"Actuary, what do you mean?" said Gross frowned as he looked at the young man in handcuffs and tied to his chair. Completely different from these people, this young man did not have the slightest military aura on him, on the contrary, he had too much bookish air. His thin physique, and the pair of glasses he wore, made him more of a college student than a military combatant.

"My profession used to be called a staff member, a master, or a staff officer. Mr. Jiang shrugged and said, "Equivalent to a strategic planner." Since you have read "Sun Tzu", don't you know the record of temple calculations? Those who win in the temple without a fight will be counted as many, and those who will not be victorious in the temple without a battle will be counted as few. You are responsible for fighting, and I am responsible for counting. ”

Gross waved his hand, "I'm not interested in this, I just want to know when they're going to attack at noon?"

"I can't say anything about that. Mr. Jiang shook his head and said, "There are two reasons, first of all, this is just my preliminary judgment, I am tied here and cannot check your tactical deployment." Therefore, reasonable inferences cannot be made based on the actual situation. The second reason is the most important reason, on behalf of Morningstar, to conduct a third-party assessment of your real confrontation. So I can't help you, and I won't do anything that affects the outcome of the battle. ”

"Do you want to die?" said Gross coldly.

"Mr. Gross, perhaps you are a rogue mercenary who does not respect the spirit of the contract. But I'm an actuary who respects contracts. Mr. Jiang smiled slightly, "Besides, if you kill me, you will offend the top management of Morningstar." And Morningstar is a world-class expert on military security issues, and it is inextricably linked with all parties, and it is much more difficult to provoke them than to poke a hornet's nest. So don't threaten me, I'm not threatened. ”

Gross turned in silence, walked outside the command room, and said to his men, "From now on, let everyone be on heightened vigilance." Find two more people to take a good look at this Mr. Jiang for me. As soon as he makes any move, kill him immediately, this person is very dangerous. ”

"He's just a corporate accountant, and I can kill him with one finger. The Israeli mercenary said disapprovingly.

Gross shook his head, "This person is not simple, and he is by no means an ordinary security assessor. I suspect he had another purpose, maybe the silver wolf Michelle sent him undercover. You know that Silver Wolf has some influence in Morningstar. In order for his people to win, in the name of a military security assessor, it is possible to plant a spy in. ”

"He's just him, that crepe guy is going undercover? He's about the same as a college teaching assistant or librarian, and the silver wolf wouldn't look down on this kind of person if he's blind, right?" the big mercenary scoffed.

"Not the best, but we had to guard against it. As long as we look at him to death, he will not be able to turn the sky. After seventy-two hours, the confrontation will be over. Then he won't matter. "But what he just said reminded me that the enemy doesn't have to attack at night, so let everyone be on guard now." Key position, plus double posts. You can't leave the other party a chance. ”

On the hillside not far from the military fortress, Lin Rui and others were observing the movement of the fortress through the guò telescope. Qin Fen put down the binoculars and frowned slightly, "The situation is not good." Gross seemed to have a premonition of something, the fortress was significantly more vigilant, and mobile patrols were more frequent. Kobayashi, are you sure, or we'll have to wait? It should be more advantageous to delay until the evening. ”

"No, they will be more careful at night. Now you can still be surprised and caught off guard. Lin Rui thought for a while and said, "Okay, arrange the task." Qin Fen, Peng Lefeng, and Chen Nanqing and I were responsible for infiltrating. Hu, you're in charge of the periphery. Are the tools ready?"

"It's ready. Wetsuit, small underwater air-cutting equipment. Qin Fen took out a camouflage bag, which contained a complete set of underwater gas cutting equipment. Lin Rui nodded, and several people quickly changed into diving suits, silently sorting out their weapons and equipment. In order to prevent water from affecting the performance of the weapons, these weapons and equipment are packed into sealed bags while they are diving. Only after it has come out of the water can it be taken out and used.

After getting ready, Lin Rui put on his diving goggles and made a gesture to Ah Hu, who was left behind. Then the four of them touched the hillside and quietly went into the water in a hidden place. The water in the mountains is a little cool, and the water is a little muddy, and the visibility under the water is not very good.

It took Lin Rui and the others some effort to find the entrance to the sewer, and he turned around and made a gesture to Qin Fen. Qin Fen took out the gas cutting equipment, which is specially made and can be ignited underwater by using electronic ignition. Originally, it was used for underwater operations such as ship room maintenance, and steel plates could be easily cut. The iron bars used to deal with the sewers, of course, are not a problem. They easily cut through the underwater iron fence and sneaked down the pipe to the interior.

