!" The leader of the mercenaries roared, "Let the people above hold on to me." ”

"I'm afraid it won't work, the second team can't stand it anymore. The squad leader was killed, and the rest of the group was already starting to retreat, into the interior of the tunnel. The other mercenary replied in a low voice.

"Bastard, why don't you send someone useful to guard the entrance?!" the mercenary leader had the urge to shoot him - damn damn cowards were going to kill them all!

"Sir, it's the second squad that's guarding there. The mercenary said helplessly. He couldn't have imagined that the second squad, which had always been strong, would be beaten and fled. It is said that the number of opponents is not large.

The mercenary couldn't help but glance at the surveillance screen. On the surveillance screen in the underground base, he could clearly see the smoke rising from the entrance of the base, and the red blood stains and corpses on the snow made his heart palpitate. Lin Rui and Yelena had already crossed the first line of security. The entrance guard has been cleared, and the corpses of several mercenaries are left in the snow.

A mercenary with a bandage over one eye and his entire head ran back with a face full of smoke. "God," he said, "we have been raided, sir. He approached the command room.

"What's the situation, how many people are on the other side?!!" the mercenary leader asked, grabbing him.

"I- I can't be sure. The captain died. The mercenary said nervously, "They don't think there are many of them." But they're too powerful. ”

"Who's in charge there now? I need to know what the hell is going on!" snapped the mercenary leader.

"Someone attacked us with all their might at the entrance, there were only two of them, but they were very efficient and scary. They destroyed the guard we had set up at the door, took the entrance, and have now infiltrated the base. The mercenary said nervously, "I think." The rest of our second team was wiped out - I'm not entirely sure. ”

"We have two fighters back. Another mercenary walked over. Tilting his head to look at the billowing black smoke and flames on the monitor screen, "They have already controlled the entrance, this time I can see clearly, there are only two of them." ”

"What? Only two of you have crushed a squad of a dozen of you? I don't understand! Are you all idiots? And you! Fincher, try the radio again, and if you can get on the satellite communication channel, negotiate with the Russians and get them to stop all action at once. Sue them, we have hostages and weapons in our hands. The mercenary leader said angrily.

"Yes sir. The mercenary in charge of communications replied.

The wounded mercenary asked, "Sir." Can we call out for help and ask for help? ”

"It's useless. The leader of the mercenaries replied, "There are Russian armies everywhere now." The reason why they haven't done it to us yet is because of the hostages and the huge amount of nuclear waste and nuclear warheads here. As long as we're in control of that. They will not dare to act rashly. The two guys who infiltrated were probably the special team they sent to rescue the hostages. ”

The mercenary's face darkened, and he just clenched the rifle.

Fincher, the mercenary in charge of communications, handed the handset to the mercenary leader. "Sir, the satellite communication channel is not available, the signal is blocked by them, and we can't reach them or our people. ”

Then there was a dead silence.

The leader of the mercenaries looked at him. "Damn the Russians, they blocked all the information. The purpose of not allowing us to contact the outside world is to preserve the means of last resort to solve the problem by force. ”

"You're saying they're going to take care of the safety of the hostages and the nuclear material?" a mercenary whispered.

"If they get to the point where they have no choice, they'll do it. No one knows that there are hostages here, and they will destroy this place completely. Then it was declared that it was just a small accident. All the truth will be buried. We are an underground nuclear test base in the Arctic Ocean. Even if something happens, no one knows. The mercenary leader lowered his voice.

"Sir, the radio transceiver is working fine," said the mercenary in charge of communications, "but still can't pick up calls from the satellite channel." He licked his lips uneasily, "However, there seems to be a signal connection to a dedicated line of submarine fiber optic cable." ”

The mercenary leader perked up, "Take it in, right away!" and then he looked up at the screen and whispered, "Damn, they'd better accede to our request." ”

The signal on the screen was steady, it was a woman in professional attire, and she said slowly, "I'm Parmina, a member of the Russian Federal Security Service. I think you should feel the need to talk about it now. ”

"Your call came just in time. The mercenary leader shrugged, "We have hostages in our hands, as well as a couple of tactical nuclear warheads, and a large amount of nuclear waste that has been stored underground. ”

"Needless to say, we know what kind of chips you have in your hands. Parmina smiled, "Or just tell me, what exactly do you want in exchange?"

"Our employer is asking you to release several special prisoners who are being held. The mercenary leader shrugged. "In return, I'll release the scientists on the base. Otherwise, you're going to have to burn everything, you know, it's been almost a week. Your men are still not able to come in. Our patience is running out. ”

"We will not negotiate with extremists. You have forty-eight hours to think about surrendering, or our men will take drastic measures. Palmina said toughly.

"Don't you need these hostages anymore?" said the mercenary leader, gritting his teeth, "and all that nuclear waste, you know exactly what will happen if we blow up the storage tanks." ”

"There are a lot of excellent researchers in Russia. Moreover, the nuclear waste is stored almost 400 meters underground, and we have the ability to deal with such a level of low-level contamination even if there is a small amount of radioactive material spilled. Instead, you will be the first victims, exposed to severe radiation and eventually die a painful death. You're the stupidest bunch of people I've ever met. Parmina said lightly.

The leader of the mercenaries said angrily, "Then try it! I know you've sent someone to infiltrate." That's why you have so much fear! I'm here to see how capable those two people you have sent!"

"Whatever you may say, direct surrender is your only way out. As for those hostages, it would be best to be able to turn out without losing them. But if it comes to the point where there is no other choice, anyone can be sacrificed. Don't think we can't do anything about you, you should understand that. Parmina said coldly. Then the communication signal was cut off and the screen went dark.

"This damn Russian shitch !!" the mercenary leader slammed the communicator on the table, "Everyone, be on guard, keep an eye on those hostages!" (To be continued.) )>