A series of blisters slowly rose on the cold surface of the sewers, and a man wearing diving goggles slowly revealed his head, followed by another. The four men of the fifth squad had already dived down the waterway below the military fortress. Lin Rui took off his diving goggles, looked around, took out the architectural drawings and looked at them, and said in a low voice, "We came in, this is the sewage pipe." The door in front should be the sewage pumping station marked on the drawings. ”

Qin Fen also came up from underwater, took off the diving goggles and respirator on his head, looked around and said, "I just want to know, where is the exit to the surface? ”

"What else do you expect from the sewers?" said Peng Lefeng, another member of the team, with a smile.

"Alright, stop talking nonsense. Lin Rui squatted down and said, "There are many exits to the ground, but it is difficult not to be discovered. You see, here, and here are all in the fire control area of the sniper tower, and as soon as you show your head, you will be discovered. So we had to find another way. Personally, I think it's the most suitable location for you. He pointed to a spot on the building plan.

"You're crazy, that position is just over five meters from the sniper tower. Qin Fen's face changed greatly.

"I'm not crazy, the closer you get, the less people on the tower will find out. Because the view from the tower was wide, he wouldn't stare at his feet. Lin Rui smiled slyly.

Chen Nanqing nodded and said, "That's right, standing on a high place, you have a wide line of sight, but there are also limitations and blind spots." This is the same as the traditional darkness under the lamp. ”

"But when we got to the sniper tower five meters away, we couldn't advance or retreat. It's easy to be spotted if you move a little, but you can't just squat there all the time, right?" Qin Fen said helplessly.

"Of course we can't wait, in fact, we have to go out for three to five minutes and have to withdraw to the sewers. Lin Rui looked at them and said, "The reason why we went out there was to clear the way for our next move by clearing the shooters on this sniper tower." ”

Qin Fen thought for a while and said, "I observed before I came, there should be two people in this sniper point. One sniper, the other an observer. As long as they are cleared, then at least the area will be safe. ”

Lin Rui nodded and said, "For the sake of safety, Peng Lefeng and I will secretly go up, and you will be responsible for taking cover." After clearing this sniper point, Peng Lefeng is responsible for taking over the sniper point. Provide remote assistance to other squads as they enter. And we have to get around to the next target before the patrol passes through this area. Remember to stay connected. You have a good vision from above, and when necessary, you can guide us and avoid danger. ”

Peng Lefeng nodded and said, "No problem." ”

After discussing, Lin Rui walked in front, waved his hand slightly, and motioned for Peng Lefeng to follow. But as he approached the exit, he suddenly stopped and clenched his fist with one hand to signal a stop.

"What's wrong?" Peng Lefeng whispered.

"Something isn't quite right. Lin Rui frowned.

Peng Lefeng looked around vigilantly, looked up again, and said in a low voice, "There's nothing wrong, I didn't find anything abnormal." The manhole cover for the sewer outlet is on it. Moreover, Ah Hu is still observing in situ on the hillside outside the fortress, and if there is anything unusual outside, he will notify us. ”

Lin Rui shook his head and said in a low voice, "It's still not right." ”

"What's wrong?" Peng Lefeng frowned.

"Look at these metal ladders. Lin Rui said in a deep voice, "This military fortress was built during the Cold War in the last century, and the sewers are excessively humid. So these metal stairs are rusted on the strict zhòng. But you see, the top iron steps, compared to the lower ones, are obviously less corroded. ”

"So what's the matter?" Peng Lefeng said inexplicably.

"Don't you understand? This means that someone has been here recently, but they have not gone down to the bottom, but only a few steps. Therefore, the rust of the upper iron steps was stepped on, but the lower ones were not. That's why it looks like the rust on the top iron steps is better than the one below. Lin Rui frowned and said, "The key is why this person didn't come down." If it was Gross's team of mercenaries to inspect this sewer, there was no reason why they wouldn't come down. Unless ......"

"Unless what?" Peng Lefeng asked in surprise.

Lin Rui seemed to suddenly remember something, and immediately held Peng Lefeng down, and pulled down the infrared monocular on his helmet. Tong Guò observed carefully, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's dangerous." Lefeng, we've been fighting back and forth at the Ghost Gate just now. What is the position above the wall of the manhole, more than a meter closer to the manhole cover?"

Peng Lefeng also opened the infrared monocular, and under the display of this monocular with thermal imaging function, there is a clear heat source above the well wall near the manhole cover. Peng Lefeng's heart jumped wildly, and he said in surprise, "Induction bomb." ”

"That's right, it's a treacherous mine, and it's well hidden against the wall of the well. Inductive triggering is used, so you must bring your own battery. However, the battery heats up slightly during use, which is why the heat source is shown on thermal imaging. Gross's men had been here, but not to inspect the sewers, but to plant a bomb at the mouth of the well. Whatever we could think of to dive in, they thought of it too. Lin Rui said in a low voice
